1 Banquet

Country Z:

Haicheng:

In a brightly lit banquet hall, the socialites of Haicheng gathered and kept interacting with others. When people gather together, men talk about current business trends, whereas women talk about fashion trends, and one thing in common which both men and women like to discuss is gossip! Especially gossip about the host of the banquet.

"I heard Miss Wen would be entering the entertainment industry." A Lady in a red evening gown looked at her friends and raised her eyebrows.

"How do you know? I haven't heard about it!" The Lady next to her immediately intercepted her.

The Lady in red kept shaking the wine glass in her hands, "Of course, you won't be able to get news because the Wen family wants to keep it confidential. I got to know it because my uncle is the director of the Red Star Agency. Miss Wen has signed a B-level contract with Red Star Agency."

Hearing this news, the friends around widened their eyes because a B-level contract is a very high launching stage for a newcomer, not to mention the Red Star Agency, one of the top agencies in their city and the surrounding cities.

"Hey, the Wen family dotes on Miss Wen."

"That's true! After all, she is the only daughter of the couple after three sons!" As soon as these words fell, there was a weird silence around her. The Lady who spoke just now saw that her friends kept looking at her with puzzled eyes. She immediately touched her face and asked them, "What happened? Is there anything wrong with my makeup? Why are you looking at me like that?"

The Lady in red sighed, "Dear, actually many things happened when you were abroad. Miss Wen is not the only daughter of the Wen family; she has a sister too! Now, the Wen family has two daughters."

"What! Two daughters? How is it possible? Did Mrs. Wen give birth to a baby when she was abroad? Oh, God! But, Mrs. Wen is quite aged to give birth to a baby, right! Is it through surrogacy?" The Lady kept blabbering, and the friend next to her couldn't hear her nonsense and closed her mouth with her hand.

The Lady in red sighed, God knows how she made friends with this stupid. If they hadn't been friends since the kinder garden, she would have broken with this fool long ago.

"Stupid, can you let me complete my words?"

The 'Stupid' Lady noticed that she seemed to have misunderstood and nodded her head.

The Lady in red looked at her surroundings and found that no one noticed them and spoke in a low voice, "Well, now listen to me without interrupting me. Miss Wen, Wen Ziruo, is not the real Wen family. The real Lady of the Wen family and Wen Ziruo were interchanged in the hospital after their birth. Now, the Wen family's real Lady is found and is brought back to the Wen family. Since last week this is the trending news in Haicheng."

"Oh, wow! That's awesome. Since they found their real daughter, did the Wen family kick out Wen Ziruo?" The 'Stupid' Lady didn't care about her friend, who warned her not to interrupt and asked again.

"Ji Shuang Shuang, didn't I warn you not to interrupt me when I am speaking. Believe it or not, next time you interrupt my words, I will interrupt your legs!" The Lady in Red, who has been very graceful initially, lost her elegant, ladylike composure.

"Okay, calm down, Mi'er. I promise I will not interrupt you. You say it completely now." Ji Shuang Shuang made a zipping gesture as if she is closing her mouth.

Tian Mi took a deep breath and calmed herself down, thinking that no one has seen her lost her demeanor, especially her mom. If not, she would have a hard time at home regarding the etiquette nonsense.

"The real Lady of the Wen family has been found, but Wen family didn't give up Wen Ziruo. She is still the Lady of the Wen family. Let me tell you, Wen family still pampers Wen Ziruo just like before. Now they seem to love her more."

"Then what about the real Lady of the Wen family? Didn't she make any noise? After all, the position that should have belonged to her was enjoyed by some other person for 17 years!" Ji Shuang Shuang couldn't help but ask her again.

Tian Mi sighed, "Well, it seems that the real Lady is from the countryside. I haven't seen her until now. But I heard some of Wen Ziruo's friends mention that she's a hillbilly, uncultured, and full of inferiority. They seemed to say that she is timid, and her presence level is zero. She couldn't compare to Wen Ziruo in any aspect, and is not worthy of being in Wen family."

"How can they compare her with Wen Ziruo? Of course, there would be a lot of difference; after all, they are from different backgrounds. The Wen family cultivates Wen Ziruo from childhood, and the other one has grown up in some tiny village or something. Normally, Wen Ziruo will be better than her. But that doesn't mean the people around her could compare her with Wen Ziruo and say she's not worthy. God knows what kind of life she has been through, what right do those guys have to judge her?" Ji Shuang Shuang couldn't help but get angry when she heard Tian Mi's words.

Tian Mi looked at Ji Shuang Shuang; she knew that her friend is a straightforward and kind person. That's the reason why she loves this 'stupid creature.' If not for her temper, she would never have the patience to speak with this silly thing.

"Well, people need benefits. They are Wen Ziruo's friends, of course, they would always be on her side."

"Then what about her family? How does the Wen family treat her?"

"Do you need to ask me this question? Today is Wen Ziruo's 17th birthday. When we received the invitation, only Wen Ziruo's name is present on the card. There is no mention of the real Lady of the Wen family. I thought they would host a recognition banquet, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I don't think they plan to introduce her to this banquet too. "

Ji Shuang Shuang pressed her forehead, "What kind of people are they? How can they ignore their daughter? Oh, My God! This Wen family is ridiculous. They would pamper their fake daughter to heavens and ignore the real daughter."

"Okay, okay! I know you are a righteous person, but most of the people in this world would act according to their interests. That's how the world works. Just imagine, if the real daughter of the Wen family has been exchanged with some rich family in the Imperial Capital, do the Wen family dare to treat her coldly and ignore her existence? No way! Even Wen Ziruo would immediately leave this Wen family for her rich parents. Shuang Shuang, not every family is bonded with love, some families are bonded with interests. When the interests brought by some people are higher than those brought by another, they would decisively choose to abandon the person with lower interests. In this matter, we both are lucky."

"Yeah, that's true. Our families are completely different from this Wen family. If I were born in this Wen family, I would go crazy." Ji Shuang Shuang felt she was fortunate that she was born in the Ji family.
