1687 Becoming The Noble Daughter Of The Xia Family

Qiao Xi had an indifferent expression, while Old Madam Xia’s expression was extremely ugly. “Xi Xi, I personally came to bring you home, but this is your attitude? Didn’t your mother teach you how to respect your elders?”

Qiao Xi’s face turned cold. “My mother passed away a long time ago. Indeed, no one educated me. I wasn’t a child raised by you, so it’s normal that you don’t like me. There’s no need for you to bring me home.”

Yin Lianyi was instantly infuriated and glared at her fiercely. Xia Chunyu, who was at the side, hurriedly said, “Sister Xi Xi, Grandma is your elder. How can you speak to Grandma like this?”

Xia Chunyu walked in front of Qiao Xi and held her hand. “As a junior, you have to know how to respect your elders. Quickly apologize to Grandma.”

Before Qiao Xi could speak, Gu Zheng suddenly chuckled. “Old Madam Xia, Xi Xi can go back with you, but she has to go back as the eldest daughter of the Xia family. The entire Xia family has to respect her. If she suffers in the Xia family, I’m afraid the Xia family will lose their dignity.”

Xia Chunyu’s and Old Madam Xia’s expressions instantly changed.

Old Madam Xia gritted her teeth and suppressed the anger in her heart. “Alright, I’ll announce Xi Xi’s identity. Don’t worry about this. After Xi Xi returns to the Xia family, she’ll be the legitimate eldest daughter. I’ll strictly restrain Chunyu and won’t let her find trouble with Xi Xi again.”

Gu Zheng smiled and nodded. “I hope you’ll remember what you said, Old Madam Xia. Other than that, I also hope you can hold a banquet for Xi Xi and invite the wealthy families in the capital to attend.”

Yin Lianyi’s expression flickered. She gritted her teeth and said, “Alright! From now on, Xi Xi is the noblest daughter of the Xia family. Everyone has to respect her.”

Xia Chunyu’s body went soft. Old Madam Xia’s words seemed to have slapped her hard. Qiao Xi was the noblest daughter of the Xia family, so what about her? She had been the daughter of the Xia family for more than 20 years. All the socialites in the capital tried to curry favor with her. If Qiao Xi returned to the Xia family, she would be replaced. Those socialites would definitely laugh at her!

Qiao Xi! Xia Yunqiu! They were both b*tches!

After the matter was settled, Old Madam Xia left. As soon as she left the villa, Xia Chunyu cried, “Grandma, you don’t dote on me anymore! And Gu Zheng hates me too. I can’t compare to Qiao Xi in anything!”

Yin Lianyi patiently comforted her, saying, “Chunyu, I had no choice. For the sake of the Xia family’s reputation, I could only agree to his request for the time being.”

Back then, Xia Yunqiu was extremely talented and left a deep impression on everyone in the capital. Qiao Xi was her daughter, so the Xia family had to take her seriously. Otherwise, they would definitely be gossiped about. Most importantly, the blood in Qiao Xi’s body was very useful.

“Chunyu, you must calm down. Don’t forget that the capital is our territory. When she goes to the capital, you can do whatever you want to her. I did promise her that I would hold a banquet, but it’ll be your birthday soon after we return to the capital. At that time, your birthday banquet will be held on the same day as the acknowledgment banquet. Everyone will come to congratulate you on your birthday, so naturally, no one will go to her banquet.”

Hearing this, Xia Chunyu instantly laughed. “Grandma, you’re really awesome! Then can you invite Gu Zheng to my birthday party?”

Yin Lianyi looked at Xia Chunyu and sighed helplessly. “Chunyu, Gu Zheng isn’t suitable for you. It’s better not to force him.”

Back then, Zishan and Yunqiu fell in love with the same man, which was why so many things happened. In the end, both daughters died unnaturally. Hence, Yin Lianyi had a feeling that if Chunyu insisted on pursuing Gu Zheng, it would definitely not end well.

“Grandma, I really like Gu Zheng. Back then, when Mom liked Young Master Situ, didn’t you help her? Help me now!” Xia Chunyu’s eyes were filled with pleading, then she cried. “I’m just unconvinced. Back then, the person who was engaged to Young Master Situ was Xia Yunqiu. Now, the person who’s married to Gu Zheng is Qiao Xi. Why can the mother and daughter easily snatch away my and Mom’s lovers?”

Yin Lianyi could not help but fall into her memories. This scene was indeed familiar. Back then, Zishan had also knelt in front of her and cried. Why did Xia Yunqiu snatch her lover while she had to come to the capital?

On the other hand, the news of Qiao Xi’s decision to go to the capital had spread to the Yin family. The Yin family immediately decided to send their entire family to the capital, while Gu Zheng handed all the company’s matters to Gu Yao to manage so that he could accompany Qiao Xi to the capital.

The world of Li City had long belonged to Gu Zheng. Everyone was eyeing Gu Corporation covetously, wanting to take a share of the loot while Gu Zheng was not around. However, they had underestimated Gu Yao. He was indeed an ignorant and incompetent good-for-nothing in the past, but that was all an act. Now, he was more than able to take charge.
