Chapter 890: Chapter 878: Slander
“This old lady is so old, yet she’s still so reckless. The road isn’t even narrow, but she still managed to bump into
me. It’s really puzzling.”
Qiao Lin couldn't help but grumble a few complaints.
Qiao Jing glanced in the direction the old lady left, feeling a bit suspicious in his heart.
Qiao Hong patted Qiao Lin's shoulder and said, “Forget it, don’t worry about it, as long as no one was hurt. Let's
head inside first.”
After speaking, she took Qiao Lin by the arm and walked towards the entrance of the banquet hall first.
Qiao Jing followed with Zhan Qiaoyu, stepping towards the entrance.
At this moment, in a concealed corner not far away, the old lady who bumped into Qiao Lin was standing in front
of Yang Xiaoxiao.
Yang Xiaoxiao suppressed her voice, eagerly asking, “So, did you get it?”
“Got it.”
The old lady replied, then took an invitation out from a woven basket.
Looking at the invitation stolen from Qiao Lin, a complacent smile appeared on Yang Xiaoxiao's face.
She knew that judging by the nature of the Qiao Family sisters, the invitation must be with Qiao Lao Er.
As expected, she guessed right!
Earlier at Yueji Pavilion, the Qiao Family sisters embarrassed her so much, she couldn't swallow that anger!
Now without the invitation, let's see how they attend Miss Zhan’s engagement banquet!
“You don’t need to givethe invitation, just find a trash can and throw it away.”
After saying this, Yang Xiaoxiao took out scash from her bag and handed it to the old lady.
The old lady immediately reached out to take it, put the money into the basket, and left happily.
At the entrance of the banquet hall, Qiao Jing and the others had just approached when the attendant came
over, asking them to show their invitation.
It was only then that Qiao Lin realized the invitation was gone.
Qiao Hong frowned, looking a bit anxious, “Search carefully, or maybe you left it in the car?”

“How could it be in the car? | just confirmed before getting out that it was in my bag, how could it suddenly be
gone? It doesn’t make any sense...”
Qiao Lin was also anxious, muttering to herself while searching through her bag.
Qiao Jing pondered for a few seconds, thoughtfully asking, “Second Sister, are you sure that when you got out of
the car, the invitation was still in your bag?”
“I'm sure, absolutely sure!”
Qiao Lin said this without hesitation, her tone extremely confident.
Qiao Jing lightly pursed her lips and voiced her suspicion, “If that’s the case, then it is the old lady who bumped
into you that’s the problem.”
Since her second sister was sure the invitation was in her bag when she got out, it means it disappeared after
the old lady bumped into her.
They didn’t know the old lady, and they had no grievances with her, so the old lady had no reason to do this.
Unless, the old lady was instructed by someone!
Upon hearing Qiao Jing’s words, a look of sudden realization appeared on Qiao Lin's face.
She slapped her forehead, her tone somewhat irritated, “I was wondering why the old lady was so strange,
walking intoinstead of on a clear path—turns out she had bad intentions!”
“And to think | was worried about her falling—I didn’t expect her to be such a person. It’s really despicable!”
As soon as Qiao Lin finished speaking, Qiao Hong also expressed her indignation, “No wonder they say you can’t
judge a person by their appearance. Who would have thought an old lady like that would do something so low!”
The attendant saw that they couldn't produce the invitation for a long time, and his attitude immediately soured.
He said irritably, “If you can’t show the invitation, don’t join the fun!”
“This is Miss Zhan’s engagement banquet, not slow-profile gathering. Get out of here, don’t cause trouble!”
Upon hearing these words, Qiao Lin beceven more displeased.
It was said as if they were shamelessly trying to gatecrash for free food and drinks!
She snorted coldly and said through clenched teeth, “Didn't you hear us talking? It’s not that we don’t have an
invitation; it was stolen!”
Just as Qiao Lin finished speaking, Yang Xiaoxiao’s mocking voice cthrough.
“Who knows if what you're saying is true or not? You might have conspired with your sisters to put on a show
here to sneak inside.”
While speaking, Yang Xiaoxiao had already walked over.
Once she stopped, she gave Qiao Jing and the others a disdainful look and said to the attendant, “These three
are from a small family; they definitely weren't invited by the Zhan Family, so you can’t let them in.”
Upon hearing such inciting words, Qiao Lin was furious and glared hard at Yang Xiaoxiao, “Yang, are you going to
die if you don’t pick a fight every day?”
Qiao Hong also glared at Yang Xiaoxiao, angrily saying, “Yang Xiaoxiao, can you stop being so shameless? You
know we had an invitation, yet you still say such things!”
“What do you mean by ‘know’? Don’t make it sound like we're so close!”
Yang Xiaoxiao folded her arms
across her chest, her face full ohn
ridicule, ‘Besides, ifyotthatan
Rion ou would have shown it
by now. No need for this fake
performance!” The content is on

“The old lady who stole our invitation was arranged by you, wasn’t she?”
Initially silent, Qiao Jing suddenly spoke up coldly, her gaze icy as she looked at Yang Xiaoxiao, her brows filled
with a chilling aura.
The way she said it, although phrased as a question, was filled with confidence.
Since Yang Xiaoxiao had clashed with them multiple times before, she was the most likely person to do such a
thing.
Moreover, if Yang Xiaoxiao wasn’t up to something, how could she be so sure they couldn't produce the invitation
as soon as she arrived?
Faced with Qiao Jing’s sharp questioning, the guilty Yang Xiaoxiao becfurious out of embarrassment.
She glared at Qiao Jing and sneered,
“Qiao Lao San, stop spouting ot
nonsense here. What @it&tdR theft,
WRARoINady, | have no idea what
you're talking about! Don't try to
slander me!” The content is on

After speaking, Yang Xiaoxiao looked towards the attendant beside her, provoking, “This matter is serious, I'm
just kindly reminding you.”
“Today's the engagement banquet for
Miss Zhan; if things get Dlowp,aHh oF

“So, how you handle this is up to you!”
By this time, quite a few people had been drawn to the commotion, gathering at the banquet hall entrance and
discussing the scene.
“What's the argument about here? Does anyone know the situation?”
“It seems those three women can’t show an invitation, saying it was stolen, and the attendant is stopping them
from entering.”
“Yeah, then those three suspect that the woman who's currently yelling stole their invitation, so they're arguing.”
“Arguing like this at Miss Zhan’s engagement banquet entrance—these people really don’t regard the Zhan
Family at all!”
“Exactly, if they ruin Miss Zhan’s engagement banquet, the consequences could be severe!”
The attendant, influenced by Yang Xiaoxiao’s incitement and other people’s discussions, also felt that this matter
needed to be resolved immediately!
