2122 We Only Know That the Other Party’s Surname Is Qiao
The Xie family.
Mother Xie had received the invitation an hour ago and asked someone to call Xie Xinyao back from the research institute.
“Mom, I’m back.”
Xie Xinyao had just entered and had yet to put down her things. Seeing that the atmosphere in the living room was heavy, she frowned and asked the person on the sofa, “Mom, what’s wrong? Why were you so anxious to call me back?”
Mother Xie’s expression was ugly. Tense, she didn’t speak.
Xie Xinyao frowned and turned her head. From the corner of her eye, she noticed the invitation letter on the table. “What is this?”
She bent down and picked up the invitation letter. Her expression changed after she opened it!
The red and gold invitation letter was clear—Xie Tingyun wanted to acknowledge her goddaughter and invited them to the filiation banquet!
Xie Xinyao’s breathing suddenly quickened as she looked at her parents in disbelief. “Dad, Mom, what’s going on? Aunt…”
“Your aunt is holding a filiation banquet,” Mother Xie replied with difficulty.
Xie Xinyao grabbed the invitation letter unacceptably. “Mom, didn’t you say before that you wouldn’t let Aunt be deceived? This…”
It would have been fine if she hadn’t mentioned this. At the mention of this, Mother Xie’s face, which had always been radiant, lost its light. It was rare for her to hold back her anger. “Your aunt’s attitude was very firm this time. Your father and I went to look for her, but we didn’t even get to see her.”
They went to look for Xie Tingyun the moment they received the invitation. However, Xie Tingyun didn’t see them. Not only were they rejected, but they were also left hanging by the old butler for half an hour.
In the end, Nan Tianyi came out to meet them.
However, Nan Tianyi was very straightforward.
Before they could explain their intentions, Nan Tianyi directly told them that the matter of Xie Tingyun acknowledging a goddaughter was already a sure thing. A shoo-in wouldn’t change her mind just because anyone wanted to intercede.
Mother Xie and the others had no choice but to return home. Only then did they call Xie Xinyao to come back and discuss countermeasures.
“I don’t know what that person said to your aunt. Your aunt is determined to acknowledge her as her goddaughter now. She won’t listen to anyone! I asked your Grandma to call her, but she still has the same attitude—she has to acknowledge that person!”
Xie Xinyao’s beautiful face finally changed. It turned slightly pale. She pinched her palms and asked, “Have you found out the identity of the person Aunt wants to recognize as her goddaughter?”
Mother Xie took a deep breath. She still looked as dignified and capable as Madam Xie should be. “I found out a little.”
“?” Xie Xinyao didn’t know what she meant.
If she found out, she found out.
If she didn’t find anything, she didn’t find anything.
What did she mean by finding out a little?
Mother Xie seemed to have seen through her thoughts. She pressed her forehead and said in frustration, “Your aunt is very tight-lipped and refuses to reveal anything. We can only investigate by ourselves. The other party has some ability. After investigating for a long time, we only found out that the people in the manor call her… Miss Qiao.”
“Qiao?” Xie Xinyao’s heart skipped a beat. She had a bad feeling. “That person’s surname is Qiao?”
She couldn’t wait to ask, “Mom, you don’t know her name?”
Mother Xie looked troubled and shook her head. “I didn’t find out. Your father and I only know that the other party’s surname is Qiao. How old is he? Where did he come from? We haven’t found out yet. However, we’re still investigating. We’ll find some useful information sooner or later.”
