The Xiao couple still looked anxious.

The servants who had been sent out early had yet to return.

Seeing that it was about time, Xiao Ying had had enough of their performance.

She stood up calmly and said to the two, “Daddy, Mommy, I have a gown in my room. I can wear that.”

Without waiting for the couple to stop her, Xiao Ying ran upstairs swiftly.

Madam Xiao hurriedly followed.

However, the door was locked.

Madam Xiao frowned at Xiao Lingbo. Why was nothing going smoothly today?

This girl was indeed there to deal with them.

Xiao Ying entered the room and found the gown in the box.

It was a very cute white fluffy dress.

Considering her age, it suited her very well.

However, Madam Xiao would not allow Xiao Ying to wear it.

She always bought Xiao Ying clothes that did not match her age.

Actually, Xiao Ying did not like them usually, but in order to please her mother, she had always listened to her.

Gradually, her taste was led astray by Madam Xiao’s deliberate influence.

In her previous life, the thing that Xiao Ying had been ridiculed about the most was her appearance.

Xiao Ying slowly changed into the clothes that had been strictly forbidden by Madam Xiao.

She looked at her cute self in the mirror.

She grinned.

In the mirror, there was a cute little girl wearing a white muslin dress. She had a pair of big, watery eyes, a perky little nose, and a pleasing smile on her face. She looked like a little fairy.

Xiao Ying had never seen herself like this before.

Through the void, she silently looked at herself in the mirror.

This life would be different from this moment onwards.

Xiao Ying opened the door and saw Madam Xiao’s expression change.

Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Ying’s cute appearance and her face darkened. She couldn’t even pretend to be a kind mother anymore.

“Ying’er, why are you wearing this? It’s so ugly. Quickly change out of it.”

If it was her past life, Xiao Ying would definitely have changed out of it in fear.

But now, she just said gloomily to Madam Xiao, “I don’t like it either, but I don’t have a choice now. There’s not much time left, so I’ll just bear with it. I haven’t bought a new gown yet.”

Madam Xiao was choked by her words.

She finally understood what it meant to shoot oneself in the foot.

If she had known earlier, she would have let this girl wear that dress.

However, Madam Xiao was still very proud that she had led her tastes astray.

When Xiao Lingbo saw Xiao Ying coming down, he cursed the fact that Madam Xiao could not even handle a girl.

However, they couldn’t find any excuse to delay any longer.

Otherwise, it would be too obvious.

The family of three arrived at the banquet’s entrance on time.

The first plan had failed. The Xiao couple could only carry out their plan B.

Xiao Lingbo stood on stage and praised Xiao Ying.

He suddenly pushed Xiao Ying in front of everyone.

Regardless of whether the ten-year-old Xiao Ying was afraid or not, she retreated to the side.

It had been the same in her previous life. It was understandable that a ten-year-old child would be too nervous to speak in public.

The bad thing was that Xiao Lingbo’s praise had given people hope.

They would only be disappointed when Xiao Ying’s performance was not good, thus able to mock her for being pretentious and vain.

Xiao Ying met everyone’s gaze and made a standard ladylike gesture.

“Greetings, handsome uncles, beautiful aunties, and of course, brothers and sisters! Thank you all for coming to my birthday party. As thanks, my wish this year is…”

Xiao Ying greeted the crowd and deliberately paused as she said her wish. After arousing everyone’s interest, she said, “I wish everyone present a good life and everlasting beauty. I wish you all a good mood and happiness every day. Good wind, good water, good luck to good people. It’s so good that there’s no way to describe what I want for you all. Good things last forever!”

Xiao Ying fluently recited a passage.

The words of blessing that were originally slightly cheesy were being softly spoken by a cute little girl, making her look especially cute.

Everyone present was used to being complimented, but Xiao Ying’s sincere gaze made them feel very comfortable.

After Xiao Ying bowed, applause followed.

Xiao Lingbo was prepared to leave whilst Xiao Ying was at a loss.

‘You forced me to say that. Now you’re scared, aren’t you?’

But upon seeing this scene, Xiao Lingbo was alarmed.

How could he not have known that Xiao Ying possessed such an ability?

“Xiao Ying.”

A sharp voice suddenly rang out.
