Seeing his daughter standing in front of Chen Xuan, Zhao Biao couldn't stop slapping her.
But his expression became even more angry, and he snorted: "Okay, since we raised you, you have turned your arms outward, right? If I had known, I wouldn't have accepted you as my daughter!"
Zhao Biao's words were so serious that even his wife's complexion changed.
When Zhao Xingcai heard this, her heart ached even more, and she shed two tears.
She was given to Zhao Biao's family by Feng Yue's parents when she was a baby. Although Zhao Biao and his wife hoped that their child would become a successful child, they had too high hopes for Zhao Xingcai. They dreamed of becoming a big star in China through Zhao Xingcai, allowing them to reach the sky in one step and escape from a poor family.
This ignores Zhao Xingcai's personal feelings.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Xingcai is rebellious.
Although Zhao Xingcai likes to sing and dance and wants to embark on the road to stardom, she doesn't like to be led by others. That feeling makes her think of being sent away by her biological parents.
To a certain extent, Zhao Xingcai is a child who lacks love. Her biological parents gave her away, while her adoptive parents hope to make money and become famous through her so that she will no longer be looked down upon by their own family.
Chen Xuan secretly shook Zhao Xingcai's hand to comfort her, and then said, "Uncle Zhao, since you regard Xingcai as your daughter, please respect her choice."
"Respect her choice? Do we have a choice then? You kid, you have no idea how serious the consequences of disobeying the Mu family, the first family in the provincial capital, are!"
Although he saw his daughter crying, Zhao Biao knew that now was not the time to feel sorry for her daughter.
"Xingcai, be obedient and go to the Mu family's cocktail party. Otherwise, your mother and I might not be able to stay in the Zhao family anymore, regardless of whether you are our daughter or not! Do you want to see us driven back to Baishui Town to raise pigs?"
"Dad, my daughter has made up her mind. I will never participate in any concubine selection! If you are driven back to raise pigs, my daughter will accompany you!" Zhao Xingcai bit her lips and said resolutely.
Seeing how determined she was, Chen Xuan seemed to see a bit of Feng Yue's shadow.
Feng Yue's infatuation for him was also so determined.
But when Zhao Biao heard this, he was completely disappointed. He shook his head and said, "Xingcai, your parents are telling you now that we still have room for negotiation, but you don't even listen to your parents.
I can only hand you over to the elders of the family!"
"Dad, no matter who tries to persuade me, I will never change my mind!" When Zhao Xingcai said this, her pink nails almost dug into Chen Xuan's arm flesh, and she could clearly feel that she was very nervous.
Chen Xuan thought to himself, it seems that Zhao Xingcai is very afraid of the family elders. When he heard that his father wanted to hand her over to the family elders, he was already scared, but he was just trying to be strong.
When Zhao Biao saw his daughter's stubborn words, he shook his head and walked out.
When Zhao Xingcai saw this, she hugged Chen Xuan's arm tightly. She knew what her father was doing and was hesitant to leave the family villa.
But looking at his mother's sad look, Zhao Xingcai didn't want to leave alone and his parents would be punished by the family.
In the end she decided to stay.
A few minutes later, Zhao Biao came back with an expressionless face and said coldly to his daughter: "Follow me to the family hall! Come with me, mother."
Zhao Xingcai knew that the moment that would determine her life's fate had come, and followed Zhao Biao out with her mother and Chen Xuan.
At this time, many people had gathered in the lobby of Zhao's villa.
In addition to the family elders, the young people have also returned from outside.
Zhao Xingcai's cousin Zhao Gang and cousin Zhao Qian were also among them.
Zhao Gang's expression was always serious, while Zhao Qian's mouth had a playful arc.
Chen Xuan glanced at the young disciples of the Zhao family and found that many of them looked like Zhao Qian, gloating about others' misfortune.
It seems that Zhao Xingcai's status as an adopted daughter is very disliked by the Zhao family.
Zhao Xingcai was too bright and made people jealous. On the other hand, if she were an ordinary girl with no outstanding talent, she would also be looked down upon by these young children of the Zhao family.
In any case, the stereotype of family background is still too deep.
This is also one of the factors that caused Zhao Xingcai to lack love and become rebellious.
Chen Xuan could only ask Zhao Xingcai to hold his arms tighter, after all, the little girl's only support now was him.
At this point, Zhao Biao and his wife have completely lost their right to speak.
The elders of the Zhao family were sitting in separate seats in the hall. When they saw Zhao Xingcai holding the arm of a strange boy, their faces all turned livid and their eyes were full of anger.
Sitting in the middle seat, Zhao Xingcai's uncle instantly darkened his face and said in a deep voice: "Xingcai, you are going to attend the Mu family cocktail party tonight, and now you have brought a man back? You are seriously damaging the family's reputation.
And interests! Cut off the relationship with this man immediately, and I won’t blame you!"
"Uncle, Chen Xuan is my boyfriend, and I will never leave him! Moreover, the Mu family has so many rich ladies to choose from tonight, and one missing me would be a big deal!" Zhao Xingcai said a well-thought-out rhetoric.
When the elders of the Zhao family heard Zhao Xingcai's words, they all shook their heads. This child was still too young, too naive, and immature.
Is it now a problem that the Mu family has no shortage of people to choose a concubine?
If Zhao Xingcai does not participate in the Mu family's concubine selection, it will be difficult for their Zhao family to further develop in the provincial capital.
On the contrary, if Zhao Xingcai is selected by Mu Cangyu, then the Zhao family will also follow suit.
Therefore, Zhao Xingcai alone has decided the fate of the entire Zhao family.
Zhao Xingcai's uncle's tone became stern and said: "Xingcai, you are too confused. If you have the honor to marry Young Master Mu, the Mu family will be our backer in the future, and our Zhao family can develop into a top family in the provincial capital; you
What can you get by following such a poor boy? Will you suffer with him?"
Following Uncle Zhao Xingcai's words, everyone in the Zhao family looked at Chen Xuan.
The elders' eyes were full of anger and disdain.
The young men looked down upon him with disdain, completely looking down on this boy who was ordinary in appearance, dress and temperament.
Through Chen Xuan's old sports coat, you can directly judge how poor Chen Xuan's family is. There is a huge gap between Chen Xuan's rich young masters and young ladies like them, who dress in bright clothes.
Feeling these strange looks, Chen Xuan didn't take it seriously. He was used to it.
In fact, Chen Xuan wears this sports coat all the time. He just thinks it fits well and is comfortable, and Chen Xuan is a man who has no interest in buying clothes.
After hearing what his uncle said about Chen Xuan and feeling that the family members were questioning Chen Xuan, Zhao Xingcai gritted his teeth and decided to reveal Chen Xuan's true identity.
"Actually, Chen Xuan is the leader of the underground world in our provincial capital. Even Jiang Tianhua must surrender to him!"
"What?"
Zhao Xingcai's words made everyone in the Zhao family look surprised.
