Xu Zhi turned around and saw that Xu Anran’s banquet hall was full of guests. He couldn’t help but frown.

If it weren’t for the sake of the Yin family and Gu Zheng, he wouldn’t have come to attend Qiao Xi’s birthday party. Now, even if there was no one in the banquet hall, he couldn’t leave just like that. He asked with slight impatience, “Who’s here?”

The butler immediately said, “The Chen family is here.”

Xu Zhi’s expression softened a little. “Finally, someone is here. Xi Xi won’t be too embarrassed this way. Actually, it doesn’t matter if she loses. As long as she knows her place, she’s still the daughter of my Xu family. The Chen family and my Xu family have a good relationship. Arrange for them to sit down at a table.”

Xu Zhi was afraid that Gu Zheng would take his anger out on him because of this matter, so it was better to have some people come than no one at all.

After all the guests on Qiao Xi’s side were seated, he would go celebrate Anran’s birthday with her.

At this moment, the butler suddenly said in embarrassment, “Sir, the Chen family only sent someone to deliver the gift. They’ve gone to Eldest Miss’ banquet hall.”

Qiao Xi’s expression was indifferent.

Xu Zhi’s face was gloomy, and he suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. They were both his daughters, but why was there such a huge gap between them? Didn’t Qiao Xi have any friends who could help her?

At this moment, another family came in with a gift in their hands. “I’m really sorry, Mr. Xu. My daughter is good friends with Miss Anran. She insisted that we attend Miss Anran’s birthday party, so…”

Xu Zhi felt somewhat depressed in his heart. Was he wrong? He should have chosen Anran from the very beginning. How could Qiao Xi compare to Anran?

Then, a few other families came. They all sent gifts and apologized before going to Xu Anran’s banquet hall.

Xu Zhi frowned. “Even if President Gu and the Yin family continue to blame me, I’ll have something to retort with. I gave Xi Xi a chance, but she failed to live up to my expectations. They can’t blame me for this!

“I’m staying with Xi Xi in her banquet hall, but she doesn’t have a single friend. Forget it, there’s no point in me staying here. Let’s go look for Anran!”

The butler frowned and felt that Qiao Xi was being wronged.

The two daughters could not be compared to each other. Xu Anran had attended all kinds of banquets since she was young and befriended the daughters of noble families. As for Qiao Xi, she had never shown her face in the upper-class society, so how could she compare to Xu Anran? In the end, it was just the Xu couple favoring their adopted daughter.

Xu Zhi stood up and left, but the butler stood still.

It was the birthday of the daughter of the Xu family. How could not a single person from the Xu family be present?

The butler and Nanny Li walked up to Qiao Xi. “Miss, it’s fine if no one comes. Please don’t be angry. If you don’t mind, what do you think of Nanny Li and I staying?”

Qiao Xi smiled. “Of course.”

…

When they saw Xu Zhi walking over from the banquet hall on the other side, Xu Anran and Xia Yunlou revealed proud smiles.

Xia Yunlou said coquettishly, “Hubby, I thought you weren’t coming! Anran, I knew that your father still cared about you. He just didn’t want Qiao Xi to lose too badly.”

Xu Anran pretended to be worried. “But what about my sister? If you come over to my side, there won’t be anyone on her side? Our relationship isn’t good to begin with. Now, she’ll hate me even more.”

Xu Zhi was a little irritated in his heart. His mood only improved a little when he saw the hall full of guests and heard the cheerful laughter. He was somewhat regretful. He shouldn’t have gone to Qiao Xi’s side just now. He wouldn’t have been so upset if he had come directly to Anran’s side.

“Anran, don’t think too much about it. It’s her own fault. It has nothing to do with you!”

When everyone heard Xu Zhi’s words, they could not help but turn around and look at the banquet hall over there.

“Look, they’re both the daughters of the Xu family, but not a single guest went to that lady’s birthday party!”

“Xu Anran is a top socialite. She’s beautiful and popular. Of course, the guests will choose to attend her birthday party. Actually, if it weren’t for the fact that the two of them insisted on celebrating their birthdays together, I would’ve attended Qiao Xi’s birthday party on the account that she’s the biological daughter of the Xu couple.”

“But if we have to choose between the two of them, of course, we have to come to Xu Anran’s side.”

“Biological? Tsk tsk… There’s nothing much to it!”
