I'm a Transmigrated Woman Who Is the CEO's Arranged Bride

Chapter 197: The Professor's Long Article

……

The stars escorted them home.

The stars illuminate those who cannot sleep.

The stars twinkled, and the night was long.

Professor Xia and his wife still cannot contact their daughter.

Xia Xiao immediately blocked them.

Xia Xiao is a celebrity, and Ouyang Si specially set up a company for her, with an agent, bodyguards, assistants, and everyone revolving around her.

Professor Xia Qingshan and Ms. Xu Shuxian then discovered that their daughter had blocked them, and they could no longer even see her.

Xia Xiao had this problem since she was a child. When she had a falling out with a classmate, she would block the classmate and then unblock them when she felt better. She had a bit of an avoidant personality; she would do the thing, but she would avoid the consequences.

Ms. Xu Shuxian dotes on her daughter to the point of spoiling her; she feels that raising her daughter is like raising herself all over again.

She spoiled herself and demanded that Professor Xia spoil her as well. If Professor Xia criticized her, Xu Shuxian would throw a tantrum, become unhappy, and act spoiled. After all four of these things happened, Professor Xia would forget about the criticism.

As a result of Xia Xiao's current personality, the couple has been unable to contact their biological daughter.

The relationship was unilaterally severed publicly.

I wanted to go to the residential area where Xia Xiao lived to find her, but I couldn't even get into the gate.

This is a wealthy area, and we're keeping an eye out for paparazzi, fans, and poor relatives like you who might get involved.

Both of them are lying in the hospital.

It was just a case of anger overload; things were a bit bad at the time, but I recovered quickly.

As we all know, anyone who has ever fainted knows that they will suffer serious health problems afterward, and are prone to stroke and heart attack, because such trauma is irreversible.

To some extent, she may have had a short period of breathing pause after fainting.

If a very young child faints and stops breathing, even if they are saved, they are very likely to become mentally disabled.

Human organs are both incredibly powerful and incredibly fragile.

Xu Shuxian was especially angry. She had raised eagles all her life, only to have her eyes pecked out by one.

She raised her daughter as if she were herself, making up for everything and giving her the best of everything. Yet she said she would let her go hungry. Xu Shuxian, who was always so prone to twisting the truth, was furious.

I truly experienced what it feels like to be wronged.

Professor Xia was disheartened.

There are many things that you might think he doesn't understand, but that's impossible. As a renowned professor, he's knowledgeable in every aspect, from his speech and demeanor to his actions. He's also a graduate of a prestigious university and has a sharp mind.

He simply enjoyed the tenderness and affection of his wife and daughter, and liked this kind of life. The satisfaction he had made him ignore his ex-wife and biological son.

It was also Ms. Xu Shuxian's good intentions to nip things in the bud. She made a scene from the beginning, setting up a sign for Professor Xia: whenever his ex-wife and son from his previous marriage were mentioned, she would cause a scene, get angry, and end up in the hospital, but never mention his usual gentle, kind, beautiful, and charming nature. Eighty percent of men would have ignored it because they found it too troublesome.

Besides, Professor Xia actually donated the money, so he felt he had a clear conscience.

Those who have been through divorce proceedings know that the law doesn't mechanically apply the 20%-30% ratio to extremely high-income individuals, as this would far exceed the child's actual needs. There is a "high-income adjustment" principle in the judiciary: if the payer's income is significantly higher than average, child support is limited to meeting the child's reasonable and normal living needs. Some legal provisions state that "unless there are special circumstances, it generally should not exceed 3000 yuan/month" (this is the standard in Shanghai). Professor Xia's child support payments were based on this, and he felt perfectly justified in paying 3000 yuan.

In reality, he had no money; his wife managed most of the family income, spending a significant amount on beauty and clothing.

Professor Xia is a bit arrogant and can't let go of his pride, so Ms. Xu easily coaxed him out of his money.

Fortunately, his parents have a high pension. I'm not afraid to tell you, but Professor Xia is still living off his parents.

He gives all his money to his wife and children, and then lives off his parents.

In some ways, Professor Xia was also spoiled growing up, and his tendency to shirk responsibility and avoid hard work has been passed down to Xia Xiao.

Professor Xia couldn't bring himself to cause trouble for his daughter; that would be too shrewish, and he was rather high-minded.

Scholars are often aloof and proud; when they get angry, they write articles to curse others.

So, fueled by anger and physical weakness, Professor Xia publicly published an article on his Weibo account:

"Blood and Bones, and the South Wall—A Reply to My Daughter Xia's Public Letter"

My daughter, seeing this letter is like seeing you in person—though I know you don't read it, as you've never been fond of reading.

I woke up coughing in the early morning and saw that your news was trending again, but as your father, I can't comfort you like I used to.

In the darkness, I remember you as a child, nestled on my lap, asking me why it was dark. Now that you've grown up, you not only walk into the darkness yourself, but you've also blown out this old lamp of mine.

Everyone says you are the apple of my eye. To send you abroad to study, your father, my parents, and I have all spent our savings. I don't like socializing, but in order for my daughter to eat well and be happy abroad, I go around giving lectures, showing off my literary talent and my old face.

I treated you like a princess, while my son dropped out of school and was adrift at sea, facing the waves and danger of losing his life at any moment. I was wrong.

Today you publicly severed ties with your family, saying that your family of origin was your first prison, and I am speechless.

I poured all my wealth into raising you, nurturing your confidence and pride. You have no scars on your body. When you fell off the table as a child, I lay on the ground to cushion your fall, not wanting you to get hurt or suffer. I gave you all the good things, which fostered your selfish personality today. You feel that anyone who doesn't favor you is wrong, and you can discard those who are extremely fond of you when they are no longer useful. It's my fault.

I've taught all my life, yet I can't teach you how to write the character for "person"—that's my fault.

Your brother has had a difficult life, growing up without a father, but he has grown into a "human being." He resents me, and I accept that, which is comforting.

I have never raised him; I have always favored you, and I would give you all the water in the world.

Perhaps this is my retribution.

Since you've already abandoned me as your father, I'll just consider it a waste of time and effort to raise you, this phoenix.

This time, I was sent to the hospital because of you.

While on my sickbed, I thought a lot and worried about the unexpected. I decided to give this house near X University to my son, Xia Yu. This house is not my and my wife's joint property. My wife has high daily expenses and keeps her salary for herself. I basically have no money left over from my salary, so this is my parents' money. I will send the income certificate and transfer records together.

This is what I owe him, and it's the last bit of dignity I can retain as a human being.

You ruin your promising future, I'll cherish my remaining years and strength. If you become a big star in the future, I won't benefit from it; if you encounter difficulties, please don't look back.

If it's going to rain, and if a woman wants to sever ties, so be it.

I just have one sentence to say, as a final farewell:

When I named you "Xia Xiao," I hoped you would be as lush as summer and as clean as dawn. I wished you a life that is fiery but not scorching, clear-headed but not harsh.

You are now confused and mean-spirited. Your father has given you everything, and your mother loves you more than herself.

Farewell.

You're still a top star, but I just want to go back to being that ordinary teacher who could make the Book of Songs cry.
