Chapter 617: 345 Eliminating Disasters for the Xia Family! _2
Xia Yuzheng was taken aback; he knew Qiao Yufen had sent her, but he hadn’t expected her to be introducing the young master of the Hu Family to her.
Seeing his expression, Xia Yourong understood and said, "You also think the Hu Family’s conditions are average, right? But since it’s grandma’s arrangement, I’ll just obey."
Xia Yuzheng didn’t reply.
He certainly didn’t think the Hu Family’s conditions were average; on the contrary, he thought Xia Yourong’s character was lacking and she simply wasn’t good enough for them.
Xia Yourong glanced at Xia Ye and asked with sour jealousy, "How have you been doing with Uncle Jiang recently? It must be tough being the future daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, huh?"
At her words, Xia Yuzheng frowned, about to stand up for Xia Ye, when he heard his daughter’s casual voice rise, "Indeed, it’s bothersome, Uncle Jiang... he’s just too clingy~"
Xia Yourong’s face, which was filled with schadenfreude, immediately froze.
As the three were talking, a commotion started at the entrance hall.
"Ah, is this Mr. Huang? What a pleasure to meet you."
"Mr. Huang, please don’t be modest; in front of you, we’re all just elementary students."
"Mr. Xia has told us how well you take care of sensitive flowers like Hongyan, no wonder your farm and garden are growing more and more."
"Please come in, Mr. Xia is inside as well, he’s been waiting for you for a long time..."
Hearing that the farm owner had arrived, Xia Yuzheng lost all other thoughts and hurried to the entrance hall with Xia Ye.
Meanwhile, the other party was also coming inside, and the two groups met in the lobby.
Old Han and Old Hu quickly greeted Xia Yuzheng: "Mr. Xia, look, this is Mr. Huang that we have all been longing to meet." freewebnøvel.coɱ
Xia Yuzheng looked over with a smile on his face, but in the next second, his expression solidified, emotions of disbelief surrounding his eyebrows, quickly turning into joy.
Even though it had been nearly 20 years since they’d separated and both had changed a great deal, Xia Yuzheng still recognized Huang Qishan at first sight. His lips trembled, and his deep eyes instantly filled with blood vessels.
The shock on Xia Yourong’s face wasn’t small, either; how could she have known that the shabby farmer she met outside was the illustrious Mr. Huang?
Stepping forward, Xia Yuzheng took Huang Qishan’s hand, his voice nearly inaudible, "Huang Qishan, you, you really made me search so hard for you!"
Even with mental preparation, Huang Qishan couldn’t hold back. Ashamed, he hung his head, tears fell on the back of his hand, burning as if they were fresh.
During his years as the steward of the Xia Family, he had come to regard the Xia Family as his own home. He had sworn to give his all to protect Mr. Xia, the young master, and the young ladies for life, but who would have known what happened later...
The bystanders thought Xia Yuzheng’s excitement was due to finally inviting Mr. Huang to the Botanical Association, but Mr. Huang’s reaction was definitely not right.
Everyone looked at each other, somewhat confused, wanting the parties involved to explain the situation, but the two men were completely immersed in their own world.
"Uncle Huang," it was not until Xia Ye spoke that Huang Qishan snapped out of his mixed emotions. He had heard on the news before that the Xia Family’s daughter, who had been lost for 14 years, had finally returned home. Although he resisted contacting Mr. Xia then, he couldn’t contain his excitement and had celebrated with the farmworkers.
His gaze towards Xia Ye flickered with light, and his voice shook, "Miss... you’ve finally come back... The Madame must be overjoyed, with you back, she can finally sleep peacefully..."
This respectful and humble tone reminded Old Han of something, and after examining Huang Qishan for a while, he suddenly realized: "Ah, aren’t you Mr. Huang who was the former steward of the Xia Family..."
The more Xia Yourong listened, the more confused she became. What was the farmer’s relationship with the Xia Family?
"My mom has been much better recently; she misses you," Xia Ye replied with a smile, her warm tone the same as before, moving Huang Qishan profoundly.
Xia Yourong couldn’t stand their secretive conversation and being left out, so she reached out to pull Xia Ye, "Who on earth is he?"
Before she could touch Xia Ye’s arm, someone gripped her shoulder and pushed her back.
Turning around, she met Huang Qishan’s stern gaze.
He spoke slowly, with significant meaning, "Yourong, I am the former steward of the Xia Family."
Others didn’t understand the profound meaning behind these words, but Xia Yourong did.
She felt as if rooted to the spot, unable to move.
Huang Qishan was the former steward of the Xia Family... didn’t that mean he was her biological father?
It didn’t look right for a group of people to be standing there stunned in the lobby, and Old Han quickly interjected: "What a fateful reunion, since Mr. Huang knows Mr. Xia from way back, then later you must give us a good introduction to the rare treasures of your garden. Let’s not stand here anymore; let’s go inside..."
