Tang Yi’s heart instantly felt like it had fallen into an ice cave.
It was cold.
It was impossible.
Thinking back to how he had treated Shi Xi previously, Shi Xi was like a swan flying from the sky, resting by the well.
And he, who was at the bottom of the well, actually had the delusion of marrying a swan.
Now that Shi Xi had shifted her gaze away, it was like a swan that had rested enough and was about to fly away.
The frog at the bottom of the well was still a frog.
Nothing changed.
Tang Yi only had one thought.
Quickly leave.
Escape from here.
“Let’s go,” said Tang Yi.
No one paid attention to him.
Tang Yi turned to look for Ao Fengyang.
Where was he?
Wasn’t he here just now?
Shi Xi did not find the person she wanted to see. She maintained her smile and stood beside Grandpa Hua.
Old Master Hua heard the exclamations and discussions at the banquet, but he was not affected.
His granddaughter was beautiful.
It was only right for them to cry out in surprise.
When their voices gradually weakened, Old Master Hua said, “Thank you, everyone, for coming to my humble abode and attending my granddaughter, Shi Xi’s birthday banquet.”
“19 years ago, misfortune befell my Wenyin’s daughter. In order to not let Wenyin be sad, we adopted Ruoling and taught her carefully, treating her as our own.”
“However, the loss of my granddaughter had always been engraved in my heart, and I couldn’t sleep day and night. The Hua family did charity and education, hoping to acc.u.mulate more blessings.”
“Now, the heavens have really sent my beautiful and intelligent granddaughter back!”
The audience applauded.
As Shi Xi listened to Grandpa Hua’s story, she thought to herself that he was indeed the head of the Hua family!
This was the art of speech!
When the applause died down, Grandpa Hua continued to raise his voice. “In order to repay the heavens for allowing my granddaughter Xi Xi to return, this old man is willing to take out another 100 million yuan for charity. I hope that more people will be reunited and happy!”
The applause was thunderous!
Shi Xi could not help but applaud.
To be able to take out 100 million yuan so easily for charity.
She really admired him.
After Grandpa Hua finished his speech, a servant happened to bring in an eight-layered cake.
This was the first time Shi Xi had seen such a tall cake.
She sighed in her heart. The chef of the Hua family was really good.
The two of them stood on the steps, just enough to look at the top of the cake.
The candles were lit, and the birthday song sounded at the right time.
Shi Xi glanced at the entrance again.
Why wasn’t Xie Yunzhou here yet?
Grandpa Hua: “Make a wish, Xi Xi.”
Shi Xi nodded obediently. She clasped her hands together and lowered her head to make a wish seriously.
Under the candlelight, the girl closed her eyes. Her long eyelashes cast a small shadow under her eyes. Her nose was small and upright, and her cherry lips were slightly pursed.
After making her wish, she raised her long eyelashes slightly, and the stars in her eyes shattered.
Shi Xi blew out the candle in one breath.
Grandpa Hua could not help but ask, “What wish did you make?”
“It won’t come true if I say it,” Shi Xi declined.
“Tell me, and I’ll fulfill your wish,” Grandpa Hua said generously.
Rich and willful.
“If Xi Xi doesn’t want to say it, Grandpa, don’t ask. Let’s cut the cake first.”
Shi Xi picked up the knife and cut off a piece before handing it to Grandpa Hua. “Grandpa, eat first.”
Grandpa Hua was very satisfied.
Sob, sob, sob. It was really a blessing in life to have a caring and beautiful granddaughter!!
He was so touched that he was about to cry.
The lights at the banquet were all lit up, and it was once again magnificent.
After Shi Xi cut the first piece, the servants helped cut the cake from the bottom and distributed it to the guests.
Grandpa Hua took the cake and said excitedly, “You’re so good to Grandpa. Grandpa didn’t dote on you for nothing! In the future, you will have a share of the Hua family’s business!”
Shi Xi: Old Master, wake up! I just cut a cake for you!
