Chapter 193: Don’t Know Her

“Han, don’t say that. It’s my fault. I’ve wronged Shen Xi.” Su Ruowan meekly gazed at him, about to break into tears. “Don’t get mad her, okay?”

“Got it.” Gu Xiaohan swallowed his rage and gave his word, but he had ideas of his own on the side.

Let her go?

No way!

He had to get back at her after having suffered that beating.

Shen Xi was stopped at the door.

“Miss, please produce your invitation.” The security guard said courteously.

Shen Xi took a glance at Wei Feng.

Wei Feng shook his head. Chairman Yuan did not hand him an invitation.

The guests queuing after her were cultured and of noble birth. They would not make a scene out of this delay to their entry.

That however did not apply to those haughty nouveau riches who thought having money was all that. They were impatient and began to mock Shen Xi for taking up their time.

“Security, why waste your breath on them? Kick them out if they don’t have an invitation!”

“How dare you come without an invitation? Do you think every Tom, Dick, and Harry would be invited to Old Master Situ’s birthday?”

“Know your place. Just leave and stop wasting everyone’s time.”

True that not just anyone could attend the Situ family’s birthday celebration but judging by their attire, their clothes were probably less than two hundred bucks. That did not seem to stop them from coming to make a fool of themselves.

Paying no heed to the tauntings, Shen Xi politely and solemnly looked at the attendant. “Could I trouble you to inform Old Master Situ that I will pay him a visit another day?”

She had no idea if Old Master Situ had genuinely forgotten to give her an invitation or was he purposely trying to make her look bad. If it were the latter, she was better off taking her business elsewhere.

Many guests waiting at the door were puzzled by Shen Xi’s conduct. The young lady may not be wearing designer clothes, but she carried herself in a dignified manner. Could she be a prominent figure?

Spectating from a corner, Su Ruowan hurried over to play the good guy. She explained to the attendant when Shen Xi was about to leave. “I’m sorry, Sir. She’s my sister. The invitation is with me. She’s with me.”

Gu Xiaohan scoffed in disbelief.

What was going on with Wanwan?

The brat could not care less about her, yet Wanwan was still being nice to her. Was Wanwan a masochist?

The guests behind in the queue may not know Shen Xi, but Su Ruowan was a familiar face. They whispered among themselves that she was the fiancée of the Gu family’s young master.

The attendant glanced at the invitation before politely replying, “Miss, pardon our discourtesy. Please come in.”

It turned out she was with Young Master Gu. He would not have stopped her and risked offending the guests had she said so earlier.

“I don’t know her.” Shen Xi respectfully smiled and took a cold fleeting glance at Su Ruowan. She then turned back to the attendant. “Please inform Old Master Situ that the Situ family’s out of my league.”

With that, she walked away.

At this point, Shen Xi would rather turn down business with the Situ family.

Apparently, an influential family like the Situs was too good for a small fry like her.

Su Ruowan was dumbfounded and stood still for a moment. Her eyes welled up in grievance, arousing sympathy in the crowd as she played the victim.

Shen Xi, the b*tch. Why was she here at the Situ residence?

Judging by her words, Shen Xi was not just here for the birthday celebration.

Gu Xiaohan’s blood was boiling seeing that ingrate called Shen Xi. He blocked Shen Xi on her way out and hastily shouted, “Shen Xi, don’t push your luck.”
