After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1283 - 1282: What Exactly Are You Trying to Do?

Li Kexin let out a sincere sigh, stating, "Ah, I am returning to G City tomorrow. I am unsure when another opportunity will arise for us to discuss matters again..."

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi responded with composure, "It is quite alright. In the business world, there will invariably be numerous occasions for collaboration, and naturally, collaboration necessitates meetings."

Xia Chuyi advised Li Kexin, "Mr. Li, you should simply concentrate on advancing your development."

"That is all we can do," Li Kexin replied with a sigh.

Eventually, Xia Chuyi departed first.

Before his departure, the director urged Xia Chuyi to be sure to provide his feedback after viewing the movie in the coming days.

Xia Chuyi acknowledged this with a nod.

He then proceeded to head home.

Two days later, just as Xia Chuyi was preparing to take his companions, his elder brother, and Xiao Jingqi to see the movie, he unexpectedly received a telephone call from Xia Lianlian!

The call from Xia Lianlian came directly to their residence.

However, Xia Lianlian had utilized another person's name to make the call, a detail the initial answerer did not perceive.

Consequently, by the time the call reached Xia Chuyi, he was quite taken aback.

"Xia Lianlian?" Xia Chuyi's astonishment was palpable as he answered the phone.

Xia Chuyi struggled to comprehend why Xia Lianlian would dare to contact him.

After all, it was because of the Heavenly Book Recipe that her son, the infant Huo Shiwu, might even exist.

Even if he had been born, he might have been afflicted with some form of intellectual disability.

And the individual who had initiated all of this was none other than Xia Lianlian.

Thus, Xia Chuyi genuinely questioned Xia Lianlian's motivations for daring to call him.

Addressing Xia Lianlian with a cold tone, Xia Chuyi inquired, "Xia Lianlian, you have finally escaped the mental institution and journeyed all the way to the Capital City... Xia Lianlian, what exactly do you intend to do?"

In response to Xia Chuyi's question, Xia Lianlian let out a light laugh and asked, "What do I want to do? What can I do?"

"Regardless, I resided with the Ou Family for twenty years," Xia Lianlian stated. "Is it not permissible to make a call home to inquire about the situation?"

Inquiring about the situation?

Indeed, that seemed acceptable.

But...

Xia Chuyi let out a sneer.

Given that Xia Lianlian was capable of abandoning her own child, Xia Chuyi firmly disbelieved her call was motivated by simple concern.

"Tell me, what is your true objective?" Xia Chuyi pressed, his voice still cold.

As he spoke, Xia Chuyi made an effort to discern any background noise from Xia Lianlian's end of the line.

He was attempting to ascertain her current location.

At this juncture, Xia Lianlian declared, "Very well, since you have no inclination for beating around the bush, neither shall I..."

"To be candid, Xia Chuyi, I have arrived with your 'mom' this time," Xia Lianlian revealed deliberately, a grin audible in her voice.

His 'mom'?

Xia Chuyi's brow immediately furrowed.

If his memory served him correctly, when Xia Lianlian had vanished, she had disappeared concurrently with Mother Xia.

Therefore, the 'mom' Xia Lianlian was referring to must be Mother Xia.

Xia Chuyi responded with a dismissive scoff, "The one you brought along, is it your 'mom'... or my 'mom'?"

Xia Chuyi could not fathom where the Xia Family had derived the audacity to assume he would still acknowledge Mother Xia.

Upon hearing Xia Chuyi's question, Xia Lianlian retorted directly, "Giving birth does not equate to raising. Zhao Chunxiao has been your mother for twenty years. Are you not afraid of being ridiculed for failing to recognize her?"

"Moreover, if you refuse to acknowledge her, are you not concerned about hurting your uncle and aunt's feelings?" Xia Lianlian continued over the phone.

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi's brow knitted tightly once more. "Xia Lianlian, what is it that you truly want?"
