Shi Xi accepted the birthday gifts from Bai Ying and Bai Jian. "Thank you. I didn't expect you to come."
"I didn't receive an invitation, so does that count as showing up uninvited?" Bai Yanlang joked.
"How could that be! I'm so glad you could come. It was my fault for not sending you an invitation, I'm sorry." Firstly, she didn't know Bai Bai's address, and secondly, she didn't want Bai Bai to meet Di Chenxiao.
When the two of them met, their IQs dropped drastically, which really gave her a headache.
Uncle Song took the gift from Shi Xi's hand. Shi Xi said, "Uncle Song, please separate Bai Bai's gift from everyone else's and put them in my room. I will open them after the banquet."
"Yes, miss."
Shi Xi picked up the champagne from the table not far away and offered a glass to Bai Yanlang. "A toast to you, thank you for coming. And an apology for my oversight in not sending you an invitation."
She liked to drink in one gulp, and when Bai Yanlang saw Shi Xi drink in one gulp, he followed suit and finished his drink in one gulp as well.
Bai Jian's expression was somewhat gloomy; today was also her birthday.
As the lights dimmed, Shi Hao led Mi Rou in the opening dance.
Originally, the opening dance was supposed to be led by Shi Hao and Shi Xi, but apart from Di Chenxiao, no one could lead Shi Xi's dance steps well.
The Shi family didn't want Shi Xi to practice dancing so hard every day, so they had Mi Rou dance the first dance in Shi Xi's place.
Sure enough, some people were talking about it, "Xiaoyue, Shixi is your sister, so why isn't Shixi dancing with President Shi in the opening dance, but a woman we don't know dancing with President Shi?"
Shi Yue suppressed the jealousy in her eyes, took a sip of champagne, and looked at the two people dancing in the center of the stage. "Maybe Shi Xi can't dance! I don't know either, don't ask me."
Sure enough, the three people around him started talking about Shi Xi.
"Can't dance? All she has is a pretty face."
"First she got entangled with Master Chen, then she got involved with the two from the Han family, and now she's drinking with Master Bai. She's really indecent."
"Maybe what Chen Ye, Bai Yan, and President Han are after is her feigned innocence..."
Shi Han stopped in her tracks, her face dark. "Whose daughters are you? How dare you speak ill of the Shi family's young lady on my Shi family's turf?"
"Uncle Song, please ask these three young ladies to leave." Shi Han glanced at Shi Yue. "Shi Yue, only when your grandfather is home and your family is qualified to enter the Shi family's door are you qualified to enter the Shi family's company. You must remember, Shi Xi is not someone you can scheme against. If there is a next time, even if your grandfather is home, the three of you will have to leave the Shi family."
Shi Yue ran to her grandfather and cried, wanting to join the Shi family company. Her grandfather felt sorry for Shi Yue's tears and asked Shi Hao to arrange an easier position for her in the company. Shi Hao had no choice but to agree.
Shi Xi was unaware that Shi Yue had joined the Shi family company.
Shi Yue's eyes were slightly red, and she lowered her head, saying, "They're talking about Xiao Xi, it's none of my business, I..."
"Don't shed tears in front of me. You know in your heart whether it was your instigation or not." Shi Han walked towards Shi Xi.
Shi Yue stared viciously at Shi Han's back. She wanted to see how long the Shi family could remain arrogant.
From the corner, Di Chenxiao watched Bai Yanlang chatting happily with Shi Xi with displeasure, intending to personally remind Shi Xi that she had a boyfriend waiting for her.
In the crowded and noisy banquet hall, Di Chenxiao, sitting in a wheelchair, was not blocked by anyone and had a smooth journey, almost reaching Shi Xi's side.
Suddenly, a maid carrying a wine glass accidentally dropped the wine and the glass onto Di Chenxiao's lap.
