When Wen Xi paid for the taxi, she realized that the invitation card she had put in her bag was missing.
The receptionist outside He's house stopped her politely.
"I'm sorry, miss, but you can't come in without an invitation."
Wen Xi was about to explain the situation when a strong force suddenly pushed her aside.
Looking back, it turned out to be Cai Shizhen and Yao Jiali, mother and daughter.
"What are you doing?"
Wen Xi steadied himself and held the box containing the painting tightly in his hands.
"What for? Of course we're kicking you out!" Cai Shizhen put one hand on her waist and pointed at Wen Xi, scolding, "What kind of family is the He family? They're not the kind of place you can come to!"
"So, you stole the invitation from my bag?"
Wen Xi looked at the three women standing in front of him.
Tsk, not only is she dressed up, but she also put on heavy makeup and did her hair. It seems she came prepared.
"What do you mean by stealing or not? If you can't speak, just shut up. Can you call us if you take things from our house? All the guests attending the banquet today are important figures. How dare you come to our house when you're fooling around outside all day? You're not afraid of being laughed at, but we are. I'm warning you, don't even think about ruining our reputation! Get out of here right now!" Cai Shizhen said with a dark face, about to drive him away.
Wen Xi avoided her push, and the old woman stumbled and almost fell to the ground. She was so angry that she cursed loudly, attracting the attention of many guests who came to the banquet.
Afraid of being laughed at, Song Qingxue hurriedly walked up to Cai Shizhen and whispered, "Grandma, so many people are watching..."
After being reminded by her granddaughter, Cai Shizhen finally reacted and remembered the purpose of their coming here today, and quickly stopped swearing.
Seeing the old woman calm down, Song Qingxue then walked up to Wen Xi and softly explained, "Sister, don't take grandma's words to heart. She was just worried that the He family was still unhappy about the previous business matter. After all, the new season's jewelry launch was delayed, and they would definitely not be happy to see you. In order to avoid embarrassing you, we attended on your behalf."
"Yes, Xiaoxi, we mean well, don't misunderstand." Yao Jiali, who had hurried back from Yun Province after receiving the letter to attend the banquet, said with a look of helplessness, "My eldest sister doesn't like occasions like this, and my brother-in-law is away on business. We came here because your reputation is too bad. After all, the elders invited us, and it would be rude not to come. Okay, you can go back first. Don't worry, I will take Xue'er to ask President He for mercy on the company matter. Maybe then, for our sake, my brother-in-law can be asked to pay less liquidated damages."
Ever since Song Tengda swallowed up most of the Taiqing jade in the country, Yao Jiali couldn't hold back any longer. Her face was full of smugness, and she started to drive Wen Xi away directly, with impatience in her tone barely concealed.
"So you're here to plead for the company to pay less liquidated damages?" Wen Xi sneered as she looked at these so-called relatives in front of her. "If you hadn't told me, I would have thought you were here to find a rich husband and a second love."
"What nonsense are you talking about, you little bitch?"
Cai Shizhen's old face flushed when his secret was touched upon, and his voice broke with anger.
"Why? You're all dressed up so flamboyantly, with some dresses having so little fabric that they're almost as thin as swimsuits. Who wouldn't think so?"
"What are you talking about, sister? Dresses are all like this now. We're already wearing conservative clothes."
Song Qingxue's face turned slightly red, and there was a hint of displeasure between her brows.
"Can altering a swimsuit to wear as a dress be considered conservative? Well, I'm short on knowledge."
Wen Xi chuckled and didn't want to get entangled with them anymore. She strode towards the receptionist and asked him to help call the old butler.
Now she just wanted to deliver the painting as soon as possible so that she could go back to sleep.
"I told you to leave and stop embarrassing yourself here, why won't you listen?!"
Yao Jiali held her tightly.
