C7 An Engagement Between a Garbage Man and a Trash Woman

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. All of the well-known political and business celebrities were present.

Uncle Xia personally stood at the door to greet the guests. Seeing that the predetermined time was almost up, 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 my expectations. If you treat her lightly, I won't let you off lightly."

Xu Hao nodded his head seriously and expressed his intentions immediately, "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Xingyan and not let her suffer even the slightest bit."

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

"Naturally."

"I hope she doesn't cause me 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 the perfect conduct of the banquet."

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

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

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

She was wearing a long, plain, champagne - colored dress that made her skin snow-white. Her curly brown hair was pulled into a bun at the side of her neck, 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 put her arm around his.

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

Xu Hao stretched out his hand and held Xia Xingyan's hand. 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 sweet."

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 in the depths of the water, causing the entire hall to be filled with commotion.

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

"Who knows if that's the truth." Someone immediately retorted mockingly, "Isn't Old Master Xia's wife also a mistress? Who knows, maybe her daughter was carved out from the same mold as her and stole her sister's fiancé."

At that moment, there were many different opinions from the crowd. Uncle Xia's face also became gloomy along with the direction of the public opinion.

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

He was looking around the hall with annoyance when he saw Xia Xingcheng bringing Xiaobao into the banquet.

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

However, she seemed to have matured quite a bit. She slightly restrained her arrogant aura, revealing an even more unique aura.

"Look, I already said that the young miss of Xia Family is not something an ordinary person can compare with. Just her temperament 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 completely 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 Xia Xingcheng was purposely going against him. She wanted to create some news at Xia Xingyan's engagement party, causing them to be unable to calm down.

He pointed towards the door, his expression so furious that he did not hold back a single bit of emotion, "Immediately get someone to send him away, or else I'll kick him out!"

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

"Since that's the case …" She looked back with the child in her arms, her back straight. "Why did you have to call me back from such a long distance to make you unhappy? "Don't worry, I'll leave immediately with Xiaobao."

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 impulsive. He hasn't forgotten about you for the past five years."

With one hand holding onto Uncle Xia and the other holding his fiance Xu Hao, she tilted her head and smiled at Xia Xingcheng, "Don't be angry. Today is my engagement banquet with Xu Hao, 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 the dignified words that were spoken by her.

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

Xia Xingcheng ignored her. She turned her head to look at her father, who was still sulking. "Why? Do you want me to stay?"

Uncle Xia looked at her and felt that her eyes were full of bad luck. He impatiently waved his hand and yelled in a vicious tone, "Go and wait at 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.

The hall was bustling with noise and excitement, but Xia Xingcheng only felt tired as she watched the scene.

Five years ago, she was cruelly exiled abroad, but 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 she felt a headache. Her old illness had returned again, and she had not been able to accept it for the past two days. The two symptoms 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 anywhere?"

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 fellow and felt that he was extremely cute. He agreed and quickly returned with a cup of water.

After drinking half a cup of warm water, Xia Xingcheng felt slightly better.

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