Ning Yu has always been aloof, and she showed no reaction when she saw the necklace Shi Xi gave her.
Shi Xi looked at the necklace in her hand and said, "Then you should wear this crescent moon one. It makes you look like a bright moon, shining with clear light for miles."
Hearing Shi Xi's praise, Ning Yu turned to look at her, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Although Ning Yu has a cold personality, she can sense that the Shi family does not like her.
Compared to themselves, the real heiress who had returned from the countryside, the Shi family preferred Shi Xi, whom they had watched grow up, who was gentle, obedient, and knew how to be affectionate.
But to Ning Yu, the Shi family was like a group of strangers, and she disdained to try to please them.
Unexpectedly, Shi Xi took the initiative to come to her.
Ning Yu accepted the necklace, saying somewhat awkwardly, "Thank you."
“This is a gift from your older brother. If you want to thank him, just tell him yourself.” Shi Xi looked at her star necklace and said, “Help me put this on.”
Ning Yu looked at Shi Xi, who was very close to her, and felt somewhat uncomfortable.
But Shi Xi's eyes were bright, like bright stars in the night sky, twinkling wildly in the boundless dark sky.
Ning Yu took the necklace and put it on her.
After putting on the necklace, Shi Xi straightened the star pendant, her eyes filled with anticipation, "Does it look good?"
The girl wore a deep blue gown, and the star pendant around her neck shone brightly under the lights. But her eyes were even more dazzling; beneath her raven-feather lashes, her dark, luminous eyes resembled the North Star in the dark night.
Ning Yu's lips curled slightly, and she unconsciously revealed a doting smile. "Beautiful."
Shi Xi saw Ning Yu smile and exclaimed in surprise, "You look so beautiful when you smile!"
Ning Yu coughed. "Is there anything else?"
Shi Xi glanced at the time and reminded her, "You should change into your formal attire."
"Hmm." Ning Yu took a red evening dress out of the closet.
It was even more vibrant and beautiful than the dress Ning Yu had bought for her before.
But as soon as she took it out, Ning Yu realized something was wrong.
She lifted her skirt, her brow furrowing slightly.
The skirt, which originally had a slit that only reached the knees, is now slit all the way up to the waist.
They're completely unwearable.
Shi Xi hadn't realized that the dress had been ripped yet. With an expression of admiration, she suggested tactfully, "Isn't the slit in this skirt a bit too high?"
Ning Yu suspected that Shi Xi made the clothes as soon as she saw them.
But Shi Xi's innocent expression made it seem as if she knew nothing about it.
"It wasn't that the car was driven too high, it's that someone cut my clothes." Ning Yu lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze cold.
She's only been back at the Shi family home for a few days, and already some people are looking down on her and resorting to such underhanded tactics?
"Hiss—who could be so mean!" Shi Xi gasped and quickly said, "I didn't do it!"
How unlucky she is!
It actually appeared at a plot point where the female lead was framed!
This wasn't in the original storyline!
Ning Yu pursed her lips and remained silent.
"Oh, right, I brought back the dress I bought for you last time." Shi Xi remembered this and immediately stood up. "I'll go get it for you!"
Although Ning Yu didn't accept the clothes Shi Xi bought last time, Shi Xi still brought them back.
I didn't expect it to be useful so quickly.
But Ning Yu wouldn't suspect that she was the one who tore the clothes, would she?
Shi Xi sighed.
The female lead's life is just too unpleasant.
Fortunately, she was just a supporting actress.
whee.
While Shi Xi went to get her clothes, Ning Yu sat back down at the computer and tapped the keyboard a few times.
The screen flickered for a moment, and then the surveillance footage from the Shi family's corridor appeared.
Ning Yu's room is located at the very back of this floor, a place that other people usually don't pass by.
She brought the dress back yesterday; we just need to see who went into her room while she was away.
Upon seeing who entered her room, Ning Yu remained expressionless and exited the monitoring interface.
My phone is flashing; a message has come in.
Ning Yu glanced at it; it was a notification of an incoming payment.
