Jiang Capital, Xie family’s wedding banquet.

They had gathered all the famous and powerful people in the Jiang Capital. If anyone here casually stomped their feet, the entire Jiang Capital would shake.

“Welcome to the banquet. Please give me, Xie Zhanan, some face. Today is my wedding with Xia Chu. I hope everyone will not stand on ceremony and enjoy the food and drinks.”

Xie Zhanan was so happy his entire face was scrunched up together. He hugged the woman beside him tightly with one hand. Xia Chu, she was his first love.

If it wasn’t for Jiang Wanning, he wouldn’t have been separated from Xia Chu. But now, Jiang Wanning was finally dead and the company would be his in the future.

“Daddy, why didn’t you inform my younger brother and I about such a joyous occasion happening at home?”

The one who spoke was the eldest daughter of the Xie family. She had inherited all of Jiang Wanning’s merits. She was talented and beautiful. And the moment she appeared, she was the center of attention.

Xie Nian watched as Xie Zhanan’s smile froze on his face and she felt a wave of comfort and happiness wash over him. Xie Zhanan should think about who was the reason why he had been so successful for so many years.

“Nian Nian, you and Chengcheng are here. It’s because your studies are a little busy, so I didn’t get someone to inform you. But since you’re here, you can stay with Zhizhi.”

It was only then that Xie Nian saw the girl that her stepmother had brought over. Xie Zhizhi looked like a pretty daughter from a humble family. This phoenix man was really daring.

He was not afraid of being mocked.

“Sister, let me give you a toast. I hope that the two of us can get along harmoniously in the future.”

The people around them were all watching this scene. If Xie Nian didn’t accept it, it would reflect badly on her.

After downing the wine in the glass, Xie Nian said in a cold voice that only the two of them could hear, “My good sister, even if your mother enters the Xie family, she won’t be able to change the fact that she is the third party.”

Xie Nian’s words hit Xie Zhizhi’s sore spot. She was supposed to be the eldest daughter of the Xie family and sought after by countless people. However, because of Xie Nian’s existence, she had lost all of those.

“Niannian.”

Zhou Zheng was the son of Jiang Wanning’s best friend. When Jiang Wanning was still alive, he had arranged the marriage personally. And even when Jiang Wanning was no longer alive, he did not propose to cancel the marriage.

“Zhou Zheng.”

Looking at the two of them, Xie Zhizhi felt her heart ache again. She couldn’t care less about her expression and stared at Xie Nian viciously.

When Xia Chu saw this, she hurriedly went forward and pulled Xie Zhizhi to the side. She said earnestly, “Zhizhi, don’t spoil my big plans. Can’t you wait a little longer?”

“No, Mom. You didn’t see how Xie Nian acted. She did it on purpose,” Xie Zhizhi pouted and said angrily.

“Xie Nian is a b*itch, just like her mother.”

Jiang Wanning had been oppressing her for so many years, and now, Jiang Wanning’s daughter was still doing the same thing to her daughter. Xia Chu gritted her teeth.

“From the looks of your stepsister just now, I’m afraid you won’t have it easy in the future.”

“Haha.” Xie Nian sneered. When Xie Zhanchang and the two others stood together, the two of them seemed like they were unnecessary.

She could not stay here any longer.

Looking around, Xie Cheng was nowhere to be seen. He must had left long ago.

After her mother left, Xie Cheng never got close to her again. Every time he saw her, he would treat her coldly, even colder than strangers.

“This must be the eldest daughter of the Xie family. Why is she here? Looking at her, it might be…”

“Don’t say it. The eldest daughter of the Xie family looks like a stunner.”

“She’s just a sl*t. Let’s see how the eldest Ms. Xie will explain herself when the Xie family arrives.”

“—”

Xie Nian’s head was hurting really badly and the surroundings were noisy.

She was like a fish that had been fried and roasted. She felt very uncomfortable all over.

“They’re here. The head of the Xie family is here.”

Looking at the scene before him, Xie Zhanan felt his face was being repeatedly rubbed against the ground. It was all because of his eldest daughter.

Slap.

Xie Nian’s face was burning with pain and instantly became red and swollen. One could imagine how much strength Xie Zhanan had used.

“You shameless sl*t. I, Xie Zhanan, will not have this daughter in the future.”

Xie Nian laughed lightly. Everything that happened yesterday flashed through her mind like a roller coaster.

“My good father, I only slept with a hustler. If you can casually bring back a woman from outside, why can’t I find a man? Besides, I’m already twenty-two this year.”

Some people there agreed with Xie Nian’s words. Everyone was already adults.

“But Sister, don’t you think Brother Zhou Zheng will feel sad because of your behavior?” Heartache for him was written all over Xie Zhizhi’s face, her tone righteous as she spoke..
