Mother Rong looked at her with a complicated expression. “This…this invitation only invited one person.”

However, Rong Yue’s expression remained unchanged. “After all, it’s the Shen family. This is quite normal!”

With regard to sending invitations for such a banquet, usually only one invitation was sent per family. That was unless that family’s status was special. In that case, another invitation would be sent to someone from that family.

Although the Rong family’s second house had separated from the main family, Father Rong and the head of the Rong family were brothers after all. Hence, when the others sent invitations to the Rong family, they often showed the Rong family some face and gave the second house of the Rong family an invitation as well.

But this was only valid for an ordinary family.

Like the recognition banquet held by the Shen family, they would only invite close friends. Moreover, the second branch of the Rong family was not qualified to be invited, so only one invitation was sent, and this was normal.

After Rong Yue finished speaking, she stood up. She then walked to Mother Rong and suddenly lowered her eyes. “Mother, it’s okay, I have an invitation. I can take you there.”

She then looked at Rong Rong. “Sister, shall we go together?”

Before Rong Rong could answer, she bit her lip. “But only my name is written here. If I bring two people, won’t that be impolite?”

As soon as she said this, she immediately covered her mouth again. “But if sister really wants to go, that’s okay. You should get to know the miss of the Shen family more.”

As soon as she said this, Father Rong coldly laughed. “What does she want to go for? If she goes, it will be even more embarrassing! If someone asks, what did she study in the 13 years abroad, how will she answer? That she learned how to sew on a sewing machine?!”

Rong Yue immediately said, “Father, don’t say that…”

From the day she returned home, her parents did not welcome her and her younger sister continued to annoy her. This house simply didn’t feel like a home.

She lowered her gaze and said softly, “I’m not going.”

Before Rong Yue had a chance to say more, her father gently looked at her and said, “Rong Yue, you go with your mother. Let your mother help you more. You’re so talented, so you’ll definitely find a good young man!”

Rong Yue sighed and nodded. She then reached out to her mother. “Mother, can you give me the invitation? I’ll take it.”

But after these words were spoken, her mother kept staring at the invitation, as if she wanted to see through the name on it.

Rong Yue walked over and asked, “Mother, what’s wrong? Looking at the name again won’t change it…”

Before she finished speaking, Rong Yue was stunned and stared at the invitation with disbelief – The invitation stated that it was sincerely inviting Miss Rong Rong to come.

Rong Rong!

How could it be… how could it be possible!?

She tightly clenched her fist and asked, “Is it written wrongly?”

Mother Rong finally snapped out of it and looked at Rong Rong, who was heading to the kitchen. She then asked, “Rong Rong, do you know Miss Shen?”

Rong Rong didn’t turn her head. Her voice was faint as she answered, “No.”

Mother Rong seemed to finally relax. “It looks like it was written wrongly. Rong Yue, did you reveal to Miss Shen that you are our second child?”

Rong Yue shook her head.

These days, who would go and introduce themselves by saying that they were the older or younger siblings in their family?

Rong Yue bit her lips. “All these years, sister has not been at home, so people outside actually think I am the eldest daughter in our family…”

Mother Rong suddenly understood and nodded. “Yes, and the invitations are usually prepared by the butler. Miss Shen probably mentioned to the butler that it was for Miss Rong of the second house of the Rong family, so the butler misunderstood something…”

After the mother and daughter spoke, they looked at each other, and they thought that they had found the answer.

Rong Yue looked at Rong Rong. “Will elder sister come with us?”

Mother Rong decisively made the decision for her. “No, this invitation was originally for you! And isn’t she an aloof person? Since your elder sister doesn’t like these banquets, she doesn’t have to go.”

Rong Yue nodded.

In the kitchen, Rong Rong, who heard the conversation between the two, paused for a moment.

She actually didn’t dislike these banquets.

When her grandfather was alive, the two families were not divided. Back then, she was also treated as a daughter of the Rong family. Whenever she participated in the banquets, she also stood out.

She was lively and active at that time, and sometimes she would play the violin for everyone. She was once a famous person in the capital.

(But now, no one will remember me, right?)

As she thought of this, she opened the pot and wanted to have breakfast. However, she found that the pot was empty and had already been cleaned.

At this time, the nanny collected the tableware used by Mother Rong and the others and was ready to wash the dishes. Hence, when she saw Rong Rong, she suddenly said, “Oh, Miss, I forgot that you haven’t eaten yet. I’ve washed the pot… Shall I make something for you to eat now?”

Rong Rong’s fingers tightened and she said, “No need.”

She then turned and walked out of the kitchen.

Just as she came out, she saw her mother and Rong Yue standing outside. Apparently, they had heard the conversation between Rong Rong and the nanny, but Rong Rong’s mother didn’t react at all. She only scolded her, “Who told you to wake up so late? You deserve to have no food!”

Rong Rong’s mother said sternly, “The rules of the Rong family are clear. You should wake up at 7 in the morning. Since you woke up late, we will punish you by not giving you any breakfast!”

After that, she looked at Rong Yue. “Little Yue, let’s go quickly. We have to purchase new dresses for the upcoming banquet.”

The mother-and-daughter duo then happily walked away.

At this moment, Rong Rong stood alone in the living room and was at a loss for some time.

She shouldn’t be in this world. She shouldn’t appear in this home…

Just then, footsteps were heard from outside the door. After that, the butler spoke, “Miss, Doctor Xu has come to see you…”

Rong Rong looked toward the door and saw Doctor Xu slowly walking toward her. He was carrying breakfast in his hand and had a smile on his face. “Little Rong, have you had breakfast? I brought you some dough sticks and soymilk.”

Upon seeing this, Rong Rong’s heart tightened. She couldn’t help but ask, “What if I have eaten?”

Doctor Xu smiled and placed the breakfast next to her. “I just passed by the dough stick store and saw how well it has been fried due to the golden color. I thought it was delicious and wanted you to try it. If you have eaten breakfast, then it will not be needed. Just throw it away if it’s a waste…”

On one hand, there was clearly food, but it was thrown away because she woke up late.

...

On the other hand, he clearly didn’t know if she had eaten breakfast, but he still bought it for her to try.

At this moment, Rong Rong’s eyes slightly reddened and she suddenly smiled. “I haven’t eaten yet.”

She took Doctor Xu’s breakfast and walked to the table nearby to sit.

Doctor Xu followed and sat beside her. But seeing that she still had her head lowered and had a somewhat unhappy expression, he gently said, “Earlier, I saw your mother taking your sister to buy a dress for the Shen family’s banquet. Do you need me to accompany you to buy a dress?”

Rong Rong stopped her action of eating and then replied, “No need.”

Doctor Xu was puzzled. “Why? I know you definitely have a dress, but don’t girls all like to wear new dresses?”

Rong Rong’s fingers tightened. She lifted her head and said, “Because I was not invited to the party.”

When Doctor Xu heard this, his gaze deepened slightly.

A moment later, he chuckled and suddenly pulled out an invitation from his pocket. “I know about your situation at home, and I guess it might not be too great. Hence, I thought of a solution to get an invitation. Little Rong, are you willing to accompany me to this banquet as my female companion?”

Rong Rong was stunned.

Her eyes gradually turned red.

...

Doctor Xu smiled and rubbed her head. “Eat quickly. After you finish eating, I’ll bring you to shop around. My goddess has to be the most beautiful girl.”

Hearing this, Rong Rong lowered her head and her tears fell into her soy milk.

She took a bite out of a dough stick and after swallowing it, she looked at Doctor Xu again. “I think I better not go. A scene like that wouldn’t suit me.”

“Don’t worry.” Doctor Xu looked at her. “Little Rong, everyone has a bad side. No one would ask another person about their past. Just let everything go and try things out. You might discover a whole new world.”

He held Rong Rong’s hand. This time around, Rong Rong didn’t push him away.

She suddenly felt that this world was still filled with warmth.

She took a deep breath. “Okay.”

She shall go and try then.
