Unexpectedly, young people in this era are also interested in becoming actors and making movies. The third cousin has more and more fans, and the small tea table is almost crowded with people. Meng Tao got up and left, walking around and visiting the unique Yan Mansion.

The banquet was not ready yet, so everyone was free to move around, some gathered in groups of three or five to drink tea, eat fruit snacks and chat, some played games that interested them. Although computer and mobile phone networks were still very far away, and there were currently no exciting ways to play such as car racing, horse racing and gambling in the country, there were still many ways to entertain, such as chess, cards, calligraphy and painting, playing the piano, singing and dancing. Meng Tao also saw a pool table in the side yard, surrounded by a group of young men who cheered from time to time.

Young people, no matter what era, are always good at having fun.

Meng Tao walked and looked around. Many people greeted her, some of whom she had seen before and some of whom she had not seen before. She responded politely to each of them.

They also met a few acquaintances, such as Dou Qianqian, Xiao Yu, Lu Hongmei and her sister-in-law, Fan Xiuyin and others. Seeing that Meng Tao was alone, they all wanted to pull her into the small group. Meng Tao said that she came with her cousins, so they gave up, stood there and talked for a few words, agreed to play together later, and then went their separate ways.

Meng Tao heard the melodious music in the small dance hall and was about to go in to take a look when two people ran up from behind, one of them holding her arm, and shouted with a smile: "We found you, Sister Tao Tao, why are you here?"

Meng Tao saw that it was Han Dongdong and Xia Moli, and said, "Yan Baozhi said you two were in here, so I wanted to come and admire your dancing."

Han Dongdong laughed: "We'll dance for you later. Just don't say anything about us making a fool of ourselves."

Xia Moli smiled and said, "It's too early for the dance. There are many interesting programs today, which are scheduled until the evening. The banquet will start soon. Let's go over there and sit together."

"In that case, I may not be able to watch you dance."

"Why?"

"Little Yunhai needs to be fed. I can only be out for two hours. If I exceed that time, he will be hungry and will cry."

"Oh, it's true! How pitiful it is to see my little nephew starving? You should have brought him along!" Han Dongdong complained.

Meng Tao: "His grandparents won't let me bring him, what should I do? It's great that I can come out and play for a while by myself."

The three of them chatted and laughed as they walked towards the banquet. Meng Tao wanted to go back to look for her cousin, but Han Dongdong said there was no need to look for her. She and Xia Moli came over from her cousin's place and agreed to meet at the banquet.

Not long after they walked, they met a group of four young women. Meng Tao knew two of them, Jiang Xiuzhen and Feng Liuyun.

Jiang Xiuzhen glanced at Meng Tao with disdain, then smiled and greeted Han Dongdong and Xia Moli: "Dongdong, Moli, you came really early."

Han Dongdong kept a straight face as if he didn't hear anything.

Xia Moli simply ignored Jiang Xiuzhen and stared at Feng Liuyun: "How did you get in? You are not welcome here."

"Jasmine, you..."

Feng Liuyun's eyes were red, and she looked pitiful: "It's really unfair for you to treat me like this!"

Jiang Xiuzhen's smile disappeared, and she gritted her teeth in hatred: the damn Dou Nannan announced in the circle that she was breaking off relations with her, and many brainless ladies stopped paying attention to her. Now Han Dongdong and Xia Moli also have the same attitude. They even didn't send her an invitation to Yan Baozhi's birthday party today, so she had to follow others in.

Jiang Xiuzhen suppressed her hatred but was determined to defend Feng Liuyun. She said to Xia Moli, "You are so rude. Why do you treat Liuyun like this? This is not your home. Does she need to ask if you welcome her as a guest?"

Xia Moli looked at Jiang Xiuzhen coldly: "This is my friend's house. I am helping to entertain the guests at his birthday party. I can review the list of invited guests and add or delete them at will. Feng Liuyun was not invited and is not welcome. Moreover, you were not invited today. Don't you feel embarrassed standing here?"

Jiang Xiuzhen: “…” Her face instantly turned red, as if blood would drip out soon.

"Xia Moli! What grudge do I have against you?"

"No."

"My family and the Yan family have a personal relationship. Yan Baozhi must have invited me for her birthday. You deleted it. Why?"

"Because you have an ugly mind, I don't want to see you, and Baozhi doesn't want to see you either."

"…It's that bitch Dou Nannan again! She slandered me!"

Han Dongdong: "How dare you scold Sister Dou Nannan? I'll remember it for her, and she'll come back to settle the score with you."

“…”

Xia Moli: "You two can go out by yourselves, so I don't have to call for help."

Feng Liuyun's tears fell: "Jasmine, please give me an hour and listen to me..."

Xia Moli: "Feng Liuyun, you can go back and continue to dream your dream. Go find whoever is willing to believe you, and don't look for me. I'm not interested at all!"

"You have to think about Xia Yufeng, Jasmine!"

Meng Tao reached out and held her hand to comfort her, and Xia Moli calmed down a little.

Feng Liuyun saw this and a fierce look flashed in her eyes: "Xia Moli, you didn't listen to me and chose to believe this Meng Tao. You will definitely regret it!"

Meng Tao glanced at her and said, "Feng Liuyun, I think you might as well change your name to "Psychopath". Tell everyone you meet that your dream came true. Be careful, or a doctor from the mental hospital will come to you one day."

Feng Liuyun: "Meng Tao, you are not a kind person. You just can't stand others being better than you, and you deliberately want to destroy the friendship between me and Jasmine."

Jiang Xiuzhen chimed in: "Yes, he pretends to be a good person on the surface, but actually has evil intentions!"

Han Dongdong flexed his wrists: "Crazy, I have to slap them both!"

Meng Tao held her back and said, "She's just a lunatic. Don't let it affect your mood. Save your energy for dancing later."

Han Dongdong was amused again, pointing at Jiang Xiuzhen and the other two: "Just be thankful, today is a good day and I'll let you go. Remember not to run into me next time!"

Xia Moli turned around and called the security guard: "These two people are not invited guests, they are here to cause trouble, take them out!"

Jiang Xiuzhen winked at the two girls beside her. The two girls stood up and one of them said, "Moli, this is not your birthday party, why take it so seriously? We have all been playing together since we were young, so it doesn't matter whether there are invitations or not. We just want to have fun."

Another said, "That's right. You are bullying the weak. This is too much! I won't invite you to my birthday party."

Xia Moli smiled and said, "Lian Jinghan, you invited me in previous years. Did you see me go? Did others go?"

The last two sentences were not said: With your eldest brother Lian Yinghao's reputation, how many girls dare to go in? Lian Jinghan was quite smart, she understood, her face turned red, and she didn't dare to say anything: Indeed, her birthday party has been deserted for several years, just a family gathering.

"And you, Wei Ningning. Wasn't your nephew's 100-day party yesterday lively? I asked you to come and relax today, not to cause trouble."

Wei Ningning is the youngest daughter of the Wei family, born to Miao Meiyue. When she heard what Xia Moli said, her face suddenly turned bad, and she glared at Xia Moli fiercely: "Don't accuse me wrongly, how could I cause trouble?"

After saying that, she shook off Jiang Xiuzhen's hand and ran away.

Lian Jinghan took a look and followed Wei Ningning away.

Jiang Xiuzhen and Feng Liuyun were the only ones left. Even though they were unwilling, the two security guards were expressionless and very strong. They showed no mercy and did not give them any chance to make a fuss. The two had no choice but to leave honestly.

Seeing them walking away, Meng Tao asked, "From the names of the two girls just now, one is from the Lian Mansion, Lian Yinghao's sister, and the other is the sister of Wei Ziping from the Wei Mansion?"

Han Dongdong nodded: "Yes, Lian Jinghan is Lian Yinghao's cousin. There are three unmarried girls in the Lian family. Lian Jinghan is the same age as us, and the other two are still young. Wei Ningning is Wei Ziyao's biological sister, and she has the same father as Wei Ziping but different mothers."

"Jasmine said there was something exciting going on at the Wei Mansion yesterday? I also attended the Hundred Days Banquet yesterday, so how come I didn't know about it?"

Xia Moli: "You also went to the Wei Mansion to attend the Hundred Days Banquet? You were only there for a while during the day, so you definitely wouldn't know that their family got into a commotion at night.

I also heard from my grandparents about their family: My grandma and mom went to a banquet, but they didn't come back at night, so my grandpa called to ask, and Uncle Wei invited my grandpa over as well. My grandpa and Grandpa Wei had worked together before and had a good relationship, so when there was something going on at the Wei Mansion, Uncle Wei invited my grandpa over to discuss it.

My grandfather went there, and the two old people didn't return home until after eleven o'clock in the evening. My grandparents were exhausted and angry. They scolded Uncle Wei for being confused and Miao Meiyue for being vicious. I understood as I listened and asked - Miao Meiyue, as the stepmother-in-law, treated her daughter-in-law harshly. What's more serious is that she abused the Wei family's grandson who was just born not long ago, causing both mother and son to be in poor health. He fainted on the day of the 100-day banquet and was sent to the hospital. After an examination, it was found that they were severely malnourished and had various diseases that endangered their lives! The eldest son of the Wei family was angry and wanted to divide the family. He was right. He had Grandpa Wei's handwritten letter in his hand, which was the will. It clearly stated the rights of the eldest grandson in black and white. My grandfather and several other grandfathers testified. The elders of the Wei family and Sister Yuting's family were also angry at Miao Meiyue's behavior, and they all agreed to divide the family. As a result, their family was really divided last night."

"Is there such a thing? Separating the family overnight."

"Yes, my grandmother said it's better to separate them. Otherwise, Miao Meiyue would treat the mother and son harshly."

Han Dongdong said: "How can there be such a mother-in-law? She is so terrible that I don't even want to get married."

Meng Tao patted her lightly and said, "It's not about whether you want to get married or not, it's about whether people dare to marry you. With your style of getting in trouble as soon as you disagree, even the most terrifying mother-in-law wouldn't dare to approach you."

“Puff.”

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The three of them were laughing happily when Yan Baozhi came out and said with a smile, "The banquet is about to start, what are you doing? It's so lively, do you really want three women to put on a show?"

Xia Moli told Yan Baozhi about how she stopped Jiang Xiuzhen and Feng Liuyun.

Yan Baozhi: "Fortunately I found him in time and chased him away. Otherwise I would have been disgusted and my mood would have been ruined if I had seen that kind of person."
