Chapter 23

Shi Xi had been forced to endure too much abuse.

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

Shi Xi was crying.

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

Everyone 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.

Initially, 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.

Why did she have to rush to get slapped?

“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?”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The 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.

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

“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?!”

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

So, so beautiful.

What a beautiful man!

The 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.

He was Shi Xi’s manager: Han Chuan.

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

Han 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.”

Shi Xi: “??!”

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

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

But what kind of person was she, Shi Xi?

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

Han 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.”

Shi Xi: “???”

She was furious.

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

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

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

No!

Han 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.”

“Okay.” Shi Xi nodded subconsciously.

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

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

However, 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.

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

The 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.

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