The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot novel Chapter 297

Chapter 297: 286 Boss Ying takes action, No.1 [2 updates]

A single sentence, spoken in an even tone, made Xiu Yan feel like her scalp was about to explode.

Under Old Master Xiu’s gaze, she felt her limbs turn so cold they were numb.

“How long has it been since I brought you and your mother back to the Xiu family?” Old Master Xiu looked at her coldly, “Four years. Look at these past four years, is there anything about you that’s worth cultivating for the Xiu family?”

Xiu Yan didn’t speak, her head lowered.

“You wanted to enter the entertainment industry, and I allowed it. Playing around isn’t unacceptable,” Old Master Xiu eased up slightly, then continued, “Which other heiresses from wealthy families would enter the entertainment industry? They run their own entertainment companies.”

...

“It’s not just about you being in the entertainment industry, but look at what people online have been saying about you recently?”

Old Master Xiu suddenly gripped the handles of his wheelchair, his expression darkening: “You represent the Xiu family; this is tarnishing our name.”

“Grandpa, I’m sorry,” Xiu Yan quickly admitted her fault, “Those people are just blindly following trends to smear me; it’s how the entertainment industry works, but there are areas where I’ve been wrong, and I will change them.”

“I’m just warning you,” Old Master Xiu waved his hand, not wanting to talk more with her, “If you don’t have anything worthwhile for the Xiu family to cultivate, I have other options.”

Who the other options were, went without saying.

Xiu Yan left with a pale face.

When Madam Xiu saw her come down, she hurriedly pulled her aside: “What did your grandfather say to you?”

“Nothing much,” Xiu Yan replied indifferently, “You should play less mahjong in the future.”

Before Xiu Yu could think about returning, she would have to get past this hurdle.

She had no intention of letting Xiu Yu return.

**

Verdant Middle School.

After recuperating, Ying Zijin returned to Class 19.

“Daddy Ying, Daddy Ying!” The younger brother ran over excitedly, “Daddy Ying, guess how much I scored in biology? 82!”

Out of a full score of 90, indeed 82 was a high score.

Ying Zijin looked up, and didn’t skimp on her praise: “Not bad.”

The younger brother ran off happily to boast to Jiang Ran.

Jiang Ran kicked him away with a foot.

Xiu Yu lay on her desk, her vitality drained, appearing listlessly ill.

Ying Zijin took out a piece of candy from her pocket and handed it to her: “Eat something sweet, it will improve your mood.”

Xiu Yu turned her head, accepted it, and unwrapped the candy to eat.

After a long, extended silence, Xiu Yu finally spoke, “Xiu Yan, she is my half-sister from the same father.”

Ying Zijin’s hand pausing on the bottle cap: “Half-sister?”

When she heard Teng Yunmeng mention that Xiu Yan was a young lady from the Xiu family, she started paying a bit more attention.

She hadn’t been keeping track, only knew that Xiu Yan belonged to the Xiu family.

“Yes, my mother was a socialite from a big wealthy family,” Xiu Yu nodded, “Not on the level of the Mu family or Nie family, but still second tier in the capital’s wealthy circles. As for Xiu Yan—”

She shrugged her shoulders, seeming indifferent: “Her mom climbed up the ranks as a mistress.”

Ying Zijin remained silent.

“Four years ago, my mom died of cancer, and my dad disappeared, his life or death unknown, and he still hasn’t been found,” Xiu Yu murmured, “They brought Xiu Yan back because her mom gave birth to a son, and my mom only had me.”

Ying Zijin was still silent.

Some families, indeed, still prefer sons to daughters.

“There’s some other complicated stuff, so I left the Xiu family,” Xiu Yu leaned back in her chair, looking at her hands, “I haven’t returned for four years, Daddy Ying, do you think I’m weak?”

“Not at all,” Ying Zijin replied, her gaze lowered and a light laugh, “I haven’t experienced what you have, so I won’t judge.”

“Daddy Ying, don’t worry,” Xiu Yu said seriously this time, “I don’t care, but if she bullies you, I will definitely go back.”

Ying Zijin yawned and raised an eyebrow slightly: “I didn’t realize my charm was so great.”

Xiu Yu: “…”

“That’s not what I meant,” she seemed baffled, “Who did you learn that from?”

Why did she suddenly become so flirtatious?

Just as Ying Zijin was about to answer, her phone rang.

She glanced at it and then got up to leave the classroom to answer the call.

The call was from Elder Zhong.

Ying Zijin leaned against the wall, her body relaxed, “Hello, Grandpa?”

“Zijin,” Elder Zhong’s voice was robust, “I was so happy to see you yesterday that I forgot about an important matter.”

Ying Zijin narrowed her eyes slightly and turned to the side, “Go ahead, I’m listening.”
