Lan Yuxi suddenly understood. The reason why a small mixer could attract so many people was because Nan Xiangdong and the others were from the Nan family.
Lan Yuxi smiled and said to Elder Duan, "Master, I haven't bought the invitations yet. When I get them, I'll give you one first. How many do you want?"
"Five."
"No problem."
After Lan Yuxi sent Elder Duan away, she took out her phone and forwarded the files Huo Ding had sent her. The attendees at the mixer had to have clean backgrounds.
When she finished her work, Chaochao and Mumu also finished their classes and ran down excitedly.
Seeing them arrive, Lan Yuxi put down her phone and hugged the two little ones.
Chaochao glanced at his mother's phone and saw that she was browsing Taobao. He asked with a smile, "Mom, what are you buying? I have money, I'll buy it for you."
Mumu, not to be outdone, said, "I have money too, I want to buy something for Mom."
Lan Yuxi smiled and said, "You don't need to buy it, it's not expensive."
Chaochao picked up the phone and looked at it. "Mom, you're buying invitations? But who uses these things anymore?"
"Oh? If not invitations, then what?"
"Electronic invitations!"
Lan Yuxi smiled and patted her forehead. "It seems I'm really getting old."
Mumu quickly pulled down her mother's hand and gently blew on her forehead. "Mom, don't hit yourself, it hurts."
Lan Yuxi smiled and kissed her little face. "Thank you, baby, Mom doesn't hurt anymore."
Chaochao hugged his mother's neck with a smile. "Mom isn't old, Mom is forever eighteen."
Lan Yuxi chuckled, "My big baby's words are so sweet!"
Chaochao smiled and jumped off his mother's lap. "Mom, give me five minutes, I'll make the electronic invitations for you."
Lan Yuxi was stunned for a moment, then smiled. The little one was so young and already knew how to care for others.
"No rush, there are still a few days. Mom will play with you for a while, and we'll make them together tonight. By the way, I'm going to see your grandmaster tomorrow. Do you want to go with me? If you do, I'll tell the tutor to give you half a day off."
Chaochao and Mumu quickly nodded. They hadn't been to Hongmen in a long time and missed their elder brothers and sisters.
After dinner, Lan Yuxi helped Chaochao create the electronic invitations, but she didn't send them out immediately because the information for some people hadn't been completely verified. She didn't want to give those with ill intentions any opportunities.
The next day, Lan Yuxi spent half a day playing with the two children at Hongmen. As soon as the three of them left, Elder Hong made a phone call. Then, Lan Yuxi, who was still on the road, received a call from Luo Shiyi.
As soon as Lan Yuxi answered, Luo Shiyi's wails came from the other end of the line.
"Senior Sister, why do you have to organize a mixer when you could have done anything else? Master is forcing me to go."
Chaochao and Mumu exchanged glances. They really wanted to tell Uncle Shiyi that it wasn't their grandmaster forcing him, but their mother.
Lan Yuxi curled her lips slightly. "Nine Wan is also going, so you can just accompany him. It's not like you have to bring back a girlfriend."
"Ninth Senior Brother is going too? Alright then, I'll go and help him screen potential partners."
Lan Yuxi didn't expect Luo Shiyi to be so cooperative and smiled. "I think Master is forcing you to go so you can help Nine Wan screen them. Nine Wan is silly, he's not as good at judging people as you are, and his aesthetic taste is lacking. Don't you think so?"
Luo Shiyi immediately puffed up with pride. "Absolutely!"
Lan Yuxi chatted with him for a few more moments until Lan Xiaowu's call came in, at which point she hung up on Luo Shiyi and answered Fifth Brother's call.
"Fifth Brother, I'm on my way to the hospital. When can Moli and Uncle Xin be discharged from the hospital?"
"Don't come over, we're already on our way home. We'll be home in about twenty minutes. However, we won't be going to your place first, we need to stay at Villa No. 5 for a few days."
"Ah, why are you going to Villa No. 5?"
"Uncle Xin said that after a miscarriage, one shouldn't stay at your place, as it might bring bad luck. He wanted to take Moli to a hotel, but I refused. Since all the villas there are empty, I chose one."
"I didn't expect Uncle Xin to believe in such things." Lan Yuxi smiled helplessly. "Then go ahead and stay there. Everything inside is ready anyway. I'll send two maids over right away."
"Okay, see you when we get back."
"Mhm, see you when we get back."
After Lan Yuxi hung up the phone, she called the housekeeper. Once the household matters were arranged, she said to Nan Yi, who was driving, "Speed up a bit, try to get home before my Fifth Brother."
"Yes, ma'am."
Fifteen minutes later, Nan Yi parked the car in front of Villa No. 5. As soon as the three of them entered the gate, Lan Xiaowu's car drove in.
Nan Zhenting and Ling Xiaoling accompanied Lan Yuxi to welcome Xin Moli and her father into the house.
Xin Moli was initially a bit embarrassed to come over, but seeing that Ling Xiaoling and Lan Yuxi already treated her as family, her shyness quickly disappeared.
On the other hand, Island Master Xin was a little uncomfortable. His daughter had caused trouble, yet the other party's family not only didn't blame them but treated them as honored guests.
Lan Yuxi saw his thoughts and couldn't help but comfort him a few more times. Only then did Island Master Xin relax his anxious heart.
At dinner, the Lan family members arrived one after another. However, they had all received a call in advance and came to Villa No. 5 upon their arrival.
While everyone was chatting with her father, Xin Moli quietly called Lan Yuxi into the bedroom she was staying in.
"Moli, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
The only reason Lan Yuxi could think of for Xin Moli calling her in was this.
"No." Xin Moli glanced through the crack of the door and saw that her father wasn't paying attention to her. She then closed the door, lowered her voice, and said to Lan Yuxi, "Yuxi, can you send a few people to protect my mother?"
Lan Yuxi was slightly stunned. "Did Uncle Xin change his mind?"
Xin Moli nervously clutched Lan Yuxi's hand. "Yes, this morning, I overheard my father making a phone call. He was asking someone to find my mother. I told Lan Mushu, and he said he would send people to protect my mother, but I trust you more."
Lan Yuxi patted her hand comfortingly. "Don't worry, I'll send people over right away. However, this isn't a long-term solution. How about finding a time to talk to Uncle Xin?"
"I haven't told him that I've acknowledged my mother yet." Xin Moli pursed her lips tightly. "I'm afraid he'll be sad if I tell him. His health has been deteriorating these past few years."
Lan Yuxi sighed softly. "Do you think he doesn't know just because you don't tell him? You are his only daughter, he wouldn't have anyone watching over you."
"His people were all shaken off by me..."
Xin Moli thought of something and her voice suddenly stopped.
