“Okay, if he needs anything, we can talk about it again.” Shi Xi guessed that there must be some hidden agenda.
If it's about money, then that's fine.
But what if it's for other reasons?
Shi Xi thought for a moment, and damn it, she didn't have much money left!
We have no money, and we won't give you your life.
Life is so hard.
As Shi Xi was deep in thought, Hua Ruoling strode over.
Hua Ruoling changed into a little black dress, which accentuated her elegance even more.
"Shi Xi, what a coincidence, to run into you here." Hua Ruoling's smile was flawless, showing no trace of her embarrassment just now. "But I remember, this is my banquet, and I didn't invite you."
Upon hearing this, the way those who overheard Shi Xi looked at her immediately changed.
Uninvited?
That's so shameless!
Those with keen insight know that Hua Ruoling dislikes Shi Xi, which is why she's acting difficult.
Shi Xi's eyes curved into a smile as she changed the subject, saying, "Miss Hua's banquet was very well organized."
“My mom hosted the banquet for me, so of course it’s nice.” Hua Ruoling raised her chin slightly, her gaze unfriendly as she looked at Shi Xi.
The girl next to Hua Ruoling asked in surprise, "Ruoling said she didn't invite you, why aren't you leaving yet?"
Shi Xi glanced in Hua Xuanhe's direction and said, "I came with President Hua, and we'll leave together later."
If it weren't for the movie, she would have turned and left.
Hua Ruoling's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "Did you think that by bringing up my brother, I wouldn't dare to kick you out?"
"Shi Xi, it's not too bad if you leave now. Don't wait until I call security to throw you out."
Shi Xi frowned. "Miss Hua, it wasn't intentional that we wore the same outfit. You don't need to make things difficult for me because of that, do you?"
A guest nearby spoke up in defense, "Yes, Shi Xi came with President Hua, so let her leave with President Hua."
"This is a banquet hosted by Ruoling! Whoever she tells to get out, has to get out!" The girl next to Hua Ruoling had already made the decision for her and shouted, "Security, kick this person out!"
The sound wasn't quiet; half the people at the banquet turned to look.
...
On the other side.
Hua Xuan followed Uncle Kou to the other side, his gentle voice carrying a hint of pressure, "Uncle Kou, I'm just helping a friend with a small favor. Aren't you even willing to give me this much face?"
Uncle Kou looked troubled. "Xuanhe, I'll definitely give you face! But someone's holding me back, they won't let me pass."
Hua Xuanhe raised an eyebrow. "Who?"
Uncle Kou looked conflicted, not wanting to provoke either side, and finally had no choice but to reveal a name.
Hua Xuanhe raised his wine glass and said, "I understand."
Uncle Kou advised, "That Shi Xi is, after all, an outsider, and her projects outside..."
Before he could finish speaking, someone in the banquet hall shouted, "Security, throw this person out!"
Uncle Kou looked toward the center of the commotion, "It seems like they're arguing over there."
Hua Xuanhe remembered that was where Shi Xi was.
"Uncle Kou, I'm going to take a look. Excuse me."
*
Shi Xi didn't expect that Hua Ruoling would actually sit idly by and do nothing, leaving her in an awkward position.
That's right, it's Shi Xi who's in an awkward position.
Shi Xi's smile turned cold. She put down her wine glass and said indifferently, "Miss Hua, since you are so unwelcoming, I have disturbed you. I will leave now."
But before she could even step out, someone grabbed her wrist.
"I just arrived. Where are you going? Hmm?"
