Chapter 1851 - The Duel Between Man and Dog
Chapter 1851: The Duel Between Man and Dog
After understanding about Grampy’s health condition, Wen Xinya was in a great mood as she took the health check report and decided to bring Cleopatra to look for Si Yiyan at Jiayuan.
She planned to tell the incident about Xia Ruya suffering an injustice to him.
Shared happiness was better than being happy alone.
Naturally, she had to share the joyful event of Xia Ruya being fooled by Cleopatra with someone.
She called Cao Zixing and informed him. “I won’t be going back to the office this afternoon. Everything can wait till I’m back.”
Wen Corporation was under control and there weren’t any urgent things to handle at the moment. Cao Zixing and Xue Yishan could manage on their own.
After hanging up, Wen Xinya patted Cleopatra, who was on the passenger seat. “Cleopatra, how about we go look for your Dad?”
Yup, Si Yiyan was Cleopatra’s Daddy, but she wouldn’t admit that she was Cleopatra’s Mummy.
Of course, she daren’t say this in front of Si Yiyan—it was just a joke between her and Cleopatra.
Cleopatra’s originally active head suddenly hung.
—sob sob sob sob!
When it saw its male owner, it wouldn’t be able to play happily with its female owner anymore.
Could we not go?
Unfortunately, Wen Xinya couldn’t understand Cleopatra’s depressing inner statement as she drove off towards Jiayuan Club.
Upon reaching Jiayuan, Wen Xinya happily dashed into Si Yiyan’s office with Cleopatra following behind her, wagging its tail. However, after it contacted its male owner’s threatening gaze, it found a space on the side of the sofa and obediently climbed onto it, looking sullen.
Si Yiyan retracted his gaze, placed the documents in his hands down, and looked at her. “What happened?”
If he remembered correctly, Old Mr. Mo’s health check report was out today. It seemed like there was good news.
A hint of a smile appeared on his face.
Wen Xinya ran to his side happily and sat on his thigh in a moment of excitement. “Yan, guess who I bumped into when I went to the hospital today?”
She smiled and blinked at Si Yiyan at the same time, looking adorable and excited.
“Who?”
Si Yiyan silently scanned through the potential candidates who could make Wen Xinya so excited in his mind—there was really no one. For a moment, he really couldn’t guess who it was.
Wen Xinya shook his arm and smiled happily. “It’s Xia Ruya—you’re so silly!”
Si Yiyan was silent. He really didn’t expect it to be Xia Ruya. It was already great that Xinya didn’t grit her teeth upon seeing Xia Ruya—she was actually so excited?
How strange.
Half a second later, seeing that she was in high spirits, he couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the good news?”
Did Xia Ruya contract some incurable disease?
However, that didn’t warrant such joy either?
“It’s more than good news!” Wen Xinya whipped out her phone enthusiastically and launched the video player. “Watch a good show!”
The phone played the scene of Cleopatra biting and chasing Xia Ruya just now.
The video was lengthy—a total of ten minutes long.
Si Yiyan saw that in the video, Xia Ruya looked all haggard and shocked as she screamed while getting taunted by Cleopatra, and finally understood Xinya’s excitement.
Xia Ruya was great at putting up an act—rarely could anything make her abandon her elegant appearance and hypocritically kind image. In the years of them pitting themselves against each other, this was probably the most haggard Xia Ruya had ever been.
“Hahahaha—” As she watched how Xia Ruya looked in the video, Wen Xinya couldn’t help but laugh so hard that tears flowed out of her eyes and her insides hurt. “It’s really too hilarious…”
“Unexpectedly, Cleopatra is still somewhat useful.”
Seeing how happy she was, as Si Yiyan watched the video, he couldn’t help but look mildly over at Cleopatra with a tinge of approval. In the years of the duel between man and dog, Si Yiyan felt the friendliest towards it today.
It knew how to protect its owner with loyalty and didn’t allow anyone to bully her.
Seemed like he had taught Cleopatra well over the years.
Upon contacting its male owner’s “gentle” gaze, Cleopatra instantly got excited. However, its male owner’s gaze froze right after that, making it not dare to act rashly as it laid down obediently.
Si Yiyan retracted his gaze in satisfaction. This dog finally knew what was best for it and didn’t waste his efforts on disciplining it over the years.
At this point, Wen Xinya was still indulging in the scene of Xia Ruya looking haggard and didn’t know that within that short instance, a duel had concluded between the man and dog.
Wen Xinya couldn’t stop laughing as she said, slightly out of breath, “I can’t—it’s killing me. I’ve definitely gotta save this video. In the future, whenever I’m upset, I’ll look back at this and will definitely feel much better.”
She tried her best to stop laughing, but once she recalled how Xia Ruya looked earlier today as she suffered the injustice, she couldn’t hold her laughter back.
Seeing this, Si Yiyan placed his hand on her stomach and gently massaged it—otherwise, she would later say that her tummy hurt.
“You didn’t see the look on Xia Ruya’s face as she tried her best to put on a tender and innocent look. However, probably because of her plastic surgery, she instead looked stiff and twisted—it was simply fabulously interesting.”
Xia Ruya’s looks were quite soft and weak, and she was great at pretending to be all pure and innocent—she had deceived one too many. In Wen Xinya’s previous lifetime, she had also been defeated by Xia Ruya’s pure and kind pretense and ended up miserably.
Pretense was one of Xia Ruya’s lethal weapons.
However, after she got disfigured from the car accident, although Xia Ruya’s looks after plastic surgery were even more refined, she had also lost this weapon.
Si Yiyan could imagine that scene. Changing the topic, he frowned and said, “Xia Ruya’s actions at the entrance of the hospital are rather strange. She doesn’t seem like someone who’ll become hysterical in public. Also, did you realize that Xia Ruya looked very frail in the video and moved sluggishly as she was being chased by Cleopatra—something could be wrong with her health.”
Xia Ruya was great at putting up an act. Regardless of how bad the situation was, she wouldn’t lose control of her emotions in public, shouting at Xinya loudly and even acting like a madwoman.
The fact that she appeared at the entrance of the hospital invited guesses.
Regarding this, Wen Xinya also had her suspicions. “I got Liu Yanhua to check on Xia Ruya’s purpose of going to the hospital. However, information showed that she just went to the hospital to look for a professor that she personally knew. This professor is a surgical specialist with a simple and spotless background. Nothing looks abnormal.”
She had been fighting Xia Ruya for many years. Naturally, her oddity would attract her attention.
After Xia Ruya left, she had gotten Liu Yanhua to check on Xia Ruya. As expected, they didn’t find anything. However, the fact that Xia Ruya was so secretive showed clearly that she had something to hide.
Si Yiyan said plainly, “The more we can’t find anything abnormal, the more something is wrong.”
There was definitely something wrong with Xia Ruya’s health.
The fact that they couldn’t find anything meant that it was definitely related to the Korean-Chinese Alliance.
