The Fake Heiress's Explosive Rise in the Entertainment Industry

Shi Xi: "My new movie needs your support. If the box office doesn't exceed 500 million, I'll have to go back and inherit a family fortune of hundreds of billions." Netizens: Stop dr...

Chapter 17 Baldness is a genetic trait.

Mrs. Sheng was both amused and annoyed. "Xiaoxi, you and Sheng Yan grew up together, you're a perfect match. I've watched you grow up, you're beautiful and sensible, we like you so much, why would we call off the engagement now?"

Shi Xi was moved, but she had to break off the engagement!

"Thank you, Uncle and Aunt, but Sheng Yan and I are not meant to be. The annulment of the engagement has nothing to do with my identity," Shi Xi said firmly.

Sheng Yan leaned back on the sofa, toying with a lighter in his hand, his expression lazy and indifferent. "Since that's the case, then our engagement is null and void."

He wouldn't give Shi Xi a chance to back down and then advance!

"You unfilial son, shut up!" Father Sheng said angrily.

"Sheng Yan, did you bully Xiao Xi and make her come to break off the engagement?" Sheng's mother guessed from the side.

Sheng Yan didn't even light a cigarette, and frowned, denying, "I didn't."

Shi Xi also explained from the side, "This is my own decision, and it has nothing to do with Sheng Yan."

Mr. Sheng was even angrier. "Xi'er, don't take his side! I'm going to beat him up today and let him know who's in charge in the Sheng family!"

Sheng Yan: ?!

Seeing that Sheng's father was really about to make a move, Shi Xi quickly tried to stop him, "Uncle, calm down, this is really me—"

Halfway through her sentence, Shi Xi accidentally touched Sheng's father's hair.

So, he knocked off Sheng's father's wig.

The scene was stunned once again.

Shi Xi picked up the wig and handed it back to Sheng's father with both hands, saying, "I'm sorry, Uncle, I didn't mean to!"

Sheng's father: ...

Mrs. Sheng quickly tried to ease the tension, "It's alright, it's alright, let's go to the restaurant first."

Shi Xi grabbed her bag and ran away quickly.

As Sheng's mother and Shi Xi got closer, the large gold bracelet was attracted to Shi Xi's bag.

Mother Sheng lowered her head in confusion.

Shi Xi was stunned, and took out the magnetic ring she had bought from her bag.

Without the bag as a barrier, the magnetic ring happily stuck to Sheng's mother's large gold bracelet.

Three minutes later.

Shi Xi and Sheng Yan stood at the entrance of the Sheng family's house.

The two exchanged a glance, their feelings a mix of emotions, and both saw the complexity in each other's eyes.

Mr. and Mrs. Sheng were not in a good mood and did not invite the two to stay for dinner.

Not kicking them out is already the greatest tolerance an elder can show to a younger generation.

Sheng Yan glanced at Shi Xi and said coldly, "Stop pretending. No matter how much you try to play the victim, I will not marry you."

"Why should I play the victim? I really am miserable, okay?" Shi Xi thought about her experiences over the past few days—it really was terrible!

It's so tragic that it could be categorized as a tragic novel if written about it.

"Heh, if we're talking about tragic, the Shi family's own daughter who swapped lives with you is the one who's truly tragic, isn't she?" Sheng Yan said coldly.

In Sheng Yan's view, Shi Xi came today to break off the engagement just to play the victim and get Sheng's parents to get the two of them engaged as soon as possible.

Shi Xi was silent for a moment, then said, "Everyone's in a bad situation. Take you for example, you can't even decide your own marriage. Aren't you miserable?"

Sheng Yan was speechless with anger: "You!"

Shi Xi spread her hands, "Besides me, I was originally a favored daughter of heaven, but overnight I became a fake heiress, and I don't know how others are laughing at me behind my back."

Sheng Yan fell silent.

Shi Xi was his fiancée in name only. Many people privately approached him, urging him to call off the engagement and sever ties with the fake heiress.

"Don't worry, I know you don't like it, I won't bother you anymore." Shi Xi glanced at the time. "I'm leaving now."

Sheng Yan said sullenly, "I'll take you."

The Sheng family villa was in a remote area, making it difficult to hail a taxi. Shi Xi did not refuse and got into Sheng Yan's car.

As she was getting off the bus, Shi Xi hesitated for a moment, but finally advised, "You should take care of your hair too!"

The gene for baldness is hereditary.
