Yun Zijin didn’t finish getting ready until 6:30 PM. The Xia Family’s birthday banquet was being held at the Jinsheng Hotel, so she was definitely going to be late.
But Yun Zijin didn’t care. She had only reluctantly agreed to come because Xia Zhiyun had asked her time and time again.
’It’s a miracle I’m even showing up. Who cares if I’m late?’
Because she was wearing a formal gown, Yun Zijin had Zero One assign four of his men to her Ice Plum Powder, while she herself got into the back seat of the Randomly Spend-brand minivan.
A few tall, brawny bodyguards with the Ice Plum Powder was a bit of a strange combination, but the contrast was kind of cute!
Sure enough, by the time Yun Zijin and her bodyguards arrived at Jinsheng Hotel, it was already 7:30 PM, a full half-hour late.
The Xia Family’s banquet was being held in Hall 3 on the 5th floor of the Jinsheng Hotel. Yun Zijin took the elevator upstairs with Zero One and her six other attendants. Following the signs, they quickly arrived at Hall 3.
"Hello, please show your invitation."
Just as Yun Zijin was about to walk in, she was stopped by someone at the door and asked for her invitation.
’God knows why Xia Zhiyun, after begging me over and over to attend his grandfather’s birthday banquet, never once thought to give me an invitation.’
At that, the air around Yun Zijin grew so cold the temperature seemed to drop.
Her expression turned icy. She took her phone out of her clutch and unblocked Xia Zhiyun.
Unexpectedly, the phone rang for a long time without an answer. Yun Zijin hung up and looked at the staff member who had stopped her.
"Tell Xia Zhiyun that if he’s not going to be sincere, he shouldn’t just invite people willy-nilly! An invitation? From start to finish, Xia Zhiyun never said a single word to me about an invitation!
"You think I wanted to come? If he hadn’t asked me time and again, I wouldn’t even have known when his grandfather’s birthday was!"
Yun Zijin took the birthday gift for the old master of the Xia Family from Zero One’s hands and threw it directly into the trash can outside Hall 3.
Just then, Yun Zijin’s phone rang. The caller ID showed Xia Zhiyun.
Yun Zijin rejected the call instantly.
"Let’s go. The Xia Family! As if I give a damn!"
"Yun Zijin! Wait!"
Xia Zhiyun shouted Yun Zijin’s name, but she showed no intention of stopping.
However, between high heels and leather shoes, the leather shoes were ultimately faster. Xia Zhiyun caught up to Yun Zijin and blocked her path.
"What is the meaning of this, Young Master Xia? You ask me to a birthday banquet, but you don’t even give me an invitation. I’m just a country bumpkin who grew up in an orphanage and was only recently found by you people. So maybe I don’t know you need an invitation to a banquet, but you don’t know either?
"How many times did you ask me to come, yet not once did it occur to you to give me an invitation? Not once!
"I get it now. You did this on purpose, didn’t you? You were afraid I’d cause trouble for Xia Jiajiao, so you used this to put me in my place, to warn me not to go against her, right?
"How incredibly thoughtful of you, Young Master Xia!"
Yun Zijin gave Xia Zhiyun a cold glance. Zero One, ever perceptive, stepped forward to block him. "Miss, you go on ahead. I’ll be right behind you."
Yun Zijin shot Zero One an appreciative look, then led her other attendants past Xia Zhiyun and straight into the elevator.
When Xia Zhiyun ran out, quite a few people had followed him. Hearing Yun Zijin rip into him, their eyes practically glowed with excitement.
They were particularly interested when they heard Yun Zijin say she was the recently found daughter of the Xia Family and mentioned Xia Jiajiao as her counterpart. Countless scandalous theories about the wealthy family were already forming in their minds.
But the most important takeaway was that the Xia Family had a daughter they had only recently found!
But Xia Zhengguang’s wife, Zhang Yiqin, had only ever been pregnant twice!
After all, a pregnancy was basically impossible to hide, unless...
Suddenly, the way the crowd looked at Xia Zhengguang and Zhang Yiqin became rather strange.
Just a moment ago at the banquet, Xia Zhengguang and Zhang Yiqin had personally admitted that Xia Jiajiao was also their biological child.
That righteously indignant woman outside couldn’t have been lying, could she? Judging by Xia Zhiyun’s behavior, their initial assessment was that what she said had to be true.
