This kind of worry persisted until the day of the Wang family's banquet.
Wen Qianyue finally heaved a sigh of relief.
The sudden change before had really made her a bit uncomfortable.
Xie Yunxiao felt that he was incredibly powerful now.
Full of confidence, he stood in front of the Wang Mansion and directly stopped Wang Xi, who was coming out to greet the guests.
"What are you doing?" Wang Xi looked puzzled.
"Isn't it that your good brother heard that you've been studying hard these days? I've come specifically to ask you for advice."
Meng Ruxue also came today, and she had invited her boudoir friend, Qin Wan.
Qin Wan was holding Meng Ruxue's hand. "Ruxue, I really haven't been out for a long time. If you hadn't invited me, my father definitely wouldn't have let me out."
The Qin family did some small businesses in Lingzhou and had made a lot of money in recent years, although it couldn't compare...
Meng Ruxue gave a faint smile.
She looked up and saw Wen Qianyue walking up the steps. As if thinking of something, she said considerately, "By the way, Miss Wen, A Xiao and Young Master Wang are good friends. I'm afraid he won't be able to take care of you for a while. If you don't mind, you can stay with me."
Qin Wan tugged at her sleeve. "Ruxue, why do you care about her? Just let her be."
Since this relative of Xie Yunxiao's came, she had always been bullying Ruxue, making her drink such bitter medicine and giving her such painful acupuncture. She had even forced Ruxue to hide in her house.
Although she had the surname Wen, there were so many people with the surname Wen. Who knew how distantly related Wen Qianyue was to the royal family?
There couldn't be so many royal relatives.
"Maybe Young Prince Xie just invited her casually because she was staying in the prince's mansion. Who would have thought she would take it seriously."
She was only able to attend this kind of banquet of a noble family like the Wang family because of Meng Ruxue's favor.
Wen Qianyue didn't even bother to lift her eyelids. She just threw the invitation card in her hand over.
The invitation card landed at Qin Wan's feet. Qin Wan picked it up and took a look.
"What!? It's impossible."
It was understandable that the Wang family had invited the Prince of Huainan, but why was Wen Qianyue's name also on it?
Didn't this mean that the Wang family had actually only invited Xie Yunxiao and Wen Qianyue, and she and Ruxue were just tagged along?
Even Meng Ruxue's face turned pale.
Wen Qianyue didn't care what they thought anymore and went straight in.
She wondered why Xie Yunxiao and Wang Xi had taken a fancy to them.
Wang Xi finally managed to shake off Xie Yunxiao. "Miss Wen, let me show you the way."
Wen Qianyue was a bit surprised.
According to the timeline, shouldn't Wang Xi have been attracted to Qin Wan, who pretended to be gentle?
Why did he suddenly appear here?
Xie Yunxiao also came over. "No need. I'll show her the way."
"After all, this is the Wang Mansion. How can we let a guest show another guest around?" Wang Xi gritted his teeth.
The two of them started to bicker. Wen Qianyue felt like there were two flies buzzing around her.
They said that kids around seven or eight years old were disliked by cats and dogs because they made so much noise all day. It seemed that kids around seventeen or eighteen were no better.
Wen Qianyue didn't expect that she would experience this.
Taking advantage of this moment, Wen Qianyue found a quiet place.
After all, the Wang family was a noble family for many years, and the courtyard was extremely large. When Wen Qianyue walked to the corridor, she saw Meng Ruxue surrounded by people.
"Miss Meng, are you feeling better? I haven't seen you for a long time."
The one who spoke was Wang Xi's stepmother. She only had a daughter. After Wang Xi's elder brother, Wang Heng, inherited the family business, he had treated her quite well.
Meng Ruxue replied, "Much better."
Back then, she had accidentally met...
"Better my foot!" Qin Wan said. "I think you've lost a lot of weight. It must be that Wen Qianyue bullying you."
The stepmother of the Wang family was puzzled. "Wen Qianyue?"
"I don't know where she came from. She just moved into someone else's house without a proper background."
Ruxue had damaged her health when she saved the drowning Xie Yunxiao when she was a child, so she had been living in the Prince of Huainan's mansion.
Xie Yunxiao was deeply in love with Ruxue. If Ruxue hadn't refused, he might have married her already.
Wen Qianyue was listening intently when she was suddenly interrupted by a voice.
"Is that Miss Wen?" Shen Shuyao walked up quickly.
"I've long heard my second younger brother mention you. He said he saw a celestial beauty. I didn't believe it at first, but now that I've seen you, I think it's really true."
Judging from this, she should be Wang Xi's sister - in - law, the mistress of the Wang family.
"Oops, sister - in - law, what are you talking about?" Wang Xi, who had just rushed over, blushed instantly and didn't even dare to raise his head when he heard this.
Wen Qianyue sensed something.
Could this kid like her?
This was simply too absurd.
Wen Qianyue turned her head and saw the complexity and regret in Xie Yunxiao's eyes. How could she not understand?
Everything before seemed to make sense.
Why Xie Yunxiao had suddenly become so motivated and serious.
The gazes of everyone in the venue were instantly attracted to Wen Qianyue.
Meng Ruxue saw that Xie Yunxiao didn't even look at her after he came.
She felt a mixture of emotions in her heart.
Wen Qianyue came back to her senses. Could this banquet have been specially arranged by Wang Xi through Shen Shuyao?
No, her head was starting to hurt now.
How could things have developed like this?
She took a deep breath and tried to keep smiling.
Until the people in the venue no longer paid attention to them, Xie Yunxiao walked up to her.
"You've noticed, haven't you?"
How could she not notice?
What was it like to be liked by someone the same age as one's son?
Wen Qianyue said that she had never been so frustrated...
When she died, Xie Yunhuang and Xie Yunxiao were still young. After all, she hadn't been directly involved in their growth. In fact, she still saw the seventeen - year - old Xie Yunxiao as the same as when he was a child.
Similarly, she regarded Wang Xi as a child.
"Alright, I'll go and sort this out." Wen Qianyue thought it was better to cut the Gordian knot.
Before Xie Yunxiao could react, Wen Qianyue had already pulled Wang Xi away.
Xie Yunxiao was worried, so he followed them.
He happened to witness the whole process.
The two of them had a hearty competition. No, perhaps it was more accurate to say that Wang Xi was being beaten up unilaterally.
Wen Qianyue struck quickly, accurately, and fiercely, leaving Wang Xi with no chance to fight back.
