1686 Bring Her Back For The Xia Family’s Reputation

A week later, Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng were discharged from the hospital and returned to Longwan Residential.

Uncle Sheng and Xiao Lan tidied up Longwan Residential and even made many delicious dishes to celebrate their safe return.

When everyone in Li City heard that Mrs. Gu was back, they all used the excuse of visiting to please Gu Zheng. However, they were all rejected by Uncle Sheng. There was only one person whom Uncle Sheng could not make the decision on.

“Young Madam, Old Madam Xia called to say that she wants to visit you.”

“Yin Lianyi?”

“Yes, she personally called and even sent someone to deliver the invitation. She’s the old madam of the Xia family, after all, so I didn’t refuse immediately. I just said that it would depend on your body’s recovery.”

Actually, Uncle Sheng did not want Young Madam to go. After all, even a fool could tell that Old Madam Xia had ill intentions.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Xi smiled. “Old Madam Xia invited me so sincerely. Of course, I have to see her!”

Uncle Sheng was a little surprised, but he still called back according to her wishes.

The next day, Old Madam Xia came to visit. Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng were also waiting at home, but this time, not only was Old Madam Xia here, but Xia Chunyu also came.

Xia Chunyu helped Yin Lianyi into the villa. Xia Chunyu seemed to have changed into a different person. When she saw Qiao Xi, she even called out obediently, “Sister Xi Xi.”

Yin Lianyi chuckled and said, “Xi Xi, Chunyu has already told me everything. She was too wilful and made you angry, so I came to visit today to get Chunyu to apologize to you.”

Xia Chunyu handed her a box. “Sister Xi Xi, this is my apology gift. It was my fault before. Can you forgive me?”

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. Was this person really Xia Chunyu? She actually apologized so submissively?

It seemed that Yin Lianyi had said something that made the arrogant Xia Chunyu lower her voice in front of her. There must be a great benefit to it. That was why she hid her resentment and came to apologize.

Qiao Xi took the gift and said indifferently, “You’re being so sincere, so, of course, I’ll forgive you!”

The smile on Xia Chunyu’s face was a little stiff, but Yin Lianyi, who was at the side, was very natural. She did not like Qiao Xi, but she had to coax Qiao Xi to come back to the Xia family. It was not only for her blood but also for the Xia family’s reputation.

She had promised Chunyu that even if Qiao Xi returned to the Xia family, it would be absolutely impossible for her to surpa.s.s Chunyu’s status. When Qiao Xi arrived in the capital and their territory, they could slowly deal with Qiao Xi.

Yin Lianyi sat down and slowly said, “Xi Xi, you’re Yunqiu’s daughter, so you’re a child of the Xia family. You should return to the capital and show your face so that everyone knows your ident.i.ty.”

Qiao Xi chuckled, and her eyes carried a trace of ridicule.

Qiao Xi’s face was filled with doubt. “That’s really strange! You found me last year. This matter should have spread to the capital a long time ago. Why did you come looking for me now?”

“…” Old Madam Xia was instantly speechless.

Qiao Xi put on a lonely expression. “The Yin family has long announced my ident.i.ty to the public. As my real grandmother, you only came to look for me at this time? Actually, you don’t want me to return to the Xia family, right? It’s just that my ident.i.ty has spread. So for the sake of the Xia family’s reputation, you can only bring me back.”

“Qiao Xi!” Yin Lianyi’s expression was gloomy.

“I know you don’t like Mom, so you don’t like me. Moreover, if I return to the Xia family, Miss Xia, the adopted daughter, will be in an awkward situation, so I shouldn’t go back.”

“Shut up!” Yin Lianyi glared at her.

Qiao Xi was shocked, and her eyes turned red from grievance. The servants beside her all felt their hearts ache.

Seeing the people around her sigh, Yin Lianyi calmed down and said gently, “Xi Xi, you’ve misunderstood. I’ve long wanted to bring you home, but the Xia family was in chaos at that time, so it wasn’t safe to bring you home. That’s why…”

“The Xia family was in chaos? Why didn’t I hear about it? On the contrary, it was the Qiao family that was in chaos!” Qiao Xi sighed lightly. “My stepmother and the illegitimate daughter wanted to chase me out of the Qiao family, so I was struggling to survive under their hands. Old Madam Xia, did you think that it was safe for me to stay with the Qiao family?”

Everyone in Li City knew how much Mrs. Gu had suffered in the Qiao family’s residence back then. Qiao Rou stole her fiance, and Xu Mei schemed to frame her. It was only after she married Mr. Gu that Mrs. Gu completely broke away from that family.

Now, Old Madam Xia was saying that it was safer for Mrs. Gu to stay with the Qiao family as the Xia family was in chaos back then?

Would anyone believe her?

Xia Chunyu, the adopted daughter, was living so comfortably with the Xia family. She even became a popular socialite in the capital. The adopted daughter was living so comfortably, but Qiao Xi was living in fear!
