Ling's mother wants to throw a banquet for Nanzhi.
She didn't tell Ling Xuexuan that she had specially found a designer to style Nan Zhi and even paired her with a fishtail dress that suited her perfectly.
The black fishtail dress perfectly accentuated Nam-chi's figure.
Unfortunately, Nam-chi has some scars on her body.
Ling's mother felt very sorry for him and asked the designer to cover it all up with makeup.
In the full-length mirror, Nanzhi has a gentle appearance and an exquisite figure, like a beautiful mermaid.
Ling's mother praised, "Not bad, really beautiful. You'll be even more confident if you smile a little more."
Nanzhi smiled happily.
Ling Xuexuan was unaware that her mother had done these things behind her back, and she was very agitated.
Lin Yi's attitude towards her became increasingly cold, and he didn't reply to her messages several times.
When I called, they just gave me a perfunctory answer.
She thought maybe she should give him the cold shoulder, so she stopped paying attention to him.
But Lin Yi did not change because of this.
She stared at the chat history on WeChat that hadn't been updated in a few days, and threw her phone away in frustration.
Ling Xuexuan only found out about the banquet her mother was going to hold on the day it was to take place.
Ling's mother held the banquet to celebrate that she and Nanzhi had finally woken up.
Ling Xuexuan didn't think much of it and dressed up before going.
But when she arrived, she discovered that Nanzhi was dressed even more eye-catching and beautifully than she was.
Seeing that the gazes that used to be directed at her had shifted to Nan Zhi, she frowned deeply, and her jealousy began to surface uncontrollably.
She wanted nothing more than to tear Nan Zhi's clothes to shreds, but at this moment, she could only suppress her emotions and pretend to be nonchalant as she picked up a glass of champagne.
She walked up to Cao Yao and gave her a look.
Cao Yao knew that she was trying to use her as a pawn again.
She nodded in a perfunctory manner, picked up a small cake, and walked towards Nanzhi.
Ling Xuexuan was waiting to see the cake stain Nan Zhi's dress, but at the crucial moment, Cao Yao twisted her ankle and was helped to the side by a waiter to rest because of the pain.
She went to find Xie Huaiwei again, but Xie Huaiwei couldn't see through her hints.
He even asked her loudly, "Sister Xuexuan, what's wrong with your eyes?"
Ling Xuexuan: ……
The banquet music suddenly stopped, and an elegant and mature voice rang out.
"Thank you all very much for attending this dinner. I have something important to announce."
Ling's mother smiled and looked at everyone present.
Suddenly, her gaze fell on Nanzhi in the crowd. She reached out to Nanzhi, who walked up to her lightly in her high heels.
Ling Xuexuan looked at this scene and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
She stepped forward, about to stop her, when she heard Ling's mother say, "You may not know, but my daughter went missing when she was eight years old. Now I have finally found her. She is the one next to me, my blood-related daughter, Ling Yihe."
The entire audience was shocked by these words.
Ling Xuexuan almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
She stood stiffly in the audience, feeling as if she were being tortured by someone's gaze.
"So Ling Xuexuan isn't really the eldest daughter of the Ling family after all."
"Tsk tsk, the real heiress and the fake heiress, how interesting."
"Since Ling Xuexuan isn't the real heiress, what about their marriage alliance with the Lin family? Who will it belong to?"
"Then she must be a real heiress."
In response to everyone's questions, Ling's mother also provided an explanation.
"Regarding the engagement with the Lin family, I think we should respect the children's opinions and let them decide for themselves."
Ling's mother did not explicitly state who she wanted to be engaged to the Lin family.
She was actually giving Ling Xuexuan face.
She also considered that since Ling Xuexuan and Lin Yi were already dating, it wouldn't be good to let Nan Zhi interfere.
So she turned the conversation to Lin Yi, hoping he would give her an answer. If Lin Yi really didn't choose Nan Zhi, then she would find Nan Zhi someone with a similar family background to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was already too surprised to react to what Nan Zhi and Ling's mother had said that night.
After regaining his composure, he walked onto the stage and said into the microphone, word by word, "Regarding the engagement, I think we should stick to the one we made when we were children."
Lin Yi's words caused an uproar.
Ling Xuexuan turned pale and almost fainted.
No, this is not the result she wanted.
She rushed forward, about to speak, when Nanzhi spoke up...
"As everyone knows, my sister and Mr. Lin have been together for some time now. I wish them well, so I choose to step aside."
Another uproar ensued.
Lin Yi looked at Nan Zhi incredulously. He moved his lips, wanting to say something several times, but couldn't because of the situation.
Ling Xuexuan, however, was not very happy.
What kind of good person is Nan Zhi pretending to be? Does she think that if she gives up her position to her, Nan Zhi will be grateful to her?
What upset Ling Xuexuan even more was that her father gave Nanzhi a luxury car worth tens of millions of yuan.
They said it was a gift for Nanzhi after she finished learning to drive.
Ling Xuexuan was too lazy to drive, so she never learned to drive and her father never gave her a luxury car.
Seeing that her parents cared more and more about Nanzhi, and that those who used to fawn over her were now fawning over Nanzhi, Ling Xuexuan was furious, but she could only grit her teeth and pretend to be generous.
Nan Zhi felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach. After exchanging pleasantries with the people who came to find her at the banquet, she quickly went to the restroom.
On the way, she caught a glimpse of a stunning figure out of the corner of her eye, but when Nanzhi turned around to look, her view was blocked by the passing guests.
She ignored it and walked into the bathroom, lifting her skirt.
