Chapter 296: 238 ancient women in the painting!_2

She was laughing, but gradually her smile fell.

The day he decided to adopt Xiaorong, he resolutely handed in his resignation.

Xu He and Xia Yuzheng both knew what he meant.

He wanted Xiaorong to stay comfortably in the Xia Family home, never knowing who her biological father was...

Xia Yuzheng and Xu He were moved as they remembered old times.

Xia Ye sat playing games nearby, her phone on silent.

It seemed like she wasn’t listening, but in fact, she heard everything.

When she was little, her favorite was Uncle Huang.

Qiao Yufen’s face, upon hearing this, could no longer be described as merely ugly.

She hadn’t expected that she, thinking herself supremely wise, had actually been played by Xu Qing and her daughter for over a decade!

Xia Yourong seemed as if her soul had been extracted, her gaze empty and lifeless.

She... the highly esteemed young lady of the Xia Family, was the daughter of a butler???

Qiao Yufen glanced at Xia Yourong and waved her hand at her own accompanying servant, "Take her away; I don’t want to see her again, and that Xu Qing as well..."

Seeing her genuinely upset, the servants hastily complied.

"Miss, my apologies," the servant said.

Xia Yourong initially didn’t want to leave, but seeing that no one in the room was willing to keep her, she complied with the servant’s effort to lead her out of the private room.

Knowing this would be the result... why had she insisted on uncovering her own background?!

After driving away the fake granddaughter, Qiao Yufen’s gaze unconsciously shifted to Xia Ye and Xu He.

She had always thought the obedient and sensible Xu Qing and her daughter, but in the end, they proved to be full of lies, vanity, and selfishness.

But looking again at Xu He and her daughter, whom she had always disliked...

The difference was clear.

Even though Xu He didn’t speak pleasing words, she had actually taken good care of everyone every time she stayed at the Xia Family’s home.

She also bore them three beautiful young masters, and one...

Looking again at Xia Ye, Qiao Yufen’s attitude was completely different from before.

It turned out that all along, she had only one granddaughter, Xia Ye.

Only Yeye was her biological granddaughter, the true blood of her son.

Somehow, Qiao Yufen suddenly found Yeye particularly lovely.

She surely inherited her son and daughter-in-law’s best traits and indeed was prettier than Xiaorong.

What had blinded her before? How had she failed to see this?

And Yeye was not only beautiful but also exceptionally talented: she topped the college entrance exams, played the ancient flute, and recently appeared on television.

As if suddenly enlightened, Qiao Yufen, with a complete 180-degree change in attitude, began to please, "Yeye, did you eat well today? Maybe Grandma can give you..."

"Mom," Xia Ye interrupted promptly, looking towards Xu He, "I want to go home."

"Ah," Xu He, taken aback, hastily pulled out a reason she had prepared earlier, "Mom, please excuse us, Yeye didn’t feel well this morning. I better take her home before she really catches a cold or fever, it wouldn’t be good if it spreads to you too..."

Had it been in the past, Qiao Yufen would undoubtedly have scoffed disdainfully.

But today, not only did she not mock them, she even showed concern: "A cold or fever? Oh no! That won’t do, hurry home and call the family doctor to have a good look at her!"

Xia Yuzheng, following Qiao Yufen’s words, said, "Xiaohe, if Yeye is feeling unwell, you should hurry and take her home. I’ll take Mom back to the old house."

Qiao Yufen nodded in agreement, "Yes, let’s do that."

Xu He and Xia Ye exchanged looks:...

This sudden warmth was indeed frightening.

Xu Qing left Xiaorong behind and changed her flight ticket to that very evening.

By the time Qiao Yufen and the others returned to the old house, Xu Qing had already taken her luggage and left.

The departure was utterly disgraceful.

In the days that followed, Xiaorong completely quieted down, acting crazy and not leaving her room as the school term approached.

Whenever a servant entered her room, they could hear her talking to herself: "I am the real lady, the genuine daughter of wealth! Nobody can deceive me!"

New students at Beijing University report on August 20, arriving over twenty days earlier than returning students.

The time prior is designed for students to adapt to the dormitory, get to know their roommates, and then participate in two weeks of military training.

In the days leading up to reporting, Xu He was busy preparing the things her daughter needed for starting school and the military training.

If she didn’t get everything ready, she could count on her daughter, that little scatterbrain, to show up on the first day totally unprepared.

Although Beijing University is not too far from the Xia Family home, students are required to stay on campus from Monday to Friday, only returning home on weekends.

Not being prepared in advance was certainly not an option.

At that moment, a large ivory white suitcase was spread out on the floor, with Xu He meticulously packing things inside one by one.
