nNing Yu’s personality had always been cold. When she saw the necklaces that Shi Xi held up, she did not show much emotion.

n

nShi Xi looked at the necklaces in her hand and said, “Then you should wear this crescent moon. It feels like you’re like a bright moon, with a clear light from a thousand miles away.”

n

nHearing Shi Xi’s praise, Ning Yu turned her head to look at her, her eyes filled with inquiry.

n

nAlthough Ning Yu’s personality was cold, she could sense that the people of the Shi Family did not like her.

n

nCompared to her, a real daughter who had returned from the countryside, the people of the Shi Family preferred Shi Xi, who had grown up under their care and had a docile and had an obedient personality.

n

nHowever, to Ning Yu, the people of the Shi Family were like a group of strangers. She did not bother to curry favor with them.

n

nShe did not expect that Shi Xi would take the initiative to look for her.

n

nNing Yu took the necklace and said unnaturally, “Thank you.”

n

n“This is a gift from Big Brother. If you want to thank me, you can tell Big Brother yourself.” Shi Xi sized up her star necklace and said, “Help me put this on.”

n

nNing Yu looked at Shi Xi who was very close to her and felt a little uncomfortable.

n

nHowever, Shi Xi’s eyes were bright like the bright stars in the night sky, unbridled and flickering in the endless black sky.

n

nNing Yu took the necklace and put it on her.

n

nAfter Shi Xi put on the necklace, she straightened the star pendant, her eyes filled with anticipation. “Does it look good?”

n

nThe girl was wearing a dark blue dress, and the star pendant on her neck reflected a dazzling light under the light. But the girl’s eyes were even brighter. Under her crow-feather-like eyelashes, her black eyes were like the Polaris in the dark night.

n

nThe corners of Ning Yu’s mouth curled up slightly, and she could not help but reveal a doting smile. “You look good.”

n

nWhen Shi Xi saw Ning Yu smile, she was slightly startled and said, “Your smile is so beautiful!”

n

nNing Yu coughed. “Is there anything else?”

n

nShi Xi looked at the time and reminded her, “You should change into your gown.”

n

n“Yes.” Ning Yu took out a red gown from the wardrobe.

n

nIt was even brighter and more beautiful than the dress that Ning Yu had bought for her previously.

n

nHowever, the moment she took it out, Ning Yu realized that something was wrong.

n

nShe pulled up the hem of the dress and frowned slightly.

n

nThe slit of the dress that was originally only open to the knees was now open to the waist.

n

nShe couldn’t wear it at all.

n

nShi Xi didn’t realize that the dress had been cut by someone. With a face full of admiration, she suggested tactfully, “Isn’t this slit too high?”

n

nWhen Ning Yu saw the dress, she suspected that Shi Xi had done it.

n

nHowever, Shi Xi had such an innocent expression, as if she did not know about this.

n

n“It’s not that it’s too high, it’s that the dress has been cut.” Ning Yu’s eyes were slightly lowered, and there was a coldness in her eyes.

n

nShe had only returned to the Shi Family for a few days, and there was already someone who could not stand her and did such a small thing?

n

n“Hiss — Who’s so bad!” Shi Xi took a deep breath and hurriedly said, “I didn’t do it!”

n

nHow could she be so unlucky!

n

nShe actually appeared at the plot point where the female lead was framed!

n

nThis wasn’t in the original plot!

n

nNing Yu pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.

n

n“Oh right, I also brought back the gown that I bought for you last time.” Shi Xi thought of this matter and immediately stood up. “I’ll go get it for you!”

n

nAlthough Ning Yu didn’t take the clothes that Shi Xi bought last time, Shi Xi still brought it back.

n

nShe didn’t think that they would be useful so soon.

n

nHowever, Ning Yu wouldn’t suspect that she was the one who cut the clothes, right!?

n

nShi Xi sighed.

n

nThe life of the female lead was too difficult.

n

nLuckily, she was only a supporting actress.

n

nHehe.

n

nWhile Shi Xi went to get the clothes, Ning Yu sat back in front of the computer and tapped on the keyboard a few times.

n

nThe screen flashed for a moment, and the surveillance video of the Shi family’s corridor popped up.

n

nNing Yu’s room was on the innermost part of this floor. No one else would normally pass by.

n

nShe had just brought the gown back yesterday. She just needed to see who had entered her room during the period when she was not at home.

n

nAfter seeing who had entered her room, Ning Yu was expressionless as she exited the surveillance interface.

n

nHer phone flashed, and a message came in.

n

nNing Yu took a look. It was an account entry message.

n

nYour last account number 4321 has completed a transaction of 200,000 with a balance of 71,271,896.
