I heard that today was set to celebrate Lu Xuening's birthday in advance, so even Baili Xia was invited back for lunch.
Because for dinner, Xuening would be eating with the people from the Dongfang family.
It's like a daughter getting married, gathering at her parents' home first and then going to her husband's home for a proper celebration.
As for why it was being held in advance, I heard it was because Xuening had her fortune told.
If she plans to get engaged with Mr. Jin this year, she cannot celebrate her birthday on the actual day; otherwise, it would cause bad luck.
As for this fortune-telling business, the Dongfang family didn't really have much to say about it.
Especially Qin Yimo. As soon as he heard this was being done for the benefit of his son, he was ready to agree to anything.
Lu Xuening was willing to let her mother invite Baili Xia to have dinner. Baili Xia, of course, knew the underlying intention was not just about this meal.
