Chapter 187: Chapter 187 Returning to One’s Ancestors (Seven)
In the Xiao Family conference room, a group of old men looked at each other, none of them knowing why the Family Head had convened this meeting. Amidst everyone’s confusion, the door to the conference room was opened once again.
Xiao Tianyu and his wife came in side by side, and next to Madam Sheng Yue was a breathtakingly beautiful young girl.
Her plain clothes fluttered in the breeze, lifting the hem. Her features were delicate, her expression frosty, and the jade earrings on her ears swayed gently in the light wind, devoid of any other adornments.
The girl held a small black creature in her arms, its body soft and translucent as if made of ice, looking utterly harmless and extremely adorable.
As she walked in, everyone quieted down, their eyes filled with curiosity.
The Xiao Family conference room was no place for ordinary people, so who was this girl? And she was even with the Young Master and Young Madam…
Xiao Yin’s eyes fell on the girl’s stunning face, rage turning his eyes blood red as he clenched his fists tightly and abruptly stood up.
“Mu Ruyue, you truly are within my Xiao family!” Xiao Yin gritted his teeth, his ferocious gaze fixed on her, “You hurt my granddaughter outside, and in the Xiao family, you even crippled one of her fingers. Did you think you could harm my granddaughter and still live? Since you touched her finger, I will have your life in return!”
Xiao Min had been beaten severely outside and her strength ruined; she was carried back home. Everyone in the Xiao family knew about it, but no one had expected that the instigator behind this incident was this young girl.
“Cough, cough,” Old Master Xiao coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said, “Elders, I have gathered you today to announce something.”
With a piercing gaze, Old Master Xiao’s face grew somber as he looked towards Xiao Yin, but after seeing Mu Ruyue, his expression softened.
“Do you still remember the child of my son and daughter-in-law who was stolen away over a decade ago?”
The Ninth Elder glanced at Old Master Xiao, hesitating for a moment before speaking, “Family Head, wasn’t that child already killed by someone from the Nangong Family?”
Old Master Xiao chuckled, “Killed? How could that be? Back then, a servant from the Nangong Family took pity and sent my granddaughter to be adopted by an outside family. They have only recently recognized each other, and I have brought you all here to have my granddaughter acknowledge her ancestors and return to the Xiao family.”
For a moment, everyone was stunned, their questioning gazes turning towards the young girl walking next to Madam Sheng Yue.
Could this young lady possibly be the long-lost daughter of the Young Master?
“Indeed, she is my granddaughter who was snatched away by the Nangong Family.” Catching the looks directed at Mu Ruyue, Old Master Xiao raised his head and openly admitted it.
“What?” Xiao Yin was shocked, his gaze fixating on Mu Ruyue as if he wanted to pierce several holes through her body.
Before Xiao Yin could speak, a traitorous voice suddenly came from outside the meeting room.
Xiao Min, still not recovered from her injuries, came to see how Grandpa would deal with Mu Ruyue, but hearing these words, she couldn’t hold back and ran inside.
Whether it was because of her injuries or because of Old Master Xiao’s words, Xiao Min’s face was deathly pale, her eyes filled with jealousy and anger as she fiercely glared at Mu Ruyue.
In her rage, some of her remarks were clearly thoughtless.
“Why does this bitch have the blood of my Xiao family? She doesn’t deserve it!”
