"Sister, is it over inside?" Li Minxue asked with a smile.
Jiang Peirong breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt strange, wondering why this person was so kind.
Especially when she took over Ying Huanyu, Li Minxue's expression was still reluctant.
"Why don't you go in and play for a while, and I'll help you look after the child."
Jiang Peirong felt even more strange and refused repeatedly, "No, I'll take a look myself. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, she just caught a cold. You should make sure she wears more clothes—"
Li Minxue explained with concern, and Jiang Peirong's face changed slightly, "Why do you care about her so much? Do you know her?"
"I don't know her, but I know the Xue family. I heard that she is the adopted daughter of the Xue family, so I am particularly concerned about her." Li Minxue laughed dryly and found an excuse to leave.
The more Jiang Peirong thought about it, the more puzzled she felt. She carried Ying Huanyu back to the banquet.
At this time, the schedule for the one-year-old birthday party was basically completed. Jiang Qiuyu held Xue Jiayu and fed her milk at the main table. Seeing Xue Jiayu holding the bottle and sucking hard, her heart was melted.
Xue Wangjun took Zhan Aoxiang to toast with others, wanting to introduce the locals to Zhan Aoxiang.
When Jiang Peirong came back carrying Ying Huanyu, Jiang Qiuyu remembered that Ying Huanyu had not eaten yet, so she asked someone to prepare milk powder.
"Fortunately nothing happened."
Jiang Qiuyu rarely teased Ying Huanyu, and Ying Huanyu immediately grabbed her fingers and refused to let go.
"Let go, Huanyu." Jiang Qiuyu was held so tightly that she couldn't hug Xue Jiayu anymore, so she could only coax Ying Huanyu to let go.
Ying Huanyu let go of her hand unhappily. Jiang Peirong was about to hand her finger to her, but found that she had turned around to pull Xue Jiayu's hand.
Xue Jiayu was drinking milk, and Ying Huanyu's finger almost poked her bottle, almost causing her to choke on the milk.
Jiang Qiuyu was very unhappy and sat farther away with Xue Jiayu in her arms.
"Just now I was carrying her out and met a very strange woman..." Jiang Peirong recounted her experience and also mentioned Li Minxue's name.
When Jiang Qiuyu heard the name Li Minxue, her face turned pale.
"Are you sure it's Li Minxue?"
"I'm sure! I looked at her ID card specifically."
Jiang Qiuyi barely held on to the table and quickly asked the waiter to call Xue Wangjun.
Xue Wangjun had finished three rounds of drinks and was talking to others about how cute his daughter was. When he heard his wife calling him, he hurried over to Jiang Qiuyu.
"What's wrong, wife?"
He reeked of alcohol. If it were usual times, Jiang Qiuyi would definitely not let him get close to Xue Jiayu, but today she couldn't care less.
"Li Minxue is outside!"
When Xue Wangjun heard the name Li Minxue, he became furious and drunk.
"I'm going out there to catch her now!"
Xue Wangjun rushed out, but couldn't find Li Minxue. He immediately called the manager and asked him how he found her.
"He's clearly still in the hotel, how come you can't find him?"
The manager nodded and bowed, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xue, but we've really looked everywhere. Li Minxue is very familiar with the hotel, so we won't be able to find her for a while. Why don't you go eat first, and we'll call you when we find her."
"Stop it!" Xue Wangjun pointed at the hotel door, "Close the door. I want to search every floor."
"I'm afraid that won't work..." The manager had a headache. The Xue family's one-year-old banquet was equivalent to the hotel's two-month sales performance. He dared not offend this big boss no matter what.
But in addition to the first and second floors being used as banquet halls, there are also guests staying upstairs. How can we explain this to those guests if we close the door?
Li Minxue saw Xue Wangjun and the manager arguing, so she immediately ran away from the kitchen.
Finally, the manager closed the door of the hotel under pressure. Xue Wangjun personally led people to search floor by floor, but still could not find Li Minxue.
"You see, it's not that we didn't try hard to find someone. It's really..."
Xue Wangjun's face turned dark, but he didn't know what to say.
He adjusted his expression before returning to the banquet. Jiang Qiuyu had instructed that he must not disturb the guests at all costs, so he did not show any sign before arresting the man.
Jiang Qiuyi held Xue Jiayu and looked towards the door repeatedly until she saw Xue Wangjun coming back and asked hurriedly, "Did you find it?"
"No. Damn it."
Jiang Qiuyi immediately covered Xue Jiayu's ears and looked at Xue Wangjun in a reproachful manner, "Don't say dirty words, Xiaobao will learn from you."
Jiang Peirong said with a smile, "It's not that serious. Xiaobao is just a little boy. He can't learn it."
"She's really good at learning." Jiang Qiuyi said cryptically, and quickly changed the subject, "Are you sure you've searched every corner?"
"I found it myself."
Xue Wangjun slammed the table and said, "I hate this woman whenever I think of her. So, after the banquet is over, you guys go back to the city first, and I'll come back after I catch her."
Xue Jiayu, who was drinking milk, felt that this plot was so familiar.
In the original book, Li Minxue deliberately separated his parents, and then when Xue Wangjun was driving alone, she filled his gas tank with water, causing a car accident.
This is also part of the Xue family's tragedy.
So she struggled violently.
[No! Dad, you have to go back with us]
Xue Wangjun didn't understand why and just thought that the baby couldn't leave him.
But Xue Jiayu's next words scared him.
[If you separate from us, you will have a car accident]
Jiang Qiuyi's face turned pale, and she grabbed Xue Wangjun's sleeve, "Husband, you, you should come with us."
"Um."
Xue Wangjun felt uneasy as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart. Zhan Aoxiang noticed it and asked him why.
"Let's talk about it when we get back. After the banquet is over, we'll go straight back to the city. Is that okay with you guys?"
Zhan Aoxiang didn't expect such a quick answer, but he still respected Xue Wangjun's arrangement.
"Of course. Peirong, go back and get your luggage first."
"No, I'll arrange it."
Xue Wangjun has a secretary who is from the same hometown as him. He also came back to attend the birthday party and is a relatively honest person.
"Xue Yang, go to my house and pack your luggage."
Xue Wangjun gave detailed instructions, and Xue Yang immediately followed his instructions. He quickly rushed to Xue's house, packed up the luggage of both families, delivered it to the hotel, and loaded it into the car one by one.
But I left in such a hurry that I left my keys in the car.
Li Minxue waited until he was far away before coming out from the dark. She was delighted to see the car keys in the car.
Isn't this God helping her?
As the banquet entered the second half, although the guests were still in high spirits, the host had already thought about leaving.
Xu Suzhen didn't know what was going on yet. She was chatting with her sisters when Xue Wangjun came over and patted her shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Mom, let's go now."
Xu Suzhen was hard of hearing and didn't hear clearly, so she asked loudly.
"What?"
"Go back to the city!" Xue Wangjun emphasized his tone, which scared the old lady.
When Xu Suzhen's sisters heard this, they all blamed Xue Wangjun, "Your mother finally came back, but you didn't let her chat with us to her heart's content."
"That's right, I was asking your mother about life in the city!"
"Your mother hasn't chatted with us in a long time in order to save phone bills. You, as a son, can't be so heartless!"
