Xiao Jinning walked up to her friends, and one of them immediately came up to her and asked fawningly, "Jinning, is that your second aunt? She looks so elegant. Who's the girl beside her? "
Xiao Jinning looked calm when she heard the first half of the question, but when she heard the second half, a cold gleam flickered across her eyes. She whispered, "She's my second uncle and aunt's daughter who has been missing for many years. They found her not long ago …"
"Missing daughter?" Suddenly, a woman said in a low voice, "I heard that a month ago, an illegitimate daughter of the Xiao Family came looking for you. She was chased out of the Xiao Family because she stole something. Is she your Second Uncle's illegitimate daughter?"
Illegitimate daughter?
A gleam of excitement flickered across Xiao Jinning's eyes. Yes, if Xiao Rou was labeled as an illegitimate daughter, she would never be able to hold her head high in the future!
She thought so, but a trace of anxiety flashed across her face. She said anxiously, "What nonsense are you talking about? My Second Uncle is not that kind of person. Stop talking, or my Second Aunt will be sad if she hears it."
As she expected, those people's eyes suddenly lit up and they began to discuss in low voices. "So it's true?"
Xiao Jinning frowned, walked to the styling room and said angrily, "I told you not to talk nonsense. Don't ruin the reputation of our Xiao Family. Besides, my second uncle will hold a press conference tonight to reveal Xiao Rou's identity."
"Your second uncle is so shameless!" A girl said righteously, "Did your second aunt agree?"
"How could she not agree?" Another girl said, "After all, their three sons are all grown up, and the Yang Family won't allow their daughter to have a stain of divorce!"
"Aiya, all of you stop discussing!" Xiao Jinning said, but she laughed in her heart. Xiao Rou, look, I'll make you regret coming back. Even if those people protect you, so what? You'll never be able to enter the upper class!
On the other side, Tang Xi and the foreign stylist "communicated" for a while, and soon the stylist brought out a beautiful princess dress which was very small. He looked at Tang Xi and said with a smile, "Dear little princess, would you like to try my masterpiece?"
He had originally planned to give this dress to his future daughter, but now it seemed that he would have to let this little girl wear it.
Tang Xi looked at the princess dress in his hands and the corner of her eyes twitched. Wasn't this a children's dress for children?
Yang Jingxian's complexion wasn't very good either. Although the dress was indeed very beautiful, it looked completely like children's clothing!
Seeing that Tang Xi and Yang Jingxian had misunderstood, the stylist hurriedly explained, "I think you may have misunderstood. Although this princess dress looks cute, it will feel different when you wear it. As long as you put it on, you will be the only princess in the world."
Tang Xi's heart skipped a beat. She raised her eyebrows and looked at the stylist, asking, "Are you sure?"
"Of course, I'm very confident in my design." The stylist said proudly, "Although your figure isn't very good, I'm confident that I can turn you into another girl."
On the other hand, under the "interrogation" of her friends, Xiao Jinning revealed Tang Xi's previous living environment and accidentally revealed that Xiao Rou had stolen her necklace, which immediately aroused the disdain of those socialites.
"Oh my god, how could there be such a shameless person? How could she steal your necklace?!"
"Yes, yes, and she dares not admit it."
"She has been caught and driven out of the house, but she still dares to come back!"
"This kind of person is too shameless! What is your Xiao family's old master thinking! If it were me, I would never accept her as my granddaughter. Isn't she ashamed of herself?! "
Xiao Jinning said softly, "Maybe it's because Grandpa is old, so he doesn't want the Xiao Family's bloodline to wander outside."
"Yes, he's old and muddle-headed. I wouldn't even want this kind of bloodline. It's a stain on my name!"
This girl's point of view coincided with Lin Ru's.
"Don't say that. Rourou just came out of the mountains and must have never seen the outside world. That's why she did such a thing." Xiao Jinning was very satisfied with those people's reactions, but this was not enough. She still wanted to be a well-educated, reasonable, and righteous young lady!
A slightly mean-looking man said, "You're just a kind-hearted person. She stole your necklace, but you still put in a good word for her. You'd better be careful of that kind of person. Maybe she'll hurt you one day!"
Xiao Jinning pretended to be surprised and said, "I don't think so. Rourou doesn't look like someone who would do such a thing."
"You may know a person's face but not his heart. You'd better be careful."
"By the way, will that bumpkin be the protagonist of tonight's banquet?" a girl suddenly asked.
Xiao Jinning nodded with a smile. "Although it's a banquet for Grandpa, it's actually for Rourou. Our family values Rourou very much."
Immediately, a disdainful voice sounded. "Value? Humph, you won't know until you lose face! "
Sure enough, Tang Xi had changed into the princess dress. She had thought that she would look out of place in such a beautiful children's dress, but when she saw herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but be stunned. It was so harmonious!
Rourou had grown up in the mountains and her skin was very dark. She was not in good health because of malnutrition. She looked old and ugly, and her skin condition and age were much older than her actual age. However, after changing into the cute skin color given by 008, she looked several years older than her actual age when she looked in the mirror. She really looked like an underdeveloped junior high school student, and the cute skin color matched well with the dress. Looking at the ordinary-looking little princess in the mirror, Tang Xi looked back at the stylist and said with a smile, "You did it. I'm very satisfied with your princess dress."
Yang Jingxian was also very satisfied with Tang Xi's dress, so she said to the stylist with satisfaction, "Okay, please make a hairstyle for her. We're in a hurry."
"I've already thought of her hairstyle." The stylist said as he stepped forward, made a hairstyle for Tang Xi with his bare hands and fixed it with several hair clips. Looking at the little princess in the mirror, he smiled and said, "Okay, it's done, charming little princess."
Tang Xi looked at the girl in the mirror. Although it was not obvious, she found that Rourou's facial features were really delicate and even somewhat similar to her before.
Yang Jingxian smiled. "I don't want you to appear at the banquet like this."
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. "Why?"
"I'm afraid that your mother will regret it and take you back."
