Chapter 222

Chen Jia quickly packed her luggage. Wen Yan had so little that she could barely get a set of clothes without patches. Chen Jia took only five minutes to bring all her certificates and schoolbooks and left the cramped apartment.

The location of Sikong's house is very easy to inquire. He asked as he walked along the road. It took him nearly three hours to walk nearby and walk by step. It's not that Chen Jia deliberately pretended to be poor to win Sikong Yan's sympathy, but that the change in his pocket can't even afford to take the bus.

When we arrived near Sikong's house, it was already dark. The Sikong family lives in the south of the city. Last time, they landed directly at the door of the main house by aircraft. Chen Jia didn't notice the whole picture of the house. This time, he saw that the place here was as big as a palace city. There were countless courtyards and gates inside and outside. If the buildings were not modern, Chen Jia almost thought he had arrived at the Forbidden City.

Before he got close to the door, he was found by the security system of Sikong's house. Someone came up and asked, "who are you?"

The man obviously had the rules of the Sikong family. He was polite to ask questions, but with a little vigilance.

Chen Jia hesitated for a moment, thinking that she could barely say two words by her relationship with Xiaobai, so she said, "Hello, I'm Xiaobai's adoptive father."

"Xiaobai?" the man was stunned.

"It's the child adopted by Mr. sikongyan a few days ago."

"Oh, you mean master Sikong mubai."

It turned out that the Sikong family had named Xiaobai. Chen Jia immediately thought of a possibility that the Sikong family recognized the child's identity so soon. It must have been identified by blood. Is it true that there was a dew marriage between Wen Yan and Si kongyan? Unfortunately, Wen Yan's memory has been blurred since the car accident. Chen Jia doesn't know the truth at this time, so she can only temporarily press the doubt in her heart.

He said to the bodyguard, "yes, it's master Sikong mubai. I'm his adoptive father, Wen Yan."

With a trace of contempt in his eyes, the bodyguard probably thought he came to take advantage of him as an adoptive father, but out of politeness, he said, "please wait here, Mr. Wen. I'll ask general Sikong for instructions."

"Thank you."

The bodyguard didn't mean to invite him in. Chen Jia had to wait at the door of the house. He didn't know how long he stood. After walking for three hours, his feet had long been too painful. So he sat on the edge of the garden at the door for a while. As soon as he sat down, he felt tired and sleepy. He unconsciously fell asleep against the stone pier on the edge of the garden.

When she woke up again, she was awakened by the cold wind. The sky was already slightly bright. Obviously, the bodyguard who went to ask Sikong Yan for instructions was brought about. Chen Jia slept at the gate of Sikong's house all night.

He barely moved his numb legs, stood up and felt dizzy. The bodyguards of Sikong's family probably changed their shifts, not the ones he met last night. But the new face didn't mean to say hello. Obviously, he was rejected by the Sikong family.

Thinking so, a housekeeper came out with great courtesy. He walked up to Wen Yan and said, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Wen. I just heard about your visit and your poor reception. Please forgive me."

Chen Jiaxin understood how strict the family rules of Sikong's family were. How could she let the guests wait at the door all night? Do the people below act according to the attitude of the people above? Si kongyan probably didn't welcome his arrival. As for the reason for this unpopularity, Chen Jia couldn't figure out for a moment.

He didn't know that Sikong Yan had witnessed his communication with Ling zikun for many times and had long believed that he was a person who followed suit. The Sikong family has a big family and a great career. They are used to seeing too many people who pursue profits. Sikong Yan really doesn't have the slightest favor for such people.

Chen Jia looked at the housekeeper in front of her and said, "sorry for the poor reception", but there was no apology in her eyes, just cold politeness and alienation. According to his former temperament, he would have left without saying a word, but now his situation is different. He feels numb when he thinks of Ling zikun. If he wants to face Ling zikun alone, he might as well hide in Sikong's house and eat more white eyes!

Thinking of this, Chen Jia shamelessly pulled up a smile: "it's all right. I just want to see Xiaobai."

"Master mubai hasn't got up yet. Now that Mr. Wen has come, go inside and wait." the housekeeper asked him to go in.

Chen Jiagan smiled and followed the housekeeper into Sikong's house.

It was still early. The master of the Sikong family didn't get up. Only the servants were busy. The housekeeper invited him to the side hall, made a cup of hot tea and went to do his own business.

Chen Jia took a sip of hot tea and was excited by the heat. He even sneezed a few times and a headache came up. He thought bitterly - isn't it a cold?

I didn't know how long I had been waiting in the side hall. I just heard some maids muttering somewhere.

"I heard that master mubai's adoptive father has come?"

"Yes, but general Sikong said that young master mubai's adoptive father is not a kind man. He doesn't want young master mubai to contact him again."

"What do you say?"

"In fact... Yesterday I went to the central square to play with master mubai. I saw that master mubai's adoptive father was very close to the little master of the Ling family."

"You mean the famous Playboy Ling zikun? The Ling family is the sworn enemy of the Sikong family in the military headquarters!"

"Yes! That man is very close to Ling zikun. At first glance, it's not normal. General Sikong certainly wants to take care of him."

"No wonder..."

When Chen Jia heard this, she finally understood that the relationship between the Ling family and the Sikong family was not good. But yesterday, Sikong Yan witnessed the scene of being entangled by Ling zikun, resulting in a misunderstanding. No wonder Sikong Yan now repels himself.

At this time, the housekeeper told the servants, "the general gets up and brings breakfast."

The muttering maid hurriedly left. Chen Jia sat up straight and thought that Sikong Yan might call herself, but she didn't know how long to wait and had no news. It was not until half a day later that the housekeeper came and said with apology: "I'm really sorry. General Sikong left in a hurry. Master mubai also went to school with him. Why don't you come another day..."

Chen Jia knew clearly that she had just figured out the reason for the matter. It was impossible to imagine Si kongyan clarifying his relationship with Ling zikun face to face, but sometimes it was more effective to beat around the Bush than to say it frankly. Chen Jia thought for a moment and had an idea in her heart.

He still smiled and said, "in that case, let me wait here? I really want to see Xiaobai."

The housekeeper's eyes flashed with impatience. He probably hadn't seen such an illiterate person. He asked, "but master mubai won't come back until the afternoon. Besides, don't Mr. Wen need to go to class?" he remembered that he was still a college student.

There was a flash of panic in Chen Jia's eyes. It seemed that she was worried about the school. The panic was seen by the housekeeper.

He took out his book and said, "no... it doesn't matter. We don't have classes today. I'll wait in the side hall. You're busy. Don't greet me."

The steward of the Sikong family also knew countless people. At a glance, he knew that Wen Yan was lying, but he didn't poke it, nodded silently and immediately.

Chen Jia breathed out and thought that the housekeeper might be suspicious and send someone to check him. It would be better if he could find out that he was entangled by Ling zikun.
