The Best Actor Insists On Living With Me!

Chapter 330: Chapter 330 Family (4)
At the height of the heated discussion inside, Xia Siyu slammed the door open with a “bang.”

Under the varied gazes of surprise and indifference from the few inside, Xia Siyu marched straight in. Today, she wore a satin cocktail dress with high heels, her almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed, calmly yet sharply scanning the lounge.

In the center sat her father, Xia Youbiao, snuggled up next to him was her sister, Xia Sicai. On the sofa beside them sat her brother, Xia Ju’an.

Upon her arrival, Xia Youbiao’s face brightened considerably. Xia Youbiao, in his fifties, looked well-preserved, almost as if he were in his early forties. Free from the potbelly and greasiness of middle-aged men, he had a gentle temperament. Although years of business had toughened him and instilled some cunning, he still maintained a refined and scholarly demeanor.

Her brother, Xia Ju’an, sitting aside, seemed pleased to see her but was also very worried about her impending encounter with Mrs. Tong.

Only Xia Sicai, upon seeing Xia Siyu, paused in surprise but quickly resumed smiling, “Siyu has arrived.”

Xia Siyu quietly observed her, unable to fully comprehend the emotions in Xia Sicai’s eyes. She merely felt that her sister always harbored an aloof pity.

But now, having fought her way through the entertainment industry, there wasn’t a type of person she hadn’t encountered.

Xia Sicai was just an enhanced version of Shang Feifei. Shang Feifei was the type labeled as “green tea,” and Xia Sicai with the added glory of family business, would be described in more pleasant terms as extremely versatile.

She was scheming and calculating, and perhaps even capable of true love, but all was entangled with the pursuits of interests.

How much she had liked Bo Yan back in the day, so much so that she gave up her doctoral studies to return home for him. But as soon as Bo Yi took control of Bosch Corporation and began pursuing her, she was ready to switch sides and engage herself to Bo Yi.

She didn’t have such tactics and cunning.

Did she and Mrs. Tong truly detest her and her mother that much? Of course, the struggle for Xia Youbiao was a reason. But the deeper cause was that Xia Youbiao and the Xia Family were their stronghold of interests. It was essential for them to defend it, hence the continuous repulsion of outsiders like Xia Siyu and Wen Qunxiao.

Now add the Bo Family to the mix.

Since she was now married to Bo Yi, she and Bo Yan, in the eyes of that couple, became thorns in their side. Naturally, she hoped Xia Siyu would never gain the recognition of the Xia Family nor be accepted by the Bo Family.

What they defended to the death, she saw as insignificant.

But considering them insignificant didn’t mean she was willing to be trampled on by them without a fight!

—Just like Bo Yan, he might choose not to compete, but if others thought they could exploit his good nature, sorry, they were sorely mistaken!

Eh? Why was she thinking about Bo Yan? Xia Siyu frowned slightly, then smiled faintly, “I just heard that you seemed to be discussing me.”

Xia Youbiao nodded, “How do you plan to take your seat later?”

Xia Siyu smiled, striding confidently in her high heels. She approached Xia Youbiao, twistily shoved Xia Sicai aside, and sat down nonchalantly, “How about I sit next to Dad?”

Xia Sicai stepped back, her smile slightly diminished. Xia Youbiao knew this daughter rarely showed closeness to him, except when her mother was still alive. Other attempts at such closeness meant pushing aside her siblings, but even knowing she had an ulterior motive, he was happy, “Of course, that’s good. But now you’re married to Bo Yan. This is the senior Mr. Bo’s birthday banquet, what about your position with the Bo side?”
