Chapter 243: Chapter 243 grandmother, you’ve made a mistake

Yan Xi took the jewelry box earlier. “Then, I wish you a long life.”

Then, she pulled Xi Yan up. “My Blessing has arrived, so I’ll be leaving first.”

Xi Yaohua, Chen Xiangxiang, and Huo Mingyue walked in from the other side of the door.

XI yaohua said, “Yan XI, you just got here and you’re leaving already? Aren’t you being too insensible? Grandmother is back, and you’re not going to accompany her to show your filial piety?”

Yan Xi stopped in her tracks. Even Xi Yan was a little surprised. “Grandmother!”

Xi Jingxing and his brother walked up quickly. They were a little excited. “Mother! You’re finally back!”

Huo Mingyue was ushered to the main table by the crowd and sat down with Xi Lurong.

Xi Lurong grabbed Huo Mingyue’s hand and sighed. “Sister-in-law, we haven’t seen each other for so many years. After Big Brother passed away, you went abroad… It’s good that you’re back. Don’t leave anymore. The children miss you very much and they want to show their filial piety in front of you. I have a companion too.”

She spoke as if she was sincere. Huo Mingyue smiled and pulled her hand out without batting an eyelid.

“I’m cold-hearted and I’ve been paying my respects to Buddha all year round. Rong Rong, you like to be lively, so I’m afraid we won’t be able to get together.”

Xi Luorong said, “Why won’t we be able to get together? I’m also paying my respects to Buddha now. There’s even a bodhisattva at home. “I think Yan Xi’s health is still not good. Why Don’t you follow your grandmother to pay your respects to Buddha and eat vegetarian food in the future? Pay your respects to Bodhisattva more so that Bodhisattva can bless you with a long life.”

Xi Yan had been hanging out with Jin Zhao, Ying Shiyu, and the others these days, so he was no longer the silly and sweet young master he used to be.

Great-aunt’s words… why did it sound like a scene from an otaku?

The thought of his sister being called to the temple to be punished and kneeling until she fainted made Xi Yan’s head hurt.

“Grandmother, Sister’s health is not good, she can’t kneel for long!”Xi Yan thought about it and added, “Even kneeling for a while won’t do!”

Xi Lurong: “Xi Yan, you’re just a junior, why do you have to butt in!”

Everyone present was his elder, and they were all quite dissatisfied. It was too unmanly of them to rush in to protect her. How could they take over Xi Empire independently in the future? Perhaps XI empire would soon change their surname to Yan!

“Xi Yan is right. Buddha is merciful and won’t let sick people kneel.”Huo Mingyue paused and glanced at Chen Xiangxiang, “If you want people to pray to the Buddha, why don’t you let Xiangxiang Go?”

Chen Xiangxiang was stunned.

Xi Yaohua was overjoyed. Grandmother was going to propose Chen Xiangxiang to be adopted, right!

After all, if Chen Xiangxiang was not a child of the Xi family, then the blessing she had prayed for would not fall on the Xi family.

He had already bragged to grandmother about how gentle, considerate, and obedient Chen Xiangxiang was before she returned to the country. After laying the groundwork for so long, grandmother would definitely have a good impression of Chen Xiangxiang.

In addition, Chen Xiangxiang had behaved appropriately on the way here, which made her grandmother very happy.

“Grandmother, we were just about to announce the adoption of Xiangxiang,”Xi Yaohua said with a smile. “But Xi Yan, Xiangxiang has become your sister. Shouldn’t you protect her too?”

Chen Xiangxiang heaved a sigh of relief and thought to herself that she had thought too much.

However, it could also be because Yan XI’s expression was too indifferent, which made her subconsciously nervous.

Her opponent had been lying low without making a move. This was not in line with her personality.

However, since they had reached this point, Xi Luorong waved for her lawyer. “Today, apart from celebrating my birthday, we will also announce another joyous event. Our XI family is going to adopt Chen Xiangxiang as our granddaughter!”

She was so excited that she even got someone to bring the microphone over to speak.

Huo Mingyue stood up and took the microphone. “Let me do the talking. Rong Rong, when you get excited, it’s easy for you to catch your breath.”

Her tone was gentle and gentle, but every word was clear. She was clearly old, but her voice was very penetrating.

Chen Xiangxiang felt that her tone was strangely familiar. Then, she saw Huo Mingyue look up and exchange a glance with Yan XI.

At that moment, the string in Chen Xiangxiang’s heart suddenly snapped. She suddenly remembered that after Huo Mingyue appeared, the system did not pop out the favorability value interface.

So, was the other party really a target that could be targeted?

The answer was, of course, no.

Huo Mingyue held the microphone and was calm and composed, “First of all, thank you all for attending Lulong’s birthday banquet. Her greatest regret in her life was that she did not have a grandchild, Chenghuan. It just so happened that Chen Xiangxiang, the little girl from the Chen family, was very popular with her. It also made up for her regret of not having a granddaughter. “Today, in front of everyone, I announce that Lulong has officially adopted Chen Xiangxiang as her granddaughter. Later on, we will bring Xiangxiang to meet all the relatives.”

The scene was silent for a few seconds.

Everyone present was a little dumbfounded. What was going on? This was different from what they had heard. wasn’t it Xi Jingxing who adopted Chen Xiangxiang? How did it become Xi Lulong?

Xi Lulong was even more confused. This was not what she wanted to say!

“Wait a minute, sister-in-law, it’s not like that!”Xi Lulong wanted to grab the microphone.

Huo Mingyue took the microphone and turned it slightly to avoid the other party. “From now on, Chen Xiangxiang will change her surname to Liao… I hope to receive everyone’s welcome and blessings.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Xi was the first to clap.

Xi Yan clapped his hands hard and looked at his grandmother with admiration. His grandmother was still as handsome and cool as ever!

The other guests hesitated for a moment before clapping as well. Soon, applause broke out.

Xi Yaohua could not believe it. “Grandmother, you’ve got it wrong!”

Huo Mingyue put down the microphone and asked calmly, “What did I get wrong? Didn’t you say that your great-aunt likes Xiang Xiang very much?”

She paused and looked at Xi Luorong with a smile, “Rong Rong, it’s because Jing Ren Jingxing didn’t do a good job. He made you work for the XI family for so many years, but you didn’t know that you needed a granddaughter to be with… I know you have regrets about the girl Liao Cheng had his first child with. “Now that you’ve adopted a daughter for him, he must be very happy. The two of you will bury the hatchet.”

Xi Lurong was so angry that she covered her chest and couldn’t say a word.

Yan Xi could not help but smile.

Xi Lurong thought that no one knew about the past in the capital… but as her sister-in-law, Huo Mingyue must know everything.

Including why she had fallen out with her son, Liao Cheng.

In the end, it was the old lady who valued sons over daughters. She felt that the Liao family had a big business and needed a grandson to compete for the family assets.

Because she believed in some nonsense about a boy being reincarnated, she fed her pregnant daughter-in-law a fertility drug… which directly caused her daughter-in-law to bleed and induce labor.

This incident had shocked the entire wealthy circle in the capital. Although the big families more or less favored sons over daughters, Xi Lurong was the first to be so ignorant that her hands were stained with blood.

Without a doubt, the wealthy circle in the capital could not tolerate XI Lurong, and the Liao family could not afford to lose face.

Xi Lurong was chased back to north bridge city dejectedly and kept this matter a secret.

The Liao family also kept their dirty laundry a secret because of this.

The others weren’t too clear about the inside story, so they didn’t stop Huo Mingyue from mentioning it. However, just mentioning it was enough to make Xi Luorong Tremble in fear.

Xi Luorong only managed to squeeze out a few words from between her teeth after a long time. “I don’t need a granddaughter!”

How could the Liao family recognize her as a granddaughter that they adopted at will… who knows, they might still be angry when they thought of the past. The relationship that they had worked so hard to ease over the past few years was about to fall into a freezing point again.
