n

nShi Xi had been forced to endure too much abuse.

n

nShe could vaguely see the embryonic form of being blackened by the entire Internet.

n

nShi Xi was crying.

n

nIn a few days, it would be the Shi Family’s banquet day.

n

nEveryone in Feng City knew that the Shi Family’s biological daughter had returned. The purpose of holding this banquet was to introduce the Shi Family’s true daughter to everyone.

n

nInitially, Shi Xi did not want to attend the banquet. After all, in the original novel, her role at the banquet was to be slapped in the face by the female lead.

n

nWhy did she have to rush to get slapped?

n

n“If you don’t go, won’t it make people think that you’re afraid of Ning Yu?!” Tao Yuxuan called to persuade her. She said bitterly, “She’s a wild girl from the countryside. What are you afraid of?”

n

nShi Xi thought to herself, ‘Then you don’t know how terrifying the female lead is.’

n

nTao Yuxuan: “If you don’t come to the banquet, how are you going to watch us teach her a lesson?”

n

nShi Xi: “Ah? You’re going to teach her a lesson?”

n

nTao Yuxuan let the cat out of the bag and said, “I didn’t say anything!”

n

nShi Xi said seriously, “Don’t bully Ning Yu. She’s not an easy target.”

n

n“I still have something to do. I’ll hang up first.” Tao Yuxuan quickly hung up the phone.

n

nShi Xi looked at her phone and felt a headache coming on.

n

nCannon fodder sister, don’t send someone to their death!

n

nShi Xi lay on the bed for three seconds and decided to go back to the Shi Family to take a look.

n

nThe Shi Family treated the original owner very well. If she didn’t go back today, others would say that the Shi Family was treating her harshly.

n

nJust as Shi Xi was daydreaming, the door was pushed open from the outside.

n

n“I’ve only been gone for two days. Why are you on three trending searches? Why is your account blocked too? Don’t you know to inform me first if there’s anything? Shi Xi?!”

n

nShi Xi looked at the person who had just entered the room and was stunned.

n

nSo, so beautiful.

n

nWhat a beautiful man!

n

nThe person who had just entered had long hair draped over his shoulders. His face was exquisite and it was difficult to tell if he was male or female. However, from his Adam’s apple and flat chest, as well as his clothes, it was clear that he was a man.

n

nHe was Shi Xi’s manager: Han Chuan.

n

nShi Xi covered herself with the blanket. “Why didn’t you knock when you came in?”

n

nHan Chuan narrowed his eyes and did not answer Shi Xi’s question. Instead, he said in a certain tone, “You’ve gained weight from eating.”

n

nShi Xi: “??!”

n

nHan Chuan said unhappily, “Have you eaten for the past two nights?”

n

nShi Xi recalled how Han Chuan, as her manager, had strict requirements on the original owner, and instantly felt bad.

n

nBut what kind of person was she, Shi Xi?

n

nShi Xi puffed out her chest. “People are made of iron and steel. How can I not eat?!”

n

nHan Chuan sneered and said, “You only rely on that face of yours to make a living. If you get fat from eating, you’ll only be able to live on air in the future.”

n

nShi Xi: “???”

n

nShe was furious.

n

nWhat was even more infuriating was that what this man said actually made sense.

n

nShe was not the daughter of the Shi Family now, so she could only rely on her own face to make a living.

n

nIf she got fat from eating… She might really not be able to eat in the future!

n

nNo!

n

nHan Chuan snorted coldly, put the bag in his hand on the bed, and said, “Put on your gown, I’ll go to the Shi Family banquet with you.”

n

n“Okay.” Shi Xi nodded subconsciously.

n

nBy the time she came back to her senses, Han Chuan had already walked out.

n

nShi Xi was puzzled. How did he know that she was going to the Shi Family banquet? And he even brought a gown?

n

nHowever, the gown that Han Chuan brought for her was exquisite and gorgeous. The dark blue dress outlined her figure, and the silver high heels were the finishing touch.

n

nHer long hair was scattered, adding a bit of laziness to the girl’s elegance.

n

nThe green hair was a one-time use. Now that it had lost its color and turned brown, it still made the girl’s skin look whiter than snow.

n

nHan Chuan sized up Shi Xi and frowned. “You’ve really put on weight.”
