Chapter 959: Chapter 957: Didn’t Even Spare Her a Glance (1)

...

The next morning, after waking up and getting washed, Xia Wan’an headed to the dining room out of habit. Like always, she expected to find a thermos on the table containing steaming hot congee.

But to her surprise, the table was empty.

Xia Wan’an furrowed her brows and went to the kitchen. After checking every pot and pan, she confirmed that Han Jingnian truly hadn’t prepared breakfast for her this morning.

Ever since she had been living here, as long as they were home, she could always count on waking up to congee cooked by his own hands... Today was truly an exception. Could it be that there was some sort of emergency this morning, leaving no time to cook congee?

After eating her fill, Xia Wan’an picked up her phone to check the time, and it was almost noon... Just as she thought about heading home to catch up on sleep, her eyes caught the date.

The 21st... On the 21st of every month, it was the day the Han Family matriarch held her tea party, attended by women who had close relations with the Han Family.

She had accompanied the old lady to a few of these events before, but she never found interest in the scene of these high-society ladies chatting. She would fall asleep every time she attended, and eventually, the old lady, seeing her lack of interest, stopped insisting on her attendance.

However, Lu Yangui, having married into the Han Family for so many years, never missed a monthly tea party hosted by the old lady, come rain or shine.

The person who had pressured Lu Yangui into drugging Han Jingnian with a video of her talking to Xia Wan’an had failed to succeed and definitely would not let the matter rest. But such a matter was just gossip and posed no threat to business, so the tea party was undoubtedly the most suitable place for exposure...

That place was all women, and women inherently love to gossip. By the end of the day, Lu Yangui’s deeds would be the talk of the town... Xia Wan’an had already talked Han Jingnian down, but as for the Han Family matriarch... If she became aware of the various things Lu Yangui had done, there was no telling what kind of scene it would cause.

Xia Wan’an propped her cheek with one hand, tilted her head, and thought for a while. Then she recalled a few days ago when the Han Family matriarch had said she wanted to watch a play, and she had responded with an offer to accompany her when she had the time. So, she picked up her phone and made a call to the Han Family matriarch.

After picking up the phone, the old lady, upon hearing her suggestion to go watch a play together, regretfully declined, saying that there was a tea party to attend that afternoon. Xia Wan’an pretended to be very considerate, assuring her it was okay, that they could make plans another time. Then, before hanging up, she added that it might have to wait a while... As Xia Wan’an had anticipated, upon hearing this, the old lady asked if she was free that afternoon to attend her tea party.

This was exactly what Xia Wan’an had hoped for. She deliberately used a tone of suppressed excitement to ask the old lady if she really could go?

The old lady immediately asked where she was, and then said she would send someone to pick her up shortly.

When the Han Family matriarch said "someone" would come get her, it turned out to be her in person. In the car, besides her, there was also the old mansion’s chauffeur and Lu Yangui, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

After getting in the car, Xia Wan’an paid special attention to Lu Yangui and noticed that in just the short span of two or three days, Lu Yangui appeared much more haggard.

Upon arriving at the tea party, Xia Wan’an, the Han Family matriarch, and Lu Yangui had just gotten out of the car when a warm voice came through: "Grandma Han..."
