Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 238 Like a Fool

Xu Daiqing's pupils contracted, her gaze involuntarily drifting to the bracelet on her wrist. Was Xu Jiahao about to break free of control? How could that be! Xu Jiahao was just an ordinary person; how could he possess such strong mental power!

"Xu Daiqing! Although we raised you for 19 years, you can never replace my biological daughter! Besides, we were separated from my daughter because of your mother! You want to stop my daughter from coming back! You are not qualified! Don't force me to sever our father-daughter relationship!" Xu Jiahao kicked the chair.

The chair overturned with a loud thud, making Xu Daiqing flinch. She glared at Xu Jiahao, her face darkening. The Xu family was utterly heartless! No matter what, she had been with them for so many years, hadn't she? Did Yang Nianqing's return mean she was nothing to them anymore?

Xu Daiqing looked at the fruit knife in the plate, picked it up, and decisively cut her hand. Her bloody hand gripped the bracelet, which absorbed her blood at a visible speed.

Xu Jiahao stared at her actions in shock. What was she doing? Before he could figure it out, his heart began to ache. He clutched his clothes, looking at her in disbelief. What was going on? The next moment, Xu Jiahao's head started to throb. He raised his hand to cover his head. What was happening?
After about five or six minutes, the pain gradually subsided. Xu Jiahao lowered his hand, his eyes filled with confusion. What had just happened to him? What was he going to ask again? Oh! He remembered now, he was going to ask Dai Qing why she posted that kind of Weibo post.

"Daiqing, why did you post that kind of Weibo?" Xu Jiahao asked in confusion, as if he didn't remember anything he had said to Xu Daiqing before.

Upon hearing this address, Xu Daiqing, who had been watching him nervously, breathed a sigh of relief and touched the bracelet again. Fortunately, the bracelet was not broken.

"Dad, it's a misunderstanding by netizens. I'm just posting an update because I haven't posted online in a long time, and my fans have been urging me to post. So I posted a picture of me having afternoon tea today, and also the things you and Mom bought for me last time. What's wrong?" Xu Daiqing asked, puzzled.

Xu Jiahao slapped his forehead. Was that so? It was a misunderstanding. Why was he so angry just now? What's wrong with him? Why does it feel like he's forgotten something? Noticing Xu Daiqing's hand, Xu Jiahao asked anxiously, "What happened to your hand?"

"Oh, I just cut myself while cutting fruit. The bleeding has stopped now. I'll just wrap it with a bandage," Xu Daiqing said with a smile, discreetly placing her hand under the table.

"Oh, I see..." Xu Jiahao said slowly, feeling a strange dullness and dizziness in his head.

Xu Daiqing frowned. The bracelet's control was indeed weaker. If it were before, Xu Jiahao would have been anxious to call the family doctor or take her to the hospital as soon as he found out she was injured like this. Why was he so indifferent?
She clenched her fist tightly on the hand with the bracelet on, her nails digging into her flesh and drawing blood. No, she couldn't just sit and wait to die like this. She absolutely couldn't let that woman Yang Nianqing take everything from her!
"Dad, I have an appointment with a friend. I'll go take care of my wound now and then go find her. I'll head out now," Xu Daiqing said with a smile.

“Hmm…” Xu Jiahao nodded slowly.

Xu Daiqing turned her back, her smile immediately vanishing, and walked towards the door with a cold expression.

Once they were out of Xu Jiahao's sight, Xu Daiqing dialed the phone number. "Beep...beep...beep...hello?" The call was answered shortly after, and a man's voice came through.

"Where are you?" Xu Daiqing asked in a cold voice.

"You never visit me unless you need something. What's wrong? What happened?"

"The bracelet you gave me isn't working very well anymore! Let's arrange a place, I'll come find you."

"You only think of me when you need something. I've sent you the address. Go ahead, I'll be there shortly."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Daiqing frowned in disgust. If she didn't still need his abilities, she really wouldn't want to see this man! How disgusting!
When Gu Tangtang and Gu Rongrong arrived near the Xu family's residence, Gu Tangtang finally finished reading the entire document.

"Oh my god! Oh my god! How could this happen? Oh my god, OMG!" Gu Tangtang exclaimed, covering her face with her hands.

"That's all you know, is that it?" Gu Rongrong glanced at her.

Gu Tangtang lowered her hand in a daze; her aunt seemed to have returned to normal. A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of the Xu family's house. Gu Rongrong rolled down the window, and the maid quickly opened the door for them.

As soon as the two entered, they saw Xu Jiahao sitting on the sofa rubbing his forehead.

"Xu Jiahao," Gu Rongrong called out.

Xu Jiahao looked up at her, and it took him a while to react, "Rongrong, you're back?"

Gu Rongrong frowned. Something about Xu Jiahao seemed off. Gu Rongrong shook her head. "Where's Xu Daiqing?"

"Huh?" Xu Jiahao paused for a moment, then slowly said after two minutes, "It seems... they went out..."

Gu Tangtang looked at him strangely. What was wrong with her uncle today? Why was he speaking so slowly? He seemed really odd.

Seeing Xu Jiahao like this, Gu Rongrong was still a little worried. She reached out and touched Xu Jiahao's forehead, "What's wrong! Are you sick?"

Xu Jiahao slowly shook his head and said, "It seems...no..."

“If it’s there, it’s there; if it’s not there, it’s not there. What do you mean by ‘it seems like it’s not there’?” Gu Rongrong said, frowning.

"Then... no..."

Gu Rongrong: "..." She was so angry at that tone.

"What's wrong with Uncle? He looks like he has brain damage." He looked dazed.

"I don't know either. Never mind, I won't ask him. I'll go ask someone else." Gu Rongrong shook her head and went to find other people.

After Gu Rongrong left, Xu Jiahao started rubbing his forehead, his eyes glazed over.

A short while later, Gu Rongrong returned and said, "They said she went out. I've already contacted the driver and know where she is now. We're going to find her now. I have to make things clear to her today!"

Gu Tangtang nodded and looked at Xu Jiahao, who was now looking completely dazed, "Uncle, what should we do?"

Gu Rongrong also looked at him, "He's acting like an idiot. Let's ignore him and go."

Pulling Gu Tangtang along, Gu Rongrong walked away without looking back. Gu Tangtang stumbled as she was pulled, and couldn't help but glance back at Xu Jiahao. Was he really that heartless? Why weren't her aunt and uncle being all lovey-dovey anymore?

As Xu Daiqing walked into a restaurant, she passed an open private room and saw a familiar face: Ren Chi, the director of the fantasy IP drama series in which she was about to play the female lead.

"Director Ren, it's been a long time."
