Chapter 730: With You 30
Xia Yinian added some vegetables on her dish, "Oh," she murmured before putting it into her mouth."Yinian has definitely lost too much weight; she must eat more." Old Master also picked up a piece for Xia Yinian and placed it in her bowl.
"Thank you, Grandpa!" Xia Yinian turned around and gave Old Master a slight smile.
"These days, you have been having Uncle Rui personally bring meals to the hospital every day. How could I possibly lose weight?"
"A girl should eat more. I’ve had Ah Rui pack some good medicinal herbs for you to take back. Old Man Gu has plenty of good stuff too, but I’m still worried it’s not enough."
"I don’t know when Yinian will come back to visit Grandpa this time." Old Master sighed.
"Grandpa, don’t always talk about this. After the Alchemy Competition, I’ll find an opportunity to visit you," Xia Yinian said softly.
Of course, it would be even better if she could win the competition; she was representing her grandfather.
Grandpa’s alchemy skills must be up to par; the key now is how much I can learn.
Finding a chance to come later shouldn’t be difficult; at worst, I’ll have Brother Ling Qian make arrangements.
"Yinian, remember your words," Old Master’s face added a bit of a smile.
No wonder Chuxue said that with Xia Yinian around, it would definitely affect her status in the Feng Family.
Now, the Feng Family is still dominated by Old Master, even He Shuya could see that Old Master’s affection for Xia Yinian was deeper than for his own daughter.
The better their relationship became, the more unpalatable it felt to her.
Xia Liyuan didn’t say a word, occasionally glancing at Xia Yinian with a complex expression in his eyes.
Xia Chuxue was too "concerned" about the competition this time to come home for lunch.
The entire dining room, besides Xia Liyuan, had another person who hadn’t spoken at all, Feng Yan.
After lunch, Feng Yan left the Feng Family; Xia Yinian escorted Old Master back to his room.
The two talked for almost an hour; after letting Old Master fall asleep, Xia Yinian returned to her own room.
Shortly after she entered, someone knocked on the door from outside.
Xia Yinian approached and opened the door, facing the man standing outside.
"Dad," she called out softly.
Xia Liyuan nodded, glanced inside.
"Dad, may I come in and sit?"
Xia Yinian nodded, pulling the door open.
"Of course."
Although this man was not her biological father, at least she had lived under his care for so many years.
Xia Yinian knew very clearly that without him, her life in the Xia Family would have been even more miserable.
These days, it was already the third time she had met with Dad, but there was not much communication between them.
It should be said that since getting involved with Gu Family, they spoke very little.
"Dad, please have a seat," Xia Yinian walked further inside, pulling over a chair.
"Mhm." Xia Liyuan sat down on the chair.
Xia Yinian returned to her bed and sat down, looking at him.
"Dad, is there something you want to talk about?"
For some reason, she always felt he had something difficult to say, she had felt this even in the hospital.
But he didn’t speak, and she didn’t ask.
Xia Liyuan met her gaze, pursed his lips and softly said: "Nothing much, Dad just wanted to know if you’re doing well?"
Hearing "Are you doing well?", sparked a mild startle in Xia Yinian’s heart.
There was a time when she thought she was the only person left in her world.
Her older sisters and this so-called mother always treated her that way, and Grandpa’s attitude had also deeply disappointed Xia Yinian.
Unexpectedly, she was not even Dad’s biological daughter.
