Chapter 79: Chapter 79: I Won’t Trouble You
He Jie shook his head, "I’m not too sure either, why don’t I make a call and ask..."
Qin’s mother nodded.
He Jie took out his phone from the bag and called Xu Fenglian, only mentioning that she would be going to the Zhen Family that day and wanted to ask if Grandma would be going too...
After getting the answer from Xu Fenglian, He Jie chatted for a few more minutes and then hung up the phone, "Mom, my grandma said she would be going that day too..."
Qin’s mother nodded, "At that time, I will go and have a chat with Aunt, you all just act as if nothing happened.
Xiao Jie, don’t mention the matter with Xiao Li, not even to your family."
He Jie nodded, "I understand, Mom."
In the study, Qin Tan had also finished understanding the situation, compared to the light-hearted atmosphere outside, the atmosphere among the men was not so relaxed.
After Qin Tan learned that Qin Xiao was going to take action against the Wen family, he quickly ran through the industry’s most vulnerable to Qin Family’s attack in his mind...
After thinking for a while, Qin Tan picked up his phone and called his assistant. It was all about some company arrangements.
When Qin Tan hung up the phone, Qin Xiao spoke up, "Brother, sorry for bothering you with this."
Hearing this, Qin Tan patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder, "No need to say that between brothers, if it were your sister-in-law having troubles this time, you wouldn’t just sit by either!
Whatever you want to do, just go ahead and do it, just let me know in advance, so I can assist you.
Let those people see that we Qin Family are not so easily bullied."
Qin Xiao raised his hand and clasped Qin Tan’s, all the words were spoken in that grip.
Having reached an understanding with Qin Tan, Qin Xiao called Master Feng and told them they could start taking action.
Two days later, it was Zhen Old Madam’s seventy-ninth birthday. Because of the longstanding belief that birthdays ending in nine are inauspicious, this seventy-ninth birthday had to be celebrated grandly, so the Zhen Family held a banquet.
Since Qin’s mother married out, she took He Jie and Xiao Li back to the Zhen Family early. Because today was the birthday banquet, a lot of people came and went, and it wouldn’t look good for Xiao Li to appear with her hand in a sling.
So before going to the Zhen Family, Xiao Li took off the sling from her hand. Qin Xiao initially disagreed, but couldn’t resist her persistent persuasion, and finally agreed.
But he still gave her careful instructions, telling her to be careful with her hand, and to avoid any large movements.
Xiao Li promised over and over again, and only then was it settled.
This time, the Zhen Family’s banquet wasn’t like the last time with only close relatives invited; this time, they invited anyone who could be ranked, so there were a lot of people.
Due to Xiao Li’s injured hand, Qin’s mother was worried about her and kept her by her side the whole time they were at the Zhen Family.
As a result, someone made sour remarks to He Jie because of this...
He Jie was chatting well with a few ladies, but then saw the second Young Madam of the Hai Family, Chen Xiaoxiao, walking over with a glass of champagne...
She came over and smiled provokingly, "He Jie, you are really busy!
Both are Young Madams of the Qin Family, your sister-in-law can be taken everywhere by Madam Qin, but why do you have to put in the effort to socialize here all by yourself?"
Chen Xiaoxiao is Chen Tingting’s sister, she always knew about Chen Tingting’s admiration for Qin Xiao, she used to think that Chen Tingting could marry into the Qin Family...
But unexpectedly, a rival appeared midway, disrupting their years of assumptions.
Hearing this, He Jie smirked, "So in your mind, Chen Xiaoxiao, chatting with everyone and having drinks is a laborious and tiring task. I never knew you disliked socializing with us so much.
Now that I know, I certainly won’t come to chat with you again, nor will I let you put in the effort."
As soon as He Jie finished speaking, the expressions of the few ladies standing next to He Jie towards Chen Xiaoxiao changed.
Chen Xiaoxiao, upon hearing He Jie’s words, realized her foolishness and knew she had offended people.
Chen Xiaoxiao quickly forced a smile and started to explain, "He Jie, you misunderstood, that’s not what I meant..."
Unfortunately, her previous words were heard by everyone present, and no amount of explanation could change that. After all, those who stood with He Jie were naturally on good terms with her, and naturally wouldn’t help Chen Xiaoxiao.
One of the ladies standing beside He Jie spoke up with a smile, "The last time I came, I saw that the Zhen Family’s garden was quite nice. Let’s go there and chat while enjoying the view! Let’s not tire others here..."
As soon as she finished speaking, the group of people directly headed to the garden with their drinks, leaving Chen Xiaoxiao standing awkwardly alone.
Some people chatting in twos and threes nearby noticed the confrontation here, but no one stepped forward to inquire, only glancing over from a distance...
In Zhen Old Madam’s room, Xu Fenglian had been staying in Wen Old Madam’s room since she arrived. They were both elderly and couldn’t keep up with the younger crowd outside.
These old friends just needed to sit and chat indoors, even the birthday star, Zhen Old Madam, only needed to make a brief appearance outside once the guests arrived.
Qin’s mother, having come today, didn’t stay outside much either, since the sisters-in-law were there to entertain. She preferred to spend time with her mother.
Xiao Li was also brought by Qin’s mother to stay in the room. Qin’s mother first chatted with the two elderly ladies for a while, then casually brought up, "Xiao Li, how’s your hand? Is it uncomfortable?"
Zhen Old Madam also expressed her concern, "Xiao Li, does your hand hurt? If it hurts, have Ah Xiao take you back."
Xiao Li shook her head, "Grandma, Mom, I’m fine, it doesn’t hurt."
Xu Fenglian, hearing what Zhen Old Madam and Qin’s mother said, looked at Xiao Li but didn’t notice anything abnormal, and asked, "What’s wrong with the child’s hand?"
Qin’s mother smiled and said, "A few days ago, Ah Xiao and the couple had a minor car accident. The child’s right shoulder got dislocated, and it was previously stabilized with a bandage.
She said it didn’t look good to have her hand in a sling for the banquet today, so she took off the bandage and came like this.
Her hand was just injured a few days ago, and I’m afraid she can’t bear it."
Xu Fenglian, upon hearing this, understood and said to Xiao Li, "Child, you must be careful, as the saying goes, ’The bones take a hundred days to heal.’ You must be careful with an injury to the bone...
If it becomes too much, take a rest..."
Zhen Old Madam also chimed in, "Yes, there’s no outsider here, don’t feel constrained. If you’re tired, go rest, and if you can’t handle it, let Ah Xiao take you back...
You shouldn’t have taken off the bandage this morning. Coming to Grandma’s house, what’s the harm in having your hand in a sling?
After all, you’re a doctor yourself, if your patient was as disobedient as you, what would you do?"
Xiao Li smiled, "Grandma, Madam Wen, I’m alright.
It’s been a few days since recovery, it doesn’t hurt that much anymore, as long as I don’t move it much, it’s fine. You don’t need to worry."
Xu Fenglian watched Xiao Li’s smiling face for a moment and said, "Your smile is more and more like that person."
