At the Xu family’s villa.
Xia Yunlou’s heart ached as she hugged Xu Anran and shouted with all her might, “No! I’ll never allow Anran to leave this place! Anran has already lived in this house for 20 years. If you chase her away, how can she bear it?! She’s also your daughter! You’re so cruel!”
Xu Zhi’s expression darkened. “It’s fine if we don’t chase her out, but get that servant out of the Xu family! Otherwise, our Xu family will completely offend the Yin family and Gu Zheng!”
Xu Anran’s body trembled slightly.
Xia Yunlou held her in her arms. “Nanny Deng has been working in the Xu family since she was young. Although she did something wrong and swapped the two children, she still gave us an obedient and sensible daughter, Anran. They’re both our daughters, after all. What difference does their identity make? Why must we pursue this matter?”
“Shut up, idiot! It’s fine if you don’t approve. Just get out of the Xu family with them, then!” Xu Zhi pointed at her nose and roared in anger.
He looked at his scheming daughter and his stupid wife. If this continued, the Xu family would be ruined by them sooner or later.
Xu Zhi took a deep breath and ordered, “It’s going to be Xi Xi’s birthday soon. I’ve already prepared a grand birthday banquet for her. I’ve invited all the relatives and friends of the Xu family to participate. At the banquet, I’ll announce that she’s the eldest daughter of the Xu family.”
Xia Yunlou gnashed her teeth in anger. “No way! It’s clearly Anran’s birthday, so why should we hold a birthday party for Qiao Xi? Ever since Qiao Xi returned to the Xu family, she has been targeting Anran in every way and wants to fight with Anran for everything! Anran is the daughter we raised for 20 years! Moreover, don’t forget who caused your son to be sent to the police station! All of this is thanks to Qiao Xi!”
No matter what Xia Yunlou said, Xu Zhi had already made up his mind. He shouted angrily, “Xia Yunlou! If you don’t let Xi Xi come back, how are you going to explain this to the family head?! Also, about the things Yunqiu left behind…”
His voice paused, and his eyes lost focus for a moment.
Xia Yunlou was stunned for a few seconds before she laughed crazily. “Haha… Xu Zhi, I really thought your heart was aching for Qiao Xi! So, it’s because of Xia Yunqiu! You’ve always liked her, so you like the daughter she raised too, right?
“Qiao Xi is our biological daughter. Of course, she has to return to the Xu family, but she absolutely can’t take over the identity of the Xu family’s eldest young miss!” Xia Yunlou roared with a malevolent expression.
“Anran is a top socialite who we have nurtured with all our heart. If outsiders find out that she’s just an adopted daughter, I don’t know how those daughters of rich families will laugh at her. All our years of hard work will be ruined! Qiao Xi is a country bumpkin. She doesn��t know anything. What can she bring to the Xu family?”

Xu Zhi remained silent.
“Do you want to talk about President Gu? Although Qiao Xi is already married to President Gu, how long can President Gu’s love last? With Qiao Xi’s personality, she’ll be abandoned by him sooner or later. Without President Gu, she’s useless! In the end, she still needs us to support her!
“Anran is now the leader of the top socialites, and she has connections with all the big families. She can bring great benefits to our Xu family. If her identity is known by others, none of those families will be willing to interact with Anran anymore. So, if Anran is destroyed, our Xu family will go down too! Don’t you understand this logic?!”
Xu Zhi’s eyes were filled with contradictions. It was indeed because of Gu Zheng that he had to agree to his requests, but now…
Seeing that he was wavering, Xia Yunlou continued, “Why don’t you hold a birthday party for your two daughters? However, the guests will be divided into two venues. It’ll be clear then which daughter can bring more benefits to the Xu family.”
If the two daughters’ birthday parties were separated, then the guests could only choose to attend the birthday of the person more important to them. This was indeed a good idea.
Xu Zhi said helplessly, “Okay, let’s do it this way. If Xi Xi achieves a better result, then you must consider the big picture and stop making a fuss. Let Xi Xi return as the eldest young miss of the Xu family.”
Xu Anran remained silent as a cold glint flashed across her eyes.
After returning to her room, Xu Anran made a call to invite a few guests over.
When Wen Xi heard that the Xu family was going to hold a birthday party for both their daughters at the same time, she instantly roared. “Is Qiao Xi even worthy of celebrating your birthday with you? You’ve been celebrating your birthday alone for so many years! Why should she interfere?”
