Chapter 160 The Banquet Begins

What can Xia Linxing do?

Can you still say that you don’t want to?

Even his original self had always pretended to be a good boy in front of the Xia family, so facing such a sincere request from Xia's mother, Xia Linxing could only agree reluctantly.

So the upper circles soon knew that the Xia family was going to hold a banquet.

As for the purpose of the banquet, everyone knew it well.

The Xia family wants to welcome back their biological son, and the Xia family wants to welcome the real young master of the Xia family.

As for the original fake?

Everyone looked like they were enjoying the show.

…

The day of the banquet soon arrived.

The manor located halfway up the mountain was brightly lit, and the huge iron gate was opened early to welcome the luxury cars in.

In the elaborately decorated banquet hall, the men's suits and ties complemented the women's gorgeous clothes and jewelry. The brightly dressed guests held wine glasses and chatted elegantly in low voices.

But the content of their conversation was not very elegant:

"It seems the Xia family values ​​that real young master very much... They actually chose to hold the banquet in this manor..."

"Isn't that nonsense? Which one is the biological son... They didn't know about it before and raised a fake one for 20 years. Now that they know their own flesh and blood has been suffering outside, they have to rush to bring him back!"

"There's no problem in bringing him back...but the problem is..." The guest who was speaking raised his chin towards the corner, "what should we do with that person from the Xia family?"

Another guest looked in the direction he pointed, and a similar expression of anticipation appeared on his face: "Who knows..."

"But since he's still here, he must have stayed... After all, the Xia family is wealthy and can afford to support one more person."

"Of course I can afford to support her, but... isn't it awkward for Xia Linxing to stay here?"

"It's better to be embarrassed than to be out on the streets, right?"

The two looked at each other, clinked their glasses lightly, and smiled knowingly.

"Star……"

Xia Linxing was lazing around in a corner of the banquet hall, secretly eating snacks from the snack table, when he heard someone calling him from behind.

Xia Linxing turned around and, as expected, saw Shen Sibai with a complicated expression.

Ever since Shen Sibai was recognized, Xia Linxing had been deliberately avoiding him to ensure a smooth transition to the next plot. After all, he couldn't say harsh words to him like in the original novel: "Not only did you steal my debut spot, you also stole my parents!" or "You're a thief who only knows how to steal other people's things." He also didn't want to deliberately act out of character and embarrass his father and mother, who were so kind to him, so he could only avoid Shen Sibai.

Anyway, all he needs to do in the end is to break away from the Xia family.

As for whether he left on his own or was kicked out, System 999 said that the judgment is not that strict.

However, this also made Shen Sibai mistakenly think that Xia Linxing was dissatisfied and had opinions about his arrival, so these days Shen Sibai has been trying to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Xia Linxing.

It’s a pity that Xia Linxing is like a slippery fish. Every time she sees him, she slips away quickly, either hiding in the room or going out to play until she is out of sight, leaving him no chance.

So today, it was the first time that Shen Sibai caught Xia Linxing in these days.

Shen Sibai fully understood Xia Linxing's attitude of avoiding him and not wanting to see him. After all, when Xia's father and mother came to his house and said that they were his biological parents, Shen Sibai was no less surprised than the netizens who were watching the show.

It is conceivable that when Xia Linxing found out that the people he had called mom and dad for so many years were not his mom and dad, he would be devastated. So Shen Sibai could completely understand and even felt sorry for Xia Linxing.

So he always wanted to have a good talk with Xia Linxing about this issue.

He wanted to tell Xia Linxing that he was happy to be his brother and happy to be a family with him.

It’s just that Xia Linxing doesn’t want to see him.

Today was the first time in these days that Shen Sibai caught Xia Linxing.

"I……"

It was not until he actually stood in front of Xia Linxing that Shen Sibai realized that the words he had prepared were not so easy to say.

He suddenly felt like a hypocrite. After taking away everything from Xia Linxing, he still comforted her in a condescending and high-sounding manner, telling her not to be afraid.

In particular, Xia Linxing still looked sad with tears in her eyes and red rims.

Xia Linxing waited patiently for a long time, but never heard the second half of Shen Sibai's words. She couldn't help but look over with some surprise.

Then he met Shen Sibai's distressed and guilty gaze.

...heartache and guilt?

Xia Linxing suddenly reacted. He looked down at the pastry in his hand and guessed that Shen Sibai had probably misunderstood.

He just casually picked up a crispy pastry from the pastry tower and put it in his mouth. Who would have thought that this pastry was mustard-flavored? He was saying how come the crispy pastries were so colorful and beautiful? He even picked out the unusual light green one!

Especially since the pastry tasted like a normal custard when it was put into the mouth, but it was only after biting it that the mustard flavor rushed straight to the top of the head. By the time Xia Linxing reacted, the broken custard had already stuck to his tongue and the inner wall of his mouth, making it impossible for Xia Linxing to spit it out.

So he could only accept the taste shock with tears in his eyes, and then he was seen by Shen Sibai.

The fake young master huddled alone in a corner (actually to steal food and slack off), his eyes red and tearful (from the spicy mustard), coupled with the theme of today's banquet (announcing the return of the real young master)...

Um……

Xia Linxing thought a little guilty.

It seems...it seems that it is indeed easy to be misunderstood...
