Grandpa He coaxed in a low voice: Baby, be good!

Chapter 210: Preparing for the Banquet

The two little sisters just stood in front of the department store. The onlookers had not yet dispersed, and He Tianxiang on the ground made a humming sound from time to time.

Xiaomai pulled Xiyan's arm and rolled up her sleeves. It was okay, just a superficial wound. The blood had dried, leaving a red streak. Xiaomai wanted to wipe Xiyan with a tissue first, but was afraid of hurting her.

Just as she was hesitating, Bai Chen came over, "Who's injured? Where is he injured?"

"Here, Xi Yan is injured here." Xiaomai shouted hurriedly.

Bai Chen ran over with the first aid kit, and when he saw Xi Yan's arm, he almost fainted. Such a small injury made him run a long way. If he came later, the wound would have healed. He Lingting was used to ordering him around, and would trouble him for everything.

"Bai Chen, what are you looking at? Hurry up and clean Yanyan's wound." Xiaomai saw that Bai Chen was in a daze and urged him.

"There's no need to do anything about it! It's already scabbed over." Bai Chen said slowly.

"What's the scab? Hurry up, we have to disinfect it!"

"It needs to be disinfected. I'll do it right away." Bai Chen quickly opened the medicine box and took out the medicine to disinfect Xi Yan, but he kept complaining in his heart.

Bai Chen was treating Xi Yan's wound when He Lingting arrived. He ran to Xiaomai as soon as he got out of the car, pulled the little girl to look left and right, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that everything was fine.

"What's going on? Where are the people?" He Lingting asked with a frown.

Xiaomai recounted the whole cause and effect, and Bai Chen finally understood that there was another seriously injured person. When he first arrived, he paid attention to the two little girls and did not notice that there was a beggar lying on the ground among the crowd not far away.

He Lingting and Bai Chen walked over and everyone made way for them. The beggar on the ground occasionally groaned but could not get up. He Lingting kicked him and He Tianxiang turned over. His face was bruised and swollen, and blood was still flowing from the corners of his mouth. He held his stomach and groaned.

"Who hit him? It was too cruel." Bai Chen felt pain just watching it. The person who hit him really knew where to hit him, specifically the pain-sensitive areas. Although he couldn't cause serious injuries, he could still make people feel half dead.

He Lingting glared at Bai Chen, "What's going on? Is anyone going to die?"

"That's not possible. It's not even a serious injury."

"That's still too light, it should be more focused."

"Brother, what grudge does he have against you? And who did this? The method was too domineering!" Bai Chen really admired the person who did this.

"I beat him. He scratched Yanyan with a knife. If Yanyan is hurt, he must pay her back a hundred or a thousand times." Xiaomai admitted it herself, but she didn't think she was wrong.

"Sister-in-law, it was really you who hit me. Do you know any acupuncture points on the human body? Let's discuss it later." Bai Chen tried to please Xiaomai like a baby who was eager to learn.

He Lingting's face darkened, "Chen, do you want to practice?"

"No, no, no, little sister, let's talk some other time." Bai Chen looked at He Lingting's icy face and quickly moved away from Xiaomai, who looked confused.

"Baby, what do you want to do with him?" He Lingting came over and touched Xiaomai's head and asked.

"I don't know either, so I called you here." Xiaomai said, shaking her head.

"I think it's quite hard for him to wander around outside, so let's send him directly in to reunite with his family!" He Lingting thought for a moment and came to his conclusion.

"I think it's okay. It will prevent him from attacking people with a knife again. Besides, they provide food inside."

Bai Chen secretly wiped his sweat on the side. This couple is really a perfect match! Beating someone half to death and sending him to jail, and even saying it as if he was being nice to him, how cold-hearted and sinister.

He Lingting dealt with the things here and asked Xiaomai: "Are you going back?"

"No, I just came out and went shopping with Xi Yan before going home."

"Okay, go and have fun! I'll pick you up in the evening. I'm going to the company first." He Lingting hugged Xiao Ya, kissed her, then turned and left.

Xi Yan and Xiao Ma went shopping. They didn't separate until around four or five in the afternoon. Xi Yan went back to Xu Chen's place, and He Ting took Xiao Ma and drove home.

On the way, Xiaomai received a call from her mother and happily answered it, "Mom."

"Hey, Xiaomai! Mom and Dad want to discuss something with you." Sun Meng said straight to the point.

"What is it? Tell me!"

"Your father and I want to hold a banquet to officially announce that you are our lost daughter. Don't worry, your grandmother is very supportive. It's been such a long time since you and Ling Ting got married. You are about to graduate now, and it's time to discuss marriage. We want you to marry with the halo of the daughter of the Lu family."

"Mom, I don't think it's necessary. I live my own life and I don't care what others think."

"But, you are obviously the daughter of our Lu family. Mom doesn't like to see others pointing fingers at you and laughing at you for being an orphan. Mom regrets not keeping an eye on you back then!" Sun Meng said, and she became sad when she recalled the past.

"Mom, mom, I agree. Let's not be sad, okay?"

"Okay, okay, okay. Your father and I will make the arrangements. You just need to come back when the time comes."

"Okay, it's up to you."

"Okay, goodbye, daughter." Sun Meng achieved her goal and hung up the phone happily.

Xiaomai hung up the phone and looked at He Lingting helplessly, "Uncle, Mom wants to arrange a family reunion banquet."

"You agreed."

"Well, I'm worried they're not happy."

"Are you happy then?" He Lingting asked while holding the little girl's hand.

"Of course I am happy, they are all doing this for my own good."

"Then go." He Lingting took the little girl's hand and kissed it.

On the other hand, the Lu family in the neighboring city was busy booking the venue, inviting guests, sending invitations, decorating the banquet hall, and dressing her daughter. She did everything herself. Although she was tired, she was very happy because her daughter was finally going to return to her roots.

The old man of the Lu family is still alive and has been living with the second uncle and second aunt of the Lu family. When Lu's father found Xiaomai, they did not tell relatives about Xiaomai before getting Xiaomai's consent. The main reason was that they were worried about their daughter's safety. After all, what happened that year was still vivid in their minds.

When Mr. Lu sent the invitations to the second son's family, he did not specify what the party was. The old man was just curious. Ever since his eldest daughter-in-law lost her daughter, she had been unhappy and busy with her career, yet she was holding a party today. The other friends were also very curious.

Xiaomai would occasionally call and ask Sun Meng, "Mom, do you need me to prepare anything?"

The answer given by my parents is always, "As long as the person comes back, you don't need to prepare anything."

But He Lingting was not idle. He was also preparing intensively, hoping to add some heat to the banquet...
