That person

Kill her. Or him?

Xue Xi was a little lost. Just as she was planning to continue listening to some useful information, she was pushed out of her dream by Xiang Huai again.

He actually woke up again.

What was wrong with this person? Why did he wake up so frequently after sleeping at night?

Xue Xi lay on the bed and pouted. She thought for a while but could not figure out who the person in the school was and why Xiang Huai had to kill the other party. Perhaps that person was some evil villain?

Since she could not figure it out, she decided not to think about it anymore.

Xue Xi closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.

It was a dreamless night.

Next, the small party spent the new year at the Xue familys house and prepared for Xue Xis birthday party.

The Xue family would prepare a birthday party for Xue Yao every year. Last year, because of the college entrance examination, Xue Xi had also rejected having one. Hence, she had finally agreed this year. Xue Sheng wanted to hold a grand banquet to celebrate the first 18 years of her birthday.

Hence, he invited almost all of his friends in Bin City. Not only that, but he also invited Ye Lis friends and even Song Wenmans and Ye Lais students.

Those whom he could think of were basically invited.

Xue Xi spared no effort and directly invited her form teacher, Old Liu, who would also contact her classmates. Anyway, everyone would be back during the new year. Those who were willing to come could come and play for a day.

At least a hundred invitations had been sent out.

The day before the banquet, the people at the old residence were urged by Old Master Xue to come over and help. Old Master Xue had always wanted to maintain the relationship between the two families and wanted Xue Sheng to take care of Xue Gui on account of their brotherhood.

Liu Yiqiu came over unwillingly. In the past, she was the one who looked down on Ye Li at home. Her parents were poor university professors. They had no money and no status, but she was born into a wealthy family. She was the wife that the Matriarch had found and repeatedly asked for.

She did not expect to be reduced to helping Ye Li one day.

Although Liu Yiqiu knew that she could not fall out with Ye Li, she still felt a little emotional.

When she reached Xue Xis house, she happened to see Ye Li sitting on the sofa and texting. She leaned forward and glanced at her phone.

Ye Li frowned and exited WeChat, closing the message.

Liu Yiqiu didnt see what was sent, but she saw the name of the correspondent: Lin Jing.

Lin Jing This name was too familiar. Wasnt this

Liu Yiqiu was stunned. Sister-in-law, you cant be chatting the Lin Jing that everyone knows, right?

Ye Li:

She was a little annoyed. She felt that Liu Yiqiu was being disrespectful by looking at her phone without her consent. Hence, she casually said, Why are you here?

She changed the topic. Liu Yiqiu curled her lips and rolled her eyes, but she did not say anything else.

There was actually nothing to be busy with at home. They handed everything over to the housekeepers and the two sat there for a while. Liu Yiqiu symbolically expressed that she would leave in less than an hour.

Ye Li heaved a sigh of relief when she did leave.

However, that night, Xue Sheng received a call. Old Xue, your wife is bragging too much this time!

Xue Sheng was stunned. Whats wrong?

That person said, There are rumors going around outside that Lin Jing will come to your daughters birthday party. I asked around and it seems like its a rumor your family started. Will Lin Jing really come?

Xue Sheng shook his head. No, she shouldnt be coming.

The couple was so busy, how could they possibly come to Bin City? Tonight, on the news, Xiang Mingzhi was seen to be currently in some poor mountain area!

Hed even discussed it with Ye Li and they did not send the two of them an invitation, lest they could not turn it down. That would only make things difficult for them.

However, the moment Xue Sheng said this, that person said, I knew it was fake, but the problem is that the entire Bin City circle knows that Lin Jing is coming! If she doesnt come, wont your family lose face?!

Xue Sheng: !

He was on speaker mode, so Ye Li heard those words.

Ye Li was so angry that her face turned red. It must be Liu Yiqiu. Shes too much! Why is she spreading rumors outside? I know. She must be trying to embarrass us! I dont understand. If were embarrassed, theyre also members of the Xue family. Isnt it embarrassing for them too?!

Xue Sheng was also a little angry.

It was already nighttime. If he were to send Lin Jing an invitation now, she would only have one day to prepare. It would definitely be too late!

Besides, they couldnt invite Lin Jing here just to give the Xue family some face. It would be too embarrassing if word got out.

Xue Sheng frowned. If theres nothing else, dont spout nonsense.

After hanging up, he said to Ye Li, We cant trouble Lin Jing.

The two of them had thought of the same thing.

Ye Lis thin body was trembling a little. She held the table in anger and her eyes were red. At most, Ill just be ridiculed. Im fine. Anyway, Ive been ridiculed all these years. I just feel that Xixi has been wronged! This is Xixis birthday party, but there will be all this unhappiness.

Xue Sheng sighed quietly and patted Ye Lis shoulder. Xixi wont care about this.

Ye Li nodded. Of course, I know. Xixi is a good child, but I just feel that this banquet will not be perfect because of these lousy matters.

Xue Shengs gaze turned colder. We wont be coming back for New Year next year.

Ye Li continued to nod.

Xue Sheng sighed. This time, its been hard on Xixi, but its enough for us to have a lively celebration. Xixi wont care about what those people think. Its only a small matter, so forget it. Xiao Xiang said that he wants to give Xixi a surprise after the birthday banquet, so he asked me to allow him to bring her out for the night. I originally didnt agree, but now, Ill let them go. Xiao Xiangs performance has been alright recently. He didnt covet our daughters beauty, so Ill trust him this once.

After saying that, he couldnt help but mutter, Honey, you said that our daughter is so pretty. Xiao Xiang is sleeping right beside our daughters room. He didnt even come to disturb her in the middle of the night. Is Xiao Xiang okay?

Ye Li: ?

Xiang Huai, who was a little far away, still heard their conversation.

He held himself back. Wasnt it because he wanted his father-in-law to agree to let him bring Xixi out on the night of her birthday?! He didnt expect that his ability would be doubted.

He was simply too difficult!

Fortunately, his father-in-law had been deceived by him.

At this thought, Xiang Huai shot another glance at Xue Xi, causing her to feel her back burn. When she turned around, she realized that Xiang Huai was no longer there and had entered the room.

At this moment, Xiang Huai was sending a message to Lin Jing: Mom, where are you?

Lin Jing: In Bin City, son! Ill definitely support Xixi tomorrow!
