When Ning Xi followed the old man into the banquet hall, a lot of discussion immediately broke out in the hall.
"Who is the girl on Mr. Ning's left? Why are you here dressed like this?"
"I just heard the old man call her Xiao Xi. Could it be... could it be that Ning Xi, the adopted daughter from the countryside?"
"So it's her! It's been five years, why is she still like this? No improvement at all? She's really a hopeless case!"
"Haha, five years ago you still wore knockoffs of famous brands, but now you don't even have basic taste, right?"
…
Ning Xi took Gong Shangze and Xiao Bao to the furniture store today to buy things for decorating the studio, so she dressed casually and went out in jeans and a leather jacket. She tied her long hair into a ponytail and threw it casually behind her head, looking very neat and tidy.
However, it is really out of place on an occasion like today where all the ladies are wearing long dresses and high heels.
The old man was so immersed in the joy of his granddaughter finally coming home that he didn't even notice what Ning Xi was wearing. He kept talking to Ning Xi about family matters until Zhuang Lingyu reminded him that there were many distinguished guests waiting. Then he let Ning Tianxin accompany Ning Xi to eat something while he went to greet the guests.
As soon as the old man left, Zhuang Lingyu's face changed immediately. She looked at Ning Xi in intolerance and said, "Look at what you are wearing. Don't you know what day it is today?"
Ning Xueluo hurriedly tried to smooth things over when she saw this, "Mom, don't blame me. I must have come in a hurry and didn't have time to change!"
After saying that, he walked up to her with a cautious expression as if he was afraid that Ning Xi would get angry, "Sister, shall I take you upstairs to change clothes?"
"What are you standing there for? Go change clothes with Xueluo! You're busy all the time, never doing anything important. I don't know what you're busy doing all day long!" To Zhuang Lingyu, Ning Xi was the shame of her life. She couldn't bear to even look at her for one more moment.
If Ning Xi had been scolded like this by Zhuang Lingyu in the past, she would definitely feel ashamed. But now she just glanced at her nonchalantly, "Oh, it won't embarrass you whether I change or not. Isn't Madam Ning being too lenient?"
After saying that, he took Ning Tianxin's arm and walked towards the dessert area.
"You...you..." Zhuang Lingyu was so angry, "Xueluo, look at her, does she still have me as her mother in her eyes? She has no manners at all!"
Ning Xueluo felt happy about the misfortune in her heart, but she kept comforting Zhuang Lingyu and speaking well of Ning Xi. However, the more she spoke for Ning Xi, the more Zhuang Lingyu hated her...
On the other side, Ning Xi took Ning Tianxin's arm and found a place to sit down, then poured herself a glass of wine. She didn't feel like she had entered a place she shouldn't have been in. Instead, it was as if this was her own backyard and everything in front of her was a funny show. She felt extremely relaxed and comfortable.
Ning Tianxin looked at the lazy and casual girl opposite her, and finally couldn't help but speak with surprise, "Xiao Xi... After so many years, you have really changed a lot!"
Ning Xi raised her eyebrows, "Really?"
Five years ago, when she was found wearing a fake dress, she felt as helpless as if she was standing in front of everyone without any clothes. Under those mocking words and contemptuous eyes, she felt that her whole world was about to collapse...
But now...
Compared to this, it seems that there are indeed some big changes
