Chapter 318 Xixi is lost
"Everyone," Reikeman walked to the center of the stage. She held Xixi's hand and said with a smile in her eyes, "Today, I would like to introduce someone to you. It's this little princess next to me. Her name is Xiaoxi. She is the daughter of our city lord and will be my daughter in the future."
Everyone was shocked. What? The city lord actually had a daughter! What did Rekeman mean by that? Could it be that this little girl was the city lord's child with another woman, and that Rekeman would be his stepmother in the future?
Lei Keman smiled broadly and continued, "I know what everyone is thinking. I'm here today to tell you that I don't mind any of this. I love Xiao Xun as a person, not anything else about him. I will treat his daughter as my own and raise her to be a lady of good character and a useful member of the Holy City."
"Pa pa..." Thunderous applause broke out in the banquet hall. Everyone was praising Lei Keman for her magnanimity and marveling at her willingness to sacrifice herself to such an extent for the city lord.
Xixi's wrist was held in the hand of the tall Rekoman, and she felt very uncomfortable. She tried hard to pull her hand back, but Rekoman held it tighter, even lowering his head to glare at Xixi, and whispered a warning: "Behave yourself!"
Xixi was angry and aggrieved. She grabbed Lei Keman's wrist and bit it hard.
"Ah..." Lei Keman screamed in pain and flicked his wrist, pushing Xixi to the ground.
"Wow..." Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect the situation to suddenly turn out like this. It seemed that the relationship between Lekeman and his stepdaughter was not as good as they imagined!
Reikeman was determined not to let her image be shattered. Her eyes warmed up and tears immediately welled up in her eyes. She asked in disbelief, "Xixi, how could you do this to me?"
Ye Li, who was in the crowd, was furious. How could Lei Keman use adult tactics on a six-year-old? She squeezed through the crowd, trying to take her daughter away.
Unexpectedly, Xixi suddenly got up from the ground, crying and shouting, "Bad guys!" She pushed the crowd away and ran away.
"Xixi!" Old Madam Xiao quickly stood up and chased after Xixi.
"Xixi!" Ye Li chased after her in a hurry. There were too many guests in the banquet hall, blocking her way. She forced her way through and finally squeezed out, but at this time, Xixi was no longer there.
Madam Xiao didn't see Xixi either, so she hurriedly ordered the bodyguards in the Leikeman Mansion, "Go and find Xixi for me."
Lei Keman came over, wiping her tears of grievance. She said, "Old lady, I'm so sorry. I had good intentions, but Xixi—"
Madam Xiao sighed and said, "I don't blame you. It's all because she's too willful. She was raised outside at such a young age, and she's become wild and unruly. Once I've disciplined her, this incident won't happen."
"Madam, you are a role model for all of us women. The girls you train will definitely be good." Lei Keman flattered Madam Xiao.
"Xixi, Xixi..." Ye Li shuttled through the manor at night. Every time he arrived at a place, he would look carefully and call out, for fear of missing his daughter.
She finally had this opportunity, and she had to reunite with her daughter.
But Xixi seemed to have disappeared. Ye Li couldn't find her, and even Madam Xiao couldn't find her.
The entire manor was searched, but there was still no sign of Xixi.
"Could it be that Xixi ran away?" Lei Keman guessed.
Old Madam Xiao was so frightened that her face turned pale. The main urban area of the Holy City was so big, and Xixi was just a little girl and liar who couldn't even recognize all the words. If she was lost, it would probably take a while to find her. And if Xiao Xun knew that she had brought his daughter out and lost her, Xiao Xun would probably really turn against her.
"Quick, notify the patrol team in the Holy City and ask them to search for Xixi's whereabouts in the city." Old Lady Xiao ordered hurriedly.
"Yes." Madam Xiao's housekeeper went to do it immediately.
On the other side, Lei Keman was also very panicked. Everyone saw that it was because of her that Xixi ran away. If anything happened to Xixi, the responsibility would be hers.
So Lekman immediately ordered the bodyguards to seal off the manor, and no one was allowed to go out except the old lady's people and those attending the banquet.
Ye Li was stopped in the manor and couldn't get out.
The manor was also under martial law and no one was allowed to move around freely.
Ye Li had no choice but to go back to his room.
The birthday party timeline was changed to evening
