“What’s wrong with your mouth? Did you bite it when eating food?” Sun Yu looked at her beautiful eldest granddaughter, who had injured her lips. Her heart ached, and she quickly shouted, “Hurry up and bring the medicine over.

Don’t leave a scar.”

Shen Xi quickly said, “I accidentally touched it. It’s fine. It’s a small wound. It won’t leave a scar.”

Shen Hui’s expression turned serious as he said with concern, “Listen to your grandmother. You can’t ignore small wounds. You have to apply medicine.”

Shen Xi had no choice but to wait for the medicine to be applied obediently. When Shen Xi appeared in the banquet hall again, she was adorned with a multitude of accessories.

“Aunt, this looks so strange. I look like a Christmas tree full of ornaments. Can we take it off?” Shen Xi looked at Shen Qian with a distressed expression. She pouted and acted coquettishly.

Looking at Shen Xi’s behaviour, Shen Qian’s heart was about to melt. She had always wanted a daughter, but unfortunately, she could not give birth to one. Now that she saw Shen Xi’s soft and cuddly appearance, there was nothing she could not agree to. She immediately agreed and removed the things on Shen Xi’s body. She asked someone to pack them up so that Shen Xi could bring them back later.

The last bracelet on Shen Xi’s wrist was left. Shen Qian said, “You can’t take this off. This is the Peace Bracelet that your grandmother has worn all her life. One is with me, and the other is for you now. If you take it off now, your grandmother will be unhappy when she sees it later.”

Although the jade green bracelet did not match the gown on her body at all, Shen Xi listened to her aunt’s words. After all, this was her grandmother’s kind intention, and it was not easy to reject it.

Shen Qian originally wanted to bring Shen Xi to meet more people, but Shen Xi felt that it would be better to wait until her parents returned to Beijing and introduce them officially, so she declined.

Shen Xi gave the gift she had brought to Shen Qian. It was a painting that she had created herself. It was a painting of a banana and begonia in the rain at night. She had specially asked her mother, Lu Shan, for advice on the technique she had used.

Shen Qian loved it so much that she told Shen Xi to eat and drink well. Then, she took the painting and went over to her parents to show off. Shen Hui and

Sun Yu were so angry that they wanted to celebrate their birthday on the spot.

Seeing that Shen Qian had left, Wang Lei approached Shen Xi and whispered to her, “Shen Xi, right? I like that boyfriend of yours. Name your price!”

Shen Xi followed Wang Lei’s line of sight and saw Guan Lei drinking by himself in the corner. Not far away from Guan Lei, there were several little girls gathered together, looking at Guan Lei from time to time and whispering something.

Shen Xi immediately understood the situation. It seemed like someone had taken a fancy to her future boyfriend and was here to poach him. How could she do that? She hadn’t even officially gotten together with Guan Lei, and someone had already come to snatch him away.

Shen Xi looked back at the confident Wang Lei and said firmly, “That won’t do. He is my man, I won’t let you!’

Wang Lei did not expect Shen Xi to be so ungrateful. Her expression turned ugly as she snorted coldly and asked, “Five hundred thousand yuan! What do you think?”

Seeing that Shen Xi was only drinking the drink in her hand and did not respond, Wang Lei continued to bid, “One million yuan! This price is not low for a poor peasant girl like you. He’s just a man. There’s no need to go against money.”

Shen Xi looked up at Wang Lei and questioned, “Since you like him, why don’t you go and explain it to him directly? If he can fulfil your wish, won’t you even save money?

Wang Lei naturally knew this. However, she had tried to seduce Guan Lei several times just now, but Guan Lei ignored her and even warned her that if she harassed him again, he would not be polite.

Wang Lei felt that Guan Lei must have already had Shen Xi as his girlfriend, so he didn’t want to do anything immoral. Therefore, she wanted Shen Xi to quit first. This way, not only would Guan Lei be single, but she wouldn’t have to bear the reputation of destroying other people’s relationships. She would be killing two birds with one stone!

Wang Lei felt that Shen Xi was not satisfied with the one million yuan, so she directly raised the price. “Two million yuan! Shen Xi, you have to think carefully. This money is not something your family can earn no matter how much land you plant. It’s possible that your family of three will not be able to earn it in your lifetime.”

Guan Lei turned around and saw Shen Xi. The indifference on his face instantly turned into a gentle smile. This sight stunned Wang Lei who was standing beside them.

Seeing Guan Lei walking in their direction, Wang Lei became a little anxious and raised her voice slightly. “Shen Xi, how about 3 million yuan? You won’t be able to earn this price even if you sell your body for a lifetime!”

Wang Lei’s voice was a little loud, attracting many curious gazes. Guan Lei naturally heard it too.

“What are you talking about?” Guan Lei questioned Wang Lei directly..
