Qiao Xuan's decision to invite Ms. Yan was influenced by her desire to exclude Shao Meiling from the gathering. She held unfavorable opinions about both Shao Xiaozhi and Shao Meiling, and she wanted to avoid any potential conflicts or discomfort among the family members.
By extending the invitation to Ms. Yan, Qiao Xuan ensured that Shao Meiling would not be inclined to join the gathering. If Shao Meiling were present, it would likely lead to the inclusion of Shao Xiaozhi as well. However, by having a specific matter to discuss with Ms. Yan, which conveniently required her to spend more time with the first section of the family, everything would appear natural and without any forced interactions.
The presence of Ms. Yan as a daughter-in-law in the second section of the family was highly valued by the members of the first section. Her influence had a positive impact on Ms. Niu and Second Uncle, who were noticeably less rude in their behavior.
