How was that possible?!
She had clearly tampered with the string!
Why was Ning Yu playing so fluently?
Tao Yuxuan stood rooted to the ground in shock.
Shi Xi clapped silently as she witnessed everything, thinking to herself, ‘Don’t even think about framing the female lead.’
It was useless.
Tao Yuxuan refused to believe it and took a step forward. “The tone of this guzheng is really good.”
Ning Yu stood up. “Mm.”
Tao Yuxuan stretched out her hand and picked the strings of the guzheng at the spot where the strings had been tampered with.
Bang–
The string of the guzheng instantly burst open, and the sound of the guzheng strings reverberated.
The scene instantly became awkward.
Shi Xi pretended that nothing had happened and said, “Carry the guzheng down. The banquet will continue.”
……
Ning Yu laughed lightly. Her ice-like eyes swept past Tao Yuxuan and Shi Xi. Her gaze paused for a moment before she averted her gaze.

Such a low-level scheme had really made it hard for her… them?
Ning Yu knew that Tao Yuxuan must have had a hand in the tampering with the guzheng.
Was Shi Xi involved as well?
The banquet went on as usual.
Because of Tao Yuxuan’s encouragement, the guests had a deeper understanding of Ning Yu.
“I didn’t expect Ning Yu to be so beautiful and be able to play such a good tune.”
“To be able to play such a tune, her learning must be pretty good.”
“She went to school at No. 13 High School, so she probably learned the guzheng at the last minute.”
“What does it matter if her learning is good or not? The Shi Family can afford it anyway.”
Shi Xi heard the whispers of the people around her and felt extremely bored.
She was the female lead.
.
The god of learning!
Did they know what the god of learning was?!
Tao Yuxuan hovered beside Shi Xi and said indignantly, “You’re from No. 1 High School. She went to No. 13 High School. How can she be better than you?”
“That’s enough. Her test results have nothing to do with us. Stop looking for trouble with her,” Shi Xi reminded her.
If it weren’t for the fact that they were in the same female team, Shi Xi wouldn’t even bother to remind her.
“You are just too kind. That’s why you were bullied by others,” Tao Yuxuan said with heartache.
Shi Xi: “???”
‘Don’t talk like that! I don’t want to be a white lotus!’
Shi Xi connected the dots and realized that she was really a white lotus supporting actress.
Sob, sob, sob.
“I’m going to rest for a while. What about you?” Shi Xi was thinking about how to break up with Tao Yuxuan.
She couldn’t stay with the supporting actress anymore.
Otherwise, she would become cannon fodder sooner or later!
“I’ll go with you.” Tao Yuxuan held Shi Xi’s arm affectionately, as if they were good sisters.
Shi Xi: “…”
Forget it, putting the female cannon fodder in front of her was better than asking her to look for the female lead.
Shi Xi went straight to her room and began to rummage through her things.
“What are you looking for?” Tao Yuxuan asked.
“Snacks! I’m starving.” Shi Xi rummaged through the drawer, trying to find a bite to eat.
During the banquet, Han Chuan kept staring at her, afraid that she would take a bite of the hot food.
“The snacks should be in the living room. You never put these in your room.” Tao Yuxuan was worthy of being the host’s good friend, she knew this very well.
Shi Xi lay on the sofa, living a life worse than death.
Tao Yuxuan said in a low voice, “Xi Xi, are you just going to watch as Ning Yu takes away your things bit by bit?”
Shi Xi looked at the ceiling. “These were hers to begin with. I just returned them to her.”
Tao Yuxuan was at a loss for words. Clearly, she had not expected Shi Xi to say this.
“But, you’ve been in the Shi Family for 18 years! You and Sheng Yan have been childhood sweethearts. At least, you can’t just hand Sheng Yan over to her, right?” Tao Yuxuan thought hard. Then, she said, “At least, you need some shares of the company or something to guarantee your future life, right?”
When Shi Xi heard the first at least, her heart tightened.
When she heard the second ‘at least’, she just wanted to die in the same place.
