The Young Matriarch

Qi Yue clutched her face and screamed, overcome with excitement, “My vision has been restored, I… my vision is 5.3! Brother, brother, can we test my vision just one more time? Just once!”

Standing in front of the eye chart, the tall man holding a long stick appeared slightly helpless.

“Yueyue, you’ve already tested almost ten times…”

Only those who have been nearsighted know the dread of an eye chart, and Qi Yue was among them; once she removed her thick glasses, she couldn’t even make out the letters at the top clearly.

Now, however, she could see even the smallest row at the bottom with perfect clarity. The whole world had brightened, and she could bid farewell to those ugly glasses once and for all!

She wished she could hug the eye chart and give it a few big kisses.

Qi Mo watched his sister with resignation and started coughing with his head down.

Qi Yue quickly said, “Brother, why don’t you let my goddess check on your illness? Her medical skills are amazing.”

Qi Mo shook his head and, still coughing, walked upstairs. Qi Yue followed after him like a little shadow, still nagging, “Brother, the Duan Family sent an invitation to their banquet today; aren’t you going with me?”

“You going is enough, I have important things to take care of today.” Qi Mo picked up some documents, his slender fingers flipping through the pages.

Qi Yue stuck out her tongue in protest, “Brother, what’s with this unfortunate elder of yours? Last time he made you cancel Duan Xiuqi’s endorsement, and now he wants you to chat with Duan Xiuqi… I’m going back to my room to change clothes and attend the banquet.”

Qi Yue didn’t finish her words when she caught the chilly look in Qi Mo’s eyes and hastily ran off.

Qi Mo looked at the documents, shaking his head in resignation, “The old ancestor has really gone out of his way to avoid Duan Xiuqi.”

He actually wanted him to use work negotiations as an excuse to keep Duan Xiuqi tied up and prevent him from attending the banquet…

“Chuwei, didn’t you say you could also attend the Duan Family’s banquet? Should I give you a lift?” At the gate of the Bai Family villa, Bai Yinyin stood with one hand on her hip, pompous as a peacock in full display, asking with a sarcasm-laden chuckle.

Bai Chuwei responded indifferently, “No need, we’ll go separately.”

Bai Yinyin’s heart gave a scornful snort, Bai Chuwei still pretending!

Clearly, she couldn’t attend because she didn’t have an invitation.

Though Bai Yinyin’s invitation was obtained through Di Zongping, she was at least able to get in. What was Bai Chuwei doing? Bluffing?

Pretending to be oblivious, Bai Yinyin insisted on pulling Bai Chuwei into the car very cordially, but a round, white-furred hamster poked half of its body out of Bai Chuwei’s pocket, its sapphire eyes staring at Bai Yinyin and starting to squeak.

Bai Yinyin’s face turned ghostly white as she screamed and rushed into the car, “——Such a fat rat! Drive, quick!”

Bai Chuwei, this madwoman, couldn’t get into the Duan Family banquet and had been called out by her, so in a fit of pique, she used a rodent to frighten her!

Bai Chuwei pressed Xue Qiu back into her pocket and walked ahead calmly with her long legs, soon disappearing from sight.

It took another fifteen minutes to arrive at the entrance of the Duan Family banquet.

The who’s who of Haicheng had almost all arrived, with the young masters and ladies dressed in complicated and expensive outfits, showing their invitations and entering together.

As Bai Chuwei approached the entrance, the greeter was dazzled by her and quickly bowed, “Are you Miss Bai? The Fourth Young Master specifically instructed for you to be let in. Please, come in.”

The onlookers were shocked to see Bai Chuwei walk in unhindered, without even showing an invitation.

Who exactly was she? To be able to enter without an invitation.

No sooner had Bai Chuwei entered than Bai Yinyin’s car arrived.

Her heart pounding wildly, she handed over her invitation with both hands, and the greeter invited her inside.

Bai Yinyin walked into the banquet, looking back at the exterior with eyes shining with excited anticipation.

This door represented the gap between her and Bai Chuwei!

One could enter, while the other could never cross the threshold, just like a moat separating heaven and earth!
