Chapter 825: Frightened
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Hello, Old Madam Jun.” Shi Xi held the bowl in her hand and felt anxious. However, since she had met an elder, she could only greet her politely.
“Oh right, have you seen Tao Tao?” Father Tao asked casually. “I’ve been looking for her for a long time, but she didn’t pick up her call.”
“This…” Shi Xi said awkwardly.
She couldn’t possibly say that Tao Yuxuan was drunk and lying in her room in front of Old Madam Jun, right?
Just as Shi Xi was thinking about how to make things right, she heard the servant beside her speak.
“I just saw that the Young Miss went upstairs to rest.”
Shi Xi:
You saw Tao Yuxuan go upstairs to rest, so you should know that she was drunk!
If you’re so stupid, don’t force yourself!
“There’s no reason for her to rest when a guest is here.” Father Tao frowned. “Go, call her down!”
The servant was about to go upstairs when Shi Xi hurriedly called out to him.
“It just so happens that I’m going up. I’ll go call Tao Tao. Old Master Jun, please sit down for a while.”
At this moment, Lu Wancheng suddenly said, “I saw Miss Tao drink a lot just now.”
“Sister Shi Xi, are you going to deliver the hangover soup?”
Everyone fell silent and looked at Lu Wancheng.
“Who is this?”
“I don’t know her. Which family is she from?”
“What did she do?”
Listening to the whispers and pointing, Lu Wancheng’s legs and stomach trembled, but she still forced a smile on her face.
“What does it have to do with you?” Shi Xi looked over and said indifferently.
Lu Wancheng had already spoken her first sentence, but she had already calmed down. She said, “Of course I’m concerned about Miss Tao.”
Concerned?
Shi Xi felt disdain in her heart.
If she really cared about Tao Yuxuan, she wouldn’t have stood out and said such words, causing Tao Yuxuan to lose face in front of others.
Old Madam Jun frowned. “Lead the way. I’ll go up and take a look.”
Old Madam Jun paid the most attention to the rules and image of the family.
If she knew that her future granddaughter-in-law was drunk at the banquet…
Shi Xi felt that the bowl of hangover soup in her hand was scalding.
Father Tao gave Shi Xi a look, signaling her to hurry up. Then, he said to Old Madam Jun, “Aunt Jun, all the kids nowadays drink alcohol. Tao Tao can’t drink. She’ll feel uncomfortable after one glass. Please wait downstairs for a while. I’ll get Tao Tao to come down now.”
“Since she’s not feeling well, then I have to go and take a look,” Old Madam Jun insisted.
Father Tao regretted it. ‘I shouldn’t have asked!’
Shi Xi carried her bowl and could only lead the way.
Oh my god.
Old Madam Jun’s aura was very strong.
However, Tao Yuxuan only gulped down the wine.
Old Madam Jun wouldn’t break off the engagement on the spot, right?
The corners of Shi Xi’s mouth twitched slightly. She slowed down her pace and frantically thought of a countermeasure.
Tao Yuxuan didn’t seem like she wanted to get married.
But that didn’t mean that she really wanted to tear apart their love line!
Shi Xi stopped brainstorming when she reached Tao Yuxuan’s door.
Sorry, she really couldn’t think of any way to ask the old lady to leave.
Just as Shi Xi was about to knock on the door, she thought of something else.
Shi Xu was f*cking still inside!
A man and a woman, alone in a room.
Shi Xi believed in Shi Xu’s character, but Old Madam Jun might not!
“Sister Shi Xi is holding a bowl. It’s not appropriate to knock on the door, right? I’ll knock.” Lu Wancheng squeezed in from behind and said that she was knocking on the door, but she pressed her hand on the doorknob, pushed the door open, and entered.
Shi Xi: ?!
Lu Wancheng looked inside and seemed to be looking for something.
However, Tao Yuxuan was the only one sleeping on the bed in the bedroom.
“Thank you for opening the door for me.” Shi Xi pushed Lu Wancheng away and walked into Tao Yuxuan’s bedroom without looking sideways. She quietly heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Shi Xu was not in the bedroom..
