Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 614 - 344 Don’t just talk, practice~_2

This is incredible!

Xia Ye’s ’toy’ was gone, so she had no choice but to sit back on the sofa. Watching the man with an unconcerned expression, she of course knew why Jiang Xuan would be aware of all Jiang Xiaohua’s needs.

That old man could read minds, so although Jiang Xiaohua couldn’t speak, he also knew what she was thinking.

Xia Ye felt that this ability was indeed quite useful here, "It seems you’d really be quite suitable for looking after children~"

Jiang Xuan finally deigned to shift his gaze back, lifting his eyelids to look at Xia Ye, "Don’t just talk about it, practice it."

Xia Ye paused, realizing what he meant by his words. She was about to retort when she saw a servant in the room and swallowed her words back down.

It wasn’t that she didn’t practice, it was that he couldn’t.

Seeing her not speaking, Jiang Xuan thought she was embarrassed and proactively changed the subject, "I heard that tomorrow is the Botanical Association’s Exchange Day. Your father has invited a very skilled Flower Gardener?"

An invitation had also been sent to him, but it was a pity he didn’t have the time.

Xia Ye, seeing that he knew how to divert the topic, followed his lead, "Yes, it’s a farm owner from the south..."

Meanwhile, at the long-unseen Xia Family’s old mansion.

Since Qiao Yufen learned that Xia Yourong was not her biological granddaughter and unrelated to her son by a single penny, she became considerably more haggard.

Every time the night was quiet, she would remember how she stubbornly forced her son and daughter-in-law to adopt Xia Yourong, how she was deceived by Xu Qing and her daughter’s sweet words, and opposed her true granddaughter Yeye with a cold attitude and commanding presence.

Thinking about these past years, she felt like she had lived as a giant joke!

She hadn’t spoken to Xia Yourong in several months. The only reason she still let Xia Yourong stay in the old mansion was to avoid being gossiped about behind her back.

After Xia Yourong made such a big fool of herself at her birthday banquet, her friends had been talking behind her back. Some had already guessed she had forced her son and daughter-in-law to adopt Xia Yourong because she mistakenly believed Xia Yourong was her biological granddaughter. If she now drove Xia Yourong out, it would be like telling them their guess was right.

A servant brought over hot tea, and Qiao Yufen scraped the lid of the cup several times over it, but couldn’t bring herself to drink it.

Her son’s household was getting livelier by the day; his wife’s clothing store had been in the news numerous times, and the fact that the president of Jiang Group doted on her granddaughter was envied by every madame in Capital City. Qiao Yufen called her son every now and then to check in, but her son never brought up inviting her to live at home.

It was she who had grandly insisted on taking Xia Yourong back to the old mansion, and now without her son saying anything, she couldn’t just go back on her own.

Qiao Yufen’s regrets twisted inside her like knots. If she had been nicer to Yeye back then, she would certainly be living in glory now, not stuck in the old mansion watching Xia Yourong parade in front of her without being able to vent her anger.

Just as she was mulling this over, Xia Yourong returned from outside, tossing her book bag onto a chair, "Grandma, I’m back."

Xia Yourong, now aware her grandmother no longer favored her, had given up and no longer pretended to be obedient or said sweet things to make her grandmother happy.

She had lost everything and could only rely on her grandmother’s concern about reputation to stubbornly stay in the old mansion.

The university she attended was located in the suburbs of Capital City, and after graduation, she wouldn’t be able to find a decent job, so not only would she return to the old mansion on weekends, but she would also often skip classes during the week.

She brazenly sat down opposite Qiao Yufen and ordered the servants around to pour her tea, "Give me a cup just like Grandma’s."

Qiao Yufen took a deep breath, feeling suffocated and furious!

Her emotions churned within her, and finally unable to suppress them any longer, she scoffed, "Xiaorong, now that you already know who your father is, haven’t you thought of getting in touch with him? After all, he is your biological father, and he might miss you, perhaps he would treat you better than this old woman."

She had tried to contact Xu Qing before, but to her surprise the phone number was disconnected. She later realized that Xu Qing was afraid of Xia Yourong holding her back and had made it clear she wanted to leave this encumbrance in the old mansion.

Xia Yourong felt disgusted whenever she thought of her biological father who was a butler. Why was it that Xia Ye was the legitimate young miss of the family, while she turned out to be the offspring of a butler?

The butler kicked out by the Xia Family was now likely carrying bricks on some construction site. She was already miserable enough without recognizing a construction worker as her father!

When had her grandmother ever spoken to her with such a tone?

Even towards Xia Ye back then, her grandmother’s attitude wasn’t like this!

She blew on her tea, batting her innocent big eyes, "Even Dad can’t get in touch with that person, how could I? Grandma, you forgot, I said before that no matter how good my biological father’s condition is, I won’t recognize him. I will always be your granddaughter, my dad’s daughter."
