Chapter 244 Fated to Meet but Not to Be Together (Part 2)

Hehe! Father, you must be very happy to see that Mu Long and I have separated, right? You always didn't want me to be with him!

Now that you see we've broken up, will you stop trying to ruin Longsheng Street, which Mu Long worked so hard to create?

My precious daughter, why do you miss your father so much? Do you know that my greatest wish in this life is for you to spend the rest of your life happily?

Father, do you know? Before I met Mu Long, I was always depressed and nothing and no one could make me laugh.

I didn't smile until Mu Long appeared in front of me. Every moment I spent with him is the most unforgettable memory of my life.

Upon hearing Xia Rong's words, Emperor Xia couldn't help but recall something one of his subordinates had once told him.

Today is our young lady's fourth birthday, and the Yang family attaches great importance to it. They have not only made a lot of Lei Cha (pounded tea) but also prepared many pastries for the elders and villagers of Jiekou.

Furthermore, they specially invited many children to the Yang residence to play with our young lady.

While listening to his subordinates report on everything that had happened to Xia Rong at the Yang residence, Emperor Xia fed Hei Niu crucian carp soup with a small spoon.

At this moment, Hei Niu placed one of her chubby little paws on Xia Di's palm. She was obediently drinking the crucian carp soup that Xia Di was feeding her.

Hmm! I never expected the Yang family to be so attentive to the birthday of an adopted daughter! If this were any other family, they would definitely look down on my Rong'er for being a girl.

The thing the master really wants to know right now is whether the young mistress of the Yang family knows that our young lady is her biological sister's daughter.

Of course she knew! She knew about it the first time she saw the young lady of the Li family. Otherwise, she wouldn't have insisted on raising our young lady despite the objections of everyone in the Yang household.

Meow! Meow! Meow!

After drinking a few sips of the crucian carp soup, Hei Niu raised her little head and barked at Xia Di a few times. Just as she was about to jump from the desk to the floor, Xia Di unexpectedly held her tightly in his arms.

Little one, where do you want to go again? How have you been feeling these days wandering around outside?

As Xia Di softly asked Hei Niu, he took out his handkerchief from his pocket and wiped her mouth. Then he picked her up from the desk and looked her over from head to toe.

After confirming that there were no wounds on Hei Niu's body, he took Hei Niu into his arms.

For some reason, Blackie started to feel a little disgusted with Xia Di, so she raised both of her front paws. Just as she was about to hit Xia Di hard with her paws, Xia Di pressed her little head down firmly with his hand.

You little rascal, you really don't know what's good for you! I just fed you and you scratched me with your little paws? Behave yourself or I'll lock you in your little cage.

You were such a well-behaved kitten in front of your owner, weren't you? Why do you always act so aggressive and menacing in front of me?

The old butler, standing to the side, frowned upon seeing this scene, for he had no idea what had happened to his young master.

Why has their young master kept this black cat by his side at all times ever since he returned home?

He was utterly bewildered by the fact that his own daughter was completely ignored, even abandoning her four-month-old at the gate of the Yang residence!

By the way! Will the second young master of the Yang family still bully my Rong'er like before? If I remember correctly, he should be a month older than my Rong'er.

Haha! Speaking of the second young master of the Yang family! This old servant really thinks he's a little devil.

Within a radius of hundreds of miles, there isn't a single child who isn't afraid of him! I bet our little girl will continue to be bullied by this little devil, right?

Oh right! I remember that I used to keep the little guy locked in my study, and I even had two people guarding it. How did it escape?

I just asked the servants in the Xia household, and they said that the black cat you keep, sir, is very clever. It even managed to sneak away during the shift change between the two guards.

Haha! Don't you think it's a bit stinky to keep flattering me like this all day? My Niu Niu is very smart, but there's absolutely no way she could escape the sight of everyone in the Xia family and run away.

Master, do you mean that someone deliberately took Hei Niu out of the Xia residence? That's why Hei Niu has been wandering outside for more than a month?

Hmm! I can't rule that out, but I really don't understand why they wouldn't even spare a little black cat. Looks like I'll have to keep Blackie by my side at all times from now on!

Don't you all know that the children who grow up in the Xia family are not so simple? They are all as scheming as their mothers.

If I hadn't missed Rong'er and returned to the manor to visit her back then, she might not be alive today! So for her safety, I had no choice but to expel her from the Xia manor.

As long as the women in the Xia family know that I don't care much about this daughter named Xia Rong, they won't go to great lengths to frame her.

I have already tragically lost her mother, and I cannot bear the pain of losing her any longer! That is why I had no choice but to abandon her in front of the Yang family mansion.

In front of everyone, I showed how much I disliked my daughter, while at the same time showing how much I doted on this little cat named Blackie.

That way, everyone's attention won't be focused entirely on Xia Rong, but rather on the little kitten I've been holding in my arms.

But sir, haven't you heard the saying, "To be showered with favor is to be showered with resentment"? The favor you bestow is itself an invisible and intangible knife.

I think this is why your beloved cannot watch our little lady grow up, since you have put her in such a miserable situation.

Father, am I a very unlikable girl? My mother passed away when I was born, leaving only you and me to depend on each other in this world.

Haha! But you also abandoned me, who was only five months old, at the gate of the Yang residence. I thought I could live a peaceful and safe life in the Yang residence.

Unexpectedly, one day while out shopping with my aunt, I was abducted by human traffickers and taken to another place. Because he hit my head with a stick, I don't remember many things from my childhood.

Xue'er! Your dear daughter will always be the apple of your father's eye! Don't think too much, okay?
