Chapter 283 - 282 Zhao Family Banquet
After dinner, Zhao Xuefen started to call the relatives. However, the responses she got were all the same, they already had plans and told her not to bother.
Zhao Xuefen’s face was full of disappointment; these relatives still treated her as if she were a snake or scorpion.
After three in the afternoon, Zhao Xuefen’s aunt called, telling them to get ready for a gathering at the Sheraton in the evening. During the call, she specifically mentioned Su Ping and Su Yang, insisting that the father and son also make sure to come.
Su Yang actually didn’t want to get involved in these matters, but seeing Zhao Xuefen’s pitiable look, he eventually agreed. After all, Zhao Xuefen had suffered a lot over the years following Su Ping.
Su Yang was fair in his dealings. It didn’t matter that Zhao Xuefen wasn’t nice to him, after all, she was his stepmother, and he had been no angel in the past, often causing trouble at home.
However, Zhao Xuefen was good to Su Ping, and Su Yang remembered that. Although he generally couldn’t be bothered with Zhao Xuefen, he would still help her out if she needed it.
At six thirty in the evening, Zhao Xuefen, neatly dressed, led Su Ping, Su Yang, and Su Xia to the Sheraton.
Chen Fei was in the provincial capital and couldn’t come back; the project she was working on had reached a critical moment and she couldn’t leave.
Chen Zhien took advantage of the holiday to go out sketching. In fact, he was now rarely seen under the same roof as Su Yang.
The Sheraton in Nanluo City was considered a high-end hotel, where a meal costing a few thousand yuan was quite normal.
Standing at the entrance to the Sheraton, Zhao Xuefen couldn’t help but feel emotional. In the past, she could only listen to others talk about this place; she had never had the means to enter. Now, coming here, she felt no panic at all.
