Everyone turned around and saw Mu Yali in an aqua blue dress. Her long hair was tied into a princess's head, and there was a pink diamond around her neck. She looked beautiful.
At this moment, she was walking over with elegant steps and a dignified smile on her face. "I'm sorry, today is the day my sister returns to the family. I just returned from abroad and couldn't come on time. This is my fault. Please don't mind me."
She emphasized the word 'sister'. It was not difficult to hear the sarcasm in her words.
Seeing her, the Mu family understood everything, especially Mu Wen. His face was as black as the bottom of a burnt pot. He was too ashamed to face Mu Min.
Mu Yali looked at Qin Xi and blinked her big eyes. She said sarcastically, "Sister, I'm sorry. I came back in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts. But don't worry, we still have a long way to go. I'll make it up to you later."
Qin Xi smiled and shook her head. "You've already given me a big surprise."
Her gaze landed on Lin Yu and Han Shuangshuang, her meaning very obvious.
Mu Yali pretended to be surprised. "Sister, what are you talking about? Do you think I did this?"
"Didn't you?" Qin Xi imitated her and blinked. She said with a faint smile, "If you're innocent, can you swear too?"
Mu Yali stopped talking.
She had always felt that Qin Xi was very mysterious. Back then, when she saw Qin Xi, she felt uncomfortable. It was not because she was jealous, but because she felt that Qin Xi would s.n.a.t.c.h everything from her. Now, it all came true. She just wanted to take back what belonged to her.
That was all.
"Forget it. Let the banquet continue!"
Qin Xi stopped arguing with Mu Yali. To her, Mu Yali had already fallen into a trap. In the eyes of the Mu family, Mu Yali was already an intolerable existence.
Seeing that Qin Xi was ignoring her, Mu Yali was a little anxious. If Qin Xi did not flare up out of humiliation and make a fool of herself, wouldn't her goal today fail?
She grabbed Qin Xi's wrist.
"Sister, don't go. I heard from this man that you used to live in a cowshed and eat pig food. I really feel sorry for you. You should have been living a luxurious life like me. It was all your mother's fault. Sister, it's been hard on you all these years!"
Qin Xi suddenly looked at her and exuded a powerful pressure. Others could not feel this pressure, but Mu Yali could feel it.
Unable to resist the pressure, she was forced to get on her knees in front of Qin Xi.
Hearing Mu Yali try to sow discord between her and her daughter, Mu Min pushed Chu Yi away and walked up to Mu Yali in three steps. She raised her hand and slapped her face.
Before Mu Yali could recover from the shock of being forced to kneel, she felt a burning pain on her face. She looked at Mu Min and Qin Xi in disbelief. She felt like she was nailed to the pillar of shame for people to mock and ridicule.
Tears instantly streamed down her face as she cried, "You hit me? What right do you have to hit me? Who do you think you are? You're just a woman abandoned by your husband. What right do you have to hit me?"
With a bang, her face was c.o.c.ked to the side by another slap. This time, it was Qin Xi who did it. "Are you awake now?"
