Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Yin family stepped forward to refute the rumors, but there was no substantial evidence. It was hard to explain.

After Qiao Xi finished eating the cake, she wiped the cream off the corner of her mouth and revealed a satisfied smile. Even though she was sitting in the corner, she was still the center of attention.

At this moment, someone suddenly asked, “Old Master Xia, the official account of Xia Corporation has already released the news of Miss Xia and President Gu’s engagement. But President Gu and Mrs. Gu…”

Xia Cheng smiled kindly. “Everyone, you’re thinking too much. Of course, President Gu has agreed to this marriage. Otherwise, why would I dare to take matters into my own hands?”

At this moment, Xia Mengyan’s father, Xia Ji, and Xia Yunlou were also present. As Qiao Xi’s biological mother, Xia Yunlou was noticed by many reporters the moment she appeared.

When Xia Mengyan saw that her father and aunt were here, she hurriedly went forward with a blissful expression. When Xia Cheng saw his children, he immediately beamed. “Yunlou, Xia Ji.”

Qiao Xi sized up Xia Yunlou. She seemed to have become a little more mature and did not care about her adopted daughter, Xu Anran, anymore. She had a rare chance to return to the Xia family and start a new life. It was time for her to restrain herself.

Looking at the harmonious appearance of the Xia family, Qiao Xi could not help but narrow her eyes. She really did not understand. Xia Yunlou doted on Xu Anran so much and was very close to Xia Mengyan, but she was so cold to her biological daughter.

She sized up the Xia family and found it a little strange that everyone was here except for Xia Mengyan’s mother. Moreover, Xia Mengyan did not ask about her mother either. She seemed to be used to it. Qiao Xi heard that Madam Xia never attended any banquets and had always been reclusive. Qiao Xi even suspected that this person did not exist at all.

Xia Yun held Xia Mengyan’s hand and said with a loving expression, “Mengyan, don’t worry. You’re the legitimate Mrs. Gu! You’re the daughter of the Xia family who we’ve nurtured since you were young. Only you’re worthy of President Gu.”

Xia Mengyan blushed shyly, but she pretended to be troubled. “Aunt, you’re Xi Xi’s biological mother. If she finds out that you’re speaking up for me, she’ll definitely be sad. Moreover, she and Ah Zheng haven’t divorced yet. We—”

“I’m her biological mother, so I know her well. I know that she’s not worthy of being Mrs. Gu!” Xia Yunlou’s gaze turned fierce when she heard Qiao Xi’s name.

“Mengyan, just wait to be Mrs. Gu! She’ll have to give up her position sooner or later. The Lu family won’t even acknowledge her identity, so how can she continue to stay by President Gu’s side? Our Xia family is on good terms with the Lu family, and with the Lu family’s help, this position will be yours sooner or later!”

Actually, Xia Yunlou was also a little unwilling. At first, she planned to let Anran marry Gu Zheng. After all, she was the daughter she raised since she was young. However, ever since she was chased back to the Xia family and Xia Ji told her something, she decided to wholeheartedly help Mengyan rise to power.

Xia Yunlou comforted her in a low voice. “Xu Zhi and I haven’t divorced yet, so I’m still Madam Xu. The Jiang family and the Xu family are old friends. The two families are close. With the Lu family’s confirmation, this marriage will naturally succeed.”

Xia Ji also smiled and said, “Yunlou is right. Mengyan, just wait for your marriage!”

Qiao Xi looked at Xia Yunlou and could not help but sneer. Back then, this woman doted on Xu Anran like she was her own daughter. In the end, she heartlessly abandoned her. Now, Xu Anran was living like a street rat, but she did not care about her. Instead, she was concerned about Xia Mengyan.

In the Yin family’s memories, Xia Yunlou was kind and sensible when she was young. Although she was the youngest, she was very obedient. In order to not let her parents’ relationship fall apart, she took the initiative to leave home with her father when she was young. She was afraid that her siblings would be sad, so she decided to return home to accompany them. How did such a child become like this?

Xia Yunlou’s eyes were filled with viciousness and selfishness. She might have really loved Xu Zhi and doted on Xu Anran, but these two people were nothing compared to her. All her actions were for herself. For example, she was helping Xia Mengyan snatch her biological daughter’s engagement for the sake of wealth and benefits.

How could this woman be the obedient little girl described by the Yin family?

Qiao Xi felt that it was very strange. Before she could think clearly, someone suddenly blocked her line of sight. Xia Yunlou stood in front of her with a vicious gaze. When she thought about how she had been chased out of the house by Xu Zhi during this period of time and was mocked by the entire Luo City, she wished for nothing more than to tear Qiao Xi into pieces.
