Reborn as a Mortal Heiress Pampered by Big Shots-Chapter 250 - 219 Jiang’s happiness and his name is Shen Zhixi_2

Kung fu does not betray those with heart; he finally understood the interpersonal relationships here. The genius baby he had admired was called Xia Ye, a beloved daughter of the Xia Family.

And the granddaughter that Elder Mrs. Qiao insisted he meet last time, due to the ancestral friendship between the two families, was another daughter of the Xia Family...

Mr. Tan’s somewhat solemn gaze slowly swept over Xia Yourong and settled on Qiao Yufen.

After a moment of silence, he slightly rose and took a seat next to Qiao Yufen.

Seeing him willingly sit next to her, Qiao Yufen’s expression fell into surprise.

After all, the last time had been so stiff, and the words Mr. Tan had last said still made her feel like her face was burning when she thought about them.

This time, she did not dare meet his gaze fully, and tried to appear calm as she glanced over and asked indifferently, "I wonder why Mr. Tan is attending our Xia Family’s private banquet today?"

The purpose of Presidents Chen and Chou’s visit was exceedingly clear, but as for why Mr. Tan had returned today, the crowd truly did not know.

Mr. Tan’s tone was not very pleasant, but compared to last time when he was infuriated by Xia Yourong, it had eased a lot: "Of course, it’s for your granddaughter."

Qiao Yufen’s tone grew even more perplexed, "My granddaughter? Didn’t you demean her as worthless last time? What, changed your mind?"

Just as a glimmer of hope ignited in Xia Yourong, she then heard Mr. Tan coldly huff, "I’m certainly not talking about your eldest granddaughter..."

Qiao Yufen furrowed her brows and looked at him.

Mr. Tan, facing her gaze, calmly said, "It’s your younger granddaughter, Xia Ye."

At this statement, not only was Qiao Yufen stunned, but the other guests at the tables also fell silent.

Almost without thinking, Qiao Yufen blurted out, "Yeye? You are a master of the Ancient Flute World, but she doesn’t even play the ancient flute. What are you here for then?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Tan’s gaze turned strange, thick with displeasure and disdain: "What? You didn’t know your younger granddaughter can play the ancient flute?"

She had thought sitting together might draw out some insider news.

Qiao Yufen was instantly choked up.

Just as Xia Yuzheng was about to ask ’what, Yeye can actually play the ancient flute?’ he promptly shut his mouth upon seeing her reaction.

Mr. Tan, always sharp, now spoke with an extremely stern tone: "Your granddaughter not only can play, but also possesses an extremely high talent. I only heard her once in the suburbs, and I have not been able to forget it to this day. Yet here you are, a grandmother so focused on your eldest granddaughter, completely unaware of your younger granddaughter’s skills with the ancient flute. It’s quite unheard of."

Continuing, not minding how upset Qiao Yufen looked, he directly addressed Xia Yuzheng: "Mr. Xia, actually, I had already spoken to your beloved daughter last time, sincerely wishing to take her as my pupil. However, coming to the banquet today I realized why your beloved daughter refused me. Not only does she possess a great talent for the ancient flute, but her academic performance is also outstanding. I hope Mr. Xia will help persuade her. I am truly sincere in wanting to take your beloved daughter as my pupil, and I will definitely treat her well..."

Logically, after Mr. Tan had spoken so, Xia Yuzheng should have immediately stood up to respond, but—

He was completely bewildered, watching Mr. Tan speak each word clearly, each word he could understand, but when strung together, somehow it felt somewhat... confusing??

The other guests sitting there were also unable for a long time to come back to their senses.

The master of the Ancient Flute World, Mr. Tan... wanted to take Xia Ye as a pupil?

Such a rare opportunity... and Xia Ye had rejected it?!

It took a good while before Xia Yuzheng finally caught on and responded with a rather vague politeness, "Alright, alright, it’s my young daughter’s fault for not appreciating Mr. Tan’s kind intention, but don’t worry, Mr. Tan, I will definitely persuade her well."

Xia Yourong, nearly mad with jealousy, realized that Mr. Tan indeed knew the flute sound was Xia Ye’s.

Everyone was discussing Xia Ye; her presence at the dinner had become completely overshadowed by Xia Ye!

She had hoped to use the opportunity to apologize to Elder Mrs. Jiang, but Elder Mrs. Jiang had not spoken a word to her or her grandmother throughout the entire event, not even glancing in their direction.

Just a few months ago, Xia Ye was the daughter who had shamed the Xia Family after being picked up from outside, and all the focus had been on herself, yet just one semester later... how had everything changed so much?!

**

Jiang Xuan had stayed with Xu He and the three Xia brothers in the family area, not going over to the student area to find Xia Ye.

Students should be with their peers to have the most fun.

Jiang Xuan hadn’t seen Xia Ye for several days, and even at today’s banquet, he hadn’t had the chance to talk much with her, which was indeed a pity.
