Qiao Xi grunted coldly. âOnly Mr. Xu is considered a smart person in this family, but his good attitude toward me is also for the sake of the Xu familyâs reputation. As for that Madam Xu, sheâs really hopelessly stupid. Moreover, sheâs filled with hostility toward me I really donât understand.â
Gu Zheng lowered his eyes.
Actually, he did not understand why the Xu couple doted on an adopted daughter more.
They were not happy that their biological daughter had returned home. Instead, they thought that she was a burden.
Perhaps it was because they felt that Qiao Xi was just a wild girl who had led a wandering life outside, while Xu Anran was a top socialite
Perhaps there was another reason.
Qiao Xi pursed her lips. âI have to find out about Mom, so I have to stay with the Xu family for a few days. Moreover, I realized that Madam Xu seems to have a secret!â
âPreviously, the investigation showed that although Madam Xu and her sister didnât grow up together, the two of them were biological sisters, after all. Their relationship was quite good. Back then, if it werenât for Madam Xuâs sister, I wouldnât know where I would have ended up. In other words, it was her sister who saved her biological daughter. Logically speaking, she should be grateful, but she doesnât seem to think so.
âYouâve also investigated and found out that the Xia family is a noble family in Luo City. Theyâre a century-old family. Before their two daughters got married, they never stepped out of their houses. But look at Madam Xuâs shrewish appearance. Does she look like someone from such a family?â
Gu Zheng looked indifferent. âMr. Shen and Madam Shen are here in Li City. It seems that theyâre here because of you.â
Qiao Xiâs eyes instantly lit up. âTheyâre here!â
âTheyâre here to avenge you, so theyâre holding a banquet and have invited the Xu family.â
Qiao Xi smiled lightly. The Xu family had not even gained any benefits from her yet, but her elder brother and the rest came to vent their anger?! However, she really looked forward to seeing the Xu familyâs dejected expressions at the banquet.
At the Yin familyâs residence in the capital.
âMadam, the Xu family has found their biological daughter.â
An elegant and noble old madam was half-leaning on a small couch. Her eyes were narrowed slightly, and she looked very pleased.
She opened her eyes. Although she was old, she had taken good care of herself. There were not many wrinkles on her face. âHave you found Yunlouâs child?â
The old madamâs eyes were red as her voice trembled. âAfter so many years, weâve finally found that child. Hurry! Call the young master at home and follow me to Li City!â
The servant nodded and hesitated. âOld Madam, although Madam Yunlou has found her biological daughter⦠I heard that the Xu family doesnât treat her well. They even arranged for her to stay in the basement and let their adoptive daughter stay in the largest and most luxurious room in the villa. Look at thisâ¦â
The old madam glared.
The servant took a deep breath and continued, âMadam Yunlou doesnât even treat her biological daughter well. The Xia family is so biased. I wonder how theyâre going to make things difficult for that child!â
The old madamâs face was filled with anger as she slammed the table. âThis Yunlou! Sheâs really too much! I still canât change her character. Thatâs her biological daughter! How can she be so insensible?! That little girl was lost the moment she was born., yet she can even bear to do this?â
The old madam was furious, and the servant was helpless. âOld Madam, I think Madam Yunlou doesnât like that child not because she led a wandering life since she was young, nor because she despises the child for being uneducated and not like a top socialite. Itâs becauseâ¦
âItâs because after that child was swapped, she was saved by Eldest Madam.â
When the old madam heard these words, tears fell uncontrollably. âYunqiuâ¦â
into a family in Li City. Then, she died because of an illness. Young Miss lost her protection and was bullied by that manâs mistress and illegitimate daughter since she was young. She almost died in the hands of those two vicious women. After that, she finally found her biological parents but they still treated her badly. Sigh! My heart really aches!â
âIâll go to Li City now!â
The old madam stood up abruptly with a gloomy expression. âThat granddaughter of mine has finally returned home. Letâs see who still dares to bully her! Yunlou doesnât know whatâs good for her, so as the childâs grandmother, I have to stand up for her!â
The servantâs heart ached.
