Luo Xikui stared wide-eyed in astonishment at Xin Chun, finding it hard to believe that such sharp words would come from the usually kind-hearted Xin Chun.
She thought that even if Xin Chun harbored resentment and accused her of breaking her promise, she wouldn't say such hurtful and confrontational things.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?" Xin Chun looked at Luo Xi Kui with an indifferent expression, as if she was mocking her fake kindness.
Luo Xikui frowned and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Chun, do you really have to do this?"
“You’ve got everything, so you can still be an innocent and kind little princess. But I have nothing. Why should I care about your feelings?” Xin Chun suspected that Xu Ziyu’s warning to her that day was because he had received some hint from Luo Xikui. Otherwise, why would Xu Ziyu say that out of the blue?
On the surface, Luo Xikui pretended to take responsibility, but in reality, she was definitely unwilling to let Xu Ziyu misunderstand her like this. She was too stupid to believe that Luo Xikui would really take the blame.
"Xiao Chun..." Luo Xi Kui wanted to explain something, but then felt that she was being hypocritical, so she opened her mouth and then closed it.
Xin Chun sneered, picked up her teacup, and took a sip.
At this moment, Ni Sitian brought out tea and snacks, placed them on the coffee table, and smiled at Luo Xikui, saying, "Have some tea and snacks first."
"Thank you, Aunt Ni." Luo Xikui put aside her unpleasantness with Xin Chun and replied with a sweet smile.
Xin Chun glanced at Luo Xikui and her own teacup, then silently lowered her eyes. Ni Sitian had always been very kind and caring towards her; when she was little, Ni Sitian would even take her to stay here when her father went abroad on business.
However, this kindness was different from the kindness she showed to Luo Xikui. Her kindness to Luo Xikui was the kind of kindness she showed to a guest, while her kindness to Luo Xikui was genuine, treating Luo Xikui like her own child.
The teacup used by Luo Xikui also has Luo Xikui's logo sculpted on it. It is a special teacup that Ni Sitian sculpted when she was interested in pottery.
Her teacup, though exquisite, was meant for entertaining guests.
While they seem to treat everyone equally, subtle differences exist, even among Uncle Xu, Uncle Gu, and Aunt Fu. And then there's Gu Jinxuan, Gu Anran, Pei Yumeng, and Xu Ziyu—all of whom grew up together, yet there are still differences in closeness.
Luo Xikui can get everything she wants effortlessly; everything was predetermined at birth.
"Xiao Chun, Xiao Chun," Ni Sitian called softly.
Xin Chun snapped out of her daze, pursed her lips, and looked at her with a faint smile.
"You've done a great job preparing for this year's charity auction gala. I don't think there are any problems." Ni Sitian gently patted Xin Chun's hand. This charity auction gala is named after Su Yan and is held every year. The proceeds from the auction will be used to help more children.
Although Su Yan has passed away, the children's charity foundation has continued to operate for many years, and many children have received help. In previous years, Ni Sitian would participate in the preparations, but this year, seeing Xin Chun's enthusiasm for the preparations, she let her handle it herself, while Ni Sitian offered some advice from the sidelines.
That's why Xin Chun has been coming here more frequently lately.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Luo Xikui asked Ni Sitian, seeing how lively their conversation was.
“The favor you’re going to do is really big.” Ni Sitian thought for a moment and said, “How about a violin solo at the beginning? With this gimmick, we can attract more attention, and the company will be more generous in doing charity.”
Luo Xikui didn't care where she performed; she just felt that it was a good thing if her music could help others, so she nodded in agreement.
