She was afraid that … her sister had picked up a little monster this time!
The dinner was joyous, but not long after, Lin Mengya received an invitation from the An family.
Uncle Rong was in charge of receiving them. This was Lin Mengya's order.
No matter who came, they would not be able to see any of them.
She wanted them to understand that it was easy to see them yesterday, but they would not be able to do so after that.
"The An family has indeed climbed up the ladder."
Gong Wu's expression did not look too good after seeing the invitation.
Lin Mengya glanced at him and asked Shang 'er to take the child away.
"That's nothing. If they are really capable, they should have come to us. Alright, there's no need to be angry. Anyway, we know what's going on. It's not worth it to lower ourselves to their level. "
She was calm and composed, not surprised at all.
"Look at what's written on this invitation card? It says that they have let us down and are holding a banquet to apologize. It sounds so nice, but why did they only send a servant? Even Uncle Mao and Uncle Kun did not come. I think they are looking down on us. "
Gong Wu was right. The so-called apology was based on sincerity.
It seemed that the An family was very perfunctory towards the Gong family.
"So what if they don't care about you? We don't live on the An family's face. I think we should go and find out the situation first. It's time for the Gong family to settle the old scores. "
The time for the banquet was fixed to the evening.
The An family's house was not far from the Gong family's house. They were only separated by a street.
In the past, this also meant that the two families were close.
When the three from the Gong family arrived, the place was already full of guests and carriages.
Fortunately, the An family did not do too much. Uncle Mao, who they had met before, was waiting for them at the door.
"Uncle Mao, why are you alone? Where's Uncle Kun?"
Gong Wu was just asking an extra question, but Uncle Mao looked apologetic.
"Originally, the two of us should be waiting for you. However, Her Highness Xi arrived just now. The old master was afraid that he would neglect Her Highness, so he sent Uncle Kun. "
Murong Xi was here too?
The three people from the Gong Family looked at each other. It seemed that the An Family wasn't going to just apologize.
"It's fine. Let's go in first."
After that, the three of them followed Uncle Mao into the mansion.
In the dim light of the candles, Lin Mengya saw a familiar figure.
She immediately stopped, wanting to see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, the figure turned a corner in the corridor and disappeared.
Lin Mengya wanted to chase after him, but Gong Si pulled her sleeve.
"Where are you going?"
Gong Si's question woke Lin Mengya up.
This was the An family.
Then, he lowered his eyes and hid his thoughts.
"Nothing, I just thought I saw someone I knew. So, I was mistaken. "
Perhaps she had seen wrongly.
But … Lin Mengya's heart suddenly beat strangely. It couldn't be.
An family's dinner party was much livelier than they expected.
Their seats were arranged in a more conspicuous place, but before them, several families had already taken their seats.
Lin Mengya glanced at them. It seemed that the An Family no longer regarded the Gong Family as their partner.
But this was good. It saved her from having to worry about the past when she took action.
She looked around and found it strange. Wasn't Long Tianhao here? Why wasn't he here?
"Everyone, I'm sorry that we're late."
After they took their seats, the An Family arrived late.
Although they had seen the portrait a few times before, it was the first time they saw the person in person.
From outside the banquet room, three people came in.
The leader was an old man with white hair and beard, but in fact, he was in good spirits. His eyes were shining, and it was obvious that he was not the kind of old man who had lost his fighting spirit.
Behind him were two middle-aged men, one in red and the other in purple.
They looked somewhat similar, but the purple-clothed man was clearly much younger than the vermilion clothed man.
They both had the same smile on their faces, but one looked introverted and steady, and the other looked shrewd and calculative.
They must be the two heirs of the An Family. But now it seemed that Fourth Master An was more skillful.
It was probably because he had raised a good daughter.
As soon as the three of them appeared, someone immediately stood up and greeted them.
Lin Mengya and the other two still sat there in silence, looking a little out of place.
She noticed that Fourth Master and Ninth Master's gazes also occasionally passed over them.
However, neither of them said anything further.
It seemed that they had indeed been abandoned.
Lin Mengya smiled and narrowed her eyes.
Then, where should she start?
Old Master An sat in the main seat, while Fourth Master and Ninth Master sat on both sides.
Because it was only a private banquet, the atmosphere was quite relaxed.
However, since they were all from aristocratic families, who would come here to eat and drink?
"I'm very happy that all of you can come. Thank you for not despising me. I'm really ashamed. "
Old Master An's voice was loud like a bell, full of energy. It seemed that he was in good shape.
The aristocratic families who were invited naturally had to be polite to them. Everyone had to carry out a commercial flattery, and then it was time to eat and drink and get to know each other.
Among the crowd, someone who was familiar with the An Family asked.
"Old Master An, didn't you say that Princess Xi, Prince Yue, and Princess Xianghua are here? Why don't I see them now? "
"Everyone, Prince Yue and Princess Xianghua are here, but unfortunately, Princess Xianghua is not feeling well and has gone back. As for Her Highness Xi, everyone knows about her relationship with Xiang Hua Princess. "
Fourth Master was in charge of answering. He purposely didn't point it out, so that his words were extremely ambiguous.
Everyone immediately understood. If his fiancée was not feeling well, as her fiancé, he naturally had to take care of her.
But they didn't know that the sweetheart of his' fiancé 'was here.
Lin Mengya put down the teacup and pinched the corner of her clothes.
It seemed that someone was going to be unlucky.
"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Gong Family is here too. I wonder where she is?"
Many of them had just arrived a few days ago, so they naturally hadn't seen Lin Mengya.
But she felt that there was something wrong with the tone of his words. It was obvious that he was treating her as a rare object.
Old Master An looked in the direction of the Gong Family and said after a slight hesitation.
"Gong Ya, come here and let the elders have a look."
His tone was very intimate.
But why didn't he look at her just now?
Gong Si and Gong Wu were unhappy. But when Lin Mengya heard that, she stood up and walked to the old master of the An Family.
After bowing, she said calmly.
"I wonder who it is that wants to see me."
Everyone's eyes lit up. They only saw that the girl in front of them was extremely beautiful.
They didn't feel it when they were sitting on the seat just now, but now she was even more dazzling, like a luminous pearl.
"Is this the eldest daughter of the Gong Family? Indeed … Indeed different. I wonder if Miss Gong is married? "
Lin Mengya looked at that person indifferently and said with her lips curled up.
"Not married. Firstly, the elders in the family didn't say anything. Secondly, ordinary families can't accept me into their family. What's more, it's the family that wants to marry me. "
What she meant was that she was too outstanding and no one was worthy of her.
But that person didn't seem to understand. Instead, he acted like an elder and wanted to teach her a few words.
"Although the rules of the Gong Family are not ordinary, women are women after all. We still need a man to support the Gong Family."
Lin Mengya hated this kind of saying the most. Why did it have to be the men of other families who were better than the men of the Gong Family?
If she didn't want to be the head of the Gong Family, she would naturally have to choose one of her brothers to succeed.
Don't even think about it!
"It's a pity that the rules of the Gong Family can't be disobeyed. It's a shame that the heads of the Gong Family are all women, but they have made such a big family business. I wonder what would happen if it were a man? When I go back, I'll read your family history books and learn the skills of men. "
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and left calmly.
The group of men behind her didn't say anything.
The Gong Family were all women, but they were so famous that even the royal family didn't dare to ignore them.
Their family wasn't even famous back then. How dare they come here to teach her a lesson!
After returning to their seats, Gong Si and Gong Wu could roughly guess what had happened.
"A bunch of cowards! When the head of the Gong Family was still here, they didn't dare to say anything. Now, they don't dare to show off! "
Gong Wu spat at them and said angrily.
But Lin Mengya knew that she was not officially recognized as the head of the Gong Family, and in terms of seniority, she really didn't have any advantage.
If she said it out, people would say that she was just kind enough to remind the younger generation.
So, to make up for this, she prepared a secret weapon.
"Master Lian, Madam Lian —"
Outside, a servant rushed in to report.
The status of the Lian Family was second to none among the aristocratic families in Dragon City.
Their arrival was very important to the An Family.
Master An was delighted and went to welcome them personally.
Soon, Master Lian and Madam Lian arrived at the banquet.
Master An stood beside Master Lian, talking and laughing. But from the beginning to the end, Master Lian's face was serious.
On the contrary, it made Master An look like he was trying to warm up to Master Lian.
When Madam Lian arrived, her gaze swept across the crowd without any hesitation.
Until she saw Lin Mengya in the crowd.
"Ya 'er, why are you here first?"
Lin Mengya greeted him with a smile, as if he was trying to express his goodwill to her.
"It's my fault. Nice to meet you, Aunt and Uncle."
Unexpectedly, Old Master Lian, who had been wearing a cold expression all this while, smiled at him.
