Chapter 890: Chapter 878: Slander
“This old lady is so old, yet she’s still so reckless. The road isn’t even narrow, but she still managed to bump into . It’s really puzzling.”
Qiao Lin couldn’t help but grumble a few complaints.
Qiao Jing glanced in the direction the old lady left, feeling a bit suspicious in his heart.
Qiao Hong patted Qiao Lin’s shoulder and said, “Forget it, don’t worry about it, as long as no one was hurt. Let’s head inside first.”
After speaking, she took Qiao Lin by the arm and walked towards the entrance of the banquet hall first.
Qiao Jing followed with Zhan Qiaoyu, stepping towards the entrance.
At this mont, in a concealed corner not far away, the old lady who bumped into Qiao Lin was standing in front of Yang Xiaoxiao.
Yang Xiaoxiao suppressed her voice, eagerly asking, “So, did you get it?”
“Got it.”
The old lady replied, then took an invitation out from a woven basket.
Looking at the invitation stolen from Qiao Lin, a complacent smile appeared on Yang Xiaoxiao’s face.
She knew that judging by the nature of the Qiao Family sisters, the invitation must be with Qiao Lao Er.
As expected, she guessed right!
Earlier at Yueji Pavilion, the Qiao Family sisters embarrassed her so much, she couldn’t swallow that anger!
Now without the invitation, let’s see how they attend Miss Zhan’s engagent banquet!
“You don’t need to give the invitation, just find a trash can and throw it away.”
After saying this, Yang Xiaoxiao took out so cash from her bag and handed it to the old lady.
The old lady imdiately reached out to take it, put the money into the basket, and left happily.
At the entrance of the banquet hall, Qiao Jing and the others had just approached when the attendant ca over, asking them to show their invitation.
It was only then that Qiao Lin realized the invitation was gone.
Qiao Hong frowned, looking a bit anxious, “Search carefully, or maybe you left it in the car?”
“How could it be in the car? I just confird before getting out that it was in my bag, how could it suddenly be gone? It doesn’t make any sense…”
Qiao Lin was also anxious, muttering to herself while searching through her bag.
Qiao Jing pondered for a few seconds, thoughtfully asking, “Second Sister, are you sure that when you got out of the car, the invitation was still in your bag?”
“I’m sure, absolutely sure!”
Qiao Lin said this without hesitation, her tone extrely confident.
Qiao Jing lightly pursed her lips and voiced her suspicion, “If that’s the case, then it is the old lady who bumped into you that’s the problem.”
Since her second sister was sure the invitation was in her bag when she got out, it ans it disappeared after the old lady bumped into her.
They didn’t know the old lady, and they had no grievances with her, so the old lady had no reason to do this.
Unless, the old lady was instructed by soone!
Upon hearing Qiao Jing’s words, a look of sudden realization appeared on Qiao Lin’s face.
She slapped her forehead, her tone sowhat irritated, “I was wondering why the old lady was so strange, walking into instead of on a clear path—turns out she had bad intentions!”
“And to think I was worried about her falling—I didn’t expect her to be such a person. It’s really despicable!”
As soon as Qiao Lin finished speaking, Qiao Hong also expressed her indignation, “No wonder they say you can’t judge a person by their appearance. Who would have thought an old lady like that would do sothing so low!”
The attendant saw that they couldn’t produce the invitation for a long ti, and his attitude imdiately soured. He said irritably, “If you can’t show the invitation, don’t join the fun!”
“This is Miss Zhan’s engagent banquet, not so low-profile gathering. Get out of here, don’t cause trouble!”
Upon hearing these words, Qiao Lin beca even more displeased.
It was said as if they were shalessly trying to gatecrash for free food and drinks!
She snorted coldly and said through clenched teeth, “Didn’t you hear us talking? It’s not that we don’t have an invitation; it was stolen!”
Just as Qiao Lin finished speaking, Yang Xiaoxiao’s mocking voice ca through.
“Who knows if what you’re saying is true or not? You might have conspired with your sisters to put on a show here to sneak inside.”
While speaking, Yang Xiaoxiao had already walked over.
Once she stopped, she gave Qiao Jing and the others a disdainful look and said to the attendant, “These three are from a small family; they definitely weren’t invited by the Zhan Family, so you can’t let them in.”
Upon hearing such inciting words, Qiao Lin was furious and glared hard at Yang Xiaoxiao, “Yang, are you going to die if you don’t pick a fight every day?”
Qiao Hong also glared at Yang Xiaoxiao, angrily saying, “Yang Xiaoxiao, can you stop being so shaless? You know we had an invitation, yet you still say such things!”
“What do you an by ‘know’? Don’t make it sound like we’re so close!”
Yang Xiaoxiao folded her arms across her chest, her face full of ridicule, “Besides, if you had an invitation, you would have shown it by now. No need for this fake performance!”
“The old lady who stole our invitation was arranged by you, wasn’t she?”
Initially silent, Qiao Jing suddenly spoke up coldly, her gaze icy as she looked at Yang Xiaoxiao, her brows filled with a chilling aura.
The way she said it, although phrased as a question, was filled with confidence.
Since Yang Xiaoxiao had clashed with them multiple tis before, she was the most likely person to do such a thing.
Moreover, if Yang Xiaoxiao wasn’t up to sothing, how could she be so sure they couldn’t produce the invitation as soon as she arrived?
Faced with Qiao Jing’s sharp questioning, the guilty Yang Xiaoxiao beca furious out of embarrassnt.
She glared at Qiao Jing and sneered, “Qiao Lao San, stop spouting nonsense here. What invitation theft, what old lady, I have no idea what you’re talking about! Don’t try to slander !”
After speaking, Yang Xiaoxiao looked towards the attendant beside her, provoking, “This matter is serious, I’m just kindly reminding you.”
“Today’s the engagent banquet for Miss Zhan; if things get blown out of proportion, you could lose your job, and you might not even be able to stay in the capital anymore!”
“So, how you handle this is up to you!”
By this ti, quite a few people had been drawn to the commotion, gathering at the banquet hall entrance and discussing the scene.
“What’s the argunt about here? Does anyone know the situation?”
“It seems those three won can’t show an invitation, saying it was stolen, and the attendant is stopping them from entering.”
“Yeah, then those three suspect that the woman who’s currently yelling stole their invitation, so they’re arguing.”
“Arguing like this at Miss Zhan’s engagent banquet entrance—these people really don’t regard the Zhan Family at all!”
“Exactly, if they ruin Miss Zhan’s engagent banquet, the consequences could be severe!”
“…”
The attendant, influenced by Yang Xiaoxiao’s incitent and other people’s discussions, also felt that this matter needed to be resolved imdiately!
