In the resplendent banquet hall, Xie Dongdong, who was dressed in formal attire and rarely looked like a dog, walked up to Xie Xixi's side and asked in a low voice, "Is Xie Nanqi here too?"
"Yes, after all, today is our Xie family's big day, and she has to appear no matter what." Xie Xixi lowered her voice, "But she is very low-key, so she probably doesn't want to come."
Xie Dongdong understood.
Their perception of Xie Nanqi is still very bad. Even if she suffered a disfigurement incident that makes people sympathize, those sympathies will be exhausted by her crazy behavior day after day.
In just a few months, Xie Nanqi has become a gloomy and silent person.
She was wearing a dark long dress, her hair was hanging down, covering one side of her cheek, her eyes always had some deep emotions, and her whole body seemed to exude a negative energy aura. She was sitting in the corner, holding a glass of blood-red cocktail in her hand, and her heavy eyes fell on the place where singing and dancing were in front of her.
There, it would have been her home stadium. She should wear the most beautiful dress, hold her head proudly like a swan, and dance the first dance under the amazement of everyone.
However, everything has been ruined, and the scar on her face that has not faded for a long time is like an abyss drawn between her and everyone. It seems to be close at hand, but in fact it is far away and difficult to cross.
Xie Nanqi sneered, lowered her eyes, she was unwilling but had no choice. Who can understand the feeling of falling from the clouds to the mud? And those who climbed from the mud to the clouds must be laughing at her.
Look, that Xie Nanqi, who used to be so high up and seemed to have everything, has turned into this ghostly look. But Xie Xixi, who used to be unable to hold her head up in front of her, and Su Li, who used to serve her food and lodging, will become the most eye-catching presence in this banquet.
Did they take away the light that belonged to her
This kind of contrast made Xie Nanqi's mood lower and lower day by day, as well as manic depression.
On the stage, Mr. Xie, who was over 70 and still full of energy, was speaking. He talked about the past of the Xie family, the development of the Xie family over the years, and Xie Beiyang.
Xie Nanqi looked at the pride of the old man who loved her the most when he mentioned Xie Beiyang, and felt nervous. If she could understand something earlier, would she still have a chance to mention her name from Mr. Xie? Unfortunately, it was too late.
Xie Beiyang's coming to power meant that her life was even more difficult.
The applause sounded, and she saw that Su Li smiled lightly and appeared in the banquet hall holding Xie Beiyang's arm. Everyone's eyes were attracted by Su Li, who was extraordinarily bright and charming today. She is like a gorgeous lamp, emitting an eye-catching light, standing beside Xie Beiyang, accepting the admiration and jealousy of others.
"Who is this woman? Why is she holding Mr. Xie's arm?"
"Is it a girlfriend? Which family's daughter?"
"What kind of gold, I think it's just for women who want to fly on the branches and become phoenixes."
"I don't know if the Xie family can take a fancy to her."
"Did you see that Mr. Xie's face is frozen, and he probably doesn't like this woman either."
"so"
The voices of several women nearby reached Xie Nanqi's ears, and the sourness in that tone made her want to laugh. But it's just another group of people who can't see the situation clearly, just like herself.
Xie Nanqi took a sip of the blood-red cocktail, but when she put down the glass, she saw a person sitting beside her.
