Chapter 185: The owner of Chapter 185’s invitation was me
However, since XI jingxing wanted to be a filial grandson, Yan XI had no control over it and did not intend to interfere.
Yan XI said, “Mmm, so if great-aunt wants to go, is there a conflict with me going?”
Xi Jingxing was silent for a moment before he said with difficulty, “Your great-aunt wants Xiangxiang to accompany her. She’s afraid of being bored alone...”
He felt a little guilty for some reason, but on second thought, what was there to feel guilty about! !
If it wasn’t for Yan Xi’s disrespectful words towards XI Lurong and the animosity between the two of them, he wouldn’t have been put in such a difficult position!
Yan Xi was his only daughter, and she was also Yan Qingcheng’s proudest child. A few years ago, when the other party was seriously ill in the hospital, he couldn’t bring her to attend. This year, she had already been discharged from the hospital, and her body still looked healthy. If nothing unexpected happened.., she definitely had to bring her along.
Chen Xiangxiang sat at the side and said softly, “Uncle XI, I don’t have to go...”
Xi Lurong immediately disagreed. “You Child, what nonsense are you talking about? It’s already decided that you’ll go with me! If it’s someone else, then I won’t go.”
Chen Xiangxiang pursed her lips, her face full of guilt and embarrassment.
Over the phone, Yan Xi also noticed that something was wrong.”... Is there someone beside you?”
Xi Luorong’s eyelids drooped, her deep wrinkles were full of mockery, “I knew it. She definitely won’t accept it and forced you not to bring Xiangxiang along, so you can only bring her along! Jing Xing, you can’t be soft-hearted! She’s already chased you out of the house, what right does she have to make such a request to you? “Xiangxiang saved your life not once, but twice! Two lives! “I’d like to see how she has the face to say that!”
Xi Jingxing also felt that Yan Xi would target Chen Xiangxiang. He was stuck in the middle and instantly turned his gaze to Chen Xiangxiang.
Chen Xiangxiang knew very well what Xi Jingxing’s gaze meant.
This person was simply a fence-sitter. If Yan Xi acted coquettishly, he would definitely change his mind.
However, he did not understand. This spring festival gala meant a lot to him. After all, it was a place where celebrities gathered. How could she give up such a good opportunity to enter the upper-class society?
Moreover, the heartthrob system had given her a mission. She needed to shine at the Spring Festival Gala and win everyone’s praise. She would be rewarded with a lot of points.
She pursed her lips. “Great aunt, I really don’t mind. I’ll give this opportunity to sister Yan Yan...”
As she spoke, Xi Lurong took her phone and pressed the speakerphone button.
On the phone, Yan Xi’s voice could be heard clearly.”... So, if you give me my invitation letter and I go alone, it won’t conflict.”
Xi Lurong was stunned for a moment. What did she mean by her invitation letter?
There was only one invitation letter sent to XI Jingxing for the Spring Festival Gala!
“That invitation letter is your father’s!”Xi Lurong was flustered and said harshly, “What nonsense are you talking about? It’s fine if the house is under your name, but now you want to take away your father’s invitation letter. You, you’re simply outrageous!”
Chen Xiangxiang said, “Great-aunt, please don’t be angry...”
Yan XI had already guessed that Xi Lulong and Chen Xiangxiang would be there, but since they were so good at putting the blame on others, she had to speak up.
“Back then, mother helped to set up the Spring Bud Foundation and set up fashion magazines and electronic journals. “Even though she didn’t participate in the foundation’s and magazine’s operations anymore, the foundation promised to always keep the honor of being mother’s lifelong friend. They also sent the invitation to the Xi family every year.”
Yan XI paused. “Father, mother told me that I would be responsible for the matters related to the Spring Bud Foundation. In other words, the owner of that invitation letter is me.”
Xi Jingxing:”...”
He was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a hole to hide in.
His wife did leave such a message, but after Yan Xi fell ill, she didn’t have the chance to attend the Spring Bud Charity Gala at all.
Although XI jingxing had been immersed in grief for a long time because he missed his late wife, he was willing to cheer up and go out again on this day.
Every year at the Spring Festival Charity Gala, he would specially donate a sum of money as a memorial to his late wife, and at the same time, as a blessing for his daughter who was in the hospital.
He was already used to being praised as a great person. He had completely forgotten that this invitation was obtained through his wife’s influence.
Yan Xi did not seem to notice Xi Jingxing’s awkwardness. “Dad, I just want my invitation back. It has nothing to do with you, right?”
Of course, she knew that Xi Jingxing did not have a second invitation. She could not care less about him being a filial son or grandson. She had the right to control him if he was generous with her things.
XI jingxing was tongue-tied and could not say a word.
He was too proud to tell his daughter that his father was incompetent and that he used her invitation letter.
Xi Lulong did not care about this. She only knew that if Yan Xi wanted to leave the invitation letter, none of them would be able to go to the Spring Bud Charity Gala!
How could this be? She had already flaunted it to her group of plastic sisters. She absolutely could not lose face like this!
During the incident at the gold and Silver Pavilion, she had lost all her old face. She had been hiding for two days and did not dare to see anyone. Now that she finally had the chance to hold her head up high, how could she back down!
“What invitation letter? There’s no such thing! Your Father’s life was hanging by a thread not too long ago. Do you even have a conscience?”
After XI Lulong finished speaking, she immediately hung up the phone.
She knew too well that Yan Xi’s mouth was sharp and eloquent. She would not be able to get any benefits from it.
She might as well just die. The other party could not chase her all the way to Autumn Bay!
Even so, Xi Luorong was still furious. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. In the end, she clutched her chest and cried out, “Xiangxiang, help me up!”
Chen Xiangxiang quickly helped her breathe and handed her a bottle of Chinese medicine pills that Chen Xiangxiang had exchanged in the system.
“Great-aunt, please take the medicine and swallow it to calm your mind.”
Xi Lulong felt a little better, and a smile appeared on her face. “Xiangxiang is still the most gentle and considerate.”
Just as she finished speaking, Xi Jingxing’s phone thought about it again. When he saw the caller ID, it was Yan XI calling again.
XI lulong quickly said, “Hang up, don’t answer her calls for the next few days!”
Seeing that Xi Jingxing was hesitating, she simply took the phone and hung up again. At the same time, she blocked Yan Xi’s number. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief.
—
Yan Xi heard the beeping from the other end of the phone. She knew that someone was still shameless and planned to forcefully take her invitation card.
She had only called to remind the other party.
But since they had blocked her, there was no need.
She then dialed another number. “Hello, is this editor-in-chief Liang? Yes, this is Yan Xi...”
—
Xi Jingxing was stunned for a moment.
After a moment, he said hesitantly, “Aunt, Yan Yan doesn’t understand. Please don’t be angry at her.”
Xi Lurong snorted. “I think she won’t be satisfied until I die of anger! She doesn’t have any objections to Xiangxiang. She has objections to the Xi Family!”
XI jingxing sighed as well. If Yan Xi insisted on bullying Chen Xiangxiang, he might really give in.
