Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Don’t Underestimate the Old Man (6)

It was inconceivable!

Zhong Qiaohui felt an inexplicable sense of disappointment, and even bitterness, that almost made her lose her composure.

In comparison, Li Changzhi’s face full of contempt, and Chen Jiaming’s silence, made her feel the world’s terror and darkness once again.

She didn’t know how Gu Nuan was faring, wanted to give Gu Nuan a call to ask, but felt their relationship as friends wasn’t close enough to warrant it. At this time, saying anything seemed pointless and would only add to her worries.

Thinking it over, it seemed better to wait and speak to Gu Nuan when they met at the company.

But now that Gu Nuan had become a wealthy lady, would she return to work at the company? Wasn’t she afraid of being scorned by everyone there?

It seemed she was overthinking it.

The only people who knew about Gu Nuan’s marriage to the young master of the Xiao Family were the guests who visited the Xiao Mansion today. These guests were carefully selected by the Xiao family and would not leak any information they weren’t supposed to.

Gu Nuan herself certainly wouldn’t talk about her marriage to the son of the richest man and then being driven out by the Xiao family.

This thought allowed Zhong Qiaohui to breathe a sigh of relief.

But then Li Changzhi suddenly said, "The Xiao family’s eldest daughter, I didn’t seem to see her tonight."

The silent Chen Jiaming finally spoke, "Her flight was delayed."

A flight delay, daring even to be late for the old lady’s birthday feast!

After seeing off the last of the guests, Madame Xiao and Xiao Jianming both felt exhausted and went back to their rooms to rest, leaving the task of tidying up to the sisters. When returning to her room, Madame Xiao didn’t forget to instruct Xiao Shulan, "I don’t know what happened to your eldest sister’s family; they’re late and can’t be reached by phone. If she arrives tonight, tell her not to rush. She can come see me tomorrow."

"I understand, Grandma," Xiao Shulan replied.

After Madame Xiao and Xiao Jianming had gone to rest, and the sisters finished their work, they sat in the living room to drink tea and prepared to wash up before going to sleep.

The person who ran in through the door said, "The eldest miss has returned."

Xiao Shumei arrived at the Xiao Mansion with her two sons, her daughter, and her husband, a total of five family members.

Because there were so many of them, they all came in a motorhome. Their presence perfectly fitted the status of the Xiao family’s eldest.

Upon seeing Xiao Shumei at the doorway, the younger sisters slowly stood up one by one, greeting her with, "Eldest sister, brother-in-law—"

Xiao Shumei has three children: a daughter and two sons. The eldest daughter, Zhao Mengjin, was twenty-three, followed by the second son, Zhao Menglong, who was seventeen and in high school, around the same age as Kang Yueting. The youngest, just in kindergarten and the product of a later pregnancy, was unplanned but not aborted, named Zhao Mengqing.

Her husband, Zhao Zirong, was a well-known liquor industry magnate, owning property rights to three of the world’s top ten wineries. His wine was sold across all seven continents and five oceans.

Seeing Xiao Shumei, the younger sisters had a mix of complex feelings.

After all, Xiao Shumei was undeniably the most successful among them: married to a good man, with both sons and a daughter. As a woman, she had everything she could ask for.

In contrast, the second eldest only had a single daughter, and her husband was good for nothing. The third couldn’t even have a child. The fourth was drifting abroad in the United States.

Xiao Shumei seemed very tired, as did Zhao Zirong. Upon hearing their sisters’ call, they just nodded slightly, and then she immediately asked the butler, "Where is Grandma?"

Xiao Shulan came out to convey the message left by the old lady.
