The hostess only wants to earn merit

Chapter 10

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. Few people have seen her. Tonight is the first official exposure.

Gu Danqiu and Shi Liren stood beside Shi Jian, one on the left and the other on the right. She walked down the stairs slowly holding her parents' arms, and her unexpected 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, and she has never even seen TV... In everyone's mind, there is an image of a petty family, maybe she is still timid and timid, If you can't get on the table, it's hard to wait for the elegant hall.

But when I saw it now, I found that it was not the case at all!

The appearance is absolutely impeccable, after all, Shi Liren and his wife are not bad in appearance.What is surprising is the temperament she exudes, she is clearly a lady who has been cultivated by a wealthy family with countless painstaking efforts since she was a child!

When Shi Rui saw Shi Jian walking down, she couldn't help but tighten her heart, staring at her closely, unable to hide her disappointment and a trace of jealousy.

She thought... She thought Shi Jian was destined to lose face and be laughed at tonight.

It had only been half a month since she came home, and she watched TV all day long, and she had never learned any social etiquette at all, let alone asked anyone to teach her.

A person who grew up in a Taoist temple in the deep mountains would definitely not be able to cope with such an occasion!At that time, she will be the one who will be ashamed!

First impressions are very important, if she makes a fool of herself at the relative-recognition banquet, she won't 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 wouldn't pretend? You are the lady of the Shi family, don't forget, you have lived in the Shi family for more than ten years! How is it? Feelings need to be cultivated!" Zhong Huilan noticed Shi Rui's emotional changes, patted the back of her hand comfortingly, and said softly.

Shi Rui forced a smile, "Auntie, I'm fine, I... I'm actually quite happy. It's a good thing that my parents found their biological daughter... I've enjoyed the Shi family for so many years, actually Speaking of which, I'm sorry for Xiao Jane..."

Zhong Huilan glared at her, and said in a low voice: "It's none of your business? 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 kind of thing happened. No one can blame it. On your head!"

"Okay, don't think about it too much. I know how 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 be alone. Just put yourself down. In short, you remember, you are right, and you have not wronged anyone, understand?"

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

Parents really love her, but they can't compare with before!
She used to be 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 is in my eyes and in my heart!

But now, she obviously felt different.

Ever since Shi Jian came back, her parents didn't see her anymore, only Shi Jian!Even the older brothers... Only the fourth brother is dedicated to protecting her...

Thinking about it, Shi Rui felt aggrieved.

It was originally hers, but now more than half of it is going to be given away, who can bear it!

If she can't bear it, she has to bear it, and now she knows that she has no position to complain.

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

At the moment when she was in a daze, Shi Liren and Gu Danqiu had introduced Shi Jian solemnly, and they did not hide the importance and love they had for her.Even the four brothers of the Shi family stood beside them.

This scene has a different meaning in everyone's eyes.

"Rui'er, the family is too much at this time, isn't it? The whole family loves each other, why should they leave you alone!"

Zhong Huilan went to socialize, and her friends with Shi Rui came over and surrounded her to complain.

"Don't talk nonsense! Tonight is Little Jane's home game, and this banquet is for her. She is a well-deserved protagonist. What am I doing here!"

It's not that Shi Liren and Gu Danqiu deliberately left Shi Rui aside, Gu Danqiu also proposed to let Shi Rui be together at that time.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.

Very reasonable.

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

Because there is a contrast in this way, which is even worse for her.

So let it go.

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

Although she said so at this moment, she couldn't hide a little disappointment in her tone.

This made her friends feel wronged in her place.

"Rui'er, although... that Shi Jian is the daughter of the Shi family, but you have been in the Shi family for so many years, there is no reason why she will crowd out you as soon as she comes back, right? It won't matter if the Shi family raises another daughter The difference! According to first come, first served, she is the latecomer!"

"How can this be said on a first-come-first-served basis? She is the daughter of my parents... She has suffered so much in the remote mountain Taoist temple, but I have enjoyed so much blessing in Shi's family. It is normal for her to be angry. I can I understand, I won't argue with her." Shi Rui said generously.

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

A person who grew up in a Taoist temple in the deep mountains has never even seen TV. It is really hard to imagine that there are such bumpkins now!

Rui'er and this bumpkin, whoever has a brain knows which one to favor.

Rui'er is also a rich lady who was piled up with money and power by Shi's family!How can that country bumpkin compare?If Uncle Shi and Aunt Gu are confused, they will regret it sooner or later!
Just wait for this bumpkin to embarrass the Shi family and make the Shi family a joke of the upper class!

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

Shi Rui nodded, "I know, don't worry, no one bullies me, Fourth Brother treats me the same!"

What seems to be soothing is actually provocative.

Just saying that Shi Ji still treats her the same, doesn't that mean that the other three brothers don't treat her like they used to?If you have a real sister, don't you want to raise a younger sister?
Shi Rui accepts when she sees something good, she doesn't really want to do anything, but when she saw Shi Jian just now, she was suddenly worried that she would soon integrate into this circle, and then snatch all her brilliance away.

So I thought about giving some eye drops to my friends first, and spread the word to ten, ten to hundreds.

Even if it really can't stop anything, but... at least it's still useful, right?
While talking, a few people saw tonight's protagonist, Shi Jian, walking towards them. Their expressions changed slightly, but they calmed down quickly, comforting themselves about what Shi Jian they said just now I don't know!What are you afraid of, what are you guilty of!
Shi Rui was also a little guilty, so he didn't notice that the expression of a friend beside him changed after seeing Shi Jian, and then quickly lowered his eyes, his hands were unconsciously twisted together, and soon let go, so Make natural calm.

"Little Jane, you are so beautiful tonight!" Shi Rui smiled softly.

Shi Jian nodded.

Isn't it a matter of course that she is beautiful?

Speaking of it, it is also fate, her own appearance is somewhat similar to Shi Jian.

When she saw Shi Jian in the City of Death, she was also surprised. She didn't expect this newcomer to look somewhat similar to herself.Later, she thought, this is probably fate.

She nodded and admitted with such a calm posture, the ladies were a little overwhelmed for a while.

Shouldn't she be humble?
Shi Jian's eyes fell on the person standing beside Shi Rui, "This is..."

Shi Rui was a little surprised, and 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 have become friends since they were in elementary school, and they have come all the way to the present.

"Oh, so it's Ms. Tong..." Shi Jian dragged out the ending, which was a little meaningful.

Shi Rui glanced at the two of them strangely, and asked, "Little Jane, you...do you know Rui Xin?"

Before Shi Jian answered, Tong Ruixin hurriedly denied, "No! We don't know each other!"

But it is too anxious, but it seems abnormal.

Shi Jian smiled even more meaningfully, "Yeah, we don't know each other, but I met Miss Tong in the restroom of the shopping mall a few days ago. At that time..."

Before she finished speaking, Tong Ruixin hurriedly interrupted her, "Rui'er, I... I suddenly remembered that I still have something to deal with, so I, I will take a step first, and I will find you another day! "

Without waiting for Shi Rui to respond, she turned around and left, no matter how she looked at her back, she looked like she was running away!
Shi Jian just came here to try it out, but she didn't expect Tong Ruixin to be so unstable.

Isn't this telling her clearly that there is a problem with this matter?If there is no problem, why is she panicking?

Thinking of her, he couldn't help but set his eyes on Shi Rui.

Shi Rui's whole body froze when she saw her, she became nervous for no reason, and stammered, "What, what's wrong?"

"You friend..." She spoke slowly, as if she was deliberately hanging on to Shi Rui's heart.

"Little Jane, that... If Rui Xin has ever offended you, don't worry about her, she definitely didn't mean it! She's a nice person..."

Shi Jian smiled, "It's okay, since she is your good friend, then invite her to your house some other day!"

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's the day after tomorrow! You invite her to your house as a guest, and I'll let the kitchen prepare and make some desserts or something."

The people from Dafang the day after tomorrow also returned to the capital.

She is not negotiating, but informing.

Because she left without giving Shi Rui any chance to disagree.

Leaving Shi Rui and her friends looking at each other in blank dismay, their minds full of question marks.
