It was envious, Xu Xingchen was too happy, being able to eat six meals a day.
Bai Chuwei was preparing the engagement gift, not lifting her head, and said indifferently, "Go open the door, your dinner has arrived."
Xue Qiu dashed out and opened the door.
He Feng carried the meal boxes and walked in blushing, "Sister Bai, these are dinners prepared by my family’s chefs, please try and see if they’re delicious."
A hint of a satisfied smile flashed in Bai Chuwei’s eyes, indeed worthy of being a He Family descendant, showing filial respect to the elder was practically a reflex.
Seeing her take the boxes without hesitation, He Feng’s cheeks reddened further, he scratched his black short hair and said, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll head back now..."
Bai Chuwei called to him, "Wait."
Bai Chuwei gently twisted her neck, leisurely took out a letter paper, wrote a few words on it, put it in an envelope, and handed it to He Feng, "Help me take this to your grandmother and sister."
He Feng was stunned, huh?
She actually wanted him to deliver a letter to his family!
Saying Bai Chuwei wasn’t special to him, who would believe that?
He’s really going to date!
He Feng was so excited that his blood boiled all over, tightly holding the envelope and nodding continuously.
That night, the letter appeared in the hands of He Family head He Sulan, with her granddaughter He Nana sitting beside her.
He Sulan, wearing reading glasses, held the letter with trembling hands, happily said, "Nana, the ancestor has clearly stated she will attend your engagement banquet and act as your witness."
He Nana excitedly hugged a pillow, almost shouting out.
Having the ancestor as a witness, it would surely make Rong He and Qi Mo envious to death!
Usually, for the weddings of the eight great families, the ancestor only attended when she felt like it; the ancestor had not attended a descendant’s wedding banquet for a hundred years.
It’s giving her much face.
But the last sentence beneath the envelope surprised them, "Additionally, send an invitation to Xu Xingchen from the archaeology team, inviting him and his girlfriend to the engagement banquet. Send it later."
Although they did not understand the ancestor’s intentions, it did not stop them from sending an invitation to Xu Xingchen.
Following the ancestor’s instructions, He Nana personally wrote the invitation, and specifically told the butler to deliver it to the archaeology team a few hours before the engagement banquet.
Since Xu Xingchen had gained weight, in order to attend the He Zhou engagement banquet with a good image, he claimed to be sick and went to the mall half a day early to choose a well-fitted suit; looking sharp and handsome wearing it.
Looking at himself in the mirror with the suit on, Xu Xingchen couldn’t help but recall the time he wore a suit to attend Master Duan’s recovery banquet but was set up by Bai Chuwei; he shivered involuntarily, feeling an ominous premonition.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Liao Jinjin, and steadied his mind.
Liao Jinjin was the daughter of Elder Liao in the Dark Night Domain, even if his nominal fourth uncle came, he would have to give face to Liao Jinjin.
They shared a smile and went hand in hand to the He Zhou engagement banquet.
Bai Chuwei stuffed Xue Qiu in her pocket, leisurely walked out of the archaeological site, preparing to attend the engagement banquet.
The surrounding interns looked on enviously, they were working themselves to death, seeing junior Xu Xingchen already sick from exhaustion, couldn’t hold on today and took sick leave.
Bai Chuwei, also an intern, gave herself leave to go out, and a group of experts simply didn’t care! ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novelꞁire.net
Just like that, Bai Chuwei could still win the National Archaeology Award.
People really can’t be compared.
At that moment, a delicate figure approached Bai Chuwei, Bai Chuwei’s face broke into a smile, opened her mouth, "Tong..."
Tong Qingyan seemed as though she hadn’t heard, totally ignored Bai Chuwei, didn’t pause for even a second, walked past Bai Chuwei, and left briskly.
Bai Chuwei turned to look at Tong Qingyan’s figure, couldn’t help but sigh.
Tsk— the ancestor was kindly trying to do a good deed, telling her not to go because she’d be cheated on.
She actually ran away?
"Forget it, I’ll find Hanhan." With keen interest, Bai Chuwei leisurely walked out, seeing the tall black figure outside Yinhua High School, her lips curved slightly.
Meanwhile, Tong Qingyan hastily walked toward the dormitory, she secretly added Senior Zhou Nan on WeChat, Senior Zhou Nan said that Xu Xingchen took sick leave, she immediately got anxious and quickly came to check the dormitory.
No matter how she knocked, there was no response, Tong Qingyan became more worried, Xu Xingchen wouldn’t be muddled from fever, would he?
In an instant, regret surged in Tong Qingyan’s heart, Xingchen was really too busy, with both archaeology and making time to see her, no wonder he fell ill.
"Junior, don’t worry too much, I got the dormitory key." Zhou Nan ran upstairs out of breath, holding a backup key.
Tong Qingyan immediately opened the door and went in, suddenly froze.
The single bed in the dormitory had its quilt neatly folded, without any trace of a person.
Tong Qingyan felt puzzled, her eyes fell on the nearby desk, exclaimed, "What’s this?"
Tong Qingyan’s curiosity was piqued, she opened the invitation letter, "Sincerely inviting Mr. Xu Xingchen and his girlfriend to attend the engagement banquet of He Zhou..."
Tong Qingyan immediately understood, taking sick leave to attend the engagement banquet. This was precisely what Xu Xingchen would do.
After all, the engagement banquet of the He Family in Zhongzhou had prestigious guests, mingling with them would build connections.
Wasn’t she still here?
A woman’s sixth sense made Tong Qingyan’s face suddenly pale, she recently felt that Xu Xingchen was acting strange.
