“You want to leave as soon as I come?” Second Xie said coldly. “Why? You don’t want to see me?”

Shi Xi:You guys came too late, alright?

If you had come earlier, you might have had a share of the birthday cake.

“Xi Xi still has work tomorrow, so she needs to rest early today.” Hua Xuanhe had always been good at dealing with people. “If Second Master wants to drink, I’ll accompany him.”

“What’s the point of drinking with you?” Second Xie snorted and turned to leave.

However…

Shi Xi observed his footsteps and noticed that he seemed a little unsteady.

Just like…

“I heard that some time ago, his leg was broken. Since then, he’s been a little lame.” Hua Xuanhe whispered, “Old Master Xie spent a lot of money to treat him. If he walks slowly, you won’t be able to tell.”

Shi Xi thought to herself that he deserved it.

If Second Xie dared to do anything, she didn’t mind breaking his neck!

“Then I’ll leave first.” Shi Xi prepared to leave.

The filming was tomorrow morning and the variety show was in the afternoon, so the schedule was a little tight.

“Xi Xi.” Hua Ruoling stepped forward and stopped Shi Xi.

“What’s wrong?” Shi Xi paused and asked warily.

Why did she call her so affectionately?

They didn’t seem that familiar.

“I just want to chat with you. You don’t have to be so guarded against me.” Hua Ruoling smiled gently, looking harmless.

“What’s there to talk about between us?” Shi Xi asked back.

Hua Ruoling felt awkward being ignored. She looked at Hua Xuanhe, hoping that he would help her out.

After all, Hua Xuanhe had always been gentle to others.

However, Hua Xuanhe didn’t seem to hear her and didn’t say a word.

“I just wanted to ask what you’ve been busy with recently. Mom prepared a room for you, but you haven’t come back to stay.” Hua Ruoling’s words were thoughtful.

Hua Xuanhe looked at Shi Xi as well.

They all hoped that Shi Xi could return to the manor.

“There’s been a lot of filming and variety shows recently. I’ll definitely come back when I’m done,” Shi Xi said vaguely.

Next time.

“Then finish your work early. You’re Mom’s biological daughter. She misses you very much and wants to be closer to you.” Hua Ruoling’s tone was friendly and her smile was gentle.

If it was Shi Xi’s first time meeting Hua Ruoling, she would definitely be fooled by her appearance.

Shi Xi could not help but feel a little emotional.

Back then, she had also thought of ways to get Ning Yu and Mother Shi closer.

She did not expect that now…

“Where is she?” Shi Xi stopped in her tracks. “I’ll go see her first.”

She had clearly agreed to come to the banquet hall together.

However, Hua Wenyin did not appear for long before disappearing.

“Mom has never liked this kind of banquet. She must be in the glass greenhouse now,” Hua Ruoling said.

“She likes flowers and plants.” Hua Xuanhe nodded. “If she doesn’t have any inspiration when designing, she’ll go to the glass greenhouse to look for inspiration.”

“I’ll go to the glass greenhouse.”

“I’ll get the butler to bring you there.” Hua Xuanhe was about to call the butler.

“The butler is so busy at the banquet today. I’ll take Xi Xi to the glass greenhouse to take a look,” Hua Ruoling said.

Hua Xuanhe looked at Shi Xi.

“I know where the glass greenhouse is. I’ll go there myself.”

They were only going to the greenhouse.

There was no need to mobilize so many people.

“Okay, call me if you need anything.”

“I’ll go with Xi Xi. I happen to have something to say to her.” Hua Ruoling looked at Shi Xi.

However, Shi Xi did not reject or agree to it. She just walked out.

Hua Ruoling bit her lip and paused for a moment before following Shi Xi out..
