Chapter 131 Invitation
Yu Xue sighed softly, her eyes bright as she looked at Yan Lan: "Because the Yu family cannot yet escape worldly affairs."
She recalled that in the secret report, Yanlan had stirred up the moon tide with a simple gesture.
Yan Lan's strength is ridiculously high, which is probably one of the reasons why Director Yan is at ease letting Yan Lan travel around the Inner World.
However, Yanlan lacks a basic understanding of human relationships and social customs.
Relationships within a large family are a very difficult subject.
Of Yu Xuewen's three children, her second son, Yu Junxun, was the best at this. Her designated heir, Yu Youguan, and eldest son, Yu Qingzhou, were slightly inferior.
"Ms. Yanlan, perhaps you would like to come and observe from my side?"
Yan Shi: ?
She wasn't quite sure what Yu Xue was up to, but since they were already at the banquet hall, she figured it wouldn't hurt to follow along.
This is a good opportunity to look for Ji Pucun while we walk.
Also, try to find out who is in charge of this banquet.
Yanju could receive the invitation but not come, but the extended family couldn't hold a banquet behind her back.
I really felt like I was being ostracized.
Yan Shi's mind was racing, but he nodded seriously and said, "Okay."
Yu Xue asked, "Then I'll trouble Ms. Yanlan to come with me to change my clothes first."
As she spoke, she raised her hand, and a servant immediately ran over from a distance.
"Master Yu." The servant bowed his head deeply.
"Take me to a secluded, private lounge," Yu Xuewen instructed naturally.
The attendant nodded and said, "This way, please." He then walked a short distance ahead and began to lead the way.
Yu Xue turned to Yan Shi and smiled, "Ms. Yan Lan, let's go."
The lounge is located on the side, not far from the banquet hall.
The servants led them to the door of the lounge and, after confirming that Yu Xuewen had no other needs, quietly left.
It's like a ghost in this luxurious place.
Yu Xuewen didn't go in either. Instead, she took out a neatly stacked pile of clothes from her storage space and handed it to Yan Shi.
"I'm sorry to trouble you to make do with this, Ms. Yanlan. This robe is brand new and has been washed."
Yan Shi took it, then went into the lounge and closed the door to keep Yu Xuewen's gaze away.
The lounge is very large and fully equipped with all necessary amenities.
She was standing in the entrance area, which resembled a lounge. Walking past the screen at the entrance, there was a reception room, and further in, there was a separate room.
The entire lounge is even bigger than Yan Shi's house.
Yan Shi: ...
She shed tears for her poverty.
She placed the stack of clothes she was carrying on the sofa in the living room and unfolded the top piece.
It is a finely crafted, wide-sleeved robe.
The fabric is delicate and the pattern is exquisite.
It looks somewhat similar to the style Yu Xuewen is wearing. The only difference is that Yu Xuewen has many accessories to match and weigh down her clothes.
With the coat already in hand, Yan Shi continued to unfold the next garment. It was also a long robe, with the cuffs slightly gathered, looking not much different from the previous one.
She continued touching the next item. It was yet another robe that looked very similar.
Yan Shi paused, suddenly realizing a serious problem: how was he going to wear these clothes?!
She went through all the contents of the stack of clothes that Yu Xuewen had handed her and fell silent.
There are 11 pieces in total, which can be described as three layers inside and three layers outside, so what is the correct nesting doll scheme?
How to dress.
When Yan Shi finally managed to get dressed according to the tutorial and walked out of the lounge, she found a young woman standing next to Yu Xuewen.
Her black hair was half tied up with a hair crown, and she was wearing a long robe similar in style to Yu Xuewen's. She listened to Yu Xuewen speaking with a slightly impatient expression, her gaze wandering over the decorative paintings in the corridor.
Hearing the door open, she was the first to turn around and then whistled.
Yu Xuewen's face immediately darkened: "Yu Youguan!"
The woman pouted: "I know, I know, if you're going to pretend, at least pretend to be serious."
His tone was clearly perfunctory and lazy.
Yu Xuewen took a deep breath, turned to look at Yan Shishi again, and smiled calmly: "Ms. Yanlan, please forgive me, this is my youngest child, Yu Youguan, who is a bit unruly."
"This outfit suits you very well." She looked Yan Shi up and down with a non-aggressive gaze and praised him.
Yan Shi: "It's alright, Ms. Yu is just being very genuine."
She had assumed that the daughter of an old fox like Yu Xuewen must also be a little fox.
Considering that Yu Junxun is very good at manipulating people's hearts and saying polite words.
Yu Youguan is unlike either of them.
Yu Xuewen's expression stiffened slightly. After a pause, she took out a piece of paper and handed it to Yan Shi: "Ms. Yan Lan, this is the guest list for tonight. Is there anyone you'd like to see?"
Giving the guest list to Yanlan was not to indicate taking sides, but simply to share the risk.
Yan Lan brought a weapon that was clearly highly lethal to the banquet, and also made an ambiguous statement that Director Yan was not invited to the banquet.
They look like they're here to cause trouble.
Yu Xue asked that after Yan Lan went in to change clothes, she urgently obtained a banquet list, hoping that if Yan Lan was going to tell Director Yan, then Director Yan should keep an eye on all the guests who came tonight.
And not just the Yu family.
Yan Shi opened the list of those who had been thwarted and scanned it from top to bottom.
Great, I hardly know any of them.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Yu Xue was still waiting for her reply.
Yan Shi pretended to be calm as he folded the paper back and stuffed it into his spatial bracelet: "Patriarch Yu, why don't you show me around first?"
Yu Xue asked, "Okay." She glared at Yu Youguan again, her gaze warning her to behave, before leading the way back to the banquet hall.
Yan Shi followed behind her, with Yu Youguan beside her, observing her with great interest.
"Are you the old lady's business partner?" Yu Youguan asked in a low voice.
Yan Shi did not answer.
Yu Youguan continued to mutter his thoughts to himself: "The old lady rarely treats someone with such care; she didn't even treat the distinguished guest from Bai Yujing this way last time."
Yan Shi grasped the key point. Did the Yu family have private connections with Bai Yujing, or were they collaborating?
The room brightened up, and they had already walked back into the hall.
Yu Xue turned around and asked, "Ms. Yanlan."
At the same time, Yu Youguan whispered in her ear, "I know something that even the old lady doesn't know. If I tell you, will you come with me to burn this place down?"
Author's Note: There will be another update during the day, so this chapter will be split into two. My stomach is hurting terribly, so I took some painkillers and am going to the hospital for an IV drip first QAQ
