Xue Yishan’s mouth froze when she was confronted by Xia Yumo’s question. Looking at the sarcastic expression in Xia Yumo’s eyes, a hint of imperceptible anger bubbled up from the bottom of her heart.
However, due to Qi Xiao’s presence, she could only suppress her anger and force a smile:
"Cousin’s Wife, you’re really good at cracking jokes."
"I’m not joking."
Xia Yumo directly countered her, as she truly despised people like Xue Yishan from the bottom of her heart.
Xue Lan may be annoying, but she sincerely loved her niece Xue Yishan. Even an outsider like Xia Yumo could see that.
But Xue Yishan could betray her aunt Xue Lan for her own sake without hesitation.
Such a person was even more detestable than Xue Lan, that fool.
And Xia Yumo didn’t want to waste her ti engaging in false niceties with soone like Xue Yishan.
Without waiting for Xue Yishan to speak and ignoring the redness in her eyes due to the wronged feeling after glancing at Qi Xiao, Xia Yumo arrogantly raised her chin and said:
"How did you get in? Weren’t you kicked out by that day when you ca begging for an invitation?"
At this mont, Xia Yumo perfectly embodied a stubborn and harsh rich young lady.
Qi Xiao didn’t say anything on the side. Although he didn’t recognize the woman who suddenly approached, he could clearly feel that his sister didn’t like her.
And it seed that the Qi family hadn’t sent her an invitation. Did she sneak in?
He didn’t want to get involved in won’s battles. However, the person by his side was his long-lost younger sister whom he had finally found. As her brother, he had to stand up for her.
So, he stood beside Xia Yumo the whole ti without leaving, which was what Xue Yishan wanted.
The harsher Xia Yumo was to her, the more pitiful she appeared in Qi Xiao’s eyes.
As long as Qi Xiao spoke up for her, she would have the opportunity to strike up a conversation with him.
With that in mind, she pursed her lips, put on an embarrassed appearance, and laughed awkwardly:
"Cousin’s Wife, I sincerely wanted to co and celebrate your birthday. After I left that day, I wanted to ask my aunt to bring along, but she refused, and even threw Mr. Qi’s invitation into the garbage bin..."
As she spoke, she cast a weak glance at Qi Xiao.
To her disappointnt, Qi Xiao didn’t look at her but gazed at the wine glass in his hand, seemingly lost in thought.
Xue Yishan shook her lower lip regretfully and continued:
"I’ve tried persuading my aunt not to go against you all the ti, but she wouldn’t listen. As a mber of the younger generation, I couldn’t force her, so I thought I’d bring this invitation and personally apologize to you and Mr. Qi on her behalf."
As she spoke, she looked at Qi Xiao again with hopeful eyes.
Xia Yumo smiled and raised an eyebrow.
Xue Yishan betrayed her aunt Xue Lan so easily, truly shaless.
This invitation was probably obtained by Xue Yishan from Xue Lan through deceit.
Xia Yumo didn’t respond to her, but just looked at her with a half-smile.
Qi Xiao ignored her, which made Xue Yishan’s smile on her face grow more rigid and awkward.
She didn’t care about Xia Yumo’s indifference, all she wanted was to strike up a conversation with Qi Xiao.
However, Qi Xiao wouldn’t even give her half a word or a single glance, which made Xue Yishan feel extrely disappointed.
After waiting and waiting without getting a single glance from Qi Xiao, she could only take the initiative and say:
"Mr. Qi, I’m glad to et you."
