Chapter 24: Parents are back?
Hearing Ding Jing's concerned words, Xia Qianmeng felt a warmth in her heart, so she smiled wryly and said, "I'm fine, let's switch shifts now~"

Xia Qianmeng's voice began to become hoarse, but that was fine, as it allowed her to cover up her increasingly melodious and clear voice that was becoming more and more feminine.

Ding Jing was well aware that Xia Qianmeng was forcing herself to stay, but seeing Xia Qianmeng's persistence, she felt embarrassed to expose her.

So, Ding Jing had no choice but to continue as usual, spending several hours with Xia Qianmeng before going home.

There was no air conditioning in the convenience store, so Xia Qianmeng shivered from the cold at night. Even when there were no customers, she couldn't fall asleep because of the cold.

As a result, Xia Qianmeng's sleep quality deteriorated, and consequently, her health also declined.

The two Dragon Group members who were secretly monitoring Xia Qianmeng began to doubt Xia Qianxue's words. After a month of surveillance, they didn't think Xia Qianmeng was very rich. On the contrary, they felt that Xia Qianmeng was very pitiful.

If Xia Qianmeng was faking it, then she's truly remarkable.

During this month, the two members of the Dragon Group did not find that Xia Qianmeng had come into contact with anyone who was suspected of being a summoner of the Candlelight Armor, because in their opinion, the summoners chosen by the armor were all exceptionally talented in martial arts, while those that Xia Qianmeng came into contact with were all too ordinary.

Furthermore, they discovered that Xia Qianmeng's life was very simple; she moved between three different places and worked almost 24 hours a day.

Gradually, the two members of the Dragon Group also stopped wanting to monitor her, because they were not only tired but also bored with living like Xia Qianmeng.

Three days later, Xia Qianmeng finally got to wear the clean cotton coat she had picked up from the junkyard. Although the coat was old and didn't have much cotton inside, Xia Qianmeng felt very content to have clothes to wear.

Days passed by like this, and Xia Qianmeng calculated the time. Her younger sister, Xia Qianxue, should be on vacation soon. Since her sister was coming back, Xia Qianmeng naturally wouldn't let her live in that house without electricity, so she felt it was time to pay the electricity bill.

At the same time, a middle-aged couple arrived at Xia Qianmeng and Xia Qianxue's house. The man skillfully took out his key and opened the door...

Da da da~
The man pressed the light switch a few times, only to find that the light didn't turn on. Then, without any surprise, he said to his wife, "It seems Xiaoxue was right, Xiaomeng didn't pay the electricity bill."

That's right, the middle-aged couple are actually Xia Qianmeng and Xia Qianxue's parents, Xia Wei and Xu Fangying.

Xia Wei is currently the deputy director of a research institute under the Dragon Group, and his wife, Xu Fangying, is his assistant, making them quite a prominent figures.

It turns out that Xia Wei and Xu Fangying were just new junior researchers at the institute, so their salaries weren't very high.

However, shortly after becoming researchers, they suddenly received an urgent mission notification from their superiors, which forced them to leave.

However, because the notification stated that the completion time of the task was uncertain, the couple guessed that it would only take about a year, which is why Xia Qianmeng had the bank card.

However, to Xia Wei's surprise, this task lasted for three years. During those three years, Xia Wei overcame numerous difficulties and led the other researchers forward.

So, after completing the task, he successfully became one of the five deputy directors of the research institute. As for the director, that would be Dr. R, of course.
