"Xinran is also my daughter. Why can't she attend my birthday party?" Xia Mingda stood at the corner of the second floor, his face dark.
"Dad, she shouldn't go anyway!" Xia Wenjing pretended to be angry and huffed.
Xinran stood up, walked to the stairs, and helped Xia Mingda down, her expression calm and indifferent. It wasn't that Xia Wenyiyi and Xia Wenjing could stop her from attending her dad's party; she only cared about her dad's feelings... If her dad said he didn't mind, she would definitely go no matter what!
"Dad, it's not that we don't want Xinran to attend your birthday party, but this time her scandal involves a Celebrity. Those Tabloid Reporters will definitely not let her off the hook. If she attends the party, wouldn't that just bring her trouble?" Xia Wenyiyi said to Xia Mingda.
At this moment, Xia Wenyiyi showed a rare affection for Xinran...
"You all don't need to say anymore. I must see Xinran on my birthday; otherwise, I won't celebrate it!"
"Dad, Sisters are also doing this for your sake. I'm currently embroiled in a scandal; it might not be convenient..." This was Summer, and wasn't this the best time for her to mediate?
Dad would naturally protect her, and Xia Wenyiyi and Xia Wenjing couldn't refute that. Often, this was when she felt the most satisfied!
"Ranran, come upstairs with Dad. I have something to discuss with you."
"Okay, Dad..." Xinran helped Xia Mingda back upstairs. On the second floor, they happened to run into the aunt who had just walked out of a room. Xinran slightly nodded at her, only to receive a fierce glare in return.
After all these years, the aunt still couldn't let go. Perhaps any woman whose husband was taken away would feel this way, especially since she was a legitimate daughter now. The aunt should consider herself lucky that she hadn't secretly poisoned her...
"Ranran, Dad's health is getting worse each year. I might not be able to take care of you anymore... Over these years, I'm sorry for you!" Xia Mingda gently locked the study door and took Xinran's hand, speaking slowly.
"Dad, what are you talking about? What do you mean by feeling sorry? You haven't done anything wrong to me..." Xinran replied, her eyes slightly red.
"Pingping died young, and I was busy with work back then, often forgetting about you. I know your aunt hasn't treated you well, and the Wenyi sisters have always been hostile towards you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been so unwilling to move back in!"
"Dad, all of that is in the past. Besides, it was Mom who ruined Aunt's happiness, so it's only natural that Aunt and the Sisters would hate me. It's okay..." Xinran smiled lightly. Since stepping into the villa, she had been in a state of battle; at this moment, her heart finally felt at ease, and she even felt warm inside...
"Silly girl, you always swallow your bitterness alone..." Xia Mingda teased as he gently pinched his daughter's nose and continued, "I plan to leave 10% of the shares of Xia Sheng Group to you. After I'm gone, you won't have to struggle like this anymore. Being a star may seem glamorous on the outside, but I know how much hardship you've endured..."
"Dad, you're so annoying; you're making me want to cry..." Xinran said as she hugged Xia Mingda and murmured.
"My little girl is still the cutest!" Xia Mingda's eyes shone with kindness as he gently patted Xinran's shoulder.
"But Dad, I can't accept the shares. If you give me 10% of the shares, Aunt will be unhappy..." Xinran casually mentioned Aunt's unhappiness, but in reality, it would be more than just unhappiness; Aunt would likely go crazy. Her identity already made Aunt uneasy, and if she were to share in the inheritance, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Don't worry; Dad will talk to your aunt about it!"
——
That evening at the dinner table was as quiet as usual. At least Xinran knew that dinners with her present typically had little conversation. After dinner, just as she was about to leave, Aunt suddenly spoke up, saying she had a gift for her and wanted her to accompany her upstairs to get it.
Naturally surprised more than delighted, Xinran thought Aunt must have something she wanted to say. However, she obediently followed Aunt upstairs; she never went against Aunt's wishes even though Aunt had never shown her any kindness.
"Did your father tell you that he plans to give you part of the shares of Xia Sheng Group?" As soon as Xinran stepped into the room, Aunt slammed the door shut with a bang and asked straightforwardly.
"Does the aunt already know?" Xinran neither admitted nor denied it; she wouldn't be foolish enough to deliberately show off in front of the aunt.
Suddenly, a slap came out of nowhere. Xinran was caught off guard, and her face was harshly turned to the side...
