Chapter 1725 - 1725 Xu Zhiqin Is Unkind

1725 Xu Zhiqin Is Unkind

If she was a woman who easily offended others and could not help her husband at all, she definitely wasn’t suited to be with her grandson.

After hearing Su Bei’s words this morning, Old Madam He, who had changed her opinion of Xu Zhiqin, gave up on accepting her.

“Su Bei, you must be tired after shopping for so long. Go upstairs and rest first,” Old Madam He said gently.

Su Bei nodded and went up obediently.

After Su Bei left, Old Madam He smiled and said, “Your Sister s.h.i.+hui said that she wants to have dinner together tonight. She wants to welcome Su Bei and is treating it as our family’s banquet. Come tonight.”

“But that’s a family banquet. Is it appropriate for me to join?” Wei Yuxin was overjoyed, but she still looked like she was being considerate toward the He family.

“It’s fine as long as I say so,” Old Madam He said. “Just come.”

“Actually, I have a good relations.h.i.+p with the He family. It’s fine for me to come for a meal, but I’m just afraid that Zhiqin will be angry. I can tell that Xuyan cares about her.”

Old Madam He said, “Just come. I have my own arrangements.”

Wei Yuxin immediately nodded. She knew that although her plans today were a little risky, she had done the right thing.

He s.h.i.+hui would definitely look for the sales a.s.sistant to verify what had happened. However, the scene was so chaotic at that time, and there were all kinds of words that were said. How could He s.h.i.+hui completely restore the truth?

In the end, everyone would still blame Xu Zhiqin for her insensibility.

…

When Xu Zhiqin returned to He Xuyan’s villa, she did not mention what had happened in the mall.

“You shopped with Su Bei? What did you buy?” He Xuyan saw that her expression was normal and thought that she had just gone shopping with Su Bei.

“I bought a lot of trinkets. Take a look.” Xu Zhiqin took them out for him to see.

He Xuyan laughed. Only she and Su Bei would buy these things when they shopped.

Seeing that she was not affected by his grandparents’ matters, He Xuyan knew that she was actually suppressing her emotions.

He said softly, “Dad and Mom will be back in two days. We’ll have dinner with the entire family then.”

Xu Zhiqin nodded. Thinking of Lin Xiruo, who had treated her well, a smile appeared on her face.

In the afternoon, He Xuyan received a call from Old Master He asking him to go to the company.

Every time he came back, the old man would think of a way to let him handle some official matters and familiarize himself with the company’s matters. This was already the norm.

The elders couldn’t wait for him to give up his career as a director and come home to accept the family business.

He said to Xu Zhiqin, “I’m going to the company. I’ll call you later and have dinner with you.”

“Okay.”

…

He s.h.i.+hui was the one who arranged the family banquet.

Firstly, she was the one helping Old Master He deal with the family business now. She seemed to be the person in charge.

Secondly, Su Bei had just returned, so she naturally had to welcome her.

The family banquet was held in a famous family banquet hall nearby. This decision was made to honor S Country’s practice.

He Jiang and Lin Xiruo were also picked up by He s.h.i.+hui.

When they heard that Xu Zhiqin and Su Bei had both arrived in the United States, their faces were full of smiles.

He Jiang stood tall and elegant, while Lin Xiruo was gentle and generous. She was in a good mood now and had recovered well. She looked even younger.

“Uncle, Aunt.” He s.h.i.+hui went forward to welcome them. “Grandma is here. Please come in.”

Wei Yuxin also came forward to greet them. “Uncle, Aunt.”

Lin Xiruo’s expression changed slightly.

Wasn’t this a family banquet? What was Wei Yuxin doing here?

He s.h.i.+hui seemed to have noticed Lin Xiruo’s coldness and explained, “It’s been hard on Yuxin to accompany Su Bei and Zhiqin shopping today, so I asked her to stay for dinner. Uncle and Aunt, you won’t mind, right?”

Lin Xiruo smiled. “Of course not. Let’s just treat it as a gathering with friends. It’s lively with more people around.”

Wei Yuxin smiled and said, “Thank you, Aunt. Please take a seat.”

When Old Madam He saw her son and daughter-in-law, she smiled and said, “Su Bei and Xuyan will be here soon.”

“Where’s Zhiqin?” Lin Xiruo keenly sensed that no one had mentioned Xu Zhiqin’s name.

“Zhiqin… might not be coming today,” He s.h.i.+hui said calmly. “Something happened in the mall during the day.”

“What happened?”

He s.h.i.+hui told her what had happened. She had naturally gone to ask about the specifics.

The sales a.s.sistants had also come up with their own excuses.

In the end, He s.h.i.+hui couldn’t fully figure out the details of what had happened.

She said, “Zhiqin probably feels guilty, so she chose not to join the family banquet tonight. Actually, I don’t mind.”

After hearing this, Lin Xiruo smiled faintly and said, “I see. Since Zhiqin isn’t coming, I wonder if Xuyan is coming too?”

“Of course, Xuyan has to come.” He s.h.i.+hui smiled. “This is a family banquet arranged for Su Bei. As her elder brother, it’s indeed a little unreasonable for him not to come.”

Xu Zhiqin wasn’t coming, but He Xuyan was? Lin Xiruo knew that they clearly didn’t know He Xuyan well enough.

She asked calmly, “I heard that my son stayed outside last night? He didn’t stay in the He family’s mansion?”

Now, the person in charge of He Consortium was still He Jiang. Lin Xiruo had not been in charge for many years as she was focused on finding her daughter, so He Jiang was a little lax when he managed the company.

This gave He s.h.i.+hui a chance to help Old Master He.

However, Lin Xiruo was from the Lin family, after all. She had quite an imposing aura.

In the early years, she didn’t show it. Thus, everyone thought less of her and forgot that she still had such an aura.

Now that she said this, even Old Madam He couldn’t help but tremble.

He s.h.i.+hui naturally had to speak up for her grandmother. She smiled and said, “Aunt, it’s not that Xuyan wanted to stay outside. Grandma just feels that since it’s Zhiqin’s first time here, it won’t be easy for the He family to answer to the Xu family if she stays in our family home with us. I heard that S Country is very strict with these rules, so we got the butler to arrange a hotel for Zhiqin to stay in. Xuyan just felt that it wasn’t safe for Zhiqin to stay outside, so he chose to accompany Zhiqin.

“Actually, Grandma also said that as long as Zhiqin was willing, she could stay anywhere she wanted. It was Zhiqin who insisted on not staying in the He family’s mansion.”

Her words pushed all the blame on Xu Zhiqin.

It seemed that everyone else was reasonable except for Xu Zhiqin.

Lin Xiruo smiled faintly and said, “It’s also a good thing that Zhiqin knows the rules. I think my daughter-in-law should be someone who knows the rules. I like her.”

Seeing that Lin Xiruo didn’t mind and thought that Xu Zhiqin was not bad, Wei Yuxin couldn’t hold it in anymore.
