The image of the soft, sweet little girl in their memories, who would slowly run towards them and obediently call them "brother," is fading further and further away.
The current Shengyue feels somewhat unfamiliar.
When exactly did things start to turn out this way, or did they never understand Sheng Yue at all?
Sheng Yue's expression changed slightly. "Second brother, I'm just a little envious."
"While you were consumed by jealousy over a status, Xinghe has risen to his current position through his own abilities."
Sheng Lao Er pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses with one hand. "You used Xinghe's identity to receive her favor for more than ten years. Among everyone here, you are the least qualified to be jealous of her."
What Sheng Yue hates most is when people talk about this.
The ruthlessness in her eyes was almost tangible.
This time she was smarter; she lowered her head so that no one else could see the look in her eyes.
"I know, it's all my fault."
"Sheng Lao Er, I'll give you a piece of advice since we've lived together for so long: take care of yourself."
After saying that, Sheng Lao Er stepped forward to act as Xinghe's bodyguard.
There are too many people on her side, so he needs to go and keep an eye on things to put his mind at ease.
The old man of the Qi family, supported by his son and daughter, slowly walked over.
"You've arrived."
Ye Ning and Grandpa Qi had a good relationship, so Ye Ning helped him up and said, "Uncle Qi, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"Given the special circumstances, the fact that you're all alright is already a great blessing."
Grandpa Qi shifted his gaze to Xinghe, "I never expected that your daughter would actually be a fairy."
Xinghe smiled and said, "Grandpa Qi, just call me Xinghe."
"Your name has been widely known lately, but I never expected to meet you here."
Old Master Qi's eyes flickered slightly.
They were determined to stick together with the Sheng family.
The Sheng family are people who know how to repay kindness. They only helped the Sheng family once out of various considerations, which led the Qi family to its current status.
Now that the Sheng family has Xinghe, he is certain that only by aligning themselves with the Sheng family can they go further and achieve greater things.
Such banquets are merely a pretext for celebrating birthdays; the primary purpose is business dealings.
Grandpa Qi didn't want to spoil the mood, so after saying a few simple words, he began to entertain guests.
Tonight, the Sheng family is the busiest.
Xinghe is generally quite nice to people he doesn't dislike.
If they really need her help, Xinghe will never hesitate to help if she can.
She also explained her rules in advance, clearly stating the prices.
The amount that is due is the amount that should be accepted; not a single penny more can be taken.
Those who secretly wanted to bribe Xinghe to get closer to him were somewhat disappointed, but for most people, they genuinely wanted Xinghe to help them take a look.
They offer feng shui consultations, fortune telling, and solutions for unnatural events in the home...
There have never been fewer people in front of Xinghe.
However, upon hearing the news that the payment had been received, Xinghe was full of energy.
Ye Ning and Sheng Xiuwen were also drinking and discussing business.
They chatted and laughed, and set out a development plan for Beijing's business community for the next ten years.
The other brothers also had quite a few people around them.
Only the full moon.
Sheng Yue's identity is somewhat awkward.
If Xinghe is the real heiress, then Shengyue is the fake heiress who has taken over her identity.
Normally, raising another person wouldn't be a big deal for the Sheng family, since they've raised them for so many years and have developed feelings for them.
However, the incident of Sheng Yue jumping off the building was quite complicated.
Sheng Yue's fans are also inexplicably annoying.
To be honest, if their family encountered something like this, they wouldn't like Sheng Yue either.
It's just a family matter for the Sheng family, so they shouldn't say anything.
They wanted to befriend Xinghe, so naturally they couldn't get too close to Shengyue.
Therefore, Sheng Yue was intentionally or unintentionally ignored.
This is the first time Sheng Yue has been ignored in this kind of situation.
Embarrassment, jealousy, and resentment all welled up in my heart.
You promised me, when will Xinghe die?
The evil spirit coaxed, "I've contacted a good brother of mine, it'll be soon, really soon, in less than a week."
Sheng Yue felt very irritable.
This was her last resort; she had no choice but to trust the magic touch hidden in the jade pendant.
"Master, people from the Jiang family have arrived."
"The Jiang family?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall stopped talking.
The Jiang family has long been secluded from the world, and even they know very little about them.
They are very strong and very powerful.
Having been passed down for over a thousand years, what they present to the public is merely the tip of the iceberg.
That's just the tip of the iceberg, yet it's already terrifying enough. It's unimaginable how much true power and resources the Jiang family possesses.
Grandpa Qi immediately got up and, with their help, walked towards the door.
Before Old Master Qi could reach the door, three people entered.
Jiang Yezhou walked at the very front.
He was wearing a black overcoat today, and his long white hair was flowing gently.
He had a high, straight nose, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, deep black eyes, and slightly pale lips. When he saw Xinghe, he smiled at her.
He stood there, and everything around him began to seem unreal.
"Jiang family, Jiang Yezhou, congratulates Old Master Qi on his birthday."
The person behind him handed him something.
Jiang Yezhou said gently, "I have prepared a small gift, and I hope that Old Master Qi will not find it offensive."
"It is an honor for the Qi family that Patriarch Jiang has come to visit. Please, please take a seat."
Grandpa Qi was also surprised to find that the current head of the Jiang family was so young.
Invitations to all events in Beijing are sent to the Jiang family.
However, the Jiang family never appeared.
This may be the first time the head of the Jiang family has appeared on such an occasion.
Grandpa Qi, beaming with pride, gestured an invitation.
Sheng Lao Er frowned. "Is Teacher Jiang the head of the Jiang family?"
"Mom and Dad, why did you hire him to teach Xinghe English?"
Ye Ning was also completely bewildered. "We originally hired a well-known English teacher in Beijing, but then that teacher had some family matters to attend to, and she recommended another one. We saw that his resume was quite excellent, so we hired him."
They only knew his surname was Jiang, but they didn't know he was from the Jiang family!
Sheng Lao Er said coldly, "Why would the head of the Jiang family need to tutor people in English? I think he has ulterior motives."
"Who knows what he's up to? Did the previous English teacher really have some family troubles?"
Ye Ning stared at Jiang Yezhou for a few moments, then said with certainty, "He's a good person, right, sister?"
Xinghe didn't even blink; Jiang Yezhou's outfit had reached a new level of handsomeness.
How can someone look like that?
I really want to steal it back and hide it.
Xinghe's limited sense of morality restrained her.
She nodded frantically, "Brother Ye Zhou is a good person!"
"Besides, I know who Brother Ye Zhou is."
You know?
"I know, but you guys don't?"
Xinghe blinked her cat-like eyes innocently, "I thought you all knew."
