Chapter 494: A Triumph of Pride!
The person who prompted Xia Ying to send a WeChat message is named Li Yan.
Although they have rarely been in contact since starting university, they still have a good relationship because they grew up together.
Li Yan replied quickly.
Yes, what's wrong?
Xia Ying first exchanged pleasantries with Li Yan for a while, and then told Li Yan about Xu's mother's upcoming birthday.
Li Yan readily agreed: "Okay, see you on Wednesday then."
It was Xu's mother's birthday, and Xu Tao's uncle was also there.
Li Yan had already heard from Xia's parents that Xia Ying had married quite well, as Xu Tao's uncle was somewhat powerful.
It's always good to build a good relationship with Xia Ying now.
after all.
Multiple friends have multiple roads.
Xia Ying was thrilled to see Li Yan's reply.
She knew it.
Li Yan wouldn't refuse.
Because Li Yan is different from Jiang Ning and Ma Zhaodi.
Li Yan is her true friend.
Xia Ying immediately replied: 【Okay, see you there!】
After discussing this matter with Li Yan, Xia Ying contacted another friend.
Xia Ying had already made up her mind. Since her mother-in-law liked lively celebrations, she was determined to make this birthday party a grand and festive affair.
Let the elderly enjoy themselves to the fullest.
She promised to have her two friends come to celebrate her mother's birthday, and she would never break her promise.
Not long after.
Xu Tao also went back to his room. He smiled and looked at Xia Ying, "Wife, have you contacted your friends? Are they coming?"
“It’s all arranged,” Xia Ying nodded. “Both of them are coming.”
Xia Ying didn't mention that it wasn't Jiang Ning and Ma Zhaodi who came because she felt it was unnecessary to say so.
Moreover, she now only feels unlucky when Jiang Ning and Ma Zhaodi are mentioned.
Anyway, her in-laws just like a lively atmosphere, so it's fine as long as two of her friends come to celebrate her mother-in-law's birthday; it doesn't matter who those two people are.
Upon hearing this answer, Xu Tao was extremely excited, "Really, honey?"
“Of course it’s true,” Xia Ying nodded. “I’ve already made all the arrangements.”
Xu Tao continued, "Then I'll go tell my parents right away and tell them to prepare properly. They can't neglect your friends."
Seeing how much Xu Tao valued his friends, Xia Ying was touched again and quickly said, "Actually, there's no need to make a big fuss. It's just the two of them. We'll just treat them the way we usually do!"
Xu Tao quickly waved his hand and said, word by word, "No, no, your friends are coming to celebrate Mom's birthday, so our family naturally has to make it a grand affair. Only in this way can we show how much our family values you. Otherwise, your friends will think that our family doesn't take you seriously!"
Who is Jiang Ning?
She's a real female boss.
If they don't hold a grand celebration, wouldn't they be neglecting their distinguished guests?
After all, Jiang Ning came here to give a luxury house as a birthday gift.
Hearing this, Xia Ying was even more moved!
She knew that her choice was correct.
The Xu family are all good people!
After saying this, Xu Tao continued, "Wife, I'll go tell Mom and Dad first and tell them to get ready."
Xia Ying originally wanted to stop Xu Tao, but Xu Tao insisted on going, so she could only respect his decision.
That's good too.
This will show Li Yan and Wang Xiuxiu how much the Xu family values her!
No one knows how happy Xia Ying is at this moment!
--
Over the next few days, Xia Ying prepared for her mother-in-law's birthday. In order to please her mother-in-law, Xia Ying specially spent 20,000 yuan to buy a gold necklace for her.
Xia Ying is not ignorant of social etiquette.
Although Xu Tao said she didn't need to buy it, she still had to buy what she needed to buy.
Since Xu's parents have been so good to her, she naturally wants to find a way to repay them.
She's not an ingrate.
soon.
It's Wednesday now.
It's Xu's mother's birthday.
The Xu family specially booked a high-end five-star restaurant, with two large tables of guests.
Xu's mother, dressed in gold and silver and looking radiant, was entertaining guests.
Xia Ying received WeChat messages from Li Yan and Wang Xiuxiu. She walked over to Xu's mother and said, "Mom, my two friends have arrived. I'm going downstairs to greet them."
Mother Xu nodded, her face beaming, and said, "Go quickly!"
Xia Ying turned and walked out of the private room.
As soon as Xia Ying left, a middle-aged woman in a cheongsam came to Xu's mother's side and said with a smile, "Zhizhi's aunt, congratulations! I heard that a very important person is coming to celebrate your birthday today?"
The middle-aged woman was none other than Xu Tao's aunt, Zhang Nan.
Xu's mother turned to Zhang Nan and said, "Sister-in-law, don't listen to people's nonsense. What big shot or not? She's just Xia Ying's good friend, Mrs. Shen."
Xia Ying's good friend, Mrs. Shen?
Xu's mother spoke casually, but Zhang Nan's eyes immediately changed, and she asked incredulously, "Is it Shi Sheng, the chief CEO of the Shi Group?"
Jiang Ning is not only Mrs. Shen, the head of the Shi Group, and the head of Jidong Games...
She has many other identities; she is a true female boss.
"Yes." Mrs. Xu nodded.
Zhang Nan said in disbelief, "Really? Xia Ying is actually good friends with Mrs. Shen? How come I've never heard you mention this before?"
Mrs. Xu looked helpless. "It's all because our Tao Tao is too low-key and doesn't want to make this a public spectacle. If Mrs. Shen hadn't insisted on coming to celebrate my birthday, we wouldn't have known that Xia Ying and Mrs. Shen are actually good friends."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Nan's face was filled with shock.
No wonder.
No wonder Liu Lanzhi, who always had very high standards, could take a liking to the impoverished Xia family.
So that's the reason!
Zhang Nan glanced around the private room and then asked, "Where's Xia Ying?"
Mrs. Xu continued, "She went downstairs to pick up Mrs. Shen."
Zhang Nan was a little doubtful again, "Zhizhi's aunt, are you sure your Xia Ying's good friend is Miss Shi? Don't you think you've got the wrong person? There are so many people here today, it would be embarrassing if you made a fool of yourself!"
Upon hearing this, everyone else looked at Xu's mother.
After all, that's Jiang Ning...
If Jiang Ning really comes to celebrate Xu's mother's birthday, then the Xu family is truly on the verge of great success.
Mrs. Xu naturally understood what Zhang Nan meant, and patted her chest, saying, "Don't worry, there's no mistake. Xia Ying's good friend is Mrs. Shen! Besides, haven't you all seen Mrs. Shen on TV? When Mrs. Shen arrives, you'll know I'm not bragging."
Today she finally got to hold her head high.
After Xia Ying brings Jiang Ning to the private room, these people will probably be very envious of her!
downstairs.
Xia Ying had already picked up Li Yan and Wang Xiuxiu. As they walked towards the private room, she said, "Yan Yan and Xiuxiu, my parents-in-law specially chose this place to celebrate their birthdays today to welcome you two! They'll be very happy to see you two when we get into the private room."
