"Hello, Grandma Jun." Shi Xi held the bowl, feeling anxious, but since she had met an elder, she could only greet her politely.

Tao's father casually asked, "By the way, have you seen Tao Tao? I've been looking for him for ages, and he's not answering his phone."

Shi Xi said awkwardly, "This..."

We can't very well tell Grandma Jun that Tao Yuxuan was drunk and lying in her room, can we?

Just as Shi Xi was thinking of a way to smooth things over, she heard the servant next to her speak.

"I just saw that Miss went upstairs to rest."

Shi Xi: ...

You saw Tao Yuxuan go upstairs to rest, so you should know she was drunk!

If you're that stupid, don't stick your neck out!

"How can she rest when guests are here?" Mr. Tao frowned. "Go and call her down!"

Just as the servant was about to go upstairs, Shi Xi quickly called out to stop him.

Shi Xi said, "I'll go upstairs and call Tao Tao. Grandma Jun, please have a seat for a while."

Just then, Lu Wancheng suddenly spoke up: "I just saw Miss Tao drink quite a bit of wine."

"Sister Shixi, are you going to deliver some hangover soup?"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent and turned to look at Lu Wancheng.

Who is this?

"I don't recognize it. Which company is it from?"

"Why is she taking the lead?"

Hearing the whispers and pointing fingers around her, Lu Wancheng's legs trembled, but she put on a brave face with a smile.

Shi Xi looked over and said indifferently, "What's it to you?"

Lu Wancheng had already spoken the first sentence, and now she had calmed down and said, "Of course I'm concerned about Miss Tao."

care?

Shi Xi felt disdain.

If they truly cared about Tao Yuxuan, they wouldn't have stood up and said such things, making Tao Yuxuan lose face in front of others.

Grandma Jun frowned and said, "Lead the way, I'll go up and take a look."

Grandma Jun placed great importance on the family's rules and image.

If you knew your future granddaughter-in-law would get drunk at the banquet.

Shi Xi felt the bowl of hangover soup in her hand was burning hot.

Mr. Tao gave Shi Xi a wink, signaling her to hurry upstairs. Then he said to Grandma Jun, "Aunt Jun, kids these days drink alcohol. Tao Tao can't drink; he'll feel unwell after just one cup. Please wait downstairs for a moment, and I'll have Tao Tao come down right away."

“Since you’re not feeling well, I’m even more determined to see a doctor,” Grandma Jun insisted.

Tao's father regretted it: I shouldn't have asked that question!

Shi Xi, carrying the bowl, could only lead the way.

Good heavens.

Grandma Jun has a very strong presence.

However, judging from Tao Yuxuan's drinking style, she could only gulp it down.

Would Old Mrs. Jun call off the engagement on the spot?

Shi Xi's lips twitched slightly. She slowed her pace and frantically tried to think of a solution.

Tao Yuxuan doesn't seem to want a marriage alliance.

But that doesn't mean she's really going to break up someone's couple!

Upon reaching the Tao Yuxuan Gate, Shi Xi abandoned her brainstorming session.

I'm sorry, she really can't think of any way to get the old lady to leave.

Just as Shi Xi was about to knock on the door, she remembered something else.

The timing is still there!

A lone man and a lone woman, alone in a room.

Shi Xi believes in Shi Xu's character, but Grandma Jun might not!

"Sister Shixi is holding a bowl, it's not appropriate for her to knock on the door, is it? I'll knock." Lu Wancheng squeezed in from behind. Although she said she would knock, she put her hand directly on the doorknob, pushed the door open, and went in.

Shi Xi: ?!

Lu Wancheng saw the scene inside; it seemed they were searching for something.

But only Tao Yuxuan was sleeping on the bed in the bedroom.

"Thank you for opening the door for me." Shi Xi pushed Lu Wancheng aside and walked into Tao Yuxuan's bedroom without looking to the side, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, Shi Xu wasn't in the bedroom.
