After almost a week, she had no contact with the Xia family.
In a blink of an eye, it was time to hold an engagement banquet. This time it was the marriage of the Xu Xia family. All the prominent political and business celebrities in the city were present.
Xia's father stood at the door to greet the guests. Seeing that the scheduled time was approaching, he quickly told Xu Hao to go inside and see if Xia Xingyan was ready.
"Xingyan and her mother have suffered a lot in the past." He sighed and said seriously, "Now that I have given her to you, you must not let me down. If you are even the slightest bit negligent towards her, I won’t be lenient.”
Xu Hao nodded solemnly and immediately expressed his stance: "Don't worry, I will take good care of Xingyan and never let her suffer any injustice."
Father Xia was very satisfied with his attitude and patted his shoulder with joy. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he turned to look at the door: "That unfilial daughter will also come today."
"Of course it will come."
"She better not cause any trouble for me." Xia's father's face suddenly showed a trace of irritability, "It's not easy to invite Mr. Sheng to attend this time. We must not make any mistakes. We must try our best to protect the whole situation." The party went perfectly.”
Mr. Sheng in his words holds most of the economic power in Asia and Europe. Even today, most of the well-connected figures in the political and business circles come to him.
If we can take advantage of this opportunity to establish even a small relationship with the other party, then it will not be a problem for the Xia family and the Xu family to prosper.
While the two were talking, Xia Xingyan had finished dressing up and walked down the stairs.
She wore a floor-length champagne-colored bare-shouldered gauze dress, which made her skin white as snow. Her brown curly hair was pulled into a bun and stuck to her neck, revealing her slender and fair neck.
It caused quite a stir as soon as she appeared on the scene, and the guests at the scene also nodded and praised, saying that this bride is really particularly charming and beautiful.
Xia Xingyan felt extremely proud, but she walked up to Xu Hao as usual and reached out to hold his arm.
Father Xia looked at the two of them facing each other and sighed in his heart: "I have handed over my precious daughter to you. You must cherish her well."
Xu Hao reached out and held Xia Xingyan's hand, looked at each other with a smile, then turned around and said solemnly, "I will not let you down."
When the guests nearby saw this scene, they couldn't help but praise: "Oh, this is a match made in heaven. It makes me feel sweet in my heart."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone raised her voice on the other side.
"Didn't I say that there is an eldest lady in the Xia family? She hasn't been seen for several years. If I remember correctly, this groom was her fiancé, right?"
Her words were like a depth charge, causing the entire hall to stir.
Someone who knew the inside story lowered his voice and said, "She has no nerve to show her face. I heard that the eldest lady of the Xia family was secretly sent abroad because she did something shameful. I don't know if she is back now."
"Who knows if that's the truth of the matter." Someone immediately retorted sarcastically, "Isn't Mr. Xia's wife now just a junior? Maybe her daughter was carved out of the same mold as her and robbed her? My sister’s fiancé.”
There were divergent opinions at the scene, and Xia's father's face darkened little by little as public opinion led.
This was Xia Xingyan's engagement party, not a gossip gathering to dig up Xia Xingcheng's past. How could he tolerate that woman becoming the focus of discussion at the scene.
As he glanced at the hall in annoyance, he saw Xia Xingcheng and Xiaobao walking into the banquet.
Although she has not appeared in this circle for five years, her brilliance is still the same when she appears again. Whether it is her appearance or her noble aura, they perfectly match her title as the number one socialite back then.
It's just that now she seems to be a lot more stable and mature, and she has restrained her eccentricity a little, showing a more unique and unique temperament.
"Look, I would say that the eldest lady of the Xia family is not comparable to ordinary people. Her temperament alone is enough to make people enviable."
Just now she said that she thought Xia Xingyan was as good as her guests, but then she lowered her head in shame.
Xia's father's face turned completely cold. He stepped in front of Xia Xingcheng in two steps, lowered his voice, and tried his best to control
He couldn't help but raise his voice: "What's the matter with you? Didn't I say that you are not allowed to bring the child?!"
He felt that the other party was deliberately against him and wanted to make some news at Xia Xingyan's engagement party to disturb their peace.
He raised his hand and pointed to the door, his expression so angry that he showed no mercy, "Find someone to send him away immediately, otherwise I won't be polite!"
Xia's father's attitude of avoiding Xiaobao was like a needle, which made Xia Xingcheng's heart hurt.
"In this case..." She held the child and looked back coldly, her back straight: "Why do you have to come all the way to make me unhappy? Don't worry, I will take Xiaobao with me right now. leave."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Xia Xingyan immediately became anxious. He hurriedly squeezed out a smile and persuaded her: "Sister, don't leave. Dad is just impulsive. In fact, he has never forgotten you in the past five years."
She held Xia's father in one hand and her fiancé Xu Hao in the other. She tilted her head and smiled at Xia Xingcheng: "Don't be angry, today is my engagement party with Xu Hao, I really hope to get you." blessing of."
Xia Xingcheng looked at her like this and couldn't help but laugh.
This silent show off is much more powerful than the high-sounding words she speaks.
Didn't she just want to show off how well off she was and prove that she had taken her place in the Xia family
Xia Xingcheng did not answer her words, but turned to look at his sulky father beside him: "Why, do you still want me to stay?"
Xia's father looked at her and felt that his eyes were full of bad luck. He waved his hand impatiently and shouted angrily: "Go and stay aside, don't wander in front of us."
She didn't want to argue with him, so she took Xiaobao's hand and found a corner to sit down.
The hall was bustling with people, but Xia Xingcheng only felt tired when looking at the scene of people drinking and drinking.
Five years ago, she was so cruel and ruthless that she was exiled abroad. Five years later, she had to attend Xu Hao and Xia Xingyan's engagement party in this capacity.
She didn't know what Xia's father was thinking in his mind.
The more she thought about it, the more headache she felt. The old illness had recurred and she was still a little acclimatized just two days after returning. The two symptoms came up together, and the pain was so painful that she couldn't hold on and held her forehead.
"Mommy." Xiaobao quickly noticed her discomfort and asked carefully while holding the armrest of the chair, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Without waiting for Xia Xingcheng's instructions, he trotted over to a waiter and asked her for a glass of warm water in anger.
The waiter looked at this obedient and sensible little guy and felt that he was really cute. Then he agreed and quickly brought back a glass of water.
Xia Xingcheng drank half a cup of warm water and felt a little more comfortable.
She was rubbing her temples to finally relax, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Father Xia walking over with a man in his late fifties.
