Wu Minxia’s heart skipped a beat, and her anger rose. “Xing Shu, what do you mean by not bothering you? We have raised you for so many years. You’ve usurped Linlin’s identity for so many years and almost ruined her reputation. How dare you say that we shouldn’t bother you? You’re really heartless. We’re holding a banquet for Linlin tomorrow night. You have to come and apologize to Linlin personally. You owe Linlin for the rest of your life.”

Wu Minxia said it so matter-of-factly that Xing Shu found it hilarious. “Is that so? Then, so be it.”

Wu Minxia shrieked, “Xing Shu, you!”

Xing Shu could not be bothered to waste any breath on her. She admitted that she had enjoyed some educational resources after being brought back to the Xing family. However, whether it was junior high school, high school or college, Xing Shu relied on her own ability. The money the Xing family spent on her was not even 1% of Xing Linlin’s. 10 million yuan was enough to repay the Xing family’s kindness.

“Madam Wu, I still have work to do. Goodbye.” After saying that, Xing Shu hung up without hesitation.

Nie Xi heard some of it and found it ironic. “What? Is the Xing family afraid that you will cling onto them?”

“Probably. That’s why I hurt their pride by giving them money,” Xing Shu said nonchalantly.

For a moment, Nie Xi did not know what to say. Thinking of Xing Shu’s life in the Xing family all these years, she gritted her teeth in anger. “Don’t tell me the Xing family invited you to the banquet tomorrow night?”

Xing Shu replied, “Yes, and they want me to apologize to Xing Linlin in person.”

“F*ck! Aren’t they shameless?!” Nie Xi cursed angrily. “How much money did you give the Xing family?”

Xing Shu replied, “10 million.”

Nie Xi exclaimed, “10 million? Did the Xing family spend even a million on you all these years? Did they accept it?”

Xing Shu smiled. Her laughter was laced with sarcasm. “Yup, very quickly.”

For a moment, Nie Xi did not know what to scold the Xing family. They were simply too shameless! She took a deep breath and asked Xing Shu, “Then what are your thoughts? Are you going tomorrow night?” Her cell phone vibrated. She looked down and frowned even more. “More and more people are dissing you. Those scions and socialites in the Beijing upper-class circle who have nothing better to do are all attacking you and flattering Xing Linlin.”

Xing Shu did not want to hear any more news related to the Xing family. She leaned against the couch and narrowed her eyes, thinking about whether to order takeout later or cook something herself. However, Nie Xi’s next words instantly woke her up.

Nie Xi said, “Xing Shu, I remember that you’ve been donating your salary to Radiant Welfare Home all these years? You leave only a meager living allowance for yourself every month, but the donor’s name is Xing Linlin.”

Xing Shu’s face instantly darkened. She slowly raised her head. “What do you mean?”

Steam was coming out of Nie Xi’s ears. “I don’t know the exact situation, but everyone is praising Xing Linlin for being kind-hearted and donating to the welfare home. This matter has already spread throughout the Beijing upper-class circle. Moreover, the charity organization has confirmed the donor name is indeed Xing Linlin.”

Xing Shu clenched her fists. Back then, she trusted Xing Linlin too much. So, she asked Xing Linlin to help her with the registration of the donor’s name. However, she did not expect Xing Linlin to be so scheming as to change the donor’s name to herself.

Before the matter of donation was exposed, public opinion in the Beijing upper-class circle did not target Xing Shu like this. However, as soon as the charity organization released Xing Linlin’s name, everyone spoke up for her.

She was a girl who had been staying in the Xing family since she was young. She had worked hard since she was young. When she grew up, she did not forget to repay the welfare home that had taken care of her back then.

Moreover, she only left a meager living allowance for herself every month and donated the rest of her salary. Such a kind person had her position as a rich young lady usurped since she was young and forced to live under someone else’s roof. This was the new persona Xing Linlin had created for herself and it was very successful. At the very least, the name of the donor could not be faked. Hence, Xing Shu was now being attacked and dissed.

Xing Shu sneered. “In that case, I’ll attend the banquet tomorrow night.” She glanced at Cheng Lang—who was unaffected—as if these things were nothing to him. He was not wearing a tie today, and there were two buttons on his shirt that were unbuttoned. It was rare for him to look relaxed.

The doorbell rang again. Xing Shu went over to open the door. It was Jian Yaochuan. He was carrying a large pile of things that looked like fresh food and some fruits that had been flown in from abroad..
