Shi Xi arrived earlier and immediately attracted a lot of attention upon her appearance.
There were many beautiful women at the banquet, but Shi Xi's appearance instantly outshone them all.
She wore only light makeup, looking clear and radiant. Among a group of heavily made-up women, she was like a pure white lotus, ethereal and otherworldly.
The girl wore a green sundress with the hemline above her knees, revealing a pair of long, straight, and fair legs. She wore a white fox fur vest and carried a dazzling diamond-studded handbag.
It's obvious from their appearance that they were spoiled and pampered.
Ordinary people wouldn't dare to approach and strike up a conversation.
Shi Xi looked around but couldn't find Tao Yuxuan, so she called her directly.
Then he went straight to the stairs and went upstairs to find the person.
After Shi Xi left, whispers began to circulate at the banquet:
"Whose daughter is that? She's so beautiful! I've never seen her before."
"You don't recognize her? Shi Xi! That fake heiress from the Shi family!"
"A fake heiress? She looks so wealthy, she doesn't seem like a fake heiress."
"After all, they're raised with money, how could they not be wealthy?"
"..."
"Isn't that the popular female celebrity? No wonder she looks so familiar."
"Yes, the youngest daughter of the Shi family. Our company originally wanted to ask her to help with promotion, but her appearance fee—that amount—is simply unaffordable."
"No matter what, isn't she still a fake heiress? Without a good family background, what family would be willing to marry her?"
As soon as these sarcastic remarks were made, someone nearby chimed in: "We used to think she was so arrogant, and when we found out she was a fake rich girl, we all wanted to see her make a fool of herself."
I never imagined that she could still make a fortune and buy designer brands even after leaving the Shi family. Just look at her outfits, they must cost at least a million!
I saw that diamond ball before, but I didn't even have the qualifications to buy it. I didn't expect her to just casually pull it out.
"..."
Hearing the envious and jealous comments about Shi Xi from everyone, Lu Wancheng held her wine glass and smiled awkwardly, unable to say a word.
Someone looked at Lu Wancheng and asked, "I heard you're an actress too. What have you acted in?"
Lu Wancheng: "I'm currently filming 'Sky Blue'."
"Never heard of it."
Lu Wancheng gritted her teeth.
Someone else said, "Sky Blue? I've heard of it. Isn't that the one Shi Xi starred in?"
Lu Wancheng was even angrier, but she could only force a smile and say, "I play the second female lead."
Play a supporting role to Shi Xi.
Unable to continue the conversation with these so-called "socialites," Lu Wancheng simply said "excuse me" and went to find Xie Er.
She was brought in by Xie Er.
I thought I would be flattered and make some girlfriends.
I didn't expect everyone to be talking about Shi Xi.

On the other side.
Shi Xi went straight into Tao Yuxuan's bedroom and asked, "Why didn't you go downstairs?"
Tao Yuxuan lay on the sofa, holding a wine glass in one hand, and said lazily, "No rush, I'll go down later."
Shi Xi sat on the single sofa and saw that Tao Yuxuan had already drunk half a bottle. She was a little worried and said, "Don't get drunk."
Tao Yuxuan: "It's alright, I won't get drunk from this."
"Tell me, what's bothering you?" Shi Xi leaned back on the sofa.
"Isn't this all about the arranged marriage?" Tao Yuxuan said, annoyed and angry. "Old Madam Jun will be coming over tonight to announce my marriage to Jun Cheng."
Shi Xi had heard about this, and could only comfort her by saying, "I met Jun Cheng that day. He's tall and handsome, so we didn't lose out!"
“He’s tall and handsome, but he—” Tao Yuxuan, who was lying on the sofa, sat up straight, looking hesitant and unsure what to say.
Seeing Tao Yuxuan's expression, Shi Xi tentatively guessed, "He... can't do it?"
