Shen Ningxi used Lu Xinyue's face to wipe the plate clean.
She then took the plate back with some dissatisfaction.
In fact, she still wanted to press her face down and wipe the grandfather clock clean.
Unfortunately, the bodyguards arrived, and she couldn't defeat them.
Lu Xinyue wiped the cream off her face and complained aggrievedly, "Mom, she bullied me again!"
Lin Wanhui tenderly took a towel to wipe Lu Xinyue's face, "Don't be afraid, Mom will deal with her."
She wiped Lu Xinyue clean.
Lin Wanhui turned to Shen Ningxi, her eyes blazing with anger, practically spewing fire.
"You brat, you couldn't hold the plate steady yourself, you dirtied Old Master Yan's antiques, and you still have the nerve to bully Xinyue!"
"Don't you know how you got in here? Shouldn't you be keeping a low profile? Daring to cause trouble here, aren't you afraid of everyone knowing your identity!"
Hearing this, everyone perked up their ears.
What identity was she afraid of them knowing?
If they didn't find out today, they wouldn't be able to sleep!
Some people enjoyed watching the drama and stirring up trouble.
Someone asked, "Little girl, who did you come with? Damaging Old Master Yan's antiques is no small matter, hurry and call your parents."
Lin Wanhui raised her eyebrows triumphantly and sneered, "Look at her, does she dare to say? Give her a hundred times her courage, she wouldn't dare to say it."
Socialites: !!!
What other gossip were they missing? Hurry up and serve it!
Shen Ningxi was also confused.
Which of her identities couldn't be revealed?
Lin Wanhui crossed her arms, exchanged a look with Lu Xinyue, and the mother and daughter simultaneously wore mocking expressions.
Being a mistress and daring to attend a banquet, she deserved to be ridiculed.
They wanted to see how the dead girl would get out of this.
Let's see if Fang Wanshan dared to protect the cheap woman he kept outside in front of so many people!
The more she couldn't say it, the more everyone wanted to know.
Who brought Shen Ningxi became the focus of the banquet hall.
Even the Yan Family's butler was alerted and came over.
He walked forward with a smile and politely asked, "Miss, may I ask your surname and which distinguished guest you are attending the banquet with?"
Shen Ningxi directly stated the answer.
"My surname is Shen, and I am Yan Jingci's fiancée."
"..."
Three minutes later, a collective "Pfft" sound came from the entire venue.
"Young Master Yan is still here! The little girl isn't old, why is she lying."
"Young Master Yan used to date such beautiful women. How much would he have to downgrade to choose you as his fiancée."
"You can tell she's never been in a wealthy family. She doesn't even know how to pretend to be rich. Would Young Master Yan let his female companion attend dressed like this? Is this bringing him honor or shame?"
The guests present didn't want to be so harsh on a young girl.
But since she was a liar, there was no need to be polite.
Shen Ningxi looked down at her dress.
It looked quite nice, didn't it?
A moon-white Chinese style suit skirt, embroidered with magnolia branches, with overlapping skirt panels that rustled when she walked.
It was much better looking than the dress Yan Jingci sent her, which had no shoulders or sleeves, and she didn't have the chest to keep it up.
Shen Ningxi didn't care about their evaluation at all.
"Then when Yan Jingci arrives, you can ask him."
Everyone listened as if it were a joke, feeling that the young girl in front of them had gone mad, trying to reach for the moon.
Lin Wanhui felt smug, knowing this brat wouldn't dare to mention Fang Wanshan and would just pull someone out of thin air.
"Butler, won't you investigate how she got in? Don't let unauthorized personnel in and disrupt the Old Master's banquet."
With that said, everyone became curious about how this girl got in. What kind of security did the Yan family have to let someone of unknown identity sneak in?
The butler was about to step forward to inquire.
Suddenly, a young bodyguard appeared in the hall and said to Shen Ningxi, "Miss Shen, the Old Master is calling you to the main building for a talk."
...
Shen Ningxi didn't hesitate.
She followed the person. She had come to the Yan family precisely to see Old Master Yan.
As soon as she left, the banquet hall became lively.
Everyone began to speculate about why Old Master Yan had called for her.
"What else could it be? He must be angry that she dirtied the antiques."
"Didn't you hear the tone of the summons? If she were a distinguished guest, she would have been invited, not called for a talk!"
"Perhaps she pretended to be Young Master Yan's fiancée and angered the Old Master. Truly, pride comes before a fall. She's in big trouble this time."
Lin Wanhui gestured to Lu Xinyue.
As if asking, "How was it? Am I amazing, Mom?"
Lu Xinyue gave a thumbs up, "Old ginger is spicier, Mom, you're the real expert."
The mother and daughter were full of pride.
But at this moment, Lin Wanhui looked at Lu Xinyue and suddenly asked, "Xinyue, I've noticed your skin hasn't been as good lately?"
The day she returned to the Lu family, Lu Xinyue's face was like a peeled lychee, white and tender, so soft you could pinch water out of it.
Why did it seem a bit cakey today?
Lu Xinyue quickly touched her face.
It did feel a bit rough. Could it be that her face would become ugly just because she hadn't seen Shen Xubai for a few days?
Lu Xinyue casually replied, "Maybe I haven't slept well these past two days."
But in her heart, she was already contemplating how to find an opportunity to see Shen Xubai.
...
Five minutes later.
Lu Xinyue really wanted to say that she was blessed by a lucky koi, how could her wish come true so quickly!
Just as she was thinking of going to find Shen Xubai, he showed up at her doorstep.
Shen Xubai, wearing a mask, scanned the living room, looking for someone.
Lu Xinyue quickly stepped forward and linked her arm with Shen Xubai's, "Brother Xubai, why are you here! I've missed you so much since I haven't seen you for a few days."
Shen Xubai flinched back a step in fright.
Only one thought ran through his mind: I can't show a black face, it'll affect the act!
Lu Xinyue was startled by his reaction.
"Brother Xubai, what's wrong? Are you ignoring me because I'm not your biological sister?"
Shen Xubai cautiously maintained his distance.
But his expression softened slightly, "No. By the way, have you seen Ning Xi?"
Lu Xinyue: "..."
Shen Xubai had never been so perfunctory with her before!
Ning Xi, Ning Xi, asking about Shen Ningxi right off the bat. If he knew she was with an old man, would Shen Xubai still be able to smile?
Lu Xinyue tilted her head up, her chin lifting in a mocking gesture, "She broke Grandpa Yan's antiques and was called away for a talk!"
Shen Xubai: "Ah?!"
Will the salary I'm about to earn be enough to pay for it...
...
Shen Ningxi went to the main building.
Outside the small reception room, the Yan family's uncles and aunts were all present. Seeing her, hostile glances flew her way.
Shen Ningxi ignored them and walked straight past, entering the room.
The door closed.
The eldest uncle, second uncle, and aunts immediately pressed their faces against the door.
But the soundproofing in this room was terrifyingly good. How could they not hear even a single sound...
