She was reborn at that time. According to the original trajectory, she would have been in despair and misery after being hit by a car.
But even at that time, she hadn't heard of Xia Qingyu's biological father coming to look for her. Where was this righteous biological father when Xia Qingyu was eventually killed by Mo Jianing and Song Junhan?
Now, he was starting to suspect if he was using Xia Qingyu.
Xia Qingtian found it laughable and didn't bother to explain too much to Mr. Xiang. They were from different paths and could not plan together.
"Mr. Xiang, I respect you as Qingyu's biological father. If you have something to say, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush. I, [who possess no extraordinary abilities], can't keep up with detours." Xia Qingtian said with a smile to Mr. Xiang.
Hearing Xia Qingtian use his own words, Mr. Xiang's smile widened even further. "Miss Xia, I just want to express my gratitude as Qingyu's biological father."
"As I said, Qingyu is my sister, and taking care of her is what I should do," Xia Qingyu replied. "You don't need to thank me, Mr. Xiang."
"If Qingyu wasn't exceptionally talented and had no use, would Miss Xia still consider her a sister?" Mr. Xiang had already investigated.
Before Xia Qingtian got along harmoniously with Xia Qingyu, she was just a pampered, good-for-nothing heiress, indulged in shopping, parties, and being manipulated.
It was only after reconciling with Xia Qingyu that she began to show her capabilities, not only disrupting the organization's plans in country Z multiple times but also reaching an agreement with Mobius.
Mobius, the hacker genius who had always been in opposition to the organization.
According to the information held by the organization, Mobius was not very old.
If his suspicions were correct, then Xia Qingyu was the one behind Xia Qingtian.
To be even bolder, Mobius might also be a pseudonym for Xia Qingyu.
And Xia Qingyu's ultimate goal was to take revenge on him.
What a rebellious daughter.
But he didn't dislike it.
Capable people were qualified to be rebellious.
He always valued talent.
If Xia Qingyu was indeed that outstanding, he wouldn't mind tolerating her minor rebellions.
"Qingyu married into my family with her mother. Whether she is intelligent and outstanding or dull and ignorant, she is someone registered in our household, she is my sister." Xia Qingtian looked directly into Mr. Xiang's eyes. "If Qingyu wasn't exceptionally talented and had no use, would Mr. Xiang be wasting his time here with me?"
Hearing Xia Qingtian's words, Mr. Xiang felt, for the first time, like he had been retorted to the point of speechlessness.
He was only momentarily stunned before he quickly let out a light chuckle again. "Miss Xia's affection for Qingyu is Qingyu's good fortune."
"Mr. Xiang," Xia Qingtian said, curling her lips. "I don't want to talk about the past, nor do I intend to get involved. However, I hope you won't disrupt Qingyu's future."
Mr. Xiang looked at Xia Qingtian, his smile carrying an unclear meaning.
If he hadn't found out about the document Xia Qingyu had signed, automatically waiving her inheritance rights to all of the Xia family's assets, he might have truly believed Xia Qingtian was a good sister who doted on her sibling.
On one hand, she forced Xia Qingyu to give up her inheritance rights, and on the other, she exploited Xia Qingyu's intelligence and talent, and now she wanted to hypocritically put on an act in front of him.
Naïve, laughable.
"I will consider Miss Xia's suggestion." Mr. Xiang's smile remained unchanged, but in his heart, he had no intention of continuing the conversation with Xia Qingtian.
Since Mr. Xiang remained silent, Xia Qingtian didn't plan to say more.
Only when the car stopped outside the K&S exhibition hall did Xia Qingtian politely say thank you and immediately get out of the car and turn away.
The moment Xia Qingtian turned, the polite and amiable smiles on both her and Mr. Xiang's faces vanished simultaneously.
[This person is so annoying.]
This thought appeared in both their minds at the same time.
[I hate him too.] The system's sudden remark startled Xia Qingtian.
[Can you stop appearing out of nowhere? What about that beep prompt?] Xia Qingtian couldn't help but complain in her mind.
[Shall I add one now?] The system paused, and the familiar [Beep—] sound was heard.
Immediately after, the system continued to speak in Xia Qingtian's mind, [He gives me a very dangerous feeling, Host, you need to be careful!]
[Even you think he's dangerous?] Xia Qingtian's gaze shifted slightly, her brow furrowed.
Although she never understood what this system was all about.
But a system that could bring her back to life and claim to be [Omniscient Prophecy] must possess an immeasurable ability, far beyond what an ordinary human like Xia Qingtian could estimate.
If even the system found him dangerous, then this Mr. Xiang was indeed very problematic.
[I can't quite say...] The system's cute childish voice fell into contemplation. [It's just... very dangerous, very charming, I want to get closer but I'm a little uneasy...]
Listening to the system's description, Xia Qingtian's mouth twitched. [Are you describing him, or your own feelings? Why do I feel like you're about to fall into some strange romantic relationship?]
[Bah, bah, bah! Host is bullying me!] the system protested. [When this system was reigning supreme, what was he? If not for that damn Heavenly Dao... Ugh!]
Hearing this, Xia Qingtian could already imagine the system frantically covering its mouth with its hands after realizing it had said something wrong.
If it had hands...
[In short... in short...] the system stammered. [The Chosen System, at your service!]
After saying this, the system went silent again as if playing dead.
Xia Qingtian couldn't help but shake her head at the sound. This system was quite unreliable.
"Qing Tian, you also think these flowers aren't suitable, right?" Madame Camille's voice suddenly came from beside Xia Qingtian.
Xia Qingtian was startled and only then realized she had been standing at the exhibition entrance. She immediately looked at the person beside her and gave an awkward smile.
"Replace the flowers here, match the colors with the main venue, and adjust the lighting contrast between warm and cool. We still haven't achieved the effect I want." After Madame Camille instructed the staff following her, she smiled and linked arms with Xia Qingtian, walking inside. "I knew your aesthetic was always on point; you would immediately notice the problem with the flower arrangement at the exhibition entrance."
"Hehe..." Xia Qingtian forced a dry laugh. She hadn't noticed the flowers at all; she was just communicating with the system.
However, she didn't intend to explain and let Madame Camille lead her into the exhibition to familiarize herself with the entire display.
After working for several hours, Xia Qingtian checked the time and said, "I need to pick up my sister. I'll come earlier tomorrow, and we can chat again."
"It must be wonderful to be your sister," Madame Camille's smile was as elegant and charming as ever. "I still have a lot to do here, so I won't see you off."
Xia Qingtian smiled before driving towards the competition venue.
Upon arriving at the competition entrance, Xia Qingtian saw the familiar Rolls-Royce parked there. Xia Qingyu and Li Xiaozhong stood outside the car door, their expressions solemn and full of caution.
"Damn it, that guy surnamed Xiang dares to abduct my sister!" Xia Qingtian frowned as soon as she saw it from a distance. As soon as her car stopped, Xia Qingtian got out and rushed over, pulling Xia Qingyu into her arms. She then revealed a somewhat chilling smile towards the person inside the car, her tone a bit stiff. "Mr. Xiang, I believe I've already made myself very clear!"
