“Mom, when will father come out?” Jiang Xue asked carefully.

Xia Chun’s expression darkened a bit as she sighed and said, “Your father won’t be able to come out any time soon. First, it was extortion and blackmail. Then, I don’t know who reported him for misusing public funds, and the amount is not small.”

“What are we going to do in the future?” Jiang Xue’s tears that had stopped were about to burst out again.

Jiang Xue knew very well that if her father did not come out, she would not be able to live a rich life by relying on her incompetent mother.

Xia Chun looked at Jiang Xue and felt extremely melancholic. She did not expect that after being rich for most of her life, she would end up in such a miserable state in her later years. She was also unwilling to accept this.

After a long silence, Xia Chun seemed to have finally made a decision. “Let’s go to your grandfather and seek refuge with him.”

“Grandfather?” Jiang Xue was shocked. How did she not know that she had a grandfather?

Ever since Jiang Xue returned to the Jiang family, she had never heard Xia Chun mention her grandfather. Jiang Xue once thought that he might have pa.s.sed away, but she did not expect him to still be alive.

“Yes! Your grandfather and the others are in Beijing.” Xia Chun got up and tucked Jiang Xue in. “Have a good rest. We’ll go back to Beijing in a few days.”

Jiang Xue asked tentatively, “How’s grandfather’s family background? I … I’m just afraid that if grandfather’s family is not doing well, we’ll bring trouble to them if we go there.”

Xia Chun shook her head. “You don’t have to worry about this. Your grandfather has some a.s.sets in Beijing. He’s comparable to your father.”

Jiang Xue’s dim eyes lit up again. Sure enough, she was born to be rich.

Jiang Xue lay down in satisfaction and began to think about the beautiful future. In her dream, she dreamed that she had become a socialite in Beijing and married a man with great wealth and power. Shen Xi was at her feet, listening to her every command.

No one knew if Jiang Xue would be rich in the future. However, at this time, the news of Jiang Xue having an affair behind Xiang Cheng’s back had spread to everyone.

Zhao Yuan was gossiping with Shen Xi on her phone. “You said that Jiang Xue’s child isn’t Xiang Cheng’s? Then whose child is it? I heard that it’s been three months, so it happened during the summer break.”

“This is indeed a little hard to guess,” Shen Xi said with a smile.

After all, there were several people with Jiang Xue at that time. It was really difficult to guess which one was the father of the child.

Shen Xi did not sympathize with Jiang Xue at all. Since Jiang Xue had done so many evil things in her previous life, she would have to bear the consequences of her actions in this life.

“Hahaha, Xi, it’s your turn. Tell me, is it truth or dare?” Guan Lei pointed at Shen Xi and shouted.

At this time, they were playing a game of ‘Truth or Dare’. Whoever the mouth of the bottle turned to would be the loser. The loser could choose to answer the questions raised by the people on the field or choose to satisfy a request raised by the people on the field.

As the loser, Shen Xi looked at the excited Guan Lei and said nonchalantly, “Then I’ll choose the truth.”

Guan Lei was clearly a little disappointed with Shen Xi’s choice. He had wanted Shen Xi to choose dare so that he could be intimate openly with Shen Xi.

Perhaps he could be the hero who saved the damsel in distress and accept the punishment on Shen Xi’s behalf. That way, his image in Shen Xi’s heart would become much higher.

Unfortunately, Shen Xi did not go according to his plan.

“I’ll ask!” Li Jin, who had been quiet the entire night, suddenly spoke.

The other students gave him face and gave him the right to ask questions.

Li Jin revealed a gossipy expression and asked, “Xi, are you related to doctor Zheng Huai?”

Shen Xi did not expect Li Jin to ask this, but she answered honestly, “Yes, I’m related.”

By being cousins, aren’t they related?

Li Jin sneaked a glance at Guan Lei and saw that his face had indeed darkened. Li Jin then smiled in satisfaction and added fuel to the fire, “What’s your relations.h.i.+p?”

Shen Xi hurriedly said, “That’s the next question. I’m not answering it.”

Li Jin joked, “Oh! There’s a story behind it, but you’re still hiding it. Don’t tell me that you’re really in contact with doctor Zheng Huai?”

Li Jin’s question was very reserved. She did not directly ask if Shen Xi liked Zheng Huai. Because from her observation of Shen Xi, she did not seem to have anyone she liked yet.

However, in order to make Guan Lei give up on Shen Xi, Li Jin could only ask some easily misunderstood questions to drive a wedge between Guan Lei and Shen Xi.
