Chapter 752: Pseudo-Truth 22
Xia Chuxue said that Grandpa would host a banquet tonight in honor of the Xia Family, and Xia Yinian knew she had to attend.But she didn’t expect that even Uncle would show up at the Feng Family’s family banquet.
Not seeing Feng Yifan was a silver lining to Xia Yinian.
Nevertheless, sitting next to Uncle, she also found it difficult to swallow her food.
Two people who were like strangers today, now sat so close together for a meal.
Although there was no interaction between the two, Xia Yinian still felt uncomfortable all over.
"Today, the opening of Beicheng and Ah Yen’s Cosmetic Group coincides with their celebration," said the Old Master.
"But since we have distinguished guests at home, Ah Yen had to turn down all other social engagements," Old Master Feng said with a laugh.
"The young man from Beicheng doesn’t mind moving the celebration here, making it livelier with more people. I certainly welcome that, and I hope Old Man Xia doesn’t mind."
"With the opportunity to share a simple meal with Seventh Young Master, how could I mind?" Xia Yiru replied with a smile.
"As long as no one minds, that’s great," said Feng Heng, pursing his lips apologetically.
"Old Man Xia, in fact, I should have hosted this banquet a long time ago. Recent events have delayed it for so many days, and I apologize for that!"
"You took care of Chuxue for eighteen years and raised her so well. You truly are benefactors to the Feng Family."
"Old Master, don’t say that. It’s our fortune to have been able to adopt the Feng Family’s beloved daughter."
Xia Yiru met Feng Heng’s gaze and continued: "Chuxue is sensible from a young age; it’s all innate!"
"It’s all thanks to the good guidance from Old Man Xia and his wife, Li Yuan," said Feng Heng, his smile growing even more earnest.
"I was thinking that tonight we could have a good gathering since I had time, but who knew I would forget about the young people’s company opening."
"Old Man Xia, do you think my mind is deteriorating too quickly?"
Looking at Xia Yiru, Feng Heng tapped his own head.
"Grandpa," Xia Chuxue immediately took Feng Heng’s hand and whispered, "Don’t knock like that; even a good one could get damaged."
"Alright, alright, I won’t knock; I’ll listen to Chuxue," said Feng Heng, glancing at Xia Chuxue, clearly in a very good mood.
Xia Chuxue’s smile was sweet, as if it could melt hearts, which is why she was so good at making the elderly happy.
"Everyone, please start; don’t be so formal, as if you were at your own home," Feng Heng said softly, waving his hand.
After exchanging niceties, everyone began to eat, but for Xia Yinian, feeling at ease was impossible.
Uncle seemed to be in a good mood tonight, at least not as icy cold, not like the central air conditioning.
Was he happy because of Yu Wanqing?
Xia Yinian felt like she was being sentimental. Why was she suddenly letting her thoughts run wild?
The girl picked at her rice grain by grain, which made it seem like she was either sick or troubled.
"Nian Nian, what’s wrong? Are you still not feeling well?" Feng Heng quickly noticed her discomfort.
"Mhm," Xia Yinian nodded her head.
She couldn’t tell if it was her body that was uncomfortable or her heart; all she knew was that she had started feeling unwell as soon as she sat down.
If Grandpa allowed her to return to her room, she would surely run faster than anyone else.
"If you’re really not feeling well, you can go rest first; Grandpa will have Uncle Rui prepare some porridge for you, alright?"
Feng Heng looked at her indulgently, speaking cautiously as if he was afraid of Xia Yinian getting hurt even in the slightest.
