Moreover, Xing Shu still had a trump card. She planned to announce it tomorrow night. It would depend on how far the Xing family would push her.

The Xing family intended to make the banquet a grand affair and sent out many invitations. They even specially emphasized that the Cheng family would be attending. Who in the capital did not want to get close to the Cheng family? All the invitations sent out had been accepted. The WeChat groups in the Beijing upper-class circle were also frantically guessing what might happen tomorrow night.

“Will Xing Shu appear? Cheng Xingyang probably hates to see Xing Shu now,

“Cheng Xingyang aside… The Xing family finds out that they’ve raised Xing Shu—this bastard—for so many years, they must be furious.”

“What a drama. I heard that Xing Shu’ s conduct is very unbecoming. She even admitted right to Cheng Xingyang’s face that she was screwing another man behind his back.”

While the WeChat groups were wild with gossip about Xing Shu, she slept until dawn. Everyone felt that Xing Shu would not dare to appear at the banquet, but it was the complete opposite. After Xing Shu woke up, she asked Nie Xi out to set her hair and do her makeup.

Nie Xi sat on the black chair. Seeing that Xing Shu was dressed up to the nines, her lips curled up. “Are you looking for trouble?”

Xing Shu narrowed her eyes and felt the sensation of the makeup brush sliding across her face. She snorted. “If I don’t go, they’ll only twist the facts and spin a worse narrative.”

Nie Xi smiled and lowered her eyes. “Will President Cheng go?

Xing Shu replied, “I don’t know.” She had applied for leave today and did not go to the office. Jian Yaochuan called her halfway and asked about the relocation of the welfare home. Xing Shu roughly told him a few requests, and Jian Yaochuan said that he would handle the matter.

“He probably won’t go.” Xing Shu closed her eyes and waited quietly for the stylist to put on her makeup.

Nie Xi looked at her newly-done manicure and teased, “I think President

Cheng will go. He treats you a little differently.”

Xing Shu said, “President Cheng said that he will consider marrying Jin Yue.” Nie Xi stopped in her tracks and cursed, “F*ck, men are all the same!”

Xing Shu regarded her comment with mirth. But when she turned around and saw the faint strangulation mark on Nie Xi’s neck, she could not smile anymore.

Nie Xi noticed Xing Shu’s gaze and tugged at her collar. “He didn’t control his strength last night?”

Did he not control his strength? Or did he strangle her on purpose? Xing Shu did not dare to ask She only lowered her eyes and asked, “Have you thought about what to do in the future?

Nie Xi smiled. “What about you? Have you thought about what to do?”

At night, the Xing family’s residence was brightly lit. All the guests had arrived. From the entrance to the garden, there were lanterns and colorful decorations along the way. Xing Linlin was surrounded by a group of stylists upstairs. She was wearing a dress adorned with diamonds. When she walked, she shone brightly. It was rumored that this dress was hand-made by an Italian designer. Just this dress alone was worth tens of millions.

Xing Linlin’s vanity was greatly satisfied. She could not help but comment in the WeChat group, “You guys will come tonight, right?” Previously, things with the people in the group had been ended on a sour note at Sunset Bar. Nobody expected Xing Linlin to become the daughter of the Xing family in the blink of an eye and might even replace Xing Shu as Cheng Xingyang’s fiancée.

Therefore, the WeChat group was a little awkward at this moment. In the end, Liu Chun broke the ice.

Liu Chun said, “Linlin, congratulations. You’ve suffered all these years. Don’t worry, we’ll definitely be there tonight.”

When Xing Linlin saw this, she only felt ridiculed. “Alright, I’ll wait for you guys.’

The others in the group did not say anything. Thinking about how they humiliated Xing Linlin last time… Who knew if Xing Linlin would take the opportunity to exact revenge? Therefore, they did not attend. Only Liu Chun came. Liu Chun went upstairs to look for Xing Linlin. When she saw the dress on Xing Linlin, jealousy flashed in her heart. Not everyone could afford a dress worth tens of millions.

Xing Linlin caught the emotions in Liu Chun’s eyes and pretended to be affectionate as she went up to her. “Liu Chun, I still have to thank you for what happened last time.”

Liu Chun was a little embarrassed. Last time, she did not speak up for Xing Linlin. Moreover, when Nie Xi splashed wine on Xing Linlin, she also looked on coldly.

Xing Linlin pulled Liu Chun and whispered, “By the way, did you know that Nie Xi and Nie Heng have an abnormal relationship? They seem to have slept together.

Liu Chun felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She looked up in disbelief.. “What did you say?
