Xu Anranâs eyes were cold. Although Qiao Xi was wearing ordinary clothes, her temperament was extraordinary. Her appearance and eyebrows were not similar to her motherâs, but she was very similar to her motherâs devastatingly beautiful and talented sister, Xia Yunqiu.
covered in dirt.
Xu Anran suddenly felt jealous. She restrained the emotions in her heart and pretended to be enthusiastic. âXi Xi, welcome home. We can live together in the future.â
Qiao Xi was speechless. Her tone made it seem as if she was the one who was adopted. Was it her blessing that the Xu family could accept her?
Her expression was indifferent as she sneered. âHeh! You want me to live with you? Xu Anran, youâre not a daughter of the Xu family, so why
to the Xu family. Iâm the eldest daughter of the Xu family. Could it be that⦠you still want to stay in the Xu family?â
As soon as she finished speaking, she entered the living room like a gust of cold wind. The servants immediately lowered their heads in fear. Only then did they realize that this unfamiliar lady was the biological daughter the Xu family came to Li City to look for.
Xu Anran was not the real daughter of the Xu couple.
When Madam Xu heard these words, she instantly said hatefully, âQiao Xi, what are you talking about? Youâre back, but why do you have to ask Anran to leave? Anran has been living in the Xu family for so many years, after all. Sheâs your sister. In the future, you have to respect her. Donât bring the shameless behavior you learned from outside to the Xu family!â
Qiao Xi had an innocent expression. âShameless behavior? How am I shameless? Madam Xu, you already said that Iâm your biological daughter. Xu Anran is someone who replaced me after she was swapped. Moreover, I heard that Xu Anran is only the daughter of a servant!â
Madam Xu was infuriated.
Qiao Xi remained calm. âIâve already returned to the Xu family, so Sister Anran should return to her biological parents. Could it be that Madam Xu thinks that Sister Anran will forever be the eldest daughter of the Xu family? Could it be that just because the Xu family is rich, she has to abandon her biological parents and pretend not to know anything?â
Madam Xu was so angry that her face turned red, but she did not know how to retort.
Before Madam Xu could speak, Qiao Xi nodded. âSo, this is how the Xu family educates their children. Anran doesnât need to care about her parentsâ lives or deaths. Thereâs no need for her to show filial piety to her parents. She should just stay in the Xu family and be the eldest daughter, right?â Madam Xu was so angry that she almost vomited blood. This little b*tch was really sharp-tongued! Xu Anran shed tears aggrievedly. âIf you want to chase me away, then Iâ¦â âAnran!â Madam Xu shouted anxiously, then her tone became gentle. âXi Xi, although Anran is not our biological daughter, she has been by my side for so many years. We have feelings for each other, so we plan to take her in as our adopted daughter. The two of you must get along well in the future.â Xu Anranâs eyes were filled with tears. âSister, I really just want to stay by Dad and Momâs side. I wonât snatch anything from you. Everything that happened before was a misunderstanding. Iâll let you have your way in the future. I donât want Mom to be sad, so donât make a scene, alright?â.
When Xu Anran approached, her eyes revealed a trace of provocation.
How was it? Was Qiao Xi very angry?
âSo what if youâre Dad and Momâs biological daughter? So what if youâre back? The person Dad, Mom, and Brother dote on is still me. Your appearance wonât change anything.â
Xu Anran was actually looking forward to Qiao Xi getting angry. As long as Qiao Xi made a scene, everyone would think that she was unreasonable and not worthy to be the eldest daughter of the Xu family.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Xi smiled lightly. âSure!â
The smile on Xu Anranâs face froze as she looked at her in disbelief.
Qiao Xi said indifferently, âMiss Xu, Iâm not fooling around. Iâm just stating the facts. Since youâre already the adopted daughter of the Xu family and Dad and Mom have agreed to let you stay here, I naturally wonât object. Itâs just one more person to feed. The Xu familyâs big business doesnât lack this bit of money. Weâll just take care of you!â
ââ¦â Xu Anran was instantly infuriated.
Her anger surged, and she took a few deep breaths to suppress her anger. After calming down, she said, âSister, Iâll bring you around now.â
Qiao Xi nodded. âAlright.â
