Sheng Family.

Sheng Yan was at the door, looking at his watch impatiently.

They had agreed to meet at the Sheng Family’s door at 10:00, but it was already 10:30, and Shi Xi had yet to arrive.

Just as he was about to call to urge her on, Shi Xi finally appeared.

Seeing Shi Xi’s green hair, Sheng Yan was stunned for a moment.

In his memory, Shi Xi had never dyed her hair in such an outstanding color.

Shi Xi got off the car and said apologetically, “Sorry, I’m late.”

Sheng Yan’s gaze swept over Shi Xi and said indifferently, “Let’s go in first.”

He knew that his parents wanted to set them up.

However, it was impossible for him to marry Shi Xi.

Shi Xi followed behind Sheng Yan and walked feebly.

It was too troublesome to deal with the elders.

Sheng Yan frowned slightly, feeling even more puzzled.

In the past, when Shi Xi saw him, she would chat with him excitedly.

Why was it so strange today?

Was she unhappy because the Shi Family’s true daughter had returned? Was the Shi Family not good to her?

Sheng Yan guessed and brought Shi Xi into the living room.

Father Sheng and Mother Sheng were both in the living room. When they saw Shi Xi, they were both stunned for a moment.

Anyone who saw that head of bright green hair would be unable to help but take a few more glances.

“Xiao Xi, when did you dye your hair?” Mother Sheng could not help but ask.

“Hello, Uncle and Auntie.” Shi Xi brushed her long hair and asked as if she was showing off, “I just went to dye it today. Does it look good?”

Father Sheng was speechless.

Mother Sheng laughed awkwardly. “It’s quite unique, hehe.”

“Sit down.” Sheng Yan sat on the single-seater sofa, his eyes indifferent.

He knew that Father Sheng and Mother Sheng had called Shi Xi over today. They definitely weren’t just concerned about her.

Even if they were concerned, they wouldn’t be concerned about that green hair!

He didn’t have a woman outside, so how could the top of Shi Xi’s head be green!

Mother Sheng asked with a smile, “I heard that you moved out of the Shi Family?”

Shi Xi nodded, feeling somewhat inexplicable.

How did the whole world know that she moved out of the Shi Family?

“Have you been wronged at home? Why don’t you stay at the Sheng Family for the next few days?” Mother Sheng’s smile was very amiable, but there was also a hint of subtlety in it. “You’re going to stay here in the future anyway, so I’ll just take it as familiarizing yourself with it in advance.”

Sheng Yan: “…”

Shi Xi naturally understood the hidden meaning behind Mother Sheng’s words and bluntly rejected her. “There’s no need for that. I’m currently filming on the set, so it’s more convenient for me to stay at a hotel near the set.”

Father Sheng spoke up, “Was it really not the Shi Family that chased you out?”

Shi Xi replied, “Father and Mother are very good to me. Even if I’m not their biological daughter, they won’t ignore me.”

Sheng Yan glanced at Shi Xi’s hair and thought to himself, ‘Can’t the Shi Family’s parents control your dyed hair?’

“It’s good that you haven’t been wronged. After all, I’ve watched you grow up. I’ve long treated you as my daughter.” Mother Sheng smiled. “Since you’re going to have a birthday soon, why don’t we get you and Sheng Yan engaged on your birthday?”

Sheng Yan pursed his thin lips into a straight line. It was obvious that he was unwilling.

Shi Xi said sternly, “Auntie, I’m here today to talk about this matter.”

Mother Sheng: “Hm?”

Shi Xi: “I’ve heard from my mother that the engagement between the two families was made before I was born. Since I’m not the biological daughter of the Shi Family, this engagement doesn’t count.” Or you can find Ning Yu to fulfill the engagement, in any case, she’s the female lead.

Once these words were said, Father Sheng and Mother Sheng, as well as Sheng Yan, were shocked.

Shi Xi actually took the initiative to withdraw from the engagement?

Father Sheng frowned. “Xi Girl, did you think that our Sheng Family wanted to have a marriage alliance with the Shi Family, so we made the engagement?”
