1276 Smart People Will Choose Old Madam Yin
Qiao Xi’s eyes narrowed slightly as the corners of her mouth curled into a cold smile.
‘Xia Yunlou, you’ve been occupying this identity for too long. You’ve even forgotten who you really are! It’s time for you to return it!’
Mr. Luo’s words stunned everyone present for a moment. Everyone looked at Xia Yunlou again. Earlier, they saw Xia Yunlou trying her best to defend Xia Mengyan and force Qiao Xi to admit her mistake. At this moment, they finally realized that Xia Yunlou was Old Madam Xia’s daughter.
Everyone instantly snorted. “Xia Yunlou is actually Xia Yunqiu’s biological sister? In other words, she’s Yin Lianxin’s daughter?”
“I thought she was Ai Sumei’s daughter! Otherwise, why would she keep speaking up for the granddaughter of the mistress? Moreover, I never heard that Xia Yunlou was in contact with the Yin family!”
“Back then, when Yin Lianxin and Xia Cheng divorced, the three children were supposed to follow Yin Lianxin back to the Yin family. Unexpectedly, Xia Yunlou suddenly went back on her word the next day and decided to live with Xia Cheng and Ai Sumei.
“Is there a possibility that Xia Yunlou is the daughter of Xia Cheng and Ai Sumei?! Maybe Xia Cheng secretly brought Xia Yunlou home and lied to Yin Lianxin, saying that she was their daughter. After all, Xia Yunlou hasn’t been in contact with the Yin family for so many years but lives with Ai Sumei. Maybe she’s Xia Cheng’s illegitimate daughter.”
Xia Yunlou’s face suddenly turned pale. Everyone was discussing, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
It was not like that! She was Yin Lianxin’s daughter. She was not an illegitimate daughter. She had always been the legitimate daughter of the Xia family.
Mr. Luo raised an eyebrow and asked, “Madam Xia, are you sure you’re Madam Xia Yunqiu’s biological sister?”
Xia Yunlou abruptly looked up, her eyes filled with panic. Xia Cheng, who was at the side, also widened his eyes. At this moment, he could no longer care about the porcelain sculpture. He hurriedly explained, “Mr. Luo! You can’t spout nonsense. Of course, Yunlou is Yunqiu’s younger sister. She’s my and Lianxin’s daughter!”
“Oh? Really?” Mr. Luo looked at Xia Cheng with a faint smile.
Xia Cheng’s heart thumped violently. He originally thought that Mr. Luo would not interfere in the Xia family’s private matters, but the next second, Mr. Luo asked again, “But Madam Xia, since you’re Old Madam Yin’s daughter, why haven’t you been in contact with her for so many years? Moreover, after Old Madam Yin and Chairman Xia divorced, your brother and sister returned to the Yin family with Old Madam Yin. Why did you choose to stay with the Xia family? Are you unwilling to be a member of the Yin family?”
He suddenly raised his voice in the last sentence, scaring Xia Yunlou so much that her entire body trembled.
Everyone’s gaze landed on Xia Yunlou. Be it status or money, the Yin family was a hundred times better than the Xia family. Smart people would choose to live with Old Madam Yin. After all, she was their biological mother. Moreover, Old Madam Yin was the head of the Yin family, so she would not treat them badly. However, Xia Yunlou stayed in the Xia family and lived with the mistress. This was really too strange.
Could it be that she was not Old Madam Yin’s real daughter?
Once everyone began to suspect something, a seed would start to germinate in their hearts. No matter how Xia Yunlou explained, she would not be able to easily change their minds.
“That’s not true!” Xia Yunlou roared, and her lips trembled slightly. She clenched her fists nervously with a terrifying expression. “I’m Yin Lianxin’s daughter! There’s a reason why I didn’t choose to return to the Yin family with her. Could it be that I’m not her daughter just because I didn’t choose to go with her?
“My parents got divorced, and it was my choice who I wanted to live with! The Yin family’s blood flows in my body. How am I not a member of the Yin family?” Xia Yunlou roared self-righteously, and as soon as she finished speaking, she glared fiercely at Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi sneered in her heart. Xia Yunlou was a little smarter than before.
Xia Cheng immediately echoed, “Mr. Luo, you’ve misunderstood. Yunlou chose me because she was afraid that I would be sad. Actually, she also wanted to live with her brother and sister, but she was sensible since she was young and couldn’t bear to abandon me, so she chose to live with me. All these years, she has been missing her brother and sister. No matter what, she’s Lianxin’s biological daughter. Her bloodline can’t be changed.”
“Chairman Xia, you have a point,” Mr. Luo replied casually.
Xia Cheng thought that Mr. Luo must be dissatisfied because of the porcelain sculpture, so he wanted to make things difficult for the Xia family. Mr. Luo was still pressing on just now, so when he suddenly responded in this way, it made Xia Cheng nervous.
As expected, Mr. Luo smiled. “Perhaps I misunderstood. It’s just that Madam Xia Yunqiu and our young madam were good friends back then. Back then, when Madam Xia was living on Xuan Island, Xia Yunlou had even gone there, so the head of the family instructed me to give a gift to Madam Xia Yunqiu’s younger sister. I was afraid that I would remember wrongly, so I wanted to be sure.”
