He has no ability, so he uses his daughter as a marriage partner and as a stepping stone for himself.
…
Here, Xia Yunxi was pulled away without any explanation into the crowd, where some daughters of wealthy families gathered.
Xia Wei, today's star, wore a goosetail silver diamond hair accessory in her hair, and her makeup was fresh and elegant. The princess's fluffy skirt, with its tail feathers inlaid with diamonds, enveloped her like a stunning peacock.
Enjoying the congratulations from the people around her, Xia Wei's proud tail seemed to be raised to the sky.
He said modestly: "No, no..."
Turning around, Xia Wei saw Xia Yunxi being forcibly pulled over by Liu Li. Her eyes flickered, and she smiled and greeted her in an instant, "Sister, you're here."
Sure enough, as soon as she spoke, everyone's eyes fell on Xia Yunxi.
Suddenly, everyone's face looked extremely wonderful.
They whispered to each other, wondering who was coming and what a joke it had been.
But now I heard that the child has been born!
Sure enough, as soon as this thought came out, Xia Wei, on behalf of these daughters of wealthy families, asked about the gossip that was brewing in their hearts.
"Sister, why didn't you bring your children with you? There are so many people here today. You should bring your children over to have a look and have something delicious to eat."
Xia Wei seemed to be genuinely concerned about her sister, but the message her words conveyed made the gathered young ladies unable to help but giggle.
They were so self-degrading back then that now if they give birth to a child, I'm afraid they can't even afford to raise it themselves.
It's really pitiful. As the daughter of the Xia family, she messed up a good hand and now has to beg for food.
Xia Yunxi had no idea what these wealthy women were thinking. She raised an eyebrow slightly. Were they genuinely curious? Did they investigate her again afterwards? Or was Xia Wei just making this up based on anecdotes from their last encounter at the mall?
"What are you talking about, sister? If I have a child, shouldn't I let him come and congratulate his aunt on her engagement?"
Xia Yunxi said this so beautifully that it was hard to find fault with her.
The young ladies who were preparing to watch the show couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Could it be that the rumors were false? There was no child at all?
Thinking of this, some of the people who got along well with her looked at Xia Wei with questioning eyes.
Xia Wei's face turned a little unhappy: "Sister, you are really good at joking. The child has been born, and the father hasn't said he doesn't recognize him. You don't have to hide it anymore!"
Xia Yunxi narrowed her eyes slightly, so they investigated her afterwards, right?
Xia Yunxi found it a little funny. As the saying goes, "I will not offend others unless they offend me." Having lived under the shadow of her stepmother since childhood, Xia Yunxi did not retaliate, which was already considered magnanimous of her.
But it seemed that these people would not let her go as easily as she thought!
Among the daughters of wealthy families, in addition to those who were good friends with Xia Wei, there were also a few who came to the banquet with their parents.
So I don’t know what they are talking about?
But anyone could hear the different atmosphere between Xia Yunxi and Xia Wei.
A few curious people asked, "What are they talking about? The two sisters don't seem to get along."
"Oh, you don't know. That's Xia Wei's sister. She has a very promiscuous private life. I heard that she went to the United States with someone and even gave birth to a child." Someone answered, obviously lowering their voice, but every word was heard clearly by everyone present.
Xia Yunxi turned around and looked. After five years abroad, she could no longer remember the appearance of some people clearly.
But if you look closely, you can vaguely see from under the thick makeup that she is the daughter of a friend who is part of the Xia family and who originally followed her father.
We played together when we were kids, and even went to the same school in college.
Xia Yunxi had just vaguely remembered this when the girl over there began to tell gossip about her without any scruples.
"Just five years ago, she was heartbroken and started dating an old man. Uncle Xia had already agreed to her being with the old man, but she got tired of him and ran away from home."
"Oh my god, there are such things."
"There are so many things you don't know the bottom line of. Only humans can do it. There's nothing you can't imagine." The girl didn't care about others at all, and her voice got louder and louder as she spoke.
The attitude of contempt and disdain was clearly expressed on his face.
When his eyes accidentally swept over Xia Yunxi, he immediately looked away, as if he had seen something disgusting.
Xia Yunxi: “…”
very good!
She came here today to do nothing and attended the banquet with an attitude of staying out of the matter.
She knew that the mother and daughter would take action, but she just watched them step by step, wearing out her patience and tolerance... When she couldn't bear it anymore, it would be time to give them a big gift.
But she obviously thought too highly of them.
Xia Yunxi didn't want to do it so drastically...
After hearing what the girl said, the surrounding rich ladies looked at Xia Yunxi as if she were a clown.
No, he's even worse than that clown.
At least they still have a fig leaf to cover their reputation, but Xia Yunxi's reputation doesn't even need that fig leaf.
The filthiness in a woman's heart is gossip. How could the other person fall to such a level?
Men are just the opposite. After hearing these meaningful things, the look they give to the person involved is direct and dirty.
I wanted to take off the clothes to see what was inside, and I also thought that since it was fun, it might as well let them have some fun.
It's not that Xia Yunxi can't feel it. She lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes covering the expression in her eyes, and a faint cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
When the girl made a coquettish mocking sound, Xia Yunxi casually placed the wine glass in his hand on the plate of a passing student.
Then he turned around and walked towards them.
The girl's name was Lin Qiuran. Xia Yunxi remembered her very clearly, and she was standing in front of them.
The daughter of a wealthy family beside Lin Qiuran was not as evil as them after all. An unnatural look flashed across her face and she stepped aside a few steps.
Xia Yunxi placed one hand on her abdomen, her back straight, elegant and calm, her eyes light with an indescribable glow.
"You guys, are you talking about me again?"
The daughter of a wealthy family immediately felt embarrassed. After all, her family upbringing did not allow her to say unpleasant things about others in front of them.
Lin Qiuran didn't take it seriously and pinched his throat: "Oh, how can that be possible?"
"It's okay, tell me. It's a good opportunity for me to hear how my reputation has been ruined." Xia Yunxi chuckled lightly, with no trace of anger on her face. Even the gaze that turned away and swept across several people was flashing with ambiguous meaning.
