Indeed, nothing happened to him. His career was smooth sailing, and his work was done very well. He even finished two days'worth of work ahead of schedule. He specially asked for leave from the organization and came out to accompany his daughter.
Even though he had not been successfully elected as president, he could not simply leave his post as a candidate member of parliament.
It could be seen that he really wanted to treat Xia Jinqi well this time.
Firstly, he was afraid of what Ji Yunjing had said.
Secondly, he also knew that paper could not cover fire, and it was only a matter of time before his reputation was ruined. And before that, he wanted to make up for Little Qi as much as possible.
Perhaps, it was a kind of repentance in his old age?
Just like Yan Youcheng, when he was young, he had caused a lot of trouble in the city, but he still had to get a divorce. When he was old, he suddenly knew that he was wrong.
Xia Jinqi, however, felt an inexplicable repulsion and wariness towards this sudden kindness. "I'm not tired at all. Dad, if you don't have anything to do, I won't send you off. "
Although her tone was still polite, Xia Jinqi's words were always cold and detached.
Just like how her father had treated her countless times when she was young, she followed his example and learned everything thoroughly.
Sometimes, people were like this. If they treated her well, she would take them to heart and return them a hundred times over.
If they treated her badly, she naturally didn't have to lick her lips and move forward.
Xia Jitian was a little stiff. Hearing that his daughter was ordering him to leave, he felt a little embarrassed, but he still wanted to try his best. "This... It's still early! Dad will accompany you to have dinner before leaving! "
When Xia Jinqi heard this, her eyebrows furrowed even more tightly. She still wanted to stay for dinner?
Today was really strange. Why did her father, who had never paid her any attention, suddenly become so attentive?
But just now, when she asked him if there was anything, he said that there wasn't anything... ...
Xia Jinqi's heart was inexplicably perturbed. She coughed lightly and chose to escape. "Dad, it's really unfortunate. I have an appointment with a friend. It's almost time, I have to go out... "
After saying that, Xia Jinqi didn't care about anything else. She directly stood up and went out of the door.
"Xiao Qi! Don't run! SLOW DOWN! "
Xia Jitian's voice was still echoing behind her. In Xia Jinqi's ears, it sounded like a terrifying death... ...
After running out of the door, Xia Jinqi took two deep breaths to suppress the goosebumps all over her body.
She couldn't help but raise her head to look at the world in front of her.
The Sun in July was still scorching. The bushes that had just been pruned yesterday hadn't sprouted today.
The lawn that had just been watered still had traces of water droplets.
The servants who went out to shop in the morning drove their small Golden Cups and returned with a full load.
Everything was so real that it didn't seem like a dream at all.
But why had Xia Jitian's attitude toward her changed so much?
Xia Jinqi couldn't understand, but she didn't dare to stay any longer.
If Xia Jitian had come to find trouble with her this time, or to ask her to do something, she would definitely be able to sit down and have a good talk with him. However, ever since he entered the house, Xia Jinqi had been short and short. She had all kinds of questions, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
Rather than staying inside, it was better to escape.
Thinking that she hadn't contacted Huo Ting for a long time and that Xia Jinqi had nowhere to go, she simply went to the Huo family's house and paid a visit. At the same time, she freeloaded on dinner.
Grandfather Huo was not at home either. Huo Ting was the only one enjoying the shade in the Gazebo.
Just as he was bored, he saw Xia Jinqi running all the way to his house as if her butt was on fire.
After asking about the cause and effect, he found out that she had actually been scared away by his father. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.
