Became a salted fish pretend heiress and handed over the system Chapter 141: Take a Rest

"Who would have thought, the Xia Family is such a fortunate one," Chu Lan said thoughtfully, glancing at Xia Yue and Xia Xi.

Although she was unsure about Xia Yue’s circumstances, anyone who her son chose to protect must be indescribably valuable. Besides, she’d heard from her husband that the higher-ups were working on so groundbreaking experintal research involving technology, all of which was handed over by their son.

If her son already had these assets, he wouldn’t have waited till now to hand them over. So, it can be guessed that such resources ca into play because of this woman nad Xia Yue.

Moreover, there’s this project that the dical departnt suddenly assigned to collaborate with the Xia family on.

All these signs point to the importance of Xia Yue in this scenario.

As for Xia Xi, she’s probably more than she appears to be. Chu Lan had heard a long ti ago that Wen Ziyin had a junior sister, more skilled than him. She used to reside in Qingshan City but was recently transferred to Kyoto, becoming the young leader of the Special Departnt in no ti.

The Xia family must be blessed; they got two such talented granddaughters all at once.

Given how well they got along, and assuming there are no unnecessary complications, this could be a great boon for the Xia family.

In just a short while, Chu Lan pondered a lot.

Xia Yue and Xia Xi rely smiled at the complints.

Neither is much of a chatterbox, especially with strangers - they struggle to hold a conversation then.

Thankfully, Bai Yuran returned soon with food and drink, lightening the mood.

"Auntie Lan, I brought so of your favorites. Give them a try," Bai Yuran gently offered her plate to Chu Lan, smiling softly.

"Thank you, Yuran," Chu Lan responded, accepting the plate and eating in tiny bites.

Xia Yue and Xia Xi sped up their eating.

After both finished their als, they wiped their mouths and glanced at Chu Lan and Bai Yuran, saying, "Enjoy your al, Mrs. Chu, Miss Bai. Xia Xi and I were thinking of saying hi to so others."

"Take your ti," Xia Xi responded with a smile.

"All right," Chu Lan responded, nodding. She had figured out that these two were slightly sociophobic and weren’t comfortable chatting with others. She wasn’t going to give them a hard ti.

Having grabbed their empty plates, Xia Yue and Xia Xi quickly distanced themselves.

They handed their plates to a servant and, wearing a small smile, headed toward the crowd in the banquet hall.

They greeted people, nodding and saying hello. If they knew soone’s surna, they would call out the person’s surna followed by their title or kinship.

Xia Xi followed Xia Yue’s lead.

After a round of greetings, they made their way to Xia Yu.

"Brother, we’ve already made the rounds. Can I go feed my cat and take a rest now?" Xia Yue asked Xia Yu quietly.

"Go ahead. In an hour, co back to make another appearance. Xia Xi, do you want to stay here and et people, or go feed the cats with Yueyue?" Xia Yu signaled Xia Yue to proceed before turning to Xia Xi with his question.

"I’ll go with Xia Yue," Xia Xi quickly responded.

"Alright then, off you go," Xia Yu nodded.

Xia Yue led Xia Xi to the back kitchen where they gathered so food and headed to the backyard, away from the crowd.

"Do you know where they are?" Xia Xi asked Xia Yue.

"Yes, follow ." Xia Yue nodded; she had already asked the system.

After a few twists and turns, they found themselves in a corner of the old man’s garden.

There they found the system and the Spiritual Cat lounging on a rock, a phone lying on the system cat’s stomach, both cats intently watching its screen.

Only when Xia Yue and Xia Xi approached did the two cats look up, and owed at them in acknowledgnt.
