Don’t underestimate what missing just two meals can do.
Xia Yiwei was starving.
But she had already made her stance clear—how could she back down so easily?
If she gave in, it would only end up hurting Little Linyu.
She hadn’t expected that, in her moment of “crisis,” Xia Xiashan would be the one to lend her a hand.
“You actually came to help me?”
“Don’t you usually love watching me make a fool of myself?”
That was what Xia Yiwei said, but she still obediently stepped farther back to make room for her sister to come in.
Xia Xiashan stuffed the food into her younger sister’s hands and shook her head helplessly.
“That’s just what you think. I’ve never seen it that way.”
“The noodles should be ready by now. Eat first. We can talk while you eat.”
Xia Xiashan closed the door behind her, making sure no one saw her enter.
Still trying to act tough, Xia Yiwei asked,
“You brought this in... so does that mean the old man—”
Xia Xiashan knew what her sister wanted to ask.
Nothing more than whether their father knew about this.
If he did, then with her sister’s temperament, she would probably grit her teeth and refuse to eat anyway.
She had been like that since childhood. She always seemed easygoing enough on the surface.
But whenever it came to something she had set her mind on, no one could talk her out of it.
Her decision to become a nurse had been exactly the same.
With the Xia family’s wealth and influence,
Weiwei should have had far more—and far better—options.
“Don’t worry. Dad doesn’t know.”
“If he did, do you think he’d send you instant noodles?”
“That man may seem stubborn and tough on the outside,”
“but you know as well as I do that you’re the one he dotes on most.”
As she spoke, Xia Xiashan took a seat in the chair.
She hadn’t come merely to drop off a meal and leave.
Things had reached this point.
They needed a proper solution.
Weiwei’s hunger strike had only managed to suppress their father’s anger for the time being.
Once his temper cooled, he would still go after Lin Yu.
What kind of person was he?
Just look at what had happened to Lei Siren two days ago.
When it came to family matters, he had never been one to let things slide.
Of course,
all of that would have to wait until the person in front of her finished wolfing down her food.
Before she was done eating, she probably wouldn’t listen to a single word Xia Xiashan had to say.
...
“Slurp... slurp, slurp...”
In all her life, Xia Yiwei had never thought instant noodles with a sausage could taste this good.
In barely three or four minutes,
there was nothing left in the paper cup but broth and a few scraps of noodles.
Still wanting more, Xia Yiwei gulped down a couple more mouthfuls before finally pulling out a tissue and wiping her mouth in satisfaction.
“Sis, there’s one thing you got wrong...”
“The person who loves me most in this family isn’t Dad. It’s you!”
“Thank you, my wonderful sister, for pulling me out of trouble when I was down.”
“From now on, if you ever run into any trouble, I’ll be the first one there.”
“Want me to swear an oath?”
The moment Xia Yiwei had been fed, she immediately showed her true colors.
Not a single serious word came out of her mouth.
Xia Xiashan quickly raised a hand, signaling for her to stop.
“Cut the pointless nonsense. You know I don’t want to hear it.”
“Get to the important part. You don’t want Dad finding out that I came to see you, do you?”
“Talk while he still hasn’t noticed.”
Xia Yiwei: “...”
It was precisely because she didn’t want to discuss the important part
that she had deliberately tried to joke her way around it.
“The important part...”
“I’m still thinking about how to deal with it!”
Xia Xiashan mercilessly exposed her:
“You call that thinking? You simply have no idea how to get yourself out of this.”
“You never think about the consequences before acting. You’ve been like this all these years.”
“You think I don’t really know you?”
