The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age

Chapter 172

Little Ancestor, we know that you are brave, but you must not be so brave. Are you not afraid that something will happen to you? How are we going to explain this to Master Jun later?

Xia Wanyuan pushed the studio door open and a group of tall bodyguards stared at her.

A middle-aged man beside her was first startled upon seeing Xia Wanyuan's appearance. Then he stood up and walked to his side.

"You're Xia Wanyuan?" The middle-aged man's tone probed.

“I will count to three. If your people don't get out of here, you have to face the consequences.” Xia Wanyuan glanced at the bodyguards at home. There was a cold tone in his voice and the aura emanating from his body shocked the middle-aged man.

I only saw such a powerful aura from Old Madam. How could such a small celebrity have such an aura?

"Three, two." Xia Wanyuan's cold voice sounded.

The middle-aged man's rationality told him that there was nothing to fear because he was just a little girl. However, when he met that pair of cold eyes, he subconsciously listened to his orders.

"You guys get out first." He could not help but wave his hand for the bodyguards to leave.

"Miss ... Xia?" The middle-aged man wanted to call Xia Wanyuan, but under his aura, he actually could not do it.

"What's the problem?" Xia Wanyuan was worried about what these people would do to Tang Yin and the others. He drives very fast all the way, and he's a little thirsty now.

The middle-aged man was used to serving the old woman. Now that she saw Xia Wanyuan's actions, she knew that she wanted to drink water. The middle-aged man subconsciously wanted to pour tea for Xia Wanyuan.

He had already taken a step forward when he remembered that the person in front of him had no right to make him pour tea.

He looked at Chen Yun and Tang Yin. Xia Wanyuan waved her hand and dispersed the two of them. Only then did the middle-aged man come forward and continue

“Like this. You are the daughter of Third Miss Wei and can be considered a member of the Wei family. I invite you to attend the Wei family banquet tonight.”

Unexpectedly, Xia Wanyuan was not at all surprised by her words. Furthermore, he did not show any joy at being able to attend the Wei family banquet.

"I'm not leaving."

"What?" 

The middle-aged man felt even stranger. If an ordinary person could establish a relationship with a branch of the Wei family, they would feel that they were climbing the social ladder, let alone the Wei family banquet. This was a qualification that many in high society could not snatch even if they fought to the death. How could anyone refuse him?!

“You can go now. I said I'm not going.” Xia Wanyuan took a sip of tea, her attitude was extremely noble.

“Let me report. Please wait a minute." The middle-aged man walked to the side and called out to the courtyard.

"Old Lady, Waiter Zeng called." In the quiet courtyard, the waiter handed the phone to a white-haired old woman.

"Speak." An old but dignified voice sounded through the phone. Zeng's servants were filled with respect.

"Old Lady, Miss Xia won't attend the banquet." Hearing Servant Zeng speak to Xia Wanyuan, the old mistress's eyes sparkled. Servant Zeng had been by the old mistress' side for many years and had a high status. Yesterday, he still called Xia Wanyuan by her name, but today, it was with honor.

Xia Wanyuan had finished a cup of tea when the middle-aged man finished his call.

Xia Wanyuan stood up to leave when the voice of the butler sounded behind her. 

“Nona Xia, our Old Lady said that your mother should have inheritance rights. Are you going to give up this power on behalf of your mother?”

Hearing this, Xia Wanyuan stopped her steps. In fact, this world had nothing to do with him, but he and Xia Wanyuan a thousand years later were doomed.

If it was him, he would definitely not be interested in the so-called Wei family legacy. However, he had occupied the bodies of others and it was right to help him take back all his mother's property.

Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had indeed stopped as expected, the butler walked forward. 

"Come with me, Miss Xia."

“Where is the address? I'll go there myself later.” Xia Wanyuan came in a hurry. He casually put on his home clothes and left the house. It is not appropriate to attend a banquet like this.

"You can come with me directly ..." Servant Zeng was going through half her sentence when she saw Xia Wanyuan's gaze that did not allow for negotiations. His heart grew cold and he swallowed his words. 

“Sunny Wind Page on the outskirts of Beijing. Time has shown at seven o'clock in the evening. Don't be late.”

After the butler finished speaking, Xia Wanyuan left the office.

Butler Zeng shook his head as he watched Xia Wanyuan leave. That's too weird.

***

The entrance to the beautiful courtyard in the outskirts of Beijing was already filled with all sorts of luxurious cars.

The Wei family is an old family descended from the Qing Dynasty. Family rules are very strict. Many people came to the courtyard, but they were relatively calm, except for a few who were whispering silently.

“Sister, are everyone from the main branch here today? I heard that Wei Shu's daughter is coming today as well.” When mentioning Wei Shu, there seemed to be no affection in Wei Xian's eyes.

“He is already considered half of the Wei family members. It makes sense to find it.” Wei Feng, the eldest daughter of the Wei family, calmed down.

“But, doesn't having more people mean having more assets shared? How long has Wei Shu been dead? Now, his daughter knew how to sit down and enjoy the fruits of her hard work. He came back directly to split the assets.” Wei Xian was a little angry. His voice involuntarily lifted, attracting the attention of everyone.

“I... I just complain to you, Brother.” After Wei Feng's reminder, Wei Xian realized that his words had touched the old woman's taboo and quickly shut up.

The sky gradually became dark. Almost everyone in the hall is here.

The people in the hall were all from the main branch of the Wei family and were familiar with each other. Before the old woman arrived, the middle-aged people exchanged greetings while the younger generation gathered and spoke softly.

Outside the courtyard, Xia Wanyuan was sent by the driver. He walked straight to the yard but was stopped.

“Nona, this is the Wei family's place. You can't barge in.”

"I'm here for a banquet." Xia Wanyuan stood still.

"Please show me your invitation."

"I don't have an invitation."

“I'll go in and report this. Please wait a minute."

The guard had been in the Wei family for a long time but had never seen this junior. He couldn't help but suspect. However, Xia Wanyuan's appearance and clothes were simply too outstanding. The guard's heart wavered, so he asked Xia Wanyuan to stay at the door and enter to deliver a message.

Immediately, butler Zeng brought the guard. 

"Miss Xia, please come this way."

Looking at Xia Wanyuan's clothes, butler Zeng nodded to himself. Ignoring the others, her noble aura was far better than the aura of noble women who had been raised in the Wei family since they were young.

People might even suspect that Xia Wanyuan was the one who was actually raised by the best in a prestigious family.

After following butler Zeng into the courtyard, Xia Wanyuan had learned some skills in reading something after spending so many days in the manor.

The courtyard was much larger than Xia Wanyuan had imagined. It was decorated with pavilions and pavilions, and the Nine Zigzag Corridor style was like a large private garden.

If Xia Wanyuan did not enter from the outside, he would have thought that he had entered the Misty Rain River.

It seemed that Jun Shiling was right about the deep foundation of the Wei family.

"Miss Xia is here."

A voice sounded from outside the door. The hall, which had been filled with low voices, instantly became silent.

In principle, everyone who could stand in the hall today had the right to inherit the Wei family property. Moreover, the old woman's health had deteriorated in recent years, but the next head of the Wei family had not confirmed it for a long time. Everyone looked harmonious on the surface, but there was already a storm appearing in the darkness.

There's been a lot of competition. Now, there was still someone who could not be considered from the Wei family but came to share a place with them, everyone was naturally unhappy. However, after learning that Xia Wanyuan was just a female celebrity connected to the Internet, everyone was very relaxed. Now, they were more interested in watching the commotion.

After all, in the Wei family, everyone was highly educated and intelligent. They are either in the arts or in the business world. In the eyes of the Wei family, who had a strong sense of tradition, those who entered the entertainment industry were truly humiliating.

Butler Zeng walked in and led the people behind him. The crowd, who had been preparing to witness the commotion, fell silent as Xia Wanyuan completely opened up.

Xia Wanyuan wore a sky blue embroidered dress. Her hair was tied up simply with hairpins.

The style of the courtyard has a bit of ancient architecture. Xia Wanyuan walked slowly, as if she had just walked out of the Misty Rain River.

The Wei family had very good genes. Everyone who comes in and out is handsome and beautiful. However, at this moment, everyone could not help but exclaim in their hearts. She's very pretty.

What surprised everyone even more was Xia Wanyuan's arrogant aura slightly similar to Old Madam's. It was just as frightening and made someone subconsciously look at him.

The people who had originally only treated Xia Wanyuan as a cannon fodder competitor felt an inexplicable panic.

Under everyone's gaze, Xia Wanyuan casually followed the guidance of butler Zeng and found her seat.

The people sitting at the same table were all juniors the same age as Xia Wanyuan. Xia Wanyuan glanced at them and they seemed to be slightly hostile towards him, other than a handsome man sitting opposite her nodding at him. Xia Wanyuan returned her smile.

Receiving Xia Wanyuan's elegant smile, Wei Zimu was stunned. This sister whom he had never seen before was more attractive than he had imagined.

“Mrs Old.” Xia Wanyuan had already sat down, but everyone's gaze on her had not disappeared. A voice rang out, and Xia Wanyuan actually felt a pair of extremely sharp eyes and probed at him.

Xia Wanyuan followed this gaze and saw a silver-haired but somewhat imposing old woman was assessing herself.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at the old woman and retracted her gaze. He took the cup beside him and poured himself a glass of water.

Seeing that Xia Wanyuan was still so calm under his supervision, some thoughts surfaced in the old mistress' heart, but she did not show them on her face.

"Let the banquet begin." The old madam sat in her chair and glanced at the people in the hall. Without saying anything more, he asked someone to start the banquet.

Xia Wanyuan was busy all afternoon and hungry. Just as the chopsticks were about to grab the pearl meatballs on the table, the chopsticks were stopped by someone.
