C13 You Clearly like It and You Say You Hate It
Since Sheng Yeting wasn't willing to help, she could only rely on herself now.
She had to find her child. She absolutely couldn't let her father and the others succeed.
After making up her mind, Xia Xingcheng left the Shengshi in a hurry.
She returned to the Xia Family Villa, but did not enter through the main entrance. Instead, she quietly snuck in from the backyard, carefully avoiding all the surveillance.
Her father took Xiaobao away, so the first thing she thought of was this villa.
If her father locked Xiaobao in any corner of the mansion, then she would secretly leave with Xiaobao and never come back here again.
But she looked up and down, and there was no clue.
Isn't he in the villa?
Xia Xingcheng raised the center of her brows. Before she could think too much, a sweet voice sounded, "Hao, I feel so tired."
It was Xia Xingyan!
Xia Xingcheng was shocked. She immediately hid behind a potted plant at the side, using the dense foliage to block her figure. Through the gaps between the leaves, she clearly saw Xia Xingyan and Xu Hao slowly walking towards them.
"If you are tired, why don't we go back and rest?" Xu Hao raised his eyebrows at Xia Xingyan with an evil smile.
"You're so annoying!" Xia Xingyan nagged at him coquettishly.
Xu Hao then pulled her into his embrace, and lightly touched the tip of her nose, "You really like that matter, still don't admit it?"
"You're so annoying, I'm ignoring you." Xia Xingyan, whose thoughts had been exposed, pretended to be angry and turned her face away.
Xu Hao coaxed her even though he knew it was fake.
Looking at the two's intimate action and hearing Xu Hao's sweet words, bitterness surged up in her heart. Xia Xingcheng quietly clenched her hands by her side.
Back then, Xu Hao had coaxed her like this as well. Back then, she thought that he loved her and that they would spend the rest of their lives together.
However, his distrust towards her after that incident had completely destroyed her feelings for him.
When she thought about how she had been tempted by such a trash back then, she felt it was laughable. She felt that she had really been blind back then!
"My dad told me to take care of that annoying Xiaobao …"
When Xia Xingcheng heard Xia Xingyan mention Xiaobao, she quickly stopped her thoughts and listened attentively to Xia Xingyan's next words, "He is staying in the hotel by himself. If anything happens, it will be troublesome.
"But I don't really want to go." Xia Xingyan pouted. She wasn't very willing to go to the hotel to take care of Xia Xingcheng's son.
Xu Hao frowned. Honestly speaking, he hated Xiaobao. His existence reminded him of Xia Xingcheng's betrayal all those years ago.
But just like what Xia Xingyan said, that Xiaobao is very important to Xia Family.
Therefore, he weighed the pros and cons, suppressed the disgust in his heart towards Xiaobao, and said to Xia Xingyan with a smile, "Then I'll go with you."
"Really?" Xia Xingyan was pleasantly surprised.
Xu Hao acknowledged and said, "Let's go."
"Alright."
Xiaobao is at the hotel!
Xia Xingcheng looked at Xia Xingyan and Xu Hao's leaving figures. Thinking of this, she quietly followed them.
She followed them all the way to the hotel. Xia Xingcheng didn't even think about following them, but when she reached the door, she was stopped by a waiter.
"Miss, please show your membership card!"
"A membership card?" Xia Xingcheng frowned.
Perhaps he saw her doubt, the waiter explained: "Our hotel requires a membership card to enter."
Xia Xingcheng, who couldn't take out her membership card, could only watch as Xia Xingyan and the others disappeared from her sight.
She sighed in frustration, stepped back, and looked up at the hotel building.
She didn't know which floor Xiaobao lived on.
"..."
At the same time, in the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel, Sheng Yeting was eating with his parents.
Uncle Sheng and Aunt Sheng had been living abroad for a long time. It was rare for them to come back this time. Sheng Yeting refused the social interaction and specifically came over to accompany them for dinner.
As a parent, when he saw his son not even have a girlfriend despite having reached the age of marriage, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Yeting, when are you going to get married?" Aunt Sheng put down the chopsticks in her hands and glared at Sheng Yeting who was sitting opposite her with dissatisfaction.
"When it's time to get married, of course." Sheng Yeting replied plainly.
Hearing this answer, Aunt Sheng could not help but get angry, "You only know how to talk back to your father and me! "In my opinion, even if your father and I died, you still aren't married!"
"Mom!" Sheng Yeting raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. He looked at his mother helplessly, "Mom, I will get married, but I can't rush it."
Hearing that, Aunt Sheng let out a heavy sigh, her tone became a lot gentler, "Yeting, I know you've been very busy these past few years, so busy that you didn't have time to think about your own matters. But now that the company is growing so steadily, it's time for you to plan your life. Your dad and I are still waiting to carry our grandson. "
Aunt Sheng said as she nudged Uncle Sheng, who was standing beside her. Uncle Sheng was stunned, but quickly reacted and agreed, "Yeting, your mom is right. Now that the Sheng family has gradually entered a stable state, you should relax for yourself. For example, find a girlfriend to have a relationship with, or get married. "
Did they think he could find a girlfriend anywhere?
Could he marry at will?
Sheng Yeting didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn't help but shake his head. Out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the person standing in front of the hotel entrance downstairs.
His gaze suddenly turned cold.
How did she come here?
Aunt Sheng noticed that something was wrong with him and frowned, "Yeting, are you alright?"
Hearing that, Sheng Yeting looked away and shook his head, "Nothing."
He lowered his head to eat, but his eyes never left the woman downstairs. His eyes were covered with a layer of ice.
He didn't expect her to follow him here. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have helped her. He couldn't shake her off so easily.
A wave of disgust rose in his heart. He retracted his gaze and continued to eat, pretending that he didn't see her.
Xia Xingcheng didn't know that she was misunderstood by Sheng Yeting.
She looked at the hotel building, her teeth nibbling at her lower lip, her pretty little face clearly annoyed.
She clearly knew that Xiaobao was in this hotel, but she couldn't save him.
She was really angry.
It didn't matter though. As long as Xiaobao stayed in this hotel, she would have ways to get him out.
The most important thing right now was how to get into the hotel.
Just as she was at a loss for what to do, she saw a recruitment notice beside her.
The hotel is hiring waiters.
Xia Xingcheng's eyes suddenly lit up. She had hope!
She ran over to tear down the recruitment notice, then returned to the waiter and raised the notice in her hand. "I'm not a member, so I can't enter. I'm here to apply!"
