After Xiang Wan Ning flirted with Chen Yanli for a few minutes, she felt that she had completed her task and looked at the plot in the sea of ​​​​expectations, but she did not see that this plot was crossed out, and she felt disappointed.

It seems that the plot is marked as happening "at the banquet", so this plot can only be completed at the banquet. Even if she knows Shen Yanli in advance, the script is like a blind man, firmly believing that they have not met yet.

...Does this mean that the prerequisite for getting to know each other is to introduce yourself and exchange your names?

The more Xiang Wanning thought about it, the more it made sense. She tentatively grabbed the back of the front seat and said to the passenger: "Hello, my name is Xiang Wanning, what's yours?"

"..." He was silent for a while, and slowly spoke under Zhinian's urging gaze: "Chen Yanli."

Xiang Wanning opened the script again. This part of the plot still emitted a golden glow that hurt her eyes.

She suddenly remembered that the male protagonist grew up abroad and returned to China only when his grandfather became seriously ill, so she thought again: Could it be an English version? Xiang Wanning said confidently: "My name is Xiang Wanning, and yours?"

Chen Yanli: ...

That's enough.

The assistant next to him drove while gripping the steering wheel so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, and only then did he barely stop the laughter that was about to burst out.

Seeing that he was not cooperating, Xiang Wanning smacked her lips with some regret, and reluctantly confirmed her original idea: this plot could only be completed at the banquet.

Looking at the scenery flashing by outside the car window, Xiang Wanning felt a little melancholy.

[I have to go back home so soon to continue my main storyline? I wanted to take a few days off. The villain also refuses to be 007, okay! ]

She watched the following plot:

[“The day Xiang Wanning was recognized as a member of the Xiang family, she was wearing a cheap, ripped dress”]

Xiang Wanning looked down at the long skirt she was wearing. She had seen this long skirt in Xiang Zhinian's closet during the filming of the program and had shamelessly asked for it. The long skirt from L's house had nothing to do with cheap holes.

[Ahh, if I had known I would not have asked Xiang Zhinian for this dress. She must have liked this dress very much, but she didn't even want to give it to me at that time!]

Xiang Wanning wanted to slap herself twice at this moment:

【You have to owe me something! 】

Xiang Zhinian, who heard her thoughts, was sending a message to her fiancé: I wore that dress once, and I wanted to give her a new one, but she insisted on this one, saying "she has never worn clothes from this store"... Did you bring the jewelry you bought at the auction in Country Y? Chen Yanli: In the car.

Xiang Zhinian: Okay, I’ll give it to her when I get home.

Xiang Zhinian felt more and more sorry for his sister and sent another message to his friend: When you come to Xiang's house to pick up the manuscript tomorrow, please bring me one of L's current season's skirts, size M, and have them deliver it to my door.

A friend was puzzled: Aren’t you a size S?

Xiang Zhinian: I’m giving it to my sister.

Friends were shocked: What sister? You actually have a sister? Wait, your mother gave birth to you? Why didn't you tell me earlier! Let's bring some souvenirs for our sister tomorrow, but isn't the size M too big for her... No, shouldn't you design some baby clothes for her? ! Xiang Zhinian ignored his friends' messages, because at this moment, Xiang Wanning's thoughts were updated: [Is it too late for me to roll in the mud now? ]

In order to stop her from having this dangerous idea, Xiang Zhinian immediately looked at her, trying to make what he would say later more meaningful: "Your skirt is quite cheap, change it later, your mother will be unhappy if you wear it back home like this."

[That’s right! The way the system determines whether a task is completed is literal. As long as everyone thinks it’s cheap, then my task can be completed!]

System? Before Xiang Zhinian could figure out what was going on, she saw Xiang Wanning suddenly tear the corner of her skirt, and said happily in her heart: [Okay, okay, now this is just a cheap ripped dress in name only! ]

She snorted, "Yes, you only gave me such a cheap skirt, just to make me hear it."

Xiang Zhinian: ...

She began to be thankful that the skirt Xiang Wanning chose was long enough.

The assistant who saw all this in the rearview mirror silently retracted his gaze and clicked his tongue in his heart: He must be a rich person, to tear the L family's skirt when he is unhappy, just to hear a noise! ​​If this were in ancient times, how would Xiang Zhinian be any different from the tyrant who tore the silk for Mei Xi just to make her smile? -

When the Maybach finally arrived at Xiang's house, Xiang Wanning suddenly felt a little timid.

When Xiang Zhinian saw her rare look where she wasn't even pretending, his heart softened. He thought about how she had left home since she was young and wandered around. Today was her first time back, so it was inevitable that she would be a little scared.

She sent Shen Yanli away first, held her hand, and said softly, “Don’t be afraid, mom and dad are very gentle, and brother is back, they all miss you very much.”

Seeing her looking around curiously, he asked Chinen, "What are you looking at?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Xiang Wanning said coldly, "I'm just looking at my future home!"

But in her heart:

[Hmm? The Xiang family is a top-tier wealthy family, why are there only a few housekeepers and servants in the villa? ]

[No magnificent palaces, no agate-paved ground? As soon as you get off the car, a team of servants will take your luggage and say to you: "Welcome home, Miss."]

[Ah, this cold villa makes me so scared——]

Xiang Zhinian's heart sank.

Then she said:

[It was a bit cold when I rolled off the ground later]

Xiang Zhinian: ...

She decisively shook off Xiang Wanning's hand and walked into the house before her coldly.

As soon as he stepped in, he ran into Shen Yanli who was standing there eavesdropping.

He coughed lightly and covered his mouth with his hand: "I didn't hear anything."

The maid came forward to put away their changed shoes and took down their bags to take care of them.

The two of them came to the sofa in the living room and saw the others looking out the window. What caught their eyes was Xiang Wanning, who was stamping her feet and touching her chin, rehearsing her next lines in her mind.

I asked the old man, "When did she come in?"

Madam Xiang Mo Yin, who was standing by, took a sip of tea and consoled her, "We have rehearsed several times, so we should be familiar with it. We will be in soon."

Xiang Chisong first nodded to Chen Yanli as a greeting, then turned his head to look at the people outside the window, and said hesitantly: "Would it be bad if we don't go out to pick her up? What if she feels bad and thinks we don't value her..."

Xiang Zhinian, who had been tortured all the way, said: …

She told them about her and Xiang Wanning's experiences in Country Y, and vividly described Xiang Wanning's mental journey. Then she said sadly, "I just took her too seriously."

"Wan Ning just came back and is not familiar with us yet. Excessive enthusiasm may backfire." Xiang Zhinian told Yu Quezhou a negative example: "Yu Quezhou wanted to clear up the misunderstanding with her and called Wan Ning to talk. As a result, because it was just the two of them, Wan Ning thought he was going to do something bad to her."

Xiang Chisong was furious when he heard this and slammed the table and stood up: "What? Yu Quezhou, that bastard! How dare you do something bad to my sister?"

Xiang Zhinian added: "She felt that Yu Quezhou wanted to kill her."

Thinking that it was someone else who was up to no good, Xiang Chisong realized that he had misunderstood the other party and immediately sat down: "I said that Que Zhou is my brother, he definitely has no bad intentions."

Xiang Zhinian concluded: "We can go along with her if we can, but I think even if it's just a performance, we have to tell her one thing."

"We all love her very much."

Xiang Zhinian sighed and said lovingly, "I have something to tell you now..."

Xiang Wanning: ...

I suddenly felt uneasy.

She silently retracted her feet, took two steps back and walked out the door, looked up, and asked uncertainly: "Excuse me, am I going the wrong way?"

"You're not in the wrong place, Miss Wan Ning. This is it." The butler, wearing a suit and a bow tie, stretched out his white-gloved hand and took her bag. "Your luggage has been taken to your room by the servants. The master and his wife are waiting for you in the living room."

She originally planned to start yelling as soon as she entered the door, saying that no one came to greet her, and they must not value her! Then she cried heartbreakingly and said, "Why! I am obviously your biological daughter, but you would rather chat with Xiang Zhinian on the sofa than come to the door to see me. Don't you want to recognize me?"

But when the servant desperately changed her shoes and then a group of people led her to the living room, Xiang Wanning's eyes were dull and she had forgotten everything she had just rehearsed at the door.

Her toes clasped her slippers, and she felt so embarrassed that she dug out a three-bedroom apartment with her toes.

When Xiang Wanning raised her head, she saw that several people in the living room were sitting even more standardly than in a meeting, with expressionless faces, as if they were signing a 100 million yuan contract.

Such a strong sense of oppression!

Xiang Wan Ning was sweating profusely, as if she was back in her student days when she was facing a spanking from her teacher.

The housekeeper respectfully escorted her in and said to Mr. Xiang, "Miss Wan Ning is back."

Xiang Wanning closed her eyes in pain.

[Save me, someone save me]

Grandpa Xiang nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. Hearing Xiang Wanning's inner voice, he was a little puzzled and stretched out his hand to call her to him: "What's wrong? Tell grandpa?"

[What are you talking about? Don't look at me. I don't know anything! ]

[Oh my god, why am I back like this? This is weird. This doesn’t follow the procedure! ]

Mo Yin beside him immediately spoke softly: "I went to the hospital some time ago. Ahem, I was sick and needed a blood transfusion. When the blood bank was matching me, I accidentally met the doctor who examined you before. After a subsequent examination, it was found that we have the same blood type."

Xiang Wanning: ...

[What an outrageous recognition session]

So Mo Yin immediately added: "The doctor originally wanted to call you to ask, but after further examination, he found that we are related by blood, and blood transfusions cannot be performed between direct relatives, so I know that you are my biological daughter."

[…outrageous yet strangely reasonable]

Mo Yin couldn't control herself anymore and walked forward, staring at her tenderly, and put her hand on her cheek: "Good girl, don't be afraid, we're home now. I already know about the rumors on the Internet, and mom will take care of everything for you."

Xiang Tingye also came over and patted her on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Daddy is your strong backer!"

"I will take good care of my sister!" Xiang Chisong and Xiang Zhinian raised their hands to show their determination.

Finally, their eyes fell on the only outsider in the house now, as if urging him to say something.

Chen Yanli, who was stared at by several pairs of eyes: ...

Does he have a role here? He then said, "Brother-in-law too."

Xiang Wanning was surrounded by several people. She had difficulty breathing and her cheeks turned red.

Then, they cast loving glances upon her, as if encouraging her to say something.

Xiang Wanning: ...

She had never hated following the plot so much before.

She opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

It was mainly because of their appearance, Xiang Wan Ning thought. Looking at her, it was like letting her own children show their talents during the Spring Festival.

She suddenly felt a little socially anxious.

Seeing Xiang Wanning remained silent for a long time, Grandpa Xiang thought: This kid has been rehearsing alone outside for so long, right? He should be given a chance to show off.

He tapped his cane, and Xiang Tingye beside him immediately understood and said, "Wan Ning, although you are our biological daughter, we have raised Zhi Nian for twenty years, and we must not let her go."

Xiang Wanning: ...

She already calls me sister, so isn't it a bit redundant for you to say this?

Even though her face was red with embarrassment, she continued, "Why? I am obviously your biological daughter, but you would rather chat with Xiang Zhinian on the sofa... No."

Instantly reciting the lines that she had rehearsed before, Xiang Wan Ning immediately changed her words when the situation was not right: "You are willing to keep her at home, don't you want to recognize me back?"

The more she spoke, the softer her voice became, and she no longer had the confidence she had before.

When he finally finished speaking, Xiang Wanning saw the plot that had been crossed out on the script. She felt like the days had passed so slowly and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

[Finally, the story of my first visit to Xiang's house has ended. I really want to rest now.]

[Today's shocks are too many! ]

She didn't even have the energy to look at everyone's reactions, as if all her energy had been sucked away in an instant.

Hearing Xiang Wanning's thoughts, Mo Yin looked at her with heartache. Knowing that there was no rush, he asked the housekeeper to take her back to the room that had been prepared for her.

Along the way, the servants lined up to see her off, their greetings floating in the air:

"Hello, Miss Wan Ning!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Wan Ning!"

"Welcome home, Miss Wan Ning!"

“…”

Xiang Wanning had a wooden face and returned to his room in a daze. He had no extra mood to look at the environment of his new home. He just buried his head under the pillow and roared in his heart:

「Ahhhhhh——」

The people downstairs smiled with satisfaction.

"Look how excited she is. She's even shouting with excitement!"

"She must be very happy with the room I decorated for her!"

"Zhinian still understands her. Look at how she arranged everything. Wan Ning is as obedient as a sheep. She must like it very much!" Xiang Chisong sighed, "My sister may have been wandering outside for too long. We have to take care of her late adolescence! It doesn't matter if she is a little bit immature! If she likes it, we will arrange it for her!"

In the middle of the night, Xiang Wanning, who was arranged to stay, woke up from her sleep, recalled what happened today, angrily hammered the mattress, and asked:

No, they are sick, right?
