For the first time, she felt like a fool in front of Xia Xiaonuan!

Xia Xiaonuan smiled and said, "By the way, didn’t you say you had something to tell me earlier? What is it you want to say?"

Xia Xinmei snapped back to reality, recalling the conversation between her father and mother.

"Although Xiaonuan isn’t our child, this child has been kind and sensible since she was little. I feel like I have a special bond with her," Mrs. Xia said with a smile.

Xia Zhennan also smiled, ingratiatingly saying, "Yes, I also like Xiaonuan. She feels just like our own child."

"However, Old Sir Nangong said she was the child of a comrade. I always felt that things were not that simple. Otherwise, why did Old Sir Nangong like Xiaonuan so much since she was little? Back then, when we wanted to adopt a child, Mr. Nangong entrusted Xiaonuan to us.

Later, he married Xiaonuan to the Crown Prince. I don’t know what the deal is," Mrs. Xia said worriedly.

Xia Zhennan hugged Mrs. Xia from behind and said, "Honey, who cares what’s going on? As long as Xiaonuan can earn the favor of Mr. Nangong, we’ll all be happy! Besides, marrying the Crown Prince is considered a blessing granted by fate."

Mrs. Xia nodded.

"Yes, I just hope Xiaonuan and the Crown Prince truly find happiness together for life."

That time Xia Xinmei returned home; she initially intended to go to the bathroom but accidentally overheard their conversation.

Although she had long known Xiaonuan was not Mr. Xia’s child, she was hearing for the first time that Xiaonuan was raised by Old Sir Nangong.

Old Sir Nangong’s affection for Xiaonuan must have a reason behind it!

At that time, Xia Xinmei was merely jealous of Xiaonuan’s good fortune, but later, she changed her thinking.

If Xiaonuan had merely earned Old Sir Nangong’s favor, it would be one thing. However, Old Sir Nangong’s love for her exceeds even that for his own granddaughter, which is quite odd.

Unless there is a hidden secret among them.

She thought Xiaonuan’s background could never be that simple. Maybe one day, it would become an uncrossable chasm between her and Young Master.

Originally, she came here today to reveal her true background because she is not the daughter of Xia Zhennan and Du Fengjun, so... she doesn’t have the right to inherit anything from the Xia Family.

Initially, she wanted to take back the inheritance.

However, the situation was suddenly disrupted by Xia Xiaonuan, and she lost her bearings in an instant.

Though reminding Xia Xiaonuan about this matter wasn’t completely out of the question.

Besides, the truth of the matter is still unknown. Since she planned to leave, why not tell Xiaonuan about it?

Even if she cannot cause Xiaonuan pain, at least she doesn’t want this outsider to inherit the Xia Family’s assets.

"I want to tell you, actually..."

"Actually what?" Xia Xiaonuan saw her hesitating expression and frowned.

Xia Xinmei gritted her teeth and said, "You are not their biological daughter."

Xia Xiaonuan’s face turned pale at these words.

"What... what are you talking about?"

"You were adopted by your parents... so... you’re not mom’s daughter!" Xia Xinmei said in one breath, gritting her teeth.

Xia Xiaonuan heard these words and suddenly stood up.

She incredulously stepped forward, grabbed Xia Xinmei’s hand, and said, "What did you say? Say it again!"
