Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 76: Chapter 76 The Invitation is Missing

"Please show your invitation." Outside the Yun Family Mansion, a servant in a tailcoat wore a soothing smile and said softly.

"Okay." Lin Mengyao nodded, took out the small handbag she had prepared earlier, and reached inside to retrieve the invitation. But then, the smile on Lin Mengyao’s face froze.

Anyone at the door dealing with important guests wouldn’t lack sharp observation skills. Noticing Lin Mengyao’s hand stuck inside her bag without taking anything out and her stiff smile, the servant immediately understood what was happening.

"Did you forget to bring your invitation? Without it, we can’t let you in. Perhaps you can ask someone to bring it over, and once it’s here, I can let you and the gentleman inside. Meanwhile, I’ll have to trouble you to wait on the side." Although the servant guessed Lin Mengyao had no invitation, he remained polite, giving Lin Mengyao face without embarrassing her.

"Okay." Lin Mengyao gave the servant a grateful smile and stepped aside to make way for the people behind.

Xu Ke tightened his grip on Lin Mengyao’s hand and with his other hand reached into his pocket to fetch the invitation to take Lin Mengyao inside. The invitation Xu Jie received was different from the one sent to the Lin Family. The Lin Family’s invitation was personal, but Xu Jie’s allowed for one companion. The importance of tonight’s banquet to Lin Mengyao was self-evident. How could Xu Ke let Lin Mengyao be left outside?

Just as Xu Ke’s hand touched the pink invitation, a discordant female voice with a sharp tone sounded behind them, "Oh, isn’t this the famous beauty of Luocheng, Lin Mengyao? What? Have you fallen so low now? You dare come without an invitation, huh? Who are you planning to leech off? Or are you standing here on purpose to catch someone’s eye, hoping to snag a rich man and dump the useless one at home?"

inability to produce an invitation and standing with her male companion on the hillside was already conspicuous enough. Now, with the woman’s loud voice, it further drew everyone’s eyes to Lin Mengyao. Those who previously only peeked due to courtesy now
