Chapter 508 Xu Family’s Visit
Madam Xu was about to explode with anger. Mr. Xu frowned. “If we don’t acknowledge Qiao Xi, how are we going to save our son? How are we going to make her agree to settle?”
Madam Xu choked, and her face turned red.
At this moment, Xu Anran wiped her tears and said softly, “It’s better to acknowledge my younger sister… Actually, I… have always wanted a younger sister. Besides, she’s my parents’ flesh and blood. It’s not appropriate for her to be left outside.”
Madam Xu did not expect Xu Anran to say such words. Her heart ached even more. “My precious Anran is so obedient. She takes the overall situation into consideration. But we’re afraid that you’ll suffer.”
Mr. Xu sighed. “No matter what, we have to go. Even if we don’t acknowledge Qiao Xi, we should thank your sister, Yunqiu. Back then, it was she who saved Qiao Xi and brought that child to live in Li City. Now that we’ve finally found Yunqiu’s whereabouts, it’s time to give the Xia family an explanation.
“Moreover, didn’t the patriarch say that we must bring Qiao Xi back? If we don’t acknowledge her, it’ll be equivalent to disobeying the patriarch’s orders.”
Madam Xu’s heart trembled. She was indeed too agitated just now. After calming down, she also felt that it was inappropriate. Hence, she said hatefully, “Alright! It’s fine to let her return to the Xu family, but the title of Eldest Miss Xu has to be Anran’s! Qiao Xi is just a wild girl. Even if she returns to the Xu family, she shouldn’t even think about stealing Anran’s limelight. It’s already her blessing that she can return to the Xu family.”
Xu Anran said, “Mom, but she’s…”
“What’s the use of being my biological daughter?! I don’t have any feelings for her, and she even caused so much trouble before she returned to the Xu family. I think she’s a jinx. She’s not worthy to be my daughter. Even if she returns to the Xu family, I won’t admit that she’s my biological daughter!”
Xu Anran lowered her eyes and smiled coldly.
As expected, her mother would not accept Qiao Xi. After all, Qiao Xi had already hurt the Xu family and even caused her brother to be taken away. Even if Qiao Xi were to return to the Xu family, her mother would not be able to accept her.
At this moment, Qiao Xi had returned to her secret base. It was where she carried out her activities as Black Tide. It was an old estate. Although it was small and dilapidated, it was filled with people from all walks of life.
The Xu family finally found this place. After they got out of the car, they were truly shocked. They did not expect Qiao Xi to live in such a shabby place.
Xu Anran frowned. The road in this district was too narrow, so the car could not drive in. They could only get out of the car and walk in. However, it had just rained the day before, so the road was filled with muddy water. Her sheepskin heels would be completely ruined if they came into contact with water.
Madam Xu, who was at the side, suppressed her anger. Her face was gloomy as she felt that her daughter had embarrassed her. She could only grumble in a low voice, “I really didn’t expect my daughter to live in such a shabby place! It’s too embarrassing! If she returns to the Xu family, I don’t know how outsiders will mock our Xu family.”
The socialites of high society had to receive etiquette lessons and top-notch education since they were young. This was because they represented the family’s reputation. If outsiders knew that the Xu family’s daughter grew up in such a place and was vulgar, how would Madam Xu have the cheek to attend banquets in the future?
Madam Xu lowered her head. If it were not for her son, she would never have come to such a place. The few of them slowly went upstairs. The stairwell was narrow, and because it had been neglected for years, the cement stairs had already cracked. Every step they took felt like they were stepping on a large rock. They walked slowly. Mr. Xu was so tired that his forehead was covered in sweat. He confirmed the address and knocked on the door.
Qiao Xi, who was in the room, heard the knock on the door and smiled meaningfully. Then, she closed the computer and stood up to open the door with a surprised expression. “Madam
Xu?”
A moment later.
Qiao Xi asked with a calm expression, “Mr. and Madam Xu, are you saying that I’m your long-lost biological daughter? I was replaced by the Xu family’s enemy? That person was afraid of being discovered, so they found a child of similar age to replace me? You came to Li City to look for me?”
Madam Xu suppressed her anger and did not say anything
Mr. Xu looked up at the small house in front of him. He endured the annoyance in his heart and said gently, “We just found out that our child was replaced, so we followed the traces and came to Li City. There have been some conflicts between you and Anran, but it’s all a misunderstanding.”
