What? The villain wants to marry me?

Xu Yanfang looked at Xie Qingran standing in front of her and sighed slightly in her heart. It was a pity to lose such a good and capable child.

Xie Qingran looked at Xu Yanfang in front of him, and his heart was slightly moved.

If that incident had not happened, she might never have known why her parents suddenly became so disgusted with her that they couldn't even look at her for an extra second.

Very few people know about this.

So the other people in the Xie family simply disliked her, or they felt that she was a woman but was like a mountain that was impossible to cross, and thus they were disgusted with her.

So she had a hard time since being abandoned by her parents.

Oh, no, it should be said that she has always had a hard life.

Of course, Xu Yanfang also sincerely protected her until she took over Xie Yan's position as heir.

Haha, Xie Qingran finds it ironic when she thinks about it now. It was clearly the Xie family who were incompetent, but in the end they blamed her for being too outstanding?

The so-called elders of the Xie family discovered that among Xie Yan's generation, except for Xie Qingran, there was no one who was capable and responsible.

Even Xie Yan would not be able to do anything well without the status of the eldest grandson of the Xie family.

So this led to them having to grit their teeth and acknowledge Xie Qingran's identity as the heir.

Later, Xie Qingran naturally took over the management of the Xie family.

Even so, Xu Yanfang still did not give up all her power.

But Xie Qingran doesn't care about these things at all.

I just feel that none of the Xie family members are good people.

Xie Qingran said with an impeccable smile, "Grandma's birthday party, I won't miss it no matter what. Look, I specially bought something that Grandma likes, and I thought of giving it to you on this day. Would you like to open it and take a look?"

With so many people watching, Xu Yanfang couldn't refuse, so she followed her lead and said, "Then open it and take a look."

As the box was opened, everyone could see clearly what was inside.

One box contained a ginseng root, which was not very big and even looked a little shriveled, but it was obvious from its appearance that it was of high age.

Another box contained a palm-sized golden Buddha statue.

Xie Qingran: "Grandma, you were thinking about finding these two things before, and now I found them for you. Are you happy?"

Xu Yanfang's cheek twitched. What could she say? If she said she was unhappy, wouldn't that be a waste of Xie Qingran's efforts? What would outsiders think of her?

Happy? Sorry, she didn't feel happy. This girl was just here to make her unhappy.

Xie Qingran looked at the silent Xu Yanfang and did not press any further questions. He asked the bodyguard to put the box down and said to Xu Yanfang: "Grandma, in order to prevent any unpleasantness from happening at your birthday party, I will leave first."

Xu Yanfang remained silent from beginning to end because she didn't know what to say.

Xie Qingran looked at Xu Yanfang who didn't say a word, and sneered in her heart. Are there any people or things in the Xie family that are worth her looking forward to?

Never mind, maybe she was born with a weak sense of kinship.

No longer reluctant to linger, he turned around and left.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, someone rushed in, ran quickly to Xu Yanfang's side, and whispered a few words. She immediately called out to Xie Qingran: "Wait, you can't leave now."

Xie Qingran turned to look at her and said slowly: "What? Do I even need your approval for whether to stay or leave?"

Xu Yanfang didn't want to argue with her and said directly: "What did you do to Lao Er's family?!"

The questioning tone shocked the entire reception room.

Everyone sitting at the table was arguing with each other, wondering what had happened that made Xu Yanfang unable to even attend the banquet.

Xie Qingran looked at the angry Xu Yanfang and said slowly: "They? What does what happened to them have to do with me? Besides, aren't they in Bianzhou District?"

Xu Yanfang: "Did you send someone to deal with them?"

Xie Qingran: "No, I said I would spare them for your sake, so I never did anything about it. What happened today?"

Xu Yanfang asked sternly, "Xie Qingran! You're still quibbling. The person has already been caught, and you still refuse to admit it?!"

Xie Qingran raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean by 'they've captured everyone? They've returned from the border states? Have you forgotten what you promised me?"

The more Xie Qingran spoke, the colder her voice became.

Xu Yanfang was panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down: "I asked them to come back. It's my birthday, so what's wrong with asking them to come back? You can't force them to death, right? No matter what, you have to call him Second Uncle."

Xie Qingran laughed, and his laugh was quite sarcastic: "Second uncle? Are you sure? He deserves to be called Second Uncle, a person who is worse than pigs and dogs?!"

Don't forget, if you hadn't told them to leave and never come back, I would have let them go.

Now you break your promise and let them come back, and you blame me when something goes wrong. What? Do you think I won’t really do anything?

Or do you think that your so-called favor will make me let them go a second time?!"

Suddenly, a murderous atmosphere filled the air.

Everyone who came to the birthday party was almost dumbfounded. They came to attend a party, not to see the Xie family's scandal.

Is it too late to leave now?

Xu Yanfang was so angry that her face turned blue, her chest heaving violently, and she pointed at Xie Qingran with trembling hands, but she couldn't speak.

The other descendants thought that now was the time to show off, and someone immediately jumped out to accuse Xie Qingran.

First, it was the eldest wife's sister, Xie Yan: "Xie Qingran, you caused such a scene at grandma's birthday party. Where do you put grandma and the Xie family?"

The grandson of the second master of the Xie family also chimed in: "That's right, Grandma's 60th birthday was ruined by you like this. How dare you stand there?"

Others are also blaming her.

"Xie Qingran, do you think that just because you've become the head of the family, you can ignore grandma?"

"I think she's just an ungrateful person who can never be tamed."

"The old lady treated her so well, yet she actually wanted to attack the Second Young Master's family. She is truly cruel."

"Isn't it? I don't think she should be allowed to be the head of the family. Brother Yan is the rightful heir."

"Yes, she should be married off to avoid her causing trouble in the Xie family every day."

…………

For a time, everyone in the Xie family, except for Xie Laosi's family of three, was blaming Xie Qingran, as if she had done something heinous to both humans and gods.

Xu Yanfang originally had three sons and one daughter. Xie Laosi was adopted. He was the youngest son of the second old man of the Xie family. Because he was quite likable when he was young, he was adopted by Xu Yanfang.

If you really count, Xie Qingran is the grandson of Master Xie II.

For a large family, flourishing is a good thing, but not cleaning up the dead branches and leaves can also cause problems.

Xie Qingran remained calm in the face of everyone's accusations. He even pulled over a chair and sat down with interest, listening to everyone's accusations and insults.

Don't tell me, it's quite novel.

Ever since she became the head of the Xie family, all these people changed their attitudes, fawning, flattering, and fearing her...

But once there is any sign of trouble, these people start to change their attitude.

Accusations, insults, and condemnations...

Tsk, you know what, this is much more interesting than the Sichuan Opera face-changing.

The entire living room became noisy due to the various voices of the Xie family, while Xie Qingran's calmness formed a sharp contrast with it.

It was clear to those who came to the banquet that there was something wrong with the Xie family.

Instead of protecting such a capable junior, they all blamed and scolded her. Are they afraid that she won't run away?

If they had such a capable younger generation in their family, they would wake up laughing in their dreams.

The rise and fall of a family depends on the efforts of everyone, but a capable successor can make the family prosperous for decades.

What's wrong with the Xie family? Are they ostracizing Xie Qingran like this?

It is said that Madam Xie was quite capable when she was young, so why is it that she can no longer see things clearly now that she is old?

Everyone just thought so in their hearts, and no one stood up to say anything.

To put it bluntly, don't worry about it if it doesn't concern you.
