Chapter 234 The birthday banquet begins!
Si Xuxia's voice was very cold.
Crazy woman?
Si Xuxia actually called herself a crazy woman?
Zhou Zixiao's heart slowly grew cold at that moment.
The Si Xuxia in front of me was a complete stranger.
It's terrifyingly unfamiliar.
Zhou Zixiao had barely managed to find the Si family's door when she saw Si Xuxia like this. She was completely deflated and was carried away by two bodyguards and thrown to the side of the road. She couldn't get up for a long time.
The Si family is a prominent and wealthy family, holding the No. 1 position in Hong Kong, so they often attract strange women who want to climb the social ladder.
Therefore, this scene did not attract the attention of others.
No one even glanced at Zhou Zixiao; she was like an insignificant speck of dust.
Zhou Zixiao had no idea how she got back to the hotel.
The Zhou family is now on the verge of bankruptcy due to the suppression they have faced.
Her bank cards were also frozen.
She could only raise money to continue her treatment at the hospital by mortgaging her jewelry and designer bags.
As for City A, how could she possibly have the face to go back?
Before coming to Hong Kong, she had already made a bold statement, saying that if she were to return to City A, it would be as the future granddaughter-in-law of the Si family.
But now.
Not only did she fail to gain the approval of the Si family, but the Zhou Group also went bankrupt because of her!
Even if she dares to go back, her father will not let her go!
After leaving the pawnshop, Zhou Zixiao went to the hospital.
She sat lifelessly across from the doctor, listening to the doctor's diagnosis, "Ms. Zhou, I'm not exaggerating, your condition is very serious. Your liver function will also be affected, and you will have to rely on hormone medication to maintain your vital signs in the future."
sorry.
Hearing this, Zhou Zixiao truly regretted it.
She suddenly remembered Jiang Ning's words.
After all, paper can't contain fire.
If she had foreseen this outcome, she shouldn't have taken this step in the first place!

at the same time.
Si family.
Madam Si's birthday banquet has already begun.
The guests haven't all arrived yet.
Madam Si, along with her eight sons and daughters-in-law, stood at the door to greet the guests.
Jiang Ning, dressed in that expensive sky-blue dress, stood in the center, like a star surrounded by the moon.
The thirteen grandsons of the Si family were entertaining guests in the banquet hall.
Madam Si's birthday banquet was not held at the hotel.
The Si family has a dedicated banquet hall.
More than 2000 square meters.
Extremely luxurious.
As the name suggests, the dress is predominantly sky blue. The off-shoulder design cleverly reveals the beautiful collarbone and elegant swan neck, while the neckline is studded with rings of natural diamonds.
The sparkling, dazzling design, which was originally intended to overshadow the main subject, actually made Jiang Ning look like a lotus emerging from the water, with unparalleled beauty. Her face was not overshadowed by the diamonds; instead, the diamonds became mere embellishments.
In addition, she is tall, has a graceful figure, and outstanding demeanor. Standing in a crowd, she truly embodies the phrase "a crane standing among chickens."
There was much discussion in the banquet hall.
"Did you see the dress Miss Shi is wearing? It's sky blue! A limited edition, there's only one in the world, and it's said to cost 80 million! The Si family is too good to her. She's just a granddaughter, yet she's wearing a sky blue dress. Even their own granddaughter probably doesn't get this kind of treatment."
That's the blue of the sky!
Money alone cannot buy it.
You also need power.
What Jiang Ning wore was not just a beautiful and luxurious dress, but also a symbol of her status.
“The Si family only had one daughter in Si Huashang’s generation, and now the grandchildren only have Shi Sheng as their granddaughter. If she is not favored, who will be?”
"But not only is she lucky, she's also so beautiful. No wonder she's the daughter of Hong Kong's number one beauty and Beijing's number one scholar."
"I really envy Miss Shi. She is favored not only by the Shi family but also by the Si family."
"..."
"By the way, I heard that Miss Ryan, a noblewoman from Country P, will also be attending Madam Si's birthday banquet today. I wonder who is better, Miss Ryan or Miss Shi?"
"Miss Shi is definitely prettier."
"That's not necessarily true. Although Miss Shi is very beautiful, Europeans have more defined features. And Miss Ryan is also a famous beauty in P country. It is said that the number of men pursuing her could circle L continent several times hand in hand."
"I heard that Miss Ryan is not only here to attend Madam Si's birthday banquet, but also to China to see the divine physician Wentian."
"The Divine Physician Wentian?" someone continued, "We're already in Hong Kong, why are you looking for the Divine Physician Wentian? I've heard that Miss Shi's medical skills are excellent. Old Madam Si was on the verge of death before, and it was Miss Shi who cured her. Who knows, Miss Shi and Miss Ryan might even become good friends!"
“Become good friends? Absolutely not! Miss Ryan came to the Si family’s birthday banquet partly to see the divine doctor Wentian, and partly because of Madam Si and the deceased Master Si. Moreover, I heard that in P country, Miss Ryan’s best friend is a princess of the P country’s royal family!”
Although Jiang Ning was greatly favored by the Shi and Si families, she was ultimately not a real princess.
Did Jiang Ning become good friends with Miss Ryan first?
difficult!
It's as difficult as ascending to heaven.
"Besides, the Divine Physician Wentian can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded. Can Miss Shi do that? You don't know, do you? The Ryan family has a terrible curse. The sons of their family are born with a terminal illness and will not live past the age of 28. Miss Ryan's two older brothers died at the age of 27. There is only one older brother left, who is already 27 years old this year. He is also the only heir of the Ryan family. Miss Ryan sought out the Divine Physician Wentian in order to cure the Ryan family's terminal illness."
"..."
Hearing the voices of the crowd, Jiang Ning's face remained expressionless and calm.
She remained so calm, as if she wasn't the main subject of the discussion.
Madam Si took Jiang Ning's hand and introduced her to the Si family's relatives one by one.
"Shengbao, this is your great-aunt."
"Hello, Auntie," Jiang Ning greeted politely.
Auntie held Jiang Ning's hand, her face full of kind smiles, "They're right, our Shengbao is really outstanding in appearance, as beautiful as a big star!"
After saying that, Auntie looked at Old Madam Si and continued, "Sister Anhao, Shengbao looks just like you!"
Hearing this, Old Madam Si was overjoyed. "Really?"
“Of course it’s true,” Auntie said earnestly, “Shengbao looks exactly like you when you were young!”
Madam Si was even happier. She personally escorted her great-aunt to the banquet hall. After returning, she continued to stand at the door to greet guests with her son, daughter-in-law, and Jiang Ning.
Normally, someone of Madam Si's stature wouldn't need to stand at the door to greet guests. Today is her birthday banquet, so she only needs to wait for others to come and pay their respects.
The reason he personally stood at the door to greet guests was to let everyone know Jiang Ning's status in the Si family's hearts!
Guests arrived in waves.
At that moment, Madam Shi walked in from outside with her assistant, smiling at Madam Si: "Old sister, congratulations! May you live long and healthy lives, like a rock in the Southern Mountain, blessed with both happiness and longevity."
"Thank you," Madam Si said immediately upon seeing Madam Shi. "Qiongfang, the journey is long, and your health is not good to begin with. Shengbao is here, so why did you have to make the trip yourself?"
Madam Shi continued, "You are Shengbao's maternal grandmother. How can your birthday celebration be complete without me? I will come not only this year, but also next year and the year after. When you turn one hundred, I will definitely come. You must not look down on me!"
"Qiongfang, then I'll take your good wishes. When that time comes, Huashang will surely be back, Nanxing will be better, and our whole family will be reunited!" As she finished speaking, Old Madam Si's eyes were full of longing.
She firmly believes that that day will definitely come.
Madam Shi smiled and nodded; she was also looking forward to that day.
After leading Madam Shi to her seat in the banquet hall, Jiang Ning continued to greet the guests with Madam Si and her uncles and aunts.
Just then, a murmur of conversation suddenly arose at the doorway.
"Wow! It's Miss Ryan!"
"Miss Ryan has arrived!"
