"Ms. Chu, that is so nice and thoughtful of you. But I fear my sister won't be gracious enough to accept Ms. Chu's kindness."
"Why not?" Tianxin said with a frown. If Xinghe didn't come, her plan would fail.
Wushuang lowered her voice and said with much difficulty, "Ms. Chu, there should be no secrets between friends so please don't look down on my family if I tell you this. My sister… hasn't been her best self for the past few years, this kind of setting is not suitable for her. She knows she'll be a laughing stock if she accepts the invitation so she probably won't come."
Tianxin of course knew how bad Xinghe's current situation was.
Naturally, she didn't say that but sighed regrettably. "But it's not like we invited her because we want her to be made fun of. As you know, Lin Lin hasn't seen his mom for many years…"
