Lin Ru turned pale. He looked at Xi Luoxian and only wanted to concoct an excuse to finish it, but when he saw Xi Luoxian's eyes, he knew he couldn't lie to his long-time close friend. Fortunately, there aren't many people here right now. If his friend knew the difficulty, he should be able to understand it. At this thought, Lin Ru said in a low voice, "There are too many people here. Let's find the right place, sit down and talk.”

Xi Luoxian had always been a reasonable person, and she knew that even though Lin Ru was somewhat competitive, she had been sincere to him for many years. Besides, he always thought of her as a good friend. Otherwise, he would not have promised his son's engagement to a girl still in the womb.

He nodded and said, "There's a cafe upstairs. Let's go there."

Xiao Jinning, who was deathly pale, stretched out her hand to grab Liu Chengyu's hand, but the latter raised his hand to avoid his touch. Liu Chengyu stepped out with a carefree heart. Now he has made the first move. During the time he made Lin Ru acknowledge Xiao Rou, the person he was engaged to was Xiao Rou, and then it would be perfectly justified for him to stand next to the attractive girl.

Thinking of this, Liu Chengyu smiled.

Xiao Jinning became paler after being rejected by Liu Chengyu, while Lin Ru was so angry that she had no interest in taking care of Xiao Jinning. He walked out of the banquet hall with Xi Luoxian, and the dazed Xiao Hongyi was taken away from the banquet hall by Liu Gongghua. So only Xiao Jinning was left standing in the middle of the crowd ...

"What's going on here? I saw Liu Chengyu ignoring Superstar Xiao just now."

"Yes, they don't look right. Is Liu Chengyu going to cancel his engagement to Xiao Jinning?"

"Listen, Superstar Xiao cried out in sadness. I think your guess is right. This news will make headlines tomorrow, right?"

There were also a few young stars at the banquet, some of whom were once bullied by Xiao Jinning. Now, seeing Xiao Jinning cry, they talked to each other excitedly. "Will Xiao Jinning still be so presumptuous without President Liu Chengyu's protection?"

"Even without the protection of the Liu Family, she was still the daughter of the Xiao Family. I think he'll still be presumptuous."

"I just heard the big news ..."

Xiao Jinning walked out, dragged her feet, left the sound of the discussion and pretended not to hear it, but one could tell from her clenched hands that she had…

'Xiao Rou, why are you back?'

He now had a very strong premonition that what he had been guarding with great difficulty would be lost... Just because the***** Xiao Rou was back. He'll take everything from her. First was his grandfather, then his uncle, aunt, and cousin, and now he was going to take Chengyu away from him!

A touch of hatred flashed in Xiao Rou's eyes, and she could barely maintain the pitiful yet beautiful expression on her face. 'Xiao Rou, if I lose it, you can't get it either. I'll make you regret coming back. I'll definitely make you regret coming back!'

When Xiao Jinning arrived at the cafe, the others had already found a seat and sat down. It seemed that Lin Ru had told him the entire story. Xi Luoxian looked furious. She glared at Lin Ru and said, "Are you really a mother? You can't even tell that your child is mistaken for someone else's?"

Lin Ru shook her head. Tears flowed from her eyes, and she said in a low voice, "Jinning had an accident when she was ten years old and needed a blood transfusion. You know, my blood type is AB, so is Jinning, so I never doubted it. If she's not my daughter, why is her blood type also AB? When I found out Jinning wasn't my daughter, I was very surprised."

But at that moment, what he thought the most about was his own daughter. Where's his daughter if she's not next to him? While searching for her, she thought of how to compensate her, but why did she feel ashamed of herself finally finding him? No, he's not ashamed of her. He was simply unable to deal with it, unable to face the fact that his daughter had become like that. Her daughter should be graceful and gentle instead of being so cowardly and having sticky fingers.

"After all, you shouldn't have kicked your daughter out after she returned home. Don't you know such a child is the most vulnerable?" Xi Luoxian looked at Lin Ru helplessly. "It wasn't easy for him to survive in such a harsh environment. What else do you expect from him? If I were you, I would be so grateful that my own daughter made it back to me. How can you still blame him? Does he want to be like that?"

Lin Ru shook her head, maybe she did not agree with Xi Luoxian's words, or maybe she did not listen at all.

Liu Chengyu and the others also pouted Listening to Xi Luoxian, Xiao Jinning continued to curse Xi Luoxian in his heart for meddling in the affairs of others, but he could only wait on the spot, he said, not dare to walk.

Looking at Lin Ru, Xi Luoxian said with a frown, "Yes, she herself did not want to be like that. She became like that because she had a careless mother. You can't blame anyone but yourself. You lost your own daughter because you were too careless. You can't blame the kid!"

"What can I do?" Lin Ru looked at Xi Luoxian, sobbing. "I hate myself, but what am I supposed to do? Admit her as my daughter and bring her back? Tell people she's my daughter? If I did this, how many would laugh at me? You know that many people have been waiting to see us end up miserable since I married Xiao Hongyi!”

"They are unimportant people. Don't mind what they say. You just need to keep your daughter by your side. All you have to do is make up for the loss of her maternal love and affection for over twenty years."

Hearing Xi Luoxian's words, Xiao Hongyi almost cried and could not help but think: am I really too selfish? At that time, he ...

Thinking of this, Xiao Hongyi hugged Lin Ru and said in a low voice, "Ah Ru, let's find Rourou and apologize to her. Looks like we shouldn't treat him like that."

"What about the engagement?" Liu Chengyu asked, relieved to hear Xiao Hongyi's words, "What about my engagement to your daughter?"

"Auntie, Uncle, who is engaged to me is your real daughter, not someone else," Liu Chengyu said.
