Being A Shrew to My Ex-Husband After Our Divorce

Chapter 371 - Forbade Distant Marriage

As far as Su Yan could think of, Xia Jiang had asked her to accompany him because he wanted her to go out and refute all those groundless speculations and curses on the internet. Previously, during the interview, Xia Jiang had publicly expressed his love for her and encouraged his son, Xia Zijian, to pursue her. However, there were always people who wouldn't believe it. They even said that it was only because Young Master Xia had gone home and begged Xia Jiang that he had put in a few good words.

Su Yan held Xia Jiang's arm as they walked out of the elevator together. In any case, the two of them were considered father and daughter according to their age, so no one would misunderstand that the two of them had an ambiguous relationship. Moreover, by holding each other's arm like this, it could also show that the two of them had a very good relationship.

Xia Jiang had the traditions and inflexibility of the older generation. Although he was a legendary figure in the real estate industry, after his wife's death, he had never remarried. Moreover, there had never been any rumors about him. Looking at Xia Jiang, who looked dignified, Su Yan secretly admired him. It wasn't easy to achieve this.

Su Yan held Xia Jiang's arm as they walked into the banquet hall. When the old man appeared, the entire banquet hall instantly quieted down. Everyone looked at Su Yan and Xia Jiang, but the way they looked at Su Yan was a little strange. Xia Jiang brought Su Yan to attend his birthday banquet? What did this mean? It meant that Su Yan was very important in Xia Jiang's eyes. At the very least, he thought very highly of her, and the lies on the internet that had scolded Su Yan for shamelessly clinging to the rich and powerful families were also refuted. The people who were able to attend this birthday banquet, without exception, were all shrewd people. Just from this alone, they could see what Xia Jiang meant. In addition to what Xia Jiang had said during the interview, it meant that Xia Jiang was really not joking. He really wanted Su Yan to marry into the Xia family.

When he saw Su Yan appear with Xia Jiang's arm on her arm, Lan Jian was shocked. This scene was something he had never expected, thus, he turned to look at Wei Zhou. "Ah Zhou, what do you think Xia Jiang means? Don't tell me he really wants Su Yan to be his daughter-in-law?"

Without even needing him to say it, Wei Zhou's expression was already gloomy. A trending search for Su Yan and Xia Zijian was all over the internet, not to mention those photos. Lan Jian looked at them a few times, he still couldn't find any loopholes. The article was also very exaggerated, so no one could tell that it was fake.

Wei Zhou naturally saw the trending search too. Even before they boarded the plane, his expression was already dark and scary. Now that he saw Su Yan holding Xia Jiang's arm and appearing together, the news on the internet suddenly flashed through his mind like a movie. From the public interview to the special treatment now all meant one thing. Xia Jiang had really treated Su Yan as his "daughter-in-law".

As Xia Jiang's son, Xia Zijian was naturally busy during the birthday celebration. From the start of the banquet, he had been extremely busy. He had been greeting everyone on behalf of Xia Jiang. Now that the old man had come out, he could finally catch his breath. He went to Xia Jiang's side with the Xia family.

Along the way, the guests all came forward to congratulate Xia Jiang. For a moment, the banquet hall was filled with celebratory remarks. Finally, their gazes landed on Su Yan. A person around Xia Jiang's age said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Yo, Mr. Xia, are you here to show off your daughter-in-law?"

Glancing at Su Yan, Xia Jiang smiled and said, "Sigh, don't mention it. That son of mine is such a bum. Until now, he still hasn't managed to woo Miss Su. When I go back, I'll kick his ass!"

Hearing this, Xia Zijian had an idea, he continued, "Su Yan, look, my dad recognizes you a lot. I've had so many girlfriends, but none of them were good enough for him. Actually, you know what I'm thinking. Why don't you give me a chance?"

Su Yan turned to look at Xia Zijian, and the smile on her face remaining unchanged. "Then I'm afraid you won't have the chance. My parents have said since I was young that I'm their only precious daughter. They definitely won't allow me to marry far away."

If it was someone with an average EQ who was asked this question, they would probably be caught off guard and wouldn't know what to say. However, Xia Zijian's opponent was Su Yan, a woman with an extremely high eq. She had tactfully rejected him. Xia Zijian really wanted to give Su Yan a thumbs up. Her reaction was really quick. As expected of a woman that even his dad admired. Although Su Yan had rejected him, he did not take it seriously. After all, today was Xia Jiang's birthday. He and Su Yan's matter could be discussed later. However, Xia Jiang gave him a good start today. At least in terms of public opinion, he had too much of an advantage over Wei Zhou, her ex-husband.

Xia Jiang naturally heard the conversation between the two of them and gave Su Yan a thumbs up in his heart. Su Yan used her deceased parents as an excuse to tactfully reject Xia Zijian without making the Xia family look bad in front of the guests. It was indeed very impressive.
