Armor Guardians

Chapter 141 Decision
After the party ended, Xia Qianmeng and Xia Qianxue were the first to leave because they had some things to take care of.

For example... ask your bartender, Darko, if you can continue working as a bartender.

After all, Xia Qianmeng felt that the treatment here was quite good. It was just bartending, not tiring, and the salary was decent.

"Didn't you already leave the film crew? What are you doing here mixing drinks?"

Reality is cruel. After hearing what Darko said to her, Xia Qianmeng knew that her desire to stay was over.

But unfortunately, the other party was his teacher, and it wasn't the other party who expelled him.

Therefore, Xia Qianmeng harbored no resentment towards Darko and even said goodbye to him when she left.

"Sister, it's just a little money. Our family isn't short of money."

On the way back, seeing Xia Qianmeng so absent-minded, Xia Qianxue couldn't help but speak up.

"Is that so? That makes sense."

Xia Qianmeng gave a somewhat helpless answer. It seems that if she wants to achieve financial freedom, she still needs to find a job again, but not now.

That's right, Xia Qianmeng has a very important thing waiting for her to do now.

That is to find Dr. R, who has already fled to who-knows-where, and then take revenge.

Otherwise, do you really think she's someone to be trifled with?
As the father of two daughters, how could Xia Wei feel at ease letting his two daughters walk home alone at night?

So when he went back, he told Xia Qianxue to call him when she came back and he would come pick her up.

And that's exactly what Xia Qianxue did.

So Xia Qianmeng and Xia Qianxue walked for a while, and then they saw their father drive up to pick them up.

However, the perceptive Xia Qianmeng noticed something: her father's expression seemed rather unwell.

Is it because of the news just now?

Xia Qianmeng guessed that this was the problem.

Sure enough, when Xia Wei brought Xia Qianmeng and Xia Qianxue home, they found that their mother, Xu Fangying, didn't look too well.

"Xiao Meng is back? Have some tea, it can help with the hangover."

Upon seeing her two daughters return, Xu Fangying's expression instantly changed, and she put on a bright smile.

Xia Qianmeng did not refuse her mother's kindness and sat on the sofa to drink the tea her mother had prepared for her.

Although... she didn't drink much at all.

But a mother is a mother, she pays attention to such details.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Qianmeng finally spoke up: "Father, Mother, are you troubled by the news just now? Do you have any plans?"

Hearing that Xia Qianmeng had discovered the problem, Xia Wei stopped pretending and resumed his worried expression: "Whether or not to return to the Dragon Group is not a big issue. What I'm afraid of is that Dr. R has the greatest hatred for our family. I'm afraid he will come to retaliate against us."

“After all, we are in the light, and they are in the dark,” Xia Wei sighed before adding.

"If he dares to come, I can make sure he doesn't leave alive."

Xia Qianmeng put down her teacup and said confidently, and she wasn't just boasting; she truly had the ability. Seeing her eldest daughter so outstanding, it was impossible for Xu Fangying, as a mother, not to feel gratified.

However, there are always exceptions.

Therefore, Xu Fangying was not afraid of upsetting Xia Qianmeng. Instead, she carefully reminded her: "Xiaomeng, we know you are very capable, but you are weak on your own. It would be bad if they had any tricks up their sleeves."

"Yes, I'll think about that," Xia Qianmeng replied.

Moreover, Xia Qianmeng felt that her mother was right, because last time, wasn't she tricked?

Although the ending wasn't too tragic, it still served as a wake-up call for Xia Qianmeng.

As they chatted, the family's conversation veered off course, and Xia Qianmeng was the first to realize it: "What about you guys? Are you going back to the Dragon Group?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Wei and Xu Fangying exchanged a glance before looking at Xia Qianmeng and replying, "Yes, we'll have it."

Although she had already guessed that this would be the case, Xia Qianmeng still felt a little disappointed after hearing it.

It's just that their family had such a warm and loving day.

Seemingly aware of what his eldest daughter was thinking, Xia Wei quickly offered a satisfactory explanation: "Right now, we don't know where Dr. R is hiding, so your mother and I think it's safer to stay with the Dragon Group. At least there are guards there than at home. And one last thing..."

As he spoke, Xia Wei suddenly paused.

"What else?" Xia Qianxue, who could no longer contain her patience, pressed on.

"That means the research equipment from the Dragon Group is far more advanced than what we have at home. It's not just the equipment, but also the materials. Some of these are things that ordinary people can't get their hands on."

Xia Wei sighed. Returning to the Dragon Group was actually a very helpless situation.

Xia Qianmeng and Xia Qianxue knew that their parents were still doing scientific research at home, and they understood when they heard their father say that.

As for Xia Qianmeng, she has a phobia of the Dragon Group, so joining it is impossible for her. Her parents seem to know this and don't ask any further questions.

Finally, let's see if Xia Qianxue is willing to go back to the Dragon Group.

Seeing that everyone in the family was looking at her, Xia Qianxue knew what they were curious about, so she replied, "I want to go back to the Dragon Group, for the same reason as my father: there are more cultivation resources there, and I want to catch up with my sister as soon as possible."

Xia Qianxue's words are truly unconventional.

That's right. When Xia Qianxue joined the Dragon Group before, she was lazy because she had the Vermilion Bird Armor, a powerful tool that could enhance her attack power to deal with alien beasts.

But now that the alien beasts are getting stronger, she has realized her own shortcomings, so she can no longer slack off like this.

She would silently strive to emulate her sister's example, and then make a name for herself in a spectacular way, Xia Qianxue thought firmly to herself.

Xia Qianmeng was stunned for a moment, then she patted her sister's head helplessly and said, "Since you want to go back, then go back. Good luck, I support you."

"Yes, thank you, sister. You're so kind!"

As they chatted sweetly, Xia Qianxue sat down next to Xia Qianmeng and snuggled against her, looking every bit like sisters.

Seeing their two daughters like this, Xia Wei and Xu Fangying exchanged a glance.

Then they all smiled, thinking it was great that Xia Qianmeng was able to come back, even if it was as a girl.
