"Grandma, what are you saying?"
"Grandma, you should ask my dad this question." Little Mobao spoke out from behind them. "Should I mention it to my dad?"
"Little Mobao!" Li Xingwan immediately turned to him. "Don’t you dare mention this to Mr. Fu, you hear?"
Where does this come from? Already bringing it up?
Little Mobao chuckled quietly.
The three of them soon arrived at the venue of the banquet.
People outside were gossiping.
"I heard this Miss Li is quite impressive. She just entered the entertainment industry not long ago and already took down an award-winning actress. She even starred in Chen Ming’s drama."
"If she weren’t impressive, how could she manage to make the entire Fu Family respect her? Especially Little Mobao, he’s so different from before."
"The fact that the old lady is bringing her out this time is probably to affirm her status to the public, right?"
Hearing the phrase "different from before," Li Xingwan felt a bit uneasy. It was indeed different from before. The original owner really let Little Mobao loose.
And it wasn’t a secret within the circle.
Now, he’s become precious to her.
"We need to be careful with our words later. She might not be easy to deal with."
"Come on, Little Mobao." Li Xingwan extended her hand to Little Mobao. The two held hands and went inside.
Those who didn’t know might think they were very close siblings.
Upon seeing her, everyone blinked in astonishment. Li Xingwan’s beauty was indeed well-deserved.
People along the way greeted her one after another, their attitudes changed from their previous discussions.
"Hello, everyone." Li Xingwan responded politely to each of them.
"Mrs. Fu, are you bringing your granddaughter-in-law out to meet people?" someone laughed. "This is the first time, isn’t it?"
Mrs. Fu glanced at them. "Yes, the first time. It’s to stop the outside world from gossiping too much about my granddaughter-in-law."
"Haha!" Li Xingwan and Little Mobao couldn’t help but giggle.
But they also felt grateful. Despite the outrageous rumors outside, Fu Chengzhou and the old lady only believed what they saw for themselves.
None of them believed in those outside "rumors."
Just as the three were about to enter, the old lady was immediately drawn away by several wealthy old ladies she often played cards with.
Leaving Li Xingwan and Little Mobao standing in the hall.
"You really believed her, huh? Didn’t we tell you a lot about her before?"
"Exactly, how could you be so blind and still not see the truth?"
"Let me tell you, even our daughters-in-law have heard about this."
"I get the feeling you guys don’t want me to be happy, huh?"
The faces of the others froze. "Wait, wait, let me go test her a bit."
"Yes, my daughter-in-law has played cards with your granddaughter-in-law plenty of times!"
Saying that, they walked toward Li Xingwan.
"Hey! You guys!" Mrs. Fu didn’t even have time to stop them.
"Miss Li, I heard something and wanted to ask you about it, if that’s okay?" the person spoke with a smile on her face.
Seeing the smile on the other’s face, Li Xingwan returned a smile. "Of course, ask away."
"So, tell me, is what I heard true?" The elderly person began. "I heard that once you went to play cards with my daughter and others, you deliberately left Little Mobao outside? You all seemed to be having a lot of fun?"
With those words, almost everyone turned their gaze towards Li Xingwan.
