Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

"I didn't listen. I just agreed to it perfunctorily. I didn't intend to ask."

Xia Mingyuan raised his head and explained that he had no intention of asking about the heirloom.

His mother was killed by Song Wanyi, so how could he possibly listen to this vicious old woman?

"Qingqing, your father may not be very smart, but he has no bad intentions. His biggest flaw is indecision. This is your first meeting with him, so you don't know him very well. As time goes by, you will know what kind of person he is. I have business in the inland area, so I have to go there often. We are all blood relatives, so we should keep in touch more often. I also plan to let your two younger brothers go back to the inland area to attend college in the future!"

Jin Zhenzhu is really a very versatile person with good eloquence. Even though Xia Qingqing's attitude is cold, she is not affected. She still speaks with a smile on her face and makes her position clear, saying that she is not on the same side as Song Wanyi.

"Sister, I want to go to Fudan University. Can I come to you then?"

Xia Yunhao is an extrovert. He likes the eldest sister he met for the first time. She is prettier than a star and so capable. The old witch in the first room was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

From then on, the eldest sister became his idol!

Old Witch was the nickname he gave to Song Wanyi. He hated everyone in the first house. They always bullied his family, including the two sisters Xia Yunzhu and Xia Yunqi. They teamed up with others to bully their sister at school. They were so bad.

“Why not go to Tsinghua?”

Xia Qingqing asked back.

Tsinghua University is more famous, and many overseas people will choose Tsinghua University or Peking University first.

"I want to go back to Shanghai, that's my hometown!" Xia Yunhao said as a matter of course.

Xia Qingqing was a little surprised. She didn't expect that this adopted brother had such a strong attachment to his hometown.

Jin Zhenzhu smiled and said, "Both brothers like to eat local cuisine, so the family specially hired a local chef to cook to cater to their tastes."

Xia Yunxu smiled slightly and said, "I also want to try the snacks in the alleys that my father mentioned. I will go to Shanghai to eat them in the future."

He is the older brother and has a more stable temperament than his younger brother.

Xia Qingqing had a good impression of these two adopted brothers. They were handsome and had good personalities. Jin Zhenzhu had raised her two sons very well.

She looked at her step-sister Xia Yunzhi, who had not spoken a word until now, nor had she raised her head. The clothes she wore were all large and baggy, making her look even more bloated, and she did not have the vitality of an eighteen-year-old girl.

"Is Yunzhi in high school or college?"

Xia Qingqing asked.

Xia Yunzhi's body bounced as if she was startled. She raised her head and answered in a low voice, "The test is over."

"The exams are over. It depends on which university she will be admitted to. Now we are waiting for the notification."

Jin Zhenzhu explained for her daughter.

Before Xia Qingqing came here, she learned that the college entrance examination in Hong Kong City is different from that in the inland. In the inland, it is taken all at once, while in Hong Kong City it is taken successively, and it seems to end in May. From what Jin Zhenzhu said, Xia Yunzhi's results should not be very good.

She didn't ask any more questions. Xia Yunzhi was about to break down, and it was obvious that she didn't do well in the exam.

"Qingqing, this is for you."

Jin Zhenzhu took out a jewelry box and stuffed it into Xia Qingqing's hand. "No matter what, we are a family. Your father and I are the elders. I picked this necklace. I don't know if you like it. If you don't like the style, you can bring the invoice to exchange it for another style. I have already made an agreement with the jewelry store."

"Don't refuse. We can get along like friends. You can call me Auntie or Mrs. Jin if you want. Also, this soy sauce is made in-house. It must taste great. Eat it. Call me when you're done. I'll have someone send it over. Don't be shy about using something made in-house!"

Jin Zhenzhu took out a few bottles of soy sauce, saying they were products of her own company, and insisted that Xia Qingqing accept them.

Xia Qingqing really didn't want to accept it, but Jin Zhenzhu was too enthusiastic. Not only did she talk too much, but she was also very strong. She didn't stop talking and her hands kept pressing, so she didn't have a chance to refuse at all.

"Sister, can I come here to play with you in the future?" Xia Yunhao asked loudly.

Before Xia Qingqing could refuse, he happily muttered to himself: "It's settled, I'll come to play with you in the future, and I'll bring you delicious food!"

Xia Qingqing...

She hasn't agreed yet. Doesn't this family know how to read people's moods?

"Qingqing, you don't have to come out to see me off. Come home more often for dinner in the future!"

The family walked to the gate, and Jin Zhenzhu asked Xia Qingqing to go back.

Xia Qingqing...she didn't want to give it to him at all, she just wanted to return the necklace.

"Bye, call more often!" Jin Zhenzhu.

"Sister, I'll come and play with you next time!" Xia Yunhao.

The car drove away, and Xia Qingqing's ears were still echoing with the voices of the mother and son.

She looked down at the bag of soy sauce and the necklace in her hand, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

This mother and son are really good at socializing. No wonder Xia Dechang has such an indescribable expression.

When she opened the jewelry box, she found a ruby ​​necklace from a big brand. The workmanship was very delicate and the price was quite high. There was also an invoice in the jewelry box. Jin Zhenzhu was very thoughtful and even put a small note in the jewelry box, saying that if she was not satisfied with the style or had any other problems, she could go to the store to exchange it.

Xia Qingqing suddenly became curious as to why Song Wanyi would marry such a wonderful person for her stepfather.

To be honest, except for her appearance, Jin Zhenzhu is far better than Xia Mingyuan in every other aspect.

There are thousands of beautiful faces, but only one interesting soul can be found among a million. Xia Mingyuan is so lucky to marry... no, to marry Jin Zhenzhu.

In fact, she didn't know that Song Wanyi was regretting it so much now.

At first, she intended to humiliate Xia Mingyuan. Jin Zhenzhu was of ordinary appearance and fat. She was three years older than Xia Mingyuan. At that time, her mother's family was just a soy sauce shop, which had not grown into a big or strong family and the family financial situation was not rich.

This marriage was initiated by the Jin family. To be precise, it was Jin Zhenzhu herself who fell in love with Xia Mingyuan, so she asked a matchmaker to propose to Song Wanyi.

Jin Zhenzhu was simply attracted by Xia Mingyuan's looks and his lack of independent thinking. She wanted to marry a man who was handsome, had a good figure, and was obedient.

First, it is easy to control, and second, it can improve the genes of the next generation.

As it turned out, her choice was very wise. Brother Xia Yunxu inherited his father's handsome looks, and although his daughter was a little ordinary, she was taller than her.

Moreover, over the years, Xia Mingyuan had not had any bad intentions and was very obedient in front of her. Jin Zhenzhu also expanded her mother's small workshop into the largest soy sauce factory in Gangcheng.

Her husband is handsome and obedient, she has a son and a daughter, and she also has a career. Those wealthy daughters who once laughed at Jin Zhenzhu are now jealous to the point of having red eyes.

The one who regretted the most was Song Wanyi. If she had known that Jin Zhenzhu was so capable, she would definitely not have agreed to this marriage.

The next day, Xia Qingqing changed into a purple cheongsam, wore a complete set of jade jewelry, and attended the banquet hosted by Xia Dechang. The Jiang family, the Xiao family, and the Lang family all attended, as did almost half of the wealthy families in Hong Kong City.
