Chapter 51, The Birthday Banquet

From then on, Xuan Ruoxi was her name, and the dean regarded her as his successor. Not only did he send her to college, but he also taught her a lot of things.

Xuan Ruoxi didn't look for her biological parents, her thought was that since they would abandon her, then they must not want her either. There is no need to delay your life in order to find unnecessary people. I have to say that Xuan Ruoxi is a strong girl. Both academically and mentally, they are outstanding.

"If you pity my sister, I'm going to get engaged. Dean, I promised Huo Shao. You rejoice for me too. Looking at their relics, Xuan Qixi muttered to himself. Closing the box, his eyes fell on the small key, and he didn't open the diary after all. Closing the drawer, Xuan Ji walked out of the room.

I don't know when it rained outside, looking at the splash falling from the sky, Xuan Zhen regretted to think of the autumn rainy season that year-

"It's a pity, Daddy can't accompany you anymore, you have to live well, and when Daddy goes, you take Daddy's letter to your uncle." Between the green mountains and green waters, it was originally elegant and dusty. Xuan was dressed in plain clothes, wearing a white juan on his head, and his immature face was pale and haggard.

Kneel on the wet ground and bow deeply to the tombstone. Daddy is gone, leaving her alone. Carrying a simple bag, I crossed the mountains and mountains and came to my mother's mother's house. Stand in the doorway, looking up at the tall plaque.

The Shen family! Glancing back at the way she came, the fourteen-year-old slowly walked through the open door.

It was a turning point in her life, and it was also a catastrophe for her.

Three years later, for the sake of the family, she married the new emperor, became the queen, and became a caged bird.

More than 20 years of loveless marriage has left her physically and mentally exhausted.

Power, status, family interests. Love and hatred, one by one, all want her life.

Finally, in a few years after the world was peaceful, she ended her life of more than 40 years.

Love, far away from her.

In this life, can she have it?

Huo Jiyun! She wanted to take a gamble.

At the banquet three days later, Xuan Zhen came to the address on Lin Xi's invitation as promised.

Looking at the luxury villa in front of him, Xuan Zhen hesitated. Take a deep breath, pick up the guqin and walk into the villa gate.

There are a lot of luxury cars parked around, the villa is a three-storey building, and there is a huge courtyard after entering the gate. The interior is decorated with flowers, balloons, and streamers. There are ladies in high-end evening dresses, and there are men in crisp suits.

In addition to Lin Xi's daughter, the Lin family also has a teenage son. studied abroad at a young age, and Lin Xi's father was a wealthy man. Be a person and do things vigorously, Mrs. Lin is a full-time wife, and she usually doesn't have any big hobbies, just asking a few wealthy ladies to do beauty shopping, hanging out or something.

Xuan Xi walked into the villa, Lin Xi saw her, and after looking up and down, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, and a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes.

"Dean Xuan, you're here! Welcome. ”

"Miss Lin. Happy birthday, little heart is not respectful. ”

"Ah, why did you bring a gift? It's good that you're here. Lin Xi took the gift with a smile, his eyes just glanced at it, and he didn't mean to open it. Xuan Ji knew that she didn't like her gift, so she smiled indifferently.

"What are you carrying?" Lin Xi looked curiously at Xuan Zhenxi's back.

"It's a guqin, didn't Miss Lin say she wanted to see a performance? The piano is so big that I can only use it to make a fool of myself. ”

"Guqin! That's a good idea, I haven't heard of it yet. Piano, I have it at home. Don't you tell me that you can do anything? Lin Xi looked at her with a smile, and Xuan Xi smiled lightly.

"Tsk, that Dean Xuan is really a talented girl, I'll have to appreciate it later."

Xuan Zhen nodded regretfully. At this time, someone came in from outside the door, it was Ji Xiangxiang.

"Hey, Xiangxiang is here." When Lin Xi saw Ji Xiangxiang, he put aside Xuan Zhen and went to greet him.

"Of course I want to attend your Miss Lin's birthday party. Gift! Not a tribute. Ji Xiangxiang handed over a box, Lin Xi looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised!

"Wow, isn't this the latest 'Orpheus' fragrance?"

"Yes, it took me a lot of effort to get it, how is it, sincerity?"

"Sincerity, absolutely full of sincerity." Lin Xi said and deliberately glanced at Xuan Zhenxi, and deliberately sent her to the box to compare with Ji Xiangxiang's box. The meaning is obvious, it's too ordinary to dislike her.

Xuan Zhen didn't care either. They are young ladies and daughters, what will they lack in their living materials? It's nothing more than deliberately embarrassing her. Naturally, she didn't care.

"Hey, isn't this Dean Xuan of the Welfare Institute? Why did she come too? Ji Xiangxiang pretended to be surprised and asked.

"Of course I was invited. Xiangxiang, Dean Xuan is a talented girl, you can appreciate her talent tonight. If the performance is good, ask your dad to donate more. ”

"Oh, I see, that's the case, that's a good feeling. I'm looking forward to it. Ji Xiangxiang smiled and looked at Xuan Zhen.

Outside the villa, Huo Jiyun came out of the car and immediately attracted a lot of attention. Huo Shao, that is the number one person among the golden bachelors.

How many women's dream lovers, ideal objects. His appearance today also made the women present ready to move.

"Lin Xi, you can. Can you please move Huo Shao? Lin Xi's little sister couldn't help but be envious.

"Heh, what's that, Huo Shao and I have known each other since we were children. Our two families are old friends. Naturally, he's coming to my birthday party. ”

"Then what is your relationship with Huo Shao? Childhood! Several women got together, and Xuan Ji Xi stood behind them.

"I can't talk about the relationship, my childhood sweetheart—it's also a little interesting." Lin Xi deliberately said loudly, she knew that Xuan Ji was behind them.

"Tut-tut, look at your pride, you can introduce us later."

"Of course."

He's coming. Xuan Ji Xi followed everyone's gaze and looked at Huo Jiyun who was striding over. He's just here for a walk tonight, and he'll have to go to the welfare home to find a pity later.

"Ji Yun! I'm glad you came to my birthday party. Lin Xi's outfit today is the focus of the audience.

"It's a gift, I wish you a happy birthday." Seeing Huo Jiyun's gift, Lin Xi smiled.

"Ji Yun, it's the best gift for you to come, it's really breaking your bank." Lin Xi said shyly, the smug brilliance in the corners of her eyes made the women on the side envious, jealous and hateful.

"Brother Huo." Ji Xiangxiang couldn't help but come up to say hello, but she didn't want to be as sweet as before, but seemed to be well-behaved.

"Hmm." Huo Jiyun just nodded at her lightly. Ji Xiangxiang secretly clenched her fists, thinking of what she would have to do, and she began to feel apprehensive in her heart.

Huo Jiyun's eyes looked behind Lin Xi, and a trace of surprise flashed in his dark eyes.

It's a pity! Xuan Ji met his surprised gaze, slightly embarrassed. After nodding, he smiled slightly.

Lin Xi followed Huo Jiyun's gaze and turned to look at Xuan Jixi.

"Oh yes, I invited Dean Xuan to add to the atmosphere of the dinner tonight. Ji Yun, Dean Xuan, she wants to play the guqin. I'm looking forward to it. ”

Huo Jiyun didn't say anything, but came to Xuan Jixi.

"Why are you here?"

"It was invited by Miss Lin." Didn't he come too.

"We'll go back later."

"Okay." Seeing them speak softly, looking like they had a lover's intention, Lin Xi gritted his teeth and endured, and quietly exchanged a look with Ji Xiangxiang.

"I'm glad that everyone can come to my Lin Xi's birthday party tonight. As a newcomer to the industry, I am honored and grateful. My company: The sun is here. It is a professional new media network operation. I hope that in the future, I can convey more positive energy information to the industry people present. It can also better play the role of the Internet era. For this reason, I am willing to auction all the gifts I received at tonight's birthday party, as well as some of my personal treasures. Proceeds from the auction will be donated to charitable structures. As soon as this remark came out, it received applause from the audience.

"In addition, I specially invited the director of our Licheng Welfare Institute, Miss Xuan Ruoxi. She will bring us her talent show. Following Lin Xi's gaze, everyone saw Xuan Ji Xi sitting on the side, she was dressed in a cheongsam, dignified and elegant, with an outstanding temperament, and a guqin in front of her.

"The director of the welfare home is so young?" Some people who saw Xuan Ji for the first time were surprised.

"It's still a big beauty." Many young men do not hide their amazement.

Huo Jiyun frowned, if it was beautiful, he knew. It's just Lin Xi's actions tonight - looking sideways at Lin Xi with a smile on his face, exquisite dress, and a confident face.

Is he too careful?

Xuan Zhen slowly took his luggage, and then sat down.

The melodious sound of the piano, mixed with modern elements, is not as passionate as the mountains and flowing water played in Huo's Villa before. It's gentle and fluent, with a bit of festivity.

The crowd listened quietly, and most of the people present did not know much about classical music, but those who knew modern musical instruments were eager to try it.

"Lin Xi, you want to introduce this beauty to me." There was a mixed-race man beside Lin Xi. He is tall and has white skin and red lips. He looked at Xuan Zhen's eyes with amazement and playfulness.

Lin Xi squinted at him, the corners of his mouth went up, but he was sneering in his heart.

This man is a playboy, a standard rich second generation. He was the best looking of her group of friends. Originally, he was still pursuing her, and his true nature would have been exposed.

However, it is better to save her from what means she is using.

"What, we have a new goal again?" The man named John smiled frivolously.

"Lin Xi, don't get me wrong, you are my true daughter. The other women are all acting on the spot. "Humph! Dead man, what do you think of her Lin Xi? Spare tire? Thinking about beauty, if it weren't for the fact that he had a good skin and was useful, she would have ignored him a long time ago.

"Then it's up to your luck tonight."

"Luck - I've always had good luck." The man's face was full of confidence, and the hunting gaze in his eyes was even more enthusiastic.

After the song, Xuan Zhen got up and bowed dignifiedly.

Huo Jiyun was the first to applaud, and the others also applauded.

"Thank you very much Dean Xuan for your talent show, and now I announce that the banquet has officially begun!" After Lin Xi finished speaking into the microphone, the guests present began to drink and chat, walking around.

Villa at night, brightly lit. Champagne cuisine, guests gathered.

Huo Jiyun was invited by Lin Xi's father to talk to several people in the industry.
