Chapter 40 - "This is some information that I was able to gather." (1)

The father and daughter duo took off.

Lin Xi sat quietly next to Gu Shao.

Had she not been glancing over at Gu Shao from time to time, she'd look like a statue paused in animation.

Gu Shao looked over at Lin Xi out of the corner of his eye. "Your nervous?"

Lin Xi shook her head. "No."

"It's just that. I have a question..." Having said that, Lin Xi has some hesitation.

"What is it?"

"You and my mom, um, I am talking about Miss Song Kexin. How did it all happen?" Lin Xi asked in a low voice.

If Gu Shao knew about the Lin family, he must have found out about what happened back in the days as well. All she wanted to know what how bad was the incident between Gu Shao and Song Kexin and whether there was still wiggle room between the male and female leads and the cannon fodder for discussion or de-escalation.

Gu Shao, however, interpreted her words very differently.

His look froze on him and the corners of his eyes twitched visibly.

Under what circumstances would a man and a woman conceive a child?

Gu Shao's face dropped. He gave Lin Xi a solemn look and said, "You are still a child. This is not something that you need to worry about."

Besides, he was unconscious the entire time and had no idea what really had happened.

All Gu Shao was aware of was the outcome of the incident – the existence of Lin Xi.

See how solemn Gu Shao looked, Lin Xi took that as it was a bad "accident". She shut her mouth, feeling slightly awkward, and dared not ask any further. She started contemplating how to deflect Lin Yize's revenge on Gu Shao.

It was quiet inside the car and they quickly arrived at the Lin's mansion – the place that was very familiar to Lin Xi.

Gu Shao looked down at Lin Xi next to him. When he saw her grabbing tightly onto the seatbelt looking like she was faced with something dire, his eyes flickered.

"Wait for me in the car." Having said that, Gu Shao planned to have Lin Xi wait in the car for him while he went to talk Lin Xi's birth mother and adoptive father about the transferring of her household register.

There was no way that Lin Xi would agree to that. She quickly jumped out of the car after Gu Shao and insisted, "I will go with you!"

Gu Shao looked away. Either way was fine with him. "Let's go then."

The security guard in the front showed them to the front of the mansion.

Xu Jiaofeng was the first to walk out.

When she saw Gu Shao, then Lin Xi behind him, she looked extremely unhappy.

"You ungrateful white-eyed wolf, vile thing! The Lin family had raised you all these years. We failed to teach you how to be grateful but this is how you repay us?" Xu Jiaofeng was frantic and she started yelling at Lin Xi immediately.

Part of the reason she agreed to Zhang Cui's suggestion of sending Lin Xi over to the Zhang Village was so there would be less drama at home.

Had the person who claimed to be this Boss Gu's assistant didn't call yesterday and informed them that Boss Gu would like to visit them and briefly told them the reason of the visit, they would still have no idea that Lin Xi had long since ran off from Zhang Qiang's place.

AND located her birth father to top.

After receiving the phone call, everybody was so angry and shock that nobody really thought about how Lin Xi was able to eavesdrop on their conversation, learned about where she came from, and able to connect with her birth father. All they could think of was how much of a trouble she was.

Then there was that Zhang Cui. She couldn't even find a man reliable enough to keep an eye out on a child.

Nevertheless, now that Lin Xi had already found out about where she was from, she no longer needed to put up the front.

Xu Jiaofeng stood there, stuck up, and looked at Lin Xi coldly. She did not bother hiding the dissatisfaction and hatred in her eyes.

"I knew you are one that could not be tamed. What else could you do other than bringing about troubles?" She couldn't have just stayed quietly in the village? She had to bring her birth father all the way here for more drama?

Xu Jiaofeng couldn't even begin to image how much the Lin family's reputation would be tarnished if any little bit of this entire incident was leaked.
