Xia Yunlou continued, “Although the Xu family isn’t a top-notch noble family, it’s definitely not a problem for us to raise two daughters. What’s wrong with letting Xi Xi be the second daughter? How can I not treat my biological daughter well? She used to live in the slums. Now that she’s living in the Xu family’s villa, it’s already a hundred times better for her. Why does she have to chase Anran away the moment she comes back?
“Moreover, Anran is the leader of the top socialites in Luo City. If others find out that she’s not our biological daughter, where will the Xu family put our dignity? How will Anran raise her head in the future?!
“Since the children were swapped at birth, why don’t we just let it be? Other than not having the identity as the eldest daughter of the Xu family, Xi Xi will have everything Anran has. I definitely won’t treat her badly. Why must she compete with Anran for an identity? Can’t she be more tolerant?
“Anran is a top socialite. She plays the zither, chess, knows calligraphy, is cultured, good-mannered, and can dance. How is she lacking?
“But Xi Xi has lived in the countryside since she was young. She has never attended banquets at all, nor does she know how to pick gowns. She doesn’t even know what those high-end brands are. Having her as the eldest daughter of the Xu family will only embarrass us!”
In front of everyone, Xia Yunlou said everything in her heart.
The entire place was silent.
Old Madam Yin looked at her coldly and applauded amidst the silence.
“How good you are with your words! You’re saying that although Xi Xi is your biological daughter, it’s already her honor to be able to return to the Xu family now. Xu Anran has been living like a princess since she was young, so we can’t let her suffer even a little,
right?”
Old Madam Yin waved her hand. “Jingting, immediately announce that from today onward, the Yin family and the Xu family are no longer in contact. Moreover, Xi Xi is the eldest daughter of the Yin family!”
Xia Yunlou gritted her teeth. Even if one of her daughters were to return to the Yin family, it should be Anran. After all, Anran was the child they watched grow up, while Qiao Xi was just a wild girl.
Old Madam Yin’s voice was indifferent. “Xia Yunlou, do you still have a heart? Your biological daughter was swapped with Xu Anran by Xu Anran’s mother, causing you to be separated from your biological daughter. The culprit involved is still with the Xu family, and Xu Anran is not affected as well.
“You think that Xi Xi should be grateful that she’s able to return to the Xu family. What right do you have to make other requests? Just look at your qualifications as a mother!”
Xia Yunlou shouted unwillingly, “This has nothing to do with Anran!”
“What about her biological mother?”
Old Madam Yin slammed the table heavily, her eyes filled with anger. At this moment, she wished she could rush up to Xia Yunlou and slap her daughter until she could think things through
“Where’s the servant who swapped Xi Xi with her daughter? Just because of Xu Anran, not only did you not punish that servant but you even let her live in a villa in Luo City. The servant’s biological daughter, Xu Anran, is occupying the identity of the eldest daughter of the Xu family and enjoying everything that originally belonged to Xi Xi. However, she still wants to frame Xi Xi! What kind of logic is this?!”
Xia Yunlou’s face turned pale.
Anran did nothing wrong! She was just afraid that Qiao Xi would snatch away her things!
Xu Zhi stood at the side, his heart churning.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but be slightly dazed. Even though he despised Xi Xi for growing up in the countryside, she was his biological daughter, after all. It was just that if Xi Xi had been raised by their side since she was young. If Xi Xi had never left their side, perhaps Xi Xi would’ve become an outstanding socialite who was praised by everyone.
Seeing the look in Xu Zhi’s eyes, Xu Anran’s heart trembled. With tears in her eyes, she shouted weakly, “Dad…”
As soon as she finished speaking, Old Madam Yin rushed over and slapped Xu Anran hard.
Xia Yunlou shouted, “Anran!”
“Are you feeling heartbroken? Do you know how Xi Xi has been doing all these years? When she was abused by her stepmother in the Qiao family and chased out of the house, why didn’t you feel heartbroken? Don’t forget that she’s your biological daughter!” Old Madam Yin ordered, “Men! Beat her up!”
As soon as she finished speaking, two bodyguards walked over. One of them held Xu Anran’s face while the other slapped her hard.
Old Madam Yin said casually, “Does it hurt? Xi Xi endured all of this when she was young, and it was even more painful than this.”
