Chapter 514 Successfully Snatched Xu Anran’s Room

“What are you arguing about?!” At this moment, Mr. Xu and Madam Xu went upstairs. Madam Xu said impatiently, “Have you handled the matter of the room?”

Qiao Xi did not say anything. Xu Anran said aggrievedly, “Mom, Sister… she doesn’t like the room I decorated for her. She… She wants my room, but I…”

The Xu couple looked at each other, then glared fiercely at Qiao Xi. “Didn’t we already arrange a room for you? Why do you have to snatch your sister’s?”

Qiao Xi sneered. Xu Anran was still gnashing her teeth in anger just now, but she pretended to be weak in front of the Xu couple.

If she were just an ordinary child, she would definitely be sad because her parents despised her and might even leave the Xu family. However, she was Qiao Xi. She would make whoever wanted to deal with her pay the price.

Qiao Xi raised her eyes. “Madam Xu, do you really not agree to let me stay in this room?”

“Anran is so thoughtful. She arranged a room for you before you even came, but you want to steal her room instead! Why are you so insensible?!”

Madam Xu frowned. She felt that her biological daughter was really not modest.

Qiao Xi was helpless. “Alright, if you don’t want me to stay here, then forget it. I’ll go stay in the basement, but if news of this gets out and outsiders know that the Xu family’s biological daughter is staying in the basement, I don’t know what they’ll think of the Xu family.”

Madam Xu froze. Mr. Xu was confused, “Staying in the basement?”

Qiao Xi had an aggrieved expression. “Yes, the room my sister arranged for me is in the basement. Moreover, the servants’ rooms are all there too. My sister said that there are no empty rooms on the second and third floors. The empty rooms on the third floor have all been made into her dressing rooms, so I have to stay in the basement. I thought my parents knew about it. Otherwise, why wouldn’t they agree to let me stay in Xu Anran’s room?

“At first, I thought that my sister didn’t like me, so she arranged for me to stay in the basement behind my parents’ backs. It turns out you all know about it. Perhaps this is the Xu family’s rule. A biological daughter is only qualified to stay in the basement while an adopted daughter can stay on the spacious and bright third floor.

“Actually, it doesn’t matter where I stay, but if news of this gets out, it won’t be good for the Xu family’s reputation. It’ll make outsiders think that the Xu family’s upbringing isn’t strict. Since Dad and Mom think so, I’ll just stay in the basement.”

Mr. Xu quickly stopped her. “Wait!”

Mr. Xu glared at Xu Anran, then said seriously, “Anran, pack your things now. In the future, Xi Xi will be staying in this room!”

Xu Anran’s eyes instantly turned red as she shed tears aggrievedly. “Dad! Alright! i’ll move out now.”

This damned Qiao Xi! She had been gone for 20 years. What right did she have to snatch away what belonged to her the moment she returned?

She snatched her room as soon as she came. Wouldn’t she go overboard in the future?

Madam Xu’s heart ached as she advised, saying, “Xi Xi, there’s no empty room upstairs. You can just stay in the basement for the time being. It’s much better than the room you used to stay in, anyway. Why are you…”

Madam Xu did not think that there was anything wrong with letting Qiao Xi stay in the basement. Instead, she thought that she was very suitable. After all, she came from the slums.

“The basement is indeed better than the old neighborhood I lived in, but…”

Qiao Xi paused for a moment and continued, “But I’m the daughter of the Xu family now. If I hadn’t been swapped back then, I would have been the one staying in this room. Madam Xu, you wouldn’t even have known Xu Anran, yet you think that I’m not worthy of living in this room? Then do you think Xu Anran is worthy?

“She’s just an adopted daughter, but she’s staying in the largest and most luxurious room in the entire villa. I’m your biological daughter, but I have to stay in the basement. Do you think that’s appropriate?

“The Xu family is a noble family, after all. If others find out that the Xu family doesn’t care about status, aren’t you afraid of being mocked by the other families in high society? Aren’t you afraid that the company’s interests will be affected?”

Everyone frowned.

Madam Xu gritted her teeth and raised her hand with the intention of slapping Qiao Xi.

Mr. Xu quickly grabbed her hand and stopped her. “Xi Xi is right. Anran, how could you arrange for your sister to stay in the basement? You can’t be so unruly in the future!”

Xu Anran was already angry. Hearing her father scolding her, her tears began to fall.
