After receiving the certificate, she was pinched and doted on by the wealthy heir.

"I was just wondering where you, little girl, were, but it turns out you are a latecomer."

Mr. Zhou pointed at Luo Yingqiao and laughed loudly, "Where is your old man?"

"My grandfather has not been in good health recently, but he said that since it is my old man's birthday, he has to come despite all the difficulties. I will come to fight at noon, and he will come to have a drink with you in the evening. "

Luo Yingqiao smiled like a flower, and her words made Mr. Zhou very happy.

Xia Taozhi watched this scene with interest.

Comparatively speaking, Luo Yingqiao seems to be more loved than Zhou Xi'er, more like the eldest lady of the Zhou family.

Luo Yingqiao turned her face and blinked at Xia Taozhi.

She immediately imitated the other person's appearance and blinked twice.

After the greetings, Luo Yingqiao finally took the time to sit next to Xia Taozhi: "What happened to Coke?"

Xia Taozhi paused slightly and nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Luo Yingqiao was a little anxious, "I only found out after seeing the revelations on the Internet on the way here. Who is that Guo Qian? Why are you throwing dirty water on Coke like this?"

She briefly told what happened to Cheng Keke, and her eyebrows furrowed involuntarily: "Fortunately, Keke is fine. He will be able to go home after a few days of rest in the hospital."

"Hmph, there are such old people everywhere. They bully little girls just because they have been in the industry a few years ago and have some resources and connections. What are you going to do?"

Luo Yingqiao was indignant, "If you need my help, just ask!"

"We'll wait until Coke gets better first, don't worry." Xia Taozhi had already thought of a way to deal with it.

"Okay, listen to you."

Luo Yingqiao simply sat next to Xia Taozhi.

Han Xiao's eyes were as cold as lightning, and she resisted.

As long as you can sit and chat with Xia Taozhi, it doesn't matter if you get glared at by Han Xiao a few times?

"I'm sorry, I didn't accompany you to your charity dinner yesterday." She didn't notice the displeasure of the man next to her at all.

"It doesn't matter, Coca-Cola is more important. It's just... next time something happens, you have to tell me as soon as possible. I want to recruit you all into my employ. I can't miss such a good opportunity."

Listening to Luo Yingqiao's half-joking joke, she couldn't help but curl her lips.

While they were chatting, Zhou Xier's graceful figure was walking among the crowd, looking like the hostess of the Zhou family.

Luo Yingqiao shook her head with a sneer.

"What?" Xia Taozhi saw her disdain and asked curiously.

"What do you think Zhou Xi'er is like now?" Luo Yingqiao asked.

"Like a butler."

She blurted out, and the man next to her couldn't help but chuckle softly after she finished speaking, causing her to glare hard at him - why are you laughing?

The corners of Han Xiao's mouth were still curved, and he didn't care at all about the cute look of someone showing his teeth and waving his claws like a kitten.

Luo Yingqiao nodded appreciatively: "Incisive, it got to the point right away."

She lowered her voice and pulled Xia Taozhi to whisper, "Actually, Zhou Xi'er is not the Zhou family's biological child at all, she was adopted."

Then, she looked at Xia Taozhi's widened eyes with satisfaction and continued to gossip.

"At first, Zhou Xi'er's adoptive mother had been married for many years and failed to get pregnant, so she brought back a child without a father and mother from the countryside. This child was Zhou Xi'er. She raised the child until she was three or four years old. Her adoptive mother suddenly became pregnant again and gave birth at the age of 40. I gave birth to my youngest son, who is now the heir who is being vigorously cultivated by Mr. Zhou."

Luo Yingqiao said with a hint of pity in her tone, "Actually, the Zhou family treats Zhou Xi'er very well. When she entered the industry, Mr. Zhou spent money to pave the way for her and bought countless resources. However, she is not the Zhou family after all. It is impossible to compare her flesh and blood with her brother."

Xia Taozhi lowered her eyelids: "She is very lucky."

"you do not say."

To be adopted by a wealthy family in Sichuan City, and to transform from an orphan without a father and mother to a high-ranking young lady, I don't know how many people would be envious of her because of these two status changes.

However, judging from Zhou Xi'er's performance today, she might not be willing to do this...

In this way, she would have a motive to approach Han Xiao.

If an adopted daughter could be together with Han Xiao, or even get married and become husband and wife, it would be beneficial to Zhou Xi'er without any harm.

Xia Taozhi was confused for a while.

Han Xiao noticed something was wrong with her expression and poked her with his arm: "What are you doing?"

"No." She shook her head, "I just feel that I seem to have blocked the way of many famous girls in the city. Many people want to marry you. You are so popular."

Han Xiao:......

The man cleared his throat uncomfortably, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's good that you know."

And she... is just a fake Mrs. Han, and she will have to give up this position sooner or later.Thinking about it now will only increase your worries.

She shook her head gently to get rid of these distracting thoughts from her mind.

The birthday banquet had begun, and Xia Taozhi sat obediently in her seat, eating and drinking as she should, without worrying at all.

There were busy people on both sides of her, and a wave of guests came to greet her, making the scene noisy.

After a while, she felt dizzy and got up to go to the bathroom.

The Zhou family's green manor was too big, and the villas inside were also like a maze. Xia Taozhi walked in the wrong direction when she came out of the bathroom and wound up in a strange place.

She glanced out the window and saw that the banquet was still going on not far away.

After locking the direction, she hurriedly turned back the way she came. When she passed an ajar door, she heard an ambiguous sound inside.

Looking back subconsciously, there were two people hugging each other in the crack of the door.

"Is Zhou Xi'er really planning to do this?" A man's voice spoke.

"Hmph, of course. If she doesn't hook up with Han Xiao, she will always be stepped on. Although it is a bad idea to make rice before cooking, it can still be effective as long as it is used properly."

The other one has a delicate female voice.

They are talking about Han Xiao.

Xia Taozhi couldn't help but tighten her breathing, and slowly approached, hoping to listen more carefully.

"I heard that Han Xiao is already married."

"So what? Didn't he bring a little girlfriend here today? It's just right. Use this matter to put pressure on Han Xiao. Either he will give up the land, or he will become a member of our Zhou family."

The woman laughed like a poisonous snake.

Xia Taozhi held her breath and slowly left here step by step.

Just as he reached the turning staircase, Zhou Xier suddenly came towards him: "What are you doing here?"

"I'm lost." She calmed down.

"I've never seen the big world, and I can get lost in other people's homes."

Before she could finish her words, she looked behind Xia Taozhi involuntarily, and then her pupils suddenly tightened.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Taozhi heard the man's voice: "Sister, she should have heard our conversation just now. We cannot let her return to Han Xiao."

In a flash of lightning, Xia Taozhi rushed downstairs!

Before she reached the next level of stairs, several bodyguards in black suddenly appeared in front of her, and then she was locked into the basement.
