Xu Zhi turned around and saw that Xu Anranâs banquet hall was full of guests. He couldnât help but frown.
If it werenât for the sake of the Yin family and Gu Zheng, he wouldnât have come to attend Qiao Xiâs birthday party. Now, even if there was no one in the banquet hall, he couldnât leave just like that. He asked with slight impatience, âWhoâs here?â
The butler immediately said, âThe Chen family is here.â
Xu Zhiâs expression softened a little. âFinally, someone is here. Xi Xi wonât be too embarrassed this way. Actually, it doesnât matter if she loses. As long as she knows her place, sheâs still the daughter of my Xu family. The Chen family and my Xu family have a good relationship. Arrange for them to sit down at a table.â
Xu Zhi was afraid that Gu Zheng would take his anger out on him because of this matter, so it was better to have some people come than no one at all.
After all the guests on Qiao Xiâs side were seated, he would go celebrate Anranâs birthday with her.
At this moment, the butler suddenly said in embarrassment, âSir, the Chen family only sent someone to deliver the gift. Theyâve gone to Eldest Missâ banquet hall.â
Qiao Xiâs expression was indifferent.
Xu Zhiâs face was gloomy, and he suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. They were both his daughters, but why was there such a huge gap between them? Didnât Qiao Xi have any friends who could help her?
At this moment, another family came in with a gift in their hands. âIâm really sorry, Mr. Xu. My daughter is good friends with Miss Anran. She insisted that we attend Miss Anranâs birthday party, soâ¦â
Xu Zhi felt somewhat depressed in his heart. Was he wrong? He should have chosen Anran from the very beginning. How could Qiao Xi compare to Anran?
Then, a few other families came. They all sent gifts and apologized before going to Xu Anranâs banquet hall.
Xu Zhi frowned. âEven if President Gu and the Yin family continue to blame me, Iâll have something to retort with. I gave Xi Xi a chance, but she failed to live up to my expectations. They canât blame me for this!
âIâm staying with Xi Xi in her banquet hall, but she doesnât have a single friend. Forget it, thereâs no point in me staying here. Letâs go look for Anran!â

The butler frowned and felt that Qiao Xi was being wronged.
The two daughters could not be compared to each other. Xu Anran had attended all kinds of banquets since she was young and befriended the daughters of noble families. As for Qiao Xi, she had never shown her face in the upper-class society, so how could she compare to Xu Anran? In the end, it was just the Xu couple favoring their adopted daughter.
Xu Zhi stood up and left, but the butler stood still.
It was the birthday of the daughter of the Xu family. How could not a single person from the Xu family be present?
The butler and Nanny Li walked up to Qiao Xi. âMiss, itâs fine if no one comes. Please donât be angry. If you donât mind, what do you think of Nanny Li and I staying?â
Qiao Xi smiled. âOf course.â

When they saw Xu Zhi walking over from the banquet hall on the other side, Xu Anran and Xia Yunlou revealed proud smiles.
Xia Yunlou said coquettishly, âHubby, I thought you werenât coming! Anran, I knew that your father still cared about you. He just didnât want Qiao Xi to lose too badly.â
Xu Anran pretended to be worried. âBut what about my sister? If you come over to my side, there wonât be anyone on her side? Our relationship isnât good to begin with. Now, sheâll hate me even more.â
Xu Zhi was a little irritated in his heart. His mood only improved a little when he saw the hall full of guests and heard the cheerful laughter. He was somewhat regretful. He shouldnât have gone to Qiao Xiâs side just now. He wouldnât have been so upset if he had come directly to Anranâs side.
âAnran, donât think too much about it. Itâs her own fault. It has nothing to do with you!â
When everyone heard Xu Zhiâs words, they could not help but turn around and look at the banquet hall over there.
âLook, theyâre both the daughters of the Xu family, but not a single guest went to that ladyâs birthday party!â
âXu Anran is a top socialite. Sheâs beautiful and popular. Of course, the guests will choose to attend her birthday party. Actually, if it werenât for the fact that the two of them insisted on celebrating their birthdays together, I wouldâve attended Qiao Xiâs birthday party on the account that sheâs the biological daughter of the Xu couple.â
âBut if we have to choose between the two of them, of course, we have to come to Xu Anranâs side.â
âBiological? Tsk tsk⦠Thereâs nothing much to it!â
