1199 Madam Ye’s Banquet
10 days passed in the blink of an eye. Xia Yunlou and Xia ngyan’s detention period ended, and they were picked up in the Xia family’s car. After the two of them returned to the Xia family, Old Madam Xia hugged the two of them and cried until she was out of breath. Xia Cheng’s face was also gloomy.
Xia Yunlou complained, “Dad! ngyan and I were detained. Why didn’t you co over and let us out earlier?! You forced us to stay inside for 10 days. I’m afraid everyone outside knows about it now.”
Xia Cheng’s eyes were malicious. “Don’t worry, I’ve already suppressed this news. The outside world doesn’t know that you and ngyan were detained. I’ve also rejected all your invitations on behalf of you. It’s just that we rejected Madam Ye’s invitation too, and the Ye family doesn’t seem too satisfied. You and ngyan need to visit and apologize.”
“The Ye family’s company has been doing well in recent years, and they’ve worked with our family. We have to obtain Madam Ye’s forgiveness.”
Xia ngyan hurriedly agreed. “I understand, Grandpa.”
“Yes, you’ve suffered for the past 10 days. You couldn’t eat or sleep well in there. Hurry up and go upstairs to take a shower and have a good rest. I’ll get the chef to cook sothing delicious for you tonight.” Xia Cheng’s tone was gentle, but his eyes were filled with coldness. “Qiao Xi actually disregarded her family ties and caused you to be detained. I’ll settle this score with her sooner or later!”
At the ntion of Qiao Xi, the anger in Xia Cheng’s heart surged.
10 days ago, when he found out that Xia Yunlou and Xia ngyan were detained, he imdiately called Qiao Xi. He had already tried his best to persuade her, but Qiao Xi was unmoved. He had no choice but to go to Longwan Residential, but Qiao Xi actually refused to see him.
From the mont the two of them were captured until today, he had never seen Qiao Xi at all. She was clearly avoiding him on purpose!
Xia Cheng was furious. Xia ngyan hurriedly comforted him in a low voice, “Grandpa, don’t be angry with Xi Xi. It’s all our fault. We shouldn’t have misunderstood her. She suffered grievances, so she insisted on us being punished. I understand her. Forget it.”
Xia ngyan was indignant. “ngyan, you’re still speaking up for her at a ti like this!”
Xia ngyan sighed helplessly. “Aunt, I understand that Xi Xi finds it unfair. If she hadn’t been wandering outside back then, she would have been the beloved daughter of the Xia family and the Yin family. She has suffered a lot in the past 20 years, so no matter what she does, I won’t hate her. After all, she’s your biological daughter!”
“I don’t have a daughter like her. Only an ingrate like her would do such a thing!” Xia Yunlou roared with a ferocious expression.
Xia Cheng’s heart couldn’t help but ache when he saw that Xia ngyan didn’t have the slightest trace of resentnt and was instead defending Qiao Xi. “ngyan, you’re too kind. That’s why you were bullied by Qiao Xi. If it weren’t for us protecting you, Qiao Xi would have bullied you even more badly!”
The few of them chatted for a while. Xia Yunlou and Xia ngyan went upstairs to take a shower before hurriedly calling Madam Ye and Miss Ye to ask them to et. The two of them knew that Madam Ye and Miss Ye had been rejected previously and would definitely be dissatisfied with them, so there was a high chance that they would reject them this ti. However, they did not expect Madam Ye to agree so readily.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Xia Yunlou realized that Madam Ye had also invited so daughters and noblewon from the upper class society of Li City. As she had invited these people to eat together, Madam Ye had specially booked a small banquet hall in Fragrance Hotel. After the dozens of won sat down, everyone’s phones rang at the sa ti.
Xia ngyan and Xia Yunlou looked at each other and realized that everyone was holding their phones and covering their mouths while laughing as if they had seen sothing funny.
Xia ngyan was about to join in the fun when she heard Madam Ye say with a smile, “Everyone has heard, right? Sothing big has happened in Li City recently!”
As Madam Ye spoke, her gaze landed on Xia Yunlou. Xia Yunlou could only casually respond, “I’ve been a little busy recently, so I didn’t hear about it. What’s the matter?”
Madam Ye and the other noblewon looked at each other and replied aningfully, “This matter has already spread. I found it really funny when I heard it! Therefore, since all my friends are here today, I’ll tell you about it.”
Before Xia Yunlou could respond, Miss Ye said, “That’s right! This matter is indeed funny. I just happened to hear about it.”
There was no curiosity in everyone’s eyes as if they already knew what Madam Ye would say next. Only Xia Yunlou and Xia ngyan were kept in the dark and were dumbfounded.
