Chapter 327: 327 Family (1)

Xia Siyu originally had no interest in the affairs of the Xia Family; no matter how they were churned, they would not catch her eye or enter her heart.

It began with Xia Sicai’s voice: “… Dad, there’s no need to force her to sit at the main table. In fact, whether the Bo Family acknowledges her is another matter.”

“How could they not acknowledge her? The marriage between her and Bo Yan was arranged by both parents, and they have a legitimate marriage certificate from the civil affairs bureau, protected by the state law. They are not acknowledging it publicly now only because of their status, which makes it inconvenient to reveal. If Bo Yan dares not to recognize her, to not let her sit at the main table, I won’t care about anything else. I will make sure Old Master Bo gives Siyu an explanation!”

Standing outside the door, Xia Siyu got the gist of the situation; it was her father, Xia Youbiao, who wanted her to sit at Bo Yan’s table. He saw this as an opportunity for Bo Yan to formally introduce her identity to the public: She wasn’t some scandal-ridden, talentless vase; she was the precious daughter of the Xia Family, the daughter-in-law of the Bo Family!

However, her dear sister, Xia Sicai, obviously didn’t share this view: “Dad, I helped Ayi organize this birthday feast, and they didn’t let her go on stage, didn’t arrange her introduction or her place.”

“Can’t we add that now? What’s wrong with saying one more sentence? Aren’t you her sister? Can’t you think a little for her benefit?” Xia Youbiao clearly was a bit defiant.

He had learned from experience. When he married Xia Siyu’s mother, Wen Qunxiao, he was cautious of her actress status and her reputation and did not publicize it.

This hesitance had planted the seeds of trouble.

If he had known, he would have proclaimed her as his wife, the daughter-in-law of the Xia Family, from the start. Then she would not have taken the child and left for overseas.

Xia Sicai was still trying to convince him: “Dad, as you said, she and Bo Yan both have their own considerations. They are adults now, and since they haven’t mentioned it themselves, it obviously isn’t the right time yet. You also know they are celebrities now; if we disclose it casually, they might lose their work.”

Xia Youbiao was now unhappy: “If she doesn’t work, then she doesn’t work. I can support her! And if that Bo Yan kid dares to wrong her, I’ll go and twist his head off to vent her anger!”

If it weren’t for Xia Siyu’s determination to become a star, if she hadn’t refused to let her family interfere with her work and life, he would have stepped in to handle even the dirtiest scandals.

Now, Xia Siyu was no longer like that.

When she first debuted, many bosses behind the scenes wanted to take advantage of her. Xia Youbiao saw it and worried, protecting her from many disasters.

But this girl, just like her mother, had a stubborn temperament. Unless Bo Yan and the Bo Family took a stand, she would never bow her head, nor would she take the initiative to accommodate.

Xia Sicai glanced at her brother, Xia Ju’an, who also felt that Xia Sicai was somewhat biased, but the birthday banquet was about to start, and their quarreling wouldn’t help. Between his mother and sister on one side, and his father and younger sister on the other, he could only play the peacemaker.

“Dad, Sicai has some points too. For example, publicizing this matter should be discussed with Bo Yan. Sometimes it’s not about the relationship, but really about work. They both have management teams behind them; we can’t make things difficult for those people.” He calmed him with these words, then suggested: “Otherwise, let’s have Siyu sit at our table.”

Her relationship with Bo Yan was not suitable for public disclosure, after all, marital issues are a big deal in the entertainment industry. But revealing her identity as the precious daughter of the Xia Family would be all benefit and no harm.
