Chapter 52 - Speechless

As soon as the words fell, Si Shenxing's face suddenly darkened, like the calm before the storm. Huo Gang and A Mai looked playful, as if they were watching a farce. The sun did not rise from the west today, how could any cat or dog dare to provoke their young master? "It seems that Young Master Bai's ears are not very sharp." Si Shenxing's voice was as cold as ice, without a trace of emotion. Before the voice fell, Huo Gang appeared on the right side of Bai Niancheng like a ghost, and raised his hand to slap him loudly. The crisp slap echoed in the air, and Bai Niancheng only felt a buzzing in his ears and a burning pain on his cheeks. Si Shenxing slowly stepped forward, with a smile on his lips, "Young Master Bai's ears are better now?" Bai Niancheng opened his mouth, but couldn't spit out a word for a long time. He suddenly realized something and looked at Xia Zhuozhuo for help. However, Xia Zhuozhuo just glanced at him coldly, as if she was tainted by his gaze. "Please help me throw this trash out." Si Shenxing's voice was calm and firm, and there was no doubt about it. "Yes! Miss Divine Doctor!" Huo Gang replied, even without A Mai's help, and directly dragged Bai Niancheng to the gate of the manor. "Let me go..." Bai Niancheng tried to struggle, but it was in vain. Huo Gang raised his knife and chopped his neck accurately, and Bai Niancheng fainted instantly. The world finally returned to peace. A Mai saw that Si Shenxing had something to say to Xia Zhuozhuo, and tactfully found an excuse to drag Bai Niancheng out of the gate with Huo Gang. "Where to throw this kid?" Huo Gang asked. A Mai looked at the unconscious Bai Niancheng with disgust, "Throw him back to where he came from. Who dares to snatch people from our young master!" "Well, I'll beat him up first, and then throw him to the door of Bai Jiyong's house." Huo Gang said viciously. "Remember to drag him away before beating him, don't dirty Miss Xia's door." A Mai added. As for Xia Zhuozhuo, she didn't dare to look directly into Si Shenxing's eyes because she felt guilty. She coughed dryly, barely squeezed out a sentence "Thank you for your help", and turned to leave. , Si Shenxing suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist tightly, "Miss Qi, don't you have anything to say to me?" Xia Zhuozhuo's hand was held tightly by Si Shenxing, unable to break free. She gritted her teeth to meet his gaze. Si Shenxing looked particularly handsome in the moonlight, but she had no time to appreciate it at the moment. She just wanted to escape from this embarrassing situation. "Don't lie easily, it will be embarrassing when you are exposed." She silently warned herself in her heart. She coughed dryly again, trying to change the subject, "Don't you already know my identity?" "Miss Qi concealed her background just to make me cancel the engagement?" Si Shenxing's voice was a little unhappy. Xia Zhuozhuo frowned slightly, "What do you mean by tricking you into breaking off the engagement? Didn't Master Si originally plan to come to my house to break off the engagement?" Si Shenxing was stunned and said subconsciously: "I didn't know you were the seventh lady of the Xia family." Xia Zhuozhuo couldn't help but feel a little funny. She pulled back her hand and said coldly: "What? You didn't break off the engagement when you knew I was the seventh lady of the Xia family? Master Si may have forgotten that your girlfriend is still waiting for you to go back." Si Shenxing was even more confused, "What girlfriend?" Xia Zhuozhuo felt even more disgusted with his ignorance, "All men in the world are the same." She stared at Si Shenxing's eyes expressionlessly, "Does Master Si like to pretend to be single so much?" Si Shenxing looked innocent, "I'm single anyway, do I need to pretend?" Xia Zhuozhuo was about to refute, but Xia Liu's shout suddenly came from not far away, "Zhuozhuo? Is that you?" Xia Zhuozhuo's words were interrupted, and she waved in the direction of Xia Liu. Soon, Xia Liu ran over. "Zhuozhuo, we are looking for you. Mom wants to formally introduce you to everyone." Xia Liu said breathlessly. Xia Zhuozhuo nodded and was about to say something, but noticed Si Shenxing behind Xia Liu. He was dressed in black and had a strong aura, so he didn't notice his existence just now. Seeing Si Shenxing, Xia Liu was stunned and asked unexpectedly: "Why is Master Si here?" Si Shenxing glanced at Xia Zhuozhuo and smiled indifferently, "I came out to get some fresh air, but I got lost. Fortunately, I met Miss Seven." While speaking, he deliberately emphasized the tone of the three words "Miss Seven". Xia Zhuozhuo's back stiffened, and he said to Xia Liu: "Mom is looking for me?" "Well, the guests are almost all here, it's time to introduce you to everyone." Xia Liu nodded. "Okay, let's go back." Xia Zhuozhuo said, and walked into the villa. Xia Liu also turned to Si Shenxing and said, "Master Si, please follow me. I'll lead the way." Si Shenxing nodded slightly and followed the two back to the villa. As soon as they entered the villa, Xia Huaixing came up to them, "Zhuozhuo, I finally found you. Where did you go just now?" "It's a bit stuffy inside. I went out to get some fresh air." Xia Zhuozhuo answered casually. "Do you feel better now?" Xia Huaixing asked with concern. "Yeah." Xia Zhuozhuo simply responded. "That's good. Then you can go to your mother." Xia Huaixing said, and turned and left. Xia Zhuozhuo responded, without looking at Si Shenxing again, and walked straight to Mrs. Xia. The two brothers followed. Xia Huaixing noticed that Si Shenxing had come with them, and couldn't help but lower his voice to ask Xia Liu, "Why is Master Si here too?" "Lost?" Xia Liu repeated the word, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He subconsciously glanced at Si Shenxing, and happened to meet Si Shenxing's eyes. When their eyes met, Xia Huaixing felt a strong aura coming towards him. He laughed dryly and nodded gently to Si Shenxing. Si Shenxing also nodded and retracted his gaze. Xia Huaixing felt even more strange in his heart. Such a person did not look like a person with a poor sense of direction. However, he soon stopped thinking about it and focused on business. Over there, Mrs. Xia had already pulled Xia Zhuozhuo to the middle of the hall. A small platform was temporarily built in the middle of the hall, with a microphone on it. Mrs. Xia took the microphone, exchanged a few simple greetings, and then began to introduce Xia Zhuozhuo. "Zhuozhuo is my precious daughter who was born after ten months of pregnancy, but I didn't expect that when she was three years old, we accidentally lost her..." At this point, Mrs. Xia's voice was a little choked. Xia Zhuozhuo gently patted Mrs. Xia on the back to comfort her. Mrs. Xia adjusted her mood and continued, "Fortunately, God still has pity on me and finally let me find her back... I don't know how many years I have been looking forward to today's welcoming banquet. Today, I can finally proudly introduce my daughter to everyone." After the voice fell, the whole audience burst into warm applause. Xia Zhuozhuo stood on the stage, smiling and accepting everyone's blessings. However, she felt mixed emotions in her heart. She looked in the direction of Si Shenxing, only to see him standing there quietly, with deep and complex eyes. Xia Zhuozhuo knew that the problem between them was far from being solved. But at this moment, she just wanted to enjoy this rare tranquility and joy. She took a deep breath, tried to relax herself as much as possible, and then smiled and waved to the guests in the audience. Si Shenxing stood there quietly, his eyes never leaving Xia Zhuozhuo. His heart was also surging with complex emotions. He didn't expect that Xia Zhuozhuo would be the seventh lady of the Xia family. He didn't expect that there would be so many misunderstandings and entanglements between them. He knew that he had to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Xia Zhuozhuo. Make everything clear and then make a decision. Whether to continue the engagement or choose to let go, he must give himself and Xia Zhuozhuo an explanation. However, at this moment, he could only stand there quietly, watching Xia Zhuozhuo shine with her own light on the stage. His heart was full of contradictions and struggles, but he knew that all this would eventually come to an end. I just don't know when that end will come and in what way. I finally got what I wanted. Xiaoqi, from now on, we mother and daughter will be closely dependent on each other and never separate!" Xia Zhuozhuo promised firmly with tears in her eyes. The applause from the audience was like a tide, but mixed with complicated thoughts. Everyone was paying attention to Si Shenxing's every move. He raised his hand gently, and the applause was instantly warm. Everyone followed suit, as if competing. As the dinner came to an end, Si Shenxing quietly walked towards Mrs. Xia, and everything was self-evident.
