Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
All the guests raised their heads to look at Shi Xi, their eyes staring straight at her.
They all knew that Shi Xi was the number one socialite in Feng City, elegant and generous, but every time they saw Shi Xi, they felt that she was even more beautiful than before.
“Looks like the Shi family is preparing to pamper Shi Xi as their own daughter.”
“They’ve already raised her for 18 years. They definitely won’t be willing to give her back. I heard that Shi Xi’s original family is poor and shabby.”
“Why don’t you just look at Ning Yu? She’s from a small place. She can’t even speak when she sees such a big scene.”
“Ning Yu didn’t even change her surname back. It seems that the Shi family really doesn’t like her.”
Everyone present exchanged words, not caring about Ning Yu’s mood at all.
After Shi Xi walked down from the building, the lights in the hall were lit up again.
Everyone went up to congratulate her and kept praising her.
Shi Xi’s parents felt that their faces were bright, and the smiles on their faces never stopped.
Only Shi Xi felt a wave of despair.
She had no idea that her appearance would be so special!
When Shi Xu brought her down, she thought that it was just a simple appearance.
She didn’t expect it to be so high-profile!
They even turned off the lights.
Why did they turn off the lights!
Shi Xi didn’t say a word. She only hoped that Ning Yu wouldn’t be angry.
Right, where was Ning Yu?
Shi Xi thought of Ning Yu and looked around, but she could not find her.
Wasn’t she still there before the banquet?
“Are you looking for me? Shi Xi Xi?” Leng Qiankun appeared behind Shi Xi and shouted to stop Shi Xi.
Shi Xi turned her head and saw that it was Leng Qiankun. She did not dare to say that she was looking for Ning Yu.
After all, Ning Yu had won 5 million from him last time.
“I was just looking around.” Shi Xi smiled politely. “Did you come alone?”
“Of course I came alone. Who did Shi Xi think I would be with?” The aura around Leng Qiankun had always been gloomy and solitary. Perhaps it was Shi Xi’s birthday today, but he had changed into a white suit and looked much brighter.
They all knew that he was joking.
“Tao Yuxuan? Isn’t she with you?” Shi Xi thought to herself. Didn’t these two scoundrels of hers often appear together?
“No.” Leng Qiankun took out a small box and said, “It’s a birthday present for you.”
Shi Xi took the gift and smiled faintly. “Thank you.”
Leng Qiankun said, “Open it and see if you like it.”
‘I don’t need to open it to know that I don’t like it.’
Shi Xi didn’t have any expectations for Leng Qiankun’s aesthetic judgment.
“I’ll open it together tonight.” Shi Xi’s eyes curved.
She didn’t want to unwrap anything strange and embarrass herself.
Hearing Shi Xi’s words, Leng Qiankun’s eyes were filled with disappointment.
However, he would never go against Shi Xi’s wishes. Since Shi Xi had said that she would open it at night, he wouldn’t insist on it.
“Xi Xi, come over quickly! This is Professor Yan Xiping from the Literature Department of Yanjing University. She heard that it’s your birthday, so she specially came to see you!” Mother Shi hurriedly pulled Shi Xi and brought her to a middle-aged woman.
Professor Yan looked to be in her forties or fifties. With her serious expression and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, she looked extremely stern.
“You are Shi Xi?” Professor Yan sized up Shi Xi and nodded slightly. “Not bad.”
Shi Xi thought to herself, ‘What do you mean?’
Where was she barely acceptable!
She was clearly a hundred percent absolute beauty!
“Hello, Professor Yan.” Shi Xi ridiculed in her heart, but there was a flawless smile on her face. She even slightly nodded and lowered her eyebrows.
Mother Shi smiled and said, “Xi Xi, just now, Professor Yan said that she wants you to choose the Literature Department. In the future, you will follow Professor Yan. It will also be convenient for you to do your research.”
Shi Xi: “…”
Professor Yan’s eyes were cold and indifferent. She said, “I can’t guarantee how you will do your research. However, I have read Shi Xi’s articles. She is very accomplished in literature. She is a piece of unpolished jade that needs to be polished.”
What she meant was, ‘Hurry up and let me polish it. Don’t delay her any longer.’
Mother Shi hurriedly said, “Xi Xi has been smart since she was young. Her essay even won an essay competition in the city!”
Shi Xi: “??”
She managed to dig out this memory from the original owner’s memory with much difficulty.
It was something that happened at Shi Xi’s primary school.
It was difficult for Mother Shi to remember so clearly.
Mother Shi continued to praise Shi Xi. “Xi Xi also learned to play the piano. I heard that learning music is very helpful to literature. Xi Xi, go play a song for Professor Yan.”
Shi Xi: “…Okay.”
Seeing Mother Shi like this, she couldn’t refuse.
Fortunately, the piano was always placed in the living room. Shi Xi walked to the piano and sat down. She took a deep breath.
She had learned to play the piano herself, so she was calm and collected.
She pressed her fingers on the keys and closed her eyes.
She felt the power of the piano.
She felt the emotions brought about by the music.
She was immersed in the world of the original work.
The girl’s slender fingers fell on the keys. She was like a ballet dancer dancing on the black and white keys. She was light and elegant.
The elegant and quiet sound of the piano came out. The banquet gradually quieted down. They listened to the sound of the girl’s piano.
The pure and elegant music seemed to be able to cleanse everyone’s heart.
When the last key fell, Shi Xi let go.
“I’ve embarrassed myself.” Shi Xi smiled embarrassedly. “I haven’t played the piano for a long time. I’m a little rusty.”
“You’re too modest. To be able to play so well, you’re qualified to even go to Yanjing.” Leng Qiankun began to praise without thinking.
Shi Xi: “…”
Just ignore this person’s words.
“It’s very nice. It’s much better than before.” It was unknown when Shi Xu had arrived by her side.
The most direct praise came from the applause of the audience.
The continuous applause made Shi Xi even more embarrassed.
She really hadn’t played the piano for a long time, and she even made two mistakes in the middle.
This group of people’s praise made her feel guilty!
“Not bad. What was your score for the college entrance exam?” Professor Yan asked.
Before Shi Xi could say anything, Mother Shi had already answered.
“Xi Xi scored 666 points.” Mother Shi was smiling too happily.
Professor Yan nodded slightly. “This score can be applied to my Literature Department. When the time comes, you can contact me and become my student.”
Shi Xi gave a fake smile. “Alright, thank you, Professor Yan.”
Professor Yan nodded. She reminded, “I’ve read your composition before. You’re very talented in writing. During the holidays, you can read your books properly. When the semester starts, you can write your thesis with me. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me. I’ll help you.”
Shi Xi listened from the side, looking very obedient.
The guests beside her were also praising:
“The Shi family’s daughter is so promising! The professor from Yanjing University personally taught her.”
“Who asked her to get such a high score!”
“The Shi family really knows how to teach their daughter.”
“I just don’t know how much that biological daughter got.” At this point in time, someone just had to bring up something unpleasant.
“Ning Yu, right? Why isn’t she here?” someone asked doubtfully.
This person wasn’t the only one who was puzzled. Shi Xi was also puzzled.
Where did Ning Yu go?
She had already been praised highly enough. It was almost time for Ning Yu to show up and start the face-smacking segment, right?
Thinking of what she would experience later, Shi Xi struggled to maintain the fake smile on her face.
