Not only Guan Baocheng was dumbfounded, but Guan Ruirui and Bai Shuqin beside him were also dumbfounded.
That unexpected yet expected feeling of frustration.
The moment they saw Guan Xuxu clearly, the little bit of hope in their hearts completely disappeared.
Guan Xuxu is actually the eldest daughter of the Jiang family!
After the initial shock, there was intense jealousy.
Guan Ruirui's eyes turned red with anger.
She had always known that Guan Xuxu was pretty. In the past, every time the family went out to attend a banquet, in order to prevent her from outshining herself, Guan Ruirui would deliberately pick out some dresses with tricky colors for her that were difficult to wear. Because she had chosen them "with kindness", Bai Shuqin would force Guan Xuxu to wear them even if she didn't want to.
Wear it or wear nothing.
But Guan Xuxu has fair skin, the kind of translucent white, so she can easily pull off dark purple, a color that makes her look too mature. She has worked hard for many years, but has only managed to make Guan Xuxu have a reputation in their second-generation circle as "good-looking, but poor taste."
But in front of her, Guan Xuxu, who had left the Guan family, was wearing an exquisitely crafted two-color camellia dress. She was elegant and restrained yet lively. Although she was wearing a black dress, she gave people a sense of white beauty.
This appearance alone instantly attracted all attention.
"Is this the eldest daughter of the Jiang family? I see the dress she is wearing, it seems to be the autumn and summer concept couture released by Master Ari not long ago."
There were women talking quietly nearby. As long as they were women, they would be interested in discussing clothes, jewelry and bags. Someone immediately took up the conversation after hearing this.
"Yes, I remember that too. It was a high-end dress that had not yet been officially launched. How could the Jiang family even get such a dress?"
"Have you forgotten the fourth aunt of the Jiang family? With that aunt's status in the fashion industry, it would only take a word for her to get two pairs of these high-end couture items."
The more Guan Ruirui listened, the more jealous she became. She couldn't help but quietly approach the others and whispered in a worried tone, "Could it be fake?"
As soon as she said this, the woman who was discussing earlier suddenly stopped talking, and then turned her head and looked at her as if she was looking at something weird.
After a while, someone sneered first, the voice was full of sarcasm and disdain, and then without saying anything, they all walked to the other side, as if to stay away from the idiot.
Guan Ruirui was so angry that her face was twisted.
Subconsciously, she wanted to seek comfort from Pei Yuanyun, but when she turned around, she saw that Pei Yuanyun was also staring blankly in the direction of Guan Xuxu, and he looked obviously stunned.
Guan Ruirui gritted her teeth and tightened her grip on her handbag.
At this moment, Guan Xuxu looked towards her sharply.
Guan Xuxu didn't see the Guan family at first sight, but subconsciously looked in the direction of the person surrounded by black air in the crowd.
I was still wondering if there was another job coming my way, but when I looked closely, it turned out to be an acquaintance.
However, after not seeing each other for two days, the originally light gray shadow behind Guan Ruirui had now turned black. The gray shadow was originally just close to her back, but now it had half-surrounded her.
I don’t know what Guan Ruirui had done to attract such a thing.
Guan Xuxu's originally smiling eyes became a little colder.
Jiang Yucheng and Jiang Huai stood beside Guan Xuxu, watching the subtle changes in her eyes, and subconsciously followed her line of sight, and saw the three members of the Guan family.
He frowned secretly at the moment.
Beside him, Mr. Jiang had already solemnly introduced Guan Xuxu to the guests with a smile.
"Thank you all for coming here today. The Jiang family has relied on your care for many years, so I really hope to share my Jiang family's happy event with you all. Once again, I solemnly introduce to you my eldest granddaughter, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Xuxu."
Following the old man's introduction, Guan Xuxu, no, it should be Jiang Xuxu now, she withdrew her gaze from Guan Ruirui, put on a proper smile on her face, and greeted everyone present with a smile.
Old Master Jiang had mentioned Jiang Xuxu's name to her before.
In addition to changing her surname, since her generation all had the character "水" in their names, Grandpa Jiang originally wanted to change her name to Jiang Xu.
It is from the Shui generation and is homophonic with her current name.
But Jiang Xuxu didn't agree.
Because the two words "Xu Xu" were actually given by her master, and she was used to this name, she just said that she lacked "wood" in her destiny, and she fooled Mr. Jiang with this.
Guan Baocheng in the crowd didn't dare to believe it at first, but when he heard the name Xuxu, he was no longer sure.
The child he raised for eighteen years turned out to be the Jiang family's lost child! !
At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot.
Thinking about the cooperation opportunity that seemed like a pie in the sky before, and the sudden cancellation of the cooperation, as well as the guilty faces of Bai Shuqin and Ruirui, what else could he not understand?
It’s all because Xuxu is Jiang family’s biological daughter!
The reason why he suddenly won the favor of the Jiang family and took the initiative to cooperate was because of Xuxu, and the reason why he suddenly canceled the cooperation later was also because of Xuxu!
And his wife and daughter clearly knew all this, but they said nothing!
Thinking of this, Guan Baocheng glared at his wife beside him.
Bai Shuqin was startled by his look and subconsciously shrank to the side.
The expression is somewhat innocent.
She doesn't want to either.
If she had known that Xuxu was a child of the Jiang family, she would not have said such words in front of Jiang Yucheng that day. Thinking about how she blatantly asked Jiang Yucheng for his daughter's quota for her own daughter that day, it was no wonder that the other party was so angry at that time.
Guan Baocheng and Bai Shuqin are regretting it now.
I regret it so much.
If they had known earlier that Xuxu was the child of the Jiang family, given the kindness of his family in raising Xuxu for eighteen years, the Guan family would have been guests of honor of the Jiang family from then on. With the help of the Jiang family's influence, it would not be impossible for the Guan family to move to a higher level!
But now, if they hadn't tried every means to get the invitation letter, the Jiang family wouldn't even send them the invitation, which was enough to show the Jiang family's attitude.
Guan Baocheng felt a momentary dull pain in his chest, and the regret and anger almost choked him so much that he couldn't breathe.
But thinking of today's occasion, I could only hold it in.
Guan Baocheng's chest heaved violently. The next moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
Yes, he can't lose his temper in an occasion like today.
The Jiang family can’t do that either!
Thinking of this, Guan Baocheng's originally regretful expression suddenly changed, and a warm smile appeared on his face. He took Bai Shuqin's hand and quickly walked through the crowd and came to the front.
Opening his mouth, his voice was filled with warmth and joy.
"Xu Xu, you look so beautiful tonight. I feel relieved to see that you are doing well. Your mother and I have been thinking about you since you left."
As he spoke, he paused amid the slightly puzzled looks in the room, then slapped his head and smiled at Mr. Jiang beside him in an annoyed manner.
"Hey, look at me, I'm used to saying it. Now I should change my words. I should call her foster mother instead of mom."
