Xia Cheng was stunned on the spot. The guests' gazes landed on him as if they were mocking him for not educating his granddaughter well. She actually contradicted him in public.
Qiao Xi was the Xia family's enemy! She was as disobedient as her adoptive mother!
Xia Cheng's tone was impatient. "Who invited you? Qiao Xi, even if you're lying, you have to make it sound plausible. Who would invite you to Yingyun Hall on the day of Mengyan's apprenticeship banquet? How could it be such a coincidence? Since you don't want to repent, then don't attend the apprenticeship banquet. Get the hell out immediately. I don't want to see you!"
"I'm the one who invited her! Why? Can't I?" At this moment, a dignified and domineering female voice came from outside.
Xia Cheng and Old Madam Xia felt their hearts tremble. The blood in their bodies seemed to have frozen. This voice was very familiar, so familiar that it made them feel afraid.
