Chapter 1217: Going to the Banquet

Even if they were stupid, they knew that Xia Xibei would not give them the pills.

They regretted neering at Xia Xibei before!

Now they were too embarra.s.sed to ask for anything!

Of course, even if they asked, Xia Xibei wouldn’t give it to them.

Liu Yiqin hung up the phone and said to Xia Xibei. “I’ll take you there tonight. Ling Xiao wants to see you.”

When these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Ling Xiao wanted to see Xia Xibei? She would even let her go over there?

Qiao Zhengyuan frowned, “Isn’t their family having a party tonight? If you let her go over now…”

The Qi family usually held a banquet on New Year’s Day or Lunar New Year, but all those present were from their own people, and it was a family banquet.

It was only in recent years that many outsiders had attended.

Maybe in another few years, they would be invited to attend too.

Right now, that was not the case.

If Liu Yiqin brought Xia Xibei to disturb their banquet, it wouldn’t seem appropriate, right?

“I know, but Ling Xiao asked me to bring Beibei over,” Liu Yiqin nodded. “Ling Xiao wants to see her.”

Besides, Xia Xibei was Ling Xiao’s savior, and this was a chance to repay the favor.

The Qi family had so many businesses, it would be fantastic if they gave Xia Xibei any opportunity at all.

Qiao Haoming’s eyes were going green with jealousy.

He didn’t expect Xia Xibei to save Ling Xiao and now be invited to the Qi family’s banquet!

He had thought about going to this banquet long before. After all, it was of no ordinary significance.

If he could a.s.sociate himself with the ancient martial family, he would have more leverage and capital to deal with Qiao Yanjue.

However, even with all his efforts, he had only climbed up to people who were not important.

Yet, Xia Xibei could go to the Qi family’s banquet!

This made him gnash his teeth in hatred.

“Come, let’s eat first. We have to go over later.”

Liu Yiqin immediately arranged it.

At less than five o’clock, they were sitting at the table and started to have dinner.

The Qi family’s banquet started at 7:30, and it wasn’t far from here to the Qi family home, so they still had time to prepare.

Liu Yiqin’s planning made Xia Xibei a little hesitant.

“But… I didn’t bring any other clothes.”

To go to a party, one couldn’t wear ordinary clothes. It wouldn’t be appropriate.

She did not even think about going to a party before, so naturally she did not prepare the right clothes.

“It’s okay, I’ll take you to buy clothes!” Liu Yiqin immediately said. “I know a lot of stores. It’s okay.”

Since she had already made all kinds of arrangements, Xia Xibei did not refuse.

Moreover, it seemed to be quite good to go to Qi’s house for the banquet.

Qiao Yanjue couldn’t help but hold his forehead when he looked at his mother’s enthusiastic appearance.

This was too amazing!

His mother and Xia Xibei had such an affinity and got along so well, making this situation much easier for him.

Before coming back, Qiao Yanjue had thought a lot about it.

If his mother didn’t like Xia Xibei, he would separate the two.

People rarely live with their parents nowadays, anyway. Living together would increase conflict.

Everyone has their own little family, and after that, it was just a matter of saying h.e.l.lo or having a meal together on New Year’s Eve.

As long as he did a good job as a middleman, there would be no problem.

However, he never thought that things would develop in this way.

Such an unexpected development made Qiao Yanjue quite satisfied. If anything, now he had to worry about his mom having too good a relations.h.i.+p with his girlfriend and ignoring him.

However, in the middle of the meal, he suddenly remembered something.

“Mom, this Ling Xiao you mentioned… Who is her husband?”
