Madam Xu wasn't stupid. She took the wheelchair that Xu Jiang was pushing, moved forward, stopped in front of Madam Xu, and said to everyone with a smile, "I'm sorry you all laughed at me just now."
After saying that, she turned to look at Madam Xu and smiled sneer, "Just like my sister-in-law said, I have such a good daughter, I'm so glad I did."
This is an indirect acknowledgment of Su Ning's identity.
Madam Xu's inconsistent attitudes left everyone confused. Regardless, the illegitimate daughter in the wheelchair was accepted by the Xu family and would replace Xu Huanyan as the eldest daughter of the Xu family.
After Xu Jiang and his family left, the old man also said that he was not feeling well, and the subsequent banquet would be hosted by Mr. Xu.
The guests assumed that Mr. Xu was too busy and would have Mrs. Xu help look after things.
He didn't; he entertained the guests until the end.
Everything seemed calm. Mr. Xu had returned to his previous aloofness, and his perfect face showed no sign of anything amiss. But Mrs. Xu knew that everything had changed the moment Su Ning stepped into the Xu family's main gate.
The guests at the banquet were very clever; they didn't say what they should or shouldn't say at the Xu family's house.
After they left the room, they began to talk about everything that had happened at the Xu family banquet.
For example, Xu Ning's legs?
For example, who is her mother?
For example, Xu Sheng's strange attitude?
There's so much to it. A single banquet is enough to keep people digging deeper and deeper. Before they know it, some have unearthed things from twenty years ago. And this capital city will no longer be peaceful because of the Xu family's banquet.
Su Ning was taken to Shenyuan by Xu Jiang and his wife.
The couple owned a restaurant and received dividends from the Xu family business. Their two sons were very successful and started their own companies at a young age.
The family was harmonious, but when they learned that Xu Jiang had an illegitimate daughter, many conflicts arose.
Young Master Xu and Second Young Master Xu had other business to attend to and did not attend the banquet. They received a call saying that Xu Jiang had brought people back to Nanyuan, so they went home ahead of time to wait.
The door opened, and they saw Madam Xu pushing Su Ning in. The two looked at each other and were both stunned.
"How did it get like this? Is your leg ruined?"
"Young Master Xu spoke first."
Su Ning followed the question and glanced at her own legs. She was already used to other people's strange behavior, and it was the same even in the capital.
There was no reply, but Xu Jiang, who followed in, shouted sternly.
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
"Dad, you really did something to betray Mom!"
Xu Jiang's anger convinced the eldest and second young masters that this was indeed their half-sister. The two hurriedly looked at Madam Xu and moved aside, fearing that Xu Jiang and his wife would fight and hurt innocent people.
Looking up again, Su Ning, who was sitting in a wheelchair and had difficulty walking, felt that she should go forward and lead the person to the wall.
"This is your sister!"
Madam Xu stepped forward in a calm voice, just as she had fiercely questioned Xu Jiang at the banquet. She rebuked her two sons with displeasure, "Others may call her cruel, but you cannot!"
As she spoke, Madam Xu turned around and met Su Ning's eyes.
No wonder she looked familiar when I first saw her.
It turns out that this child looks like Xu Sheng, and is very much like Xu Bai.
Outsiders may not know what happened to Xu Sheng, but the Xu family knows.
More than 20 years ago, Madam Xu had already married into the Xu family and given birth to two sons. She knew quite well about Xu Sheng's sad childhood love affair.
Looking at Su Ning, Madam Xu showed no anger at all; instead, she felt an indescribable heartache and distress.
