That night, when Xie Honghou and Xie Wenhui returned, they saw a person they had never seen before appear at the dining table. On the contrary, Xie Yiran was nowhere to be seen.
Therefore, Xie Wenhui looked at Xie Xianyue, who was sitting next to Huo Yueshan, and asked, "Mom, who is this person next to you?"
Xie Honghou also looked at Xie Xianyue curiously when he heard that. He also did not understand why Xie Yiran was not by Huo Yueshan's side. On the contrary, it was a child he had never seen before.
Xie Honghou nodded and said, "Where is Yiran? Why didn't I see her come down to eat?"
When Xie Yiran was mentioned, the shy smile on Xie Xianyue's face changed a little, but it only took a few seconds for it to return to normal.
Huo Yueshan patted Xie Xianyue's hand, indicating that there was no need for Xie Xianyue to be nervous.
Then, she looked at Xie Wenhui and Xie Honghou and said, "I wanted to tell you about this. This child is the daughter of a good friend of mine. I just happened to see her today.
"This child's background is really pitiful. My poor friend has passed away. I thought that this child still has to work hard to study and it's really hard.
"Anyway, it's not a big deal for our family to have an extra pair of chopsticks. I just wanted to adopt her and change her name to Xie Xianyue. From now on, she will be the second miss of our Xie family."
Huo Yueshan paused when she said this. She deliberately glanced at Xie Honghou and Xie Wenhui. When she saw that the two of them were only a little surprised, but did not show any signs of resistance, so she continued, "But I didn't expect that after she heard my decision, she was very dissatisfied. She even contradicted me time and time again. She even said that Yue'er, this child, has a bad heart and came to our family with ulterior motives. This child is obviously so pitiful and she's only just a child. How could she have such schemes?
"If it wasn't for the chance encounter this time, perhaps she would still be living a hard life outside."
Hearing this, Xie Wenhui frowned and said, "You said that Ran Ran contradicted you because of this?"
"Yes, so I let her reflect on herself in the room. Without my permission, no one is allowed to call her down to eat," Huo Yueshan nodded and said.
When Xie Yiran was mentioned, Huo Yueshan also felt a wave of distress. Although she did not understand why Xie Yiran would have such a reaction, Xie Yiran's behavior in the afternoon really made Huo Yueshan extremely angry.
After Xie Wenhui and Xie Honghou heard Huo Yueshan's words, they also felt a wave of surprise. After all, in their impression, Xie Yiran did not seem to be going against Huo Yueshan because of this kind of thing.
In addition, why did Xie Yiran insist that Xie Xianyue's motives were impure?
Xie Wenhui frowned and looked at Xie Xianyue. Although he did not say anything, when he heard that Huo Yueshan wanted to adopt Xie Xianyue, Xie Wenhui actually resisted in his heart. After all, he was already so old now.
It would be difficult for anyone to adapt to the sudden appearance of a stranger.
Furthermore, Xie Yiran could still be reprimanded by Huo Yueshan because of these things. After he left, what if Xie Yiran was bullied by this new Xie Xianyue?
For a moment, Xie Wenhui was also a little worried.
However, Huo Yueshan seemed to not understand at all. She looked at Xie Honghou and said, "From now on, she will be the second daughter of the Xie family. You guys don't have any objections to this, right?"
Xie Wenhui frowned and looked at Huo Yueshan. He did not say anything. Even if he had objections, he could not say anything. After all, Huo Yueshan looked like she had already decided on this matter.
If they had any objections, they believed that the end result would be the same as the current Xie Yiran.
Moreover, Xie Honghou and Xie Wenhui were men. They really had no way to criticize Xie Xianyue. Therefore, they could only nod and agree to Huo Yueshan's words.
Thus, Xie Xianyue's identity as the second daughter of the Xie family was officially established.
Although Xie Yiran still tried her best to stop it, she was powerless against such an outcome. Since she could not stop Xie Xianyue from entering the house, she could only stop her from scheming against them in the future.
