Chapter 2144 Opening the Situation
All the ladies and young ladies happily attended the banquet.
Qiao Xuan wanted to use this opportunity to observe and test everyone, and everyone else felt the same way. No one would miss such a great opportunity.
Qiao Xuan has become very skilled at this kind of social interaction. At the end of the day, both the host and the guests had a great time, and everyone felt much more at ease.
Lord Shao is a capable and decisive man, and Mrs. Shao is not bad either. This is a good thing for the entire Huaixi and for all the families.
What Qiao Xuan didn't expect at this banquet was that Fan Ruyin and Bai Ruirui, mother and daughter, also sneaked in.
The Fan family has relatives in the provincial capital, and they came here to stay with them.
Fan Ruyin deliberately pretended to have a special relationship with Qiao Xuan in front of everyone, but it made Qiao Xuan feel very disgusted!
It seems that her husband's precautions were quite effective. At least, the mother and daughter had no chance to get close to him at all. Now that she was here, they came to bother her again.
That is, tolerating them now is also to show others how to do it, so as to reassure everyone. If it were in the past, with Qiao Xuan's temper, she would not indulge them so much, and would have dealt with them properly long ago.
However, she also has her bottom line. If they go a little further, it will be hard to say.
Qiao Xuan did not respond to Fan Ruyin's attitude in the same way, nor did she acquiesce. She just responded with a polite and distant smile, and clearly defined the relationship between Yu Fan Ruyin and the Fan family as that of an ordinary family in public.
We are not close or intimate, and we don’t have any conflicts. That’s all.
The ladies were all smart people. Seeing this, they secretly exchanged glances. Who wouldn't understand?
Although she came from Anzezhou just like Madam Shao, Madam Shao's attitude said it all. Not to mention anything else, the fact that Madam Shao didn't even send her an invitation was enough to tell her something.
The ladies could see, at least from their contact, that Mrs. Shao was a very amiable person, and after meeting her, everyone's mood involuntarily calmed down.
Although time reveals a person's true character, the first impression is also very important, and it can generally tell what kind of person the other person is.
Mrs. Shao, who was kind and friendly, was very distant to Mrs. Bai. This was quite intriguing. Many people were curious and secretly thought that they would go back and ask people what Mrs. Bai's family had done to make Mrs. Shao behave like this, so that they could learn a lesson...
It's true, I don't know if it's just a psychological effect, but anyway, when everyone went to see Mrs. Bai and her daughter, they always felt that there was something wrong with them and they were not worth making friends with...
If Fan Ruyin knew that her visit not only failed to help build closer relationships, but instead made people dislike her and feel disgusted, she would probably be so angry that she would die.
But what can she do? She is also helpless.
The mother and daughter have been in the provincial capital for quite some time, but they can't even enter the door of the government office, nor can they see Shao Yunduan. They are so anxious!
Although Qiao Xuan didn't like them, Fan Ruyin thought, this could barely be considered meeting an old friend in a foreign land, right? Mrs. Shao was unfamiliar with the provincial capital, and maybe she would need her?
As long as she needs me, our relationship will naturally become closer.
Who knew she would be so stubborn?
Bai Ruirui also felt the same way and was about to despair! The longer they delayed, the more powerful Shao Yunduan would become. How could they show their ability to recognize a pearl?
