"Wow……"
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, and Xia Jing's vanity instantly exploded. She raised her head even higher, like a proud peacock, happily enjoying everyone's envious gazes.
However, when she glanced down lightly, she found that the guests' heads were turned elsewhere and they were not looking at her!
Lin Xinhui also noticed it. She followed the guests' gaze and saw a perfect couple walking in from the door. The young man was wearing a suit and tie, and the dark color added a bit of steady charm to his handsomeness. The young woman was wearing a fishtail dress, which was embellished with diamonds just right. Under the light, she was even more sparkling, and she was so beautiful that she seemed to be glowing.
Lin Xinhui paused, thinking she had seen it wrong. She subconsciously narrowed her eyes and looked carefully again.
Because she was far away, she couldn't see the young woman's appearance clearly, but from the general outline, she had the illusion that she saw her sister-in-law Su Yu.
Yu Beiting and Shen Qinghuan arrived late, and as soon as they came in, they attracted everyone's attention.
No one paid attention to the birthday girl Xia Jing.
"Isn't that Yu Beiting? Isn't he in S City? He actually came to the capital to attend the birthday party of the Shen family's daughter."
For this kind of banquet, people from far away places may not necessarily come even if they are invited.
"Who's the woman next to him? She's so beautiful!"
"I remember now. Do you still remember the Queen of Shadows?"
Speaking of Shen Wanning, who wouldn't sigh? Such a dignified movie queen, yet she did so many evil things. After the trial, reporters issued a press release, revealing everything Shen Wanning had done.
"The victim of the Shen Wanning incident is her. Her name is Shen Qinghuan, and the screenwriter Mo Shangshuang is her."
"She seems to be Yu Beiting's ex-wife?"
"When did Yu Beiting get married?"
"Secret marriage, huh?"
Some people were whispering, but everyone envied Shen Qinghuan. Those who knew the business had already recognized that the dress Shen Qinghuan was made by Master Ryan.
"The jewelry on her neck is also Mira's work!"
Everyone sighed again.
Shen Qinghuan smiled slightly, took Yu Beiting's hand, and walked in step by step.
With the carpet under her feet and facing everyone's gaze, Shen Qinghuan actually had the illusion that she was walking on the red carpet.
It’s just... my feet really hurt.
Yu Beiting lowered his head slightly and asked distressedly: "Does it hurt?"
Shen Qinghuan subconsciously tightened her grip on his hand due to the pain, but she didn't realize that she was hurting Yu Beiting. She still managed to hold back and shook her head, "I can hold on."
Yu Beiting moved, wanting to carry her in, but Shen Qinghuan held him tighter: "No, there are too many people."
Yu Beiting frowned slightly and did not insist any longer.
"Mr. Yu." An acquaintance came forward to greet him.
Yu Beiting put on a businesslike smile and nodded slightly.
On the stairs, Xia Jing froze, her expression stiff, and then some cracks appeared on her face.
Isn’t Shen Qinghuan already dead?
Why is she here now?
Xia Jing's mind was in a mess.
A quick flash of panic passed through her eyes.
"Xiao Jing, what's wrong?" Lin Xinhui noticed Xia Jing standing still and looking pale, so she asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"
When Xia Jing heard the voice of her aunt Lin Xinhui, she came back to her senses and shook her head slightly.
"No, no, aunt, let's go down quickly. Grandpa, grandma, and dad must be waiting anxiously."
Xia Jing lowered her head, her steps were a little messy, and she almost fell down the stairs. It was Lin Xinhui who held her steadily.
Lin Xinhui worried: "Xiao Jing..."
"I'm fine, aunt." Xia Jing calmed herself down. Even if Shen Qinghuan was still alive, she was the daughter of the Shen family now.
Xia Jing looked up and glanced at Xia Dongquan and Wang Cuifen. Wang Cuifen was also looking at her at a loss. She gave Wang Cuifen a look and Wang Cuifen understood immediately.
Xia Jing calmed herself down, took Lin Xinhui's arm and went downstairs, and came to the Su family and Shen Qihao.
"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, second uncle, second aunt." Xia Jing called out sweetly.
Mr. Su smiled and took out a gift: "This is your grandma and I's birthday present for you."
This year is the first birthday of his granddaughter who has been away from home for so many years. Grandpa Su carefully selected a gift for her.
Then Su Yiguang and Su Wenkai also gave gifts to Xia Jing.
"Xiao Jing, this is a gift from me." Cousin Su Xu took out a beautifully packaged jewelry box and handed it to Xia Jing.
Su Xu is the eldest grandson of the Su family and the son of Su Yiguang and Lin Xinhui. He is handsome and has a gentle temperament that makes people feel at ease. His voice is even more gentle. Now he leads a team in his own company to do drug research. He is not only the heir to the Su Group, but also a hot new star in Beijing.
"Thank you, cousin." Xia Jing took it obediently.
She couldn't help but glance at Shen Qinghuan out of the corner of her eye.
Wang Cuifen had already rushed to Shen Qinghuan.
"Little hoof, what are you doing here? Don't even think about causing trouble. Get out of here right now!"
Wang Cuifen reached out to pull Shen Qinghuan.
Today is a big day for her daughter Xia Jing, and Shen Qinghuan must not ruin it.
As soon as she stretched out her hand, it was grabbed by Yu Beiting. Then there was a slight "click" sound. Wang Cuifen opened her mouth and screamed in pain half a beat late.
"Ah..." The screams like a pig being slaughtered spread throughout the hall.
Everyone's scalp was numbed by the shock.
Yu Beiting shook off Wang Cuifen's hand. Wang Cuifen's wrist was drooping and was dislocated.
Wang Cuifen's face turned pale and she took two steps back. Xia Dongquan was behind her and she bumped into him. Xia Dongquan was angry and cowardly when he saw that Yu Beiting had broken his wife's hand.
But he and his daughter Xia Jing are together. If Shen Qinghuan knew that Xia Jing pretended to be her and became the daughter of the Shen family, then his days of wealth and prosperity would be in vain.
He doesn't want to live a life of being chased for debt anymore.
Xia Dongquan's eyes were red, and his wealth gave him courage.
"You, you guys are so lawless. My wife didn't do anything, and you actually broke her hand. You... I, I'm going to call the police!"
"And you, you bitch, you and your mistress hurt your mother together, do you still have a conscience?"
Xia Dongquan resorted to moral blackmail again. Seeing everyone looking at him, he rolled his eyes and shouted, "Look everyone, it's this little bitch. She doesn't care about the life or death of her biological parents. Back in S City, she refused to support us and even had the police arrest us and send us to the detention center."
"Now that we've arrived in the capital, we've finally managed to live a decent life with our adopted daughter. She's kind and conscientious, and she remembers our kindness and gives us a nice house to live in. Now that our biological daughter knows we're rich, she's come knocking on our door, wanting to play on the swing."
"You actually came to the party and tried to ruin the Shen family's daughter's birthday party."
Shen Qinghuan watched Xia Dongquan's performance quietly.
The surroundings were very quiet. After Xia Dongquan stopped, he found something wrong.
