"Mom, why are you only arriving now? Most of the guests are already here. My brother and sister-in-law are inside greeting everyone and waiting for you!"
Upon hearing this, Chen's mother also became anxious. "The train was delayed a little. Let's go, let's go, let's go inside quickly."
After saying that, she asked again, "By the way, have the seats been arranged yet?"
"Everything is arranged for the relatives, but I don't know how to arrange the main table, as some people haven't arrived yet."
"No rush, just give me the list."
Seeing the mother and daughter rushing inside, Xu Fangmin subconsciously asked, "Mom, what's this banquet about?"
"Oh dear, I almost forgot."
Mother Shen stopped and hurriedly offered an explanation.
"Your older brother's design for the international hotel has been selected!"
"It's the weekend today, and since everyone has some free time, we've gathered together to celebrate."
Upon hearing this, Xu Fangmin's heart sank.
So it turns out they were holding a celebration banquet for the eldest son's family.
She said, "Why is the sun rising in the west today?"
Chen's mother was too busy to care about what she was thinking.
Finally, it was her mother's voice that pulled her back to reality, "Alright, your mother-in-law has been biased for a long time. There are many people here today, so don't keep making a long face."
"I understand," Xu Fangmin replied vaguely, snapping out of her daze.
The mother and daughter stood and talked for a while, when suddenly Xu's mother remembered something.
"By the way, Mom heard that your classmate, the one named Jiang Si..."
Jiang Si, Jiang Si, it's Jiang Si again!
These two words are what Xu Fangmin can't stand the most right now: "Mom, can you please not mention her in front of me anymore!"
After saying that, she shoved the child into Xu's mother's arms and stormed upstairs.
"You kid, are you on fire today?"
Mother Xu said angrily, "Who am I doing this for! They're all getting married and still causing me so much trouble."
Just then, Mingming in her arms suddenly raised her head.
"Grandma, I'll tell you a little secret..."
"What little secret?"
So Mingming told them what happened on the train.
Although some of the words cannot be fully repeated, the basic meaning is still clearly expressed.
Because of this little secret, Xu Fangmin was pulled aside by her mother before the celebration banquet even started and scolded for more than ten minutes.
She was already in a bad mood, but when she entered the banquet hall and saw her eldest son and his family looking so triumphant, she felt even more upset.
Before she had finished her meal, she made an excuse that she wasn't feeling well and wanted to go home early.
Mr. and Mrs. Xu did not stay long, as today was originally the main event for the eldest branch of the Shen family.
To be honest, they also felt ashamed.
Upon learning that their in-laws had to leave early, Mr. and Mrs. Shen did not try to persuade them to stay.
They politely escorted the person to the restaurant entrance.
The eldest son and daughter-in-law of the Shen family also followed along, showing the Xu family the utmost courtesy.
Just as the group was exchanging pleasantries, several more cars pulled up in front of the restaurant.
Upon seeing the familiar license plate number, Mr. and Mrs. Shen's faces lit up with joy.
