Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

Chapter 241 This is your right

Two days later, the banquet began.

Shi Xiaxia changed into an exquisite pink dress, which made her skin look even whiter than snow.

She went to the ball together with Shi Fanghai, Shi Fuxi, and Qiao Zihao.

The owner who hosted the banquet wasn't exactly a big boss, but the venue he set up was extremely lavish and luxurious.

Shi Xiaxia followed the crowd inside and handed in her invitation.

As soon as she entered the room, she smelled a fragrance.

The scent was actually quite pleasant, but Shi Xiaxia frowned because the perfume made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Xiaxia, what's wrong?" Qiao Zihao immediately noticed Shi Xiaxia's unusual behavior.

"It's nothing." Shi Xiaxia shook her head.

As soon as the group entered the banquet hall, they hadn't taken more than a few steps when they saw a man in a well-tailored black bespoke suit, holding a glass of amber-colored whiskey, walking towards them with a steady and elegant gait.

"President Mu!" Shi Fanghai spoke first, "Long time no see!"

"Big brother!"

Qiao Zihao quickly greeted him with a smile, "Big brother, what brings you here too?!"

"You still remember I'm your older brother?!"

Mu Yun patted Qiao Zihao lightly: "He doesn't usually send me a text message. I almost forgot I had a younger brother."

Qiao Zihao chuckled awkwardly at Mu Yun's words.

After teasing Qiao Zihao, Mu Yun started talking with Shi Fanghai and Shi Fuxi.

"Miss Shi!" Before she could finish speaking, two people with a child walked over quickly.

"Miss Shi, it's been a long time!" The woman holding the child's little hand looked at Shi Xiaxia with a smile on her face.

"Mrs. Tang!"

Shi Xiaxia was also a little surprised to see Tang Jingxue. She then looked at Zhao Guan and asked, "Director Zhao, what brings you here?!"

This banquet was organized by the boss to secure collaborations; it's hardly something that could be connected with a variety show director.

"We found out that Miss Shi would be attending, so we got an invitation from someone,"

Zhao Guan explained, "It's usually too difficult to see Miss Shi, so I had no choice but to use this method."

"so."

Shi Xiaxia smiled and nodded.

She has indeed been quite busy lately, and besides, she hasn't told anyone her address after arriving in the capital, so it's understandable that Zhao Guan couldn't find her.

“Miss Shi,” Tang Jingxue led the little girl beside her forward a couple of steps.

The little girl seemed afraid of strangers, and hid behind Tang Jingxue, looking timidly at Shi Xiaxia.

The little girl's face wasn't very fair, and you could still vaguely see some scars. Her hands were also wrinkled, and you could tell at a glance that she was a child who had suffered.

"Miss Shi, what do you think of this child?!" Tang Jingxue gently coaxed the girl a few words, then pulled her to show Shi Xiaxia.

"He's a good child, please rest assured, Madam Tang."

Shi Xiaxia smiled and patted the girl's head, realizing that this was the child Zhao Guan and Tang Jingxue had adopted, and they had brought her over to let her see her.

After Shi Xiaxia patted her head, the girl hid behind Tang Jingxue.

"That's good!"

Tang Jingxue was completely relieved: "As long as she is safe and sound from now on, I will be at ease."

"Will do."

Shi Xiaxia smiled and pulled Tang Jingxue along, hinting, "I've seen her too. If there's nothing else, take the child and go home to rest early. I'll give her a peace charm when I have some free time another day."

Tang Jingxue paused for a moment and looked at Zhao Guan.

Zhao Guan immediately understood Shi Xiaxia's meaning, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Alright, then I'll trouble Miss Shi with the matter of the peace token."

"Director Zhao, you're too kind." Shi Xiaxia nodded.

Zhao Guan then led Tang Jingxue and the girl away from the banquet hall.

The three returned to the car, and Tang Jingxue frowned deeply: "Honey, do you think Miss Shi might be in any danger?!"

Neither of them were stupid; they both realized there was something wrong with the banquet.

"Miss Shi is very capable; nothing will happen to her."

Zhao Guan patted Tang Jingxue reassuringly: "Besides, there's nothing we can do to help with this kind of thing."

Tang Jingxue sighed, finally nodded, and left with Zhao Guan.

......

"Dad, eldest brother..."

Shen Yu looked at Shi Fanghai and Shi Fuxi: "Mom isn't feeling well right now. She's called your names in her sleep several times. If you have time... go back and see her!"

Shi Fanghai and Shi Fuxi did not immediately agree or refuse, but instead looked at Shi Xiaxia.

Logically and emotionally, they should go back and see Shen Yi, but...

They were also afraid that Shi Xiaxia would misunderstand and get angry.

They finally managed to find Shi Xiaxia and get her to accept them, and they told her they couldn't do anything that would hurt her anymore.

"Dad, brother, you don't need to look at me,"

Shi Xiaxia smiled and said, "It's your right, and you should go and see for yourself."

Seeing that Shi Xiaxia had no objections, Shi Fanghai and Shi Fuxi were relieved and immediately agreed.

Shen Yu looked at Shi Xiaxia, opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

Shi Xiaxia regarded him as an enemy, and he was also a stranger to Shi Xiaxia, so there was really nothing to say to him.

Shen Qingqing...

Shen Yu gave a bitter smile. He was just an ingrate...

After Shen Yu delivered the message, the atmosphere among everyone became slightly awkward, and no one took the initiative to bring up any other topics.

Shen Yu knew this was a sign that the people didn't welcome him. He lowered his eyes slightly to hide his sadness and walked away.

The Shen family is not what it used to be. Shen Yu wanted to have a few words with the other bosses and presidents, but they all quickly made excuses to leave, not giving him any chance at all.

In this situation, Shen Yu had no other choice; the Shen family...

It seems he's beyond saving...

After Shen Yu left, Shi Fuxi glanced at his retreating figure twice.

To be honest, he didn't want things to turn out this way, but when they separated the family, they insisted on choosing Shen Qingqing and gave up everything for her.

Now, Shen Qingqing has abandoned them and run away abroad alone, completely disregarding the lives of Shen Yi and Shen Yu. Shi Fuxi is both angry and heartbroken.

But these were their own choices, weren't they?!

Afterwards, Shi Fuxi and Shi Fanghai went to chat with other people, while Shi Xiaxia chose a less crowded place to observe the people coming and going.
