The guests attending the Zhang family's birthday banquet were all prominent figures who valued appearances and would not engage in public displays of jealousy or sabotage.

However, the vast majority of people came because of Ninth Master.

Gossip still can't be avoided in private.

Some people envy and are jealous of Sheng Ai.

Some people also mocked and ridiculed Sheng Tianxing.

"Her eyes never left Ninth Master; she was definitely after him, but unfortunately, Ninth Master didn't even notice her..."

"The way she followed Sheng Ai around, trying to get Ninth Master's attention, was like a clown..."

“Sheng Tianxing has never won against Sheng Ai even once in his life…”

Sheng Tianxing turned his head slightly, searching for the source of these sounds.

She vowed that she would remember who the other person was or what they looked like.

Then prepare a few talismans to bring misfortune, nightmares, financial ruin, disfigurement, etc., to make the other person suffer...

I'm secretly cursing here.

Sheng Tianxing suddenly realized that she hadn't shown Ninth Master her face yet!

The ability to read faces varies from person to person.

If someone is down on their luck or about to die, she can see their dejection at a glance...

For an ordinary person, she would need to use a bit of her spiritual power to discern their technique...

But for noble people and extraordinary people, she needs a lot of spiritual power to see them clearly...

Someone like Ninth Master is obviously destined for great wealth and honor; it's not something she can easily see through.

She has to wait until her spiritual power is fully restored before she can see it...

While she was lost in thought.

Ninth Master spoke, his voice clear, gentle, and extremely pleasant to the ear: "I felt an instant connection with Miss Ai."

"After tonight, may I invite Miss Ai out for dinner or to exercise together?"

Sheng Ai said, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Shi. I cherish the time I spend with my family and don't like going out..."

“No problem!” Sheng Tianxing interrupted Sheng Ai and said warmly, “Mr. Shi, you are welcome to come and visit my sister.”

“My sister just came back from abroad. She was busy studying when she was in China and didn’t have many friends.”

“My parents have always hoped that my sister can make more outstanding friends and go out more.”

"Mr. Shi can come to us anytime he wants."

She said Sheng'ai has no friends, and that's the absolute truth.

However, that's not entirely accurate.

To be precise, Sheng Ai had no close friends.

Because the Sheng family had been raising Sheng Ai as a sacrificial offering from the very beginning, they naturally did not want Sheng Ai to have any friends or close outsiders, lest those people would go looking for Sheng Ai after she disappeared.

Therefore, Sheng Ai has been very busy since she was a child.

After finishing her classes and homework every day, she also has to attend all sorts of training courses.

Piano, dance, fine arts, etiquette, horseback riding, judo, surfing...

I'm incredibly busy every day.

There's simply no time to go out and have fun with classmates or friends.

In addition, the Sheng family strictly forbids Sheng Ai from dating, and even more so from dating boys or spending time alone with men.

It can be said that Sheng Ai was indeed very simple and pure in her interpersonal relationships.

As for the two sentences that Sheng Tianxing said later.

It was only to use Sheng Ai to get close to Ninth Master.

Although doing this made Sheng Tianxing very unwilling and embarrassed, how could she get close to Ninth Master if she didn't do it?

After hearing Sheng Tianxing's words, Ninth Master asked Sheng Ai, "Miss Ai, is that alright?"

Sheng Ai nodded: "Since Xingxing thinks it's okay, then it's okay."

Ninth Master smiled and said, "Okay."

Taking the opportunity, Sheng Tianxing asked, "Mr. Shi, may I add you on WeChat?"

"I am a metaphysician, and although I am still young, I believe my professional skills are quite good."

"I can have Mr. Shi's fortune told or something another day."

"If Mr. Shi wants to change his luck, I can do that too."

In Sheng Tianxing's view.

A well-mannered person like Ninth Master couldn't possibly refuse such a small request from a beautiful young girl in front of so many people, could he?

Also, she's so famous that so many people are lining up to have their fortunes told by her.

She rarely offered to read Ninth Master's fortune; would Ninth Master refuse?

result……

Ninth Master smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Sheng."

"But I believe in going with the flow, accepting my fate with optimism, and I never consult fortune tellers or have my fortune told."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Guang on the side behind him.

Xiao Guang took out his business card, handed it to Sheng Tianxing with both hands, and said politely, "Ninth Master often goes out without his phone."

"I am Ninth Master's personal assistant. If Miss Sheng needs to see Ninth Master, just give me a call."

Sheng Tianxing's smile froze for several seconds.

She then managed a weak smile, accepted the business card, and said, "Thank you."

The big shots at the table exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.

Even they couldn't get Ninth Master's private phone number or WeChat.

This girl thinks too highly of herself.

Sheng Tianxing felt this silent mockery and wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground...

In an awkward situation.

She tried to make conversation to divert everyone's attention.

"Huh, why are all the dishes vegetarian today?"

"Is there no meat?"

There was a few seconds of silence at the head table.

Sheng Tianxing: "..."

Why are people looking at her with such strange eyes?

Is there something wrong with her face?

She raised her hand and touched her face.

Then Shi Qian coughed lightly and said with a slightly embarrassed tone, "It's like this, Ninth Master has been a vegetarian since he was a child and never touches meat, so this whole table is vegetarian."

“If you can’t get used to a completely vegetarian diet, I’ll have the maid bring you meat dishes.”
