Just then, melodious music suddenly rang out in the noisy banquet hall, and the lights in the hall instantly went out. Just as everyone was in an uproar, a beam of light suddenly illuminated the four siblings standing on the spiral staircase.
Almost everyone's eyes were fixed on them.
Just then, the sound of the system prompt rang in Tang Xi's mind …
[System: Dear Queen, are you satisfied with the surprise I've given you?]
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. Not bad.
[System: As long as you're satisfied, Your Majesty.]
Do you have the ability to read minds?
[System: Your Majesty, don't forget that we're bound to each other now.]
Okay, 008, you're awesome!
[System: Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. Now go and crush the audience!]
Tang Xi smiled. 'Leave it to me.'
She held onto Xiao Yao's hand and looked down. Her gaze was like that of a queen looking down on all living things, unreachable. Xiao Yao stood closest to her. He originally wanted to reach out to support her so that she wouldn't fall down the stairs, but when he turned around, he saw the seductive smile on her face and the dazzling light in her eyes. In an instant, he held his breath.
He felt that if he breathed one more time, she might disappear.
Tang Xi knew what Xiao Yao was thinking. She had always had that kind of charm. Someone once said, 'As long as you smile like this, the whole world will be overshadowed.'
If Xiao Rou smiled like this before, she wouldn't be able to achieve the effect she wanted, but with the perfect embellishment of 008, she had perfected everything that should be perfect. At this time, with such a smile, it was enough to overshadow the audience.
With a smile in her eyes, Tang Xi said softly to Xiao Yao, "Brother, let's go."
Standing in the middle of the hall, Xiao Jinning looked at the shining Tang Xi. She clenched her hands so hard that her nails sank deep into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain.
Liu Chengyu, who was standing beside her, was completely dazed. She??? Came here?
Lin Ru looked at the girl walking down the stairs step by step like a princess, and a very uncomfortable feeling suddenly arose in her heart.
At this time, the lights in the hall were suddenly turned on. There was a beam of light on the stage, and Xiao Hongli stood on the stage and looked at the four siblings coming down the stairs. "Thank you for coming to my father's welcome dinner. Of course, I have something important to share with you tonight — my daughter, Xiao Rou. We've found her. Tonight is the night she returns to our family. I hope you can wish my daughter a bright future."
"So it's Mr. Xiao's daughter. She's so beautiful."
"Oh my god, I almost couldn't react when she walked down just now. She's so beautiful."
"Her temperament is simply too good. She's like a natural-born princess."
"Mr. Xiao's three sons are so handsome. My heart almost jumped out of my chest."
While they were talking, Tang Xi and the Xiao brothers had arrived at the hall. The others naturally made way for them. Tang Xi nodded to them to express her gratitude, and then walked towards Xiao Hongli and Yang Jingxian step by step.
The Xiao brothers escorted Tang Xi off the stage and didn't continue forward. Xiao Hongli took a step forward and reached out his hand to Tang Xi. Tang Xi held her dress with one hand and gave the other to Xiao Hongli. Xiao Hongli took her hand and led her onto the stage.
Xiao Hongli led Tang Xi to the microphone and handed the stage to her. Tang Xi took a look at Xiao Hongli, who thought she was afraid, and whispered 'Come on' to her. Tang Xi nodded gently and gave Xiao Hongli a reassuring look. She then walked up to the microphone and bowed to everyone with the most standard etiquette. Then she stood in front of the microphone and said, "Good evening, everyone. I'm Xiao Rou. Thank you for coming tonight."
Her voice was like a trickle of water, gentle and melodious, calming the anxious people in the hot summer night.
Thunderous applause rang out.
Tang Xi waited quietly for the applause to pass, and then said with a smile, "Thank you for your welcome and applause. I hope you can take care of me from now on. Thank you."
Xiao Jinning looked at Tang Xi who was standing on the stage. She wished she could fall off the stage and die, but Tang Xi was still standing there, enjoying everyone's attention!
No, it shouldn't be like this!
She should be the focus of everyone's attention! She should be the only heroine tonight! She should be!
Xiao Rou was nothing. She was just a country bumpkin from the mountains. When she saw these people, she should have timidly stepped back, not daring to go on the stage and be laughed at by everyone, instead of being like a fish in water and being loved by so many people like a fish in water!
She was the princess who was the center of attention!
"Is she your cousin?" Liu Chengyu's voice broke Xiao Jinning's reverie.
Xiao Jinning looked back only to find that Liu Chengyu's eyes were fixed on Xiao Rou. She immediately hated Xiao Rou even more, but she still smiled and nodded gently to Liu Chengyu. "Yes, she's my uncle's long-lost child."
Liu Chengyu nodded. "I see."
Xiao Jinning smiled and nodded softly. "Yes, Rourou suffered a lot outside. Now she can finally come back to our Xiao Family. It's not easy."
Liu Chengyu took a look at Xiao Jinning and thought she really cared about Xiao Rou, so he patted her on the shoulder with a smile and said softly, "You're too kind. It's not easy for everyone. Now she's become a steady princess. She didn't suffer in vain."
"Brother Chengyu, you can't say that. After all, Rourou had a hard time before." Then she smiled. "But as you said, Rourou's hard time has come to an end."
Liu Chengyu wrapped his arms around her waist and tapped her nose lightly. He teased, "You're always so sweet when you talk."
Hearing Liu Chengyu speak to her like this, Xiao Jinning was finally relieved. She looked at Tang Xi. Xiao Rou, even if you're the center of attention now, so what? The man who belongs to you always loves me and belongs to me. You can't take him away from me!
Xiao Rou on the stage didn't even look at her.
Although Tang Xi didn't like to socialize with others, she had a way to deal with compliments. That was to stare blankly at the bridge of the other party's nose and smile from time to time.
So she was staring blankly at someone's nose at this moment.
Many people came to ask Tang Xi when to go out for dinner, but they were all stopped by Yang Jingxian.
Because it was Yang Jingxian who stopped them, many people dared not say anything. With Xiao Hongli's current status, if he didn't care about the shares of the company, he wouldn't have come out to socialize.
