As Mr. Xu walked away, tears streamed down Xu Huanyan's face.
Does that mean he won't care about me anymore now that Su Ning is back?
Having failed to file a complaint, Madam Xu stared coldly at Mr. Xu's departing figure. Xu Huanyan sobbed sadly. Seeing Madam Xu standing there silently, she called out "Mom." Madam Xu's face was dark and frightening.
Dinner began, and apart from Xu Min and her son who were abroad, the entire Xu family was present. Old Master Xu was very happy and took out his treasured liquor, wanting to have a good drink with his two sons.
Xu Jiang can hold his liquor, while Xu Sheng doesn't drink much. The old man was happy, so the two of them kept him company.
"We'll wait for Xiaomin to come back so our whole family can get together again."
Over the years, the Xu family has had gatherings, but the old man always feels empty inside, as if someone is missing.
Now that the person is back, I'm naturally happy.
"The Xu family is finally all together."
Upon hearing this, Madam Xu chuckled dismissively, "Father, how can you say 'complete'? Isn't one person still missing?"
The younger generation thought that Madam Xu was referring to Xu Huanyan, who was being punished by standing outside. However, Old Master Xu knew perfectly well that Madam Xu was referring to Su Ning and Xu Bai's biological mother.
He took his grandson home to raise, and twenty years later he brought Su Ning back to the Xu family. Jiang Yun couldn't tolerate it, she really couldn't tolerate it!
"Don't worry, the Xu family won't break their promise," Old Master Xu said solemnly. He could decide whether to bring his grandchildren back, but Su Xincheng was Xu Sheng's own choice.
Back then, Xu Sheng ignored all advice and traded the entire Xu family for Su Xincheng. Even after so much time has passed, the old man is still angry.
I don't like Jiang Yun, and I don't want my son to have anything to do with Su Xincheng anymore!
Because of this sentence, Su Ning looked at the old man with suspicion, feeling that there was a story behind the old man's words.
She was taken aback when a dish was placed in her bowl by Madam Xu, who was smiling at her.
"Alright, everyone, dinner's ready."
After Mr. Xu finished speaking, Mrs. Xu, who was standing next to him, got angry and slammed her chopsticks down on the table.
"What are you eating? Huanyan is still standing outside."
"She can come in when she admits her mistake," said Old Master Xu, glancing at Madam Xu diagonally opposite him.
Xu Huanyan will not admit to doing something she did wrong.
"Hmph." The old lady snorted coldly, turned her head to look at Su Ning, who was sitting quietly eating between Xu Jiang and Madam Xu, and suddenly felt angry. "Our Xu family has been peaceful all these years. I really don't understand why you would bring an outsider back?"
When she learned that Old Master Xu had found an illegitimate daughter, the old lady's attitude was to ignore it. But when she learned that the illegitimate daughter was Su Ning, she had no choice but to get involved.
The word "outsider" was extremely jarring, causing Su Ning to slow down her movements.
Having not grown up in the Xu family, she was indeed an outsider upon her sudden return.
This statement angered others.
"Shut up!" the old man snapped coldly. "If you don't want to eat, go back to your room."
As the head of the family, the old man's words carried absolute authority. The old lady shut her mouth in annoyance, then looked at Su Ning, who was still eating across from her, without throwing down her chopsticks and leaving.
"mom!"
Mr. Xu spoke, and as soon as he did, everyone who knew about his relationship with Su Ning looked at him.
Madam Xu was even more afraid that he would say something he shouldn't have in a moment of impulse. Now Su Ning was Xu Jiang's daughter, but if she became Xu Sheng's, she would have to take her home to live with her.
