Xia Yisan habitually opens Weibo to see if there is any earth-shattering news.
The news of Actor Su’s announcement of his relationship dominated the hot searches on Weibo for three consecutive days, but Su Jingting himself had not appeared in front of Xia Yisan for several days.
Xia Yisan was also happy to have some free time, and she was preparing for the banquet arranged by the Xia family to celebrate her admission to Xiying.
Generally, children of upper-class business circles like the Xia family rarely study acting and enter the entertainment industry, but Xia Yisan knows that Xia Qihua will definitely support her. In the previous life, the marriage partner Xia Qihua chose for Xia Zhirou was the movie emperor Su Jingting.
Unfortunately, later...
On the day of the banquet, Xia Yisan wore a white strapless dress with her long hair hanging on both sides, revealing a little bit of her white collarbone. She took Xia Qihua's arm and walked slowly down the stairs in crystal high heels.
Everyone was amazed that the Xia family's newly recognized second daughter, although an illegitimate daughter, had a stunning appearance, three points more beautiful than the Xia family's eldest daughter, Xia Zhirou.
Even at the banquet, she attracted many men's surprised gazes with just light makeup that was almost bare-faced.
Many ladies cast jealous glances, but since today was a banquet hosted by the Xia family, no one showed it too obviously.
Relying on her memory and her thorough homework, Xia Yisan followed Xia Qihua and greeted everyone at the party with a smile. She even knew how a few people were doing five years later.
"Look at her like that, do you really think she's the daughter of the Xia family?"
The sound, neither loud nor soft, just fell into Xia Yisan's ears.
The ones who spoke were Lin Xuanzhi and Song Jinglei, Xia Zhirou's best friends. In her previous life, when Xia Yishan arranged a marriage on behalf of Xia Zhirou, she was not ridiculed by these two people.
She clearly remembered that she was looked down upon by the Xia family, and they didn't hold any decent banquets, so she couldn't really integrate into the business circle of Beijing. She was also so focused on Lin Chengze that she didn't pay attention to how she was being slandered!
"You shameless country bumpkin, you still have the nerve to take over everything of Zhirou. You don't even look at yourself in the mirror. You look like a wild girl from the countryside. You still want to seduce men with your seductiveness!"
"Be gentle!"
"Why, she can do it, but I can't say anything!"
Xia Qihua still heard the unpleasant words. No matter how bad Xia Yisan was, she was still his daughter. He was a little displeased and winked at Wan Yuning who was socializing.
Wan Yuning was wearing a simple and elegant cheongsam, dressed like a noble lady. She showed up at the right time and tried to smooth things over, "Yishan, come here."
"Let me introduce you. These are your sister's good friends, Lin Xuanzhi and Song Jinglei."
Xia Yisan nodded.
"Aunt Wan, this is Zhirou's sister. She is very different from her. She looks so rustic." Lin Xuanzhi even pretended to fan the air with her hand.
"Xuanzhi really loves to joke."
"Aunt Wan, you are just too kind. How can such a person replace Zhirou and become the daughter of the Xia family?"
"The word 'replace' doesn't seem to be used appropriately by Miss Lin!" Xia Yisan, who had been smiling and ignoring Lin Xuanzhi, spoke.
"Isn't it?! Zhirou didn't show up when you returned to the capital. You flaunted yourself everywhere under the guise of being the daughter of the Xia family!"
"As everyone knows, Xia Zhirou is my sister. I was recognized by the Xia family as the second daughter of the Xia family! My sister is still the eldest daughter of the Xia family. It doesn't matter if Miss Lin looks down on me, Xia Yisan. If she has any dissatisfaction with the Xia family, she can just say it out. Why does she have to distort the facts by saying one thing after another?"
