Little ancestor, we know that you’re bold, but you don’t have to be so bold.
Aren’t you afraid that something will happen to you alone? How are we going to explain this to Master Jun later?

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

A middle-aged man beside her was first shocked when he saw Xia Wanyuan’s appearance.
Then he stood up and walked to her side.

“You’re Xia Wanyuan?” The middle-aged man’s tone was probing.

“I’ll count to three.
If your people don’t get out of here, you have to deal with the consequences.” Xia Wanyuan glanced at the bodyguards in the house.
There was a coldness in her voice and the aura emanating from her body shocked the middle-aged man.

I had only seen such a strong aura from the 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 be afraid of since she was just a little girl.
However, when he met that pair of cold eyes, he subconsciously listened to her orders.

“You guys go 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 her aura, he actually could not bring himself to do so.

“What’s the matter?” Xia Wanyuan was worried about what these people would do to Tang Yin and the rest.
She drove very quickly the entire way, and she was a little thirsty now.

The middle-aged man was used to serving the old lady.
Now that he saw Xia Wanyuan’s actions, he 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 recalled 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 dismissed the two of them.
Only then did the middle-aged man go forward and continue, “It’s like this.
You’re 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 surprised by his words at all.
Furthermore, she did not show any joy at being able to attend the Wei family’s banquet.

“I’m not going.”

“What?” The middle-aged man found it even more strange. If ordinary people could build a relationship with the branch of the Wei family, they would already feel that they were climbing up the social ladder, let alone the family banquet of the Wei family.
This was a qualification that many people in the high society could not snatch even if they fought to the death.
How could someone reject it?!

“You can leave now.
I said I’m not going.” Xia Wanyuan took a sip of tea, her bearing indescribably noble.

“Let me report it.
Please wait a moment.” The middle-aged man walked to the side and called the courtyard.

“Old Madam, Butler Zeng called.” In the quiet courtyard, the maid handed the phone to a white-haired old man.

“Speak.” An old but dignified voice sounded over the phone.
Butler Zeng was filled with respect.

“Old Madam, Miss Xia is unwilling to attend the banquet.” Hearing Butler Zeng address Xia Wanyuan, the old madam’s eyes flashed.
Butler Zeng had been by the old madam’s side for many years and had a high status.
Yesterday, he had still addressed Xia Wanyuan by her name, but today, it was with honorifics.

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

Xia Wanyuan stood up to leave when the butler’s voice sounded behind her.
“Miss Xia, our Old Madam said that your mother should have inheritance rights.
Are you going to give up this power on your mother’s behalf?”

Hearing this, Xia Wanyuan stopped in her tracks.
In fact, this world had nothing to do with her, but she and the Xia Wanyuan a thousand years later were fated.

If it was her, she would definitely not be interested in the so-called inheritance of the Wei family.
However, she had occupied someone else’s body and it was only right to help her take back everything that belonged to her mother.

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.
She casually wore her home clothes and left the house.
It was not appropriate to attend the banquet like this.

“You can come with me directly…” Butler Zeng was halfway through his sentence when he saw Xia Wanyuan’s gaze that did not allow for negotiation.
His heart turned cold and he swallowed his words.
“The Clear Wind Courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing.
The time is at seven o’clock at night.
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. It was too strange.

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

The Wei family was an old family that had been passed down since the Qing Dynasty.
The family rules were strict.
Many people came to the courtyard, but they were relatively quiet, except for some who whispered secretly.

“Sister, are all the people from the main branch here today? I heard that Wei Shu’s daughter is coming today too.” At the mention of Wei Shu, there seemed to be no affection in Wei Xian’s eyes.

“She’s considered half a member of the Wei family.
It’s reasonable to find her.” Wei Feng, the eldest daughter of the Wei family, was calm.

“But, isn’t having more people meaning having more assets being split? How long has Wei Shu been dead? Now, her daughter knows how to sit back and enjoy the fruits of her labor.
She came back directly to split the assets.” Wei Xian was a little angry.
Her voice subconsciously raised, attracting everyone’s attention.

“Sister, you can only say this in front of me.
If you say this outside, see how Mother will punish you.”

“I… I was just complaining to you, Sister.” After Wei Feng’s reminder, Wei Xian realized that her words had touched the old lady’s taboo and quickly shut up.

The sky gradually darkened.
Almost everyone in the hall was here.

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

Outside the courtyard, Xia Wanyuan was sent out by the chauffeur.
She walked straight into the courtyard but was stopped.

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

“I’m here for the 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 moment.”

The guard had been in the Wei family for so long but had never seen this junior.
He could not help but be suspicious.
However, Xia Wanyuan’s appearance and clothes were too outstanding.
The guard’s heart wavered, so he asked Xia Wanyuan to stay at the door and go in to pass the message.

Soon, Butler Zeng brought the guard over.
“Miss Xia, this way please.”

Seeing Xia Wanyuan’s clothes, Butler Zeng nodded to himself.
Ignoring everything else, her noble aura was much better than those of the noble ladies who had been raised in the Wei family since they were young.

People might even suspect that Xia Wanyuan was the one who had truly been raised by the best in the prestigious family.
