Chapter 1275 - 1274: The Plot Strikes

"Chuyi, our film is doing exceptionally well at the box office," the director said to Xia Chuyi, "so the production company and crew are planning to hold a celebration dinner."

"At that time, Ke Xin will also be there. You know, he has always wanted to thank you in person."

"You weren’t able to attend the film’s premiere," the director said, "so if you miss this celebration as well, Ke Xin will have to return to G City."

"So, Chuyi, can you make it?" the director asked hopefully.

"A celebration dinner, huh..." Xia Chuyi thought seriously for a moment after hearing the director’s words and said, "If it’s just for a little while, it shouldn’t be a problem."

There were still some things Xia Chuyi wanted to ask Li Kexin.

If Li Kexin really went back to G City, who knows when they’d meet again.

"However, I probably won’t be able to stay for long," Xia Chuyi added with a slight smile, "after all, I have to go home and take care of my child."

Upon hearing this, the director also smiled and said, "I understand, I understand. Well then, we’ll all be waiting for you!"

After finishing this conversation, a few days later, Xia Chuyi arranged for someone to look after the child and went to the film’s celebration dinner.

Meanwhile, Xia Lian’er and Mother Xia finally arrived in the Capital City.

Having spent decades in the countryside, Mother Xia felt quite uneasy and out of place suddenly coming to the Capital City.

Mother Xia could only cautiously cling to her daughter, saying, "Lian’er, should we go directly to find your husband?"

"Why look for him?" Xia Lian’er immediately responded impatiently, "We have other things to do!"

"Other things?" Mother Xia looked puzzled and said, "Weren’t we coming to find your husband? What other things could there be?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Lian’er realized she had slipped up.

But Xia Lian’er thought it was already a feat to not lose her temper or break down when facing Mother Xia, so she said, "Oh, why do you ask so much? Just follow me, okay!"

"You are my mom, do you think I would harm you?" Xia Lian’er rolled her eyes.

"No, I didn’t mean that..." Hearing her daughter’s tone, Mother Xia’s eyes instantly filled with tears.

Seeing Mother Xia like this, Xia Lian’er rolled her eyes dramatically and said, "Alright, stop wiping your tears. If you keep doing this, people will think I’m mistreating you!"

"I, I... Mom didn’t mean it..." Mother Xia wiped her eyes, seemingly trying to control herself, but couldn’t manage to do so.

"Forget it, I can’t be bothered with you!" Xia Lian’er felt extremely irritated.

If it weren’t for the fact that this old woman was still of some use... Hmph!

Being a mother, if you can’t provide excellent conditions for your children and instead hold them back, such a mother is simply not worthy!

In Xia Lian’er’s heart, she hardly considered Mother Xia her biological mother.

"Let’s go, let’s get out of the station quickly, someone will pick us up," Xia Lian’er said.

Then, Xia Lian’er looked around cautiously and led Mother Xia out of the station.

Xia Lian’er came with some unspeakable purposes.

Therefore, Xia Lian’er was very afraid of encountering acquaintances and being recognized.

Soon after leaving the station, someone approached Xia Lian’er and said, "I was sent to pick you up."

The person said a prearranged code to Xia Lian’er.

Xia Lian’er’s eyes lit up immediately, and she replied with the code, then asked the person, "Where is the person from above? Where is he?"
