Met in the mall

It has been more than half a month since Shi Jian returned to Shi's house, but she has never shown her face to the outside world. Almost no one has seen her. Tonight is the first official exposure.

Gu Danqiu and Shi Liren stood beside Shi Jian. She held her parents' arms and slowly walked downstairs. Her surprising appearance and temperament instantly caught the attention of everyone present.

It is said that the daughter of the Shi family was adopted by a Taoist nun, and she grew up in a Taoist temple in the mountains since she was a child. She has never even seen TV... In everyone's mind, she has the image of a small family, maybe she is timid and timid,

If you can't get on the stage, it's hard to wait for the elegant hall.

But now that I saw it, I realized that this was not the case at all!

Her appearance is absolutely impeccable, after all, Shi Liren and his wife look pretty good. What is surprising is the temperament she exudes. She is clearly a noble lady that a wealthy family has spent countless efforts to cultivate since she was a child!

When Shi Rui saw Shi Jian walking down, her heart tightened, and she stared at her closely, unable to hide her disappointment and a trace of jealousy.

She thought...she thought that Shi Jian was destined to be embarrassed and laughed at tonight.

She had only been home for half a month when she returned. She only watched TV all day long and had not learned any social etiquette at all, let alone asked anyone to teach her.

A person who grew up in a Taoist temple in the mountains would definitely not be able to cope with such an occasion! She will be the one who is embarrassed then!

The first impression is very important. If she makes a fool of herself at the recognition party, she will not be able to make a name for herself in this circle in the future.

But now...

"Rui'er, don't panic, she's just pretending! Who can't pretend? You are the young lady of the Shi family, don't forget, you have lived in the Shi family for more than ten years! Even if she is your biological child,

How is it? Emotions need to be cultivated!" Zhong Huilan noticed Shi Rui's emotional change, patted the back of her hand comfortingly, and said softly.

Shi Rui forced a smile, "Auntie, I'm fine, I... I'm actually very happy. My parents found their biological daughter, which is a good thing... I have enjoyed the Shi family for so many years, actually

Speaking of which, I am sorry for Xiao Jian..."

Zhong Huilan glared at her and scolded: "What does it have to do with you? Weren't you also a baby who didn't know anything back then? Their parents didn't take good care of their children, so this happened. No one can blame them.

On your head!"

"Okay, don't think too much about it. I know who your parents are. They have raised you for so many years. Even if their biological daughter comes back, they will not stop loving you! You have to correct your mentality and don't act alone.

Just put yourself down. Anyway, you remember, you are right, and you have not sorry to anyone, do you understand?"

Shi Rui bit her lip and nodded gently, without saying too many annoying words.

It’s true that her parents will not stop loving her, but they can’t compare to before!

In the past, in the Shi family, or even the entire Shi family, whether it was Haishi or the capital, she was the only little princess of the Shi family! The whole family supported her and responded to her requests! She was in their eyes and hearts!

But now, she clearly feels something is different.

Ever since Shi Jian came back, her parents no longer have eyes for her. They can only see Shi Jian! Even the eldest brothers... Only the fourth brother still wholeheartedly protects her...

Thinking about Shi Rui, she felt aggrieved.

It was all hers before, but now she has to give away most of it. Who can bear it?

She had to endure it if she couldn't bear it, and now she knew very well that she had no position to complain.

Maybe she should be grateful that the Shi family didn't kick her out, otherwise she wouldn't know what to do. Shi Rui thought mockingly to herself.

While she was dazed, Shi Liren and Gu Danqiu had already grandly introduced Shi Jian, and they did not hide the importance and love they attached to her. Even the four brothers of the Shi family stood beside them.

This scene has different meanings in everyone's eyes.

"Rui'er, isn't this going too far? The whole family loves each other, why should they leave you alone!"

Zhong Huilan went to socialize, and her friends who were usually good friends with Shi Rui came over and surrounded her angrily.

"Don't talk nonsense! Tonight is Jane's home field, and this banquet is for her. She is the well-deserved protagonist. What's the point of me joining in!"

It's not that Shi Liren and Gu Danqiu intentionally left Shi Rui aside. Before that, Gu Danqiu had also proposed to let Shi Rui be together. But Shi Rui refused.

She insisted that Shi Jian was the real daughter of the Shi family, and this banquet was specially held for Shi Jian, so she shouldn't stand aside.

That's very reasonable.

Gu Danqiu thought for a while and felt that letting her stand aside might not be a good thing for her.

Because this creates a comparison, it is even worse for her.

So I gave it up.

But she gave up, but Shi Rui felt wronged again.

Although she said this now, she couldn't hide her disappointment in her tone.

This made her friends even more aggrieved on her behalf.

"Rui'er, although... that Shi Jian was the daughter of the Shi family, but you have been in the Shi family for so many years, there is no reason for her to exclude you as soon as she comes back, right? It won't hurt the Shi family to have one more daughter.

Difference! On a first-come, first-served basis, she is the latecomer!"

"How can this be said on a first-come, first-served basis? She is her parents' daughter... She suffered so much in the Taoist temple in the mountains, but I enjoyed so many blessings in Shi's family. It is normal for her to be angry. I can

Understand, I won't argue with her." Shi Rui said magnanimously.

The friend next to her curled her lips, the contempt and disdain in her eyes undisguised.

For a person who grew up in a Taoist temple in the mountains and has never even seen TV, it’s really hard to imagine that there are such bumpkin now!

Between Rui'er and this country bumpkin, anyone with any sense would know which one to favor.

Rui'er is also a wealthy lady built up by the Shi family with money and power! How can that bumpkin compare? If Uncle Shi and Aunt Gu can't handle it clearly, they will regret it sooner or later!

Just wait for this country bumpkin to embarrass the Shi family and make the Shi family a joke in the upper class!

"Rui'er, you can't be too meek. The more you are like this, the more people will bully you! You have to fight for what's yours!"

Shi Rui nodded, "I know, don't worry, no one will bully me, fourth brother still treats me the same!"

What may seem like words of comfort are actually provocative.

Just saying that Shi Ji still treats her the same way, doesn't that mean that the other three brothers don't treat her like they used to? If you have a biological sister, don't you want to raise her?

Shi Rui gave up as soon as she got along. She didn't really want to do anything, but when she saw Shi Jian just now, she suddenly worried that she would quickly integrate into this circle, and then all the light would be taken away from her.

So I thought of giving some eye drops to my friends first, and then spread the word to ten, and then to a hundred.

Even if it really can't prevent anything,... at least it's still somewhat useful, right?

While they were talking, several people saw tonight's protagonist Shi Jian walking towards them. Their expressions changed slightly, but they quickly calmed down and comforted themselves about what Shi Jian had just said.

I don’t know! What are you afraid of and what are you guilty of?

Shi Rui also felt a little guilty, so she didn't notice that a friend next to her changed her expression after seeing Shi Jian, and then quickly lowered her eyes, and her hands unconsciously wrung together, and then quickly let go, so

For natural calming.

"Xiao Jian, you are so beautiful tonight!" Shi Rui smiled softly.

Shi Jian nodded.

Isn't it natural that she is beautiful?

It seems to be fate that her own appearance is somewhat similar to Shi Jian's.

She was also surprised when she saw Shi Jian in Wushiteng City. She didn't expect that this newcomer actually looked similar to her. Later she thought that this was probably fate.

She nodded and admitted in such a calm manner that the ladies couldn't hold their words for a while.

Shouldn't she be more modest?

Shi Jian's eyes fell on the person standing next to Shi Rui, "This is..."

Shi Rui was a little surprised. After looking at her friend, she introduced: "This is my good friend Tong Ruixin. She is the young lady of the Tong family."

Shi Rui and Tong Ruixin have known each other for the longest time. They became friends when they were in elementary school and have been together till now.

"Oh, it turns out to be Miss Tong..." Shi Jian drew out her voice, which was somewhat meaningful.

Shi Rui looked at the two of them strangely and asked, "Xiao Jian, you... do you know Rui Xin?"

Before Shi Jian could answer, Tong Ruixin anxiously denied it, "No! We don't know each other!"

But I was too anxious and it seemed abnormal.

Shi Jian smiled even more meaningfully, "Yes, we don't know each other. We just met Miss Tong in the bathroom of the mall a few days ago. At that time..."

Before she finished speaking, Tong Ruixin interrupted her hastily, "Rui'er, I... I suddenly remembered that I still have some things to deal with, so I, I'll take the first step and see you another day!

"

After saying that, Shi Rui turned around and left without waiting for the answer. His back looked like he had fled!

Shi Jian just came here to test it out, but she didn't expect that Tong Ruixin was so unstable.

Doesn't this clearly tell her that there is a problem with this matter? If there is no problem, why should she panic?

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but cast her eyes on Shi Rui.

Shi Rui froze when she saw her, became a little nervous inexplicably, and stammered, "What, what's wrong?"

"This friend of yours..." She said slowly, as if she was deliberately worrying Shi Rui.

"Xiao Jian, um... if Rui Xin has offended you, you, don't argue with her, she definitely didn't mean it! She's a very nice person..."

Shi Jian smiled and said, "It's okay. Since she is your good friend, then invite her to your home someday!"

Shi Rui was stunned for a moment, and opened her mouth to say something, but Shi Jian didn't give her a chance, "I think it'll be the day after tomorrow! You invite her to your home, and I'll have the kitchen prepare it and make some desserts or something."

The day after tomorrow, the people from the big house also returned to the capital.

This is not a discussion, but a notification.

Because she left immediately after saying that, without giving Shi Rui any chance to disagree.

Shi Rui and her friends were left looking at each other with questions in their minds.
