"Mom, today is the Shi family's big day. We can't steal their limelight," Chu Ling said calmly.
It was not that he could not bear to part with the money. He could spend it for Shi Xuexin, but he did not want to go on stage.
Mrs. Chu knew that her son was being arrogant. She did not say anything else.
Shi Xuexin was heartbroken when she heard Chu Ling's words. How could he have said that? How was this stealing the limelight? Wasn't everyone waiting for him?
Chu Ling didn't say anything as they waited. Chu Jia couldn't wait any longer.
She saw Shi Jin walking out of the main hall and said, "Shi Jin is here!"
Shi Jin had been at the banquet and saw that He Ziheng and the rest had left for quite a while and had not returned. As the host, she could not act as if nothing had happened, so she was coming out to see if they needed anything.
The moment she came out, Chu Jia called her name.
The name Shi Jin attracted too much attention.
Everyone looked at her immediately. All eyes were on her fair, clean face.
She did not smile; her expression was cold, but her eyes were clear and pure. Her lips were red and her teeth were white. Just by standing there, it was impossible to look down on her.
"Why is Shi Jin here?" "Shi? Isn't she the one who got replaced by Shi Xuexin?" "Oh right, I heard about that. The mixed up children are Shi Jin and Shi Xuexin!"
"Didn't they say that Shi Jin has broken ties with the Shi family and Chu Ling? What happened?"
Shi Jin said to everyone, "Everyone, today is my birthday. I'm just having a meal with my family and friends in the hall. Please don't misunderstand."
Her voice was clear and powerful. Even without a microphone, everyone could hear her.
Sure enough, everyone stopped talking after hearing that. However, Chu Jia refused to let her go. How could she miss such a good opportunity to please Shi Xuexin?
"No matter what, Shi Jin, you grew up in the Shi family. Today is your birthday too. Why don't you participate in our event? How about this? Who's willing to give Shi Jin a birthday song? The money for the competition will be donated to charity," Chu Jia immediately said.
She had asked for Shi Jin's opinion, but she did not give her a chance to speak.
Especially when she was holding the microphone, her voice was naturally stronger than when she spoke alone. Everyone could hear her immediately. This way, Shi Jin would be forced into the so-called bidding war!
He Ziheng could not help but curse. "F*ck! What kind of person is this! Her mind is too sinister and vicious, isn't it? She's purposely catching Shi Jin off guard!"
"Will anyone bid? Anyone? Anyone?" Chu Jia asked repeatedly.
It was obvious that she was doing this on purpose. All the guests were present. Even Shi Jin's fans would find it difficult to participate in such an event for Shi Jin.
Her repeated questions were meant to pressure people.
The people from the Shi family, Yu family, and Chu family would definitely not bid for Shi Jin. Everyone's gaze shifted from Chu Jia to Shi Jin and then to Shi Xuexin.
It was obvious that these people were comparing Shi Xuexin and Shi Jin. They seemed to be pondering why Shi Jin was having to bear the brunt of such cold treatment. If it wasn't her fault, then could it be the fault of everyone in the Shi family?
He Ziheng immediately raised his hand. It was just money, so what?
From the looks of Chu Jia, Shi Xuexin and the rest, it seemed Shi Xuexin had someone who could fork out money.
Even Chu Ling did not speak. Shi Xuexin had nothing to be proud of since she had the air of a top celebrity.
