2122 We Only Know That the Other Partyâs Surname Is Qiao
The Xie family.
Mother Xie had received the invitation an hour ago and asked someone to call Xie Xinyao back from the research institute.
âMom, Iâm back.â
Xie Xinyao had just entered and had yet to put down her things. Seeing that the atmosphere in the living room was heavy, she frowned and asked the person on the sofa, âMom, whatâs wrong? Why were you so anxious to call me back?â
Mother Xieâs expression was ugly. Tense, she didnât speak.
Xie Xinyao frowned and turned her head. From the corner of her eye, she noticed the invitation letter on the table. âWhat is this?â
She bent down and picked up the invitation letter. Her expression changed after she opened it!
The red and gold invitation letter was clearâXie Tingyun wanted to acknowledge her goddaughter and invited them to the filiation banquet!
Xie Xinyaoâs breathing suddenly quickened as she looked at her parents in disbelief. âDad, Mom, whatâs going on? Auntâ¦â
âYour aunt is holding a filiation banquet,â Mother Xie replied with difficulty.
Xie Xinyao grabbed the invitation letter unacceptably. âMom, didnât you say before that you wouldnât let Aunt be deceived? Thisâ¦â
It would have been fine if she hadnât mentioned this. At the mention of this, Mother Xieâs face, which had always been radiant, lost its light. It was rare for her to hold back her anger. âYour auntâs attitude was very firm this time. Your father and I went to look for her, but we didnât even get to see her.â
They went to look for Xie Tingyun the moment they received the invitation. However, Xie Tingyun didnât see them. Not only were they rejected, but they were also left hanging by the old butler for half an hour.
In the end, Nan Tianyi came out to meet them.
However, Nan Tianyi was very straightforward.
Before they could explain their intentions, Nan Tianyi directly told them that the matter of Xie Tingyun acknowledging a goddaughter was already a sure thing. A shoo-in wouldnât change her mind just because anyone wanted to intercede.
Mother Xie and the others had no choice but to return home. Only then did they call Xie Xinyao to come back and discuss countermeasures.
âI donât know what that person said to your aunt. Your aunt is determined to acknowledge her as her goddaughter now. She wonât listen to anyone! I asked your Grandma to call her, but she still has the same attitudeâshe has to acknowledge that person!â
Xie Xinyaoâs beautiful face finally changed. It turned slightly pale. She pinched her palms and asked, âHave you found out the identity of the person Aunt wants to recognize as her goddaughter?â
Mother Xie took a deep breath. She still looked as dignified and capable as Madam Xie should be. âI found out a little.â
â?â Xie Xinyao didnât know what she meant.
If she found out, she found out.
If she didnât find anything, she didnât find anything.
What did she mean by finding out a little?
Mother Xie seemed to have seen through her thoughts. She pressed her forehead and said in frustration, âYour aunt is very tight-lipped and refuses to reveal anything. We can only investigate by ourselves. The other party has some ability. After investigating for a long time, we only found out that the people in the manor call her⦠Miss Qiao.â
âQiao?â Xie Xinyaoâs heart skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling. âThat personâs surname is Qiao?â
She couldnât wait to ask, âMom, you donât know her name?â
Mother Xie looked troubled and shook her head. âI didnât find out. Your father and I only know that the other partyâs surname is Qiao. How old is he? Where did he come from? We havenât found out yet. However, weâre still investigating. Weâll find some useful information sooner or later.â
