After receiving the certificate, she was pinched and doted on by the wealthy heir.

Xia Mingcheng was also shocked.

Their eyes met, and after a few seconds Xia Lian looked ugly: "I didn't expect you to be Taotao's father, let alone that you are still alive in this world."

Xia Mingcheng tightened his lips: "Sorry."

"You don't need to apologize. For Taotao's sake, I won't argue with you today. Come over here. I have something to say to you alone."

Xia Lian had a cold face, and when she turned to Xia Taozhi, she showed some tenderness: "Don't worry, Taotao, your dad and I are old acquaintances. There are some things that we can only talk to in private."

Xia Taozhi nodded.

Not far away, Xia Lian and Xia Mingcheng stopped.

Jiang Xuan was driven back by Xia Lian. From a distance, he could only see the two people's expressions of confusion on each other's faces, but couldn't hear what they were talking about.

Xia Lian sneered: "You have had a good life these years. You have had a child and you have reached this age. You have never thought about meeting me again, right? It's a pity that God is not as good as man, but you and I still met."

Xia Mingcheng raised his eyes and looked into the distance, his eyes full of sorrow and unexplainable thoughts.

Seeing him like this, Xia Lian became even more angry: "Don't think that I won't settle the debts with you just because you have avoided all these years! You have to remember, if it weren't for you... nothing would have happened to Ruirui!"

"How can you be so embarrassed to survive after so many years? You still changed your last name to Xia? Ha, what do you mean? If you want to use this to prove your deep love, then there is no need."

Before she finished speaking, Xia Mingcheng interrupted her lightly: "Don't talk about the past."

Xia Lian stared at him angrily: "In your heart, is it really over?"

In the distance, Xia Taozhi was a little anxious.

Although the conversation between the two of them could not be heard, it was obvious that the conversation between Dad and Aunt Lian was not going smoothly.

After a while, the two broke up unhappy.

Xia Mingcheng returned to the car with a dejected look on his face. He just nodded lightly to his daughter, closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Xia Lian's lips turned white, but her cheekbones were stained with an abnormal layer of crimson, which was obviously caused by emotional excitement.

"Aunt Lian, are you okay?" Xia Taozhi asked with concern.

"It's okay." She smiled lovingly and waved her hand, "Don't worry."

After chatting for a few more words, Jiang Xuan drove Aunt Lian back.

Jiang Xuan walked halfway, then turned back and said to Xia Taozhi: "I have never seen Aunt Lian so angry. You... treat it as a snack."

Han Xiao's eyes darkened slightly.

Because this last sentence is for him.

Xia Taozhi was confused and uneasy. She returned to the car and wanted to ask her father something, but found that Xia Mingcheng was still sleeping.

Finally returning home, Xia Mingcheng slowly walked up the steps: "I know what you want to ask, but wait for me to rest for a while before I tell you, okay?"

"Dad, are you okay?" She was worried.

"It's okay." He turned back and gave his daughter a comforting smile.

Something is wrong, I still feel like something is wrong everywhere.

Xia Taozhi endured the doubts in her heart, forced herself to calm down, and continued to do her thing step by step.

When Han Xiao saw her sitting at her desk drawing, he couldn't help but ask: "Didn't you talk to your dad?"

"He's not in good condition right now, let's wait and see."

"It seems obvious that he and Aunt Lian have definitely known each other before and have a close relationship." The man flipped through the information in his hand and hit the nail on the head.

"I have never heard my dad mention Aunt Lian since I was a child." She stopped the painting in her hand, her eyes full of doubts, "If we really have a good relationship, why don't I know about it at all?"

"That is, before you were born, he had a very good relationship with Aunt Lian." Han Xiao raised his eyes, half-smiling, "Maybe they were old lovers before."

Upon hearing this, Xia Taozhi's face immediately darkened, and she reminded her sternly: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Oh, that's what you've guessed in your own mind."

"I didn't." Her little face tightened.

Han Xiao found it interesting and reached out to pinch her pink cheeks: "You know it yourself." After saying this, he got up and went to the study directly.

"I'll have a video conference later. Ask Auntie to prepare some coffee and bring it over later."

"it is good."

After Han Xiao left, Xia Taozhi lowered her eyelids and sighed inwardly.

After all, what this man just said did go into her heart.

As a biological daughter, you think so, let alone others?

Shaking her head to get rid of these distracting thoughts, she quickly returned to her work.

Within two days, Xia Lian took the initiative to contact me again: "Taotao, are you free? Come with me to attend an event tomorrow. Ah Xuan is very busy again."

"It just so happens that I've finished all the work I'm doing. What kind of activities are you going to do?"

"Brand press conference." Xia Lian smiled bitterly, "I can't even say no, I have to go, and a special plane was sent to pick me up. I can't go now."

Xia Taozhi: "Okay."

Knowing that his daughter was going to accompany Xia Lian to a neighboring city, Xia Mingcheng hesitated for a while: "Do you have a good relationship with this Aunt Lian? When did you meet?"

"We haven't known each other long, but Aunt Lian is really nice to me."

She tilted her face and thought carefully, "She feels like a mother to me."

Xia Mingcheng seemed to be shocked.

Seeing her father's expression change, she smiled and explained: "Of course, you can't compare it to my real mother, I just mean it feels like this. By the way, Dad, how did you and Aunt Lian meet? You... Is the relationship not good? Last time I saw you seemed to be quarreling with her."

This question has been hidden in her heart for a long time.

It took two days before he took this opportunity to ask. Xia Taozhi felt that it was not easy for him...

Xia Mingcheng shook his head: "It's not a quarrel, how could I... quarrel with her."

"That you……"

"Stop talking, go and come back quickly. Remember to tell Axiao, don't let him worry about you, and pay attention to your safety." He paused, "When you come back, I will go through the divorce procedures with Jiang Na. "

Xia Taozhi looked solemn and nodded: "Okay."

Right now, the top priority is for his father to completely draw a clear line between him and that woman.

As for his relationship with Aunt Lian...

It's not something she can intervene at the moment, and she will make plans slowly when the time comes.

With this thought, Xia Taozhi and Aunt Lian boarded the special plane together.

Before boarding the plane, Jiang Xuan rushed over to teach her some precautions in taking care of Aunt Lian, which made Aunt Lian dumbfounded: "I'm not a three-year-old child, and Taotao is not an idiot. Why do we look like adults in your eyes?" Not a big kid?"

Jiang Xuan remained serious: "That's different. This time you have to leave for a day and a night. Of course I won't worry if I don't stay with you."

After he muttered a few more words, Aunt Lian finally waved her hands impatiently: "I'm so long-winded. I don't know when I can bring me a nephew and wife back."

Jiang Xuan glanced at Xia Taozhi subconsciously and quickly looked away: "Let it go."

After boarding the plane, Xia Taozhi was surprised to find that there was a seat next to the cab, and there was already a person sitting on it.

The man slowly dropped the corner of the newspaper.

Xia Taozhi: "Han Xiao?!"
