When Xia Lu returned home, she discovered that Gao Qishan had not come back at all. She just wasn't sure whether he had returned to the company while she was in the hospital or if he was still at the hospital even now.
"Aunt Zheng, has my mother gone out?"
"Yes, the madam was picked up by the driver this afternoon. She said she was going to select the dresses you all will wear for some dinner party next week," Aunt Zheng replied while preparing dinner in the kitchen. "She has been out for over two hours now."
"A dinner party? What dinner party?" Xia Lu was completely confused as she had not heard about any important dinner event.
"I'm not very sure myself; the madam didn't specify, but she seemed very happy, so it must be something good," Aunt Zheng said with a laugh.
Xia Lu silently went back to her room, wondering what kind of party could make her mother, who typically disliked lively events, so happy that she specifically went out to buy dresses despite her illness.
