Chapter 375: Adopted Daughter

The guests also nodded their heads. What era was it now? Young people all dated freely. Su Yan didn’t like Xia Zijian. Even if he was a big shot in the business world, Xia Jiang couldn’t force anything.
Xia Jiang took in everyone’s expressions. He smiled faintly and said, “But, I personally really like Su Yan too much. So even if she doesn’t become my daughter-in-law, I am willing to acknowledge her as an adopted daughter. I just don’t know if I, Xia Jiang, can realize the dream of having a son and a daughter?”
As he said that, Xia Jiang fixed his gaze upon Su Yan, he even flashed her an amiable smile and said, “Of course, Miss Su need not be in a hurry to answer me immediately. Regarding acknowledging you as my goddaughter, I mean it from the bottom of my heart and I am not joking at all. So I hope that you can think about it carefully before you reply.”
Hearing that Xia Jiang was going to accept her as his goddaughter, Su Yan was completely stunned. No matter how intelligent she was, she wouldn’t have been able to guess that Xia Jiang would announce this matter at his birthday banquet. With her intelligence, she naturally knew Xia Jiang’s purpose. Not only was it to clear her name, but it was also to raise her status. It also allowed her to have an advantage in the business world in the future. Even if she didn’t agree to become Xia Jiang’s goddaughter, with Xia Jiang’s respect and support today, in the future, if anyone wanted to have dirty thoughts towards her, they would have to think about the consequences.
To be honest, Su Yan was very touched. Xia Jiang, whose eyes lit up with a kind smile, was like an elder who cared for her. Ever since her parents died in a car accident, she hadn’t felt this way for a long time.
Xia Jiang came over and patted her shoulder. “Girl, I heard that they specially prepared a six-layer cake for me. Do you want to cut the cake with me?”
Su Yan was even more touched. After Xia Jiang asked her a question, he immediately changed the topic. It was clear that he didn’t want to put her in a difficult position. He intended to give her time to think about this matter and once again help her solve the difficult problem. This feeling of being protected by others really warmed her heart.
Xia Jiang publicly expressed that he wanted to take Su Yan as his goddaughter. This was beyond everyone’s expectations. One second, Su Yan was looked down upon by everyone, but in the next second, she became the prettiest girl in the room. It would be a lie if the other socialites said that they weren’t envious. After all, the Xia family’s family business was huge. Not to mention being Xia Jiang’s goddaughter, even if she was just close to Xia Jiang, everyone in the business world would want to curry favor with her. Who wouldn’t like the feeling of having a big shot backing her?
She could postpone the matter of her goddaughter, but she had to agree to cut the cake. Otherwise, it would be too disrespectful. Moreover, Xia Jiang was so supportive of her, so how could she disappoint him?
Just like before, Su Yan held Xia Jiang’s arm and walked towards the cake. She said softly, “President Xia, don’t take what happened just now to heart. Today is your 66th birthday, and I didn’t even take it seriously.”

Xia Jiang laughed and said, “Su Yan, you’re really amazing. When I was your age, in terms of bearing and breadth of mindset, I definitely couldn’t reach your level. Zhou Man deliberately went to look for trouble with you, but you still managed to maintain your smile and calm the entire time. You’ve already won with your shrewdness.”
Su Yan smiled and said, “President Xia, you’re overpraising me. Actually, I’m not as good as you say. I’m not a saint, so I’ll remember what people scold me about. It’s just that I won’t say it out loud.”
Xia Jiang was stunned at first when he heard her evaluation of him. Then, he raised his head and laughed. He originally thought that Su Yan would say something dignified, but he didn’t expect that she would directly say what she thought in her heart and be able to face him directly. Su Yan wasn’t a hypocrite at all. She was too authentic. Seeing the two of them talking and laughing, the guests were all dumbfounded. They didn’t know what they were talking about. They just thought that Su Yan had a glib tongue, so she was able to make Xia Jiang happy.
Seeing that Su Yan had followed Xia Jiang to cut the cake, Lan Jian carried the wine and walked to Wei Zhou’s side. With a cold smile, he said, “Stop looking. Xia Jiang asked Su Yan to be his goddaughter. It was just a compromise. He acknowledged Su Yan as his goddaughter because he wanted to get closer to her. Then, he would find an opportunity to let her marry into the Xia family as his daughter-in-law.”
Wei Zhou’s expression was gloomy. Seeing that he didn’t speak, Lan Jian gently took a sip of red wine and said, “Ah Zhou, what do you think?”
Wei Zhou said in a deep voice, “I wonder how the boxing gym in Xiang City is like. Let’s go and take a look after the banquet?”

Lan Jian was speechless.
Su Yan held Xia Jiang’s hand and walked to the stage. Xia Jiang’s words just now had already pushed Su Yan to the center of attention. Even if Su Yan wanted to keep a low profile, she couldn’t.
