Volume 1: Chapter ?? Capturing Cold-Faced Agent 004 Being Led Away

  As soon as I stepped in, it was indeed expensive beyond words.

  The expensive and elegant summer clothes look out of place in this broken home.

  After finishing with the young one, came the big one, after leaving the big one, came the old one.

  What's wrong with this family? They're all against her.

  This time, she really got herself into a big mess.

  Jiang Mo took out a red envelope and opened it, "Little Xia, Grandpa went to match your eight characters with Quan Xi's today, I don't know how compatible you are."

  Rong Xia pulled up the corners of her mouth, apart from feeling depressed, she could only hehe.

  She shot a glance at Rong An, and it was clear that her old man had sold her out.

  "Hey, grandpa, I'm only 18 and in the middle of taking my college entrance exams. I don't have time or the mood to think about getting married. Besides, our country doesn't even allow me to get married at this age." Rong Xia brushed it off.

  "It doesn't matter, the wedding can wait until after your exams. As for registration, it's just a procedure. In our generation, we didn't register and still lived a lifetime. I heard from your dad that you've been falling behind in school lately? The school called to ask parents to come over?"

  Rong An gave Rong Xia a meaningful glance.

  Rong Xia's mouth twitched, and she smiled awkwardly. She figured it out: Rong An hadn't come to school because he was accompanying this old man. Too embarrassed to say that he had beaten up a classmate, he casually made up an excuse about her poor grades.

  But when did her grades ever go up?

  It's all tears when I talk about it.

  "Grandpa can tell you, our family's Guanxi was incredibly fierce when he studied in his younger years. Although he attended the British Royal Military Academy, it's not much different from domestic schools. I'll have him come and help you with your studies, guaranteed to get you into a key school."

  Rong Xia's mind immediately locked onto the six words "British Royal Military Academy", wow, damn it! This is such a high-end place, no wonder he has such a good figure, such a fierce gaze, and such a cold expression.

  Well done!

  When the female soldier was Rong Xia's lifelong dream, the Rong family was originally a military officer's family like the Jing family, but unfortunately, her father Rong An was useless and couldn't even pass the physical examination, with a weak and incompetent personality.

  However, if the results were so good, could there be a younger brother like Huo Sheng? Huo Sheng's grades have always been renowned throughout Qihang City High School, and Ying Hui is the worst, with no one worse than him.

  Let him teach himself a lesson, but as soon as Rong Xia thought of that gaze, he was frozen to death, so forget it.

  If you're dissatisfied with her poor grades, wouldn't killing her be a fate worse than death?

  "Grandfather Jing, I think that marriage should be based on mutual consent. He probably doesn't like me that much, besides, the engagement was decided twenty years ago, when I wasn't even born yet." Rong Xia pushed back again.

  "Xiaxia, both I and your grandfather are from a military background, we always mean what we say, once something is decided, it's set in stone. There's no room for liking or disliking, besides, you're so pretty, I'm worried that you might not be interested in our family's Guanxi, to be honest with your grandfather, isn't it because you don't like him?"

  Uh... how can Rong Xia put this into words?

  Troubled.

  As an expert in appearance association, she absolutely wants to give Huo Quanxi 100 points.

  However, his temper is terrible and his attitude is arrogant, directly deducting 60 points. But considering he's from a military school, I'll add back 20 points, barely passing him.

  An 18-year-old girl has no concept of marriage at all, and Rong Xia is the same. Her fantasy about her future husband can be summed up in one word: handsome.

  "Ah Wu——" Rong Xia was mentally calculating, her foot was fiercely trampled by Rong An, receiving the warning gaze of her old man, she rolled her eyes, "He's okay, just a bit bad-tempered, a bit attitude, and not very talkative..."

  Rong An's brain was dizzy for a moment, and he actually scolded his precious grandson in front of Jiang Mo. This girl is hopeless.

  Jin Mo let out a deep sigh, "This grandson of mine is good in every way, but his temperament is not good, he never has a smile on his face. I reckon after he gets married and has a wife, he'll be better. Xiaohua, Grandpa is counting on you for this."

  Cough cough, it's not even like that yet, and you're already pointing at her, what a joke.

  "What if he bullies me?"

  "He dares! I'll take him in." Old Master Jing immediately put on a stern face and turned the tables.

  Rong Xia secretly delighted in this, and she wanted to see how this chaos would be cleaned up.

  "Uncle Jing, I was bullied on my way home from school today. Luckily, I ran into your great-grandnephew and asked for his help, but he turned a blind eye and walked away." Rong Xia complained with a disgruntled face.

  Rong An's mind was spinning again, this girl is really good at talking nonsense, the teacher clearly called to say it was her who hit someone else.

  "This young fellow is too much," Old Jing said with a forceful jab of his cane, startling Rong Xia into taking a step back.

  It's taking effect already, so fast!

  Jing Mo took out his phone and dialed Huo Quanxi's number, saying only a few words before telling him to return to the Jing residence that night, his tone severe.

  "Xiaxia, are you hurt anywhere? Grandpa will take you to the hospital for a check-up."

  The tone of voice changed completely with just a turn of the head, this cold and hot, made Xia hear it awkwardly.

  "No, no one can hurt me, I've practiced, hum, haha..." Rong Xia proudly showed off her three-legged cat moves.

  "It's better not to, a pretty little girl like you going to and from school alone is not safe. I heard your dad say that you're studying at Fourth Middle School. How about moving in with Grandpa? Grandpa can have the driver pick you up and drop you off, it's just a 5-minute drive, much more convenient than squeezing onto a bus for an hour. What do you think, Anzi?"

  Rong An readily agreed, but Rong Xia was unhappy. Although the proposal wasn't bad - they would have a big house to live in and a luxurious car to take them around - it was inexplicable that they had to live in someone else's home, which seemed strange no matter how you thought about it.

  Although I lived there before, it was after all during my childhood.

  After a battle of words, Rong Xia reluctantly agreed to temporarily stay at Jiang's house and get through the last monthly exam, which was only about seven or eight days away.

  Every day, she spends two hours commuting back and forth on a crowded bus. To be honest, just mentioning this makes her head ache, it's infuriating.

  But who made her be forced to drop out of school boarding?!

  She can only re-enter the dormitory based on her monthly exam scores.

  ————*—————

  The big car drove into the Wang family's mansion, and Huo Quanxi's carriage had already stopped in the courtyard.

  Rong Xia was greeted by the doorman and stood at the gate, taking a glance around her. She had never been here before. She knew that back then, both the Rong family and the Jing family lived in the military compound's mansion, but now this house, although luxurious, no longer had the majesty of the military compound. It was just a luxury villa.

  She followed Old Master Jin into the house, while Huo Quanxun sat in the living room with his legs crossed, reading a newspaper.

  He's taking it too seriously, and even when someone comes, he doesn't make a sound.

  "Seal of Power."

  Jiang Lao Yezi walked over with a cold face.

  Huo Quanxi slowly raised his head, still with that unchanged icy face of a thousand years, expressionless.

  His eyebrows furrowed slightly as his gaze swept over the old trunk, but it was fleeting.

  He's not surprised at all to see her appear here?!

  This mental endurance is even more calm than a special agent.

  It's so annoying! It's like being completely ignored, it's too invisible.

  "Quán Xiǎng, you today——"

  "Grandpa, dinner is ready."

  He knew what Jiang Mo wanted to say, and with this attitude, would there be anything else besides being reported? He simply didn't want to listen.

  Jiang Lao's words were immediately refuted in front of the younger generation, and his head suddenly emitted a burst of anger, "What are you talking about?! Do you know that Xia was bullied today?!"

  "I've heard."

  Xie Ye put on an air of indifference and apathy, which was really annoying.

  "So you've heard?" Old Jing's face turned red with rage, his voice stern and authoritative.
