Everyone started to whisper to each other. Even though they said it was softly, the volume of their voices could be heard clearly by the people inside.
“A dog that bites doesn’t bark. Isn’t this disgusting? He can even hide it from the person next to him for the rest of his life. He’s really scheming.”
“To think that I used to sympathize with him. You really know a person’s face but not his heart.”
“Stay away from the Xi family in the future. Who knows if all of them are so calculative.”
The elders of the XI family had always favored Xi Jingxing. Although they were very surprised, having an illegitimate child was not a big deal. After all, they did not need to raise the child.
As a man, he would only be at a disadvantage if he was so honest. Now, it seemed that XI jingxing was quite capable.
Initially, he had wanted to persuade Xi Yan to accept Chen Xiangxiang as his sister out of consideration for their blood ties.
However, when they heard the discussions of the noblewomen, they all looked a little unhappy. They immediately realized that things were not looking good.
If Xi Jingxing’s affectionate character was set up well, it would be helpful to them. At the very least, when they went out to discuss business, they would think that Xi Jingxing’s character was good. Under the same conditions.., they were all willing to work with the XI family.
For example, if the younger generation were to fall in love and get married, that would be even more useful. When the example of Xi Jingxing was mentioned, many rich families’daughters were willing to marry the XI family.
These wealthy ladies had a good impression of XI jingxing and were willing to help set up a matchmaker.
In any case, if Xi Jingxing’s love story was set up well, the rest of the Xi family would be able to enjoy dividends.
Now that Xi Jing’s character had collapsed, he had ruined his reputation in the circle of wealthy ladies. Who would be willing to buy the XI family’s debt?
The elders of the Xi family had thought this through, so of course, they had to draw a clear line.
“Jing Xing, you’re a fool! It’s your fortune that Qingcheng married into the Xi family. Why Don’t you cherish it!”
“I will never allow this illegitimate daughter to enter the XI family. What does she think the Xi family is?”
“Even though the XI family has declined, they are not the kind of family that doesn’t care about anything. How can they tolerate this?”
“Jing Xing, hurry up and apologize to your father-in-law. If you’ve done something wrong, just admit it. There’s no use in quibbling!”
Xi Yan said, “The damage has already been done. What’s the use of apologizing? Father, don’t come looking for me in the future. I don’t want to see you.”
He had already expected the elders of the Xi family to come up with some kind of excuse.
Now that they were helping to criticize Xi Jingxing, it was in the end to protect their interests. He also wanted Xi Yan to forgive Xi Jingxing and continue to be intimate with the family.
Even if he did not know that he was not Xi Jingxing’s biological son, he could not forgive such a person on behalf of his mother.
Moreover, this might not be the only thing that the other party had done to his mother.
“You don’t want to see me?”Xi Jingxing was in disbelief. He thought that his son would understand him, but he did not expect the other party to say the same thing to Yan XI.
“Yes, I won’t forgive your father. In the future, if you have any problems, just ask the lawyer to contact me directly.”Xi Yan’s expression was very serious.
He had always been a soft-hearted person. He did not have any opinions and just went along with the flow. Whatever others said, he would do. He did not have much of a presence in the family either.
However, when he spoke with a cold and serious face now, there was an inexplicable aura of authority.
Only then did people realize that he had already grown up and could take charge of his own affairs.
Xi Lu Rong took a step forward. “Xi Yan, you can’t do this. That’s your father!”
Xi Yan walked past Xi Luorong and into the door. He stood before the Big Round Table.
Without warning, he reached out and tugged at the tablecloth forcefully. With a series of crackling sounds, the elders of the Xi family got up and tried to avoid him.
Everyone looked at Xi Yan in shock. They suddenly remembered the time when Yan Yunzhi smashed the bowl. They vaguely saw his uncle’s shadow on Xi Yan.
The few old men almost fainted. This was a psychological trauma for the rest of their lives.
“Xi Yan, calm down!”Someone said in a trembling voice. Then, he cast a reproachful gaze at Xi Lulong. It was all his fault for being talkative and being so unyielding.
Before Xi Yan came, he had specially asked the hotel to remove the carpet in the private room so that the sound of the cups shattering would be louder and more imposing.
He looked at Xi Jingxing. “You brought an illegitimate daughter to my house and even lied to me that I was just a kind-hearted adoptive brother’s daughter. This is not only a slap to my mother’s face, but it’s also a slap to my face. Do you still treat me as your son? “Since you didn’t care about my feelings and brought people to cause trouble for me, then of course I can choose to never forgive you.”
There were some things that Yan Xi did, and others would criticize her. They would think that she was too cold-blooded and stand on the moral high ground to criticize her.
However, if Xi Yan did it herself, then others would say the same thing.
Not only would they not criticize her, they would even think that he was hot-blooded and had a temper, and that he could take revenge for his mother and sister.
In essence, it was a double standard. They thought that a man could be cold, aggressive, and defend his absolute family status to challenge his father’s authority.
And a woman who was not kind was someone who was not easy to get along with. There was something wrong with her character.
“If you hadn’t given Yan Yan’s anti-cancer injection to your mistress, she would have recovered a long time ago. She wouldn’t be lying in the hospital right now and almost lost her life. So Don’t come looking for me and Yan Yan anymore. Otherwise, don’t blame me for falling out with you.”
Xi Jingxing was shocked, but he could not find any words to refute.
The others were even more afraid to speak. They were scared by Xi Yan’s cold expression and were afraid that they would be blamed.
Xi Yan stepped on the broken porcelain glass and walked out. No one dared to stop him.
It was mainly because of that sentence that no one dared to stop him. Everyone said that a nephew was like an uncle, and Yan Yunzhi was everyone’s nightmare.
Moreover, Yan Feilu was still standing at the door. Behind him stood two strong men in black quietly. They were the kind that could send people flying with one punch. They were not to be trifled with.
Yan Feilu chuckled. “Alright, I Won’t disturb your father-daughter reunion. Since it’s a family banquet, let’s celebrate properly. Those of us who don’t have anything to do with it will leave.”
Then, he even asked the bodyguard to gently close the door.
After making his stand clear, Xi Yan and the group of people inside were definitely not a family.
He and Xi Yan walked out one after another. The noble ladies did not say anything. Instead, they continued to stand in the corridor for a while, waiting to eat the melons that would follow.
Sure enough, after a while, there was a crisp sound coming from the private room. From the sound, one could tell that they had used 100% of their strength.
Then, Chen Xiangxiang’s sharp voice rang out. “Xi Jingxing, what right do you have to hit me! You’ve never raised me before, so what right do you have to hit me!”
The noblewomen came forward. They did not expect that the door was not purposely left a crack. It was pushed open by someone, and the door opened with a bang.
The people inside and outside looked at each other.
The noblewomen coughed lightly. Of course, they could not admit that they were just watching the show. In a second, they switched to stop the fight.
“Mr. XI, don’t hit the child. What’s wrong with the child! ?”
Xi Jingxing’s temple throbbed with pain. He had never been criticized like this in his life.
He finally could not help it. His vision went black and he fell down.
“Oh my, Mr. Xi!”
