dazzled like stars.

Even though this was everyday life, he was swimming in bliss since he was with Shi Jin.

***

Before Shi Jin had even gotten around to helping out during Li Juekai’s surgery, it was already Shi Qing’s birthday.

Since it was Shi Qing’s birthday, it was naturally a grand affair for the Shi family.

Shi Jin was their foster daughter, so she was also invited.

As Yu Xiuhua handed Shi Jin the invitation in person, she suddenly recalled something and said, “Oh yes.
I heard your parents and older brother are in town.
Why don’t you bring them over?”

She always had the impression that the Li family was not doing well, so she wanted to invite them and embarrass them at the party.

“Sure,” agreed Shi Jin right away.

It was the perfect time for the world to learn the truth.

Since it was inappropriate for the Li family to bring such matters up, Shi Jin would do it for them.

Yu Xiuhua smiled happily.
“You don’t have to bring any gifts and just treat it like you are coming home.”

Shi Jin could tell what Yu Xiuhua was trying to do.
It was Shi Qing’s birthday, but Yu Xiuhua was trying to mislead her about not bringing a present.
How could the guest come empty-handed? It would have been completely rude.

Although Shi Qing was not very good to Shi Jin, he was loads better than that two-faced Yu Xiuhua.
Shi Qing was at least like a normal father to Shi Jin, so Shi Jin was not about to sever ties with him completely.

“Try to swing by early,” said Yu Xiuhua.

Chu Ling’s family was the first to arrive on Shi Qing’s birthday.

Yu Xiuhua and Shi Xuexin welcomed them into the house personally.
Yu Xiuhua looked at Chu Ling happily as she said, “Chu Ling, welcome.
Please have a seat.”

Ever since the plagiarism incident, Chu Ling had kept a low profile and had not shown his face for some time.

Through the talent agency’s efforts, the public was no longer talking about this, but Chu Ling had clearly lost weight over the matter.

This incident was a real setback to his career.
He deeply regretted his actions, so he found himself a new music teacher and was determined not to take shortcuts from now on.

The moment he saw Yu Xiuhua, he greeted her politely, “Hi, Madame Shi.”

The Shi and Chu families both felt someone was out to get Chu Ling, so they felt sorry for him.
Yu Xiuhua noticed all the weight Chu Ling had lost and said, “Chu Ling, you youngsters can’t keep dieting.
The kitchen made some nourishing tonic soup.
You must have some later.”

Chu Ling thanked her before entering the villa.

Shi Xuexin went up and entered the villa with Chu Ling’s parents.

There was heavy security since it was a gathering of the rich and powerful and they had to ensure no reporters would get in.

Chu Ling’s cousin was present as well.
The moment Chu Jia saw Shi Xuexin, she went over and greeted her, “Hi, Xuexin!”

“Jiajia, come upstairs with me later.
I bought some new skincare and it suits your skin type, so I got you a set too.”

Chu Jia was delighted.
“Thanks! You are the best!”

The Chu clan were rich and powerful, so skincare meant nothing to them.
However, it was very thoughtful of Shi Xuexin to keep thinking about them and saving nice things for them, so everyone in the Chu family liked her.

Mr and Mrs Chu watched as Shi Xuexin held Chu Jia’s hand and went upstairs.
Their guilt towards Shi Jin automatically diminished a little.

Since Shi Jin only cared about herself, she was incapable of taking care of Chu Ling if they got married.
Shi Xuexin was far better since she was poised and thoughtful.
