The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age

Chapter 30

"Dad, where's Mom?"

After school, Xiao Bao jumped into the house. He looked around and did not look at Xia Wanyuan.

"Stay here and do your homework. Your mother's ankle is sprained, so she's resting. Don't bother him."

"Huh? Why is mom's ankle sprained? Dad, aren't you protecting Mom well?"

Hearing that Xia Wanyuan was injured, Xiao Bao was worried and looked at Jun Shiling with a reproachful look.

"..."

"Do your homework." Jun Shiling's expression turned cold.

"okay." Xiao Bao sat down reluctantly beside Jun Shiling.

Shen Xiu walked out of the manor. It was only when he returned home and heard his second-rate sister muttering to herself that he suddenly recalled seeing a similar image on his phone.

"Shen Xing, come here."

"Sister, what are you doing? I helped my male god in his ranking competition." Shen Xing is in his teens and in love with the popular Best Actor, Yan Ci, as his posters are plastered everywhere in the house.

"Who's the guy you told me about having an affair with your idol last time?"

"There are a lot of people who want to tie up my husband to horrendous. Which one are you talking about?"

Shen Xing chewed his gum and looked at him with a disdainful look.

'Do you have no idea how popular my idol is?'

"Shen Xing, you're a girl! Let me tell you one more time. If you call another stranger your husband, I'll cut your allowance." Shen Xiu has a headache dealing with his younger sister, who was a celebrity fan in her teens.

"Gt." Shen Xing wasn't sure, but he didn't dare to lose his pocket money. He quickly made a face towards Shen Xiu.

"Last time you threw your phone away in anger." Shen Xiu rubbed his temples.

"Oh, are you talking about that Xia Wanyuan?"

Thinking of Xia Wanyuan, Shen Xing recalled how Xia Wanyuan hooked her arm on Yan Ci's arm in front of so many people back then, causing the phrase "Yan Ci Xia Wanyuan" it was trending on Weibo for three days.

As for someone like Xia Wanyuan, who was famous for his misdeeds, there were no celebrity fans in the entertainment industry who wanted their idols to be associated with him.

Yan Ci had many female fans, and this really sparked the anger of her fans and became the final blow to Xia Wanyuan's popularity.

"Show me the pictures."

"Do you not know how to search in Baidu yourself? I don't want the photo of the woman to appear on my phone. My memories are all reserved for my husband..." Seeing that Shen Xiu was about to explode, Shen Xing quickly changed his words. 'It was reserved for the handsome Yan Ci.'

"Hmmm!" Shen Xiu did not want to talk to his sister anymore. If he did, he would be angry to death.

Sitting on the other side of the sofa, Shen Xiu searched Xia Wanyuan's name on the search bar. The first popular post he posted was a Weibo post that once boycotted and accused Xia Wanyuan.

Scrolling further, he looked at Xia Wanyuan airport's photo. Looking at the face he saw an hour ago, Shen Xiu felt as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

"Sister, why are you staring at him? Don't tell me you like this woman?! Let me tell you! If this sister-in-law comes in, you won't have me as your sister." Shen Xing leaned over to look at Shen Xiu's phone and happened to see a photo of Xia Wanyuan's airport on the screen.

"..."

Shen Xiu rolled his eyes towards Shen Xing. Ignoring the fact that he did not think about it, even if he did, he would have to have the courage to do so.

"Go and fight your ranked game. Don't bother me."

In the manor, the phone suddenly rang in a quiet hall.

"Dad, I thought it was Mom's phone." Xiao Bao pointed at Xia Wanyuan's bag on the sofa. Jun Shiling had brought Xia Wanyuan to the second floor before, so he did not bring his bag.

The phone rang long before it stopped. However, it rang again after three seconds.

It was an unknown number. Jun Shiling pressed the answer button.

"Hello, hello. Is this Mr Xia?" A warm voice came from the other end of the phone.

Jun Shiling was silent for a moment. "Teacher Zhong?"

"Hey Hello. Li Nian has already introduced me to you? That's good too. May I know when we should meet this weekend?" Zhong Wei was a little confused. Didn't Li Nian say that his master was a woman? Why would a man answer the phone?

"Teacher Zhong, I'm Jun Shiling."

Jun Shiling had studied abroad in London eight years ago, when Zhong Wei happened to be in London as a visiting scholar.

Although Zhong Wei was a professor in the finance department, he had great respect for traditional Chinese literature and art. Back then, Jun Shiling had bought China's famous mountain and river paintings at a high price, which attracted Zhong Wei's attention.

Then, when they met in class, Zhong Wei did not have the aura of a teacher. Although he had not taught Jun Shiling directly, he had given him a lot of help and advice. After returning to China, Jun Shiling would send people to send gifts to the old man every year.

"Jun Shiling?!" Elder Zhong was unaware of it at first. Now that Jun Shiling had revealed his identity, Zhong Wei finally reacted.

"Why are you answering the phone?"

"The phone owner was resting, so I helped him answer. Why are you looking for him?" Jun Shiling was also very confused. How did Elder Zhong get involved with Xia Wanyuan?

Elder Zhong could only tell the entire story.

"So the master was invited by your family. No wonder the standards are so high." Zhong Wei thought that Mr. Xia had been recruited by the Jun family. After all, with the Jun family's wealth and strength, it was indeed not difficult to find such a talent.

"I'll tell him when he wakes up. Let's meet again when we have the chance, Elder Zhong." Jun Shiling's eyes were dark. 'Mr Xia?'

"Okay, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Jun Shiling glanced at the second floor. Very good at painting? A master of Chinese art? How much more does he have that I don't know about?

"Dad, I want to go up and visit Mom." Xiao Bao had also finished his homework and looked at Jun Shiling excitedly.

"M."

With Jun Shiling's permission, Xiao Bao ran upstairs, but when he reached the corridor on the second floor, he slowed down and tried not to make a sound.

He tiptoed to the door and carefully pushed it open.

"Mom, you're awake!" Xiao Bao's eyes twinkled as he watched Xia Wanyuan read on the bed.

"I just woke up. Come." Comehere." There was a smile in Xia Wanyuan's eyes. He placed the book in his hand and waved at Xiao Bao.

Xiao Bao ran to the bed and gently pulled the blanket over. When he saw her feet that were still swollen after being wrapped in medicine, her big eyes were filled with heartache.

"Mom, does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore after applying the medicine."

"I'll blow it for you." Xiao Bao imitated how Xia Wanyuan usually comforted him and puffed his legs.

Xia Wanyuan was relieved to see how wise Xiao Bao was.

On the other side of the ocean, it was the umpteenth time Xuan Sheng opened the video of a beautiful woman crying under the moonlight. His eyes flickered with passion as he drank a mouthful of powerful wine, and his junks twitched.

"Jack, book me a flight back to China tomorrow."
