Chapter 8 Scumbag Engagement Banquet
For almost a week after that, she never had any contact with the Xia family.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the engagement banquet. This time it was the marriage of the Xu family and Xia family, and all the prominent political and business celebrities in the city were present. Mr.Xia stood at the door to greet the guests. Seeing that the scheduled time was approaching, he hurriedly told Xu Hao to go into the house to see if Xia Xingyan was ready.
"Xingyan and her mother had many hard time in the past." He sighed and said earnestly, "Now that I hand her over to you, if you don't treat her well. I won't let you off easily."
Xu Hao nodded solemnly, and immediately took his stand: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Xingyan, and I will never let her suffer any grievances."
Mr.Xia was very satisfied with his attitude, and patted him on the shoulder with joy. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he turned to look at the door: "My filthy daughter will come today too." "Sure she will come."
"She's better not cause any trouble for me." Mr.Xia's face suddenly showed a trace of irritability, "I finally have Mr. Sheng to attend this time, we can't make any mistakes, everything should be going well and the party must be perfect."
In his words, Mr. Sheng holds most of the economic power in Asia and Europe, and even today, most of the guests with background in the political and business circles are coming for him.
If they could take advantage of this opportunity to develop even the slightest relationship with the man, then it would not be a problem for the Xia family and the Xu family to achieve success after that. While the two were talking, Xia Xingyan had finished dressing up and walked down the stairs.
She was wearing a floor length champagne-colored nude-shoulder gauze dress, lining her snow-white skin, and her brown curly hair was pulled into a bun around her neck, revealing her slender, white neck. As soon as she appeared on the stage, it caused quite a stir, and the guests at the scene also nodded their heads and praised, saying that this bride is really moving and beautiful.
Xia Xingyan was very proud of herself, but she walked up to Xu Hao as usual and reached out to hold his arm.
Mr.Xia looked at them, and felt very emotional: "I entrusted you my precious daughter, you must cherish her."
Xu Hao reached out and held Xia Xingyan's hand, smiled at each other, then turned his head and said solemnly, "I will not let you down."
The guests next to them couldn't help but praise after seeing their interaction: "Oh, this is really a golden couple, and it's so satisfying when I see them."
As soon as she finished speaking here, someone raised her voice over there.
"There is an eldest daughter in the Xia family? You must be joking, Why I have never seen her for past several years? If I remember correctly, this groom was her fiancé at the beginning, right?" Her words were like a bomb, and suddenly the entire hall was shocked.
Someone who knew the inside story lowered his voice and said, "How dare she show her face? I heard that this eldest daughter of the Xia family was secretly sent abroad because she did something shameful back then. I don't know if she has come back now."
"Who knows if it is the truth." Someone immediately retorted sarcastically, "Mr.Xia's wife used to be his mistress, maybe her daughter just like her and seduced her sister's fiance."
There were various opinions on the scene for a while, and Mr.Xia's face became gloomy little by little from the turmoil of public opinion.
This is Xia Xingyan's engagement banquet, not a gossip conference to explore Xia Xingcheng's past. How could he tolerate that woman being the focus of discussion on the spot?
He was looking annoyed at the hall when he saw Xia Xingcheng and Xiaobao step into the banquet.
Although she has not made a public appearance in this circle for five years, her brilliance is still the same when she reappears. Whether it is her beauty or that noble aura, it perfectly matches the name she used to be called-the first lady.
It's just that now she seems to be a lot more calm and mature, and she held back her perversity, showing a more unique temperament.
"Look, I said that Miss Xia is not a ordinary woman. Her mere elegance alone is enough to make others envious."
Someone who said that Xia Xingyan was not inferior to Xia Xingcheng somehow felt ashamed and lowered her head.
Mr.Xia's face was completely cold. He walked to Xia Xingcheng, lowered his voice, and tried his best to control himself not raising his voice: "What's the matter with you, didn't I say that you are not allowed to bring your child?!"
He felt that the girl was deliberately opposing him, and she insisted on making some troubles at Xia Xingyan's engagement banquet, which disturbed their peace.
He raised his hand and pointed to the door, looking so angry that he didn't show any sympathy, "Find someone to send him away immediately, or I'll be rude!"
Mr.Xia's unavoidable attitude towards Xiaobao was like a needle, which made Xia Xingcheng feel pain in his heart.
"In this case..." She hugged the child and looked back coldly, her back straight: "Why did you have to call me back so far to make you unhappy, don't worry, I'll leave with my son right now. Let's go."
Seeing that she was going to leave, Xia Xingyan immediately became anxious, and hurriedly squeezed out a smile to persuade her: "Sister, don't leave, Dad is just acting on impulse. He has been missing you for the past five years,."
She held Xia's father in one hand and her fiance Xu Hao in the other, tilted her head and smiled at Xia Xingcheng: "Don't be angry, today is my engagement day, I really hope to have you here blessing us." Xia Xingcheng looked at her and sneered.
This kind of silent showing off is much more powerful than the high-sounding words she said.
She didn't just want to show off how well she lived, to prove that she had taken her place in the Xia family.
Xia Xingcheng didn't answer her, but turned to look at her sullen father next to her: "Why, do you want me to stay?"
When Mr.Xia looked at her like looking at a jinx. He waved his hand impatiently, and shouted in a vicious voice, "Go and stay by the side, away from us."
She didn't want to argue with him, so she took Xiaobao's hand and sat down in a corner.
The hall was full of lively voices, but Xia Xingcheng was only tired when she saw this scene of intertwining.
Five years ago, they treated her so cruel and ruthless and she was exiled abroad. Five years later, she had to attend Xu Hao and Xia Xingyan's engagement banquet.
She didn't know what Mr.Xia was thinking about.
The more she thought about it, the more headache she felt, the recurrence of her old illness, and jet lag rushing up at the same time. She was so painful that she have to hold on to her forehead. "Mummy." Xiaobao quickly saw her discomfort, and asked cautiously, clinging to the armrest of the chair, "Are you OK?"
Without waiting for Xia Xingcheng's answer, he trotted to hold a waiter, begging her for a cup of warm water.
The waiter looked at this obedient and sensible little guy and thought he was too cute, so he agreed and quickly brought back a glass of water.
Xia Xingcheng drank half a cup of warm water, and felt better.
She was rubbing her temples for a while, and when she looked up, she saw Mr.Xia walking over with a man in his late fifties.
