"I'm sorry, we..." Just by looking at Xia Huang's expression, she knew that her intention had not been to apologize. Shen Xi wanted to reject her.
"Go, go, go, let's go." Zhao Yuan hastily said, pulling Shen Xi back as she was about to refuse.
Zhao Yuan had heard that the old chief's birthday banquet was very lively. Almost half of the famous and influential people in the capital would attend, so she, too, wanted to go and experience it.
"That's good. I'll get someone to prepare gowns for you. It'll be quick." Xia Huang said, not giving Shen Xi a chance for rejection.
Shen Xi sighed to herself. She did not know if her maternal and paternal grandfathers would be present at the old chief's birthday banquet. If they were, wouldn't she be immediately recognized?
Shen Xi felt her head hurting and was extremely vexed. However, if she were to let Zhao Yuan go to the birthday banquet alone, Shen Xi would not be at ease. In the end, Shen Xi chose a compromise.
