It was the night of Ye Rong’s birthday party.
Ye Rong did not hold a big banquet, but just invited a few friends in the circle to her home to celebrate her birthday, including Luo Hanshuang.
Originally, Ye Rong and Luo Hanshuang had fallen out because of Lin Xuqiu's matter.
Not long ago, Luo Hanshuang pestered Ye Rong in various ways, constantly talking about their past as girlhood, which brought back Ye Rong's memories.
Ye Rong and Luo Hanshuang had a friendship that lasted for decades. They became estranged because of Lin Xuqiu. Now that Lin Xuqiu has nothing to do with Luo Hanshuang, Ye Rong no longer vented her anger on her old friend.
In addition, Luo Hanshuang admitted her mistakes sincerely, and after a few interactions, Ye Rong forgave Luo Hanshuang. Although their relationship could not return to the way it was before, they still often traveled and partied together.
Luo Hanshuang also brought her daughter Lin Xi to this birthday party.
This was not the first time Ye Rong met Lin Xi. Luo Hanshuang often took Lin Xi to gatherings with other ladies, and she had a good impression of Lin Xi.
In Ye Rong's opinion, Lin Xi knows how to act, has real talents and skills, is sweet-spoken, and is very good at pleasing the elders. Apart from his ordinary looks, there seems to be nothing wrong with him.
Ye Rong felt it was a pity. If Lin Xi had come back a year earlier, she wouldn't mind having Lin Xi be her daughter-in-law, but she was afraid that Yan Ci would look down on Lin Xi's appearance.
After all, she had prepared a lot of photos of rich daughters for her eldest son, but he chose the most beautiful one among them, Lin Xuqiu, so she thought that her eldest son was a person who only cared about appearance.
Lin Xi was wearing a pink and white dress today, with fresh and elegant makeup. She looked like a newly opened daisy, pure and lively, and greeted Ye Rong with a proper smile.
"Aunt Ye, happy birthday, this is the gift I prepared for you."
Ye Rong took Lin Xi's gift with a casual smile on her face.
"Xixi is so thoughtful. Come and sit down."
Lin Xi followed her mother and sat not far from Ye Rong.
Also present were four wealthy wives, namely Mrs. Zhou (Huo Shuzhen), Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Xu.
Lin Xi greeted all the ladies one by one.
Lin Xi is the best at dealing with elders. She is very sweet-spoken and is very popular with the elders. The ladies present, whether sincere or not, all expressed their admiration and love for her.
Luo Hanshuang sat aside with a smile on her face. She was very satisfied with Lin Xi's performance. This daughter completely satisfied her vanity.
Huo Shuzhen looked around and suddenly asked.
"Arong, why haven't you seen the brothers Yanci and Ji Huai, and your daughter-in-law?"
Ye Rong remained calm, still with a faint smile on her face, as she replied.
"They are still on their way and will be here later."
The ladies exchanged glances, each with their own thoughts.
Mrs. Liu said, "Arong, your daughter-in-law is so ignorant. She didn't even come to the mother-in-law's birthday party in advance, and she even asked the elders to prepare everything for her. She is so arrogant."
"How can I control her? She has a bad temper."
The ladies present were all good friends of Ye Rong, and they often complained about their wives in private, so they were not shy about this topic.
Mrs. Xu continued, "Arong, if Lin Xuqiu were my daughter-in-law, I would definitely kick such an uneducated woman out of the Xu family."
Mrs. Wang: "Arong, you are too gentle, that's why you were bullied by a woman from a lowly family."
Mrs. Wang had just finished speaking when she glanced at Luo Hanshuang.
Luo Hanshuang felt uncomfortable when she heard so many people saying bad things about Lin Xuqiu.
Although she disliked her daughter Lin Xuqiu, she had been with her since she was a child, so it was difficult for her to completely ignore her.
So she picked up the tea on the table and sipped it gently to hide her guilt, and did not intend to join their conversation.
Lin Xi originally listened to the ladies criticizing Lin Xuqiu, and she was secretly happy, listening to their conversation carefully.
As a result, she glanced at Luo Hanshuang who was sipping tea, lowering her head and saying nothing, as if she didn't want to participate in the topic of criticizing Lin Xuqiu, which made Lin Xi feel a little unhappy.
While the ladies were chatting animatedly, Lin Xuqiu stood in the corner of the living room, listening to their conversation with anger in her eyes.
Wen Yanci originally planned to go in and interrupt their conversation, but Lin Xuqiu refused and held him back, so the two of them just listened to the conversation inside.
Just as they were chatting more and more enthusiastically, Lin Xuqiu and Wen Yanci walked in holding hands, and Lin Xuqiu even raised his voice several degrees and shouted.
"Mom, Yan Ci and I are back."
This sudden shout scared the ladies who were saying bad things about Lin Xuqiu. Their hearts trembled and everyone's faces suddenly looked unhappy.
After Ye Rong reacted, her face turned ugly and she cursed.
"Lin Xuqiu, do you still have any manners? Yelling and yelling in front of the Wen family is uncultured."
"Mom, I told Xuqiu to shout this. You guys were chatting so animatedly, I was afraid if I shouted too softly, you wouldn't hear me."
Ye Rong was frustrated. She glared at Lin Xuqiu and cursed inwardly, "Unlucky star."
Wen Yanci directly handed the gifts for the two to the housekeeper to avoid Ye Rong from finding fault on the spot.
At this time, Wen Jihuai arrived late and gave Ye Rong a big hug.
"Happy birthday, Mom. This is the gift I carefully selected for you."
Although Ye Rong opened the gift with a smile, inside was a beautiful pearl necklace.
"I have a lot of this necklace in my jewelry cabinet. I can tell at a glance that you didn't prepare the gift seriously."
Ye Rong said she was disgusted, but she carefully put it away and asked the housekeeper to put it in a prominent place in her jewelry cabinet.
"Mom, who said I didn't choose the gift carefully? I spent almost a month choosing it because it matches your temperament best. It's just as elegant and luxurious..."
