Chapter 270: 087: A Match Made in Heaven_2

She dismissed the words of Zhao Cuinong and Lin Guixiang as utter nonsense.

Weren’t those two just spouting rubbish?

As she finished speaking, she turned and walked away.

Watching Lin Guimei’s departing figure, Lin Guixiang seemed to think of something and called out to her, "Guimei, wait a second."

"What is it?" Lin Guimei turned back, puzzled.

Lin Guixiang continued, "We might be too busy tomorrow to come over during the day because of the new shop opening, what time do you start dinner in the evening?"

In Qing City, housewarming banquets took place in the evening, involving a meal with relatives and friends.

A small number of close relations would come over during the day.

As sisters, Lin Guixiang and Lin Guimei should by all rights start warming the house from the daytime, but Lin Guixiang really had no time to spare the next day, so she could only visit later in the evening.

Lin Guimei knew that the excuse of opening a branch was just a pretext. Lin Guixiang opening a branch? That was as likely as climbing to heaven.

But Lin Guimei did not openly expose her, merely saying, "We start dinner at 8 o’clock in the evening, you and Cui Nong can come to Flower Moon Mansion at 7 o’clock, and then we’ll head to the restaurant together."

"Okay," Lin Guixiang nodded.

After Lin Guimei left, Zhao Cuinong took Lin Guixiang’s hand, "Elder sister, don’t you find our second sister a bit strange?"

"Strange in what way?" Lin Guixiang asked, puzzled.

Zhao Cuinong spoke in a lower voice, "There’s something I forgot to tell you, half a month ago, Qiangzi had a big fight with the second sister. Anyway, it got pretty ugly, and I thought the second sister wouldn’t even inform us about the move. But unexpectedly... "

Unexpectedly, Lin Guimei had actually informed them.

Was Lin Guimei not afraid that they would embarrass her?

That seemed a bit unbelievable.

Lin Guixiang said with a smile, "People can change, what if Guimei is changing for the better?"

After all, she had raised her younger sister, Guixiang still believed that she would improve.

"Unlikely," Zhao Cuinong shook her head, "If she really had changed, she wouldn’t have found ways to mock us."

Zhao Cuinong always felt something was off but couldn’t pinpoint what exactly.

A few minutes later, Lin Guimei returned home.

Mother Sun was sitting in the living room.

Seeing her return, Mother Sun immediately stood up from the chair, "Guimei is back."

"Mom, you haven’t gone to bed yet?"

Mother Sun shook her head, then continued, "Did you see your elder sister?"

"I did," Lin Guimei said.

Mother Sun then asked, "Did you speak to her?"

Lin Guimei furrowed her brows slightly, puzzled by why her mother-in-law was suddenly so concerned about Lin Guixiang, even going so far as to personally request that she invite Lin Guixiang to their housewarming banquet.

If it weren’t for her mother-in-law asking her to invite Lin Guixiang, Guimei wouldn’t be willing to do so.

The guests attending tomorrow’s banquet were either relatives from the Sun Family or friends that Lin Guimei had made in Qing City over the years. All of them were genuine Qing City locals, and each one was wealthy from property compensation.

What was Lin Guixiang?

An uneducated peasant woman, she would only be a source of embarrassment at the event.

Yes.

Lin Guimei didn’t want to acknowledge that a sister like this was related to her in front of everyone.

But since her mother-in-law had spoken, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and invite Lin Guixiang.

At this thought, Lin Guimei looked at Mother Sun, her eyes filled with puzzled light, "Mom, why are you suddenly inviting her to our housewarming banquet?"

She knew that her mother-in-law cared much about appearances and also was the one who most despised countryside people.

Now she seemed to have changed her tune.

But it was a change that seemed quite odd.

It left Lin Guimei rather bewildered.

Hearing this, Mother Sun put down her phone, "Tomorrow Grandma Gui is also coming."

Grandma Gui?

Lin Guimei paused.

She was unaware that the Sun Family had a relative called Grandma Gui.

Seeing Lin Guimei’s clueless expression, Mother Sun narrowed her eyes, "It’s the Grandma Gui who emigrated to Country M ten years ago."

Only then did Lin Guimei recall who Grandma Gui was.

Grandma Gui was a distant relative of Mother Sun who had made a fortune early on and had emigrated with her family to Country M. Since then, Lin Guimei hadn’t heard anything about Grandma Gui for ten years.

She only knew that later, Grandma Gui had become very wealthy, reportedly buying a large villa in Country M.

She had assumed Grandma Gui would never return in her lifetime.

Yet unexpectedly, she was mentioned at their housewarming celebration.

Lin Guimei looked up at Mother Sun, her eyes full of confusion, "But, Mom, what does Grandma Gui’s visit have to do with my elder sister?"

Mother Sun continued, "Do you remember that Grandma Gui also has a son?"

"Are you talking about Brother Mingtao?" Lin Guimei inquired.
