Mrs.Big Shot Turns the Tables

"When have I ever tattled?" And whom did I tattle about, to whom did I tattle? Lin Chuxia was completely baffled by Xie Jinya's words and found the whole situation utterly inexplicable.

"Keep pretending! Just keep pretending!" Xie Jinya's eyes brimmed with anger, "Wasn't it you who told your grandfather that you want to host a banquet and publicly reveal your identity to the media?"

This matter alone was enough to cause embarrassment, and now a banquet too, broadcasting it for all to know?

Xie Jinya was furious, "You, a failure, only got into some no-name, trashy university; what does that have to do with us, the An Family? When have we ever mistreated you? And you still dared to complain to your grandfather?!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuxia finally started to understand the situation.

It seems that today old Mr. An had also given Xie Jinya a call. Xie Jinya had taken flak from old Mr. An, so now she was venting her frustrations on her.

"Let me tell you, it's impossible for us to host a banquet to acknowledge your identity! You will go to the family estate with me tomorrow, and you'll explain to your grandfather yourself, saying you don't want to hold a banquet, got it?!"

Back when they first took this girl back home, old Mr. An wanted them to publish a statement in the newspaper declaring her as their child, and she wasn't willing, always finding excuses to drag it out. Not to mention now being asked to host a banquet to publically acknowledge her as her biological daughter, that was impossible!

In her life, she only has two children, and they are Mingyu and Mingzhu.

As for Lin Chuxia, agreeing to let her into the An Family was already her greatest concession!

If she behaved herself, she would indeed not be shortchanged in terms of financial support. Though it wouldn't compare to Mingyu and Mingzhu's, it would certainly be a hundred times better than her previous life!

Xie Jinya had been prejudiced against Lin Chuxia from the start and had never thought to understand this daughter of hers. Actually, if she had been willing to spend a little time on Lin Chuxia, she would have found that Lin Chuxia was not in need of money.

The clothes on Lin Chuxia's body, though not marked with any famous brand logos, were of excellent design and quality.

And Lin Chuxia's demeanor was different from the uncultured village girl she had pictured.

It was just that Xie Jinya had prejudged her with a tinted lens, so no matter how she looked at her, she always saw Lin Chuxia as wrong.

"If Grandfather wants to hold a banquet, naturally he has his reasons. How could I possibly persuade him as a younger member of the family?" Lin Chuxia didn't care about the banquet and, to be precise, she didn't care about the identity of Miss An at all.

It was just that the old man had her best interests at heart with his kind intentions, and she didn't want to refuse his goodwill.

Moreover, it was something she rightfully deserved.

Since Xie Jinya and An Guosheng had received her as their daughter, wasn't it only right to acknowledge her identity?

"Why couldn't you persuade him? If you hadn't been stirring things up, would your grandfather have suddenly called us to not only scold me and your father, but also to make such an absurd request?!"

Xie Jinya's frantic and agitated state was anything but graceful, lacking her usual poise as a lady in the presence of others.

"I've never made that request. Believe it or not, I've never spoken ill of you to Grandfather."

No matter what, Lin Chuxia felt that since it wasn't her fault, she had to explain. Otherwise, they would force this blame onto her.

Lin Chuxia's gaze shifted to An Guosheng who had been silent since he entered, eager to know his stance.
