Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 618 - 345 Eliminating Disasters for the Xia Family!_3

Old Han’s ability to control the situation was indeed commendable; as he spoke, Xia Yuzheng and Huang Qishan gradually calmed down, and the exchange meeting unfolded smoothly.

Throughout the event, Huang Qishan barely looked at his own daughter but instead spent most of his time with Xia Ye and others, constantly praising Xia Ye for being as beautiful as his wife and cursing the criminal who had abducted her.

Huang Qishan still maintained the habit of speaking to Mr. Xia with respectful submission, which Xia Yuzheng couldn’t stand, so he corrected him several times.

Years ago, Huang Qishan had left Capital City for the south, using all his savings to start that farm.

The days in the countryside passed slowly, and he devoted himself to studying the cultivation of flowers.

Later, as his business grew more successful and he earned more money, he continued, not because he valued wealth, but because Mr. Xia liked flowers. He didn’t dare to contact Mr. Xia, yet he harbored the hope that perhaps one day, because of a flower, he might have a chance to see Mr. Xia again.

Xia Yourong stood aside holding a glass of juice, her feelings complex as she watched the continuous stream of people going over to Huang Qishan.

Her biological father was standing before her, and she couldn’t quite say if she was happy or unhappy, but from listening to Uncle Han’s conversation, it seemed her biological father was quite successful in business.

It appeared her mother’s judgment wasn’t so poor after all.

Though she disliked Huang Qishan’s submissive demeanor towards the Xia family, having money was more important than anything else.

Had she known, she would have acted more sensibly when he first approached her to ask for directions. Xia Yourong was unsure of Huang Qishan’s current attitude toward her, whether he wanted to acknowledge her...

Old Hu had been pacing around the entrance hall for quite some time, finally catching his son upon his arrival: "You rascal! I told you to come early, yet you’re still so late! Are you deliberately trying to discredit your old man?"

"Really, it’s not like that. Our club had a lot of stuff to finish!"

"Nonsense, what’s so busy about a Cultivation Society? Busy trying to ascend to heaven?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yourong looked over and was suddenly stunned the moment she saw Mr. Hu.

In her memory, he had always been a little chubby, but the man now, though not tall, was quite handsome.

Xia Yourong, seeing an opportunity and realizing that he was looking her way, smoothed her ponytail and stepped forward: "Mr. Hu, I am..."

But before she could speak, Hu Zhuangzhuang’s gaze swiftly moved past her towards someone behind her: "Junior sister! You’re here at the exchange too? If I had known, I would have come earlier!"

After saying this, Xia Yourong watched as Hu Zhuangzhuang, without even a glance at her, walked right past her and jogged over to Xia Ye.

Xia Yuzheng asked Xia Ye how she knew Mr. Hu from the Hu family, and Xia Ye smiled, "We are in the same club."

Xia Yuzheng raised an eyebrow: "That’s quite a coincidence."

He had once thought his daughter was aloof and lacked sociability and had worried about her future; now he realized he had been mistaken. If a person is truly outstanding, even if she is not sociable, people will still gravitate towards her.

Xia Yourong watched as more and more people gathered around Xia Ye while she remained alone.

Even the Mr. Hu whom her grandmother intended to introduce to her had become an attendant to Xia Ye.

Feeling utterly despondent, her gaze shifted back to Huang Qishan. Staying with the Xia family offered her no future; fortunately, heaven was kind to her by giving her a wealthy father at this time.

Although Huang Qishan was cold towards her, the blood relationship was there; he couldn’t deny it.

Meanwhile, Huang Qishan and Xia Yuzheng also talked about Xia Yourong.

However, after only a few sentences, both men fell silent.

Huang Qishan had often inquired about Xia Yourong over the years, and since Xia Ye’s return, he had heard all about what she had done.

He felt nothing but shame.

In fact, even if Xia Yourong had not come today, he would have gone to find her.

This trip to Capital City was primarily to see Mr. Xia and his people, and secondly, for Xia Yourong.

As he watched his daughter, who had the same cunning eyes as her mother, he hesitated before coming. After all, she was his child, and if she was leading a miserable life, it would undoubtedly disturb him deeply.

Yet Xia Yourong’s performance earlier washed away the last of his hesitation entirely.

He bent down and whispered something in his assistant’s ear, who looked shocked: "What? Why would you do that? That’s too sudden."

"It’s not sudden at all. I had already made up my mind before coming here; once we board the plane back to the south, you just release the news as I instructed," Huang Qishan squinted and stood up, heading towards Xia Yourong...

ps: Will Xia Yourong’s dream of becoming a wealthy heiress come true?
