Chapter 60.
While Qian Yirong and Qu Xueer were happily enjoying the delicious food, Xu Baiqing, who was called back to the Qian family by Qian's mother, was not in such a good mood. After Xu Baiqing returned home, he found that his family had received two invitations to the Mu family's birthday party.
One was sent to Qian's father, the head of the Qian family, and the other was sent to Xu Baiqing specifically. This was also the reason why she was called back. The Mu family's invitations had also been sent to the Qian family before, but they did not send a separate one to any one of the Qian family members like this time.
From this invitation, Father Qian could already see other meanings, which made him very happy. After all, he had only heard rumors before, but this invitation sent specifically to Xu Baiqing had more meanings.
However, although Mr. Qian was happy, he was also worried in his heart. After all, although he told others that Xu Baiqing was raised outside, the Qian family knew the real situation very well.
Xu Baiqing had only been back for a short time, so he certainly didn't have a deep affection for his family. If he left the Qian family too early, he wouldn't care too much about his family. So although he was happy that Xu Baiqing had grasped the heir of the Mu family, Qian's father was unwilling to let Xu Baiqing leave the Qian family until his feelings for his family grew deep.
However, she cannot distance herself from Mu Zexuan just because of her current advantages. After all, there are many people eyeing the heir of the Mu family. So it would be best if Xu Baiqing could keep Mu Zexuan at a distance and make him like her more and more.
However, Qian's father was too embarrassed to say this, so he could only hint to Qian's mother to explain the pros and cons to Xu Baiqing. Qian's mother was also very clear about this, so when she talked to Xu Baiqing, she naturally concealed the part that was beneficial to the Qian family and only told Xu Baiqing the benefits of doing so for her.
Xu Baiqing just wanted to roll her eyes when she heard this. She was not really naive. She knew clearly the inside story of Qian's mother's earnest words. In the past, Xu Baiqing would ignore these hidden secrets and do what Qian's family wanted on the surface, mostly to gain benefits for herself.
After all, she is not that noble. Of course, she will not refuse to make a scene when something is beneficial to her. But now she can't do that. She has someone she likes and wants to be with. If she really does what Qian's mother said, let alone how Qian Yirong will react, she herself will feel that she can no longer stay with Qian Yirong with peace of mind.
So Xu Baiqing pretended to have heard what Qian's mother said, but he would not do as she said. Qian's mother only saw Xu Baiqing's superficial obedience and thought that Xu Baiqing would listen to her, so after she finished speaking, she left Xu Baiqing's room and went to prepare the formal attire for the Mu family's birthday banquet.
She finally relaxed after Xu Baiqing and the others left. Less than a day after leaving Qian Yirong, she already began to miss the relaxation of being with Qian Yirong, and she didn't know what she was doing now.
Just now, in addition to speaking a lot of nonsense to her in a serious tone, Qian's mother also asked her to stay at home for the next few days to prepare and not to look for any questionable people. Xu Baiqing keenly discovered that the person Qian's mother was referring to was Qian Yirong.
This also means that she'd better not go find Qian Yirong during this period, otherwise the Qian family will definitely take some measures. Xu Baiqing can only suppress the urge to find Qian Yirong and stay in the Qian family first, and wait until the Mu family's birthday banquet is over.
However, not being able to meet does not mean that she cannot contact Qian Yirong, so after Qian's mother left her room, Xu Baiqing quickly stepped forward and locked the door, and then began to contact Qian Yirong.
"Bai Qing..." The voice on the other end of the phone was soft and gentle, and it quickly soothed Xu Baiqing's upset mood caused by Qian Mu's words.
"Rongrong, you..." Xu Baiqing was about to talk to Qian Yirong when Qu Xueer's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Sister Bai Qing." Qu Xueer's voice was very energetic, which made Xu Baiqing feel better.
"Rongrong, are you with Xueer?" Xu Baiqing asked with a smile.
"Hmm..." Qian Yirong replied.
"Oh, what's the point of calling? Let's video chat." Qu Xueer's voice rang out.
"Then let's switch to the video." Qian Yirong said.
Xu Baiqing naturally had no objection. The two of them switched the call to video. When the screen on the other end lit up, Xu Baiqing saw Qu Xueer huddled next to Qian Yirong and looking at her phone.
"Where are you?" Xu Baiqing asked curiously, looking at the unfamiliar environment.
"Xue'er found a new place. I'll take you there next time." Qian Yirong said.
"It's also because you, Sister Bai Qing, don't have the good fortune to eat here. Chef Yu comes from a family of royal chefs, and his cooking skills are amazing." Qu Xueer said as she took out her cell phone and took pictures of the delicious dishes on the table one by one.
Xu Baiqing is not a person who cares about food, but he couldn't help but salivate when seeing the dishes on the table. He felt even more dissatisfied with Mu Zexuan. If he hadn't done so much, he wouldn't have been called over, and he wouldn't have missed the time to spend with Qian Yirong, and he could have eaten with them.
"Are you deliberately trying to tempt me?" Xu Baiqing accused unhappily.
"Hehe, no way," Qu Xueer denied it with a chuckle. Seeing the dissatisfaction on Xu Baiqing's face, she quickly said, "We'll come together next time when you're free."
"I don't have time recently." Xu Baiqing sighed helplessly.
"Aren't we still on vacation? What's wrong?" Qu Xueer asked.
"Your family should have also received the invitation to the Mu family's birthday party, right?" Xu Baiqing reminded.
"Oh, by the way, Grandpa Mu's birthday party is in a few days." Qu Xueer also thought of this when Xu Baiqing reminded her.
"Mom told me to stay at home and concentrate on preparations these days, so I won't have time until the Mu family birthday banquet is over." Xu Baiqing explained.
"Is that so..." Qu Xueer said, subconsciously glancing at Qian Yirong.
In the past, Qian Yirong would go to Grandpa Mu’s birthday party with the Qian family, but this year it seems that the Qian family does not plan to bring Qian Yirong along. This is not good for Qian Yirong. Although Qian Yirong has decided not to go to school much from next semester, these things combined have sent a bad signal to the outside world.
Qian Yirong listened to the conversation between Xu Baiqing and Qu Xueer and quickly flipped through the contents of the book. When she heard about the Mu family's birthday banquet, she had a premonition in her heart. Sure enough, this Mu family's birthday banquet was a relatively important plot.
Mu Zexuan sent an invitation to Xu Baiqing alone, showing his importance to Xu Baiqing in front of his family. The Mu family did not have much affection for Xu Baiqing, the daughter that the Qian family had just brought back from outside.
Although the Mu family did not require Mu Zexuan to marry, the person Mu Zexuan wanted to marry should be worthy of being the mistress of the Mu family. Xu Baiqing had just returned from outside and certainly did not know how to be a good mistress of the Mu family.
However, when Mu Zexuan seemed to be infatuated with Xu Baiqing, the Mu family did not openly oppose him and Xu Baiqing being together, but deliberately made Xu Baiqing face unfamiliar interpersonal relationships in order to make her give up.
When Xu Baiqing was in an awkward situation, Li Jingyan took advantage of the situation and rescued Xu Baiqing, which made Mu Zexuan realize Li Jingyan's feelings for Xu Baiqing, and the two almost became enemies.
That is to say, there will be some Shura scenes at the Mu family’s birthday party, but these have nothing to do with Qian Yirong, because she will not appear again after the school trip.
But this won't work. Qian Yirong couldn't just watch Xu Baiqing being bullied. Although this plot was meant to lead to the Shura scene later, for Xu Baiqing, the embarrassment was real at that time.
But the Qian family obviously would not take her to the Mu family's birthday party. If she wanted to go, she could only use someone else's invitation. Qian Yirong's eyes fell on Qu Xueer, but Qu Xueer would be with the Qu family, so it seemed inconvenient for her to take her with her.
"Rongrong, I can't go to your place these days, you can't forget me." Qian Yirong heard Xu Baiqing's voice and found that during the time when she was flipping through the book and thinking, after a few words back and forth with Qu Xueer, Xu Baiqing's attention was turned to her.
"Of course I won't forget you," Qian Yirong put her worries aside and started chatting with Xu Baiqing. Qian Yirong said, "You probably don't know yet, but Qu Xue'er took care of Chang Xian yesterday and almost didn't sleep the whole night. Moreover, Chang Xian was too drunk and forced Xue'er to sing for her all night..."
"Ah? Hahaha..." Xu Baiqing didn't expect this to be the development and couldn't help laughing.
"Hey!" Qu Xueer blushed and said dissatisfiedly.
Although she didn't intend to hide what happened yesterday from Xu Baiqing, Qu Xueer couldn't help but feel angry when Xu Baiqing made fun of her. It was all Xu Baiqing's bad idea that made Chang Xian too drunk. She didn't get anything out of him and was tormented the whole night.
"No...it's okay, we'll think of a way next time." Xu Baiqing said while suppressing his laughter.
"Hmph." Qu Xueer snorted, and finally let the matter go.
Originally, the three of them wanted to chat for a while, but there was a knock on the door from Xu Baiqing's side, so they had to hang up the phone in a hurry. Qian Yirong put away her phone and she was thinking about the Mu family's birthday party.
"Sister Rongrong, what are you thinking about?" Qu Xueer noticed that Qian Yirong became absent-minded after hanging up the phone, so she asked.
"The Mu family's birthday party..." Qian Yirong said subconsciously.
"Sister Rongrong, are you going?" A look of understanding flashed across Qu Xueer's eyes. She thought Qian Yirong was worried about Xu Baiqing, but with her current awkward status, she could not go to the Mu family's birthday party, so she was worried about what to do.
"You can go and help the company expand its network." Qian Yirong pursed her lips and made an excuse.
"So it's for the company," Qu Xueer said in a long voice. Seeing the embarrassment on Qian Yirong's face, she said, "I can ask my brother to get an invitation for the company, and Sister Rongrong can go to Grandpa Mu's birthday party in the name of the company."
