C256 Subtle Invitation
"Mom, Brother-in-law is right. My Sis is already such a big person, you can't keep thinking about taking her place to control her. She's not your personal property!"
Lin Xiaowan also spoke up in support of Ning Yi and Lin Muxue.
"That's right, I also think what Ning Yi said is not a problem. Even though our family is in a difficult situation, we definitely can't sacrifice our daughter!"
Lin Ann also opened his mouth and spoke with a stern face. He found that his wife was getting more and more out of hand when it came to handling matters and making decisions.
"Alright, now that all of you are teaming up to bully me and want to ride on my head, isn't that so!?"
"All of you, get out!"
Lee Lan widened her eyes as she yelled.
However, Ning Yi, Lin Muxue, Lin Xiaowan, and Lin Ann were all firmly seated on chairs, not a single one of them moving.
"Your wings are already hard, right? If you don't want to leave, then I'll go! "
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Lee Lan felt a great sense of embarrassment. After that, she flew out of the room in a fit of rage and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
"Ning Yi, you …"
"No need for that, I know it."
Lin Muxue had an apologetic look on her face and was about to comfort Ning Yi again, but the latter gave her an understanding look, indicating that she didn't take it too seriously.
"How about, you guys go out and get Mom back. If something happens, then that wouldn't be good."
Although Ning Yi was constantly scolded by Lee Lan, he was still his mother-in-law after all. If he were to run out, he would be very excited, but he didn't care about Lee Lan's life. However, Lin Muxue and Lin Xiaowan would be very sad.
Therefore, at this time, he could only be a peacemaker. Ignoring the past, he was the first to speak.
"Humph!" I'm not going! "
Lin Xiaowan angrily turned her face away.
"Hey, Ning Yi, I'll go out and look for it myself!"
Lin Muxue also knew her sister's temper. Besides, if Lee Lan saw Ning Yi now, it would only add fuel to the fire. Therefore, she could only go out and look for him on her own.
"En, alright, give me a call if you have any news!"
Ning Yi nodded slightly.
"I'll go too!"
Lin Ann followed her sentence and went out with Lin Muxue.
Only Ning Yi and Lin Xiaowan were left at home. Ning Yi spent a lot of effort before he managed to coax Lin Xiaowan a little better. After all, what Lee Lan said today was a bit too much.
"Ding dong!" "Ding dong!"
At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang. Lin Muxue and Lee Lan both had keys, so it definitely wouldn't be their return.
"Who is it?"
Ning Yi asked in confusion.
"Is that Mr. Ning Yi?" We have your express delivery here, please sign it and accept it! "
"Oh, it's here, it's here!"
Ning Yi knew that the invitation had arrived. He quickly opened the door and saw a perspiring, panting express delivery boy holding a small box. He explained to Ning Yi with an apologetic expression:
"Sir, I'm really sorry. This package should have been delivered into your hands yesterday, but my electric car broke down and I just repaired it today. I'm really sorry!"
The courier delivery man was trembling as he apologized. He carefully looked at Ning Yi's face, afraid that he would be scolded badly.
"Oh, so that's how it is. It's not easy for brothers who are fine. Thank god you're suffering!"
Ning Yi smiled kindly, patted his shoulder and gave him a bottle of water.
"Many thanks, big brother. I won't say anymore. I still have a package to send off!"
"Hurry up and leave, be careful on the road!"
Looking at the departing figure of the courier boy, Ning Yi seemed to see himself, who was relying on the take-out snack from before. For a moment, he could not help but feel emotional.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Brother-in-law, what are you thinking about?
It seemed that girls were interested in shopping and receiving express delivery. Lin Xiaowan was naturally very excited to see Ning Yi buy an online shopping spree for the first time.
"Haha, you'll know once you open it!"
Ning Yi took a casual glance. The sender's address and phone number were both blank, only the location of the sender had a simple "Ning" written on it. Seeing this, Ning Yi was even more sure that this was the invitation Steward Ning sent him.
"Eh? What kind of good stuff is this? The protective gear is so thick! "
While Ning Yi was talking, Lin Xiaowan had already started to take them apart. Under the thin delivery box, there were layers upon layers of foam bubbles.
"Wah!" What a beautiful box! "
With great effort, Lin Xiaowan finally ripped apart the layers of protection, revealing a small rectangular box inside. Her low-key, stable, and carbon-black appearance, as well as numerous bright golden patterns and decorative ties, revealed a noble and elegant air.
"Tch!" What is this? After such a great effort, there was actually a broken card inside? And your name, Brother-in-law? "
Looking at the contents of the box, Lin Xiaowan was immediately disappointed. It was just a black card with the same style as the one on the outside, the material used to grind black sand, the patterns and fonts used to scald gold, and a small black card.
"Hahaha, since you look down on this little card, then give it to me!"
Ning Yi laughed as he took the invitation from Lin Xiaowan's cell phone.
Actually, it wasn't Lin Xiaowan's fault for not recognizing the goods. It was just that their invitation had been too "low-key and luxurious with a bit of connotation".
A card that was a size smaller than his palm had his name written on it. It didn't even have a time and place on it. It looked like it was a piece of old scrap paper that no one had picked up even after throwing it on the street.
If Ning Yi didn't know what he was going to do, he would probably be confused.
"Brother-in-law, quickly tell me, what is this thing used for?"
Seeing Ning Yi's expression, Lin Xiaowan realized that this card might not be as simple as she thought.
"Hahaha, you don't know this, right? Tonight, it all depends on whether or not I can enter the royal ball!"
Ning Yi waved the small black card in his hand and explained to Lin Xiaowan.
"What?" Brother-in-law, are you for real? Are you saying that this thing is the wine party's invitation? "
Lin Xiaowan's eyes widened in shock.
"Other than issuing invitations to some family forces, there was no private party. Brother-in-law, you couldn't have been cheated, right?"0
Lin Xiaowan found it hard to believe when she saw the small, unassuming black card.
