Chapter 310 Aggressive
Chapter 310 Aggressive
Are they targeting her again? Who did she offend? Just because Li Dahai didn't have a prominent status, they took advantage of her and bullied her, thinking that she was a soft persimmon that anyone could bully.
In fact, you can come or not come with an invitation like this. If you come, it means you are interested in making friends, and if you don’t come, maybe you have something else to do. But bringing this matter up in the open makes it too obviously targeted.
"Oh, I remember now. I did receive an invitation before, but the restaurant happened to be opened that day, so I didn't go. It turns out it was you who sent it." Being accused in public, Li Xiaoxiao showed no guilt at all and said suddenly.
"It was sent by me. I heard that the girl is both talented and beautiful, so I wanted to make friends with her. But I didn't expect that I am really out of my league." Liu Yunyan said self-deprecatingly, but the provocation in her eyes was nakedly exposed in front of everyone.
"If anyone wants to marry someone above their station, it should be me. How can you say that about yourself?" Li Xiaoxiao showed a look of disapproval.
Hearing this, Liu Yunyan raised her head even higher and smiled smugly: "I dare not agree with you. I sent you an invitation but you didn't come. Doesn't that mean you don't want to be friends with me? I admit that I am not as pretty as you, nor as talented as you, but I am well-versed in poetry and books, so I naturally know how to interact with people. It is impolite not to reciprocate. I can't do such a thing anyway."
Everyone was originally chatting and laughing, but unexpectedly they started arguing. All their attention was focused on the two of them, and then they listened to the gossip with great interest, looking at Li Xiaoxiao, then at Liu Yunyan, as people who like to watch the fun never think it's too big a deal.
"Are you blaming me?" Li Xiaoxiao stood up, walked around Zhou Lingfei and came to the middle of the aisle.
Right at the top was Cheng Yuner's seat, with a row of tables on her left and a row of tables on her right, and in the middle was an aisle more than two meters wide.
Li Xiaoxiao stood tall and graceful in a white gauze dress, looking at Liu Yunyan with a frank and fearless gaze.
Seeing her like this, Liu Yunyan also stood up and looked at her from across the dining table.
"I have already said that I am well-read in poetry and books, so how can I blame you? I will only reflect on my own shortcomings. It is wrong to judge other people's right and wrong." Liu Yunyan looked straight at Li Xiaoxiao, showing no respect for her at all.
She is just a peasant girl. Even if her mother is the legitimate daughter of the Yong'an Marquisate, so what? It's just a title.
How dare she lose face by saying that the restaurant is open? Does it mean that the restaurant can't open without her? It's just a shop.
In fact, it makes sense if you think about it. It is of course a great joy for a peasant girl to open a shop. Thinking of this, Liu Yunyan sneered, and everyone else was a little confused.
"Oh, I get it. What you mean is that I don't want to be friends with you. If not friends, then enemies?" Li Xiaoxiao stood in the middle of the aisle, accepting the gazes of everyone present and still standing straight.
"Some things are just your guesses. That's not what I meant." Liu Yunyan said provocatively.
"Ling Fei, I want to ask you something." Li Xiaoxiao's gaze suddenly turned to Zhou Lingfei.
"You say." Zhou Lingfei wanted to stand up and speak for Li Xiaoxiao several times, but was stopped by Li Ruolan, who told her not to be impulsive.
Li Ruolan has been in contact with Li Xiaoxiao for a longer time and knows Li Xiaoxiao's temper very well. Back in Jiunu County, her grandparents were so arrogant and domineering, but they were finally subdued by Xiaoxiao. The other party just said a few words, and she believed that Xiaoxiao could fight back.
"I have only been in the capital for a short time, and I have only been to one of your banquets. I don't really understand these things, so I just want to ask if you usually invite a lot of people to your banquets?"
"Of course I will ask someone." Zhou Lingfei didn't know why she asked this, but she still told the truth.
"Then will the other party come to every post you send out?" Li Xiaoxiao asked again.
"How is that possible? I sent out ten tickets and it's good if eight people come. I'm free, but that doesn't mean others are free." Zhou Lingfei seemed to know what Li Xiaoxiao meant and deliberately added a sentence at the end.
"Then let me ask you again, if you don't come, will you also think that they look down on you and become their enemy?"
At the beginning, when Li Xiaoxiao asked Zhou Lingfei, everyone didn't know what she was going to do. Only when she asked this did they suddenly realize that Li Xiaoxiao was really smart.
"How is that possible? I have sent out countless invitations since I was a child. If I regard everyone who doesn't come as an enemy, then all the ladies in the capital will be my enemies. I will be so angry that I will die." Zhou Lingfei deliberately spoke loudly so that everyone present could hear.
The key point is that she is right. The ladies and ladies who came today all hold several banquets every year, flower-viewing banquets, birthday banquets, and various other reasons.
It's normal for some people not to come, but no one ever makes a fuss about this kind of thing because it's not a big deal at all.
"Oh, so that's the case. Then may I ask this lady, when you send out a message, does the recipient have to be present?" Li Xiaoxiao turned to look at Liu Yunyan again, with a determined look in his eyes.
Liu Yunyan was stunned. She didn't expect Li Xiaoxiao to do this. Her father was only a third-rank official, and the invitations he sent to these young ladies from official families were all to people of similar ranks.
For people like Zhou Lingfei and Cheng Yuner, she wanted to send them there, but could they come? The answer is of course no. People of different ranks have different circles. If you force your way up to them, will they pay attention to you?
Wang Xiaoyue and Zhang Qiaoxin were able to be close to Cheng Yuner because of their father's influence.
Liu Yunyan, who was originally so confident, now looked a little hot and murmured, "Of course not, but those who can come will come."
"If they don't come, will you ask them one by one? You have already said that it is rude not to reciprocate. Isn't that looking down on you? This is not okay." Li Xiaoxiao retorted with her original words.
"Well, I really have something to do." Liu Yunyan didn't know how to respond for a moment. She thought for a long time before coming up with this excuse.
The weather was still a little cold when the invitations were sent out, so half of the guests did not come. They were all of similar status and naturally could not be offended. Only Li Xiaoxiao was a peasant girl.
That was why she was so angry, thinking that Li Xiaoxiao looked down on her, and therefore she deliberately picked trouble today, wanting to embarrass her in public. She didn't expect that she would be so difficult to deal with, and she got herself into trouble by going around in circles.
If I had known she was so difficult, I would not have mentioned this matter, but it is too late to regret now.
"Other people don't have to go if they have something to do, but I have to go if I have something to do, otherwise it would be considered as looking down on you. May I ask, young lady, what is your reason? Is it because I am just a farm girl? That's why you are so aggressive." Li Xiaoxiao approached her step by step, until she walked to the front of her table and looked her in the eyes.
