Chapter 184: 180 You dare to stir up trouble under Tai Sui’s watch?

Principal Zou’s composed gaze flickered.

"Ah? Another pot?"

Principal Zou could stay cool in any situation, but his heart leaped uncontrollably whenever it came to these flowers and plants.

At his age, it was his one true passion.

Hearing Xia Yourong’s words, he couldn’t help but look up at her, his eyes filled with appreciation.

It was sheer luck to procure even one pot of that rare plant, yet she managed to get another? frёeωebɳovel.com

Xia Yourong easily caught the change in his emotions, her lips curving upward gently, "Yes, this pot is even more beautiful. You’ll definitely love it when you see it."

"That said..." Principal Zou tried to suppress his excitement to maintain his image, "Xiaorong, if it’s convenient for you, you could bring it over for the principal to see... but I can’t accept it. Such a precious thing, I would just appreciate it and then you should take it back to your dad."

He seemed to understand why Xia Yourong would bring up such a topic at this time. Even with his fondness, he knew he shouldn’t compromise his principles. After pausing for a few seconds, he added, "Also, I must emphasize again that the rumor about the guaranteed admission spot is just that, a rumor. Not to mention our No.3 Middle School, even First Middle School doesn’t have such a spot. So, you shouldn’t get your hopes up about that."

Xia Yourong was confident that he was just putting on airs because he hadn’t seen the flower yet.

She had seen those flowers, and any one pot from the three would make Principal Zou’s jaw drop onto the table if he saw them.

So Xia Yourong didn’t bother explaining. She replied dutifully and understandingly, "Don’t worry, Principal Zou, I understand what you are saying. Truthfully, my dad insisted that I give this flower to you. A beautiful flower should be cared for by someone who appreciates it, so please don’t hesitate to accept it..."

After all, there were so many pots on Xia Ye’s windowsill, missing one wouldn’t matter.

Another Saturday arrived in the blink of an eye.

Xia Yuzheng went to the company early in the morning and returned home beaming with joy at 11 a.m.

Mrs. Wu could tell at a glance that something good had happened and respectfully reached out to take his coat, "Mr. Xia, what has made you so happy?"

But Xia Yuzheng had no intention of taking off his coat. He had just come back to pick up his wife and daughter; they were going out again soon.

He gestured to Mrs. Wu with his hand, not replying to her question, and without changing his shoes, he walked into the house with a smile.

"Xiaohe, Yeye, hurry and get ready, we are going out for lunch!"

Xia Ye came out of the inner room first, glanced at her father, and leisurely went to the fridge to grab a bottle of mineral water, twisting it open to drink, "Did we win the bid?"

A spark of surprise flashed through Xia Yuzheng’s eyes, "You little thing are really smart. How did you guess that?"

Xia Ye: ...

How could she not notice? That excited look on his face was as if the words ’won the bid’ were etched across it.

That morning, he had sent his secretary to inquire with the bid evaluators ahead of time, and the news was better than hoped – Xia Family had indeed won the bid!

This meant that the company’s core project for the year was secured.

If executed well, Xia Family might rely on this project to enhance their reputation for years to come!

Seeing Xia Yuzheng heading toward the main house, Xia Ye stepped aside to remind him, "Mom is resting, she might be asleep."

Xia Yuzheng adjusted his tie, "It’s fine, let dad go and give her a kiss to wake her up!"

Xia Ye: ......

Now she understood why she had four older brothers...

These two really did have a great relationship...

A few minutes later, Xu He came out looking slightly disgusted, but when she saw her Little Tiangao, her lips curved into a smile.

"Little Tiangao, go get ready too. Your dad insists on taking us out to eat."

Xia Yuzheng: "Dad has already booked a table at Godear, you both love their food, don’t you?"

Xia Ye hadn’t been there for a while and nodded: "Okay."

Not long after the family of three left the villa, the landline in the living room rang.

Housekeeper Wu answered the call: "Hello, this is the Xia Family."

"Housekeeper Wu, it’s me~"

Housekeeper Wu paused, then smiled: "Oh, it’s Miss, but your timing isn’t the best. The master has just taken the madam and the second young miss out for dinner..."

Xia Yourong chuckled lightly. She was not upset but seemed quite pleased to hear that the three of them went out without her.

She had heard that it was this Saturday that the results of Dad’s bid would come out, so she had specifically called to ask.

Turns out, just as she had anticipated, Dad won the bid, and even took those two who were in the way out for dinner.

This opportunity was truly a gift from heaven.

Xia Yourong: "By the way, Housekeeper Wu, my second brother isn’t at home either, is he?"

Housekeeper Wu couldn’t tell if she wanted to see the second young master or hoped he wasn’t home: "The second young master went to the club early in the morning and probably won’t be back until night. If you are looking for him, I can call you when he gets back in the evening..."

Xia Yourong’s laughter was sweet: "There’s no need, Housekeeper Wu. I’m not looking for my second brother. I just need to get some things from the villa. The college entrance exams are coming up, and I want to pick up some review materials from before. I’ll be home shortly; just leave the door unlocked for me."

Housekeeper Wu hesitated: "Oh... okay..."

Why did the young miss have to specifically ask if the second young master was around before she came home to get things?

In about half an hour, Xia Yourong arrived.

She carried a rather large black backpack on her back.

She nodded to Housekeeper Wu and hurried toward the inner rooms.

At first, seeing Housekeeper Wu following her, she entered her own room. Before closing the door, she told Housekeeper Wu: "You don’t need to wait here for me. Go do your things. I might take some time to pick out a few review books."

Housekeeper Wu hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "Okay then, Miss. Call me anytime if you need anything."

Xia Yourong stayed in the room for a while, and it wasn’t until she made some noise near the bookshelf that she heard Housekeeper Wu’s footsteps fading away from the door.

Xia Yourong snorted coldly, surprised at how quickly Housekeeper Wu had "betrayed" her, guarding against her as if she were a thief.

Once the outside was quiet again, she tiptoed to open her door and, not seeing Housekeeper Wu in the corridor, she stealthily moved to Xia Ye’s room door.

In the Xia Family, neither Xu He, Xia Yuzheng, nor the brothers would casually enter Xia Ye’s room.

The servants knew their boundaries as well. When Xia Ye said her room didn’t need to be cleaned, they obediently complied.

So Xia Ye usually didn’t lock her door.

Xia Yourong took a surreptitious look around, ensuring no one else was present, then turned the doorknob and crept in.

On the windowsill, four potted plants radiated a brilliant light as if from another world...

Meanwhile, at Godear.

The table was just set with a full spread of dishes. Xia Ye’s sharp little white teeth tore off the crispy skin from a chicken leg.

Just as she was about to savor the meal, a subtle flicker danced in the deep ocean blue of her eye.

The next second, Xia Ye’s eyebrows furrowed deeply.

Her beloved Tiangao was in danger!
