Chapter 242: Chapter 242 girls still had to rely on their parents
Otherwise, Yan XI, as a girl, was not qualified to sit at the main table.
Li Meiyun stood up with a smile and invited Yan XI to the main table.
“Listen to Auntie. Apologize to your father and great aunt later. Actually, on the bright side, you have a sister and someone to share the burden and honor with your father. This is such a good thing.”
She had been the Xi family’s eldest daughter-in-law for her entire life. She was the true elder of Yan Xi, yet she had to smile apologetically at her niece.
She was so aggrieved that she could not help but want to put on the airs of an elder.
Yan Xi glanced at her. “You’re right. I think my cousin is quite filial to my father and also shares the burden for me and my brother. Why Don’t you let him take over as my father? This is such a good thing, isn’t it?”
Li Meiyun’s expression changed instantly.
Xi Yaohua had indeed been close to Xi Jingxing and his wife ever since they were young, leaving his own parents aside.
After he entered Xi Empire, he would often stay away from home for three to five days, only hanging around XI jingxing.
“Yan Xi, you’re joking, but since you’re not willing to go, then forget it.”Li Meiyun turned around and left in a hurry.
She only had one precious son, Xi Yaohua, so naturally, she wouldn’t let anyone!
She only wanted to get her hands on her second son’s property, but she didn’t want to give her son away to others.

When XI jingxing walked over, he was a little curious why Li Meiyun’s expression was so ugly. The other party didn’t even pay attention to his greeting.
“Yan Yan, I’m really happy that you’re here,”Xi Jingxing turned around and said to Yan XI. He paused for a moment and then added, “Your aunt is a bit of a chatterbox... she’s old, don’t lower yourself to her level.”
Yan Xi looked at Xi Jingxing in surprise.
This was really unexpected. The other party had said such things. It seemed that he had been beaten up by society recently and finally understood that one couldn’t be too saintly.
Xi Yan called out to her father. Yan Xi waited for a moment and asked, “When will the banquet begin?”
She didn’t want to wait here. After all, the Yan family was probably still waiting for her to go over for dinner.
XI jingxing said, “The guests haven’t arrived yet. Yan Yan, if you’re bored, I’ll take you to say hello to your great-aunt?”
He looked at Yan Xi tentatively. When he saw her nod, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.
His daughter had indeed come to express her goodwill. This was really great.
Yan Xi followed XI jingxing to the main table. Li Meiyun’s expression was a little stiff. She had gone to invite Yan Xi but she had refused to come over. Xi Jingxing had gone to invite her over immediately.
This was simply a slap to her face.
Xi Lurong said, “Yan XI is here. Take a seat. Xi Yan, go and entertain the guests with your father.”
Xi Yan responded with an “OH”, but she sat firmly on the stool and did not move at all.
Gu Nianzhi Feng stood not far away and glanced over.
Xi Lurong was unable to command anyone, so she was instantly a little embarrassed and angry. What was Yan Xi trying to do? She actually brought people over. was she afraid that she would eat her up?
“Why do you care so much about your brother? He’s a man. Don’t you think you’re going overboard? Or do you want him to be estranged from the Xi Family? His surname is xi!”
Xi Lurong paused and continued, “Also, you forced your father to move out of the house because of a small matter of jealousy. As his parents, it’s not appropriate for him to be calculative with you. Since you’re here today to celebrate your birthday, then listen to my advice. Apologize to your father and invite him back properly.”
The people sitting at this table were a bunch of old people. They were old, so naturally, they had the right to teach disobedient and insensible juniors a lesson.
“Yan XI, this is your fault. How Could You Chase Your Father Out?”
“If it wasn’t for your father working hard to support you, would you have the life you have today? You Can’t forget your roots.”
“Even though your surname is Yan, you’re still a XI family girl. The XI family is closest to you, so the others are separated by a few levels. You Can’t listen to others’provocations.”
“You’ll know when you grow up. Girls still have to rely on their parents after all.”
“That’s right. Your Health isn’t good, so you’ll have to rely on your father in the future.”
“Don’t think that you’re rich now. You Don’t know anything, and sooner or later, the money will be swindled away by others. You might as well leave it to your father to take care of it. It’ll save you a lot of trouble.”
Xi Yan’s head hurt when he heard this. These people really dared to say such things.
He turned to look at Xi Jingxing and realized that he didn’t look surprised at all... so he had already been through this?
“Then you’re wrong. Putting the money in Yan Yan’s hands will earn more money.”Xi Yan couldn’t help it anymore, “Did my mother leave much money for Yan Yan at that time? The few hundred million that she donated were all earned by Yan Yan herself.”
Actually, there was one more thing that he did not say. Even though he did not understand the financial economy and investment, he could still sense whether xi jing could do it or not.
Xi Empire’s decline was the best example.
Giving the money to Xi Jing Xing to manage was indeed a relief because not only would the other party squander all the money, he would also be favored by these uncles and elders.
Of course, it would be a relief if all the money was gone.
The scene fell silent for a moment before XI jingren hurriedly said, “Xi Yan, there’s no place for you to speak here.”
Xi Luorong said, “Yan XI, didn’t you come over today to celebrate my birthday because you’ve already thought things through? There are all kinds of parents in the world. Whatever your father does, it’s all for your own good.”
“I’ve told you before, Xiangxiang is the Xi family’s Lucky Star. Adopting her is to celebrate the Xi family’s birthday, so your illness can recover faster. “Look, there’s a turn for the better now. Her cancer drug has already been approved by the Chinese Medical Association. When the time comes, you’ll definitely be the first to use this cancer drug.”
She purposely raised her voice so that most of the people present could hear her words.
There was an uproar at the scene.
Chen Xiangxiang’s cancer drug seemed to be real? Even though they did not know when it would be released on the market, even a fool knew how good the prospects were and how high the profits were.
No wonder the Xi family was willing to take the risk of offending the Yan family to adopt Chen Xiangxiang as their adopted daughter.
Everyone looked at Yan Xi, wondering how she would react.
This person actually chased XI jinxing out of the house. He looked quite valiant, but he was probably going to be as fierce as a tiger after a round of operations. In the end, he would have to kneel down and Beg XI jinxing to go back.
Yan Xi smiled slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of disappointment. “I thought you had some new reason to adopt Chen Xiangxiang, but it turns out it’s still the same old story.”
Xi Lulong’s brows twitched violently. She was afraid that Yan XI would bring up the matter of Du Xiaoman using the cancer injection again.
After all, she did not dare to push her too hard, so she changed the topic, “Forget it. You’re already here. I’m sure you know what’s going on. I Won’t say much more. “This is something you gave me. It’s quite valuable. I know how you feel. Actually, you don’t have to be so polite. I’m Old and I only hope that the family can be harmonious. I’m very happy that you’re here to celebrate my birthday.”
As she spoke, she subconsciously reached for the jewelry box that Yan XI had placed on the table.
Then she took nothing.
