178: Chapter 178 Banquet Begins (2)_1 178: Chapter 178 Banquet Begins (2)_1 “Xiao Xue, this isn’t Province C, please be a little more careful with what you say; so things can’t be ntioned carelessly,” the boy called Brother by the girl furrowed his brows and admonished the girl beside him.
His sister had been spoiled by their family, and back in Province C, their Liu Family could quite literally walk sideways without issue, and his sister was always held and pampered by everyone, which is why she developed the personality she has now.
But they were in the Capital City, where the Liu Family amounted to nothing.
Therefore, before attending Old Master Yu’s birthday banquet, his grandfather had specifically reminded him to keep an eye on his sister and not to create a fuss at the banquet or offend anyone.
“What do I need to be careful about?
I haven’t said anything,” Liu Qianxue retorted, but the look she gave Situ Xin was filled with malice.
“Xiao Xue, let’s go over there and say hello as well,” Liu Zhengyang rembered what his grandfather had said, about building good relationships with everyone at Old Master Yu’s birthday banquet.
Seeing that everyone was heading over to Situ Xin’s group, he also stood up, calling his sister to go and greet others.
However, Liu Zhengyang’s sister ungraciously remained seated with her arms crossed, “Hmph, I don’t see why I should go over to greet her.
Why doesn’t she co over to greet ?” Liu Zhengyang looked helplessly at his sister, who still didn’t understand her place, and shook his head.
He knew trying to reason with her was futile at the mont, so he said to her, “Xiao Xue, just sit here and don’t wander off.
I’ll go say hello and co right back.”
With that said, Liu Zhengyang walked towards Situ Xin and the group.
After Liu Zhengyang left, Liu Qianxue felt extrely uncomfortable and mumbled to herself, “Just because she’s a bit prettier, why does everyone flock to her?
My brother even wants to go greet her.
Why should I?
And Brother Qihao, Auntie always says he should take good care of , but the mont that girl shows up, they just leave behind.
It’s too much.”
While Liu Qianxue was grumbling, a girl ca over and sat next to her, saying, “You don’t like that Situ Xin either, right?
I can’t stand her; she thinks she’s soone important, believes she’s a real Princess that everyone should revolve around.”
Liu Qianxue, caught up in her own complaints, didn’t expect soone to sit down and agree with her.
“Why do you hate this girl?”
“Because that Situ Xin took away all my happiness; my mother died because of her.
And my grandfather and father, because of her, they hate and neglect .
You don’t know, at ho, even the servants dare to bully .” The one who had co over to speak with Liu Qianxue was Zhang Siya.
She had arrived at the banquet hall earlier, but since she was not favored by her grandfather and father, everyone knew about it, and so she usually sat alone on the side.
Today, when she saw that Situ Xin, who normally never appeared at such gatherings, showed up, she couldn’t keep the resentnt in her heart from spilling out.
Conveniently, Zhang Siya had overheard the conversation between Liu Qianxue and her brother Liu Zhengyang, and she seized the mont when Liu Zhengyang left to sit next to Liu Qianxue.
“Situ Xin really is awful, she caused the death of your mother, and your grandfather and father still side with her, that’s just too much,” Liu Qianxue usually received too much care at ho and was never as intelligent or talented as Situ Xin, so she was easily deceived by Zhang Siya’s lies.
anwhile, Situ Xin who was enjoying the food blissfully unaware that people were already concocting stories about her.
“Baby, eat a little less, just enough to fill the stomach.
We’ll be having lunch soon,” Situ Che said, doting on Situ Xin as she continuously stuffed pastries into her mouth, yet her actions remained graceful.
“If you like the pastries here, I’ll get Brother Jie to pack so for you when we leave,” Loo Jie said, taking out a handkerchief he had with him to wipe Situ Xin’s mouth.
The gestures of Situ Che and Loo Jie shocked those who ca over to greet them and were acquainted with the two.
They knew that both were sister-obsessed, but they had never seen them like this with Situ Xin before.
“Che, Jie.
I never knew you guys had such a tender side,” a classmate of Situ Che and Loo Jie watched them with amusent.
He thought his comnt would provoke a reaction, but the two just glanced up at him and continued attending to their business.
Situ Xin, upon hearing the two’s comnts, finally put down the pastry in her hand and looked up at the speaker, “Of course, my Brother Che and Brother Jie are the best to .”
“Baby, am I not good to you?” Situ Jin, who was sitting on the side, heard Situ Xin’s comnt and imdiately protested, wearing a look of hurt.
“Brother is also very good to ,” Situ Xin broke out in a cold sweat.
Her brother, when dealing with her, was completely different from his usual self.
“Excuse , are you Situ Jin?” Just as Situ Xin finished speaking, Liu Zhengyang appeared.
He had been too far away to see clearly before, but as he approached and saw Situ Jin’s face, he felt all the more that he resembled a childhood friend he used to play with.
When Situ Jin heard his own na, he looked up.
Seeing Liu Zhengyang, he quickly stood up.
“Are you Liu Zhengyang?” Apart from being taller than when he was a child, Liu Zhengyang hadn’t changed at all, and with Situ Jin’s genius intellect, he recognized him instantly.
The Liu family used to live in the sa compound as Liu Zhengyang when he was young, but when his father was assigned to a position elsewhere and his grandfather fell ill, his father moved his grandparents to Province C to better care for them, and thus he and Situ Jin were separated.
“You rascal, after so many years, you’ve finally decided to co back,” Situ Jin had played with Liu Zhengyang since they were little.
Although they had been apart, the bond they shared from their childhood still remained.
