nTao Yuxuan said these words to embarrass Ning Yu.

n

nAfter all, although Ning Yu was the real daughter of the Shi family, she was ignorant and had never entered the socialite circle.

n

nIn the eyes of most people, Ning Yu was just a country bumpkin from the mountains, a delinquent girl from No. 13 High School, and a scumbag who couldn’t get into university.

n

nEven at such an important moment today, she was dressed casually, and it was only in the middle of the banquet that she arrived.

n

n*

n

nWhat kind of gift could such a person give?

n

n“Is this the Shi family’s exiled daughter? She looks very ordinary.”

n

n“Shi Xi is still better looking and has a temperament.”

n

n“Ning Yu hasn’t changed her name yet, so she definitely won’t be liked by the Shi family.”

n

n“…”

n

nEveryone chimed in, feeling that Ning Yu did not know how to be polite.

n

nShi Xi spoke up for Ning Yu. “Sister Ning Yu might have been delayed by something. Come over and eat the cake!”

n

nShe cut the first piece of cake!

n

nTao Yuxuan pulled Shi Xi. “You’re just too kind. That’s why you’ve been bullied by Ning Yu. Have you forgotten that she chased you out previously?”

n

n“That was because I wanted to go out to live because I was going to film,” Shi Xi clarified once again.

n

nHowever, no one believed her.

n

n“Shi Xi is really understanding!”

n

n“That true daughter is just not as good as Shi Xi.”

n

n“A useless person is just a useless person. Even if you fly up a branch, you won’t become a phoenix.”

n

nEveryone whispered and discussed in low voices.

n

nThey thought that they were whispering, but Ning Yu’s hearing was very good, so all the mockery was heard by her.

n

nPerhaps, they didn’t care if Ning Yu could hear it.

n

n“Ning Yu, where’s your birthday present?” Tao Yuxuan urged again.

n

nNing Yu had one hand in her pocket, and her eyes were cold.

n

nTao Yuxuan met her eyes and couldn’t help but shrink back.

n

nNing Yu’s eyes were so cold!

n

n“This is a present for Shi Xi.” Ning Yu took out a red string pendant from her pocket, and with a flick of her thumb, the pendant flew in an elegant parabola in the air.

n

nTao Yuxuan saw Ning Yu’s movements and followed the movement of the pendant in fear that it would fall into the cake.

n

nShe had been making the cake for an entire day!

n

nThe thing that she was worried about did not happen. Shi Xi reached out her hand and caught the red rope pendant that Ning Yu threw.

n

nUnder the red rope was a crystal clear jade gourd.

n

nTao Yuxuan saw that the thing did not fall into the cake and heaved a sigh of relief. She snatched the gourd pendant from Shi Xi’s hand and pinched the rope to look at the light. She said disdainfully, “What is this…” a piece of trash?

n

nAfter she clearly saw the material of the jade gourd, she held back the last few words.

n

nUnder the bright light, the jade gourd under the red string was crystal clear. If one looked carefully, one could even see the purple jade marrow flowing in the middle.

n

nThis was a top-notch Jade Heart!

n

nTao Yuxuan had always thought that Ning Yu was a country bumpkin. Even when she returned to the Shi family, she would not have much knowledge.

n

nWhen she saw the red rope pendant that Ning Yu threw at her, Tao Yuxuan thought that it was a fake that she had bought from a stall.

n

nIt did not even have a packaging box.

n

nHowever, she did not expect it to be a top-grade Jade Heart!

n

nShe had only said half of her sentence of “What is this…” a piece of trash?

n

nTao Yuxuan was standing beside Shi Xi. She was also standing on the steps, a little higher than the others.

n

nShe raised the jade gourd in such a way that the others looked over in boredom. They saw the purple radiance flowing within the jade gourd.

n

n“F*ck! is that a Jade Heart?! Am I seeing things?!”

n

n“It can’t be wrong. It’s a top-grade Jade Heart. I won’t be mistaken!”

n

nThe guests present were all people who recognized the quality of the jade. There was no lack of jewelry merchants. They could tell the quality of the jade just by looking at it with their sharp eyes.
