Chapter 167 Invitation
Chapter 167 Invitation
In the evening, Xiaomai woke up from hunger. As soon as she woke up, He Lingting hurried over and asked nervously, "Now that you're awake, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
"Ah, why does my throat hurt so much? How long have I slept? How come it's getting dark already?"
"Silly girl, you caught a cold last night and have a fever." He Lingting touched the girl's forehead and it was finally no longer hot.
"Oh, I told you, my throat hurts. Uncle, I'm hungry."
"Wait, I'll get you some food." He Lingting opened the door and went out. When he came back, he had a bowl of hot porridge in his hand. "Come on, girl, eat quickly!" He fed the little girl mouthful by mouthful.
Xiaomai wanted to eat more porridge after finishing the bowl. "Uncle, I'm still hungry."
"Okay, wait, but eat no more than half a bowl. You can't eat too much when your fever just subsided."
"Okay then!" Xiaomai said reluctantly with a pout.
"Be good, when you're fully recovered, your husband will take you to eat whatever you want." He Lingting pinched the little girl's face and coaxed her softly.
"That's good enough." Xiaomai looked up at the uncle with a smile.
With He Lingting's careful care, Xiaomai recovered the next day, but her throat was still a little sore. She wanted to go to work, but the uncle refused to agree and forced her to stay at home for three days. Her throat finally stopped hurting.
"Uncle, I have to go to work today. If I don't go, my internship will be over." Xiaomai kept muttering early in the morning.
"Is your throat better?"
"It's okay, it's okay, it doesn't hurt at all. Look, it's not red anymore." Xiaomai opened her mouth for He Lingting to check. He Lingting pinched the little girl's chin and looked into her mouth.
"Well, it's not red anymore."
"Then can I go to work?" Xiaomai asked cautiously.
"Sure." As soon as He Lingting finished speaking, Xiaomai jumped up, "Yeah, long live uncle, I finally don't have to stay at home anymore."
After they packed up and had breakfast, He Lingting sent Xiaomai to the company and went to work himself.
As soon as Xiaomai entered the office, Jiang Nannan immediately ran over and gave Xiaomai a big bear hug, "Xiaomi, you're finally here. My life is so boring without you."
"Don't talk nonsense. When I'm not around, you and Brother Zhang are so affectionate to each other." Xiaomai teased Jiang Nannan.
The little girl was very thin-skinned, and her face turned red all of a sudden. "No way, don't talk nonsense."
As soon as Zhang Pengfei came in, he saw his little girl blushing, "Xiaomi, you bully my Nannan as soon as you come back!"
"Ouch, your Nan Nan!" Xiaomai bumped into Jiang Nan Nan sideways, and Jiang Nan Nan's face turned even redder with embarrassment.
The three were talking and joking when Yin Nana came in wearing high heels. "Hey, Jiang Xiaomai finally showed up. I heard that you were in a mudslide and got a fever out of shock. Are you well now?"
"Okay, thank you for your concern!" Xiaomai was too lazy to talk nonsense with her and turned back to her seat.
"Tsk, she doesn't understand what I'm saying. She's the only one who's scared among several people. She's so pretentious and cheap!" Yin Nana despised Xiaomai in her heart.
After everyone arrived, Yin Nana started to get busy again. She took out a few invitations from her bag, stood up and said, "Our Yin Group is holding a party this Saturday night to celebrate the completion of the foundation of a villa jointly built with an overseas real estate developer. I know that no one has ever seen such a scene, so I asked Grandpa for a few invitations to open everyone's eyes. If anyone wants to go, come to me to get the invitations."
Liu Yanyan was the first to ask for an invitation. She had made a lot of money from her last affair with He Tianxiang, and she was still thinking about him and always wanted to marry into a rich family. How could she miss such a good opportunity?
Afterwards, a few vain girls also asked for invitations, but no one else said anything.
"Jiang Xiaomai, aren't you going?" Yin Nana asked provocatively.
"No, I don't like that kind of occasion." Xiaomai retorted directly.
"That won't work. I see you're so close to Brother He Ting, who is a well-known figure in Su City. But he has to go to those occasions frequently. If you don't like it, how can you stay with him for a long time?" Yin Nana looked down on Xiaomai. How could a petty country boy be worthy of He Ting?
"Really? Is he going?" Xiaomai asked.
"Of course he has to go. My grandfather invited him personally." Yin Nana said proudly with her nose in the air.
"Oh, then give me one!" Xiaomai thought about it and asked for an invitation.
Of course Yin Nana was very willing to do so, because she wanted Xiaomai to make a fool of herself that day so that everyone could get to know Jiang Xiaomai well and see how she could steal my limelight in the future.
