On the other hand, Xunmi was a prideful person. She disdained to use such despicable methods.
More importantly, her pride did not allow her to lower her head. She was the eldest daughter of the Qin family.
She was born to be more respected than others. Eighteen years of teaching made her understand that.
She could not be abandoned. That was why she lost so miserably in the end.
Her ending was so miserable.
The guests who came over all thought that they were very discreet and moved their feet slightly.
Staying away from Qin Sheng and his illegitimate daughter. This kind of behavior was still very disdainful in their circle.
There was a reason why they did not start nagging on the spot.
If you did not have power, then you would definitely be openly cursing and criticizing.
If you had power, then you would consider it. At most, you would only secretly disdain and hate.
To put it bluntly, it was a matter of power and status.
But this time, XunMi swapped the roles of the two of them.
She received recognition and pity, while Qin HuaiSe was ignored.
"ZiXi ge, thank you."
At least at this moment, I am truly grateful to you.
Thank you for stepping forward at this time, whether I needed it or not.
She would remember this favor.
Her previous thoughts were only for a moment. Xunmi had already adjusted her state of mind.
Perhaps she should completely let go and integrate into this world. Only then would she be able to see things more clearly.
Tan ZiXi was both happy and conflicted. He did not want her to thank him.
That would make them seem distant, but he did not know what he truly wanted.
He reached out and gently rubbed her hair.
Seeing that she was not unhappy, his expression softened. His peach blossom eyes flashed with satisfaction.
"No need to thank me. You have to be happy. I like your smile." He was not good with words.
But he would protect her for that bright and beautiful smile. He hoped that she would not be sad.
Don't ask him why he made such a promise in his heart when they met for the first time.
Because he himself could not explain it. But he just wanted to do this.
Xunmi's eyes flashed with surprise. Then, she smiled.
It seemed that it was not bad to have someone who cared about her in a different world.
She did not have a troublesome father and a fake white lotus sister.
"Yes, I will definitely be happy. I will smile and live every day well."
"Perhaps the next time we meet, ZiXi ge will see an even brighter smile on my face."
He was half-joking and half-serious. His smile was light, but his eyes were burning.
It penetrated deep into Tan ZiXi's heart. In that instant, his heartbeat increased slightly.
Qin HuaiSe, who had only been paying attention to the beginning and not the end, immediately jumped up, "No, ZiXi ge, how could you possibly like her?"
"You clearly said that you hate arrogant young ladies the most. Why?"
Qin HuaiSe was already very angry because she didn't achieve her goal of making those people dislike Xunmi.
Later, when she saw the Prince Charming in her heart asking about that b * tch's well-being, she became even more jealous.
But now, she had been dealt a fatal blow.
Qin Xunmi was just an arrogant missy who was spoiled to the point that she considered everyone else beneath her. Why would she enter the eyes of her Prince Charming?
Then, why did she constantly let herself grow in the direction of weakness and docility all these years?
She couldn't accept the ugly jealousy in the depths of those widened eyes.
Tan ZiXi already didn't have a good impression of this woman, and now she was being so rude.
Especially when she dared to look at him with such a disgusting gaze. His eyes were filled with hostility.
Xunmi understood the meaning behind Qin HuaiSe's words. It seemed that Qin HuaiSe already knew about Tan ZiXi.
It seemed that the Prince Charming in the original novel who couldn't forget him had used some tricks to get together with him in the end.
But then again, for someone as unapproachable as Tan ZiXi.
Normal people really couldn't enter his eyes, unless there was something very special about them.
Thinking about it, Qin HuaiSe in the original novel knew about this and used it to her advantage.
"Since you're so sure that ZiXi ge doesn't like arrogant young ladies like me."
Xunmi followed Qin HuaiSe's lead and twisted the meaning of her words.
"Then tell me, how am I arrogant and willful? Also, tell me what kind of person ZiXi ge likes."
Heh … ridiculous. She only said that she liked her smile.
But when it came out of Qin HuaiSe's mouth, it was upgraded to liking her. Hehe …
The person involved was still here, yet she dared to say such twisted words. She even slapped Qin HuaiSe's face. How stupid.
Qin HuaiSe didn't know whether it was because she met her Prince Charming that her IQ dropped.
Or because she was provoked by Xunmi, her IQ dropped.
"ZiXi ge likes good girls who are gentle like water, well-behaved and obedient."
"Do I even need to remind you of Miss Qin's reputation? It's all over the outside world."
"Even if you're my sister, I can't let ZiXi ge be deceived by you."
She looked at Tan ZiXi with a face that said, "I'm doing this for your own good, so you have to see her true colors."
Then she looked at Xunmi with a face that said, "Even if you're my family, I won't compromise."
Xunmi didn't know what to say. She sighed in her heart.
She had overestimated the female lead's IQ. Even so, she was still able to play with the heirs of the other two families.
In the end, she even managed to marry Tan ZiXi. This was definitely because of the protagonist's halo.
With a cold snort, Xunmi said disapprovingly.
"I'm actually very curious as to what kind of reputation I, Qin XunMi, have been spreading like wildfire."
"Uncles, aunties, brothers and sisters, is there anyone who's kind enough to tell me?"
"All these years, I've been split between home and school, yet I've already been rumored to be so bad?"
She, Xunmi, wasn't that stupid. The only thing she said and did was when she was eight years old.
She let someone hit a girl who fell down in front of her, but insisted that she was the one who pushed her down.
She even cried and acted pitiful, as if she had done something to her.
At that time, she couldn't take it anymore and thought about her mother. She didn't care if the girl was still young or not.
She sent her to the hospital and forced the family to move out of the capital.
Because of this, the fact that Miss Qin hated people who acted pitiful in front of her was widely spread.
Later on, more and more inexplicable rumors began to spread.
In addition, with Xunmi's personality, she was indeed arrogant and didn't care to explain.
Now that it had spread to this point, it seemed to have really gotten out of hand.
The guests present looked at each other and tactfully shut their mouths.
Didn't they see that President Tan was already looking at them with that kind of eerie and terrifying gaze?
It was obviously a warning.
If they dared to say anything, tomorrow, no, maybe today, they would have to face a storm.
Actually, they really misunderstood why Tan ZiXi would look at them like that.
He just wanted to hear what outsiders were saying about her, nothing else.
