Chapter 9 Control
Chapter 9 Control
Around 8 PM.
Xia Xue was like a child who had received a new toy. Using her hacking skills, she accessed many websites and servers she had never visited before, and saw a lot of information she had never seen before. It was truly an eye-opener for her.
Just then, her phone rang.
Xia Xue glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Fang Rou. She quickly exited the website, cleared the page, and then answered the phone.
"Xiaoxue, how are you?"
Xia Xue thought for a moment and replied, "It seems to be true, not a scam."
Fang Rou was speechless for a moment.
"Of course I know it's true. Xia Yao, she's the beauty of Jiangcheng! How could she be a fraudster?"
Xia Xue couldn't help but laugh, "What 'Flower of Jiangcheng'? What kind of lame title is that? Where did you hear that from?"
Fang Rou said in a serious tone, "The title may be old, but it carries authority. It is recognized by the entire Jiangcheng high society as the most promising daughter of a wealthy family. Only she can receive such an honor."
Fang Rou's tone suddenly turned serious.
"As for where I heard it from, well, I guess it was from the gold coins that Old Deng gave me."
Fang Rou's father is the finance director of a company with a market value of over 100 million yuan. He is considered a middle to senior manager in the company and has barely squeezed into the circle of high society.
It's understandable that they would know some of the unspoken gossip about high society.
Fang Rou paused for a moment, then asked with concern, "How are you? Are they treating you well? It's not like in that short drama about the real and fake heiresses, where they're all making things difficult for you, is it? Especially Xia Yao. Hmm, if she treats you as an enemy, Xiao Xue, can you handle it? Or, why don't you just surrender, ask for some money, and we can just separate and live independently?"
What is all this about?
Xia Xue was speechless for a moment.
"I'll watch less of those mindless short dramas in the future. My father and mother are very good to me, and Xia Jue and Xia Yao are also quite nice to me. I don't have any of those melodramatic plots in those short dramas here."
Xia Xue suddenly realized something as she spoke.
That's not right.
This is a female-oriented world.
There are leading ladies everywhere, and movies and TV shows everywhere; there should be a lot of melodramatic plots.
Her situation is so normal that it's almost abnormal.
and many more.
The work is titled "Fake Heiress, Why Don't You Play by the Rules?" Is it because this work is different from the common practice of real and fake heiresses that it seems so normal?
Well, very likely.
Who is Xia Jue?
Fang Rou asked curiously.
"My eldest sister."
Fang Rou exclaimed in surprise, "What? The Xia family has another eldest daughter? But why didn't my dad mention it? I asked so many questions, my dad shouldn't have missed such important information."
Xia Xue thought for a moment and said, "Xia Jue's situation is rather special. She is an adopted daughter of the family. She has only recently retired from the military and has never appeared in the circles of the wealthy. It is normal that your uncle does not know about her."
It's estimated that only people within the true elite circles would know about Xia Jue's existence.
People like Fang Rou's father, who barely managed to squeeze into high society, would probably never come into contact with the real elite circles in their entire lives unless by some extraordinary chance, and would never know these secrets of the elite.
Fang Rou sighed after hearing this.
"As expected of a wealthy family, it's really complicated."
Xia Xue knew immediately that Fang Rou had already conjured up a long, melodramatic soap opera about the ethics of a wealthy family.
The two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.
Xia Xue gently twirled the black card Xia Jun had given her, which had a monthly limit of one million yuan. The thought in her heart grew stronger and stronger.
"We still need to make some preparations."
The money is in place, but the people aren't.
The relationship wasn't right either.
However, given her current status, these shouldn't be problems.
Just then, the phone rang again.
Xia Xue looked up and saw it was Xia Yun calling.
"What's he calling for?"
Xia Xue narrowed her eyes slightly.
I had a guess in my mind.
Answer the call, turn on the recording, then turn on speakerphone. Hold the phone flat in front of you with your palm facing up and your fingertips supporting it.
"Hello, is this Xiaoxue?"
Xia Xue gave a soft "hmm".
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone before someone finally spoke: "Your mother and I know about your illness. I'm sorry."
Xia Xue took a deep breath and hummed in response.
"Dad knows that I neglected you before, and Mom also... But Dad still hopes that you can keep your illness a secret and not tell anyone. Once your biological parents find out... you know the consequences of mental illness... Sigh, Dad knows that you will be very upset, but telling anyone will only cause more trouble... Xiaoxue, Dad is doing this for your own good."
Xia Xue gave a light scoff.
"Are you worried that the Xia family will cause you trouble if they find out?"
Xia Xue's heart stirred.
He placed the phone on the table, turned on the computer, and hacked into Xia Yun's phone.
Xia Yun's voice rang out again.
"How could that be? Mom and Dad did something wrong, and they will naturally be punished. However, we can suffer, but we can't let you be implicated."
Xia Xue looked at the information she found on the computer and scoffed.
"Are you planning to test my attitude first, and then, once you're sure I won't talk about my depression, turn the tables and blackmail me?"
Xia Yun, on the other end of the phone, paused for a moment, then chuckled twice and said, "How could that be, Xiaoxue? Why do you miss your father so much?"
As Xia Xue looked at the increasing amount of data on her computer, the anger in her eyes grew stronger.
"I was wondering why Shen Wanyi was so strict with her daughter. It turns out you cheated on her. She can't rely on you, and she can't stand on her own two feet, so she can only rely on her daughter. Haha, so the source of all this is you, Xia Yun."
Xia Yun was shocked to hear this.
How did Xia Xue find out about this?
"Xiaoxue, what are you saying? Daddy doesn't understand."
Xia Xue continued, "What, you're in a powerless government office, can't make any money, so you're trying to extort some from me to support your illegitimate child?"
Xia Yun's expression changed drastically.
"How...how did you know?"
This was his deepest secret, how did Xia Xue know it so clearly?
Xia Xue slammed her laptop shut.
"What, you want to use the diary as evidence to blackmail me? Heh, Xia Yun, did you ever consider that since I dared to leave the diary behind, I was sure it wouldn't become a handle against me?"
Xia Yun said incredulously, "How is this possible? Aren't you afraid your biological parents will find out about your mental illness?"
Even if the worst happens.
With her skills, which mental hospital could possibly keep her in there?
Xia Xue gave a cold laugh.
"If you can find out, do you think the Xia family can't? If you can draw a conclusion, do you think the Xia family can? They already knew, yet they still chose to acknowledge me. What do you think is the reason? Ha, Xia Yun, you don't really think you can control me with this, do you?"
Xia Yun swallowed subconsciously, realizing for the first time that the daughter he had raised for eighteen years was so unfamiliar and so terrifying.
