Forced to Date a Big Shot

Chapter 820: Don’t Be Afraid, I’m Here

Xiang Huai left the others and entered Xue Xi’s dressing room. When he entered and saw the situation before him, he almost could not help but laugh.

The corners of his lips curled up into a smile as he slowly walked to the dressing table. He saw the makeup artist busily heating Xue Xi’s hair while Xue Xi was in a sleepy state, looking like she’d be better off dead.

He could not help but ask, “Is it not done yet?”

The makeup artist said, “It’s going to be done soon! Ms. Xue is really beautiful. It’s very easy to put makeup on her face, but her hair is a little difficult to fix, so it’s taking some time.”

Xue Xi could not be bothered to dye her hair red again. After half a year, her black hair had grown out, and the red hair had slowly faded and became a natural color.

However, even so, it did not match her dress tonight. Hence, after the makeup artist ironed her hair, she coiled it up and planned to cover the red hair in her bun.

Hearing Xiang Huai’s voice, Xue Xi raised her eyes helplessly and lowered them again. She slowly said, “The time spent for this banquet could have gone instead to reading a few books and doing a few sets of master’s level problems. Sigh!”

Xiang Huai: “...”

The makeup artist could not help but laugh.

After a while, Xue Xi’s hair was finally done and she stood up.

When she was sitting there, it was not obvious. Now that she had stood up, Xiang Huai saw her overall appearance today.

His eyes were filled with surprise.

He had long known that the little kid was beautiful, but he did not expect her to be so beautiful!

She was wearing an off-shoulder pink princess dress today, which Ye Li had forced her to wear.

Ordinary people would look a little dark in pink, but Xue Xi’s skin was very fair. When the light shone on it, it made it look luminous. It accentuated her dress today and made her look ethereal.

As she moved up her exquisite and beautiful swan neck, one could see her exquisite makeup. To match her clothes, her eyelids were also pink. She no longer looked as cold as before and appeared a little shy.

Her hair was tied up, and there were curls on both sides of her cheeks. On the whole, the makeup artist only used a diamond hair clip and stuck it on top of her bun. She had no other accessories, but she still looked extremely noble, like a princess.

Xiang Huai’s eyes widened. He suppressed the fire in his heart and took a step forward, presenting his arm to her. “My girl, are you ready to go out?”

My girl...

Xue Xi blinked and felt that this term was kind of sweet.

She nodded and followed Xiang Huai out. As she walked, she said, “The zipper on my dress today is a little hard to pull~”

Xiang Huai instantly caught the double meaning. “It’s fine. I’ll help you pull it tonight.”

Not only would I help you pull the zipper down, but I would also help you take off your clothes... Cough, I can’t think about it. Just thinking about it makes my nose feel a little hot.

Xiang Huai rubbed his nose with his other hand and brought Xue Xi out.

Just as the two of them left and were about to go to the guest room to look for Ye Li and the rest, they heard the old lady’s words as they approached the door. “Mr. Xiang, Mrs. Xiang, don’t be deceived by Xue Sheng and Ye Li! Xue Xi is not their daughter at all!”

The two of them paused.

Xiang Huai instinctively turned to look at Xue Sheng and Ye Li, only to see that they were also a little stunned. He frowned and lowered his head to look at Xue Xi again.

The girl’s expression was a little cold and she seemed to be a little anxious.

Xiang Huai understood her feelings.

When she was adopted from the orphanage, Xue Xi’s attitude was indifferent. However, as Xue Sheng and Ye Li showed her good treatment, the coldness in her personality dissipated.

Although they had not spoken sweet nothings all these years, this family was very precious to Xue Xi.

Hence, how could she not be Xue Sheng and Ye Li’s daughter?!

Just as Xue Xi pursed her lips, Xue Sheng also said, “Mom, what nonsense are you spouting here?! I already said that I’ve done a DNA test and Xixi is my daughter!”

Old Lady Xue sneered. “You definitely won’t admit it now, right? After all, such a daughter can bring so many benefits. However, Son, let me tell you, Xue Xi is not your daughter at all. How can you be worthy of such a good daughter?”

Seeing that she was being unreasonable, Xue Sheng took a deep breath. “Enough, Mom. Stop being unreasonable here. What right do you have to say that Xixi is not our daughter?”

Beside her, Ye Li was also staring at Old Lady Xue angrily.

Xixi is my daughter! What is this old lunatic doing?!

Seeing that the two of them refused to admit it, Old Lady Xue smiled. “What right, you say? Because I know that your daughter is already dead!”

The entire room fell silent again.

Xue Sheng and Ye Li were trembling in anger.

After all, it was too hurtful for their daughter to be cursed by her biological grandmother.

Mr. Xiang and Lin Jing could not speak. This was the Xue family’s private matter.

Only Xiang Huai narrowed his eyes and asked, “Oh? How did you know that my parents-in-law’s daughter is already dead? If you don’t have any evidence, don’t spout nonsense here!”

After saying that, he even glanced at Liu Yiqiu, who was behind the old lady. This woman was already trembling in fear.

Seeing that they were all denying it, the old lady was so angry that she seemed about to faint. She shouted without care, “Because I was the one who got someone to steal Ye Li’s daughter back then and drown her!”

Her words silenced the entire room again.

Even Old Master Xue, who had followed her upstairs, was stunned.

The old patriarch was furious. “Old lady, what nonsense are you spouting here?!”

Old Lady Xue sneered. “I didn’t say anything crazy. Back then, an expert told my fortune, saying that Ye Li’s daughter was the one who’ll harm me. If she stayed, she would bring misfortune to the family! Hence, after Ye Li gave birth, I got someone to steal the child and drown her!”

There was actually no regret in her words at all. Moreover, she was making a solemn vow. “Liu Yiqiu also knows about this matter. I was the one who’d asked her to look for someone! How can a dead child come back to life?!”

She sneered and looked at Xue Sheng. “Back then, when you brought her back from the orphanage, I’d warned you not to be cheated by a baffling email! That DNA document must have been faked! But you didn’t believe me. Now that I think about it, you must have seen that Xue Xi is good-looking and know that she has a bright future, so you kept her despite knowing that she is not your daughter. Isn’t that right?”

The old lady then turned to look at Xue Xi. “Xue Xi, don’t be deceived by the two of them! These two are liars!”

Xue Xi widened her eyes and looked at Xue Sheng and Ye Li in a panic.

At this moment, Xiang Huai held her hand. “Don’t be afraid. Since I’m around, I can show evidence to prove your identity.”
