Chapter 540: Chapter 541: It’s Time to Meet Liu Ruyan and Her Daughter
After Ma Jianguo left, Xia Yangyang returned to her car.
She thought long and hard inside the car.
The task seemed easy, but it wasn’t.
Regardless of whether the remittance slip was with Gu Mingzhu or Liu Ruyan.
She could not easily meet either of them right now.
Gu Mingzhu was currently living in Sea City.
After marrying Xi Jiaxin, Liu Ruyan had settled in Beijing.
Xia Yangyang didn’t have much time to stay in the country.
However, Xia Yangyang thought that since she had returned, it was time to catch up with Liu Ruyan and her daughter.
As it happened, Xia Yangyang remembered that Xia Weiwei’s birthday was tomorrow.
Given Xia Weiwei’s current status and her personality, she would surely celebrate grandly.
Xia Yangyang casually searched online.
And found lots of information about her.
Xia Weiwei, capitalising on her birthday, had planned a charity auction birthday party.
It was said that she would auction some of her precious jewellery and antiques, and all the money raised would be d to charity.
However, this raised some doubts in Xia Yangyang’s mind.
This didn’t seem like Xia Weiwei’s style at all.
Xia Yangyang then looked up Xia Weiwei’s deeds over the past few years.
Surprisingly, her reputation in this circle over the years was pretty good.
She was now the manager of the publicity department at Jiang Group.
This position was merely a figurehead.
But the things she had done in recent years were commendable.
Four years ago, her reputation was bad.
Of course, because of her elder sister, she had a reputation for being ruthless and vicious after framing her and being detained. She was expelled from school and blacklisted by the entertainment industry.
All this changed after Xia Weiwei had an accident.
Apparently, Xia Weiwei had a severe car accident four years ago.
After the accident, she was diagnosed with amnesia.
She couldn’t remember anything from the past.
Moreover, after her downfall, the once arrogant and ruthless second Miss Xia underwent a sudden change in character.
She became gentle and virtuous, kind and adorable and did a lot of good deeds.
Her true redemption came two years ago in the Lushan earthquake.
It was said that Xia Weiwei sold all her jewelry and properties, altogether worth tens of millions, and d all of it.
Suddenly, Xia Weiwei was in the spotlight.
Xia Yangyang happened to find an audio interview done by the media after Xia Weiwei’s donation.
There were no images, just audio.
The voice was indeed Xia Weiwei’s.
But the tone was very different from before.
Xia Weiwei said: “In the past, I did many bad things, and then I received my retribution. I was in a car accident and almost died, forgetting everything from before. I believe that this is a chance God has given me to restart. Walking through the gates of hell made me understand the value of life more, which is to help more people…”
After stopping the interview, Xia Yangyang sneered in her heart.
This whitewashing technique was too clever.
Did she think this was some Korean drama or novel?
Years ago, Xia Weiwei had tried to kill her by driving her car.
To this day, Xia Yangyang still remembered Xia Weiwei’s face covered in blood and her eyes filled with resentment.
Could she really have changed?
She would find out tomorrow.
Xia Yangyang found out that Xia Weiwei’s charity birthday banquet would be held in a banquet hall at a major hotel in Beijing.
Many notable women from Beijing were invited, along with some wealthy celebrities and stars.
Xia Weiwei was now considered Xi Jiaxin’s stepdaughter, so everyone would have to give her some face.
The invitations were limited, with only five hundred distributed.
As this was considered a gathering of top-notch socialites, the invitations had unexpectedly become the target of scalpers and were being resold at a high price.
Without much effort and by spending a little money, Xia Yangyang got an invitation.
