Chapter 745: Chapter 738: Attending the Birthday Banquet
Sisi was doing these things with Mr. Yun’s knowledge, and he didn’t stop her. He just smiled and said, "You women deal with women, we men deal with men, let’s collaborate on this!"
With the adults not opposing, Sisi and Zhang Jie naturally got even more enthusiastic. Then they thought it’s not all that satisfying to mess with others while they still don’t know why, so Sisi kindly gave a call to Madam Jin, Wan Yun.
"Originally, I didn’t intend to play this way, but since your seventh sister-in-law insists on provoking me, my mood gets sour, and my hands start to itch. When they itch, I like to scribble something. This time, it was a bit rushed, and I didn’t write everything down. I’ll be more detailed next time!"
Wan Yun’s official position is the deputy chairperson of the local Women’s Federation. Although she holds the title of deputy chairperson, she only shows up when there are events throughout the year, and whatever achievements there are, the Women’s Federation includes her name, even though Wan Yun hasn’t put in any effort.
Therefore, among the Jin family’s daughters-in-law who reported the case, Wan Yun was one of them. This tarnished the glow of her charitable reputation and made her mood worse than period cramps.
Sisi’s provocation made her unable to maintain her usual composure. She threw her phone on the ground in anger, and the new phone shattered into pieces. One piece inscribed with the words ’Ai Hua’ landed in front of her, an irony indeed.
Ai Hua is exactly what the He Family is involved in!
Wan Yun hated Sisi’s arrogance, but what she hated more was the stupidity of her sister-in-law. She wasn’t helpful in the slightest but was quite eager to cause trouble.
Heartburned with anger, Wan Yun lost interest in accounting. She stored the account books carefully, opening a hidden door and locking them in a safe.
Because of Sisi’s report, all of the Jin family’s daughters-in-law obediently returned to work, including the instigator, Seventh Mrs. Jin.
Having lived a life of luxury for years, she was not used to the nine-to-five work schedule. After just three days, she was suffering terribly but didn’t dare complain at home, fearing a scolding!
The sisters-in-law all knew it was because she offended He Sisi that they had to endure this hardship, and they haven’t given her a good face at home these days.
Triggered by public anger, the always arrogant Seventh Mrs. Jin had to tone down her arrogance and behave herself, but her hatred for Sisi deepened.
Yet she dared not act recklessly because Wan Yun scolded her awake: Messing with He Sisi like this is pointless. If you’re going to mess with her, make sure it’s a winning strike, leaving He Sisi defenseless!
Seventh Mrs. Jin obeyed her eldest sister-in-law, so she’s been pondering a good plan these past few days, one that could shoot He Sisi down in an instant!
It wasn’t really her idea, though. Someone leaked a bit of information on purpose for her to find out.
On this day, Sisi received another invitation—a birthday party for the Xu family’s matriarch, celebrating her eightieth birthday, inviting Sisi to the banquet three days later.
Sisi was bewildered; she didn’t even know the Xu family, so why would they send her an invitation?
Luckily, Mo Ye called, clarifying her confusion. It turned out the Xu family was where Seventh Mrs. Jin came from, and this Mrs. Jin’s maiden name was Xu Jiaojiao, quite suitably so.
The Xu family was heavily involved in government, mingling with business. Naturally, the Xu family had someone running a company, precisely Xu Jiaojiao’s father. Under the family’s protection, his business thrived.
The Xu family was originally just above third-rate but below second-rate in Capital City. However, since becoming in-laws with the Jin family, the Xu family soared rapidly, almost reaching top-tier new wealth, making Xu Jiaojiao, this golden daughter, quite significant in her maternal family.
He Xuewen also received an invitation. Since he wasn’t in Capital City, as his wife, she would naturally attend on his behalf. The reason she called was also to ask Sisi to accompany her.
Sisi usually received numerous similar invitations but mostly chose not to go. However, this time...
Looking at the gold-lettered invitation, Sisi smirked. This Xu Jiaojiao truly won’t give up!
Inviting a sworn enemy to a banquet without any reason; if there’s no scheme involved, she’d eat her hat.
But Xu Jiaojiao’s intelligence is rather disappointing, isn’t it?
If something happens to her at the banquet, can the Xu family evade responsibility? While the Jin family can’t be touched temporarily, dealing with the Xu family? That can be done in no time!
Truly a troublesome girl!
Just when she was worried about how to deal with the Xu family, Xu Jiaojiao delivered a ladder on her own?
Such an understanding and considerate girl!
The banquet was held at the Xu family’s garden villa. Sisi dressed splendidly, even taking out the emerald jewelry, long gathering dust in her jewelry box, to wear.
No wonder emeralds are called the queen of jewelry. Originally just a fresh and clean style, wearing this luxurious set of emeralds immediately elevated her to several levels above, dazzling and blinding numerous eyes.
Plus, with those sparkling, dreamy, and enchanting crystal shoes on her feet, Sisi immediately caught everyone’s attention as soon as she entered the hall.
Including Seventh Mrs. Jin, Xu Jiaojiao.
Xu Jiaojiao looked at Sisi’s dazzling emerald set with envy, jealousy, and hatred, then looked down at the diamond necklace on her neck, clearly inferior. How could she not feel uncomfortable?
What made her more heartbroken and suffocated was those glaring crystal shoes, constantly reminding her of the embarrassment she faced at the mall that day.
Yet, thinking of the arrangements for later, she felt smug again.
He Sisi, oh He Sisi, today you are going to be in the limelight!
The self-satisfied Xu Jiaojiao never thought if her actions might bring risk to her family. Her mind was entirely focused on teaching He Sisi a lesson.
Mainly because, having grown up in smooth sailing, then married and acting unrestrained, how would she know what should and shouldn’t be done?
Like her mother-in-law and eldest sister-in-law, didn’t they even dare to kill people? She was already the kindest little white rabbit, wasn’t she?
The Xu family’s birthday banquet was quite Western-styled, held as a buffet salon where people gathered in the hall in threes and twos, chatting, making friends, and discussing business in a very harmonious atmosphere.
Wan Yun was also at the banquet, chatting with several wealthy ladies. On seeing Sisi, she raised her wine glass and greeted with a smile.
Sisi raised her glass too, taking a small sip. Isn’t face work something you, Wan Yun, can do?
As soon as the wine entered her mouth, Sisi realized something was off, and she couldn’t help but let out a cold chuckle. She thought Xu Jiaojiao might have some high-level tricks!
Turns out, she only resorts to such cheap means.
Turning to Mo Ye, she said, "Aunt Ye, don’t eat anything at the banquet, and don’t drink the water."
Mo Ye was first taken aback, then she understood her words, raised her brows slightly, and nodded.
Someone came over to greet Mo Ye and invited her to another spot for a chat, saying there were several mutual friends. Mo Ye, worried about Sisi, initially didn’t want to go. However, Sisi signaled her to leave without worries.
Mo Ye knew a bit about Sisi’s skills. After hesitating for a while, she went to chat on the other side.
