Chapter 1378: Two Fathers

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

As Xia Xibei’s “real father,” Qi Zhiqiang couldn’t bear to cross the daughter who could bring him more benefits.
It would be great if she could truly accept him as her father.
So, he would often call Xia Xibei to connect emotionally.
However, the contents of his call left Xia Xibei speechless every time.
At first, it was to tell her that she didn’t have to work so hard. That she could withdraw from the entertainment industry and come back, and that her family could make a good living for her.!!
Xia Xibei rejected this suggestion outright.
He said this twice more and Xia Xibei just hung up the phone, not giving him any grace.
Although he felt that Xia Xibei made him lose face, he still put up with it, because even if he wanted to play up his father’s prestige, Xia Xibei simply did not buy it.
Moreover, now that he wanted to please Xia Xibei, not the other way around, the relationship was not an equal one.
Therefore, he could only endure and not say such things afterwards.
He now understood that Xia Xibei was not like the naive young girls he usually met; her personality was tough.
Since this topic was off-limits, he brought up other topics.
For example, the matter of introducing a boyfriend to Xia Xibei.
Of course, Xia Xibei still refused.
She had already made her attitude clear to everyone by taking Qiao Yanjue to Qi’s house before.
In this situation, if he continued to bring up such a topic, how could Xia Xibei take it?
So, Xia Xibei just hung up the phone.
After a few times, Qi Zhiqiang also understood her bottom line and did not dare to mess around anymore.
Although he could no longer mention these topics, he was still her “father,” so he spent a lot of time asking about her health and work, hoping to close the distance between them.
If Xia Xibei hadn’t come to M, he might have bought Xia Xibei all kinds of things.
Xia Xibei was annoyed at this kind of father.
Although Qi Zhiqiang was not a good person, he was quite sensible.
In this case, she did not say anything harsh, only a few perfunctory words.
Unlike Qi Zhiqiang’s nonsense, Qi Zhi’an knew her interests.
Qi Zhi’an would not tell her what to do because he had long known that she was stronger than he thought and did not need anyone else to give advice.
Qi Zhi’an would ask about her daily life, then discuss spiritual plants with her.
Both sides communicated on this aspect and the relationship got better.
This time, when Qi Zhi’an called, he was naturally concerned about the shooting.
As expected, when she picked up the phone, Qi Zhi’an’s worried voice rang out, “Are you okay?”
“Of course I’m fine,” Xia Xibei shook her head, “It’s not like you don’t know. I’m fine.”
“That’s good,” Qi Zhi’an breathed a sigh of relief. “If there are any problems, you can tell me. I also have friends in M.”
“No need, I’m fine now,” Xia Xibei refused and laughed. “On the contrary, how are you guys? How are you doing now?”
“Pretty good. Everything is going well,” Qi Zhi’an laughed. “By the way, did you really turn down the offer from CG University?”
“Yeah,” Xia Xibei nodded, “My focus is in Hua, so it would be too much trouble to study here.”
Qi Zhi’an also nodded, “Indeed, it’s good to be at home. However, now that you’re training abroad, can you keep up with your studies? The college entrance exams are coming up in two months.”
“Absolutely, no problem.” Xia Xibei smiled confidently, then laughed, “How is Qi Xin doing?”
