The president of the Nian Cheng Corporation had actually brushed his younger brother off by giving him such a trivial position. It was as if Tan Xiaoshuang had eaten a fly.
"My niece is so filial and her looks are the best in Jiang Capital. Even if she doesn't look as outstanding as the young missy of the Shen family, she's still not bad. Sister-in-law must find a good person for my niece.
I think the young master of the Wang family is quite good. He has a good family background and was once schoolmates with my niece. They would have a lot of common topics when they interact with one another. "
When Xia Chu heard this, she almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Who in the high society of Jiangdu did not know that the young master of the Wang family had violent tendencies? He enjoyed fooling around. If Zhizhi went to the Wang family, it was uncertain if she could survive in the future.
The problem was that Tan Xiaoshuang did not know any of this. She could not directly say that there was anything wrong with the Wang family. At the Xie family's old master's birthday banquet, there were people from all walks of life. It was inevitable that the Wang family would hear it.
"Young Aunt, what you said is right. I think the Young Master of the Wang family looks absolutely top-notch. However, I can't seem to figure out why Madam Xia isn't saying a word. Could it be that the Wang family doesn't catch Madam Xia's eye?"
The woman's sweet and ethereal voice attracted everyone's attention. When everyone saw the woman's appearance, they realized that her voice was just one of her merits.
"She looks really good. I think only the young miss of the Shen family can compete with her."
"But this person looks familiar. I feel like I've seen her somewhere before."
"This is the eldest daughter of the Xie family, the former number one beauty in Jiang Capital. How can she not be beautiful?"
"—"
The crowd gradually burst into chatters excitedly. All of them fought to be the first to know about the secrets of the Xie family's eldest daughter. No news was spread out that year. However, everything that they should know and shouldn't know in Jiang Capital was already known.
When Xie Zhizhi saw that Xie Nian still dared to come back, with her face becoming even more feminine, there was a tinge of sourness in her heart. She thought that she had spent a lot of effort on her face.
Yet, it only reduced the wrinkles on her face. However, this woman didn't do anything and her face was full of collagen. It seemed that such a face shouldn't appear.
"So Elder Sister has returned. Why didn't you inform the family? It's been so many years, but we haven't heard any news about Elder Sister. We thought that Elder Sister was…"
"What, dead? Younger Sister, you're really cruel. I've been missing all of you every year. When my mother was still alive, everyone's appearances were completely different from now.
Don't tell me that you have all forgotten that it was my mother who helped each of you in the past, and gave all of you the ability to have a firm footing in Jiang Capital today. One shouldn't forget his roots. Isn't that so, Madam Xia? "
Xie Nian's eyes were sharp. She looked at Xia Chu calmly. This person was the one who used the excuse of coming to Jiang Capital to search for her relatives back then to be offered a shelter in the Jiang Family Courtyard.
Little did she know that all of this was planned by this woman one step at a time. She really had a malicious heart. To deal with such a shameless person, the only way would probably be being more shameless than her.
"Elder Niece, you're right. A person shouldn't forget his roots, right, Elder Brother?"
Although Tan Xiaoshuang did not like her niece, Xie Nian, either, these words had touched the bottom of her heart. As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend.
Xie Nian and Tan Xiaoshuang exchanged looks in the midair and smiled knowingly.
"Niannian, what nonsense are you spouting? We did miss you too, but after what you did back then, although Zhizhi and I miss you, your father and grandfather are both—"
Xia Chu sighed, as if what Xie Nian had done in the past was heinous.
"Hmph, I don't have a daughter like that. We had already cut off our ties six years ago."
"Father, you make it sound like I really was a bad daughter. Back then, when you and Madam Xia had a wedding, it was on the day of my mother's death anniversary. I was already giving you face by not causing a scene at the wedding. Moreover, I made the choice when I was already in my twenties. It's not a shameful thing."
Xie Zhanan didn't know about Jiang Wanning's funeral at all, so how could he know when was Jiang Wanning's death anniversary? If they were to talk about it, Xie Zhanan wasn't being genuine at all.
"That's enough. This matter is over. You have to be clear about the priorities today."
Elder Xie said impolitely. He looked at Xie Nian as if he wanted to eat her alive. Elder Xie, who had never liked Xie Nian much, disliked her even more now.
"Hahaha, right. Some people just have to be clear about their priorities. This is not a place where you can do as you please. Also, Elder Sister, why didn't you bring any congratulatory gifts for grandpa's birthday banquet? Did you forget your manners as a junior?"
