By the way, let’s take a look at Xia Wei and her daughter. What tricks are they up to this time?
If he didn't have some calculation, how could he be so eager to invite her to the engagement party for the mother and daughter who would not do anything without profit?
Before Xia Yunxi could move, someone suddenly called her from a distance, "Yunxi."
Xia Yunxi turned her head and saw her father standing in the crowd, waving at her with a kind face.
Beside Xia Chenghai stood several middle-aged men who were well-dressed and had high social status.
Xia Chenghai said something to the other party, then walked towards her.
Xia Yunxi raised her eyebrows slightly, because she saw her father was still smiling when he turned around. But when he faced her, the smile immediately disappeared, and the warning in his eyes did not need to be strict at all.
When they got there, Xia Chenghai grabbed Xia Yunxi's arm and whispered, "You'd better be more sensible, Yunxi. Don't think that just because you've moved out and become powerful, I can't do anything to you."
Xia Yunxi followed him obediently without any resistance. She asked in a calm voice, "Oh, I wonder what Dad wants me to do this time?"
"See that? The man over there with a red tie, he comes from a good family, he's in the oil business. His wife died of illness a few years ago, leaving behind a one and a half year old child. I've taken good care of him for you. You have to take this time seriously. If you offend this guy, I tell you, you and your bastard will never be able to stay in Jiangcheng." Xia Chenghai whispered dangerously and viciously.
Xia Yunxi's eyebrows were delicate and her face was slightly cold.
She turned her head to look at the middle-aged man beside her, finding it hard to believe, was this man really her father?
Also, he knew she had a child. Did Xia Wei reveal it, or did he send someone to track her down?
Xia Yunxi lowered her eyes, hiding all her thoughts.
Her silence seemed to please Xia Chenghai, and the man's arrogance disappeared.
When he arrived in front of the middle-aged man, Xia Chenghai's face was already full of smiles.
"Mr. Wang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. This is my daughter, Xia Yunxi."
Among them stood a middle-aged man, wearing a burgundy tie that Xia Chenghai had specifically requested. He had gained weight in middle age, and although his figure had changed, his aura was clearly not on the same level as Xia Chenghai's.
After hearing Xia Chenghai's introduction, the other party's eyes became obviously ambiguous.
Xia Chenghai turned around, pulled Xia Yunxi, and signaled her to call for help.
"Yun Xi."
Xia Yunxi raised the corners of her lips slightly, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of her with clear eyes. She didn't show any shyness or shyness, but greeted him gracefully: "Mr. Wang."
The middle-aged man raised his lips in interest and said to Xia Chenghai, "Mr. Xia is so lucky to have a pair of daughters who are both so beautiful and generous."
"No, Mr. Wang, thank you for your compliment." Xia Chenghai said modestly.
There were a few people nearby who had just made their fortunes in the past two years and didn't know anything about the Xia family. One of them asked in confusion.
"Mr. Xia, when did you have an older daughter? Why have I never heard you mention her?"
Xia Chenghai's expression immediately turned unnatural. "Well, my daughter has been studying abroad for the past few years... yes, studying."
"So you are abroad. No wonder you look different from us old folks. How did you raise your eldest daughter? Is she here to take over your business?" The others joked.
Xia Chenghai smiled awkwardly and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Xia Yunxi stood by and watched all of this. The smile on her face remained unchanged and she never responded.
It was like she was waiting, but also like she had already accepted the arrangement her father had given her.
Mr. Wang, who was specially introduced by Xia Chenghai, held a wine glass in his hand and looked at the woman in front of him without blinking.
Almost everyone who knew Xia Chenghai knew the rumors about Xia Yunxi.
The eldest daughter was a dissolute woman, but because of a broken heart, she became negative and decadent.
She even went so far as to go abroad for fun, and I heard she now has a child with her. This kind of woman might be fine for fun, but to marry her for a marriage of convenience, Xia Chenghai's calculations are far too self-serving!
Over there, Xia Chenghai was entangled by several people. Perhaps he had no time to take care of them, or perhaps he was intentionally creating space.
Mr. Wang leaned over and picked up a glass of red wine from a passing waiter's tray and handed it to Xia Yunxi: "Miss Xia, do you mind having a drink?"
Xia Yunxi glanced back. She wore light makeup, her delicate features unable to conceal her beauty. The dress that wrapped around her body made her figure stand out tall and stunning. The faint smile on her face, revealing a sense of alienation, yet somehow gave people a desire to conquer her.
Xia Yunxi did not refuse. She really raised her hand to take the wine glass, gestured to the middle-aged man, then tilted her head back and took a sip.
Mr. Wang was in a good mood because Xia Yunxi was sensible.
He took a sip of wine and then took the initiative to invite Xia Yunxi, "I wonder if I would have the honor to invite Miss Xia to dance with me?"
"Sorry, my feet are tired from standing." Xia Yunxi said lightly to evade the question.
The man lowered his head, glanced at her feet, and immediately understood.
At the same time, the thoughts that arose in my heart could no longer be suppressed.
He was about to change his words when laughter came from the crowd.
Then someone noticed this and called out, "Yun Xi."
Then, a girl in a pink dress came over through the crowd.
She put her arm around Xia Yunxi, wearing cute makeup, and exaggeratedly expressed surprise: "It's really you, I thought you didn't dare to come out to see us."
After saying that, she glanced at the sisters in the crowd, then grabbed Xia Yunxi's arm and left without saying anything.
"Come on, go over there. Your sister is over there too. Tell me quickly, what have you been doing in America these past few years? Did you really give birth to a child?"
The girl's voice was undisguised, and although her attitude was clearly extremely intimate, everyone could hear the contempt in her words.
Xia Chenghai finally broke free from his colleagues' restraint, and the next moment he saw Xia Yunxi being dragged away.
He opened his mouth to call for help, but then he remembered the current situation and swallowed the words.
Turning around, Xia Chenghai said to Mr. Wang in a flattering manner, "Those kids are ignorant. Mr. Wang, please don't mind. I'll let Yun Xi accompany you later."
Having said that, the business friends standing nearby couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.
What does this mean?
Xia Chenghai used his second daughter to get close to the Zhao family.
Now he pushes his eldest daughter out and puts her in front of Mr. Wang. Does he want this man who is older than him to be his son-in-law?
Who among those present was not astute? With just the slightest clue, they could deduce the twists and turns.
For a moment, everyone present couldn't help but despise Xia Chenghai in their hearts.
