Chapter 525 If She Doesn’t Even Care About Her Biological Daughter, What Does She Care About?
“I don’t have a choice either. I didn’t plan on bringing her here, but I was afraid that she would be upset. I’ve been on tenterhooks the entire time!
“It’s only because Anran has a gentle character and doesn’t despise her younger sister that we agreed to let the child out after she begged us for a long time. In the end… As soon as the banquet started, this child disappeared! Anran is still sensible. Although she’s not related to us by blood, she’s more like the daughter of our Xu family.”
What Xia Yunlou meant was that although her biological daughter had returned home, the family still favored their adopted daughter. Her adopted daughter was kind, sensible, obedient, and a top socialite. Her biological daughter was vulgar and did not deserve to be the Xu family’s daughter. Hence, they could only give up on that child and focus on nurturing their adopted daughter.
Xia Yunlou pretended to be helpless. She felt that she was not showing any disgust on her face. In her mind, she just looked helpless.
However, when everyone heard her words, they remained silent and looked at them with disdain.
The guests were all famous people in high society. They had to mind their ident.i.ties and image outside, but at this moment, they especially wanted to say, ‘Does everyone in the Xu family suffer from brain damage?’
Madam Shen’s expression was cold. “So, it’s because your biological daughter is so naughty and doesn’t know etiquette that you let an adopted daughter take her place?”
Xia Yunlou could not help but be stunned. “Yes… that’s how it is. I wanted Xi Xi to follow me and show her face in front of everyone, but she kept running around and disappeared in the blink of an eye…”
“You dare to lie to me?” Madam Shen narrowed her eyes and slammed the table. Xia Yunlou was terrified to the point of trembling. She explained, “Madam Shen, I… I didn’t lie to you. Qiao Xi left by herself. I’m her biological mother, so how could I lie? She’s too naughty…”
“Mr. Xu, Madam Xu.”
At this moment, Butler Liu walked forward with a faint smile on his face. “There was a conflict at the entrance of the Xu family just now. I’ve also just learned something.”
Xia Yunlou frowned, not understanding why Madam Shen would suddenly flare up. Even if the Xu family did not like Qiao Xi, it had nothing to do with the Shen family. Although the Shen family was rich and powerful, they should not interfere in other people’s family matters.
Moreover, she got angry at her in front of everyone. She was clearly not giving her any
face.
Xia Yunlou suppressed her anger. “Madam Shen, we—”
“Madam Xu, even though you’re Miss Qiao Xi’s mother, there are some things that you did wrong. As the host, Madam Shen has the right to say something.”
Butler Liu said indifferently, “Madam Xu, you seem to be sure of your words. You’re saying that Miss Qiao Xi is naughty and unruly, so that’s why she’s nowhere to be seen now?”
“Of… Of course!”
“Why are you still thinking about the banquet? The most important matter is to save your brother! Do you think I brought you here to attend the banquet? Actually, it doesn’t matter whether you come or not. Now that you’ve shown yourself, the Shen family won’t say anything. “Let me tell you, we have to get President Gu to relent and reconcile with us today no matter what. It’s all your fault. If you hadn’t called the police, your brother wouldn’t have been captured. Hence, you have to solve this matter!
“So what if your reputation goes down the hill?! You can’t represent the Xu family. Anran’s and your brother’s reputation is the most important thing now! You grew up in the countryside and don’t know etiquette. You’re extremely crude. I don’t expect you to have a good reputation either. I might as well sacrifice you to help everyone. What other concerns do you have? Hurry up and go!”
Xia Yunlou’s voice sounded from the phone. The entire venue was silent.
Madam Shen’s gaze was cold. “Mr. Xu, if Butler Liu hadn’t checked the surveillance footage, everyone would have misunderstood Miss Xu. I really don’t understand why you and your wife are slandering your biological daughter?”
Shen Yu’s gentle face was full of smiles, but his voice was so cold that it made one’s body tremble. “I heard that Young Master Xu got people to kill his own sister. However, Madam Xu is blaming her biological daughter instead. She doesn’t even care about her biological daughter’s life. What else does the Xu family care about, then? Uncle Liu, please have the Xu family leave!”
