Ye Wentao was heartbroken and regretted it even more, having offended his younger siblings.

However, Ye Wentao also had his insistence: after the New Year, he must send Xiaoxi to primary school, because there are some kinds of education that they, as older brothers, cannot provide.

Xiaoxi, on the other hand, doesn't hold grudges. She ignored her fourth brother to get some peace and quiet, taking the opportunity to avoid listening to bedtime stories and eating mediocre late-night snacks.

She went to the cabin openly to study the rubbing of talismans.

She carved many commonly used talisman rubbings.

Of course, Xiaoxi still drew those profound talismans by hand, out of a sense of reverence.

These talismans can only be used after she breaks through to the late stage of Qi Refining.

Xiaoxi continues to live a happy life.

That day, Ye Yichen brought back an invitation, explaining that it was the Wang family patriarch's birthday that evening, and he had invited the three siblings to attend.

"Which Wang family? Seventh Brother, is it Wang Qian's family?"

"Yes, Xiaoxi, I don't like Wang Qian either. If Xiaoxi really doesn't want to go, then she shouldn't go."

Ye Wentao disagreed.

"Little brother, just spoil Xiaoxi. She'll have to face the outside world sooner or later. She'll be going to school next year, and she'll have to step out of her comfort zone eventually."

"Okay, okay, Fourth Brother, I'll go!"

Xiaoxi had already noticed that Fourth Brother was indeed a professor; he loved to lecture on everything, and if she said she wouldn't go, he would keep nagging her.

There's nothing I can do; perhaps it's just that Fourth Brother loves her in a different way.

That evening, Xiaoxi solemnly took out a tortoise shell and cast a divination. It was determined that it was not a good day to travel, and it seemed that something was going to happen at the Wang family's house.

She was also somewhat looking forward to it, and made some preparations that night, just like the saying goes, "When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it."

Fourth Brother was very enthusiastic about going out to a banquet this time, and immediately had several sets of high-end gifts sent over for Xiao Xi to choose from.

Xiaoxi saw several puffy princess dresses, which she didn't like, so she chose the light purple Tang suit dress with diamond-encrusted hibiscus flowers on the chest, which was very beautiful.

Of course, there's also Xiaoxi's signature accessory: a small bag that goes with her Tang suit gift.

The next evening, Xiaoxi's two older brothers took her to a banquet.

The birthday banquet for Old Master Wang was held at the Wang family ancestral home, where his father lived.

Why is it ancestral home again?

Xiaoxi is somewhat sensitive about the ancestral home.

However, the Wang family's ancestral home was very large, with magnificent pavilions and towers, and since it was also a birthday banquet, it was an exceptionally lively occasion.

Wang Kun, the eldest son of the old man, is a man of good manners. Basically, all the prominent figures in Shanghai attended the old man's birthday banquet.

Wang Kun personally greeted the three siblings, as if the major project her precious daughter had lost and then transferred to the Ye family had never existed.

In the main hall of the ancestral home, everyone was passing around glasses and exchanging toasts. They were all from this circle, and socializing was inevitable.

Fourth Brother saw that there were many of Xiao Xi's peers present, so he encouraged Xiao Xi to interact with them more.

The two brothers were surrounded by a lot of people and couldn't get away, so they couldn't even take care of Xiaoxi.

Xiaoxi saw that the food prepared by the Wang family was quite exquisite, so she picked up a plate, took some food, and prepared to taste it.

Sure enough, Xiaoxi doesn't cause trouble, but trouble comes to Xiaoxi.

Several little girls in princess dresses surrounded her. They had disliked Xiaoxi ever since she came in.

Xiaoxi's purple Tang suit dress made her skin look even whiter and more rosy, making her extremely beautiful. Her double buns in her hair added a cute and playful touch.

The little girl in the pink tutu glanced at Xiaoxi.

"Hey! You're that trash girl the Ye family picked up, right?"

Xiaoxi glanced at the little girl's dress: Pink, how annoying, so tacky!

"What are you looking at? You've never seen such a beautiful dress before, have you? Well, you've probably never seen such a high-class dress before."

Xiaoxi was getting impatient.

"All your dresses combined don't equal a single diamond on my gown, so I don't want to talk to you!"

The girls got angry.

Pink dress: "I, Wang Lingling, have never seen anyone as rude as you!"

Xiao Xi replied, "Is this really how the Wang family treats its guests? I'm impressed! They even have the spirits of heaven and earth."

It looks like there's going to be a tough battle soon, so we need to replenish our energy.

Anyone who interferes with her eating needs to be dealt with.
