Miss Si's feigned innocence went too far, and the aloof Mr. Bo was easily swayed.

On New Year's Eve, Si Yuan unusually did not return home before 10 pm.

Instead, she had dinner with Bo Yusen, and the two of them watched the midnight fireworks together before Bo Yusen took her home.

Fortunately, Si Yingying's homecoming banquet was an extremely important occasion for the Si family.

To ensure everything went perfectly, Si Qingwan was so busy that she didn't have time to pay attention to Si Yuan.

That night, none of the Si family members slept well.

Only Si Yuan, clutching the scarf she and Bo Yusen had once shared, slept soundly.

After all, she has a tough battle to fight tomorrow.

The next day.

The Si family was already busy at six o'clock in the morning.

In order to make Si Yingying shine at the banquet and bring honor to the Si family.

Si Qingwan hired a professional stylist from a celebrity team.

Si Yingying appeared nervous, but even more so happy and excited.

The smile on his face never left.

Upon seeing Si Yuan, she deliberately called out to her, "Sister, you'll have to do your own makeup today. Remember to dress yourself up nicely."

Si Yingying was showing off that Si Qingwan had found her a celebrity stylist, while ignoring Si Yuan.

Si Yuan smiled faintly, "Today is your day, so as long as you look beautiful, that's fine. If I dress up too beautifully, I'm afraid I'll steal your thunder."

Si Yingying's face instantly turned green. Realizing something, she snorted coldly, "How could that be? No matter how beautiful you are, today everyone's eyes will only be on me."

Si Yuan raised an eyebrow. "That's true..."

Not long after, Si Aofu arrived.

She still had rosy lips and white teeth, and looked radiant.

Wearing the latest haute couture designs for autumn/winter, she radiated dazzling light.

"Sister Aofu..."

Upon seeing Si Aofu, Si Yingying excitedly reached out her hand to her.

Si Aofu glanced at Si Yuan and then took Si Yingying's hand.

Si Yingying tugged at Si Aofu's hand and said coquettishly, "Sister Aofu, I've been sitting here for almost an hour. Getting your hair done must be so tiring."

Seeing Si Yuan leave without a word, Si Aofu smiled slightly at her, "Would you like to appear at the banquet in your most beautiful state?"

"think--"

"Then you have to endure it."

"Then keep me company, I'm so bored by myself."

"Okay... By the way, Yingying, I heard that Ninth Master Bo is coming today, is that true?"

When Bo Yusen was mentioned, Si Yingying still felt somewhat resentful.

Especially the pickled vegetables and steamed buns that I painstakingly made, which he so disliked...

wrong--

The person who dislikes pickled vegetables and steamed buns is Jiang Lai, not Bo Yusen.

Is it possible that Bo Yusen never saw what she sent, but that Jiang Lai intercepted it on the way and then used it to deliberately humiliate her?

If that's the case, then she has wronged Bo Yusen.

"Sister Aofu, what kind of person is the Ninth Master Bo you know?"

"What's wrong?"

Si Yingying told Si Aofu everything that had happened. After listening, Si Aofu chuckled and said, "First, Bo Yusen isn't that free. Second, although he may seem cold-blooded and ruthless on the surface, he's a decent person and would never do something so insulting."

Si Yingying's heart was pounding.

I was so angry at the time that I thought Jiang Lai treated her that way because Bo Yusen instructed her, and I never thought that Bo Yusen was actually innocent.

She had indeed wronged Bo Yusen.

She hopes that Bo Yusen can come today so that she can apologize for misunderstanding him.

Si Yingying was actually very conflicted. She told Mingche that she wanted to break off her engagement with Si Yuan, but now they were still engaged.

When will she be able to openly and legitimately possess Xiang Mingche?

And Bo Yusen...

The reason he treated her that way before was probably because she hadn't yet officially recognized her ancestral roots.

After today, she will be the real daughter of the Si family, and Bo Yusen might look at her with new respect.

So she still decided to give it a try.

The WeChat notification sound kept ringing, and guessing it was a message from Xiang Mingche, Si Yingying chuckled dryly, "Sister Aofu, it's too boring for you to sit here with me, why don't you go and rest for a bit?"

Si Aofu glanced at Si Yingying's phone, then smiled and got up to leave.

She saw Si Yuan watering orchids from the balcony.

Si Yuan was already dressed. Her outfit wasn't deliberately extravagant; it was just a simple dress, as usual.

The green dress made her skin appear even whiter and brighter.

Some people are unique even if they're covered in a burlap sack.

"After today, Si Yingying will be the true heiress of the Si family, while you will become a discarded pawn and a laughingstock."

Si Yuan didn't speak, and didn't even look at Si Aofu.

Seeing that she was ignoring her, Si Aofu snatched the watering can from her hand. "What exactly are you plotting?"

Si Yuan glanced at Si Aofu indifferently. "What should I be planning?"

"Hmph... You're selfish and self-serving. I don't believe you can make today's banquet go smoothly."

Si Yuan laughed, "Since you don't believe me, what makes you think I would tell you what I'm planning?"

"You really are..."

"sister……"

Si Yuan gently interrupted Si Aofu, "Spend more time with your mother today."

Si Aofu frowned deeply. Seeing Si Yuan about to leave, she grabbed Si Yuan's hand. "What exactly do you want to do?"

Si Yuan gently shook off Si Aofu's hand. "Don't you all want things to get back on track? After today, everyone will get what they want."

Si Yingying's homecoming banquet was held at Yunding Mountain Villa.

The resort had already sent people to set up the scene long ago.

The Si family hasn't held any banquets in the past year, so this is a top priority for the Si family, and Si Qingwan attaches great importance to it.

Si Yingying looks stunning today.

She looked at herself in the mirror, and couldn't be more satisfied.

"Yingying, have you prepared your speech?"

"Don't worry, Mom. I promise that after everyone sees this, they will remember me and even look at our Si family in a different light."

"Should we check it again?"

"I checked it over and over last night, and there's nothing wrong."

Si Qingwan then nodded.

Since waking up in the morning, Si Qingwan's right eyelid had been twitching non-stop, and she looked unwell, with a sense of foreboding.

"Qingwan, the guests are arriving one after another..."

After He Shuqing called out, Si Qingwan had no choice but to suppress her emotions and run to greet the distinguished guest.

Although the Si family doesn't have a good reputation among the five major families, they are still members of one of the five major families. They have connections and resources, and many people want to curry favor with them.

Since it was a big day for the Si family, everyone who came prepared a gift for either Si Yingying or Si Qingwan.

The first thing he said upon meeting her was to congratulate Si Qingwan on finding her real daughter.

"Oh my, Miss Si is so beautiful, no wonder she is Mrs. Si's biological daughter."

Si Yingying loves it when people compliment her on her beauty, and she's already feeling quite pleased with herself.

Seeing Si Yuan standing silently behind Si Qingwan, Si Yingying raised an eyebrow. "Sister, you don't look too well."

Si Yuan is a fake heiress. Her parents switched her with someone else to allow her to live the life of a pampered heiress for twenty years.

While others were wishing Si Qingwan and Si Yingying a happy reunion, they naturally didn't give Si Yuan a kind look or a warm welcome.

They even said a lot of unpleasant things behind my back.

Si Yingying wanted others to torture Si Yuan with their words in order to vent her hatred.
