Goddaughter? Sisters?
Shi Jiayin knew that Ning Xia had been getting close to her mother lately, and Ning Xia was the kind who would cling to anyone with wealth and power. However, her mother despised such opportunistic people, so she wasn't worried that her mother would take a fancy to Ning Xia and had thus ignored the matter.
Who would have thought that Ning Xia could actually sweet-talk her mother into acknowledging their kinship? And to introduce her to everyone at the birthday banquet?
Those who came today were all dignitaries in the circle; once she introduced Ning Xia, it would be akin to paving a way for her into high society.
What exactly was Ning Xia? Just a lowly illegitimate daughter, what right did she have to become her mother's goddaughter? Not to mention becoming her sister!
