Chapter 516: Chapter 516: Spurning a Kind Gesture Chapter 516: Chapter 516: Spurning a Kind Gesture An Zhiyuan and Bai Xiao finally got to sit down. After a round of toasts, even with his eldest brother and third brother intercepting drinks for him, Zhiyuan still couldn’t avoid drinking quite a bit, and now he was a little tipsy.
“Son-in-law, it’s such a joyous occasion today. How could I, as your father-in-law, not be invited?”
Bai Xiao frowned, Shang Feng really was like a lingering ghost.
It seed that this had been Shang Feng’s plan all along.
An Zhiyuan pinched her hand, “Don’t worry, I’m here. On our big day, nobody is going to cause trouble.”
He stood up to et them.
Shang Kaiwen wore an exquisite suit that highlighted her elegant temperant. Especially proficient in showing off her beauty, she now garnered applause from everyone.
She practically ran up to Bai Xiao, and even this didn’t diminish her grace, instead, it added a lively youthfulness. She presented a finely-wrapped gift box to Bai Xiao, “Sister, this is the wedding gift I’ve got for you! This is a top-quality jade that I procured from Yun Province. When I purchased it, I thought of you, sister. Your wedding day happens to be the perfect occasion for this most auspicious gift. Please accept it, and I wish you a happy marriage.”
Bai Xiao felt nauseated.
How affectionately she called her sister.
Wrist flicking, Bai Xiao lightly blocked the box in front of her, “Miss Shang, I really can’t accept this from you.”
The attitude could barely fall short of asking, who are you?
Many people were watching the scene with amusent, and An Zhiyuan’s childhood friends were also utterly puzzled. How had Shang Kaiwen beco Bai Xiao’s sister? Could it be that Bai Xiao had acknowledged the Shang Family as her godfamily?
This was not uncommon, but usually, such arrangents were agreed upon by both families in advance.
An Zhiyuan approached Shang Feng, “Uncle Shang, I rember that Bai Xiao and I did not send you an invitation.”
That statent was anything but polite. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Shang Feng’s face froze as he was publicly humiliated. An Zhiyuan truly was as inflexible as his father, An Cheng—like father, like son, indeed.
Shang Feng laughed it off, “You kid, it’s your and Bai Xiao’s big day, and Bai Xiao is my own daughter, I’m your father-in-law. Do I really need an invitation?”
Today was all about making this relationship concrete, with everyone present. Bai Xiao couldn’t deny it, and An Zhiyuan wouldn’t want people to think Bai Xiao didn’t recognize her own family, would he?
“Uncle Shang, you haven’t had a drink yet, how could you be drunk already? You can’t just say anything you like. Bai Xiao’s surna is Bai; yours is Shang. Our families are unrelated, no matter how impressive Bai Xiao’s dical skills are, you can’t just claim her as your daughter,” said An Zhiyuan, sick of his woman being harassed by Shang Feng all the ti.
Shang Feng is an opportunist; judging by Shang Kaijie’s prior behavior, if they were Bai Xiao’s relatives, it would be truly lantable.
“Ayuan, what do you an by that? Bai Xiao is the child I fathered during my ti in the countryside, that’s a solid fact. She is my daughter, and I’ve been searching for her for many years, only to finally find Bai Xiao—no, she should change her surna to Shang Xiao. This child has suffered enough; I feel guilty. But Xiao, even if you’re angry, you can’t refuse to recognize your own father or the Shang Family. We are blood-related family,” Shang Feng said, moved by his own words.
An Zhiyuan slamd the table, “Uncle Shang, out of respect for the relationship between our two families, I don’t want to speak harshly, but today is my wedding day. If you ca here to spoil it, I’m afraid I’ll have to ask you to leave.”
He was offering him respect, and yet Shang Feng was shalessly refusing it. Zhiyuan had no idea Shang Feng possessed such a shaless knack.
