The Vegetative Bigshot Can’t Pretend Anymore Chapter 79 has been released. The ballroom lights flickered as if sensing the weight of secrets being kept hidden behind stoic faces. In the midst of it all, twenty-year-old Qiao Xi stood poised but fragile, her raven-black hair immaculately styled – a stark contrast to the unforgiving fate that had hardened her heart since childhood.
