The caller was the current wife of the Zhong family, Zhong Qinghong's eldest aunt—Xu Meizhen.

"Miss Xu, do you have time to sit down here today? We have arranged a dinner, and we hope to turn our hostility into friendship." Xu Meizhen's voice was extremely gentle.

"Ms. Zhong, I'm afraid..."

"Don't rush to refuse, I know that my call came suddenly, and that's because of a reason." Xu Meizhen's tone became obscure, "Your aunt, that is, my younger brother and sister, Xu Yaoli...she tried to commit suicide last night. We want to Now, you are one of the few relatives in her world who are connected by blood, at least you can untie this knot."

Suicide... Xu Yanfei's eyelids twitched slightly.

"I can promise to go to the banquet tonight, but before I do that, I have to make one point. From the moment Xu Yaoli kicked me out of the house and said that she had severed ties with me, she and I were no longer relatives."

Xu Meizhen didn't expect her to be so direct: "Okay, I'll send a car to pick you up later."

"No, I'll take a taxi there."

"Is Young Master Tong coming?"

"Isn't it enough for me to go alone for this kind of thing?" Xu Yanfei smiled half a smile, and there was sarcasm between the lines.

Xu Meizhen smiled dryly: "Then I will wait for your visit."

Xu Yanfei knew that Tong Xing had something important to do tonight, so she said at the beginning that she would not come to pick her up.Calculating the time, it took only an hour or two to have dinner, so she decided to go alone and sent a message to Tong Xing for the report.

Zhong's villa is not too far from the city center, Xu Yanfei will be there in less than half an hour by taxi.

The iron gate of the garden was wide open, and Xu Meizhen stood at the gate and waited in person.

"Miss Xu, you are here, welcome."

Xu Meizhen stepped forward, smiling all over her face, as if she was really afraid that she would not come.

"Hello."

Xu Yanfei smiled softly, neither humble nor overbearing.

Following Xu Meizhen into Zhong's villa, several young men and women were already waiting in the living room.From the looks of it, they really had a grand family dinner tonight.

Except for Zhong Qinghong, who was shameless recently, who didn't come, Zhong Qingpeng from sister-in-law Xu Meizhen's family, and Zhong Qingliu's brother Zhong Qingchang were all present.

Xu Meizhen: "I'll go to the kitchen to have a look first, and the dinner will start later. You are all young people, and you can talk better than me if you have something to talk about. Let's talk first."

As she spoke, she led Xu Yanfei to seat C in the middle of the sofa, and she also pushed the tea and snacks in front of her.

When Xu Meizhen left, Zhong Qingliu took the lead in launching the attack.

"It's true that you can be found everywhere. Even an outsider has the nerve to come over for our family dinner. You're really thick-skinned."

Zhong Qingliu rolled his eyes to the sky.

"It was your aunt who specially called to invite me. I think she is an elder, and she is so enthusiastic, so I am too embarrassed to refuse. Now it seems that Ms. Zhong is the person in charge of the Zhong family? Well, as long as you speak, I will leave now , I will never step into the gate of your Zhong family in the future."

Hmph, do you really think she rarely comes to this so-called family dinner?
Even if Xu Yanfei was angry again, when she said this, she was still calm and smiling.

The faces of the young men who were present were slightly red.

They just felt that the woman in front of them was a combination of beauty, beauty, beauty and elegance. Just looking at it made people startled and moved their hearts.

"You!" Zhong Qingliu was stunned speechless.

After a while, she said angrily: "You wait for me."

"Of course I'm waiting." Waiting to see what kind of flowers you can eat at the Zhong family's family banquet.

After a while, Xu Meizhen came to greet everyone to eat.

Many people came to the luxuriously decorated restaurant, and a big round table was already full.

Xu Yanfei was arranged to sit beside Xu Yaoli.

Xu Yaoli's complexion looked very pale, her lips had an unnatural light color, and she seemed to be suffering from a serious illness.Her left wrist was wrapped in a gauze, as if she was telling Xu Yanfei the thrilling scene last night.

Xu Yanfei pretended not to see it, and sat quietly in her seat without saying a word.

There were no grandparents present tonight, so the atmosphere at the dinner table was relaxed and active.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhong Qingliu suddenly said, "Xu Yanfei, look at your aunt's complexion, don't you say you care?"

"I'm not a doctor, so I can't tell what's wrong with her. All I know is that if you're not feeling well, you should see a doctor as soon as possible, instead of avoiding medical treatment." Xu Yanfei calmly swallowed a mouthful of fish-flavored eggplant before responding .

"Hehe, did I mention the doctor? I mean you don't care about your elders. She is your aunt anyway, and you are about to marry Young Master Tong. You don't want any scandal of disrespect and filial piety to break out later, do you?"

Zhong Qingliu raised his eyebrows, "Even if you don't care, don't the Tong family care?"

Zhong Qingpeng also nodded: "That's right, harmony is the most important thing in a family, and everything will prosper in harmony."

"Cousin Yanfei, so what if you are a junior?" Zhong Qingchang also followed suit.

"Oh, then how do you say I will give in?"

Xu Yanfei's eyes flickered with sharpness, and she remained calm.

"Your aunt misses you terribly, and she felt very guilty after that incident last time. No—I almost couldn't think about it last night. If my family members hadn't discovered it early, how could they sit down with us now and have a meal, talking and joking? Laughing?"

While talking, Zhong Qingliu exchanged glances with Xu Meizhen next to her.

"Are you joking? She hasn't spoken since she sat down. How can she be joking?"

Xu Yanfei could see it.

The Zhong family felt that Xu Yaoli had become a burden, and staying in the Zhong family was always a factor of instability.

But she has been married to the Zhong family for more than 20 years, and her son is so old, it is impossible to divorce her at this juncture and draw a clear line.The Zhong family has shame, it will be laughed at for many years if they do such a detrimental thing.

There is no one else in the Xu family, except Xu Yanfei.

They simply turned their attention to her.

Yes, what a great idea.

On the surface, it can be said that the two sides shook hands and made peace, and became a loving family; internally, they got rid of a hot potato, and if something happened to Xu Yaoli in the future, it would be Xu Yanfei who would be responsible.

Wanting to understand this, Xu Yanfei drank the soup slowly.

Zhong Qingliu couldn't help it: "Are you still in the mood for soup?"

"Isn't it just for dinner that you invited me here? Why, I haven't finished eating yet, and I'm not even allowed to drink soup?" Xu Yanfei was deliberately surprised.

Zhong Qingliu couldn't hold back his face: "I didn't mean that... I just want you to express your opinion."

"What's your statement?"

Xu Meizhen continued: "You see, your aunt has become like this because of your affairs. We can't think of a better way. We want her to go back with you for a while. Maybe with relatives around, I will feel better about her."

Xu Yanfei put down the bowl, and wiped her fingers gracefully: "I'm afraid I can't say it well."
