At dinner that day, the old lady's servant came over to deliver the invitation.
"Aunt Hao is going to hold a fundraising dance at the Nanhua Hotel to raise money for the new maternal and infant hospital," the servant said.
An invitation to the gentleman and his wife in the fourth room.
They can take the children or go by themselves.
"Why is she in such limelight?" Du Xiaoqin was a little disdainful, "What does the Maternity and Infant Hospital have to do with her?"
Fourth Master was very fair: "She had studied Western medicine abroad for several years."
Du Xiaoqin: "That was almost thirty years ago."
Fourth Master: "Now those people from the Medical Association still made Aunt Hao the honorary vice president, so she took the lead."
Du Xiaoqin curled her lips.
She asked again: "Shall we go?"
"I have to go. If I don't give her face, I will slap my elder brother in the face." Fourth Master said.
Of course Du Xiaoqin knew.
However, she was a little hesitant, "I don't know what my sister-in-law will think."
Xi Wenlan on the side smiled and said: "Auntie knows that she is still helping Zhang Luo. This is a good thing, and Auntie is also willing to do some good deeds."
Du Xiaoqin said nothing more.
She and Xi Wenlan discussed tomorrow night's dress. Seeing that Yun Qiao remained silent, Du Xiaoqin asked again: "Will you come with us tomorrow night?"
"No." Yun Qiao replied.
Xi Wenlan seemed unable to bear it: "Yun Qiao, come with us. We are all going. Aren't you bored at home alone?"
Yun Qiao: "I mean, I won't go with you. Aunt Hao sent me an invitation alone."
The dinner table was quiet for a moment.
There was unconcealable embarrassment on Xi Wenlan's face.
She sympathized with Yun Qiao, but it was unexpected that Yun Qiao was waiting to show off her connections.
Du Xiaoqin was immediately unhappy: "You didn't tell me earlier!"
"No one asked me." Yun Qiao said, "If I brought it up for no reason, wouldn't I be showing off too much?"
Du Xiaoqin: "..."
Right.
She was indeed in a bad mood and had nothing to say about this matter. Du Xiaoqin would definitely scold her.
The eldest brother Xi Wenqing was a little unhappy when he heard this and didn't understand: "Why did Aunt Hao send you an invitation alone?"
"She flatters me."
"Why should I fawn over you?" Xi Wenqing's tone was unkind and her voice was slightly raised.
Yun Qiao: "The governor and the old lady specially invited me to dinner and gave me a toast."
Everyone in the fourth room: "..."
Xi Wenlan's gentle and quiet eyes turned gloomy for a moment.
Xi Wenqing was furious, with disdain on his face: "You just charmed Uncle Qi, and my grandmother and uncle invited you! Shameless, vixen!"
"Wenqing!" Mr. Xi scolded his son.
This is too much.
"Apologise to your sister." Mr. Xi said solemnly, "You are getting older every day, and you speak uncontrollably!"
"I don't!" Xi Wenqing didn't take it seriously, but still hated Yun Qiao, "She is just shameless!"
Fourth Master Xi's expression changed and he wanted to get angry.
Only then did Xi Wenlan smooth things over and asked Xi Wenqing to apologize to Yun Qiao: "Wenqing, don't make dad angry, you have to be sensible!"
In this way, the apology is to prevent Dad from getting angry, not for Yun Qiao.
Xi Wenlan secretly changed concepts and facts as soon as he opened his mouth. Yun Qiao listened calmly and didn't take it seriously.
"Humph!" Xi Wenqing was stubborn.
Xi Wenlan said to Yun Qiao again: "Yun Qiao, can I apologize to you on behalf of my brother? Don't make everyone unhappy."
Yun Qiao glanced at Xi Wenlan with a quiet look: "What did I say? Why did I make everyone unhappy?"
Fourth Master Xi immediately looked at Xi Wenlan.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the dinner table became even worse.
Yun Qiao simply put down her chopsticks: "You guys eat slowly, I'll go upstairs first."
She left directly.
Xi Wenlan gritted her teeth, tears welling up in her eyes.
When Fourth Master Xi and Du Xiaoqin saw it, they felt very sorry for her.
Du Xiaoqin, in particular, comforted Xi Wenlan: "She doesn't give you face like that because she is ignorant and ignorant. Don't be angry or make yourself angry."
