Zheng Huai also hurriedly walked to Shen Xi’s side. He did not expect that Shen Xi would be bullied in his territory after he left for a while. He was also extremely angry at Jiang Xue.
“Who are you? How dare you hit me? Do you believe that I will ask Young Master to make your family bankrupt?” The madness in Jiang Xue’s eyes became even more intense. Even Shen Xi could tell that something was wrong.
“Humph, okay, go and call him over. I want to see how this Young Master Guan who indulges his own woman to cause trouble in someone else’s place will deal with me,” Shen Qian snorted coldly and said fearlessly.
Guan Lei wanted to die. His reputation had been completely ruined.
Jiang Xue’s eyes became redder and redder, and her condition became more and more abnormal. Zheng Huai instantly widened his eyes and pulled Jiang Xue’s hand to check her pulse. Jiang Xue wanted to struggle, but she was knocked unconscious by Guan Lei, who could tell that something was wrong.
After a while, Zheng Huai raised his head and said to Shen Qian, “Mom, someone drugged Jiang Xue and caused Jiang Xue to be in an abnormal mood.” Shen Xi frowned. Someone was using Jiang Xue to deal with her?
Shen Xi raised her head and looked around. At this moment, Li Jin had already avoided Zheng Huai the moment he appeared. If she left now, she would be suspected, but staying at the scene could also make Zheng Huai notice her.
Zheng Huai was a psychiatrist, so he would definitely notice that something was wrong. Hence, in order to avoid trouble, Li Jin could only sneak away.
After Shen Qian got someone to take Jiang Xue away, she warmly looked up and down at Shen Xi, with a happy expression, and said, “Ya! I finally saw you in person. You’re really beautiful. My Xi is like me, a beauty. Come, good child) I bought you a lot of things. I’ll show you.”
Zheng Huai was immediately amused. It seemed like his mother’s narcissistic habit would never change.
Guan Lei, who was at the side, was a little puzzled. Shen Xi did not look like the child of a distant relative of the Shen family. She looked more like the child of the Shen family.
Zhao Yuan was also a little puzzled. Shen Xi seemed to be very familiar with Doctor Zheng’s mother.
Seeing how enthusiastic Shen Qian was toward Shen Xi, the people attending the banquet also started to guess Shen Xi’s ident.i.ty.
The upper-cla.s.s circle in Beijing was not big, and people usually know each other’s daughters. However, they did not seem to have seen Shen Xi before.
After all, there was no reason for them not to remember such an eye-catching girl.
Xia Huang, who had been watching a good show for the entire night, spoke to her curious friend beside her, “I know her. She’s a girl from a farmer’s family from Rong City. You’ll know when you hear her surname that she’s probably a distant relative of the Shen family.”
Xia Huang had previously sent someone to go to Rong City to investigate Jiang Xue. When she knew that Shen Xi and Jiang Xue were sworn enemies, she also investigated Shen Xi’s family. They were just ordinary farmers, and there was no valuable information to be found.
However, Xia Huang found a lot of information about Jiang Xue. She originally wanted to tell her grandparents as soon as she came back. However, when she saw Jiang Xue constantly rising up the social ladder and even knew that Jiang Xue was planning to enter the entertainment industry, Xia Huang changed her mind.
When a person’s past was exposed when they were unknown, it was nothing more than embarra.s.sment. No one knew. However, if they could rise to a high position and their past was then exposed, the fall would be truly painful.
w.a.n.g Lei’s eyes slowly drifted towards Guan Lei’s direction. She had taken a fancy to this handsome man just now.
Now that she knew that Shen Xi was just a girl from a poor family, w.a.n.g Lei’s confidence rose. In terms of beauty, she could not compare to Shen Xi, but in terms of family background, Shen Xi could only stand aside.
Especially after hearing what Jiang Xue said just now, Guan Lei’s family was quite poor. Such a man was even easier to seduce. Just a little money could make him follow her.
w.a.n.g Lei took a gla.s.s of wine from the attendant and walked confidently to Guan Lei’s side. She handed one of the gla.s.ses to Guan Lei flirtatiously. “Your name is Guan Lei, right? My name is w.a.n.g Lei, the daughter of the w.a.n.g family of Haide Group in Beijing. How about having a drink?”
As long as Guan Lei went to investigate, he would be able to find out that she was quite wealthy. w.a.n.g Lei did not believe that she could not use money to get a poor boy to serve her.
Guan Lei turned around and left without even looking at w.a.n.g Lei.
w.a.n.g Lei’s lips curled into a smile at the thought of such a strong-willed man. She liked him even more now.
On the other side, Shen Xi was pulled into a room by Shen Qian. As soon as she entered, she saw her grandparents, Shen Hui, and Sun Yu sitting in the seats of honor.
The moment they saw Shen Xi enter, the two elderly members of the Shen family immediately lit up and hurriedly stood up, holding onto Shen Xi and asking her all sorts of questions. They were delighted to see her..
