Chapter 216 - So-called Sainted Daughter (1/2)

”Master! She is here.” Mr. Hong came to report. With a stern gaze, he emphasized the SHE strongly.

Elder Xiao's face turned sour. ”Old Tang is here?”

”Yes, Master. Plus, Jings are with her.” Mr. Hong whispered while raising his eyes to look at the door.

Looking at the entrance, Xiao Ran's mind screamed in alarm.

Why are the Jings here? Right when the Yue family is here. This is too much of a coincidence.

Elder Xiao glanced at the door and then returned to lad snuggling in his ŀȧp warmth with a deep frown. Although he did not expect to see her soon, it was not that strange for her to show up. 'She must be here for Jing Zhe.'

Following Advisor Yu was a graceful woman donned in a cheongsam. Old Tang strode haughtily into the living room like it was her home.

Jing Zhe, who followed behind Old tang had her head down. She was dressed casually but managed to be elegant and gorgeous. Today, she had taken care to dress up and was especially good to look at. Her brows and eyes were soft, her facial features refined, and she had a graceful temperament.

In comparison, Xiao Shen had on a low-key dress that showed off her status. Which was definitely not her style!

With one glance, they could see that Xiao Shen was holding a delicately crafted gift box.

Yue Wan sneered while slipping the ice cream in her hand: 'My my .... they are well prepared. Must be that Old Tang's scheme.'

Entering the living room, Jing Zhe's eyes fell on Yue Wan, a rush of fire and envy surged through the heart!

Not only her, the moment Xiao Shen laid her eyes on Yue Wan, she almost lost control of her fury.

However, Old Tang's voice stopped them from breaking out: ”Master Xiao, hope you forgive me for not notifying prior coming to the Xiao home.”

Elder Xiao glanced back: ”It's okay, you have been away from the Xiao for the past 30 years, so you might have forgotten the rules. Unlike those who never have the intention to follow it.”

He looked at Old Tang in surprise, but then his eyes turned icy when he looked at the Jings.

Jing Zhe's expression stiffened. She bit on her tongue, to control her emotion.

Xiao Shen appeared as though she heard nothing and brought forth the gift before Elder Xiao: ”Uncle, this box is full of priceless books. It's been passed down from generations and has been treasured by the succeeding dynasties. My mother spent a lot of effort to get it.”

Elder Xiao sent a piercing look at the box. His face depicted a scary and fierce storm.

Before he could explode, all of a sudden, a gentle voice came from the couch. It carried gracefulness and a bit of jeering.

”Mrs. Jing, you are really considerate. However, you do lack in a certain part of the brain which holds education. One could easily see through your intentions by your act.” Yue Wan looked at her mockingly.
