Chapter 136: The Banquet at Hongmen

Bai Xue looped her arm through Shi Youxuan's and warmly welcomed her into the living room, instructing the servants to brew the finest tea and wash the choicest fruits, treating Shi Youxuan with snacks she had brought back from abroad.

She also had the chef prepare dinner, buying freshly-harvested organic vegetables from the countryside and using the best ingredients of the house to make her specialty dishes...

Bai Xue treated Shi Youxuan with the courtesy accorded to a VIP, her enthusiasm knew no bounds, except that she had been sitting for half a day without seeing Shi Yuke.

She asked, "Auntie, isn't my sister home?"

"Oh, she went out shopping, she should be back soon."

Bai Xue brushed off the question with a single sentence and then swiftly changed the subject, showering Shi Youxuan with praises!

Shi Yuke indeed went shopping; she wasn't lying, but she wouldn't be back "soon." She couldn't return until the evening.
