Chapter 78: This Matter Is Very Strange

Zhong Xiaohui: “The invitation list for Li Tianxin’s birthday banquet has been announced. It’s now firmly at the top of the trending searches.”

Jiang Youyi: “Her father is in politics. Why is a young lady’s birthday party so high-profile?”

Zhong Xiaohui said, “But her mother’s family has been in business for generations. She likes to be high-profile.”

Jiang Youyi asked, “What did you mean by the invitation list just now?”

Zhong Xiaohui sent her a link to Weibo. Sure enough, Jiang Youyi saw her name on the list. The list said that the Li family had invited a total of 60 people to this birthday banquet, 30 men and 30 women.

Jiang Youyi’s name was on the first page, and it was very eye-catching.

Jiang Youyi: “Could there be someone else called Jiang Youyi in Ocean City?”

Zhong Xiaohui: “You’re probably not the only one called Jiang Youyi, but you’re the only one who’s qualified to attend Miss Li’s birthday party, Third Miss Jiang.”

Jiang Youyi fell silent. She glanced at the name list again and actually saw Bai Bing’s name in the first row.

The name Bai Bing sounded familiar to her. Although she had never met this woman before, she was a little curious about this person.

The program that Mrs. Xu participated in was hosted by Bai Bing. After the incident, she had a vague feeling that this matter was definitely not Mrs. Xu’s doing alone. However, she was also very puzzled. She had never seen Miss Bai before. Could it be that she had a grudge against the entire Jiang family? Otherwise, why would she join forces with Mrs. Xu to defame her?

Jiang Youyi would never believe that it was just a coincidence. She had never believed in coincidences.

Jiang Youyi originally planned to pretend not to see this invitation and not attend the banquet. However, now that the invitation list had been announced, she had no choice but to go. If the media found out that she didn’t go, they would make a big fuss. At that time, she would offend the wife of the City Secretary, the first lady of Ocean City.

Zhong Xiaohui asked, “Have you seen the list of boys?”

Jiang Youyi: “No, why?”

Zhong Xiaohui said, “They even invited Xu Yuning and Lu Yunxiao.

This banquet is so awesome. Why didn’t they invite me?”

Zhong Xiaohui’s family background wasn’t worse than the Jiang family’s. It was indeed strange that Jiang Youyi was invited and she wasn’t.

Jiang Youyi said, “Our family isn’t considered rich in Ocean City. Moreover, I’m not Second Sister. It’s quite strange to invite me.”

Zhong Xiaohui: “No, no, no. I completely understand why they invited you. Recently, you’ve been on the trending searches on Weibo much more frequently than your second sister. Moreover, the person who’s trending searches with you is the richest man in Ocean City, Lu Yunxiao!”

Jiang Youyi: “Hehe, I’m upset at the mention of him. It’s fine if this trending topic doesn’t appear.”

Zhong Xiaohui: “In that case, you have to go to this banquet, right?”

Jiang Youyi: “That’s right. 1 have to go.”

After chatting with Zhong Xiaohui, Jiang Youyi started to think about something else. Even a woman’s unique sixth sense told her that this banquet seemed to have been specially prepared for her.

Of course, thinking like this might be a little self-righteous, but this matter was really a little abnormal.

First of all, with the Jiang family’s status in Ocean City, Jiang Youyi was not qualified to attend the birthday banquet of the daughter of the Communist Party Secretary. If she could be invited as Xu Yuning’s fiancee in the past, it would be understandable. However, everyone in Ocean City knew that the two of them had broken off the engagement.

Secondly, Jiang Youyi wanted to pretend that she didn’t see the invitation. After all, they had invited so many people. Even if she didn’t go, she wouldn’t be discovered. Yet before night fell, someone announced the invitation list online. Her name was still on the first page. Now, everyone in Ocean City had probably seen these 60 names, which made her very passive. She was a little forced. After all, no one wanted to offend Mrs. Li for no reason.

Also, her mother said that the Li family had also invited her second sister, but her name was not on the invitation list. If the Li family had contacted her second sister in advance and asked her if she could participate, and after knowing that she was going to walk the red carpet and could not come back, so they removed her second sister’s name from the invitation list, why did they not call her? Hence, Jiang Youyi directly rejected this possibility.

In the end, Bai Bing’s name in the first row could not be more obvious. Previously, it had also been confirmed that Mrs. Xu’s appearance on her interview program was not a coincidence. Although Jiang Youyi really could not remember how she or the Jiang family had offended this person, she had appeared in front of her several times. This matter was very strange..
