After escaping from Gu Yuheng, Lin Chuxia couldn't wait to return to school, but on the way, she received a call from Xie Jinya, who ordered her to go home immediately.
Lin Chuxia, who originally wanted to return to school immediately, had no choice but to order the driver to turn around and take her to An's house.
"Young Madam, should I wait here for you?"
Lin Chuxia shook her head, "No need, I'll contact you again if I need anything!"
She didn't know why Xie Jinya had called her back, nor did she know if she could get away anytime soon.
...
In the living room.
An Mingzhu glanced frequently toward the gate, a faint smile on her face, subtly trying to sow discord between Xie Jinya and her mother, saying, "Mom, when Chuxia comes back, if she says anything inappropriate, let's be patient. After all, Chuxia harbors some resentment towards us. I believe that when Chuxia grows up, she will understand the suffering you've endured, Mom and Dad."
"You're just trying to be kind. If that brat were even a little bit as sensible as you, would your father and I be so angry with her?"
The main reason for calling Lin Chuxia back this time was to discuss the banquet arrangements for the next two weeks.
Although Grandpa An had given a stern warning, Xie Jinya was still unwilling to do as he said.
She thought she could just make a small one, get a few media outlets to hype it up, and then use it to appease the old man.
In her heart, it was too shameful to hold a banquet for Lin Chuxia and let all the people in high society know that Lin Chuxia was her daughter.
Anyway, if she doesn't handle this matter well, the old man will at most scold her a few times, but he won't really do anything to her.
So much time has passed that Xie Jinya has long forgotten the fear that Old Master An's rage brought her back then.
Of course, it would be even better if Lin Chuxia could talk to the old man herself and say that she didn't want to hold a big event, so that no matter what, she wouldn't be blamed.
As soon as Lin Chuxia returned to the An family home, she found that Xie Jinya, who always disliked her, actually smiled gently at her and, for the first time ever, instructed the family's servants to cook some of her favorite dishes for dinner.
Lin Chuxia expressed that she was somewhat flattered.
Something unusual must be going on.
After listening for a while, Lin Chuxia quickly understood the implied meaning behind Xie Jinya's roundabout words.
She said expressionlessly, "Fine, I don't care."
"Then it's settled. I'll call your grandfather right now and explain!" Xie Jinya was overjoyed and couldn't wait to make the call.
However, after the call connected, Xie Jinya's expression changed instantly as soon as she began to speak. She hurriedly explained, "No, Dad, I originally wanted to have a big celebration too. It was her, Lin Chuxia, who didn't want to! Really, Dad, you can ask her if you don't believe me, she's right here beside me!"
On the other end of the phone, Old Master An jumped up in anger, cursing, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking! Let me tell you, even if Chu Xia agrees to this, it's useless. I'll do what I say! If you're unwilling to spend this little bit of money, then this old man will pay for an even bigger one myself!"
I don't know what Grandpa An said on the other end of the phone, but Xie Jinya was like a defeated rooster. She lost her initial confidence and responded meekly with a few "yes"s before hanging up the phone in a panic.
