1385 Create Opportunities
Bian Duo clapped her hands excitedly and said, “This is a good thing! Since Xia Xing is so useless, why don’t you just marry that eldest son? It really doesn’t matter who you marry!”
“What are you saying! Xia Xing and I are about to get married. How can I be with Xia Wen!” Shao Yin said as she looked at Bian Duo in disbelief.
“Your mother is right! You are only about to get married, so that means it’s not official yet, right? Since you’re not officially married yet, then you can still try. He’s single and you’re not married yet. Isn’t this a match made in heaven?” Shao Zhuang said agitatedly.
This was really a whole new interpretation of the phrase “a match made in heaven”…
“But… but how do I get close to Xia Wen? He doesn’t even want to see me now. Even if I want to, I don’t stand any chance,” Shao Yin said while blushing.
“Silly child! Opportunities can always be created! Since Xia Xing is useless, then let’s find someone else. We’ve already endured the experience of staying in this lousy guest house. You must think of a way to be with Xia Wen! Do you understand?” Shao Zhuang said.
Shao Yin nodded shyly. Since her parents had already told her to go ahead, why would she still need to hesitate? However, she did not know how to get close to Xia Wen. If there was really no other way, she would go to Qiao Mei’s house and wait at the main door every day and night. At some point, she would bump into Xia Wen when he went to visit the children.
“My daughter, even as you try to get close to Xia Wen, you have to consider Xia Xing’s feelings. In the event that Xia Wen is too stubborn to accept you, then you won’t find yourself being disadvantaged! Don’t throw away the apple in your hand before you harvest the watermelon. If you lose both the watermelon and the apple, that would be a massive loss!” Bian Duo said.
“I’ll remember that. I won’t let you down,” Shao Yin said firmly.
“Alright, you’d better go back now. There’s no need for your elder sister to go with you. It’s useless for her to be there anyway. She’ll stay here with us,” Shao Zhuang said impatiently.
Shao Yin took a long glance at Shao Le in the corner and then quietly ran out of the guest house. She did not go home immediately but walked towards Xia Wen’s workplace. Xia Xing had mentioned the address to her before and she found the place by asking for directions.
“This place is so imposing…” Shao Yin stood at the entrance of Xia Wen’s workplace in a daze.
Xia Wen’s office was at the government headquarters in the capital. The main entrance naturally looked more grandiose and was much bigger than those district government office buildings.
Shao Yin carefully memorized all the decorative details on the main door. She wanted to describe it to Shao Chun and the others about it next time! She must make them feel envious of her. Still deep in thought, Shao Yin walked towards the entrance to enter the building. When the security officers saw that, they immediately stopped her.
“Who are you! How can you come in as you wish!” the security officer said.
“Oh! Do I need to register? I’m Xia Wen’s family member and I’m here to see him,” Shao Yin said instinctively.
When she went to Xu Lan’s house the last time, she had to register at the main gate. At first, she thought that it was such a troublesome thing. However, now that she thought about it, this was actually a status symbol. Only powerful people would need to have such a cumbersome registration method at the place they lived. Seeing it this way, Shao Yin did not find it troublesome anymore. Instead, she felt that it was a symbol of glory.
“This is not a building where you can enter just by registering. Come with me.” The security officer brought Shao Yin to the security booth and left her outside the door. He knew what Xia Wen’s wife looked like and this woman was definitely not his wife. This person was behaving so sneakily at the main door just now. There must be something fishy going on!
The security officer made a call to Xia Wen’s secretary and said, “Report, there’s a woman at the door who says that she’s Director Xia’s family member. I’m calling to check if you’re expecting anyone.”
“Family member? Director Xia is in a meeting now. He has instructed that he will not see anyone, including people from his family. Please ask her to go back. It’s not a convenient time now,” Xia Wen’s secretary said.
“Alright, I understand.” The security officer hung up the phone and turned to Shao Yin. “I’m sorry, Director Xia is not free. You may wish to come again another day.”
At the Xia family residence, he had found all kinds of reasons to avoid her. Now that she was at his workplace, he was not free. Could it be that she had really done something unforgivable and made him angry?
Shao Yin wanted to barge in, but when she saw that there were another two people in police uniforms inside the security booth, she hesitated. If they arrested her and put her in the detention center, she did not know what Shao Chun and the others would say about her when they found out!
It was better to play safe. If she could not achieve her goal today, she could come back another day!
