At this moment, a girl in a formal dress exited the art gallery behind them.

The girl first addressed Jiang Xue as her junior, then she looked at Shen Xi and Zhao Yuan with a smile, asking Jiang Xue, “Junior, are these two your friends? Shall we go to the birthday banquet together? However, they can’t be dressed like this. They need to change.”

“Birthday banquet?” Zhao Yuan asked curiously. “What birthday banquet?”

“It’s Old Chief Guan’s birthday party?” the girl replied. “I and…”

Jiang Xue stopped her overly enthusiastic senior and said, “Senior, it’s not like that. I don’t know them. Let’s hurry up and leave, lest we be late.”

The girl’s expression turned slightly awkward as she apologized to Shen Xi and Zhao Yuan, “I’m sorry, I misunderstood.”

Jiang Xue pulled the girl away and said, “Senior, they’re just some insignificant people with no status. Why are you so polite?”

The girl was confused. “This isn’t being polite. This is courtesy. Everyone is the same. It has nothing to do with one’s status.”

Jiang Xue was made speechless by her silly senior. Other than her talent in painting, she could only be described as naive and stupid.

People were divided into different ranks and classes from the time they were born. How could it have nothing to do with status? This was too ridiculous!

She, Jiang Xue, was born to be superior, while people like Shen Xi were destined to live a humble life!

If she hadn’t been wrongly brought back as a baby then, it would have been impossible for someone of Shen Xi’s status to come into contact with those people.

Even Zhao Yuan, who came from a small family, was not someone that Shen Xi could come into contact with, being a poor student who could only afford to attend an ordinary public school.

This was the reality!

“You know Jiang Xue?” From the corner, a girl suddenly appeared before Shen Xi and Zhao Yuan.

Xia Huang had always thought that, without her mother’s guidance, Jiang Xue would not be able to attend the old chief’s birthday banquet.

However, this morning, Xia Ling discovered that Jiang Xue was trying on a gown. Therefore, when Jiang Xue had left a while ago, Xia Ling had secretly followed her.

Now it seemed that Jiang Xue had sneaked into the birthday banquet by taking advantage of Xue Liu’s invitation.

When she saw Jiang Xue’s tone when speaking to these two people, she felt that Jiang Xue should know them.

Jiang Xue had only been in the capital city for a few days and didn’t have many friends there. These two people should be from Rong City?

However, Xia Huang was very interested in what Zhao Yuan had just said. Jiang Xue must have done something in Rong City. Otherwise, how could she be regarded as seducing the second generation of a rich family?

“Who are you?” Shen Xi pulled Zhao Yuan behind her and looked at Xia Huang warily.

The girl in front of her wasn’t old, but she looked a little similar to Jiang Xue. If Shen Xi didn’t guess wrongly, this girl should be related to Jiang Xue in some way.

In order to prevent Zhao Yuan from being targeted for her nonsense, Shen Xi felt that it was better to be more careful.

Xia Huang looked at the wariness in Shen Xi’s eyes, smiled, and said, “You don’t have to be so wary of me. My name is Xia Huang, Jiang Xue’s cousin. I was just curious about how you said Jiang Xue is seducing a rich second generation. The Xia family is a clean family, so I naturally have to get to the bottom of such a nasty rumor.”

Shen Xi naturally saw the look of disgust that flashed across Xia Ling’s eyes when she mentioned ‘Jiang Xue’ and knew that Jiang Xue didn’t seem to be living so comfortably in the Xia family.

Zhao Yuan could also sense the hostile relationship between Jiang Xue and Xia Huang. She was about to speak when Shen Xi stopped her.

Shen Xi merely smiled at Xia Ling and said, “You can ask around about Jiang Xue’s situation in Rong City. We can’t talk about it. Sorry.”

Xia Ling’s gaze landed on the smiling Shen Xi, and her eyes revealed her slight surprise.

The girl before her had delicate features but was not petty. Instead, she was bright and beautiful. However, there was a hint of coldness in her eyes that made people want to approach her but not dare to do so. She was attractive but prickly.

Xia Huang had originally thought that someone who came from the same place as Jiang Xue would definitely not be presentable, but she didn’t expect the girl in front of her to be so calm.

Since she didn’t want to tell her, Xia Huang wouldn’t ask for trouble. “I’m sorry, I was a little presumptuous.”

Shen Xi was just about to bring Zhao Yuan away when Xia Huang suddenly spoke out, “To express my apology, I would like to invite the two of you to attend the old chief’s birthday banquet with me. Is that okay?”

Since Jiang Xue didn’t want to see or face these two people, if she brought them to the banquet, Jiang Xue’s expression would probably be very interesting. Xia Huang suddenly looked forward to it.
