C11 Give Me Back My Baby
When Xia Xingcheng woke up again, she had already left the engagement banquet between Xia Xingyan and Xu Hao. All she saw were snow-white walls. She had been sent to the hospital at some point.
She still had a splitting headache, as if someone were pounding her head with a hammer.
"Xiaobao …"
She was a little weak as she called out, but she did not expect her voice to turn slightly hoarse the moment she spoke. Immediately, she began to cough violently.
Uncle Xia was standing at the side of the sickbed. Seeing that she had woken up, he didn't care about her words at all. Instead, he immediately asked, "Let me ask you, what's your relationship with Sheng Yeting?"
Now, besides disgust, Xia Xingcheng had no other feelings in her heart.
She could almost smell the stench of his interests, and it made her headache worse.
She was in no mood to pay attention to her father's question. She forced herself to sit up from the bed and shouted, "Xiaobao, hurry up and come over here."
"Stop shouting, he's not here." Uncle Xia frowned and said impatiently, "I asked Xingyan to take him out for a meal. You only need to answer my question, what is your relationship with Sheng Yeting?"
Xia Xingcheng refused to believe that he would have such good intentions. Even more so, she could not imagine what kind of harsh treatment Xiaobao would be subjected to if he stayed by Xia Xingyan's side.
"What does it have to do with you?" Her face immediately darkened as she coldly glared at him. "I think I've made myself clear. If you go your own way, I'll go mine. In the future, I won't disturb you."
"Alright, let's go our separate ways." Uncle Xia smiled coldly and nodded, "Then you can go. The farther the better."
Xia Xingcheng lifted her hand and pushed away the quilt covering her body, barely supporting herself as she stood up. "I will leave. I will leave with Xiaobao as well. Don't worry, I will not trouble you."
"Xiaobao is a child of Xia Family, so he naturally has to stay and raise. Is it up to you to degrade your own people like this to raise him? "
Uncle Xia's words were like needles stabbing her, causing her to be in so much pain that she couldn't even scream.
When he first saw Xiaobao, he called him "bastard". Now, he knew that the father of the child was probably the illustrious Boss Sheng, so he changed his face immediately.
"Whatever you want to say is up to you." Xia Xingcheng clenched her hands, her voice became louder, "I don't want anything, I just want Xiaobao!"
After experiencing so many things, there was almost nothing left beside her. No one cared about her, nor did they care if her life was good or bad.
Five years abroad had allowed her to grow a lot, but at the same time, she had also woken up a lot.
During this most painful and unforgettable period, Xiaobao accompanied her at her side. He accompanied her through spring, summer, autumn and winter, through many days and nights.
The importance of Xiaobao to her was definitely not something her father and the others could understand.
"I can give him back to you." Uncle Xia raised his eyes and sized up her expression, replying at a leisurely pace, "I just heard that there's a project called Lehman at the Sheng family that's looking for a partner. If you can persuade Boss Sheng to cooperate with the Xia family, I will naturally return the child to you."
He spoke lightly, but his mind was clear.
How many people had squeezed their brains out to fight for this project named Lehman? It was easier said than done.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt the child. Make the best use of your time."
With that, Uncle Xia walked away, leaving Xia Xingcheng standing alone in the ward. She was so cold that it felt like she was in a cave of ice.
She only met Sheng Yeting once due to a coincidence. Now, where would she go to find his person?
Sheng Yeting had a high and mighty status, so just getting close to him was already extremely difficult, not to mention that Sheng Yeting had to struggle to negotiate with him.
No matter how worried she was, Xia Xingcheng still chose to take the initiative without any hesitation. She couldn't wait a day longer and wanted to get out of the hospital as soon as possible and finish what she needed and snatch her child back from her father's clutches.
She checked online and found that there were quite a few news reports about Sheng Yeting. They said that he was a young talent, a talent that was rarely seen in a hundred years.
However, Xia Xingcheng didn't care about any of this. She quickly found the address on the company's official website, and immediately went through the discharge procedures before rushing to Shengshi Group.
When she arrived, it was already afternoon. She couldn't help but sigh with emotion as she looked at the tall building in front of her. In the spacious and empty lobby, the tiles were clean enough that it was almost enough to light up a person's shadow.
"Hello." She took two steps to the reception and quickly shouted, "I want to see Sheng Yeting."
However, the receptionist didn't even look up when she heard this. She just asked in a cold, expressionless voice: "Do you have an appointment?"
The appointment, where did she get it? She didn't even know the man's contact details.
The front desk girl seemed to have seen through her thoughts. She didn't wait for her reply and cut off her path: "Sorry, I can't let you in without an appointment."
How could she leave now? She was too weak to even stand properly, so she held the door and squatted in front of Sheng Yeting's company.
It was a scorching season, and the scorching sun almost made Xia Xingcheng faint. However, no matter how unwell her body was, she still gritted her teeth and silently endured it.
She waited for a full three hours and only when it was close to evening did she finally see Sheng Yeting's figure at the door.
However, Sheng Yeting was too busy answering the phone to notice her presence, so he got into the car and prepared to leave.
Xia Xingcheng hurriedly got up and chased after him. She wanted to tell the man to stop, but when she opened her mouth, she found that her throat was dry and hoarse.
As the car passed her and disappeared at the end of the road, she rushed to the front of the car to block it.
Sheng Yeting, who sat in the back seat, noticed the situation and his expression completely changed.
