Madam Li walked towards Xiao Ruanruan and the others, leaning on her imposing dragon-headed cane. Su Yiqing was already standing beside her younger siblings.
Madam Li's sharp gaze swept over them. "Mr. Su, although my Li family is not as wealthy as your Su family, we are still a prominent family in the capital."
We kindly invited you to our banquet, but your younger siblings caused a ruckus and ruined my granddaughter's birthday party. Isn't that going too far?
Before Su Yiqing could speak, Xiao Ruanruan had already reached out and grabbed her older brother's hand, puffed out her little chest, raised her little face, and looked at Madam Li with a righteous air, "Madam Li, you are not right. It's not that we want to cause trouble at your granddaughter's banquet, but that Sister Li is causing trouble at her own birthday banquet!"
As Xiao Ruanruan spoke, she gestured for Su Lei to bring out the cups that Li Wanjun had used to give them juice earlier. "These three cups were used by Sister Li to hold juice for us earlier, and they all have traces of sedatives on them."
Although Li Wanjun had made good arrangements, as soon as they put down their cups, she took them upstairs under the pretext that Qin Sihan needed to change her clothes.
But Xiao Ruanruan still found an opportunity and sent a message to her brother Su Lei, asking him to leave the three cups behind and not wash them.
Upon hearing Xiao Ruanruan's words, Su Yiqing's previously calm demeanor instantly turned icy, and her gaze towards Old Madam Li became like an ice dagger. "Pilling my sister with drugs is how your Li family treats its guests? Your Li family is truly something else!"
Old Madam Li's body stiffened for a moment. Before the banquet, she had sternly warned Li Wanjun not to cause any more trouble.
I never imagined that Li Wanjun would dare to do something like this right under my nose.
Her sharp gaze swept over Xia Xingyun, who shuddered slightly.
Li Wanjun's actions were completely unexpected. She had told Li Wanjun as soon as she returned that today was crucial to her return to the Li family, and that Li Wanjun must behave well for her mother's sake. But…
Li Dazhi quickly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Su, none of us adults know about this. It was all caused by the children."
"Okay, I'll ask Wanjun about this later and find out what really happened. Don't worry, we'll definitely give you an explanation."
He wanted to go into business and was hoping to improve his relationship with the Su family so that Su Yiqing would help him out. He dared not offend Su Yiqing.
"ah--"
As soon as Li Dazhi finished speaking, another scream came from the second floor from Li Wanjun.
Madam Li's heart jumped again, but as an old lady who had experienced many storms, she remained calm and composed, and even instructed the housekeeper and servants to see the guests off in an orderly manner.
Moreover, they were very polite and thoughtful, giving each guest a small gift.
Finally, only Madam Qin, Grandpa Qin, Su Yiqing with the four children of the Su family and Qin Sihan remained in the hall.
Li Dazhi and Xia Xingyun brought Li Wanjun, who had washed and put on makeup, and Qin Xinyu and Qin Shuai, whose faces were swollen like pig heads, down from upstairs.
Li Dazhi's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot, while Xia Xingyun was holding Li Wanjun's hand trembling with fear.
I was hoping to make amends by performing well today, but now...
At this moment, she even felt a little resentful towards Li Wanjun.
I used to think my daughter was beautiful, smart, and perfect in every way, but now...
She had no idea how her daughter, whom she had cherished since childhood and raised with the best possible conditions, could have turned into such a fool!
She actually believed in some old sage, went and planted some trees, and ruined the beautiful skin she had spent so much money on maintaining.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her, Xia Xingyun quietly went upstairs and entered Li Wanjun's room.
By this time, pillows, blankets, and clothes were scattered all over the floor in Li Wanjun's room. Under the guidance of Old Madam Li, she no longer dared to throw anything that could be broken.
Seeing Xia Xingyun enter, Li Wanjun showed no joy or relief whatsoever. Instead, she glared fiercely at Xia Xingyun and asked, "What are you doing here now?"
Hearing Li Wanjun's words, Xia Xingyun was extremely displeased, but seeing her pampered daughter in this state, she still felt sorry for her.
He pulled Li Wanjun to sit down on the small sofa and said earnestly, "My dear daughter, now is not the time for you to throw a tantrum."
The reason your father invited Su Yiqing and the others is because he has resigned from his government job and is preparing to go into business. That's why he's throwing such a grand birthday party for you, hoping to get closer to the big shots in the business world.
"Su Yiqing is your father's primary target."
Li Wanjun was exposed to this kind of thing from a young age, and she is very quick-witted in this regard.
He instantly understood and nervously asked Xia Xingyun, "Mommy, I messed up Daddy's big plan because of a moment of confusion. Daddy and Grandma won't forgive me. What should I do now?"
Xia Xingyun sighed softly and said seriously to Li Wanjun, "Find a way to get the Su family to forgive you!"
"Mommy, you want me to apologize to Su Ruanruan, Su Qianqian, and that little bitch Qin Sihan?" Li Wanjun looked at her mother in disbelief.
Then, she gritted her teeth, her whole body radiating rage, "No, impossible! I will never apologize to those bitches, even if Grandma and Dad kick me out, I will never apologize!"
Xia Xingyun patted Li Wanjun's hand, "Good daughter, Mommy said to ask the Su family to forgive you, not to apologize to them."
Li Wanjun was puzzled. "I haven't even apologized, how could they possibly forgive me?"
Xia Xingyun's lips curled into a confident smile. She patted Li Wanjun's hand and said with self-assurance, "Mommy means that they will have no choice but to forgive!"
Li Wanjun still looked confused. Xia Xingyun didn't say much to Li Wanjun, but only said, "Don't worry about this. First, put on a beautiful new makeup and then explain things to your grandma and dad, and beg them for leniency."
"Leave the rest to Mommy."
A fleeting look of doubt crossed Li Wanjun's eyes as she looked at her mother. She didn't really believe in her mother's abilities, but... she had no choice but to believe now!
and……
She felt that even if Xia Xingyun messed up the Su family's affairs, it would only be Xia Xingyun who would be kicked out, which was better than her being kicked out herself!
Thinking this, Li Wanjun nodded and threw herself into Xia Xingyun's arms. "Mommy, thank you for helping me at this time. In this world, you are the only one who is the best to me."
Xia Xingyun's resentment towards Li Wanjun had completely vanished.
She is different from her mother, Xia Lanjiao. Xia Lanjiao is an extreme egoist who only cares about herself, while she is truly devoted to her daughter, Li Wanjun.
(I moved today, I'm so tired, I really can't go on. I'll owe you a chapter for now, I'll make it up tomorrow! Love you all, muah!)
