"Ms . Chu, that is so nice and thoughtful of you . But I fear my sister won't be gracious enough to accept Ms . Chu's kindness . "
"Why not?" Tianxin said with a frown . If Xinghe didn't come, her plan would fail .
Wushuang lowered her voice and said with much difficulty, "Ms . Chu, there should be no secrets between friends so please don't look down on my family if I tell you this . My sister… hasn't been her best self for the past few years, this kind of setting is not suitable for her . She knows she'll be a laughing stock if she accepts the invitation so she probably won't come . "
Tianxin of course knew how bad Xinghe's current situation was .
Naturally, she didn't say that but sighed regrettably . "But it's not like we invited her because we want her to be made fun of . As you know, Lin Lin hasn't seen his mom for many years…"
"Ms . Chu, I understand and appreciate your kindness, in fact you're the kindest person I've ever known, but I don't think Xia Xinghe would have the face to attend this party . "
"But Mubai told me she promised she would be here . "
Advertisement"Really?"
"Really . " Tianxin punctuated with a forceful nod .
Wushuang suppressed her mounting urge to laugh .
Xia Xinghe agreed to come‽ She must have gotten a hole through her head .
Well, you know what they say, hussies and sl*ts have to be thick-skinned to survive .
These thoughts cropped up in her mind as happiness and anticipation rose up in her heart .
"Ms . Chu, I know my sister's personality . If she said she will come, I believe she will . It's just that I'm afraid she'll only be there when the party's almost over…" Wushuang couldn't finish the sentence because she burst out laughing . Tianxin did the same!
Even the frequency of their laughs was similar .
After their laughs subsided, both ladies took a look at one another and they found a strange yet familiar resonance in each other's eyes .
What they saw and recognized was hatred for the b*tch, Xia Xinghe .
Tianxin tried her best to collect herself and said in a calm voice, "It will be too bad if that's the case . Xi Lin will be so disappointed…"
"I'm sure he will be . For his sake, I wish she could arrive right at this moment," Wushuang concurred .
They kept mentioning Xi Lin but of course neither of them cared about the boy . It was for their own sake that they wished Xinghe would be there .
So, Xia Xinghe, you have to come… as soon as possible .
Or else they would be utterly disappointed and deflated .
The two vipers incarnate found more similarities between each other as the conversation continued . Finally, Tianxin found herself comfortable enough in Wushuang's company that she dropped her charade .
She said openly, "Wushuang, why don't you help me go and see whether that woman has arrived, call me if and when she does . "
"No problem . " Wushuang parted with a knowing smile .
Tianxin started laughing as Old Mrs . Xi walked over . She asked, "Tianxin, what are you doing laughing to yourself?"
"Auntie!" Tianxin's smile turned brighter as she pulled the older woman intimately in for a hug . She explained, "It's nothing, I just feel very happy today . "
Old Mrs . Xi laughed and said jokingly, "Very happy thinking about your imminent wedding to Mubai?"
"Auntie, you're mocking me again…" Tianxin blushed, her every calculated movement was a display of elegance .
Old Mrs . Xi looked at her approvingly . The more time she spent with Tianxin the more she liked her future daughter-in-law .
"Tianxin, the celebration is starting soon . Remember to come on stage when auntie calls your name okay? Auntie is going to personally announce your upcoming nuptial to Mubai . "
Tianxin giggled girlishly, exclaiming, "Really, auntie‽ You're so good to me!"
