Chapter 925: Old Madam Yin’s Support
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Old Madam Xia looked at Qiao Xi with a vicious gaze. She did not look like the kind and caring Xia family matriarch in the slightest. Her tone was sharp and unkind. “Qiao Xi! You stole Mengyan’s engagement and Qingfeng Entertainment, yet you’re still unwilling to apologize! You’re a mistress. President Gu will despise you sooner or later!”
Hearing the old madam’s curses, everyone was slightly puzzled. Why did Qiao Xi’s grandmother hate her so much? Could it be that it was because she was scheming, so Old Madam Xia hated her?
For some reason, Xia Cheng felt uneasy in his heart. Every time he looked at Qiao Xi’s face, he would feel inexplicably nervous. He advised, “Xi Xi, although your grandmother is a little strict, it’s also for your own good. You stole Mengyan’s engagement. Actually, you’re the third party here. You should officially apologize to Mengyan. Mengyan is your cousin, so she’ll naturally forgive you.”
“Xia Cheng! How dare you bully my granddaughter?!”
At this moment, a dignified female voice came from outside the door, scaring everyone. Everyone hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice and saw Old Madam Yin wearing a wine-red suit. Her makeup was exquisite, and she exuded a noble aura.
The fifth young master of the Yin family, Yin Jinglin, helped Old Madam Yin in. Qiao Xi hurriedly went forward with a smile. “Grandma, Cousin, you’re here!”
Grandma? Cousin? Qiao Xi’s grandfather was Xia Cheng, so wasn’t her grandmother Old Madam Xia? Why did she call Old Madam Yin her grandmother?
A reporter who was bribed by the Xia family hurriedly criticized, “Mrs. Gu, Old Madam Xia only reprimanded you a few times, yet you’re already dissatisfied. Why do you have to call her ‘Grandma’ in front of so many people?!”
Some reporters who knew the truth glanced at him meaningfully. The reporter was still puzzled. Who was this Old Madam Yin? Why was everyone silent the moment she arrived?
Yin Lianxin was calm and arrogant. The moment she appeared, the entire venue seemed to grow quiet. Someone like Xia Cheng was not even worthy of carrying her shoes!
Yin Jinglin looked coldly at the reporter who had just spoken. “Are the requirements for being a reporter so low now? Can any Tom, Dick, or Harry be a reporter?”
The reporter’s face was livid as he gritted his teeth. “Mrs. Gu, please answer my question.”
“Is there a problem with my cousin calling her ‘Grandma’? Let me formally introduce you. The person beside me is the noble madam of the Yin family, Yin Lianxin. Everyone has heard of her, right?!”
Of course, everyone had heard of Old Madam Yin. Her name had already resounded throughout the entire Shengdu decades ago. She was the noblest daughter of the Yin family and the only female head of the Yin family in the past hundred years. She did things swiftly and decisively. Under her management, the Yin family was even more prosperous than before. Those who looked down on her in the past could not help but be convinced.
If Old Madam Yin was Qiao Xi’s grandmother, then was Qiao Xi’s mother Old Madam Yin’s daughter?
Yin Jinglin smiled as he looked at Qiao Xi. “Cousin, they’re so silly! They don’t even understand such a simple thing!”
Qiao Xi’s eyes were indifferent as she replied with a light smile, “Their IQ is too low. It’s really difficult to talk to people like that!”
“Haha!” Yin Jinglin could not help but laugh out loud. Then, he looked at Xia Cheng with a smile. “Oh! Grandpa! You’re here too! It’s been decades since we last met, right?”
Xia Cheng’s face was livid as he lowered his head and did not say anything. He finally knew why Qiao Xi was so calm. How could Gu Corporation not have invited the Yin family to such a grand banquet? With the Yin family backing Qiao Xi up, she would naturally be fearless.
Yin Jinglin had a gentle temperament. He was fair and clean-looking. He was not much different from a popular celebrity. The reporters all aimed their cameras at him. Then, they heard him say unhurriedly, “Grandpa, you don’t seem to want to see me! Actually, I understand. After all, I’ve never seen you since I was born. Cousin Mengyan grew up by your side, so you’re naturally close to her.”
Yin Jinglin actually called Xia Mengyan ‘Cousin’? What was their relationship?
The moment Old Madam Xia saw Yin Lianxin, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her angry face was filled with horror. She was afraid of Yin Lianxin, and it was a fear that came from her bones.
Xia Mengyan’s heart trembled. She had a bad feeling.
At this moment, Yin Lianxin slowly looked up and asked coldly, “It looks like the Xia family doesn’t want to see me!”
Xia Cheng’s face was ferocious, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. His expression was extremely ugly. “Yin Lianxin…”
