Chapter 140 Xie Qingcen: She is the rightful mistress of my Xie family.

Fu Yanci looked at Xie Qingcen and Fu Jingcheng, who were as close as biological father and son, and then looked at Ruan Liuzheng who was standing there indifferently. Surprise, astonishment and disbelief flashed across his eyes.

At the same time, some indescribable emotions arose in his heart, a little sour.

He unconsciously took two steps forward, ink-black eyes surging, and he said in a hoarse voice, "What did you call him just now?"

Fu Yanci's Adam's apple rolled. Although he was talking to Fu Jingcheng, his dark eyes were fixed on Xie Qingcen in front of him, and his palms tightened unconsciously.

Xie Qingcen's expression did not change. He glanced at Fu Yanci opposite him lightly. His clear eyebrows looked a little gorgeous under the bright light.

He curled his lips, his eyes flashing, "Nephew, I forgot to tell you last time, your son's current father is me! I'm certified and have a name and a position."

Fu Yanci was stunned for a moment.

His eyes widened, and he looked incredulous, but his clenched palms revealed his true emotions.

The corners of his thin lips unconsciously pursed into a straight line, as if he had forgotten how to speak.

After a long silence, he took a deep breath and forced a smile, "This joke is not funny at all. Uncle, do you know who is in your arms? Do you know who the biological mother of this child is?"

Fu Yanci stretched out his hand and pointed at Fu Jingcheng in Xie Qingcen's arms, and then pointed at Ruan Liuzheng in front of him, with a hint of bitterness in his dark eyes.

This is simply too ridiculous.

Who is the Xie family? What is Xie Qingcen's status? How could he possibly look down on a woman like Ruan Liuzheng?

Not to mention the burden she carried, even without Fu Jingcheng, even without their marriage, Sister Xie would never have accepted Ruan Liuzheng.

A powerless orphan, she had only been able to marry into the Fu family thanks to their generosity and his initial devotion to Ruan Liuzheng.

But now…

Fu Yanci's brows knitted together, his eyes gazing deeply at Ruan Liuzheng. What magic could

possibly hold Ruan Liuzheng captivating enough to captivate the new generation of power holders in the Xie family, even willingly accepting her as their successor?

Not only did he, but many present, didn't believe it either.

But reality seemed to forbid their disbelief.

Xie

Qingcen casually approached Ruan Liuzheng, his arm naturally clasping her slender shoulders. A smile played across his face, his dark eyes filled with tenderness and doting.

He brazenly announced Ruan Liuzheng's identity to the entire upper echelons of Yuncheng, disregarding the Xie family's reputation and status.

A gentle voice echoed through the silent banquet hall, its indifference tinged with a powerful seriousness that brooked no argument.

"Today, I solemnly introduce you to Ruan Liuzheng, the mistress of the Xie family and the design director of Suofan Company, the legitimate wife of the president of our Hanfei Group!"

Xie Qingcen straightened his back, holding Fu Jingcheng in one hand and Ruan Liuzheng in the other, his elegant features etched with an unprecedented seriousness and solemnity.

Everyone around him shuddered at the words.

Though still feeling a little uncomfortable, their expression had regained its composure, and even their gaze towards Ruan Liuzheng was faintly tinged with respect.

However, Fu Zhiqing was an exception.

Since she had never met or heard of the Xie family since she was a child, she naturally misunderstood Xie Qingcen during their previous meeting.

Today, upon hearing Xie Qingcen's true identity, her first reaction was guilt.

Because her previous actions had been rather bold, and knowing she might need the Xie family's protection in the future, she had been hiding behind Fu Yanci ever since Xie Qingcen appeared.

She had tried to minimize her presence, but it wasn't until she heard Xie Qingcen's words that she finally stepped forward.

She tightened her grip on Bai Huanqing and slowly stepped out from behind Fu Yanci, her head held high and her chest puffed out as she declared righteously, "I disagree!"

"Uncle, when you made this decision, did grandpa and grandma, or anyone else in the Xie family, know about it? Do they all recognize Ruan Liuzheng's status? Don't ruin the entire Xie family's future for your own selfish desires!"

Fu Zhiqing stood before Xie Qingcen, her delicate makeup trembling as she spoke, clearly furious.

The person she hated most in this world was Ruan Liuzheng. Now, having finally gotten rid of her, how could she allow Ruan Liuzheng to appear in her world and pollute her eyes again?

Furthermore, she held the prestigious position of mistress of the Xie family, a position even higher than her own.

So maybe she'd have to call Ruan Liuzheng "Aunt" from now on?

The mere thought of it was unbearable for Fu Zhiqing.

However, she overlooked the fact that Xie Qingcen wasn't Fu Yanci, the "good brother" who felt sorry for her and doted on her wholeheartedly.

Xie Qingcen felt absolutely no affection for the Fu siblings.

Fu Zhiqing's words, in particular, instantly escalated his dislike for her to a new level.

Xie Qingcen's eyes darkened.

He sneered, "Disagree? Who do you think you are to interfere with my decision? Is your Fu family upbringing so appalling?"

Xie Qingcen gently lifted his eyelids, his dark, dark eyes icy and devoid of any warmth.

He gazed at Fu Zhiqing as if he were looking at a lifeless, heartless corpse.

The temperature in the banquet hall dropped several degrees, causing everyone in attendance to shudder.

A deep sense of oppression overcame Fu Zhiqing, freezing her in her tracks.

She glanced at Fu Yanci beside her, bewildered, a flicker of fear in her eyes.

She was just a young lady with nothing to do, and with the Fu family's status in Yuncheng, she was always flattered by everyone she went out to. When had she ever faced such a situation before?

She had just acted impulsively, and now that her rationality had returned, she suddenly didn't know what to do next.

She could only ask Fu Yanci for help with a look of trepidation.
