"What did you receive from Xia Meihui that makes you speak for her like this?" Xu Nanyi said sarcastically.
Faced with Xu Nanyi's strong attitude, Zhou Muyu was so angry that her face turned red, her chest heaving violently, and she retorted angrily: "Stop talking nonsense! What do you mean by this!"
At this moment, she seemed a little helpless because of her anger. Her originally pretty face was now as red as a ripe apple, shy and embarrassed.
"Hmph! If you hadn't accepted her things, how could you have helped Xia Meihui so wholeheartedly? I'd like to ask, what kind of precious treasure did she give you that could make you side with her so recklessly? Could it be comparable to the flowers that Ruoan gave you?" Xu Nanyi's face was full of disdain, and his tone was full of sarcasm.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Muyu immediately retorted excitedly, "Don't talk nonsense! That was a gift from my future sister-in-law! I just accepted it. It's a high-end bag that's hard to find! She specially asked someone to buy it for me. It's said to cost a full five hundred thousand!"
As she spoke, she picked up the bag from the sofa and showed it proudly to Xu Nan.
Xu Nanyi casually glanced at the so-called high-end bag and couldn't help but sneered: "Haha, just this shabby bag?"
Zhou Muyu looked at her in disbelief. "What's that shabby bag? This is haute couture. Xia Ruoan is just a country girl who grows vegetables and flowers. She's just lucky. Thanks to the child in her belly, she was able to climb onto Young Master Leng's high branch."
"Otherwise, she might never have the chance to see what true haute couture is in her lifetime!"
Xu Nanyi looked at the bag in Zhou Muyu's hand with a hint of joking and continued, "You are so blind! This bag is already out of season, and you still hold it like a treasure."
"I'm not afraid to tell you this, but when this bag was first released, it was only worth 130,000 yuan at most. And think about those flowers you threw away in front of Ruoan, looking down on them. Their value must have been at least 500,000 yuan!"
At this point, Xu Nanyi looked at Zhou Muyu again, the smile on his face becoming more mocking and contemptuous. "If you don't believe me, you can go to the counter and check the price yourself. Oh, no, there's actually no need to go to the counter at all, you can check it directly on the official website!"
Zhou Muyu's friend was extremely efficient and conducted a thorough investigation as Xu Nanyi had said. Not long after, the results came out, and as expected, they were just as Xu Nanyi had predicted.
"Muyu, Miss Xu is absolutely right! Look at your bag, it is indeed an old model from three years ago. Now you can easily buy it on the market for less than 100,000 yuan." The friend said to Zhou Muyu seriously.
Zhou Muyu's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. She screamed, "This is absolutely impossible! How could this be? My sister-in-law is the daughter of the Xia family. How could she possibly try to trick me with something so outdated? And those flowers from Xia Ruoan are actually worth half a million? That's ridiculous!"
Xu Nan's disdain deepened upon hearing this. She sneered, "Don't be naive! Xia Meihui's family are just a bunch of imposters. They just changed their surnames. Do you really think you can marry into the Xia family?"
"Come on, Zhou Muyu! If you still don't believe me, you can go find my mom and ask her for the truth. Is that bouquet of flowers only worth half a million?"
"Thinking back, someone once offered a full million to buy it from my mother, but my mother was reluctant to sell it." Xu Nan crossed his arms, raised his chin, and looked down at Zhou Muyu and her brother beside her in a condescending manner.
Xu Nanyi continued to mock him mercilessly, "You people are often so short-sighted. The things you look down upon aren't because they are worthless, but because you simply aren't lucky enough to possess them."
"It's just like your elder brother, who gave up a beauty as precious as a pearl and chose that dull fish eye." After saying that, Xu Nanyi cast a sarcastic look at the brother and sister.
Xu's mother slowly walked in. After hearing these words, she glanced at her daughter helplessly and said softly, "Mu Yu, Nan Yi was right just now. Do you remember? Those flowers Ruoan gave you on your birthday were all brand new varieties that she had carefully cultivated! It's a pity that you didn't know how to cherish them, so Nan Yi picked them up and gave them to me."
Having said that, Mother Xu sighed slightly and continued, "Actually, I'm an amateur flower grower myself. Over the years, I've made many friends who also love flower growing."
"When they learned about these flowers, they came to visit me one after another, expressing their desire to buy them. You know, one million is not the upper limit of the price of these flowers, but I just can't bear to sell them."
"If we put it up for auction, the price might be even higher! After all, it's a rare treasure, and it's a one-of-a-kind piece!"
As soon as Xu's mother finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.
At this moment, someone suddenly interrupted, "By the way, I also heard something. Although the hostess of today's banquet is surnamed Xia, she doesn't seem to have any real connection to the Xia family. And that guy named Xia Jiye didn't even get a single share of the Xia family."
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused a burst of discussion.
Another person chimed in, "Oh, you're so out of touch! The Xia family's true eldest son has long since returned, and the Xia family arranged for his adopted son to inherit his shares and work in the company. As for this Xia Jiye, Old Master Xia never acknowledged his identity at all!"
It was also said that the death of Old Madam Xia was inextricably linked to Xia Meihui's grandmother and her father! As soon as this news came out, it was like a bombshell dropped into the crowd, instantly stirring up a thousand waves.
"Is this true or false?" Some people couldn't help but whisper to each other, but even such a slight sound could not escape the keen ears of everyone present.
"I heard that it was revealed by a servant who was fired from the Xia family and went to work as a servant in another family. As for which family specifically... Oh, I really can't remember at the moment."
The lady spoke mysteriously, obviously quite proud of the gossip she had.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were turned to Zhou Mufan and Zhou Muyu, brother and sister, with strange looks in their eyes.
In such a comparison, these two siblings are really short-sighted!
On the other side of the press conference, Mr. Xia looked at his son and granddaughter with a broad smile, his eyes revealing an unconcealable joy. His long-cherished son had finally returned, though not because he missed him as a father.
