Chapter 36. The Feast Begins
When the weekend came, Xi Xiaye did not wake up early because she had worked hard until the wee hours of 3 to 4 a.m. of the night before, preparing and arranging the details for the South River project. Once she got busy, she lost track of time.
By the time she woke up, it was already close to noon. Her phone that had been on silent showed that there were quite a few miss calls. They were from Su Nan, but she already knew what she had called for. Pondering for a while, she decided not to call back.
After she washed up and had breakfast, she changed and prepared to leave.
She dressed up as usual in her black top and black pants. On the outside, she wore a black mid-length windbreaker. With her jet-black head of shiny hair tumbling onto her shoulders, she looked very thin and frail as a whole.
When she left the house, it was a rare cloudy day and the wind was dry.
It was the 70th birthday of her grandfather, Xi Jiyang, so she had to go.
If anything in that huge house was worth her recalling fondly even just a little bit, it would be her grandfather.
Xi Jiyang loved her rather dearly. She had not been back to see him for quite a few years. Even though she knew she should not have done that, she had no choice. There were too many memories that she did not want to remember in that huge residence.
Yes, Xi Jiyang’s birthday banquet would be held in that huge house: West Park.
