"Won't you allow me to tell the truth? Shu Mingyue is originally a counterfeit who has taken over the magpie's nest. Based on her real family background, she is not the same kind of person as us in this life. Besides, the Shu family has already kicked her out, I don't know why you are still rushing to curry favor with her?" Wen Hexue said with resentment on her face.
The smiles on Murong Qing and the others' faces completely disappeared.
The second generation, dressed in gorgeous clothes, looked at each other.
Everyone had a smiling mask on their face and stood by to watch the fun with great interest.
The second generation in the circle are all shrewd people. They are not as unruly as Wen Hexue who returned to their ancestral home lately. Of course, they will not cause trouble on a day like today.
Wen Hexue, as the host, made things difficult for the guests and deliberately created trouble to upset her own grandfather. The second generation did not want to be the first to stick their heads around and become a sitting duck.
And even if Shu Mingyue's identity has changed, Song Xunran and the others are not easy to bully. With them standing in front of Shu Mingyue, the second generation must use their brains first even if they want to touch her, otherwise they will be rushing to take advantage of her.
Murong Qing, who had been patient for a long time, was about to speak when Mingyue patted her arm and shook her head gently at her.
This is a problem between Wen Hexue and the original owner, so Mingyue naturally won't let Murong Qing and the others get involved.
Especially on a special day like today, if you are not careful, it will easily become a topic of gossip and become a conflict between several families.
Mingyue glanced at Wen Hexue calmly, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Is this how Miss Wen treats guests? I have learned a lesson today. But I don't understand, since Miss Wen knows that we are not the same kind of people, why did she send me an invitation?"
Wen Hexue's face was distorted. What she hated most was Shu Mingyue's nonchalant look, as if nothing could defeat her.
Why did they send her an invitation? Of course, they wanted to show off their power, of course, they wanted to see her laugh, of course, they wanted to see what it would be like when a beautiful girl from a noble family fell into the mortal world.
But now it is me who has become a joke again.
Wen Hexue was so embarrassed that her cheeks flushed red. She was so angry that she blurted out, "I just wanted to see if you have any self-awareness. If you really have a sense of shame, you should know that you are no longer suitable for such an occasion. I didn't expect you to be so shameless and come here to lick your face."
Mingyue felt a little amused when she saw her like this.
It even feels like I'm arguing with a primary school kid.
Mingyue chuckled, her beautiful eyes and eyebrows revealing a calm and elegant temperament, "Grandpa Wen has always been kind to me. Since I have received the invitation, of course I will come to wish him good health."
Wen Hexue was not happy with her sophistry and sneered, "Who knows whether what you said is true or false? In my opinion, your wish for Grandpa's health is fake. I'm afraid you really want to catch a rich husband and return to the circle."
Murong Qing clenched his fists, Song Xunran and Lian Yeyu frowned, and Shu Mingyu bit her lips.
"It depends on one's own opinion," Mingyue shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Since Miss Wen doesn't welcome me, I won't stay and bother Miss Wen."
After saying that, Mingyue smiled at Song Xunran and the others, then turned around and walked out without hesitation.
Shu Mingyu subconsciously raised his foot, wanting to follow Mingyue away.
Wen Hexue wanted to say a few more words, but when she turned around, she saw the old man and several uncles from wealthy families standing at the door, and her face suddenly turned pale.
Mingyue also turned around and saw Grandpa Wen and several wealthy family heads.
Mingyue was slightly stunned, then she politely greeted everyone one by one: "Grandpa Wen, Uncle Song, Uncle Lian..."
When seeing Shu's father, Mingyue paused and then called out in a distant tone, "Mr. Shu." After seeing Mingyue's performance, the other family heads had different expressions.
Fathers like Song Xunran and others were all gentle to Mingyue and spoke to her in a friendly and easy-going manner. In their hearts, they only sighed for her about the cruel fate that had played tricks on her.
Ru Shu's father felt a little uncomfortable. He always felt that his former daughter appeared here, calling other people uncles and aunts affectionately, but calling him "sir" in a strange way, which made him embarrassed.
As for the other members of the Wen family, they were also quite embarrassed. You know, they had just arrived and heard all of Wen Hexue's nonsense. According to her standards of how to treat people, the Wen family's behavior was really too rude.
Wen Hexue's biological father, Mr. Wen, glared at his daughter fiercely, thinking that she was really embarrassing. He regretted again in his heart why he took her back in the first place.
Finally, it was Grandpa Wen who smiled and waved to Mingyue: "Little Mingyue finally came to see Grandpa Wen. I thought you had forgotten about an old man like me."
Mingyue walked up to him and held his arm, then smiled: "You are so good to me. Even if I forget anyone, I will never forget you."
After hearing this, Mr. Wen felt relieved and said, "Little Mingyue, stay with me today so that I can see you more."
Mingyue, who was about to leave, looked at the wisdom in the old man's eyes, sighed inwardly, and nodded: "Today you are the boss, I will listen to you in everything."
The smile on Mr. Wen's face became more genuine, and he almost sighed as he said, "How come such a good girl like you wasn't born in our Wen family?"
For a moment, Wen Hexue's face froze.
Only Mingyue knew the old man's painstaking efforts. He was clearly trying to elevate himself and cover up what Wen Hexue had just said.
It’s a pity that the person involved didn’t understand his good intentions.
Wen Hexue covered her face and ran out crying, making the scene very awkward for a while.
Master Wen lost face, and the other members of the Wen family also looked unhappy.
Mr. Wen's expression didn't change much, he just invited everyone to go to the banquet room.
The old man didn't always let Mingyue accompany him. When there were more and more visitors, he let her play with the younger generations.
Mingyue, Song Xunran and others stood in front of the French window, looking at the magnificent banquet hall, where a group of people were fighting with each other for profit or for face, toasting each other, and everyone was wearing a false mask. They felt very bored.
Today, with Mingyue in front to attract fire, no one bullied Mingyu.
Mingyue thought about it, said a few words to Song Xunran and the others, then quietly left the Wen family.
Wen Hexue said something right today: Don't try to fit into a circle that is different from yours. Mingyue is indeed not suitable to appear in this circle anymore.
She just wants to study hard and make progress every day, so that she can find her own way to prosperity in the future.
It was still early at this time. Mingyue walked out of the old house of the Wen family. The branches of the surrounding green trees were lush and dense. The sunlight occasionally leaked out from the layers of leaves, and cast a swaying golden halo on her body.
Old Man Wen, standing on the third-floor balcony of the old villa, holding the clay sculpture of a parrot in his hand, looked at the girl who was walking further and further away, and finally let out a long sigh.
"What a beautiful girl, what a pity..."
