Chapter 91 Are you sure she invited you?
Du Lianshuang's mouth twitched twice after being interrupted by Du Anrao. She calmed down a little and gave Cui Dongmei a gentle smile: "Sorry to bother you, big sister. I didn't know you were coming. I just had dinner and I'm not very hungry now."
Cui Dongmei nodded good-temperedly: "Then remember to drink it later. This old hen was sent by relatives from my hometown. Hens raised at home are the most suitable for nourishing the body. Drink more and you will get better faster."
Du Lianshuang felt mixed emotions after hearing this.
To this day, she still can't understand how someone can have such good acting skills that she can watch her lover care about another woman without any psychological burden, and even help him care for and please another woman without any complaints.
Cui Dongmei just came here to improve her impression and make herself familiar. After putting her things down, she asked a few questions about Du Lianshuang's health and then left.
As for the bucket of chicken soup she brought, Du Lianshuang poured it into another thermos bucket while Cui Jueyan was out making a phone call, and Du's mother took it away when she left.
When Xi Jingyue came, he came with Liao Yuqian, but when he left, it was Du Anrao who personally saw him off.
"I have a lot of things to do on this business trip to S City, so I may stay here for a while. I heard that you, your sister, and the one from the Li family were all born on the same day. Your birthday is in two days, so do you have any plans?"
Du Anrao was surprised that Xi Jingyue knew all this, but then he thought that he and Li Zhaoyang were cousins, and this man was probably on the invitation list for Li Qianxi's birthday in previous years, so it was not surprising that he knew this.
"My parents are planning to hold a birthday party for me and my sister, and invite all our relatives and friends to come and get together so we can get to know each other." Duan Rao paused, raised his head and asked tentatively, "Will Mr. Xi come?"
Xi Jingyue didn't say yes or no, but just asked, "Can I go?"
"Of course, but didn't Mr. Xi just say that he's very busy recently?"
"I'm busy, but I still have time to attend your birthday party. And some things are not urgent. Your birthday is more important."
Du Anrao blinked, and inexplicably felt that the tone of Xi Jingyue's words was very similar to that of Du's mother and Du Yuxi.
But since the other party has said so, it’s just a matter of adding an invitation, which is not a big deal.
Therefore, after returning, Du Anrao simply reported Xi Jingyue's name to Du's mother.
Du's mother had already anticipated this matter when she saw Xi Jingyue in the hospital, but when her youngest daughter came to her in person to talk about this, she couldn't help feeling sad that her own cabbages were about to be lost to someone else.
"An An, are you familiar with this Mr. Xi?"
"We're not that familiar with each other. We've only met a few times. He's helped me a lot."
I helped her attract several customers and accumulated a lot of merit, such as Li Zhaoyang and today's Liao Yuqian.
Du's mother was stunned for a moment, her brows slightly furrowed as if she was thinking about something.
Duan Rao was a little nervous when he saw this: "Is it inconvenient to invite him?"
Mother Du woke up as if from a dream: "No, no, no, it's not inconvenient. Since you are your friend, you can naturally come to participate. I will have someone send the invitation over later. Besides him, is there anyone else?"
"there is none left."
When Du's mother heard her words, she became even more melancholy. "Baby, you've been thinking about it for so many days, but you only invited this one person. Don't you think there's anything wrong with it?"
But children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and Mr. Xi didn't seem to have any ill will towards their children. She couldn't just condemn him, so she decided to wait and see.
Du's mother acted quickly, and Xi Jingyue was in the city at the time. He received an invitation to the birthday party at noon the next day, and then passed it to Li Zhaoyang who was still working overtime.
Li Zhaoyang:?
Xi Jingyue: An invitation to your waiter and Miss Du’s birthday party.
Li Zhaoyang:!!!
Young Master Li was so shocked that he called without stopping: "How did you get this?"
"I met Miss Du when I went to the Third Hospital for an inspection yesterday. She took the initiative to invite me to her birthday party."
"...Are you sure she invited you?" Oh my God, what's with this meaningful sense of showing off?
Xi Jingyue choked for a rare moment. Indeed, if he hadn't taken the initiative to mention the other party's birthday yesterday, the little guy would probably not have even remembered to invite him to attend.
"That's not important. What's important is that I have the invitation in my hands now. It's not like some people who work hard for a long time but still can't even get through."
Li Zhaoyang was so angry that he was speechless. After a long time, he silently sent Xi Jingyue a middle-finger emoticon.
Xi Jingyue didn't care about his incompetent rage at all: "How are things going over there? Others have already passed their coming-of-age ceremony, but you guys can't make it in time. By then, even if you want to recognize them as your relatives, I'm afraid they won't be happy about it."
Xi Jingyue had told Du Anrao that Li Zhaoyang was in a state of panic and couldn't get away, and he was not lying to her.
But for Li Zhaoyang, what really made him anxious was not the mess in his own company, but Li Qianxi's affairs.
After the dinner that day, the Li family had people keep a close eye on Li Qianxi, and obtained clear evidence that she had been in contact with her biological father for a long time, and was preparing to secretly harm Du Yuxi with the help of the other party.
But this woman was not a pushover. When she found out something was wrong, she immediately abandoned her father to save him. She took advantage of her biological father's irritable character and arranged a self-torture tactic, characterizing everything as being threatened by the other party and having no choice but to do so.
Now he is still lying in the hospital, pretending to be weak and pitiful in front of the visitors every day.
If the Li family only knew about Du Yuxi's existence on the night of the dinner, and had not found out about her tricks behind the scenes in advance, they might have been deceived by her.
However, the Li family had already seen through her true colors through past events. Li Qianxi's move backfired, and instead allowed the Li family to see more clearly the cold and ruthless nature beneath her weak appearance.
For a person who could be easily plotted and abandoned by even her biological father, it was no wonder that they had carefully raised her for more than ten years but were unable to warm her heart.
Maybe it's just like Xi Jingyue said, some people are just cold at heart.
Li Qianxi has never cared about anyone. She only cares about herself. Anyone who may harm her interests is her enemy and will be abandoned without hesitation, even if that person is her blood relative, even if that person has raised her with all his heart and soul for eighteen years.
Hearing Xi Jingyue mention Li Qianxi, Li Zhaoyang's head couldn't help but hurt again, but the words he said were extremely firm.
"My parents will pack up all her things and send her away in the next two days. From now on, she has nothing to do with our Li family, and she can no longer flaunt her name. I want to see if her brainless lickers will still recklessly surround her after she loses her status as the favored second daughter of the Li family, and whether they are willing to blatantly offend our family for her?"
