"I just want to know who you are," Xu Yun said seriously.
Xia Qiuyu didn't think before answering, "Well, I'm a Hua Xia person in general, even though I'm a quarter of Western European. Can't you tell? I'm so pretty. Most people would ask me if I'm a mixed-blood when they see me. Are you short-sighted? What's your degree? "
"…" This nonsensical answer made Xu Yun completely speechless. "Okay, then I'll be more direct. Where did you learn how to steal from?"
"Hey, Xu Yun, you don't have to be so rude. What do you mean by steal? I'm just 'following', understand? " Xia Qiuyu said, "If you keep talking like this, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. Your logic is too unclear."
Who's the one with unclear logic between the two of us?! Xu Yun really wanted to yell at her, but since she had helped him, he had to follow basic manners. "Sorry, it's my fault. My primary school language was taught by a physical education teacher, so sometimes I don't use the right words. But … how do you know my name? "
"I've known your name since I can remember things. What's so strange about that?" Xia Qiuyu said, "Do you think I want to know you? It's all because of my dad. If he didn't insist that I come to Hua Xia to find you, I wouldn't have bothered to come."
"Who's your dad?!" Xu Yun was about to go crazy. He couldn't keep up with Xia Qiuyu's "logic" at all! What was going on? It was so strange.
Xia Qiuyu choked on the alcohol, probably because she drank too much. She took out a tissue and wiped her mouth, complaining that the alcohol tasted bad. Then, she looked at Xu Yun suspiciously. "Are you really dumb or are you pretending to be dumb? My dad said that as long as I come to Hua Xia to find you, you'll definitely know who I am. But why do I feel like you don't know anything at all? "
Xu Yun nodded. "Obviously, I really don't know anything. The only thing I know now is that the way you steal … no, the way you take things is exactly the same as Senior Shadowless! I don't know anything else. "
"Senior Shadowless?" Xia Qiuyu couldn't help but laugh. "Is that what you call my dad?"
Your father?! Xu Yun was stunned. Shadowless was Xia Qiuyu's father?! No wonder, no wonder Xia Qiuyu's technique was so untraceable. It was simply like the work of ghosts and gods. Shadowless was the only one in the world who deserved the title of "Godly Thief".
But when did Shadowless have a daughter? This was too sudden. Xu Yun was now completely confused.
Wait … Xu Yun couldn't wrap his head around this. If he remembered correctly, Shadowless' surname wasn't Xia at all. How could he have a daughter with the surname Xia? The tradition of Hua Xia hadn't changed for thousands of years. Which child didn't follow their father's surname? Unless Shadowless married into the family? Become a live-in son-in-law?
"What are you thinking about now? You look like you can't believe it," Xia Qiuyu said. "Do you think I'm joking with you?"
Xu Yun shook his head. "No, no. I just don't understand. You … why didn't you follow your dad's surname?"
"It only means that my dad isn't a responsible dad," Xia Qiuyu said. "He only knew I was pregnant when I was three. I didn't know where he was when I was born. My mom couldn't have let me be a nameless person, right? Naturally, I followed my mom's surname. "
"Your dad didn't know when you were born?" Xu Yun's eyes widened. "This, this doesn't make sense …"
"I don't dare to jump to conclusions about their relationship, but I'm sure of one thing. My mom is a foolish woman. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given birth to a child for a man who didn't even promise her marriage," Xia Qiuyu said. "I don't care if you have other questions, but I won't answer any more of them."
Xu Yun nodded. "En, I understand. If it were me, I wouldn't want anyone to ask me this question either. Phew … So it was Senior Shadowless who told you to come find me? "
Xia Qiuyu said, "Yes, he told me to come find you. He said you're the person I want to find in this life because he had a promise with your father. Before he knew I was pregnant, he had already arranged a marriage with your father. Phew, that's why he told me to come find you. Isn't that a joke? "
It wasn't just a joke! Xu Yun didn't even have any impression of his father, and he arranged such a ridiculous marriage for him?! Was he crazy?!
Seeing Xu Yun's disbelief and helplessness, Xia Qiuyu hurriedly explained, "Don't misunderstand. I won't rely on you. I don't agree with this old thing at all. Plus, I don't think I need a man to take care of me for the rest of my life. I came to Hua Xia to see you because I wanted to give my dad some face. He said like father, like son. You must be a man worth relying on. He told me to come and get to know you. If I don't have any feelings for you after I get to know you, then I don't have to abide by this ridiculous marriage. "
Xu Yun nodded. This really surprised him. Why hadn't Senior Shadowless told him about this before? Xu Yun only remembered that the last time he saw Shadowless was seven years ago. He had never heard him mention his daughter. Not only that, but every time he asked about his father's identity, Shadowless would only stammer.
"You've already given your dad face," Xu Yun said. "What are you going to tell him?"
Xia Qiuyu said, "Of course I'm going to tell him that you're not reliable. To be honest, you didn't give me a good first impression. You went into a room with two actresses in one day. No one would think you're reliable. "
"You don't really believe me, do you?"
"Of course. Other people didn't see those photos, but I did," Xia Qiuyu said. "I didn't know where to find you when I came to Hua Xia, but my dad said that since you left the army, you would definitely take over Sky Entertainment. That's how I found you. After I found out who you were, I realized that someone was plotting against you. That's why I didn't show up. I thought that since it was the first time we met, I should give you a big present to help you deal with that fatty's plot. But you should also check yourself. Otherwise, you won't be caught red-handed. "
Xu Yun was helpless. "Even so, I still want to explain that there's nothing between me and them."
"You don't have to explain to me. I don't blame you," Xia Qiuyu said. "Anyway, I won't really marry you. I don't care about your private life. But I still don't understand why my dad thinks so highly of you. "
Before Xu Yun was 18 years old, Shadowless would go to Dragon's Fury every year to see him. It could be said that he watched him grow up and had a good understanding of his character and sense of responsibility.
"I don't know." Xu Yun shook his head. "I haven't seen Senior Shadowless in a long time. Is he well?"
Xia Qiuyu shook her head. "If he was well, I wouldn't have come to see you for him. It's because he's not well that I'm here to do what he's always asked of me. "
"Then where is he now?" Xu Yun paused.
