Became a salted fish pretend heiress and handed over the system Chapter 729 - 715: See if There Are Any Spies

"So, where are you going?" Xia Yu asked with a smile, not feeling the slightest bit sorry.

"We’re planning to stay in a nearby town for a week. Are you coming with us, or are you going back?" Xia’s grandmother laid out their plan and asked him.

"I’ll stay with you guys. I have so things to think about," Xia Yu replied with a smile.

"Have you run into so trouble? That explains why you’ve co over at this ti," Xia’s grandfather said, frowning slightly. Whatever had brought him here must not be trivial.

"Why so serious? You’ll scare Xiaoyu. If the child wants to tell us, he will. If not, don’t push him," Xia’s grandmother scolded her husband with displeasure after hearing his tone.

"I’ve just run into so complicated issues and need to think carefully about my choices," Xia Yu explained.

"Xiaoyu, follow your heart’s desires. Even if you decide to quit your current job to seek out new challenges, grandmother will support you. You’re young, with many possibilities ahead of you. Besides, there are others in the family to hold the fort," Xia’s grandmother told him lovingly.

"I understand, grandma. I’ll think it over," Xia Yu responded, noding with a smile.

"But once you’ve made your choice, don’t give up easily. Don’t end up regretting it like your father, stuck between success and failure. If it weren’t for our family’s standing, he wouldn’t have achieved his current status by himself," Xia’s grandfather said sternly, though softly, having been warned earlier.

"I understand, Grandpa," Xia Yu nodded in agreent.

"Grandpa, my brother definitely won’t be like that," Xia Yue quickly interjected with a smile.

"That would be for the best," Xia’s grandfather said. He was very dissatisfied with Lin Song but usually kept it to himself because Lin Song was rather low-key around him.

"Take advantage of these few days to spend quality ti with Grandpa and Grandma, making them proud in front of other elders.

Show off how outstanding and filial a grandson you are, visiting them on your days off," Xia Yue said, laughing.

Having interacted with them often, Xia Yue had a good grasp of the ntality of the older generation.

"Yeah, especially in front of Old Master Yan. Grandpa can boast about it," Xia Xi agreed, nodding in consensus.

Xia Xi could tell that Old Master Yan and her Grandpa enjoyed their rivalry during the past few days.

"True, Old Yan’s grandson is here but can’t accompany him. Despite being busy, my grandson still cos to visit during his vacations. It’s obvious my life is better than his," Xia’s grandfather said nodding in agreent after hearing Xia Xi’s remark, then turned to Xia Yu:

"Stay by our side later. If I say anything, just back up and don’t speak out of turn."

"I understand, Grandpa," Xia Yu nodded helplessly, finding their behavior quite childish, but he didn’t dare refuse. Otherwise, he would get an earful in private.

"Who’s taking care of your work while you’ve been here for so long?" Xia’s grandfather asked curiously.

"Xia Tian has just graduated, right? Uncle started training him today. I’ve handed off part of my work to him and asked Uncle to oversee the rest.

This will also help him get up to speed quickly and share so of the responsibilities in the future," Xia Yu said.

"Hmm, that’s fine," Xia’s grandfather nodded in approval.

Xia Yue, Xia Xi, and Xia Yu stayed for an hour before leaving.

"What exactly is Xiaoyu dealing with? I feel like there’s sothing off about them," Xia’s grandfather voiced his concerns to his wife after they had left.

"He’ll talk when he’s ready. Xiaoyu is reliable," Xia’s grandmother told her husband. But she had just held Xia Yu’s hand and sensed a strength in him; she felt that this might be the issue troubling him.

Yet, fearing she might be wrong, she didn’t voice her thoughts.

Now, not only could she not understand her grandson, but she also was sowhat puzzled by her granddaughters. She couldn’t see through their fates any longer.

Ever since arriving at the resort area, there were many people she couldn’t figure out.

She suspected that none of these people were simple, but they treated Xia Xi well.

All this she had not discussed with the old man.

After splitting up, Xia Yue and Xia Xi returned to the Main Courtyard.

"You’re back. I heard Zheng Tang was poaching your brother at the Dining Hall?" Yan Mo sat in the courtyard with a laptop, seemingly enjoying working outdoors for so reason.

"Xia Xi and I took my brother to see Grandma and Grandpa to tell them he’ll be accompanying them for the next few days.

You weren’t there at the ti; you have no idea how funny it was. The way Manager Zheng was trying to poach my brother, his pitch was pretty much like those sales spiels, and it was so awkward it had us all in stitches," Xia Yue went over and sat opposite him, sharing the anecdote and bursting into laughter at the recollection.

"Sounds like I missed out. So, what’s your brother thinking?" Yan Mo chuckled along with her, appearing sympathetic, then asked about Xia Yu’s decision.

"I’m not sure, but I think he’ll stay. He’s just feeling torn right now," Xia Yue inferred that her brother aspired to beco stronger, but he was simply indecisive at the mont.

"Yeah, having him here would ease our workload. After all, we’re not professionals when it cos to staff managent, but your brother is more specialized in that area," Yan Mo nodded in agreent.

"I estimate by tomorrow night at eight, all tourists will have left. When will the old Master and Mistress move? Have they ntioned it? Should we offer to help?" Xia Yue asked him.

"Their plan is for us to move their stuff over, just so clothes and daily necessities. They’ll head straight there after dinner tomorrow," Yan Mo explained.

"Yeah, that’s doable," Xia Yue agreed.

"They’ll pack what they need tonight, and tomorrow Zheng Tang will have soone take it over to arrange everything

After dinner, we’ll take them over. What do you think?" Yan Mo looked at her as he asked.

"No problem with that," Xia Yue nodded.

"Once they’ve moved, we’ll begin securing the periter of the resort area. The staff hired for the Comrcial Street will co in for training. We’ve got secrecy agreents set up for them. Here, take a look," Yan Mo indicated the agreents turned upside down on the table and said to her.

"I’d like to have a look too, to help you spot any moles that might have slipped in," the System appeared, jumping onto the table and addressing them.

"You can tell just from their docunts?" Xia Yue asked curiously.

"I’m connected to your world’s network. If I scan their data into my database, I can access all their information—unless they’re complete primitives who don’t use the internet or digital paynts," the System replied.
