The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on the faces of Xie Nian and the others reluctantly, releasing circular rings in the room shyly. The white curtains dissipated them bit by bit with the help of the breeze, and covered the circular rings as if they were fighting for favor. Little did they know that when the two sides collided, it illuminated a beautiful rainbow ring.

Xie Cheng held the recent newspaper in both hands and sat at the dining table. However, his focus was not on the newspaper. He had been secretly focusing on the guest room not far away. He muttered in his heart. Why wasn’t she out yet at this time?

Just as Xie Cheng was getting impatient from waiting, Xie Nian and the others walked out of the room unhurriedly. The family of three yawned loudly in unison, then rubbed their eyes before slowly moving to the dining table.

They looked at the glass of milk in front of them and instantly felt bitter and resentful.

Xie Nian hated milk the most. This was the thing that had given Madam Jiang a headache. She didn’t expect that Xie Nian’s two children had also inherited this trait.

“The nutrients in milk are the most abundant, especially if you drink a glass of milk in the morning. It’s more beneficial for the development of your body and mind. Ms. Xie, you have to set an example.”

Only then did Xie Nian look up. Xie Cheng still had that cold look on his face. He actually didn’t even want to call her elder sister anymore?

The dining table was enveloped in an awkward atmosphere. The four of them had a torturous breakfast. If not for their own etiquette, they would have left openly.

“Ms. Xie, I guess you haven’t forgotten the Xie family’s old master’s birthday banquet since you returned at this time. If you don’t have any gowns, I can recommend a few.”

Seeing how awkward Xie Cheng was, Xie Nian laughed in her heart.

This old and mature look on Xie Cheng’s serious face did not seem to fit at all. And he was addressing her as the eldest daughter of the Xie family.

“Then I’ll have to trouble the young master of the Xie family. The eldest daughter of the Xie family is awaiting your good news.”

“You, you—”

“The newspaper in Young Master Xie’s hands is flipped.”

Xie Nian wiped her mouth and reminded him kindly.

“The one I happened to read is printed the opposite way. These people are not serious when they do things. If they were my subordinates, I would definitely give them a good scolding.”

Xie Nian sniggered and laughed out loud. Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. “Oh my, I’m sorry, Young Master Xie. As the eldest daughter of the Xie family, my eyesight is bad. I saw it wrongly. So you weren’t holding the newspaper the wrong way.”

Xie Cheng looked at the newspaper in front of him. Indeed, he had not held it the wrong way. However, because of Xie Nian’s reminder, he had changed it wrongly. Looking at Xie Nian’s current appearance, it was obvious that she was joking with him.

Xie Cheng snorted and slammed the newspaper on the table. The sound it made shocked the two little radishes opposite him. When Xie Cheng noticed this, he stiffened and was at a loss.

In the end, he did not say anything and left the house with disarrayed footsteps.

Hearing the laughter of Xie Nian and the other two from afar, his face turned red.

Although he left the house due to Xie Nian’s teasing, he still arranged for the stylist to come to his house at noon to help her dress up.

It had to be said that Xie Cheng’s taste was really excellent. The black evening gown vividly displayed the curves on Xie Nian’s body. Every movement of hers was like a fairy that had fallen into the mortal world. Every frown and smile tugged at everyone’s heartstrings.

As expected of the eldest daughter of the prestigious family in Jiang Capital . Even after being separated for so many years, even after washing away her glamor, she was still so bright and beautiful.

As long as Ms. Xie appeared, she would attract the attention of everyone. There would probably be another bloodbath tonight.

“Hello, Grandpa. I am here to wish grandpa a long life. This is a Hundred Longevity Painting I specially made for you. I hope you like it, Grandpa.”

The old master of the Xie family looked at the Hundred Longevity Painting in Xie Zhizhi’s hand. Although it wasn’t expensive, the intention behind the gift made it better. He nodded in satisfaction and praised Xie Zhizhi vigorously. Even his most beloved grandson dimmed down.

Tan Xiaoshuang, who was standing at the side, rolled her eyes. Xie Zhanan, who had relied on that woman, Jiang Wanning, to make a name for himself, actually thought that the Nian Cheng Group was his. Who didn’t know that what happened six years ago was a conspiracy?

Only this old master couldn’t see the truth clearly. It was all because he wanted to save face. His son had married into the Jiang family back then. It was only because that woman, Jiang Wanning, was blind, only taking a liking to such a beast-faced person.

There was really nothing to do with Xie Zhanan. Why would Xie Nian and Xie Cheng have the surname Xie? After entering the Xie family, they should have already taken the surname Jiang.

It was still Xia Chu, this woman, who had the ability to silently fan the flames behind the back. She pretended that she was not fighting for anything. Little did he know that this person was the one who stabbed him the deepest.

Then, she looked at the man beside her. He had an honest look on his face and didn’t have any capabilities at all. Furthermore, he was under Xie Zhanan’s command and had only managed to get the position of the security chief. He really wasn’t afraid of others laughing their heads off if they heard of this..
