Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 524: Worth It or Not? 9
Xia Yinian fell into contemplation because of Gu Yanran’s words.
"What are you thinking?" Gu Lingqian suddenly grasped her shoulder.
Startled, Xia Yinian snapped back to attention, looking up at him and shaking her head.
"Nothing much, just wondering what the meaning behind tonight’s banquet is, it seems like..."
"Your grandpa and father are here." Before Xia Yinian could finish her sentence, Gu Lingqian’s sharp eyes had already noticed this.
The Gu Family’s hall was large, extremely large.
Coming down the stairs, one would first pass by the side hall where the women gathered to chat and eat. Of course, they wouldn’t enter the side hall, but simply pass by it.
Looking up, one could see everything in the hall clearly, so it was obvious at a glance who was coming in through the entrance.
"Don’t worry about what kind of banquet it is for now. Anyway, face soldiers with generals and water with earthen barriers, alright?"
"Alright." Xia Yinian nodded, joining him to welcome the Xia Family’s members.
Since the last time at the hospital, when she secretly overheard her Grandpa Xia Yiru and her dad Xia Liyuan talking and found out she was not the Xia Family’s biological child, Xia Yinian had not seen the Xia Family’s members.
Actually, it wasn’t her fault. It wasn’t that she knew she had no blood relationship with the Xia Family and then resolved to cut off relations with them.
No matter what, the Xia Family raised her, especially her dad.
Over the years, though her dad’s care for her was not as much as his own biological daughter, it was already very good.
If not for them, she might have ended up starving to death on some street corner. So, even if she was not the Xia Family’s child, she couldn’t completely turn her back on them.
It’s just that since she was kidnapped last time and almost died, when she returned, she immediately became buried in endless busyness.
It was the busyness of life, with one thing happening after another, falling into one trap after another, constantly being pressed down by stress until she couldn’t breathe.
Going home had become a luxury. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Now seeing the Xia Family’s members again felt as if worlds had passed, and surprisingly, there was a sense of it being like a past life.
"Old Master Xia, Mr. Xia." Although Gu Lingqian also didn’t like the Xia Family’s members, he had long seen that they were never good to Nian Nian.
But, after all, they were Nian Nian’s grandparents and parents, and to avoid putting Xia Yinian in a difficult position, the proper courtesies had to be observed.
Xia Yinian could only look at Xia Yiru, calling out faintly, "Grandpa."
Then, looking at Xia Liyuan, her tone was somewhat complex: "...Dad."
Xia Liyuan’s heart stirred, wanting to pull this girl over and check if she had been eating well, if she had lost weight.
But, being glanced at by his father Xia Yiru, he didn’t dare to act rashly.
Xia Yinian could see the interaction between the two men, but she was already used to her father’s timidity. Some things, once you get used to them, they become natural and no longer matter.
"Nian Nian, take them to where the ladies are and have a chat, we’ll all go to the banquet hall together later."
Gu Lingqian gently squeezed her hand, whispering in her ear, "Don’t panic, I’ll be watching. If anyone bullies you, I’ll twist her arm."
His words, although not loud, sounded like whispers.
But in fact, not a single one of the Xia Family’s members couldn’t hear them.
If anyone bullied her, he would twist her arm! Such ruthless words!
Xia Chuxue was biting her lip, really feeling resentful, very resentful. But she was still pulled back and had her temper calmed down by her mom He Shuya.
This was the Gu Family’s place, they couldn’t be too presumptuous!
