Chapter 644
Upon hearing the words ‘younger sister’, Xia Yanyan’s face instantly turned pale. With the ladies’ restroom full of people, numerous ears prick up, this handsome guy blurts out Xia Qiongqiong’s name, even calling her his little sister, Xia Yanyan couldn’t dare to imagine. If this got out, how would people speculate?
Xia Yanyan, changing her tone, sounded much softer and even sincere, “Miss Ye, congratulations on your engagement with Mr. Ye.”
Ye Xingguang knew what Xia Yanyan feared. Seeing that Xia Yanyan knew how to hold back, she said with a forced smile, “And congratulations to you on your engagement.”
With that, she stepped out, returning to the banquet hall.
After Xia Yanyan left the ladies’ restroom, her face had turned white for quite some time before a flurry of women coming in and out started discussing, “What did the Carpfish girl just say? Does Xia Yanyan actually have a younger sister named Xia Qiongqiong? How come I’ve never heard of this?”noveldrama
“Today is just filled with gossip! I feel like I’ve heard the name Xia Qiongqiong somewhere. Oh, I remember now, isn’t she the mysterious songwriter who wrote the new song for Ling Han’s album?”
...
“Right, is it a coincidence that they share the same name, or are they the same person? My god, this is too much information to process, my mind can’t wrap around it.”
While these two ladies were excitedly discussing and washing their hands at the sink, they didn’t forget to share the latest news in their various gossip groups. Almost instantly, rumors of the Xia Family having another daughter named Xia Qiongqiong spread to various WeChat groups.
The state banquet had ended, and Xia Yanyan left with Harry Perry. The moment she was helped into the car by him, a call from Xia Wealth came through.
Xia Wealth: “What’s going on? What happened at the state banquet? The media have been calling asking me if I have another daughter named Xia Qiongqiong. How did this get out?”
Xia Yanyan’s heart jolted. After bidding farewell to Harry Perry and closing the car door, she said, “Dad, did this news spread so quickly? It was Ye Xingguang who revealed it. That Little White Lotus deliberately let it out loudly in the restroom, I didn’t even get the chance to stop her.”
Xia Wealth was furious: “Did you provoke her again?”
“Me? She was the one to mess with me.”
Concerned about the past being exposed, Xia Wealth said a few words before hanging up, but not before reminding her, “Stay away from her as much as you can. Times have changed. You shouldn’t have written Mr. Ye’s name on the marriage application in the first place. Now that our relationship with the Ye’s has been strained, we didn’t even get an invitation for this important event like the state banquet. If you continue this reckless behavior, our family’s reputation will be put into an even more awkward position.”
“Dad, I’m a national treasure, what’s there to be afraid of? Besides, I’ve listened to you and am now with Harry Perry. Why is my cousin so pretentious? Just because she’s the First Lady? Wait until the President completes his term, who knows who the next President will be. Considering Han Sen’s temperament, he will definitely make a comeback in the next Presidential election. Maybe in the next term, I’ll also be the sister of a President. What goes around comes around, the future is long, what makes my cousin so confident? She really underestimates me!”
Xia Wealth: “Alright, enough of this, if not for your stubbornness, there wouldn’t even be a need to wait for the next term. I would be the uncle of the First Lady right now. Be patient and stop competing with that crazy girl Ye Xingguang. Otherwise, if the matter regarding Qiongqiong is exposed, our family’s reputation will definitely be swept away.”
