"This old woman is so old, how can she still be so reckless? The road is not narrow, but she can still bump into me. It is quite incomprehensible."
Qiao Lin couldn't help but complain a few words.
Qiao Jing glanced in the direction the old lady left, feeling a little suspicious in her heart.
Qiao Hong patted Qiao Lin on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, don't worry about it. As long as everyone is fine, let's go in first and talk about it later."
After saying that, she pulled Qiao Lin and walked to the door of the banquet hall first.
Qiao Jing led Zhan Qiao Yu and followed him up.
At this time, in a hidden corner not far away, the old lady who had bumped into Qiao Lin just now was standing in front of Yang Xiaoxiao.
Yang Xiaoxiao suppressed her voice and asked impatiently: "How is it? Have you got it?"
"Got it."
The old lady responded and immediately took out an invitation card from the woven basket.
Looking at the invitation stolen from Qiao Lin, a proud smile appeared on Yang Xiaoxiao's face.
She knew that, based on the temperaments of the three Qiao sisters, the invitation must be for Qiao Lao Er.
Sure enough, she really guessed it!
Previously in Yueji Pavilion, the three sisters of the Qiao family had embarrassed her so much that she really couldn't swallow it!
Now that there is no invitation, let’s see how they can attend Miss Zhan’s engagement party!
"You don't have to give me the invitation. You can find a trash can and throw it away yourself."
After Yang Xiao finished reading, he took out a certain amount of cash from his bag and handed it to the old lady.
The old lady immediately reached out to take it, put the money into the basket, and left happily.
At the entrance of the banquet hall, as soon as Qiao Jing and others approached, the waiter standing by came over and asked them to show their invitations.
Only then did Qiao Lin realize that the invitation was missing.
Qiao Hong frowned, looking a little anxious, "Look again, or did you just leave it in the car?"
"How could it be left in the car? I just confirmed it when I got off the car. It must be in the bag. How could it suddenly disappear? This makes no sense..."
Qiao Lin was also very anxious, muttering to herself while rummaging through her bag.
Qiao Jing pondered for a few seconds and asked thoughtfully: "Second sister, are you sure that the invitation was still in your bag when you got off the car just now?"
"I'm sure, very sure!"
Qiao Lin said this without hesitation and her tone was extremely firm.
Qiao Jing pursed her red lips lightly and expressed her guess, "If that's the case, then there's something wrong with the old woman who bumped into you just now."
Since her second sister confirmed that the invitation was still there when she got off the car, it means that the invitation disappeared after the old woman bumped into her.
They didn't know the old woman. She had no grievances and no grudges. There was no reason for the old woman to do this.
Unless the old woman was instructed by someone!
After listening to Qiao Jing's words, Qiao Lin's face instantly showed a look of enlightenment.
She patted her head and said in an annoyed tone, "I just said, why is that old lady so weird? She refuses to walk in a normal way and bumps into me instead. It turns out she has bad intentions!"
"Thankfully, I was worried that she would get hurt, but I didn't expect that she would be such a person. It's really disgusting!"
As soon as Qiao Lin finished speaking, Qiao Hong also said indignantly: "No wonder they say a person cannot be judged by his appearance. Who would have thought that such an old man would do such a despicable thing!"
When the waiter saw that they couldn't get the invitation for a long time, his good attitude suddenly changed and he said angrily: "If you can't get the invitation, don't come and join in the fun!"
"This is Miss Zhan's engagement party, not one of those shabby little gatherings. Get out of here and don't get in the way!"
When Qiao Lin heard what the other party said, she immediately became even more unhappy.
It's as if they are shameless and just want to eat and drink!
She snorted and gritted her teeth: "Didn't you hear us? It's not like we don't have invitations, it's just that the invitations were stolen!"
As soon as Qiao Lin finished speaking, Yang Xiaoxiao's sarcastic voice came over.
"Who knows if what you are saying is true? Maybe you three sisters have discussed it and deliberately performed a double act here in order to get in."
While talking, Yang Xiaoxiao had already walked over.
After standing still, she glanced at Qiao Jing and the others with disdain, and said to the waiter: "The three of them are from a small family. They must not have been invited by the Zhan family. You can't let them get in."
Hearing such inflammatory words, Qiao Lin was so angry that she immediately glared at Yang Xiaoxiao fiercely, "Young man, if you don't find trouble for one day, will you die?"
Qiao Hong also stared at Yang Xiaoxiao and said angrily: "Yang Xiaoxiao, can you stop being so shameless? You know that we have an invitation and you deliberately say such things!"
"What does it mean to know clearly? Don't make it sound like I'm very familiar with you!"
Yang Xiaoxiao crossed his arms across his chest, with a mocking look on his face, "Besides, if you had an invitation, you would have taken it out long ago. Why do you need to pretend to be here?"
"The old woman who stole our invitation just now was arranged by you, right?"
Qiao Jing, who had been silent at first, suddenly spoke. She looked at Yang Xiaoxiao with cold eyes, and her eyebrows were cold.
Although what she said was a question, her tone was very firm.
Yang Xiaoxiao has repeatedly opposed them, and he is the one who has the most reason to do so.
Moreover, if it wasn't Yang Xiaoxiao's fault, Yang Xiaoxiao wouldn't have been so sure that they couldn't get the invitation as soon as they came over!
Under Qiao Jing's fierce questioning, Yang Xiaoxiao, who had a guilty conscience, suddenly became angry from shame.
She glared at Qiao Jing and snorted coldly: "Qiao Laosan, stop talking nonsense here, about stealing invitations, about being an old woman, I don't know what you are talking about! Don't even think about throwing dirty water on me!"
After saying that, Yang Xiaoxiao looked at the waiter next to him and said provocatively: "This matter is serious, so I would like to remind you a few words."
"Today is Miss Zhan's engagement party. If things get serious, your job will definitely not be saved, and you might not be able to stay in the Imperial Capital any longer!"
"So, it's up to you how to deal with this matter!"
By this time, many people had been attracted by the noise of the dispute and gathered at the door of the banquet hall, talking about this scene.
"What are you arguing about? Who knows what's going on?"
"It seems that the three women couldn't take out the invitation and said it was stolen. The waiter stopped them from entering."
"Yes, then the three women suspected that the woman who was yelling had stolen their invitations, so they started to quarrel."
"You dare to make such a noise in front of Miss Zhan's engagement party. These people don't take the Zhan family seriously, right?"
"Yes, if this messes up Miss Zhan's engagement party, the consequences will be serious!"
"..."
After listening to Yang Xiaoxiao's provocation and what others were talking about, the waiter felt that the matter must be settled immediately!
