The expressions on everyone's faces remained varied and interesting until Ning Yu left.
Shi Xi stepped forward and turned off the music box.
Leng Qiankun slammed his hand heavily on the card table in anger, knocking the stack of chips to the ground.
Now, even Tao Yuxuan didn't dare to speak.
The others wanted to leave but dared not speak, so they could only look to Shi Xi for help.
Shi Xi sighed helplessly, "Let's call it a day. I'll host a party for everyone next time."
This sound, like heavenly music, saved everyone from dire straits.
Leng Qiankun replied, "Since we're already here, let's not do it again next time."
His welcome banquet was postponed from yesterday to today, and it's still turned out like this today.
The group stopped in their tracks.
Shi Xi looked at Leng Qiankun: "I have something to say to you."
Leng Qiankun pursed his lips, sat back down, and turned his head away.
Tao Yuxuan waved her hand, signaling the others to leave quickly.
Everyone hurriedly ran away, fearing that if they were even a second too late, they would be unable to escape.
Shi Xi sat opposite him and asked, "Did you set this up today to win Ning Yu's money?"
Although it was a question, Shi Xi used an affirmative tone.
Leng Qiankun said angrily, "If she dares to bully you, I won't let her get away with it!"
Shi Xi looked at Tao Yuxuan and said, "I remember telling you that Ning Yu didn't bully me and that you shouldn't target her."
The girl spoke calmly, but her eyes held a seriousness unlike anything she had ever shown before.
“I told Leng Qiankun…” Tao Yuxuan felt like she was being lectured for doing something wrong.
"I have to take responsibility for my actions. I underestimated Ning Yu this time, and I admit defeat." Leng Qiankun's eyes were fierce. "I will never let her off the hook next time!"
Shi Xi leaned back in her chair, fiddling with the music box.
She hadn't expected Ning Yu to send her a music box.
Shi Xi flipped the music box over and saw the price tag underneath.
598r
This broken music box costs six hundred yuan?
That's enough for her to eat spicy hot pot so many times!
"Shi Xixi, are you worried about me?" Leng Qiankun had by now recovered from his losing streak.
He only lost five million, which wasn't much money to him.
What bothered him was simply losing face in front of Shi Xi.
But if it makes Shi Xi worry about him, Leng Qiankun feels that losing money is not a big deal.
"No, I'm worried about Ning Yu." Shi Xi raised her eyes and said seriously, "I don't know what rumors are circulating outside, but there has never been any bullying relationship between Ning Yu and me."
I hope you won't use the guise of 'standing up for me' to do things that make me unhappy.
At this point, Shi Xi glanced at Tao Yuxuan again.
She absolutely does not believe that Tao Yuxuan didn't get involved in today's events!
These two have always been perfect partners: one commits murder and arson, the other disposes of the body.
A true cannon fodder duo.
"Well, I haven't done anything lately," Tao Yuxuan said guiltily, looking away.
She's the one who practically tricked Ning Yu into coming here today.
Shi Xi then looked at Leng Qiankun.
Leng Qiankun lowered his eyes, and when he looked up again, a sinister glint appeared in them. "But I can't tolerate you being bullied! If it weren't for her, you would still be the young lady of the Shi family! Still the princess in everyone's hearts!"
"...Wake up, the Qing Dynasty is long gone." Shi Xiren, this immature young man, has been like this for a long time.
She wouldn't have wasted her breath if it weren't for the fact that they were both supporting characters.
“But what I want has never been these empty titles and flattery.” Shi Xi chuckled, her eyes sparkling with a dazzling light. “I am not the true heiress of the Shi family, I am not as perfect as you all think. I am arrogant, greedy, cowardly, and cold-hearted.”
The girl's voice was sweet and soft, and when she talked about her weaknesses, she spoke calmly as if she were describing someone else.
Shi Xi tilted her head and smiled slightly, "Losing the identity of the Shi family's daughter has no impact on me."
What you care about regarding 'others' opinions' and 'Shi Xi's downfall' is, in my opinion, utterly worthless.
All I want is to live a free and happy life, and to make the people around me happy.
Instead of becoming a puppet in the eyes of others.
