They were led to a large garden, which was filled with various precious flowers and plants. Across the garden was a reception room. The sound of leisurely music could be heard, and it seemed that someone was dancing on the dance floor.

The few of them walked cautiously into the garden, where various things that they all thought were precious were placed, and guests in groups of three or four were chatting and laughing while holding glasses of wine.

They, who used to be the most suitable for such occasions, seemed to have become the kind of country bumpkins they looked down upon the most.

Shen Baihong took a deep breath, raised his hand and called a servant to serve drinks, and each family member took a glass of wine of a different color.

Shen Baihong wanted to find a few people he knew, but when he looked up, he didn't recognize almost any of them. After looking around, he finally saw someone he knew. He took just two steps, but the person walked away to talk to other people as if he didn't know him.

Shen Baihong stood there awkwardly, and Shen Zifan rolled his eyes. He said he wouldn't come but insisted on coming. Didn't he deserve to be humiliated?

Huang Yanan came over to ease Shen Baihong's embarrassment and said softly, "Let's go inside. Xiao Qiao should be inside. We haven't seen Xiao Qiao for many days. She must miss us."

Shen Baihong nodded, glanced in the direction of the man just now, and a hint of pride appeared on his face. What a narrow-minded person! After they reconcile with the Chi family, they will be in trouble!

In the eyes of Shen Baihong and Huang Yanan, the fact that the Chi family was willing to send them this invitation letter was a signal that they were unwilling to make enemies with them.

Since they don't want to make enemies, they have to save face. Therefore, the Chi family will not only not suppress them, but also repay Chi Qiao for their upbringing and give them some help.

"You stay here first."

Shen Baihong looked back at Shen Tang. They brought Shen Tang here to meet Rong Yu, but they didn't want her to go to Chi Qiao and bring up those bad memories.

Shen Tang nodded gloomily, and Shen Baihong and Huang Yanan straightened their backs and took Shen Zifan through the garden and went straight to the reception room.

The living room is very large, but not magnificent. It is low-key and restrained. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the things inside are priceless.

Shen Baihong is also a person who has seen a lot of good things, but he still stared with his eyes wide open. The big family is worthy of being a big family. I don’t know which dynasty or generation these things were passed down from.

Soon, they saw Chi Qiao surrounded by the ladies. Huang Yanan and Shen Baihong exchanged glances, raised their heads and walked over.

Some of the ladies surrounding Chi Qiao were also following Chi Qiao's live broadcast and were her fans, while others had a good relationship with the Chi family and wanted to meet the little granddaughter of the Chi family.

Chi Qiao was overwhelmed by their questions. Fortunately, her mother Chi was there to answer many of them for her. However, when it came to metaphysics live broadcasts and the like, her mother Chi was unable to help.

When they were chatting happily, someone coughed at the back. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a noble lady covered in jewels.

There were a few who didn't know Huang Yanan and looked puzzled, but there were also a few who recognized her, and their strong interest in Chi Qiao turned into the fun of watching Huang Yanan's show.

"Xiao Qiao, I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you doing?"

Huang Yanan walked forward and held Chi Qiao's hand with concern, like a loving mother who cares for her daughter.

Chi Qiao pulled his hand out and smiled, "It's fine."

Although the original body was not treated harshly in the Shen family, Shen's father and mother were not the kind of people who loved their children very much. They were busy with the company and never even attended the original body's birthday. They also said that if it weren't for his hard work to earn money, the original body would not have the money to hold a birthday party.

The other was busy showing off in the circle of wealthy ladies, what new products she bought today, and what beauty treatments she had tomorrow. Neither of them cared about the children, and even when the original body and Shen Zifan had a conflict, they were too lazy to ask what happened. It was always the original body who got scolded and apologized.

But it can't be said that they were bad to the original body. At least before Shen Tang came, they had never lacked food and clothing for the original body. Maybe they were not short of money, so they didn't mind if the original body spent a little.

However, all the love and friendship were buried at the bottom of the river when the original body was driven out of the Shen family and jumped off the Huijiao Bridge.

Chi Qiao didn't know if her original body would still have a mother-daughter relationship with Huang Yanan if she was still alive, but she really looked down on Huang Yanan's actions. So at this time, her attitude towards Huang Yanan was neither good nor bad, and her smile was tinged with indifference and alienation.

Huang Yanan was a little embarrassed by Chi Qiao's unfamiliarity, but this embarrassment was fleeting. She had expected Chi Qiao to be angry, so she just needed to coax him. So she put on a smile again and wanted to say something else, but Chi's mother took over the conversation.

"This is Mrs. Shen, right?"

Huang Yanan looked over in confusion and nodded. Mother Chi then extended her hand and said, "Hello, I am Xiao Qiao's biological mother, Xie Yijun."

Huang Yanan was flattered and quickly shook hands with Xie Yijun.

After they talked for a while, Chi Qiao felt bored and quietly left. Huang Yanan saw this and wanted to chase after him, but Xie Yijun kept smiling at her and seemed to have a good attitude, so she was too lazy to chase after Chi Qiao to maintain their relationship, because it would be the same if she caught Xie Yijun anyway.

However, Xie Yijun felt even colder about Huang Yanan's materialism. If Huang Yanan had a little bit of true love for their daughter, she would look up to her.

Even though the daughter was not the biological daughter of the Shen family, they had raised her for eighteen years, but she did not expect that there was no mother-daughter relationship at all. Xie Yijun was also a mother, and she really could not understand Huang Yanan, who did not take her child seriously.

Chi Qiao was bored and found an empty seat to sit down. He looked up and saw Grandma Chi talking to her old friends not far away. Chi Qiao had excellent hearing and listened carefully. It turned out that Grandma Chi was proudly talking about what she had done in the past two days, such as catching ghosts and collecting souls. Grandma Chi made her talk about it in a thrilling and profound way.

Chi Qiao was speechless after listening to this. He didn't realize that Grandma Chi also had a talent for storytelling. He didn't know if this could be considered Grandma Chi's occupational disease. After all, her previous job was to deal with people with words.

Just when Chi Qiao was finding it funny, two people walked towards her, one was a Chinese beauty with long hair, and the other was a handsome man in a wheelchair.

But the beauty was in front, and she sat down next to Chi Qiao when the man was five meters away from him.

"Are you used to living with grandma?"

This beauty is the eldest daughter of the Chi family, the original body's elder sister, Chi Qing. At this time, she also followed Chi Qiao's line of sight and looked towards Grandma Chi, with a bit of complaint and helplessness in her tone, "Grandma is good at everything, but she doesn't allow people to sleep in."

Chi Qiao didn't feel anything about this, because she got up earlier than Grandma Chi every day. But thinking about Chi Chuan and Lu Ming, they both got up around eight o'clock, so she didn't have the chance to see how Grandma Chi didn't let people sleep in.
