So cool! The daughter of a rich man returns to run wild in the rich family
Chapter 8 She Killed Mr. Huo
Soon the housekeeper came up to announce that the guests were almost there.
This time, Lu Wenyin ignored Xie Chenghuan's unreasonable entanglement, stepped forward, grasped Xie Jinghong's hand, and said with a smile:
"Come on, mom will take you downstairs."
Xie Chenghuan really didn't want to go on stage with Xie Jinghong, but he couldn't bear to let go of Lu Wenyin's hand. You know, today was Mom's home court, and Dad had specially designed the segment for Mom to appear last.
Only when she is with her mother can she become the focus of the audience.
Lu Wenyin looked around. One was the child she had raised for twenty years, and the other was her biological daughter who saved her life. She had been tormented these days, always wanting to treat them equally, but this was simply impossible.
Xie Jinghong always maintained a polite distance, far inferior to Xie Chenghuan who was kept by his side and would act coquettishly to gain love and attention.
She could only try her best to show more care and concern to Xie Jinghong.
As soon as I walked through the corridor, I heard a lot of noise downstairs.
On one side of the Xie family's long spiral staircase, there are two huge photos hanging, one of Lu Wenyin and the other of Xie Chenghuan.
Ever since she fell down these stairs last time, Lu Wenyin has been frightened every time she walks up the stairs.
Xie Jinghong seemed to have sensed something and held Lu Wenyin's hand tightly as he walked down the stairs.
The scene of the mother and daughter smiling at each other made Xie Chenghuan, who only wanted to show off, suddenly have evil thoughts.
Seeing Lu Wenyin coming down, Xie Yongcong took on the role of host:
"Let us welcome the heroine of this dinner, the cellist, Ms. Lu Wenyin." His tone was exaggerated with pride, and it seemed that he loved his wife very much.
There was warm applause and everyone looked up.
At this moment, someone exclaimed, "Hey, who is the other girl next to Wen Yin?"
"What's happening here?"
Xie Jinghong heard the voice and glanced at the whole audience calmly.
At a glance, she saw Mrs. Xie sitting in the crowd. She was wearing a lake blue satin embroidered cheongsam and was staring at her with her poisonous and cloudy eyes.
This was the first time they met since they arrived at the hospital.
Seeing her so angry, Xie Jinghong opened his lips and smiled beautifully and warmly.
When Mrs. Xie saw her laughing like that, she became even angrier and almost dropped the wine glass in her hand.
Seeing that Xie Jinghong was distracted, Xie Chenghuan deliberately took a step behind and stepped on her skirt.
Because of the appearance of a stranger, she was ignored by everyone. How could she tolerate this?
Xie Jinghong felt the hem of her skirt tighten, and immediately reacted, thinking:
Clumsy!
Then he passed his hind legs around Lu Wenyin, pointed his toes, and a powerful force landed on Xie Chenghuan's calf.
"what!"
Lu Wenyin was still greeting everyone with a smile when her hand suddenly tightened for no reason and she was almost dragged down by the falling Xie Chenghuan.
"Be careful."
Xie Jinghong remained calm and put his hands under control to hold Lu Wenyin firmly.
In the end, only Xie Chenghuan rolled down.
"Cheng Huan."
Everyone exclaimed.
Xie Chenghuan rolled around in a mess, with her pink puffy skirt finally rolled up on her head. Fortunately, she had already walked most of the stairs and was fine.
She stopped at the corner and when she pulled off the hem of her skirt that was wrapped around her head, her hair was disheveled, her makeup was smudged, and she glared at Xie Jinghong with an embarrassed look on her face.
"You push me, Mommy pushes me!"
Xie Jinghong was accused, and all eyes were on her, as if she was a sinner with a heinous crime.
Xie Jinghong's face was filled with panic and astonishment, and he looked at Lu Wenyin helplessly.
"Mom, I don't have any..."
Xie Ci Nan had already rushed over and helped Xie Chenghuan up.
"It was her, big brother, mom and dad, please believe me, she was the one who pushed me."
The carefully crafted look was ruined by Xie Jinghong, and she was so angry that she wanted to bite someone.
"I really didn't. There are so many people watching. If I really pushed it, wouldn't anyone see it? Sister, I know you don't want me to be here, so... should I leave?"
Xie Jinghong lowered her head and said aggrievedly. When she looked up again, her beautiful eyes were filled with tears.
Lu Wenyin patted her hands and said, "I'll walk between you two. If you push, I'll definitely feel it."
Not to mention that she didn't feel any movement from Xie Jinghong, she clearly felt the step Xie Chenghuan took back just now.
"Brother, you were downstairs. You must have seen her push me, right?"
Seeing that his mother said she didn't feel anything, Xie Chenghuan quickly pulled Xie Ci'nan to support him.
Xie Ci Nan didn't want to favor Xie Jinghong, but he really didn't see her make any moves.
"Cheng Huan, today is Mom's big day. Go change your clothes first. When we have time, Big Brother will definitely question her for you."
When Old Mrs. Xie saw her precious granddaughter fall, she rushed over panting.
"I told you not to bring this evil home. Look, now..."
"grandmother."
Xie Ci Nan called her to stop, fearing that she would say something wrong due to her excitement.
He has not been in charge of the Xie Group for a long time. If a scandal occurs in the Xie family at this time, he will have to face more than just how to maintain balance in the family.
Old Mrs. Xie seemed to realize that she was so excited that she almost forgot the occasion and stopped talking.
"Go change your clothes first and then come down."
Xie Ci Nan already had the demeanor of a person in charge and quickly calmed everything down.
This commotion actually made the guests present even more curious about Xie Jinghong.
As soon as Lu Wenyin came down, she congratulated her and asked about Xie Jinghong's identity.
"As you all know, I was injured some time ago and she saved me. She and I have a deep connection. For now, just treat her as my other daughter."
Lu Wenyin really wanted to admit that this was her long-lost daughter, but the current situation did not allow her to do so.
A group of noble ladies surrounded Xie Jinghong and looked at him.
"You know what, this child really looks a bit like Wen Yin."
The women gathered together and chatted.
The ladies' attitude towards Lu Wenyin was only superficial.
Compared with their respective backgrounds, Lu Wenyin only has beauty and talent, but no family background at all.
Xie Yongcong fell in love with her at first sight, but Mrs. Xie was busy with the affairs of the financial group and could not spare any time to pay attention to her, so she agreed to the marriage.
At the beginning, the ladies didn't bring her to parties.
It was in these years that Lu Wenyin gradually gained fame in the music circle with her talent, and this group of ladies were willing to interact with her more.
While they were chatting, a group of young ladies in gorgeous clothes came over and greeted Lu Wenyin:
"Congratulations, Auntie, on winning the grand prize. We'd like to chat with this new sister, is that okay?"
While Xie Chenghuan was changing her clothes, she spoke to her group of sisters:
I don't know what folk remedy she used to save my mother, but she stuck to our family's dog-skin plaster and couldn't be driven away. My mother felt sorry for her and temporarily took her in at home. Please help me take care of her and don't let her embarrass my mother.
Rich girls hate people who want to climb up the social ladder just by giving a little bit of benefit.
They look down on the lower class people from the bottom of their hearts.
Especially when seeing the photos of Xie Chenghuan secretly taken in the hospital, her hair was disheveled at that time, and her clothes were shabby and ugly, which was completely different from her noble appearance now.
Lu Wenyin looked at them with a smile, but did not agree immediately. Instead, she looked at Xie Jinghong.
"Jinghong, do you want to go?"
Xie Jinghong was not used to chatting with this group of ladies about skin care products and luxury goods, so this was a good opportunity for her to leave.
"I'm fine." She curled her eyebrows and smiled harmlessly.
Lu Wenyin reminded her a few more times, asking her not to go too far, before she felt at ease to chat with others.
At a high society banquet, everyone comes with their own purpose.
Men negotiate business, women manage interpersonal relationships for their own businesses while chatting, old ladies look for partners for their children and grandchildren, and socialites and young men fish for each other.
It can be said to be extremely lively.
Xie Jinghong followed them for two steps and was attracted by the exquisite little cakes placed aside.
"You haven't eaten it before, right? Try it. This is made by the best pastry chef in France. I'll give you one as a reward."
Xie Chenghuan's good friend, Lin Shiya, arrogantly picked up a piece and held it high up to tease her like a dog.
“Isn’t this Italian?”
Xie Jinghong chuckled and didn't take it. Instead, he took another more exquisite cake and raised his chin, "This is French."
Lin Shiya was slightly stunned. In her haste, she had mistaken Obera for Tiramisu.
"It's a big deal to know a cake. Tell me, were you the one who pushed Cheng Huan just now?"
"Why don't you ask her?"
Xie Jinghong ate the cake leisurely, neither admitting nor denying.
"Okay, it must be you who pushed her, that's why Chenghuan didn't bother to lie. How can you be so vicious? You want to snatch Chenghuan's position as the daughter of the Xie family just because you saved Madam Xie?" Another member of Xie Chenghuan's sisterhood, He Yiyi, stepped forward and said.
"Did she tell you?"
Xie Jinghong pinched a tissue with his slender fingers, wiped his mouth leisurely, and asked casually.
He Yiyi was slightly stunned.
"I guess Cheng Huan is not the kind of person who is petty. The Xie family is very wealthy, so it's not a problem for them to support you as an idler, but if it's more than that, don't even think about it."
"Who are you to say such things to me?"
Xie Jinghong's eyes were sharp as he stared at the girl's doll-like delicate face in front of him, full of intimidation.
Lin Shiya pulled He Yiyi back a step.
This person looks really scary.
They are obviously the same age, but why does it feel like she can crush them all in the next second? She is so wild.
"Sisters, what are you doing?"
Xie Chenghuan, who had already changed her clothes and came down, greeted her good friends sweetly.
"Cheng Huan, this guest of yours is a bit scary."
Lin Shiya stepped forward to complain.
Along the way, Xie Chenghuan heard many people talking about Xie Jinghong, praising her excellent medical skills. When someone went to the hospital for treatment, the whole hospital was filled with the legend of Xie Jinghong.
Even Huo Jingyang, who was pursuing her, asked her about her identity and why she looked as beautiful as Aunt Lu.
"Don't talk about her like that. She's a guest in our house after all. She even performed a craniotomy on the old man of the Huo family a few days ago. If you mess with her again, she might pry your heads open too."
Xie Chenghuan seemed to be smiling sweetly and trying to help Xie Jinghong out, but in fact he wanted to demonize her.
"What? She even treated the old man of the Huo family?" Several daughters were shocked.
The small group immediately pulled Xie Chenghuan aside and began to inquire for detailed information. The old man of the Huo family was no ordinary person.
Soon, the rumor spread that Xie Jinghong had killed Mr. Huo with her medical treatment, and the Huo family would soon come to settle the score with her.
For a moment, the entire banquet hall was in panic.
Many people made excuses to leave, as if they were afraid that they would have any connection with the Xie family and Xie Jinghong.
Old Mrs. Xie burst into tears and told her old sisters, "I told you not to bring this person back. I consulted a fortune teller and she said she is unlucky for our Xie family. But my daughter-in-law disagrees. She insists that this child saved her and that we are destined to be together. I must repay her for saving my life."
"Now this ignorant wild girl has offended the Huo family. What should we do?"
This crying out further confirmed the fact that Xie Jinghong had killed Mr. Huo with his medical treatment.
While comforting each other, everyone was thinking about how to get out of this banquet safely.
"That's not the case, that's not the case. Jinghong said she healed the patient and nothing will happen to him."
Seeing that the guests believed the rumors, Lu Wenyin immediately explained. Even though she was afraid at the moment, she always stood on Xie Jinghong's side.
But no one listened to her, and the banquet hall was in chaos with people talking about it.
For a while, Xie Jinghong became the target of public criticism.
Everyone looked at her with resentment, hating her for being a wild girl who didn't know how to live or die and brought disaster to everyone.
Huo Jingyang suddenly stood up and asked angrily and domineeringly:
"Is it really you who killed my grandfather?"
A few days ago, that devil took my grandfather away. Later I heard that he was shot, and the news has been completely blocked since then.
I didn't expect that when I came here today to see Cheng Huan, he would hear such bad news.
Huo Jingyang's eyes were red, and his handsome face was full of murderous intent. He wished he could go up and crush Xie Jinghong to death.
Xie Jinghong tilted his head and looked at him.
"Don't you know whether your grandfather is dead or not, grandson?"
Huo Jingyang became even angrier!
Even if he wasn't dead, he wouldn't allow a country girl like her to speak like that about his grandfather.
"If my grandfather dies, I will never let you go."
Huo Jingyang made some harsh remarks.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a deep and intimidating male voice coming from outside:
"Who said she killed Mr. Huo?"
Hearing the sound, everyone looked towards the entrance of the hall.
A tall and straight man in a black suit, with short, neat hair, stunning looks, walked in steadily.
"It's Huo Yunting!"
Someone exclaimed.
The man in front of him was feared by men, dreaded by noble ladies, and only dared to dream of by socialites. They loved his looks but despised his illegitimate status, and the young masters didn't even dare to compare themselves with him.
No one would have thought that Huo Yunting would appear here, and the tension became even greater.
They all stepped back, consciously making way for him.
Huo Yunting was followed by six bodyguards in black, each carrying a large box.
He walked towards Xie Jinghong with firm and steady steps, not knowing what was in the box.
