Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 289 - 236 starts!

Xu Qing held Qiao Yufen’s hand, her face full of emotion, "And, uh, don’t tell Xiaorong either; that child is very strong-willed."

Qiao Yufen hushed a few times in agreement, "Okay, okay, stop prattling on. As for you, in a few days it’ll be my 80th birthday, and you’re not short of a few days. Wait till after my birthday celebration to go back."

Xu Qing paused, having completely forgotten about the impending 80th birthday celebration of Old Lady Qiao.

Nevertheless, Xu Qing was Xu Qing after all, and she did not show it at all. In just a second or two, she had adjusted her mood, "If it weren’t for your 80th birthday, I would have actually gone back already. Don’t worry, Old Lady, I will definitely stay to celebrate your birthday with you before going back."

Qiao Yufen smiled, "That’s good, I always knew you were sensible..."

Everything Xu Qing and Qiao Yufen were discussing quietly in the room, Xia Yourong heard loud and clear.

It turns out she really is her father’s biological daughter, which is why he used to be extra kind to her in the past!

If she weren’t his biological child, how could it have been possible to treat her like that?

There’s no saint on this earth who can genuinely treat an adopted daughter the same as a biological one!

It was fine when she was unsure before, but now that it had been confirmed, Xia Yourong definitely couldn’t allow herself to remain in the Xia family as an adopted daughter.

It seemed from what her grandmother had implied that she also did not want others to know her true identity, as it was not a glorious matter for her father.

Xia Yourong’s mind worked rapidly; it appeared that she would have to use the most direct method possible during the bustling gathering to reveal her identity in plain view, not giving her family the chance to refute it.

If it were before, she really wouldn’t have known how to prove her identity, but her grandmother’s words had given her inspiration.

DNA test reports...

How had she not thought of such an excellent method before...

The 80th birthday celebration of her grandmother was coming soon, and many people would be attending.

She needed to secure the most convincing evidence before that.

Let Xia Ye know that she’s not the only legitimate daughter of the Xia family, she is too, so in the future, she should stop acting superior in front of her!

The 80th birthday celebration of Old Lady Xia was no ordinary day; Xia Yuzheng and Xu He booked a private room and sent invitations to Qiao Yufen’s friends.

The banquet was set at the Beijing Grand Hotel in Fushou Hall, and Qiao Yufen’s friends were mostly esteemed elders from Capital City.

They were the kind of people who spoke with decorum and pondered each word and smile.

A few days before the banquet, the Xia family was busy preparing at home. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

Xu He brought Xia Ye to the sofa, her smile warm and kind, "Little Tiangao, for Grandmother’s 80th birthday, your mother thought about it, and it would be better for you to go. You don’t need to say anything, and if you don’t want to stay after the meal, I will take you home early. How about that?"

If she had to take Little Tiangao home later, it would provide her with the perfect excuse to leave early as well.

Her tone was suggestive; if Little Tiangao didn’t want to go, she certainly wouldn’t force her.

Because if it weren’t for saving her husband’s face, she wouldn’t want to go either.

Xia Ye saw that her mother wanted her to keep her company, smiled, played with her phone, and crossed her legs, "Alright, then escort me home after we eat."

"No problem at all," Xu He beamed with joy, "By the way, that restaurant really does make nice dishes; you’re sure to like them..."

Across the room, Xia Yuzheng lifted his eyes, glancing over the top of his newspaper at them, and after a long moment, he smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"Sir, Madam, the young mistress has arrived."

As the housekeeper Wu reported, everyone in the living room looked towards the entrance.

Xia Yourong wore a stylish suit dress, her face still adorned with that meticulously sculpted smile, "Dad, it’s been such a long time since I came home; I’ve missed you."

She purposefully didn’t greet Xu He. Xu He also refrained from speaking to her, just squeezed Xia Ye’s shoulder and smiled at her.

Since Xia Yourong had displayed hostility towards Xia Ye repeatedly, Xu He, unconsciously, had begun to distance herself from Yourong.

Adopting Yourong hadn’t been her original intent, but now that she had adopted her, she wanted to take care of her like her own daughter.

Even though she knew Yourong could never take Little Tiangao’s place in her heart, she pitied that Yourong had been abandoned by her mother since she was little and showered her with excessive care and love.

Elementary school, middle school, high school... For every school, she tried to provide Yourong with the best conditions possible.

She had never expected Yourong to treat her like a biological mother or to repay her in any way; she just hoped that their mother-daughter bond would result in a good karma, that Yourong could grow up worry-free and do what she wanted.
