1385 Create Opportunities
Bian Duo clapped her hands excitedly and said, âThis is a good thing! Since Xia Xing is so useless, why donât you just marry that eldest son? It really doesnât matter who you marry!â
âWhat are you saying! Xia Xing and I are about to get married. How can I be with Xia Wen!â Shao Yin said as she looked at Bian Duo in disbelief.
âYour mother is right! You are only about to get married, so that means itâs not official yet, right? Since youâre not officially married yet, then you can still try. Heâs single and youâre not married yet. Isnât this a match made in heaven?â Shao Zhuang said agitatedly.
This was really a whole new interpretation of the phrase âa match made in heavenââŠ
âBut⊠but how do I get close to Xia Wen? He doesnât even want to see me now. Even if I want to, I donât stand any chance,â Shao Yin said while blushing.
âSilly child! Opportunities can always be created! Since Xia Xing is useless, then letâs find someone else. Weâve already endured the experience of staying in this lousy guest house. You must think of a way to be with Xia Wen! Do you understand?â Shao Zhuang said.
Shao Yin nodded shyly. Since her parents had already told her to go ahead, why would she still need to hesitate? However, she did not know how to get close to Xia Wen. If there was really no other way, she would go to Qiao Meiâs house and wait at the main door every day and night. At some point, she would bump into Xia Wen when he went to visit the children.
âMy daughter, even as you try to get close to Xia Wen, you have to consider Xia Xingâs feelings. In the event that Xia Wen is too stubborn to accept you, then you wonât find yourself being disadvantaged! Donât throw away the apple in your hand before you harvest the watermelon. If you lose both the watermelon and the apple, that would be a massive loss!â Bian Duo said.
âIâll remember that. I wonât let you down,â Shao Yin said firmly.
âAlright, youâd better go back now. Thereâs no need for your elder sister to go with you. Itâs useless for her to be there anyway. Sheâll stay here with us,â Shao Zhuang said impatiently.
Shao Yin took a long glance at Shao Le in the corner and then quietly ran out of the guest house. She did not go home immediately but walked towards Xia Wenâs workplace. Xia Xing had mentioned the address to her before and she found the place by asking for directions.
âThis place is so imposingâŠâ Shao Yin stood at the entrance of Xia Wenâs workplace in a daze.
Xia Wenâs office was at the government headquarters in the capital. The main entrance naturally looked more grandiose and was much bigger than those district government office buildings.
Shao Yin carefully memorized all the decorative details on the main door. She wanted to describe it to Shao Chun and the others about it next time! She must make them feel envious of her. Still deep in thought, Shao Yin walked towards the entrance to enter the building. When the security officers saw that, they immediately stopped her.
âWho are you! How can you come in as you wish!â the security officer said.
âOh! Do I need to register? Iâm Xia Wenâs family member and Iâm here to see him,â Shao Yin said instinctively.
When she went to Xu Lanâs house the last time, she had to register at the main gate. At first, she thought that it was such a troublesome thing. However, now that she thought about it, this was actually a status symbol. Only powerful people would need to have such a cumbersome registration method at the place they lived. Seeing it this way, Shao Yin did not find it troublesome anymore. Instead, she felt that it was a symbol of glory.
âThis is not a building where you can enter just by registering. Come with me.â The security officer brought Shao Yin to the security booth and left her outside the door. He knew what Xia Wenâs wife looked like and this woman was definitely not his wife. This person was behaving so sneakily at the main door just now. There must be something fishy going on!
The security officer made a call to Xia Wenâs secretary and said, âReport, thereâs a woman at the door who says that sheâs Director Xiaâs family member. Iâm calling to check if youâre expecting anyone.â
âFamily member? Director Xia is in a meeting now. He has instructed that he will not see anyone, including people from his family. Please ask her to go back. Itâs not a convenient time now,â Xia Wenâs secretary said.
âAlright, I understand.â The security officer hung up the phone and turned to Shao Yin. âIâm sorry, Director Xia is not free. You may wish to come again another day.â
At the Xia family residence, he had found all kinds of reasons to avoid her. Now that she was at his workplace, he was not free. Could it be that she had really done something unforgivable and made him angry?
Shao Yin wanted to barge in, but when she saw that there were another two people in police uniforms inside the security booth, she hesitated. If they arrested her and put her in the detention center, she did not know what Shao Chun and the others would say about her when they found out!
It was better to play safe. If she could not achieve her goal today, she could come back another day!
