C8 Bidding Party for Scum Men and Women

After that, she had not had any contact with Xia Family for almost a week.

In the blink of an eye, the time for the engagement banquet had come. This was a marriage alliance between the Xu and Xia families, therefore all well-known political and business celebrities were present.

Uncle Xia personally stood at the door to greet the guests. Seeing that the time was nearly upon them, he hurriedly urged Xu Hao to go inside the room to see if Xia Xingyan was ready.

"Xingyan and her mother have suffered a lot in the past." He sighed and said earnestly, "Now that I've handed her over to you, you can't disappoint me. If you treat her badly, I won't let you off."

Xu Hao nodded his head seriously and expressed his intentions immediately, "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Xingyan and never let her suffer, not even the slightest."

Uncle Xia, satisfied with his attitude, patted his shoulder. But suddenly, as if he thought of something, he turned around and looked towards the door. "That unfilial daughter of mine will also be coming today, right?"

"Naturally."

"I hope she doesn't cause any trouble." A trace of annoyance immediately surfaced on Uncle Xia's face, "It was so difficult for us to invite Mr. Sheng to attend the banquet, so we definitely can't let anything go wrong. We have to ensure that everything goes off without a hitch."

This Mr. Sheng held most of the economic power in Asia and Europe, and most people from the business world today were after him.

If he could take advantage of this opportunity to get even the tiniest bit closer to him, then the Xia Family and the development of the Xu Family would not be a problem in the future.

While the two of them were talking, Xia Xingyan had finished dressing and leisurely walked down the stairs.

She was wearing a long, plain, champagne - colored dress that made her skin appear as white as the freshly fallen snow, and her curly brown hair was pulled into a bun at the side, revealing her long, white neck.

The appearance of the bride had caused quite a stir. All of the guests present nodded their heads in praise of her beauty.

Xia Xingyan was overjoyed, but she still walked in front of Xu Hao as usual and hooked her arm with his.

Uncle Xia looked at how the two of them acted, and sighed with emotion, "I'm handing my precious daughter over to you. You have to cherish her well for me."

Xu Hao stretched out his hand and held Xia Xingyan's. He smiled at her and then turned his head back and solemnly promised, "I will live up to your expectations."

When the nearby guests saw this scene, they could not help but praise it, "Oh, this is indeed a match made between a talented man and a talented woman, it makes my heart feel happy."

Just as she finished her sentence, someone raised their voice.

"Didn't you say that there's a young miss in Xia Family? How come I haven't seen her for several years? If I remember correctly, this groom should have been her fiancé back then, right?"

Her words were like a bomb, causing the entire hall to be erupt in commotion.

Those who knew about this inside story lowered their voices and said, "How could she still have the nerve to reveal her face? I heard that back then, she had done something so shameful that they secretly sent her abroad. I don't even know whether she has returned or not."

"Who knows if that's true." Someone immediately retorted mockingly, "Isn't Old Master Xia's wife also a mistress? Who knows, maybe the apple doesn't fall far from the tree and she actually stole her sister's fiancé."

At that moment, there were many different opinions within the crowd. Uncle Xia's face also became gloomy from listening to the words that were circulating.

This was Xia Xingyan's engagement party, not an opportunity to dig into her past to gossip. How could he tolerate that woman becoming the focus of discussion here?

He was looking around the hall in annoyance when he saw Xia Xingcheng walking in with Xiaobao.

Although she hadn't shown her face in this circle for five years, her brilliance was still the same. Whether it was her appearance or her noble aura, she was a perfect match for the title of 'First Miss' that she had back then.

However, she seemed to have matured quite a bit. Her arrogance had become more restrained, revealing an even more unique impression.

"Look, I already said that the young miss of the Xia Family is not someone an ordinary person can be compared to. Just her temperament alone is enough to make people jealous."

The guest who'd just said that he thought Xia Xingyan wasn't inferior to her immediately lowered his head in shame.

Uncle Xia's expression had turned cold. He walked up to Xia Xingcheng and lowered his voice, trying his best to control his voice. "What's wrong with you? Didn't I say that you're not allowed to bring the child here?"

He felt that she was purposely going against his wishes and that she wanted to create a ruckus at Xia Xingyan's engagement party to make them feel uneasy.

He pointed towards the door, his expression was so furious,not a single emotion was held back. "Immediately get someone to send him away, or else I'll kick him out!"

Uncle Xia's dismissive attitude towards Xiaobao was like a needle that pierced Xia Xingcheng's heart.

"Since that's the case …" She looked back at the child in her arms, her back straight. "Why did you make me travel so far if it would make you unhappy?Don't worry, I'll leave with him right now."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Xia Xingyan instantly became anxious. She quickly forced a smile and advised, "Elder sister, don't leave. Daddy was just being impulsive. He hasn't once forgotten about you in the past five years."

With one hand holding onto Uncle Xia and the other holding her fiance Xu Hao, she tilted her head and smiled at Xia Xingcheng, "Don't be angry. Today is my engagement banquet, I really hope to be able to receive your blessing."

Looking at her, Xia Xingcheng couldn't help but sneer inside.

Such silent boasting was much stronger than her dignified words.

She wanted to show off how good her life was, to prove that she had already stolen her place in the Xia Family.

Xia Xingcheng saw this and ignored her. She turned her head to look at her father, who was still upset. "What? Do you want me to stay?"

Uncle Xia looked at her and felt that her eyes were full of misfortune. He impatiently waved his hand and yelled in a vicious tone, "Go and stand to the side. Don't wander in front of us."

She didn't have the mood to argue with him, so she held Xiaobao's hand and found a corner to sit down in.

Although the hall was bustling with noise and excitement, Xia Xingcheng only felt tired.

Five years ago, she was cruelly exiled abroad, and five years later, she had no choice but to attend the engagement banquet between Xu Hao and Xia Xingyan.

She didn't know what Uncle Xia was thinking.

The more she thought about it, the more her head started to ache. Her old illness had returned again, and she had not been able to sort it out for the past two days. Everything mixed together, causing her to hold her forehead in pain.

"Mommy." Xiaobao quickly noticed her discomfort. He carefully asked while holding onto the armrest of the chair, "Are you uncomfortable?"

Without waiting for Xia Xingcheng's orders, he ran to a waiter and asked for a cup of warm water in a childish voice.

The waiter looked at this obedient and sensible little boy and was immediately struck by how cute he was. He agreed and soon returned with a cup of water.

After drinking half of it, Xia Xingcheng felt slightly better.

She rubbed her temples, finally managing to calm down and when she looked up, she saw Uncle Xia and a man in his fifties walking towards her.
