-058- Xuan Yang, I love you.
The news that Xuan Yang had become a daughter of the Xie family spread through the circle the next day. To emphasize their regard for her, the Xie family even held a special banquet in her honor. The buzz lasted a long time, and just when it seemed to be dying down, the Xie family would release new updates that refreshed everyone's perception. Eventually, the whole internet knew that Xuan Yang had once been an orphan but was now the second young miss of the Xie family. They also knew that the Xie family had prepared a lavish dowry for her, which, coupled with the May 20th wedding, drew immense public attention.
Xuan Yang benefited greatly from this. On one hand, she gained a family with no blood ties but real meaning; on the other hand, she became the face of Junda Law Firm. Her salary increased, and she received more and more cases. Of course, this also had its downsides—she became busier than ever, juggling work and social engagements as a Xie family heiress, accompanying Grandma Xie to functions. This allowed Xie Xinglan to slack off and focus on her training school.
Xuan Yang stayed busy until just before the wedding, when she finally forced herself to clear her schedule. During this time, Zhou Dang, abandoning his previous low-key approach, publicly revealed many wedding preparations online. The Xie family also released the dowry list for Xuan Yang. Since Xuan Yang and Xuan Yao were both former daughters of the Xuan family, and their wedding dates were close, socialites and wives inevitably compared them. As a result, Xuan Yao lived in Xuan Yang's shadow. Her family's dowry paled in comparison to what the Xie family had prepared for Xuan Yang. Xuan Yao couldn't understand why the Xie family would spend so much money on an unrelated outsider.
Even Xuan Yang was surprised. According to the Xie family's disclosed dowry list, the scale far exceeded their normal standards—even Xie Xinglan's dowry wasn't that generous. Something seemed off. Xuan Yang discussed it with Grandma Xie, saying she didn't need the Xie family to spend real money on such showy gestures. But Grandma Xie just held her hand, patted it, and told her not to worry—just let them handle everything.
