"Mom, my side of the family will need at least one table. I’m not inviting anyone else, just my brother, my parents, and my older sister’s family. There are more relatives on the Qin family’s side, so just calculate how many tables are needed, and that’s how many we’ll have."
Then she looked over at Fu Mingxue. "Sister-in-law, you absolutely have to come that day. And your mother—you have to tell her she must come."
Fu Mingxue: ...?
’How did Mom and I get dragged into this?’
Just as she was considering how to respond...
Mrs. Qin spoke up first. "Qin Wenze, did I not tell you last time? Whatever you two want to do is your own business as a couple. If you want to hold a family introduction banquet, do it in your own home. It is absolutely not happening here."
"Furthermore, your father and I are busy. Your grandparents are busy too. As for your uncles and aunts—if you can manage to invite them, that’s on you."
Mr. Qin also spoke up at this moment. "Wenzhe, your mother’s feelings are my feelings. We agreed from the start that you could proceed with the adoption, but we wouldn’t get involved. The same goes for this family introduction banquet. Just handle it yourselves. We won’t be involved."
Qin Wenze’s face flushed red.
"—Dad, Mom, I’m sorry. I understand..."
The moment he finished speaking, Gao Lan’s dissatisfied voice cut in, "Mom, Dad, aren’t you being too biased? They’re both adopted children, so why is there such a huge difference in how you treat them?"
They doted on the twins as if they were the apples of their eyes.
But when it was her turn—they wouldn’t even agree to a family introduction banquet?
They didn’t even want the child to set foot in the Qin family home.
Mr. and Mrs. Qin’s expressions changed drastically.
Even Fu Mingxue’s expression turned cold.
"Gao Lan, do not bring my children into this. I hope this is the first and last time."
Gao Lan’s face went white.
Qin Wenze snapped to his senses and immediately stopped Gao Lan, who was about to say more. "Gao Lan, why are you bringing the children into this?"
He then quickly apologized to Fu Mingxue. "Sister-in-law, I’m sorry. Gao Lan misspoke. Please don’t take her words to heart."
"Brother, I’ll let it slide this time. But if she mentions my two children again, don’t blame me for refusing to acknowledge our family connection. Furthermore, based on what your wife just said, I think it’s best if our two families kept their distance!"
Fu Mingxue was fiercely protective.
