The patriarch looked at the happy reunion of the “father and daughter” and was very pleased.
He just knew Xia Xibei was definitely their Qi family’s child!
Only the Qi family’s children could be this good!
However, when he saw Qiao Yanjue beside Xia Xibei, the smile on his face faded.
“Beibei, is he your boyfriend? Which family is he from?”
“Well, he’s my boyfriend, and his name is Qiao Yanjue. His mother is Ms. Liu, who came with me yesterday.”
Xia Xibei graciously introduced her boyfriend.
“Oh, so he’s a child of the Qiao family!”
The old man nodded his head in a daze.
Although he didn’t have much dealings with the Qiao family, it didn’t mean he didn’t know about the Qiao family.
Twenty to thirty years ago, the Qiao family hadn’t made a fortune yet, but in recent years, the Qiao family has developed very well.
However, no matter how good that family was, it was not comparable to their family.
Although Qiao Yanjue seemed alright, the old man still felt pity for him.
Not to mention anything else, it would be a waste for an outstanding talent such as Xia Xibei to be with Qiao Yanjue.
With Xia Xibei’s talent, she should find an equally talented man from another family, so that she could be part of a strong combination.
However, he didn’t say it directly.
Xia Xibei had brought Qiao Yanjue here today, which meant that the two of them had a very good relationship.
Under such circumstances, if he asked her to break up with him, he would only get a rebellious attitude.
However, while the old man didn’t say anything, Qi Zhiqiang was dissatisfied.
“Beibei, you had a hard time before, so you could only find ordinary boys. It’s not your fault. Now, you are already a child of the Qi family, so you don’t have to condescend yourself like this. Don’t worry, dad will find a better man for you!”
These words made Qiao Yanjue’s face darken.
Who could be happy about being insulted over and over again?
However, before he could say anything, Xia Xibei stepped forward again.
“No need, I like him a lot.” She looked around, her eyes calm. “Even if I’m a child of the Qi family, that doesn’t mean you guys can dictate my affairs, especially my own relationship.”
The moment these powerful words came out, everyone else’s face changed.
There was also an older man in the room with white hair who was offended by these words.
“How can you say such things?!”
The old man had a stern face and looked very serious. He looked downcast and was very unhappy.
“You are the child of our Qi family, you-”
“So what?” Xia Xibei did not care in the slightest that he was an elder as she talked back. “Even if I am a Qi family member, have I ever eaten a grain of rice from you? Now you are telling me what to do? Who gave you the qualification?”
“Beibei…” Ling Xiao called out nervously, her face tinged with worry.
She didn’t expect that Xia Xibei would dare to speak like this as soon as she came back.
The white-hared man was the elder of the Qi family. Wasn’t it offensive for her, a junior, to say these words to him?
The elders of the Qi family had a lot of resources on hand. There was nothing to gain by offending them.
Qi Zhi’an was also a little worried.

He knew about Xia Xibei and Qiao Yanjue’s relationship, and he knew that they were very close, but he didn’t expect Xia Xibei to be offending the elders as soon as she returned.
Although what she said was right, it could easily make the elders angry.
“How dare you!”
The elder slammed the table and glared, and his authority came out at once.
If it were anyone else, they might have already knelt down, but Xia Xibei remained calmly standing.
