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

"Shh, it hasn't been three months yet. Apart from my family, I've only told you." Xia Taozhi narrowed her eyes, "Because you are my best friend and I want to share it with you."

Cheng Kele's eyes heated up and he hugged her tightly: "Of course, don't worry, I will take good care of you."

Han Xiao on the side had a stinky face and said to Jiang Xuan: "Hey, can you take care of your wife? Don't keep holding on to other people's wives."

Jiang Xuan: "In our family, Coca-Cola has the final say. She doesn't care about me."

"Look at your potential."

Jiang Xuan glanced coldly: "You said you are in charge of Taotao in your family?"

At this time, Han Xiaoyan stopped and couldn't say anything.

Xia Lian heard the conversation between several young people and laughed happily.

She held Xia Taozhi in one hand and Cheng Keke in the other: "You two are good children, and you will do well in the future. Aunt Lian will announce some important news later, just wait and see."

Cheng Kele blinked: "Wow, I'm lucky today. I heard the good news shared by Aunt Lian just after I came back. I'm so happy."

Xia Lian glared at her angrily, and the next second she couldn't help but laugh: "You, what's so good about you, I never forgot about you."

"Oh, I'm not afraid that Aunt Lian won't love me anymore after having Taotao."

Xia Taozhi covered her mouth and chuckled: "Isn't it good that Aunt Lian likes me more? I like you more."

Cheng Kele immediately beamed: "This is good."

Several people were amused.

Xia Taozhi looked back and saw a certain man with a bad expression on his face, and immediately understood everything.

She turned her head and kissed his ear: "Fool, they all like you, but you are the only one who loves me."

Han Xiao was so excited by this move that her original depression disappeared.

He raised his thin lips, feeling satisfied and arrogant: "Well, that's pretty much it."

She could not laugh or cry.

He is really a childish man in love, but she loves his childishness the most.

Xia Lian led Xia Taozhi to the center of the dance floor.

The lights changed and focused on the two of them.

The music starts slowly and melodiously.

Everyone's attention turned here.

Xia Lian held the microphone and looked around with a smile: "Thank you very much for coming to my banquet today, because today's banquet is very important to me, and I have a message to tell you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a delicate and malicious voice came from the crowd.

"Aunt Lian, what's the news? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Xia Taozhi's thoughts moved slightly and she looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw everyone consciously getting out of the way, making Gui Yunrong's figure clearer and clearer.

This was the first time Xia Taozhi saw this woman in public after the fire.

For a moment, her eyes turned cold.

Gui Yunrong walked forward step by step and stopped two or three meters away from Xia Lian.

"Aunt Lian, why didn't you tell me that you held such a big banquet? Do you not want me to attend? Or... you have always been lukewarm to me, just because you don't like me?"

Her voice was very nice, extremely sweet, and a little bit aggrieved.

To Xia Taozhi's ears, this was the coldest sound in the world.

Xia Lian said calmly: "Because this is a banquet held in my own name, not in the name of the Xia family, it is normal not to invite you. You haven't recovered from the last incident, so you should go back and rest more . Your father has just passed away, I think... you are not in the mood to attend such a banquet."

This hits home.

Gui Yunrong gritted her teeth: "I am very sad that my father passed away, but... Aunt Lian, you are also a relative of mine. I cannot miss the opportunity to deepen my relationship with you."

Xia Lian's eyes were cold: "We're already here, so just have fun and don't make any trouble."

Gui Yunrong thought the other party would insist on letting her leave.

For this reason, she had already prepared a lot of drafts and was ready to speak.

Unexpectedly, Xia Lian didn't play her cards according to the rules and dismissed her with such a light sentence.

Gui Yunrong twitched her lips: "I'm still worried about Aunt Lian's body. Let me help you."

Xia Lian's side is the C position tonight, how can Xia Taozhi be allowed to occupy it all the time?

Before she could get close, the bodyguard arranged by Xia Lian appeared out of nowhere and blocked Gui Yunrong a few meters away.

"Aunt Lian, what are you..."

Xia Lian didn't look at her and said with a smile: "Let's continue the topic just now. I have good news to announce to you today. I have been alone for half my life and have no one to rely on. Only with your help and humility can I turn the company into a new one." Well done, I’m grateful.”

"I have decided to accept Miss Xia Taozhi as my goddaughter! From now on, I, Xia Lian, will be her mother."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience.

Gui Yunrong was even more shocked and speechless.

After all, she never expected it to be such a drama.

Xia Lian smiled tenderly at Xia Taozhi: "It just so happens that we are both named Xia, what a fate. Do you think we are Taotao?"

Xia Taozhi met her kind gaze and nodded: "Mom is right."

These words successfully stimulated Gui Yunrong's sensitive nerves.

She couldn't help but asked loudly: "Aunt Lian, why can she, an outsider, be so close to you, but I can't? I am your niece! My mother is Xia Rui, have you forgotten?"

Hearing his biological mother's name, Xia Taozhi almost retorted.

But Xia Lian took the lead: "Even if you are my sister's daughter, you can't stop me from adopting other girls, right?"

"I...I was just too shocked and a little unbalanced."

Gui Yunrong calmed down instantly, and tears filled her aggrieved eyes.

"There's nothing unbalanced, Miss Gui. There are some things that don't belong to you. Don't force it. You are fine now. With the title of daughter of the Xia family and half of the Gui family's property, you are already better than others in Sichuan City. Miss Qianjin is much better."

Xia Lian said coldly, "Actually, there is also a fate between people."

"Taotao and I have known each other for a long time. I fell in love with her at first sight at that time. Taotao is a sensible, well-behaved, knowledgeable and smart child. I like her very much."

"This decision is the result of my careful consideration. I invite you all here today to share my joy. I am not asking for your opinion. Do you understand?"

As she spoke, her eyes became colder and colder.

Everyone present with eyes could tell that Xia Lian didn't like Gui Yunrong, and the disgust was almost written on her face.

Gui Yunrong gritted her teeth and dug her fingertips into her palms, almost bleeding.

She still held back forcefully.

Blinking away the tears in her eyes, she smiled: "My aunt is right, I was a little jealous just now, and I felt uncomfortable when I thought that another girl wanted to separate my aunt's love from me. But I understand now, wouldn’t it be better to have one more person to care about my aunt? I can be good sisters with Taotao."
