At a charity banquet, Chu Xiang met the Chu family again. This was the first time she met them after leaving the Chu family.
This charity banquet was organized by Madame Feng, who had a high status in the circle. She had devoted her life to charity, and her family was powerful. Therefore, every time she held a banquet, countless people would ask her for an invitation. This wasn't just a simple charity. It was also a good opportunity to network, so many people would try their best to participate in it.
The Shao Family, the Chu Family, and even Chen Xuan's sugar daddy came with them.
Chu Xiang came with the Shao family. However, Mr. and Mrs. Shao were respected, so they were invited upstairs to have tea with Madame Feng as soon as they entered. Chu Xiang and Shao Yan stayed in the banquet hall to chat with their friends and get to know some people.
When Mr. Chu called her, she had just exchanged business cards with the boss of an advertising company. They planned to talk about a new product cooperation later.
Chu Xiang heard someone calling her. She turned around with a polite smile and saw Mr. and Mrs. Chu, as well as "Sister Chu" who had just been found by Mrs. Chu. She nodded and greeted them distantly. "Mr. Chu, Mrs. Chu, long time no see. This must be Sister Chu. Congratulations on your family's reunion. "
Mr. Chu looked at her with a complicated expression. "Thank you. How … have you been recently? "
Chu Xiang said lightly, "Very good. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Chu. My friend is over there. Excuse me. "
"Wait." Mr. Chu stopped her and looked at Shao Yan beside her. He frowned and asked, "This is?"
Chu Xiang introduced him briefly. "This is Shao Yan, my classmate."
Mrs. Chu looked back and forth between Chu Xiang and Shao Yan. She suddenly remembered that Chen Xuan had once passed by. Chu Xiang's card had been suspended and she had bought branded clothes. Maybe she was a sugar daddy.
Of course, she knew that Chen Xuan was now a sugar daddy. If even Chen Xuan, who grew up in a noble family, could be a sugar daddy, wouldn't it be easier for Chu Xiang, who suddenly came from the slums to the prosperous world, to be confused and go the wrong way? Anyway, she didn't believe that Chu Xiang could make so much money and run a good company by herself. It would be different if she was taken over by someone else.
Chu Mochen's mother was now extremely sensitive about the relationship between men and women. Thinking of this, she showed some disdain in her eyes and taught her like a noble lady, "The most important thing for a girl is to stay true to herself. Don't go astray because of greed and vanity. In any case, you were once our daughter. If you encounter any difficulties, you can come to us for help. Don't abandon yourself. "
Shao Yan raised his head, and his eyes were as sharp as swords. Mrs. Chu was shocked and almost couldn't help but step back. Then, she became angry and said with a frown, "Whose child is this? Why haven't I seen it before? Chu Xiang, you haven't been in this circle for long. Be careful not to get cheated and end up with nothing. "
Chu Xiang gave a sarcastic smile and said, "Mrs. Chu, friendship is not based on status and benefits. Twenty years ago, Mrs. Chu was just an ordinary person. Now that she was rich, she judged people based on their social status? When I drowned, everyone thought I was dead. It was Shao Yan who insisted on saving my life. He is my savior. No matter whose child he is, there is no deception between us. Thank you for your concern, Mrs. Chu. "
Mrs. Chu's face darkened. Chu Xiang's words were clearly scolding her for being stubborn and meddling in other people's business. Mr. Chu looked at Shao Yan again with a surprised expression. "He is your savior?"
Chu Xiang chuckled and said, "At that time, Mr. and Mrs. Chu were busy with business and had no time to care about other things. You just thought that I drowned as a child playing house. Naturally, you didn't know that I was your savior. Now that the real daughter of the Chu family has been found, you must take good care of her. After all, Mrs. Chu tried her best to find her. "
Chu Xiang looked at Mrs. Chu and Sister Chu and showed an ambiguous smile, as if she knew everything, which shocked Mrs. Chu. Mrs. Chu said almost reflexively, "It's none of your business. I just reminded you out of kindness. I was afraid that you would be cheated. Forget it if you don't appreciate it. Let's go."
"Who would be cheated?" Mrs. Shao walked over with a glass of champagne in an elegant posture. She seemed to ask casually, but there was a kind of momentum in her, which made Mrs. Chu feel inferior.
Some people had noticed the situation here before. Now that Mrs. Shao came, more people paid attention to it.
Mr. Chu hurriedly said, "Mrs. Shao, we are just talking about the old days."
"Oh? I thought Mrs. Chu was worried that my son would cheat Xiang Xiang. Although we are busy with business, we have never slackened our son's education. Please don't worry, Mrs. Chu. "Mrs. Shao walked to Shao Yan and patted him on the shoulder.
This was the first time that Shao Yan attended a banquet as the young master of the Shao family. Many people didn't know his identity and were surprised to see this scene. And the most surprised people were the Chu couple opposite them.
Mrs. Chu's words were not polite. Mrs. Shao's words made it seem that Mrs. Chu was questioning the upbringing of the Shao family. How dare the Chu family? Even if the Chu family's property was ten times more than the Shao family's, it couldn't compare with the Shao family's, which had been passed down for five generations. If Mrs. Chu had known that Shao Yan was the young master of the Shao family, she wouldn't have offended anyone. Now she was so anxious that she was sweating.
However, Mrs. Shao didn't let her go. She took Chu Xiang's hand in front of her and said intimately, "Xiang Xiang is a lovely girl. I liked her very much from the first time I saw her. I just thought that you had been separated from Xiang Xiang for many years and needed to spend more time with her. I didn't want to disturb you. But I didn't expect that you had such special preferences. You didn't like Xiang Xiang. Now it's even better. Xiang Xiang is not your daughter. Then I can have Xiang Xiang and spoil her. "
Mr. and Mrs. Chu's expressions became stiff. Mrs. Shao was of noble status. They had to give her face. If they got angry and fell out with her, the company's business would be more difficult. So even if Mrs. Shao scolded them, they could only listen.
Mr. Chu felt the eyes from all directions. He said awkwardly, "Mrs. Shao, you've known Xiang Xiang for a long time? I've never heard of her before. We care about Xiang Xiang very much. But Xiang Xiang is too busy to meet us. "
He wanted to point out that it wasn't that they didn't contact Chu Xiang. It was Chu Xiang who refused to contact them. However, Mrs. Shao immediately said, "Xiang Xiang is too busy. She's such a young girl. She should be having fun. But she gets up early and works late to make money. She not only pays you back one million yuan, but also buys us gifts every weekend. She's a strong girl. She can distinguish between kindness and hatred. If she had been spoiled, how could she become the head of the family at such a young age? It's too hard. "
Chu Xiang said with a smile, "Mrs. Shao, it's not hard at all because you care about me."
Mr. Chu looked at the heartache on Mrs. Shao's face and the happiness on Chu Xiang's face. He was speechless. Mrs. Shao knew very well that Chu Xiang could distinguish between kindness and hatred. She didn't want to contact the Chu Family because of the old grudges. So what? Shouldn't she? She had even paid back the money she spent on the Chu Family with interest. It was too much to ask Chu Xiang to be nice to them.
Chu Xiang also knew what was good and what was bad. Didn't Mrs. Shao say that Chu Xiang bought them gifts every weekend? If Mrs. Shao was nice to Chu Xiang, she would pay her back double. Everyone knew how the Chu Family treated Chu Xiang in the past. The Chu Family even had the nerve to accept money. How could they have the face to teach in front of Chu Xiang now?
Mr. and Mrs. Chu felt that their faces had been peeled off. They had lost all face at this dinner party.
Mrs. Shao nodded to Mr. and Mrs. Chu, "I'm going to take the two children to meet Madam Chu. Excuse me."
Mr. and Mrs. Chu watched them leave respectfully. They saw Chu Xiang holding Mrs. Shao's arm and smiling at her naturally. They were as close as mother and daughter. Thinking that Chu Xiang called Mrs. Shao "Mrs. Shao" just now, they felt uneasy.
Mrs. Chu was a little extreme because of the recent events. She didn't admit that she was wrong. Instead, she thought that Chu Xiang despised the poor and loved the rich. When she thought that Chu Xiang was her daughter in the Chu Family, Chu Xiang lowered her head and didn't smile. She never called her "Mom" intimately. Now it was the honorable Mrs. Shao. Chu Xiang called her "Mrs. Shao" all the time. She gave her gifts and intimately flattered her. What a snob!
Mr. Chu was very regretful. According to Mrs. Shao's words, Mrs. Shao had liked Chu Xiang very much before she left the Chu Family. At that time, no one in the world knew that Chu Xiang was not the daughter of the Chu Family. If they had treated Chu Xiang better and didn't do the paternity test, Chu Xiang would still be his daughter. Maybe she would have married Shao Yan. At that time, the Chu Family would have been able to rise to a higher level with the help of the Shao Family.
The development of the Chu Family had stagnated for several years and even began to reverse. Mr. Chu found that he missed such an "opportunity", which was more painful than being stabbed. He even thought that if he had firmly disagreed with Chu Xiang's leaving home after the paternity test and simply recognized Chu Xiang as his adopted daughter, he would have been able to get close to the Shao Family. As for the heir, he could find another one. Without Chu Xiang, the Chu Family almost lost the only chance to move forward. It was so painful!
When they went to a place where there were few people, Mr. Chu heard Mrs. Chu's muttering and complaining. He felt more and more happy. Thinking of the saying that "a man with a virtuous wife will have less trouble", he felt that it was all Mrs. Chu's fault for missing such a good opportunity. He was busy in the company. If Mrs. Chu, who took care of the family, had treated Chu Xiang well, how could the Chu Family have fallen into such an embarrassing situation now? If he had known, he would have divorced early and married another virtuous wife.
Mr. Chu missed Chu Xiang, a daughter who could bring him great benefits. He didn't like his "biological daughter" anymore. She was just an ordinary girl. Not only did she not know how to do things, but she was also not as good as Chu Xiang. Why couldn't his daughter be Chu Xiang?
Chu Xiang saw their expressions from a distance and slightly raised the corners of her mouth. They were really divided at heart. Maybe there would be a dog-eat-dog show soon.
Thanks to Mrs. Chu, the girl she found who pretended to be Sister Chu was 70% similar to her. The two of them looked like mother and daughter just by standing there. They looked even more alike than Chu Xiang. Therefore, no one on the scene doubted that Chu Xiang and the Chu Family's identification was wrong. Look, didn't the Chu Family find their biological daughter? Although the process was full of twists and turns, they still found her.
Living in such a circle, blood relations were too important. If she was still the daughter of the Chu Family, the Chu Family would always have an excuse to climb up the Shao Family and get some benefits. If they couldn't get any benefits, they would be angry and resentful. But now, the Chu Family could only look up to the Shao Family and watch her get close to the Shao Family. They didn't dare to climb up the Shao Family. They were even afraid that the Shao Family would take revenge on them for Chu Xiang.
The Chu Family got rid of the identity of the daughter of the Chu Family and got rid of all the troubles. And all the glory she was about to have, the Chu Family couldn't have a trace of it.
Mrs. Shao took Chu Xiang and Shao Yan to Mr. Shao's side and then chatted with Madame Feng for a long time. Madame Feng was so kind that it was obvious that she liked Chu Xiang and Shao Yan very much. She even gave them a greeting gift. She valued them very much.
Shao Yan was the only heir of the Shao Family. Even if he didn't show up before, he should be valued like this. But Chu Xiang was an orphan. It was absolutely because of the Shao Family that she could be valued like this. Seeing that Mrs. Shao had been holding Chu Xiang's hand intimately, people naturally attached more importance to Chu Xiang in their hearts. They didn't dare to look at this orphan who broke into the circle of fame and fortune.
They didn't know the inside story and asked others. The muddle-headed things of the Chu Family and Chu Xiang's excellence were gradually popularized in the banquet. Mr. and Mrs. Chu were looked at intentionally or unintentionally by many people, as if they were being publicly executed. They regretted coming to the banquet. It was the most embarrassing thing in their lives.
