Twenty minutes later, the two returned to Shen Manor. Rong Qingqing handed the car keys back, once again greeted by the butler's indescribable expression.
Guo Lan had been waiting since early morning. Seeing the two walk in, she quickly asked, "Why are you home so late today? Didn't run into any trouble on the road, did you?"
"No, it was me finishing school late. I had cleaning duty today, so I stayed back to clean and got delayed."
As Shen Qiao spoke, she picked up the still sealed milk tea and started looking for Shen Jue, but ended up spotting a red invitation on the entrance table first.
Shen Qiao muttered "huh" and casually asked, "Whose invitation is this? Who's getting married?"
"Rong Jiaojiao's," Rong Qingqing chimed in. "The engagement party is tomorrow night."
Shen Qiao bit her lip, wanting to say she wouldn't go, but then thought if she didn't, her mother would have to go alone. So, she held back that thought.
