In fact, before she came here, Ning Xi was a little nervous and repulsed at the thought of meeting so many people who used to be in the Ning Family's circle.
After all, the shadow of the past was so deep that it still appeared in her nightmares.
However, when she really appeared here, when she was faced with the mockery of those people, including her biological parents, and Ning Xueluo's usual hypocrisy, she did not feel the anxiety and anxiety that she expected. She did not even feel angry or resentful …
It turned out that time could really change a person.
Before she realized it, she had already calmly faced the things that she once cared about the most.
"Yes, you're not only beautiful, but also confident. Your eyes are very charming. How should I put it, there's an indescribable power in them. It even gives me the feeling of a phoenix rising from the ashes …" Ning Tianxin said excitedly, and then she felt sorry for her.
A person couldn't change for no reason. Ning Xi didn't know what she had been through to become like this. Five years ago, Ning Tianxin suddenly went abroad. She always felt it was strange, but she didn't want to ask.
Ning Xi chuckled and held her chin. "Cousin, you're so artistic when you compliment me!"
"I'm serious!" Ning Tianxin said.
Ning Xi took a sip of wine and sighed. "Alas, love leads to worry and love leads to fear. If you leave your lover, you won't have any worries or fears. Maybe it's because you don't care anymore, so you naturally become like this. You can be strong without desire …"
Hearing this, Ning Tianxin's face turned pale. "Xiaoxi, don't be so stupid! Why do I feel like you're saying that everything is void? "
"Ahem …" Ning Xi didn't expect that she would scare Ning Tianxin. She hurriedly comforted her, "Sister Xin, I'm just joking. Don't be nervous!"
Sweat, she was currently fascinated by the beauty of the great demon king. How could she escape into emptiness? It would be great if she could really be emptiness!
…
Ning Xi chatted with Ning Tianxin in a relaxed manner. The people who were talking about Ning Xi's outfit saw that Ning Xi didn't seem to care at all, and gradually stopped talking because of boredom.
Their main task today was to please Ning Yaohua and the old man, not to pay attention to an insignificant adopted daughter.
As night fell, more and more guests arrived, and the banquet hall became even livelier.
Because Ning Yaohua had just made the old man unhappy, he was trying to please him in all kinds of ways. He had people bring out the birthday gift that he had long prepared.
The gift he prepared was an exquisitely crafted red coral screen with eight treasures. It was expensive, and everyone praised Ning Yaohua for his good taste and filial piety.
The old man took a look and only said some polite words. He didn't look too happy and was obviously still angry.
Ning Xueluo gave her father a reassuring look, and then glanced at Ning Xi imperceptibly. Then she walked up to Grandpa Ning with a hollow carved wooden box in her hand. "Grandpa, I wish you a happy birthday. This is the birthday gift I picked for you. I hope you like it!"
Seeing this, Zhuang Lingyu immediately said, "Dad, hurry up and open it! Xue Luo's company recently earned some money, and she used her own money to buy it for you. I said I would buy it for her, but she insisted on buying it herself. She said that was the only way to show her sincerity! "
Grandpa Ning took a look at his granddaughter, took the box from her hand, and slowly opened it. After seeing the gift in the box, he was moved.
Inside the box was a jade bead bracelet.
