Zhang Ming is a reporter friend of Su Manman, and he usually knows Chu Ci and Han Xi. He knew that Shi Yu and Chu Ci were in a relationship, so he immediately reported this matter to Li Manman.
"Is the information reliable? Yesterday, Chu Ci said Shi Yu was on a business trip." Han Xi looked incredulous but felt a bit uneasy inside.
"Whether it’s reliable or not, we’ll know when we go check it out." With these words, Li Manman grabbed the bag from the sofa and headed out, with Han Xi quickly following.
"Let me drive you there." Chen Zheng followed them out, worried that Li Manman’s fiery temper might disrupt the old lady’s birthday party.
As Han Xi jogged, she turned her head: "No need, we can go by ourselves." With those words, the two of them got on the elevator.
Half an hour later, a red sports car pulled up at the Shi Family’s old residence. Li Manman took an invitation out from her bag and went inside with Han Xi.
"How did you get an invitation?" Han Xi asked softly.
"My mom gave it to me at noon today. She originally wanted me to accompany her here, but I didn’t agree."
The banquet was being held in the hall of the Shi Family’s old residence. Those who could attend were prominent figures, and the Golden Splendor hall was bustling, with guests dressed in evening wear.
Looking at their attire, they simply stood out.
Their mother Xu Lan, who was chatting with several ladies, immediately noticed her daughter Li Manman. She smiled broadly, carrying a glass of red wine, and walked over: "At noon, you said you wouldn’t come, so why are you here now with Xiao Xi?"
Han Xi smiled and greeted her: "Hello, Auntie."
"Come, Xiao Xi, I’ll introduce you to some nice young men."
Li Manman pried her mother’s hand off Han Xi’s arm, frowning and speaking seriously: "Mom, can you not complicate things for us? We have plenty of time for introductions, but not now."
"You child, I’m not introducing you to anyone. Why not now? Xiao Xi hasn’t even spoken yet."
Han Xi awkwardly watched the mother and daughter, biting her lip: "Auntie, Manman and I coincidentally have something to attend to today, really sorry."
"Did you hear that? We have serious business to do. You go chat with those ladies, hurry up." Li Manman said with impatience, waving her hand.
Xu Lan poked Li Manman’s shiny forehead with her finger: "You silly girl, is this how you talk to your mom?" Although the words were scolding, her eyes were full of affection.
"Okay, my dear mom, please hurry along."
Han Xi envied this feeling of having a mother. She used to have a mother too and was once this happy, but now everything has turned to rain and smoke.
After Xu Lan left, Li Manman and Han Xi began to look around. Within the crowd, a charming woman was clinging to Shi Yu’s arm, practically sticking to him.
Suddenly, Li Manman felt upset in her heart and was about to rush over angrily but was blocked by Han Xi.
"Xiao Xi, why are you stopping me? Didn’t you see Shi Yu cozying up to another woman?"
Han Xi tried to lower her voice, not wanting to draw attention: "Chu Ci is a celebrity, a public figure. If you make a scene, it won’t benefit Chu Ci at all. Calm down, don’t act impulsively."
"Watching him two-timing right before my eyes is something I can’t do."
