Chapter 1243: See the Light Again
Xia Yingluo suddenly understood that her uncle had brought people to save her.
After a moment of rejoicing, she asked, “Uncle, then what about you?” If she dressed up as him and went out, wouldn’t he be trapped in this abnormal underground base?
Xia Moyan said, “Wei Lingan won’t dare to touch me.”
For hundreds of years, the Xia family had maintained a delicate balance with Wei Lingnan. Even if Wei Lingnan was bold enough, he wouldn’t dare do anything to the Xia family Preceptor unless he wanted a life and death struggle. What’s more, that man loved Xia Yingluo deeply and wouldn’t really kill her loved ones and make her resent him forever.
Xia Yingluo nodded. She understood that now was not the time to dillydally, and quickly changed into Xia Moyan’s clothing.
She also received a small map. The route was marked with a green line, and red lines marked out the danger zones. She had seen these marks when she received the family survival training and hence, knew what it meant at first glance. “Take care, uncle.”
She turned and entered the vast complex.
The map her uncle gave was really easy to use. Along the way, she escaped several obstacles and patrols without any risk. Other obstacles were also solved by the skills she had learned in the family over the years. After walking around for about half an hour, she came to the hall marked on the map. There were about twenty or thirty people in the hall, listening to what a researcher-like person was explaining. She entered silently, not wanting to attract any attention.
Beside her, a man in a suit and leather shoes smiled and said, “You’re back, Ms. Moyan.”
As soon as she heard it, she understood that he was the person who had come to rescue her.
She smiled in response.
The rescue plan went smoothly, and the group didn’t stay too long. They left after hearing the explanation.
Xia Yingluo walked out of the base while mixed in the crowd, and when she stepped out of the door of the old building, she couldn’t believe that she was out like this. She turned back and looked at the building with complexed feelings. Under the bright sun, that building looked so unusual. Who knew that there were so many perilous situations hidden deep in the ground?
“Miss, let’s go.” The responder lowered his voice to remind her.
Xia Yingluo got in the car.
She went home in the car—her parents lived in City S.
She got out of the car and saw her family standing at the door to meet her—Li Lei was wearing an ordinary T-shirt, Xia Ling in a light silk dress, and Li Rui was standing not far from them.
“Dad, mom!” She rushed to hug them.
Xia Ling and Li Lei hugged her tightly too, anxiously embracing her. “You’re finally back.” Xia Ling’s voice shook with excitement. “Yingluo, do you know how worried your father and I have been during this time?”
Xia Yingluo was also very happy and guilty. “I’m fine, Mom. Sorry for worrying you.”
“All that matters is that you’re alright.” Xia Ling looked at her from head to toe and saw that her skin was radiant, her eyes clear, her complexion good, and she didn’t look like something had happened, so she heaved a sigh of relief. “Your two older brothers are also worried about you,” she said to Xia Yingluo. “With so many children at home, you are the most worrying.”
Xia Yingluo smiled coquettishly. “That’s because you, father and my brothers all care for me.”
She turned around and gave Li Rui a big hug. “Second Brother.”
Li Rui raised his eyebrows lightly. “You’ve spent eleven months away from home, did you go crazy playing outside? You’re even calling me second brother so fakely.”
Xia Yingluo smiled again. “No, I have always missed you.”
“Do you want me to give you pocket money? Or take you to play?” Li Rui laughed. “Or did you just think about asking me to save you? If you miss me, it’s bound to be nothing good.”
“Hehe, hehe.” Xia Yingluo was unable to refute.
The two brothers in the family had a good relationship with her. However, the older brother Li Shaohui learned how to be an excellent heir from an early age and was rarely free ever since she could remember. However, her second brother, Li Rui, was as playful as her and brought her out to go down the river to touch the fishes, climb up the tree to dig out the birds, and sometimes, they would even go to the casino or the red light district to gain more experiences…
Because of this, they were often in trouble, but the two siblings had forged a deep “revolutionary friendship.”
After teasing her second brother, she asked, “What about big brother?”
“Li Shaohui had to be in the headquarters and couldn’t walk away.” Unlike Xia Yingluo who called “Big brother” and “Second brother” by the rules, Li Rui had always called Li Shaohui by his first name. The two had fought several times over this when they were young, but Li Rui refused to change his habits and Shaohui had no choice but to give in.
Xia Yingluo nodded and understood.
It was said that her unreliable father had wanted to retire from many years ago, leaving the burden of the family to others, so that he could swim and explore the world with her mother…
That was why Shaohui had been cultivated so desperately since young. Everything that Shaohui could do, Li Rui wouldn’t do himself.
She silently pitied her elder brother and said, “Then I’ll call him and report my safety.”
The family got together and talked again. Xia Ling was afraid that Xia Yingluo was tired, so she let her rest. Xia Yingluo bid farewell to them, returned to her room and fell asleep on the bed.
After seeing her leave, Xia Ling’s expression was a little stunned, and she sighed softly.
Li Lei, who was standing beside her, consoled her. “Don’t worry, everything will be fine.” He understood why his wife had sighed. Yingluo this child had had terrible dreams since she was young, and this was extremely unusual for a child blessed as the Phoenix’s daughter. At that time, Xia Moyan had warned them that Xia Ling had only been pregnant with the child after taking the medicine given to them by Wei Lingnan, and there might be some special things. Over the years, they carefully took care of and protected Yingluo. For years, nothing happened, making them think that Xia Moyan’s warning was just a false alarm.
Unexpectedly, there was no way to stop what was to come.
From all the clues, they analyzed that perhaps Yingluo was the reason why Wei Lingnan insisted on staying on Earth. Wei Lingnan wouldn’t give up so easily. Xia Ling was extremely worried, but under the comfort of her husband, she smiled. “Yingluo has been lucky since young, nothing will happen.”
Li Lei hugged her gently.
The two looked at the landscape in the villa’s garden together.
Xia Ling was born petite and was clearly the mother of two children, but she still looked the same as when she was a girl. Her face was as beautiful as ever. It was a blessing only for those who were especially lucky to get the care of time.
She was a very blessed person.
Her children would certainly be fine.
Xia Yingluo was asleep for a long time. When she woke up, she put on a coat and saw her parents sipping a pot of tea in the small garden. The gentle sunshine shone on their bodies, and their hazy figures made her feel peaceful.
She felt envious unconsciously.
For a long time, her parents had been a model of love-telling among the people. Just a year ago, she was full of hope that she would also find a happy marriage like her parents, but Zhao Yixuan and Wei Lingnan… Why couldn’t there be a gentle person?
