Chapter 145 Invitation from the Song Family
As soon as Lan Yaoxia returned to the room, she saw Li Jinxi lying on the bed, staring at her phone. She walked over and sat beside the bed, asking curiously, "What are you looking at? You're so engrossed."
Li Jinxi heard the voice and lazily turned over, revealing a delicate face, but her eyes were still fixed on the screen, mumbling, "I'm so bored, I can only watch videos to relieve my boredom."
When Lan Yaoxia heard this, she thought so too. Li Jinxi stayed at home every day, and except going downstairs to eat, she had nothing to do most of the time. She would indeed feel bored.
"Have you showered yet?"
Lan Yaoxia asked softly.
Li Jinxi then reluctantly turned off her phone, climbed out of bed, got out of bed, and walked towards the bathroom while answering: "I haven't washed yet, I'll go now."
After Li Jinxi finished taking a shower, she gently urged him while blowing her hair: "You should go take a shower too."
Lan Yaoxia nodded, took her pajamas and went into the bathroom.
The next day—
Lan Yaoxia received an invitation letter from the Song family.
Looking at the exquisite invitation in her hand, Lan Yaoxia couldn't help but frown, secretly puzzled.
Song Chengshuang from the Song family is getting married, and the bride is Hu Miaoling, the daughter of the Hu family in Jinling City.
Lan Yaoxia thought about the fact that there was a feud between her family and the Song family, and their relationship was certainly not good. But the Song family now took the initiative to send her an invitation, which was really puzzling.
Lan Yaoxia rubbed the invitation letter in her hand.
I felt that this was a bit odd, but I couldn't tell what was wrong.
At noon, when Lan Yaoxia returned home for lunch, she told her father Lan Yonggui about this matter.
After hearing this, Lan Yonggui also fell into deep thought. After a while, he slowly said: "This Song Yunzhou... um..."
"Dad, what do you think?"
Lan Yaoxia asked.
Lan Yonggui continued, "You make your own decision. If you don't want to go, don't go."
Lan Yaoxia thought about it, nodded and said, "Since the invitation has been sent, I might as well go."
"I'm quite curious about what the Song family wants to do by doing this."
Wu Jun put down his chopsticks and said to Lan Yonggui: "Hey, I remember that the Hu family and the Ming family have a good relationship. Why did they choose to marry into the Song family?"
Lan Yonggui smiled and said, "I have heard some rumors about this."
Wu Jun asked curiously, "What rumor is that?"
Lan Yaoxia and Li Jinxi also put down their chopsticks, and they all looked at Lan Yonggui.
Lan Yonggui asked, "The heir of the Ming family seems to be called Ming Muxuan, right?"
Lan Yaoxia nodded. She had also heard some things about the Ming family.
Lan Yonggui continued, "At that time, the Hu family was interested in forming a marriage alliance with the Ming family, but the young man Ming Muxuan seemed to have refused to marry the girl from the Hu family."
"Oh? Why?"
Wu Jun asked in surprise, because the Ming family and the Song family have a good relationship, there is no reason for them to refuse.
Lan Yonggui smiled mysteriously and continued, "It is said that Ming Muxuan likes another woman, but no one knows who it is."
"And the girl from the Hu family was unwilling to force it, so the marriage fell through."
Wu Jun nodded in sudden realization: "So that's why! No wonder the Hu family chose to marry into the Song family."
Lan Yonggui picked up the bowl and took a sip of soup. "Maybe they think the Song family is also a good choice."
"After all, the Song family still has a certain status in the business world, and the two families are equally powerful, so a marriage can bring many benefits."
Wu Jun shook his head with emotion, "This Lianyan matter is really complicated! I wonder what the relationship between the Ming family and the Hu family will be like in the future."
Lan Yaoxia and Li Jinxi looked at each other, feeling a little emotional.
They understand that such marriages between families often involve many games of interests and power, and the story behind it is far more complicated than it appears on the surface.
Li Jinxi thought to himself that if Lan Yaoxia had not married him, the Lan family would probably have found a woman from a noble family for him to marry.
However, Li Jinxi knew very little about the situation of the aristocratic family, so when faced with such a topic, she could not say a word.
At this time, Lan Yaoxia suddenly asked, "Dad, what is the status of the Hu family in Jinling City?"
Since she had no good feelings towards the Song family, Lan Yaoxia couldn't help but develop a strong interest in the Hu family.
After all, the Song family may continue to clash in the future, and the Hu family may become a powerful ally of the Song family.
Thinking of this, Lan Yaoxia felt it necessary to inquire about the specific situation of the Hu family.
Lan Yonggui smiled and said, "There's nothing to worry about. The Hu family is at most a middle-class family."
“It poses no threat to us.”
Hearing her father's words, Lan Yaoxia nodded.
If that's the case, there's nothing to worry about.
After lunch, Lan Yaoxia and Li Jinxi returned to the room.
Li Jinxi changed into pajamas and went to bed, saying to Lan Yaoxia: "Hubby, you still have time, so take a rest first."
"When the time is almost up, I will wake you up"
Lan Yaoxia also took off his suit and changed into the pajamas he usually wore to sleep.
After getting on the bed, he lay down next to Li Jinxi and said, "I'll go to the Song family to attend the wedding banquet in a few days."
"I'll go to Wuhan City with you to have some fun then."
Li Jinxi covered Lan Yaoxia with a blanket and said, "Okay."
"The hotpot there seems to be very famous, how about we eat hotpot then?"
Lan Yaoxia looked at Li Jinxi with tenderness in her eyes.
He nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Of course, as long as you like it."
Then he held Li Jinxi in his arms and let her get closer.
"By the way, Song Chengshuang and you had some problems."
"He won't do anything tricky, will he?"
Li Jinxi frowned, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
Lan Yaoxia looked at Li Jinxi and felt that she was a little too nervous.
He gently patted Li Jinxi's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, he won't dare to do anything."
Li Jinxi still said worriedly: "But I'm still a little worried"
Lan Yaoxia smiled and said firmly: "Don't worry! I believe the Song family is not so stupid. They dare not offend our Lan family easily."
"Besides, if something really happens to me, the first one to suffer will definitely be the Song family."
Lan Yaoxia paused, then continued: "Besides, Song Chengshuang is the heir of the Song family, he should understand this truth."
After hearing what Lan Yaoxia said, Li Jinxi felt a little more relaxed, but she still had some doubts.
She couldn't help but ask, "Why did the Song family invite you?"
Lan Yaoxia shrugged and replied with a smile: "Maybe he wants to ease the relationship with me. After all, the last incident was quite tense."
"But it doesn't matter. As long as they don't take the initiative to cause trouble, I don't want to bother with them too much."
Li Jinxi nodded. Although she was still a little uneasy, seeing Lan Yaoxia was so confident, she had no choice but to believe her.
