Chapter 1045: Completely Embarrassed
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xia Cheng was stunned on the spot. The guests’ gazes landed on him as if they were mocking him for not educating his granddaughter well. She actually contradicted him in public.
Qiao Xi was the Xia family’s enemy! She was as disobedient as her adoptive mother!
Xia Cheng’s tone was impatient. “Who invited you? Qiao Xi, even if you’re lying, you have to make it sound plausible. Who would invite you to Yingyun Hall on the day of Mengyan’s apprenticeship banquet? How could it be such a coincidence? Since you don’t want to repent, then don’t attend the apprenticeship banquet. Get the hell out immediately. I don’t want to see you!”
“I’m the one who invited her! Why? Can’t I?” At this moment, a dignified and domineering female voice came from outside.
Xia Cheng and Old Madam Xia felt their hearts tremble. The blood in their bodies seemed to have frozen. This voice was very familiar, so familiar that it made them feel afraid.
Yin Lianxin strode in with a strong aura. A group of juniors from the Yin family followed behind her. When she saw Qiao Xi, she hurriedly waved her hand to signal her to come to her side. Then, she glanced coldly at Xia Cheng and Ai Sumei. This adulterous pair was like a pile of trash. She did not need to take them seriously at all.
“When did Yingyun Hall become the Xia family’s territory? What right do you have to ask Xi Xi to get lost? Xi Xi rejected Xia Mengyan’s invitation, but does that mean she can’t come to Yingyun Hall?” Yin Lianxin’s series of questions made the expressions of the Xia family change.
Then, Yin Jingting took a few steps forward and said indifferently, “Old Master Xia.”
Xia Cheng gritted his teeth. Yin Jingting was clearly his biological grandson, but he was calling him ‘Old Master Xia’ so distantly. It was all because of Yin Lianxin.
Yin Jingting sneered. “Is there a problem with Grandma inviting Cousin to Yingyun Hall for a meal? How did it become a matter of her wanting to attend Xia Mengyan’s apprenticeship banquet? You shouldn’t think that everything revolves around you. It’ll make you look lowly!”
He glanced coldly at Xia Mengyan, and she could not help but tremble. The rest of the Xia family’s faces were livid as they pursed their lips.
“Let me give you a piece of advice. Don’t be too confident. Xi Xi doesn’t like the Xia family. If she wants connections, our Yin family can help her. Why trouble the Xia family? Fortunately, Xi Xi is family. She won’t bicker with you or publicize this matter. Otherwise, everyone in the Xia family will be embarrassed, including you and Xia Mengyan.”
His tone was very calm, but every word was a slap to Xia Cheng’s face. Xia Cheng’s facial muscles twitched, and the anger in his eyes was about to overflow.
Xia Cheng never expected that the person who invited Qiao Xi to Yingyun Hall to eat was actually Yin Lianxin!
He had really lost all her dignity!
Today was Xia Mengyan’s apprenticeship banquet. In order to show off, Xia Cheng had specially invited many guests. Now that everyone had clearly heard Yin Lianxin’s words, they discussed softly, “I heard that Miss Qiao is the only girl in the Yin family, so the entire Yin family dotes on her very much. She naturally has a good relationship with the Yin family. This time, she’s here to eat with the Yin family, but Xia Cheng can’t differentiate between right and wrong. He insisted that Miss Qiao relied on Xia Mengyan to enter. He’s really flattering himself!”
“Although the Xia family has been developing very well in recent years, the gap between them and the Yin family is not small. If it weren’t for the Yin family’s support back then, the Xia family wouldn’t be where they are today. How could Xia Cheng have the cheek to make things difficult for the Yin family’s daughter?!”
The discussion of everyone entered Xia Cheng’s ears, and his mind buzzed. In the past, he was the live-in son-in-law of the Yin family. Everyone said that he relied on his wife to support him. He had already divorced Yin Lianxin for so many years, but there were still people who said that he relied on Yin Lianxin to make a fortune.
He gritted his teeth, the anger and resentment in his heart multiplying. It was all Yin Lianxin’s fault! It was all her fault!
In the past, Yin Lianxin had always been high and mighty. As a woman, she did not know how to take care of her husband and raise her children, but she liked to do business. Her limelight completely overshadowed him, her husband. Now, her eyes were still so cold and calm. It was as if he was just a speck of dust in her eyes. No matter what he did, it could not affect her emotions.
When he thought about this, Xia Cheng felt as though the anger in his heart about to break out of his body. His eyes were bloodshot as he gritted his teeth. “The Yin family can invite Qiao Xi to Yingyun Hall, but have you made an appointment? This is Yingyun Hall. Since you’re here, you have to abide by the rules. Could it be that you only managed to come in because you claimed to be Mengyan’s family?”
Qiao Xi: “…” This person was really shameless!
Yin Jingting: “…”
Seemingly shocked by Xia Cheng’s inexplicable confidence, no one said anything.
