"Have you ever heard certain sounds?" Xie Zhiyu's eyes flashed with inquiry.

If he and his aunt could hear Suishun's inner voice, then why couldn't Xie Tingsi?

Xie Tingsi thought carefully for a few seconds and shook his head firmly: "No."

“I heard no other sound.”

Xie Tingsi looked at Xie Zhiyu and suddenly realized: "Brother, don't you have time to accompany me to the hospital?"

"Well, I can go by myself."

"It's not a serious problem, my ears just feel a little itchy." Xie Tingsi said chatterbox.

Xie Zhiyu retracted his gaze and said, "I'll recommend a doctor for you. Let Uncle Lin go with you."

He added as he put on his watch.

“New project started, I don’t have time.”

After winning the bid for the project, the subsequent work became even more important. Xie Zhiyu was very strict in controlling it, almost to the point of doing it himself.

I was able to take time out of my busy schedule to attend the Meng family banquet this time.

Xie Tingsi: "Okay."

"One is a workaholic, the other is a studyaholic." He muttered, "Brother, you should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest."

He only has this one biological elder brother.

Xie Zhiyu: "After this busy period, I will take a vacation."

"I'm going to the study."

Xie Tingsi: "..."

As soon as I said I would have a holiday, I had to go to the study.

"Brother, you're a workaholic."

***

The Meng family’s birthday party was held in a private villa. Most of the invited guests were from well-connected families, and all of them were well-known figures.

In the glittering banquet hall, a luxurious and grand banquet is being held. Guests are dressed in evening gowns and socializing with each other. Laughter and music fill the entire hall.

The Xie family arrived neither too early nor too late. The moment they stepped into the hall, the scene suddenly became quiet and people's eyes unconsciously turned to this family.

The wealthy circles are well-informed. Under the deliberate manipulation of the Xie family, the news they want to spread will only be spread faster and more widely, such as the head of the Xie family meeting his true love and remarrying at all costs, the eldest son of the Xie family breaking off his engagement, the eldest daughter of the Xie family Xie Liuzheng getting divorced, etc.

Every major change in the Xie family has implications that make people want to explore.

Shen Wan stood next to the imposing boss Xie Chengyue, and was no less handsome than him. She wore a champagne satin dress with an emerald necklace, looking gentle and noble.

Rumor has it that a tycoon spent nearly 100 million on jewelry to make his wife happy. Is it true?

It seems that Mrs. Xie still holds a lot of weight in Mr. Xie's heart, as everyone exchanged knowing glances.

Xie Liuzheng held Xie Tingsi's hand and appeared in everyone's sight closely. The lavender fishtail skirt fit her figure perfectly, and there was a hint of coldness in her low-key luxury.

She seemed to have heard what Xie Tingsi said beside her. She smiled faintly, coldly and surprised. The divorce seemed to have no effect on her.

Xie Tingsi is as confident and outspoken as ever, and his smile is charming and devilish.

The two of them were talking and looking behind them at the same time.

Shen Baili was a little nervous. Her fingers tightly grasped Xie Zhiyu's sleeves, and her breathing became a little faster.

Xie Zhiyu seemed to sense her nervousness, and he patted the back of her hand gently: "Don't be afraid, Suishun, we are all here."

His voice was calm and steady, as if it carried infinite magic power, and it immediately soothed the anxious Shen Baili.

Xie Zhiyu waited patiently for her to calm down.

Shen Baili took his arm and took a deep breath: "Brother, I'm ready."

Xie Zhiyu raised his lips slightly: "Let's go."

The music is flowing, magnificent, lively but not noisy.

In a trance, Shen Baili almost thought she had come to another dimension, feeling an unreal dream.

Under the gorgeous crystal chandelier, the girl is wearing a playful white fairy dress with embroidered three-dimensional flowers on the hem. She dances lightly as she walks, like a bunch of daffodils blooming freely in the wilderness, and the crystal clear sapphire diamond necklace around her neck complements her look, light, lively, bright and generous.

Xie Zhiyu stood quietly beside her, like a knight guarding a princess.

"The dessert chef hired by the Meng family is a world-class master, and the buffet tastes very good."

Shen Baili's eyes sparkled: "Really?"

Xie Zhiyu: “Really.”

Xie Chengyue turned around, waved to Shen Baili, and said gently: "Sui Sui, come and say hello to our old friends with us."

Shen Baili came to Shen Wan's side and nodded obediently: "Okay."

Xie Zhiyu got to her side before Xie Liuzheng.

Xie Tingsi took advantage of the opportunity to take a seat: "I want to go too."

Xie Chengyue saw through their thoughts at a glance and felt a little confused.

The eldest son often handles some of Suishun's arrangements, and it is normal that they have a good relationship, but when did his extremely defensive sister and second son become so nervous about her?

What was happening out of his sight?

"Then let's go together." Xie Chengyue retracted his gaze and was pleased with the current scene.

When the family stood together, Shen Baili unknowingly became the center of attention, like a little princess surrounded by stars.

The Xie family members are both extremely good-looking and have great temperament. They attract everyone's attention without doing anything. They are born to be the focus.

People also noticed a small detail: the color of the cufflinks of the Xie man was the same as the jewelry on his female companion, which showed that he had put a lot of thought into it.

They were even more shocked when they saw Xie Chengyue bringing his family, especially Shen Wan and Shen Baili, to greet familiar friends. They didn't expect that Shen Wan, who married into a wealthy family, would secure the position of wife of the Xie family so quickly. It was obvious that her methods were extraordinary.

Shen Baili followed her mother and elder brother obediently and took a turn. Thanks to her good memory, every face corresponded to the knowledge about wealthy families she had learned.

In front of the Xie family, the bosses were very friendly to Shen Wan and Shen Baili, talking and laughing with them, and being amiable and approachable.

After a while, the task was completed. After all, there were only a few people who could be greeted personally by the boss.

Xie Tingsi was able to be patient and accompany Shen Baili to complete the social activities, and then couldn't wait to drag Shen Baili out to play.

"Xiao Lihua, I'll introduce you to some friends."

However, before Xie Tingsi could even take two steps with Shen Baili, Xie Liuzheng interrupted him: "Go and play by yourself. I'll take Sui Sui to play with my little sisters."

"There are a lot of young girls there, and you can make a lot of friends there."

Xie Tingsi: "Aunt! It was obviously me first!"

Xie Liuzheng shook the hand that was holding Shen Baili's and said, "I held it first."

"But... where does Sunshun want to go?" she asked. "We all listen to Sunshun."

She respected Shen Baili's ideas.

Shen Baili was still in shock: "I... I saw my classmates. I'll go find them and have a buffet together."

She pointed to Lu Mingqian not far away.

Xie Tingsi narrowed his eyes: "Lu family?"

Shen Baili nodded: "Yeah, he is the monitor of the class next to us, and we often do homework together."

Xie Tingsi felt relieved: "You little nerd."

Xie Liuzheng said gently: "Okay, come find us when you've had enough fun."

Xie Tingsi: "Have fun, I'll come find you later."

Shen Baili nodded heavily: "Yeah!"

Xie Tingsi thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. I'll go over and say hello to you."

He was well aware of the hidden rules of the wealthy circle and was worried that Shen Baili would be looked down upon.

…

Lu Mingqian was a little surprised to see Xie Tingsi coming with Shen Baili, and said politely: "Thank you, Second Brother."

He looked at Shen Baili again, with a familiar attitude: "Bai Li, do you want to try the dessert? It tastes good."

Ji Qi was very enthusiastic: "Hello, school beauty, I am also from Class 2, my name is Ji Qi."

Shen Baili smiled: "Hello."

Xie Tingsi: "..."

Who are these idiots?

However, is Xiao Lihua actually the school belle?

His well-behaved and lovely sister, don't let her be fooled by the yellow-haired guy. Xie Tingsi listened to the conversation between the three people cautiously, there was nothing special.

The two boys looked at each other with clear eyes. Shen Baili felt relaxed in front of them. Xie Tingsi sat for a while. His friends waved at him. Xie Tingsi reminded Shen Baili, "If you have any problems, remember to come find my second brother."

Shen Baili nodded again: "Okay."

Xie Tingsi's hands felt a little itchy and he wanted to rub the top of her head, but thinking about her look, he held back. He changed the direction of his big hands and patted her shoulder like a good friend, then earnestly instructed the two boys.

"I'm asking you to take care of my sister."

Lu Mingqian and Ji Qi were both surprised by the title of "sister" and Xie Tingsi's intimacy with Shen Baili.

Has Shen Baili been recognized by everyone in the Xie family?

Lu Mingqian smiled friendly and said, "Don't worry, Second Brother Xie, we will take good care of our friends."

Ji Qi nodded: "Yeah, yeah! We are good friends with the school beauty."

Xie Tingsi returned the space to the boys and girls and went to chat with his friends. He wanted to trick a few good partners into investing, as making a movie was still very expensive, and because the director broke the contract, the crew had stopped working for many days.

He also has to hurry up and find a suitable director.

Oh, why is it so difficult to make a good movie?

…

Ji Qi was very enthusiastic, calling her school beauty all the time, which made Shen Baili feel overwhelmed. She smiled politely, "Student Ji, just call me by my name."

She was always called the school belle in public, which made her feel ashamed.

She knew she was beautiful, but she didn't want to be a social outcast, and Ji Qi had a loud voice.

Shen Baili stopped his excessive enthusiasm in time.

Ji Qi climbed up the pole: "Then Lu Mingqian and I will both call you Baili? Is that okay?"

Shen Baili, the school beauty even has such a nice name, and she has an extremely good temper!!!

She looks like a school beauty who came out of a 2D comic!

Ji Qi had a very thick filter for Shen Baili, and at this moment he didn't know that this filter would be ruthlessly shattered in half an hour.

He looked at Shen Baili expectantly, wanting to become good friends with her.

Shen Baili: "Then I'll call you Ji Qi?"

Ji Qi smiled brightly and replied immediately: "Okay, Bai Li!"

"Are you hungry? I brought a lot of desserts, but Lu Mingqian didn't eat any of them." He began to recommend delicious food.

Shen Baili picked a piece of strawberry cake: "I'm a little hungry, thank you."

Her eyebrows are curved, her smile is sweet, and her attitude is natural and will not make people feel uncomfortable.

"You're welcome." Ji Qi picked up the chocolate cake and ate it with Shen Baili.

"You look beautiful today. The skirt suits you very well." Lu Mingqian said sincerely, his eyes clear and full of admiration.

Ji Qi nodded like a robot: "Yes, she is very beautiful, like a fairy descending from heaven."

Shen Baili accepted the compliment graciously and sipped the sweet cake: "Thank you, you guys are handsome too."

She was telling the truth. Lu Mingqian's title of No. 1 Middle School's school hunk was not earned for nothing. Ji Qi was also a young and handsome senior high school boy. Although the two of them didn't have the aura of the Xie family members when they were wearing formal attire, they had their own unique handsomeness for people of their age.

"Bai Li, there will be other friends coming over later. We will introduce them to you then."

Lu Mingqian generously shared his circle. Shen Baili understood his good intentions and did not refuse: "Okay, I'll treat you guys to dinner another day."

It is impolite to come without giving anything in return.

"Okay, okay, I want to eat barbecue, is that okay?" Ji Qi didn't know what politeness was.

Shen Baili admired his straightforward character: "Okay."

The three of them were chatting with each other, and Lu Mingqian discovered that Shen Baili was not only talented in learning, but also had his own code of conduct in interacting with people. He was neither humble nor arrogant, and was humorous and witty. He admired her very much.

The three of them chatted happily, and soon a group of rich kids gathered around them. They talked and laughed, and no one was upset.

Seeing the attitude of the Xie family, they naturally would not cause trouble for themselves.

Someone asked curiously, "I heard that the Xie and Sang families broke off the engagement because he fell in love with someone else? Is this... true?"

This question was a bit presumptuous, but it successfully piqued the interest of others. After all, it was a brainless question, so they could listen to gossip and find out information.

Everyone looked at Shen Baili, as if wanting to see her at a loss or explaining in a panic.

What kind of ability can a burden of a wealthy family have when she follows her mother to rise through the social classes?

Most people are full of malice and want to see a good show.

Lu Mingqian was about to come to the rescue when Shen Baili spoke up. She looked directly at the girl who was watching the show and said calmly, "Who told you that?"

The girl didn't expect her to ask back: "...other people say so."

Shen Baili pressed on: "Who are the others?"

The girl said to him: "I'm just curious, don't be angry."

He secretly mocked Shen Baili for not being able to take a joke.

Ji Qi couldn't help it: "Tang Tang, what are you doing?!"

Tang Tang smiled and said, "I was just joking with my new friend."

Shen Baili said calmly: "I heard that you are good at imitating dog barking?"

She uses magic to defeat magic. She is not a softie who can be bullied.

Tang Tang's expression changed immediately: "How dare you scold me? What right do you have to scold me? You..."

Lu Mingqian immediately stopped her: "Tang Tang!"

Shen Baili looked directly at Tang Tang with her watery eyes, and said in an innocent and infuriating tone: "I was joking with you too."

"You're not angry anymore, are you?"

The rich young masters and young ladies all looked at Shen Baili in shock. This time Xiao Chou became Tang Tang.

Someone couldn't help laughing, openly mocking Tang Tang, and echoed: "Tang Tang, you can take a joke, right?"

Tang Tang was so angry that her face turned blue: "You...you guys, you are going too far!"

Shen Baili said softly: "Are you really angry?"

Tang Tang shouted: "No! How could I be angry!!!"

Her reaction caused the group of young masters and young ladies to burst into laughter, but Shen Baili did not laugh.

She thought Tang Tang had some big trick up her sleeve, and that she only bullied the weak and feared the strong.

Even though these people are on her side now, they were just sitting in the well and looking at the sky, and sent out a representative to test her bottom line.

Shen Baili's eyes swept across everyone, her emotion was indifferent, and there was not a trace of smile in her beautiful eyes.

"If you are curious about why my eldest brother broke off the engagement, you can ask him in person."

"He's in the banquet hall."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and Lu Mingqian openly supported her idea.

"Bai Li's suggestion is very sincere. If you are really curious, you can try it."

Lu Mingqian's attacking power was not weak either, so Ji Qi naturally stood on his good friend's side: "Yes! Yes!"

"We were just joking, haha." someone said guiltily.

"Not curious, not curious."

"Bai Li, don't mind it, we have no ill intentions." Someone explained in a green tea tone.

…

Shen Baili watched them act quietly without saying a word.

Suddenly, the place became quiet, so quiet that you could almost hear the sound of a pin drop on the ground. The expressions of the eloquent young men from wealthy families turned strange.

Shen Baili was a little curious, and saw them looking at Shen Baili... behind her, and their attitudes instantly became respectful and gentle: "Thank you, big brother."

Xie Zhiyu nodded without changing his expression: "What are you talking about? It looks very interesting."

He saw the cynical smiles of the teenagers from a distance, but because Shen Baili had her back to her, he couldn't see her expression clearly, so he hurried over immediately.

Suishun has a gentle personality, so don't get hurt if you go against them.

The rich kids winked at each other, their acting was very poor: "Hahaha, let's just talk about what happened at school."

Just as Ji Qi was about to complain, one of his friends covered his mouth.

"Does the little boy have anything to say?"

Shen Baili didn't give them face and told them the truth: "Brother, they are curious about the reason why you broke off the engagement."

Tang Tang's lips turned pale, she was finished!

Others were also trembling with fear. If they offended the big devil, they would be doomed!

It’s all Tang Tang’s fault, that idiot!

Xie Zhiyu smiled and said, "There will be explanations at the press conference. If you are curious, you can watch the replay."

"If you are still curious about my personal affairs, you can come to me alone. I am always welcome." His eyes were deep and he looked majestic without being angry.

"We have some private matters to attend to here. I'll bring my sister over to say hello. You guys are welcome to do whatever you want."

He didn't criticize loudly, but it made people feel oppressive and chilling for some reason.

Xie Zhiyu was a protective maniac throughout the whole process. He looked at Shen Baili with a smile, gentle and reliable, completely different from how he acted when facing those rich kids.

"Sui Sui, let's go over there in a while. Aunt Shen is looking for you."

Shen Baili stood up: "Okay, big brother."

She said goodbye to the group in a friendly manner: "It's nice to meet you, new friends."

…

Shen Baili took Xie Zhiyu's hand and said, "Thank you, brother."

She knew that Xie Zhiyu was supporting her.

Xie Zhiyu: "We are family. Next time you encounter something like this, tell me directly."

"You did a great job just now. Don't feel wronged. If you have any problems, come to me."

"You can also look for big brother if you have nothing to do," he added.

Xie Zhiyu knows the parents of these children, and he plans to contact their older brothers and sisters to teach them what politeness is.

They are usually too idle, so find something for them to do.

"You are a member of the Xie family and my sister. You don't have to swallow your anger." Xie Zhiyu spoke.

Shen Baili felt warm in her heart, and her elder brother's aura instantly became more powerful than ever. She responded, "Okay, I won't let anyone bully me."

[Big brother is so good! The best big brother in the world! Serious, responsible and handsome! ! ! ]

Xie Zhiyu paused. He looked at the girl's raised mouth and felt that he had a great responsibility and could not let her down.

I hope Sui Sui can grow up healthy and happy just like her name.

There was a noise at the door of the banquet hall.

Shen Baili glanced over and saw that familiar pure and moving face: "Why is she here?"

Why is this person like chewing gum, I can’t get rid of him.

Shen Baili asked Shen Wan, and found out that the Sang family was not on the guest list for the Meng family's birthday party.

Xie Zhiyu followed her gaze and saw her ex-fiancée, Sang Ya.

He sounded the alarm; he had a feeling the other party was coming for him.

Then...he heard Shen Baili's voice again.

[Ahhhhhh Sang Ya definitely has bad intentions, she wants to scheme against big brother! ! ! !]

[No, no, they are not going to set up a honey trap again, are they?]
