Suddenly, Shao Yongkang remembered the news he had heard from other corporation presidents.

He turned to his wife, Shen Shuwen, and said, "The Qin family is hosting a banquet the day after tomorrow, and many people have already received invitations."

Shen Shuwen showed a disdainful expression and sneered, "I won’t go even if the Qin family invites me!"

Shao Yongkang caught a glimpse of her expression and snorted, "You can’t go even if you want to. The Qin family did not invite us."

"What?!" Shen Shuwen doubted if she had misheard.

It was understandable that she wasn’t invited due to the lawyer’s letter incident, but why hadn’t he received an invitation as the president of the Shao Corporation?

Shen Shuwen found it unbelievable and asked in disbelief, "Is it possible that they haven’t invited you yet?

How is it possible that you didn’t receive an invitation?"

"I asked, and we are the only ones not on the Qin family’s guest list for the banquet," Shao Yongkang felt more frustrated than anyone else but also anxious.

If the Qin family decided not to continue cooperating with the Shao Corporation due to the unpleasantness from last time, it would be a big problem!

Shen Shuwen hurriedly asked, "What about Xinxin? Did she not receive an invitation either?"

Shao Yongkang replied, "None of us did, and it’s even less likely for Xinxin."

"The Qin family is so petty!"

Shen Shuwen couldn’t hold back her anger and scolded, "With their wealth and status, they cling to such trivial matters, truly lowering the standards of a prestigious family!"

Shao Yongkang was already annoyed, and hearing her start another argument only made him more irritated.

"Enough, stop talking."

Shen Shuwen glared at him in anger.

"Can’t I scold the Qin family? Did I say anything wrong? It’s the truth!"

Shao Yongkang rubbed his temples with his hand, feeling a slight headache.

The door to the music room opened, and Shao Xinxin, wearing her kindergarten uniform skirt, walked out.

Hearing her parents arguing in the living room, Shao Xinxin furrowed her brows, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.

She stood there for a moment before walking towards the living room.

At the entrance of the living room, Shao Xinxin showed a worried expression and glanced at her parents.

She asked, "Daddy, Mommy, what’s wrong?"

Shao Yongkang waved his hand dismissively, "Nothing."

He stood up and walked to his daughter’s side, asking, "How is your piano practice going? Are you tired?"

"Not tired at all," Shao Xinxin looked up at him, her face beaming with a radiant smile.

"Daddy, playing the piano is very simple."

"My daughter is amazing," Shao Yongkang felt proud and gently patted her head, smiling.

"After practicing for so long today, are you hungry? Let’s have dinner first."

Shen Shuwen stood up and followed them towards the dining room, still angry at the Qin family.

She muttered under her breath, "Who cares about their petty banquet? If they don’t invite us, then so be it."

Shao Xinxin’s footsteps paused, and suddenly she remembered something.

She turned to her mother and asked, "Mothermy, is the Qin family hosting a banquet?"

If she remembered correctly, after Qin Sui’an returned to the Qin family in the previous life, they held a banquet for him.

After that banquet, Qin Sui’an became highly regarded in the prestigious circle, gaining a lot of goodwill.

Everyone liked him.

"Yes," Shen Shuwen pursed her lips.

"Regardless of what kind of banquet they’re hosting, it has nothing to do with us. The Qin family did not invite anyone from our family to attend."

Shao Xinxin’s brows lightly furrowed.

In the previous life, their Shao family had accidentally missed the Shao family’s banquet.

Unexpectedly, in this life, they didn’t even receive an invitation to the banquet.

The Qin family’s banquet would undoubtedly be attended by influential and powerful guests.

If she could shine at this banquet, she would be the one to receive adoration in the prestigious circle from now on, Shao Xinxin!

Shao Xinxin suddenly halted her steps, lifted her head, and tearfully gazed at her parents.

"Daddy, Mothermy, is it because of me that Uncle Qin didn’t invite our family to the banquet?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

Shao Yongkang immediately shook his head, denying it, and cast an annoyed glance at Shen Shuwen.

At this moment, Shen Shuwen, unusually calm, focused solely on comforting her daughter.

"Xinxin, it definitely has nothing to do with you! If they don’t invite us, so be it. Have we attended any fewer banquets? We don’t lack this one from them!"

"..."

Shao Xinxin seemed deeply upset.

"Mothermy, I also want to go."

Shen Shuwen furrowed her brows, unable to comprehend why her daughter insisted on attending the Qin family’s banquet.

"What’s so good about going there?"

Wiping away her tears, Shao Xinxin deliberately chose words that Shen Shuwen liked to hear.

Choking back her sobs, she said, "Mothermy, many uncles and aunties will be attending the banquet. They will also bring their children along. It’s been so long since I’ve seen everyone, and I want to play with the other kids."

Suddenly, Shen Shuwen remembered that wherever her daughter Xinxin went, she was always praised.

Those invited to the Qin family’s banquet were certainly not ordinary people...

If she could attend the banquet with her daughter, she would undoubtedly be the most perfect and outstanding mother at the event!

And her daughter Xinxin would undoubtedly be the best and most sensible child!

With this in mind, Shen Shuwen looked at Shao Yongkang and immediately changed her tune.

"Yongkang, why don’t you think of a way to get the Qin family to invite us?"

Shao Yongkang’s face showed a difficult expression.

As the president of the prestigious Shao Corporation, how could he lower himself to beg for an invitation?

Shao Xinxin gently tugged at his clothes, looking at him pitifully, and pleaded, "Daddy, I want to go, I really want to go. Please help me, Daddy."

"All right, all right."

Shao Yongkang reluctantly agreed, sighing.

"I’ll go and ask tomorrow."

"Thank you, Daddy! I love you the most!"

Shao Xinxin cheered happily, then held Shen Shuwen’s hand.

"I also love you very, very much, Mothermy!"

Upon hearing her words, both Shao Yongkang and Shen Shuwen smiled.

"Let’s go, let’s have dinner first."

Having promised their daughter, Shao Yongkang kept this matter in mind and began to contact Qin Haochen.

The next day, during the lunch hour, Shen Shuwen arrived at Shao Corporation and took the elevator to her husband Shao Yongkang’s office.

Along the way, the employees of Shao Corporation greeted her with "Good afternoon, Madam," which put Shen Shuwen in a great mood.

She slightly raised her chin, maintaining a noble posture, and entered the president’s office.

Shao Yongkang, engrossed in flipping through documents, caught sight of her and casually asked, "What are you doing at the company?"

Shen Shuwen occasionally visited Shao Corporation, mainly for inspection purposes.

However, this time, it was evident that she had come for a different reason.

"Can’t I come?" Shen Shuwen lightly furrowed her brows but didn’t get angry.

She sat on the sofa and asked him, "Where is the invitation? Where did you put it?"
