Chapter 25: The Family Feast
Hearing this, Wei Yuanxi immediately turned around and blocked Ji Anxin.
"Stop, don't come in. He turned his back to the door, his voice raised, his tone with the usual coldness, and at the same time no one could refute him.
At the door, Han Younian leaned on the door frame and looked at the two people in the room.
For a while, he didn't speak, his gaze slowly descended, and then landed at the man's feet.
He knew the hem of the skirt and the silver heels on the woman's feet.
The man, he knew his identity too.
Looking at the man's hand that landed on her shoulder, he frowned, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.
Han Younian didn't choose to listen to him, but stepped into the room and closed the door.
Wei Yuanxi heard the footsteps gradually approaching behind him, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"Don't you understand?" his tone grew colder.
Han Younian stopped and stood behind his side.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wei. Han Younian spoke, his voice was neither humble nor arrogant, "I made an appointment with Miss Ji to meet here." ”
He didn't say anything else, and looked at Wei Yuanxi after speaking.
Wei Yuanxi heard it, this person had to stay here.
In this way, he seems to have no need to hide it.
He turned sideways and turned his head, his gaze falling on the face of the man in front of him.
Although Wei Yuanxi is in the film and television business, to be honest, he really doesn't recognize a few people in this circle, unless he has a special relationship with him. First, he is busy with a lot of business and has little energy, and second, he doesn't need to worry about this kind of thing at all, in other words, it's not worth his trouble.
However, he seemed to have some impression of the person in front of him.
"Han Younian?" he asked tentatively, his voice vaguely uncertain.
"Yes. Han Younian nodded.
Wei Yuanxi looked at him, glanced at Ji Anxin again, and a flash of clarity seemed to flash in his eyes.
He tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "You've come just in time." ”
As he spoke, he pressed his palm against Ji Anxin's shoulder and suddenly pushed her away.
Ji Anxin was unconscious now, had no leaning, and fell straight into the air.
Han Younian frowned, stepped forward quickly, and almost subconsciously hugged Ji Anxin.
Wei Yuanxi looked at his actions, raised his eyebrows, and then opened his lips and said: "She suddenly fainted just now, and she doesn't know what's going on, if you are willing, call her assistant." ”
"If you don't want to, you can do whatever you want. ”
He spoke softly, arranging his collar as if he were saying something unrelated.
Han Younian glanced at him, and his gaze fell on Ji Anxin's face.
"I will, thank you. He said in a low voice.
Wei Yuanxi nodded, said no more, and walked towards the door.
"By the way......" He suddenly remembered something, stopped, and looked back at Han Younian, "I am here with her, remember not to tell anyone." ”
Even if he didn't say it, Han Younian knew what to do.
It's just that his words aggravated the suspicion in his heart even more.
That secret conjecture gradually magnified in his heart.
He pondered for a while, then said, "I understand." ”
Wei Yuanxi was satisfied, turned around, and walked out.
The door closes, and the interior is quiet.
Han Younian looked at the face of the woman in his arms, his eyebrows tugging.
"Ji Anxin, it's not what I thought, right?" he stretched out his hand, stroked the woman's delicate eyebrows, and asked to himself.
Ji Anxin kept his eyes closed all the time, and he didn't react to anything in the outside world.
A wry smile tugged at the corner of Han Younian's mouth, and he called himself a little stupid in his heart.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Ji Anxin woke up in soreness.
Overhead, a flickering light fell.
Ji Anxin blinked, and it took a while to get used to it.
She moved, and found a needle stuck in the back of her hand, looking down the infusion tube, and an infusion bag hanging next to the bed.
After a second look, I found myself lying on the bed in the hotel.
Ji Anxin propped himself up and sat up against the head of the bed.
She moved her mouth and shouted, "Zhou Zhou?"
Zhuang Zhouzhou was pouring water in the living room outside, and when he heard the sound, he ran in with a cup in his hand.
"Sister Anxin, you finally woke up, scared me to death!" Zhuang Zhouzhou walked to the side of the bed and looked at Ji Anxin and breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Anxin pursed her dry lips, her throat ached, and said to her, "Give me water." ”
"Oooh. Zhuang Zhouzhou hurriedly handed it over.
After drinking the water, it was slightly relieved, and Ji Anxin mentioned that he had fainted before.
Zhuang Zhouzhou sat on the edge of the bed and explained to her: "I'm terrified, when Han Younian came to look for me, I thought you two were photographed by reporters......
"Han Younian?" Ji Anxin frowned, interrupting her in confusion.
"That's right. Zhuang Zhouzhou nodded and continued: "Before the dinner was almost over, I went in to look for you, but I didn't see it after looking around, and then Han Younian came over. ”
"He said you fainted in the break room and asked me to rush you to the hospital. ”
After she finished speaking, Ji Anxin still frowned.
"How could it be him?" she whispered, hanging her head.
"What?" Zhuang Zhouzhou didn't hear clearly, and asked.
Ji Anxin shook his head and said, "When you went in, you didn't see anyone else?"
"No, I don't. Zhuang Zhouzhou thought about it before he affirmed.
This is strange, Ji Anxin pondered.
Zhuang Zhouzhou saw that she didn't say a word, scratched his head, and hesitated to speak: "What, Brother Rin is quite angry." You know, he doesn't like you to hang out with those male stars. ”
Ji Anxin smiled helplessly and said, "It's not what you think, there's nothing between me and him, as for why he knew that I fainted in the lounge, I don't even know." ”
"Sister Anxin, of course I believe you. Zhuang Zhouzhou nodded, "But Brother Rin, you may have to be trained again." ”
Zhuang Zhouzhou stuck out his tongue and said a little naughtily.
Ji Anxin glanced outside the house and asked, "What about the others?"
"Aren't you sick, the rest of the trip has been delayed, and Brother Rin is busy looking for someone to save the scene. Zhuang Zhouzhou explained.
Ji Anxin breathed a sigh of relief: "I can finally calm down for a while." ”
"What's next?" she asked, as she lay back on her bed.
Zhuang Zhouzhou took out his mobile phone, flipped through the memo, and replied: "After the trip is canceled, Sister Anxin, you have five days of rest, and you can recuperate." ”
"Five days ......" Ji Anxin repeated, she touched her stomach and said to Zhuang Zhouzhou: "Do you want to eat hot pot?"
She hadn't eaten well this day, and when she watched them eat hot pot before, she was already hungry, but when she heard that there was a five-day holiday, the gluttonous worms came out again.
Zhuang Zhouzhou let out an "ah", looked at her with strange eyes, and said, "Sister Anxin, this point, don't you want to?"
"You're right. Ji Anxin nodded.
Zhuang Zhouzhou frowned: "However, the doctor said that your cold is quite serious, and you have to eat lightly." ”
"It's okay, it's okay to have an occasional meal. Ji Anxin shook his head and raised his hand to touch his forehead, "Besides, I don't burn it anymore, I don't believe you touch it." ”
As she spoke, she took Zhuang Zhouzhou's hand and touched her forehead.
Zhuang Zhouzhou put the back of his hand against her forehead and felt it, and sure enough, it was not as hot as in the lounge before.
"But ......" Zhuang Zhouzhou was still very hesitant.
"Just say if you want to eat it!" Ji Anxin interrupted her and asked.
"Of course I want to!" Zhuang caught Tuesday without saying a word.
Because of Ji Anxin's sudden fainting, Zhuang Zhouzhou was only busy back and forth, but he didn't actually eat dinner, and when he heard that she wanted to eat hot pot, his heart was a little shaken.
"That's right. Ji Anxin patted her face and smiled triumphantly.
Zhuang Zhouzhou watched her pick up the mobile phone on the bedside table, feeling that she was too unfortunate.
Ji Anxin lowered his head and ordered something on the takeaway platform.
"What do you like to eat?" she asked without looking up.
Zhuang Zhouzhou opened his mouth and said, "I'm not a picky eater, I can eat anything." ”
With that, she got up.
"Sister Anxin, I'll call Brother Rin back. ”
Ji Anxin nodded and didn't say anything.
After placing the order, Ji Anxin looked at the infusion bag, and there was only a little left in it.
Tick, tick, she was dazzled for a moment.
Suddenly, the mobile phone rang, and Ji Anxin was startled.
She looked at the unfamiliar number displayed on it and frowned.
At this point, who will it be?
As she thought so, she tapped her finger to connect.
"Hey?" she asked.
"Anxin, it's me. On the other end of the phone, a slightly tired man's voice came.
Ji Anxin frowned slightly, and asked, "Why do you have my phone?"
"This kind of thing, as long as you spend money to investigate, you can know. ”
"So, what are you trying to do when you make this call?" Ji Anxin's tone was not very good, and he lowered his voice, "I said, if you can't meet those two conditions, don't contact me." ”
"Anxin, it's not that Dad doesn't want to promise you, it's really ......" Ji Jianmin's voice hesitated, and he seemed to be very embarrassed.
Ji Anxin held his mobile phone and said in a cold voice: "Then I have nothing to say to you." ”
As she spoke, she was about to hang up.
"Wait, don't hang up yet. The man on the other side said anxiously.
Ji Anxin stopped, and heard him continue: "What, if you give Dad some more time, I will definitely let you go back to Ji's house with dignity." ”
Ji Anxin didn't answer and quickly hung up the phone.
As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw Zhuang Zhouzhou standing at the door.
Zhuang Zhouzhou was a little panicked, and said anxiously: "Sister Anxin, don't worry, I didn't hear anything." ”
Ji Anxin smiled, and said as if he didn't care very much: "What are you nervous about, it's not an important call, it doesn't matter if you listen to it." ”
"Actually, I ......" Zhuang Zhouzhou pinched his fingers and spoke: "When I was working as an assistant to Hu Jingyu before, I accidentally heard her talking to someone on the phone once, and after she found out, she fired me." ”
Hu Jingyu is a female artist who has debuted for a long time, and often plays the role of a white lotus in some dramas, Ji Anxin has worked with her once before, and she has a few rival scenes, and she can still remember her face.
Hearing Zhuang Zhouzhou mention it at this time, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is there such a thing?"
Zhuang Zhouzhou nodded and looked at her timidly: "Sister Anxin, won't you want it too?"
Her voice grew quieter and quieter as she spoke.
Ji Anxin stared at her for a few seconds, deliberately keeping a straight face: "What ...... this?"
"Sister Anxin. Zhuang Zhouzhou's eyes were red in a hurry, and he looked at her pitifully.
"Why don't you make a fool of yourself?" Ji Anxin raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "You didn't make any big mistakes, why did I want to fire you, stupid or not?"
Zhuang Zhouzhou smiled instantly, she wiped her eyes, and said, "No way, who let me have a shadow?"
Ji Anxin waved his hand and said, "Okay, I don't want to be unhappy." ”
As she spoke, she looked at her phone, and the rider was already making deliveries, showing that it was only three hundred meters away from the hotel.
"The takeaway is almost here, pack up and get ready to open the door. ”
Zhuang Zhouzhou hummed and turned around to tidy up the coffee table in the living room.
Ji Anxin looked at the already empty infusion bag, gritted his teeth, and pulled out the needle.
For the next few days, she stayed in her apartment to rest.
The hot pot was so calorie-barred that Ji Anxin had to control his diet and exercise for three hours a day.
It's just that she didn't expect Ji Jianmin's call to come so quickly.
On the fourth day of the holiday, Ji Anxin was sorting out clothes in the cloakroom when he suddenly heard his mobile phone ringing non-stop.
She paced out of the room and found her phone on the couch.
She glanced at the caller, and without thinking about it, she refused.
In a few seconds, the bell rang again.
Ji Anxin nestled into the sofa, stared at his phone, and finally clicked on it after a while.
"I said, don't call me again. She scratched her hair, her voice not very impatient.
"Anxin, don't be angry yet. Ji Jianmin said in a calm tone, "Listen to me speak slowly......"
"The family already knows about you, your grandfather and I have the same idea, and we all hope that you will recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors. Ji Jianmin said slowly, "It's just that your Aunt Liu may be a little troublesome, but it's not a big problem." ”
"Before the newspaper, everyone in the family wants to see you first, when do you think you have time to come to the house?"
Ji Anxin listened to him for a long time before he spoke: "Tomorrow." ”
"Do you have time tomorrow? Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Ji Jianmin's voice suddenly became happy.
Ji Anxin didn't want to hear him talk anymore, so he said, "If it's nothing, I'll hang up first." ”
"Tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning, I will ask the driver to pick you up?" Ji Jianmin was afraid that she would hang up the phone, so he said in a hurry.
Ji Anxin casually agreed, then hung up and threw away the phone.
She lay on her back, leaning against the armrest, and slowly closed her eyes.
I haven't moved for a long time, and I don't know what I'm thinking.
A few minutes later, she suddenly got up and went into the cloakroom.
At ten o'clock in the morning the next day, Ji Anxin received a call from the driver, saying that he was already waiting at the door.
She went downstairs with her bag, and when she walked out of the gate of the community, she saw the luxurious car.
The driver waited by the car, saw her coming, bent down slightly, and said respectfully: "Miss Anxin, please get in the car." ”
Ji Anxin nodded and got into the car.
The Ji family's house is in the south of the city, quiet in the middle of the city, although it is quiet but not remote, but it is still a little far away from Ji Anxin's apartment.
After driving for an hour, Ji Anxin saw the gate from a distance.
At the door, the security guard confirmed the license plate number before letting the person go.
Ji Anxin looked out the car window, green plants flashed from the side, and the building was getting closer and closer to him.
For a moment, her heart beat faster.
But she quickly calmed down, for in the courtyard she saw the man with whom she had slept not long ago.
Ji Anxin's eyebrows twisted slightly, doubting the purpose of this family banquet.
Soon, the car stopped on the trail.
"Miss Anxin, it's here. ”
The driver pulled back her thoughts, Ji Anxin pursed her lips, opened the door and got out of the car.
Wei Yuanxi was standing in the courtyard, talking to someone on the phone.
The man was wearing a black woolen coat outside, and he stood there, looking more and more tall and slender.
Ji Anxin's underwear today is a light purple waist-cinching skirt that reaches the calf, with lace on the long cuffs, and a corner peeking out from under the black woolen coat.
This color collided with Wei Yuanxi.
Ji Anxin looked down at the black neckline, pursed his mouth, and walked towards the man.
Wei Yuanxi noticed it as early as when the car stopped, he turned sideways, and saw Ji Anxin get out of the car the second, his expression was slightly startled.
"Mr. Wei seems surprised?" Ji Anxin stopped opposite him, holding his bag in both hands, and obediently put it in front of him.
As she spoke, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Wei Yuanxi's eyes were deep and quiet, and he looked at her like that.
"It's not ...... surprise," he paused, and then said slowly: "It's just a little sigh, which of what Miss Ji said is true and which is false?"
Not long ago, the gossip that she was the illegitimate daughter of the Ji family was the first hot search, and as a party concerned, she denied this rumor in a dignified manner. What's more, she once proposed to him to marry the illegitimate daughter of the Ji family, and at that time he asked her if she was the illegitimate daughter of the Ji family, and Ji Anxin neither denied nor admitted it.
The Ji family's family banquet, she appeared here, and there seemed to be something clearer.
Ji Anxin hooked his lips and said with a smile: "Mr. Wei is so smart, for you, what does it matter if it is true or not?"
Wei Yuanxi groaned and spoke: "It's okay for me, but Miss Ji's fans should be sad." Speaking of this, he smiled sarcastically at the corner of his mouth, "I denied it before, but now I appeared at the Ji family's family banquet, and the slap in the face came so quickly, did Miss Ji think about what kind of consequences this would bring to her career?"
This kind of thing is not without lessons from the past, there will always be some artists in the circle who speak inconsistently, slap themselves in the face, and cause a decline in reputation and damage to their careers.
From the peak to the bottom, it is a common thing.
However, Ji Anxin didn't seem to care.
She freed up one hand, put her thumb and index finger close, leaving a small slit, looked at Wei Yuanxi and said, "Have you found a small detail?"
Wei Yuanxi was puzzled by her sudden nonsense, but still asked, "What?"
Ji Anxin pursed his lips and continued, "You always seem to subconsciously care about me. ”
As she spoke, she leaned over and approached Wei Yuanxi.
Wei Yuanxi was stunned, and quickly retorted: "You don't ...... yourself."
"Shhhh Ji Anxin interrupted him faster, and put his fingers close to the man's lips.
The woman's fingers were cold, and Wei Yuanxi stepped back in disgust.
Ji Anxin suddenly said, "Don't move, Ji Xuanyue is looking at us." ”
Wei Yuanxi paused, and heard her still saying, "If you don't want her to pester you, just stay still." ”
As he spoke, a fragrant smell lingered between the two.
Ji Anxin's eyes fell on the man's face, and even his eyelashes could be seen clearly, a big man's eyelashes were longer than a woman's, which was really jealous.
Wei Yuanxi stared at her, seeing that this woman's gaze was becoming more and more presumptuous, and the disgust in his heart was even worse.
In the next moment, he stepped away and stood far away.
Immediately, he turned around and looked back, where was Ji Xuanyue.
"Hahaha......" Immediately after, a burst of laughter erupted behind him.
Wei Yuanxi realized that he had been tricked, and his face was cold, and the cold on his face was even heavier.
He turned around and looked at Ji Anxin, his index finger tapped in the air, and he didn't say anything, but the threat in his eyes was so thick that he couldn't dissolve.
The next second, he turned and left.
Ji Anxin watched the man's back enter the building, and gradually stopped laughing.
She wiped the corners of her eyes and followed.
At the door, there was a servant waiting.
Ji Anxin stood there and said dignified and elegant: "Please inform your husband that Ji Anxin has arrived." ”
The maid is very young, a little girl, and she is very excited to see Ji Anxin.
But she didn't understand the relationship between Ji Anxin and the master of the family, and she didn't dare to bring people in privately.
"Xiaoyu, what are you doing there?" After hesitation, an elderly maid walked over.
When she saw Ji Anxin, she was stunned, and quickly reacted.
"Mom Zhang, I'm ......" The maid who called Xiaoyu opened her mouth, but was interrupted by Mama Zhang, "Don't say it, Miss is looking for you, go over quickly." ”
Xiaoyu glanced at Ji Anxin again, and then reluctantly left.
"Miss Anxin, I'm slacking, please here. Mama Zhang bent slightly towards Ji Anxin and said apologetically.
Ji Anxin hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "It's okay. ”
As she spoke, she walked in the direction she was pointing.
Ji Anxin was taken to the living room to wait, and then Zhang's mother didn't know where she went.
She sat on the sofa and looked around, but she didn't see anyone, not even Wei Yuanxi, who had just entered the door.
The villa is spacious, decorated like a royal palace, and even during the day the lights are on, making it even more palatial with the warm-toned lighting.
Ji Anxin leaned on the sofa and smiled meaninglessly.
Who would have thought that the people who lived in this house were already in huge debt.
As he thought this, he heard a loud noise behind him.
Ji Anxin straightened her skirt and got up from the sofa.
As the voice approached, Ji Anxin raised the corners of his mouth and put a signature smile on his face.
Walking in front was Ji Jianmin, who saw Ji Anxin first, with a smile on his face, and hurriedly walked over a few steps.
"Anxin, you are here, everyone is looking forward to you. ”
Ji Anxin smiled at him, and then looked at everyone.
Chen Shuyuan stood together holding Wei Wangjing's arm, and standing next to him were Ji Silun and Zhou Puyun, Ji Anxin's grandfather and grandmother who were related by blood. Ji Jianmin's wife, Liu Ran, stood a little behind, while Wei Yuanxi, who had disappeared just now, fell far behind.
Their faces, Ji Anxin is both familiar and unfamiliar.
Everyone's face is different, but at the moment they all reveal the same embarrassment.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like you're looking forward to her coming.
She was already a little surprised to see Wei Yuanxi before, but it was not so strange to see Wei Wangjing and Chen Shuyuan now.
She smiled decently, bowed politely to everyone, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm late, I hope I didn't disturb your interest." ”
Liu Ran looked at her, then at a few elders, and said enthusiastically: "Where is it, you came just in time." ”
As she spoke, she walked over to Ji Anxin and grabbed her arm familiarly.
"Lunch has just been made, you, it's just in time. ”
I don't say she's right, I don't say she's wrong, but it doesn't always sound so good.
Ji Anxin watched her hold her arm, smiled, and didn't speak.
Liu Ran made a start, and the atmosphere was finally not as awkward as before.
Chen Shuyuan beckoned to her and smiled kindly: "An Xin, come over and talk to me for a few words." ”
Ji Anxin sighed, withdrew his hand, and walked to Chen Shuyuan's side.
"Grandma Chen, how are you doing lately?" Ji Anxin held her shoulders and said with an intimate smile.
Chen Shuyuan patted her hand and said, "I didn't expect you to still think about me, but you are more concerned than my family Yuanxi." ”
Liu Ran couldn't help frowning as he watched their intimate conversation, while Ji Jianmin led the other elders to the restaurant.
No one mentioned why Ji Anxin appeared here, and it seemed that he had already tacitly understood it.
"Grandma Chen, if you want to say that, some people are going to be unhappy. Ji Anxin leaned close to Chen Shuyuan's ear and whispered, and after speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Wei Yuanxi behind him.
Wei Yuanxi ignored her gaze, turned sideways, and went to the restaurant.
Chen Shuyuan smiled: "His face, there is no time to be happy." ”
That's right.
Wei Yuanxi's face will pretend to be cold, and it is not pleasing at all.
Ji Anxin whispered a few more words to Chen Shuyuan, moved to the restaurant as he spoke, and sat down beside Chen Shuyuan.
After sitting down, she realized that Wei Yuanxi was on her right hand.
Ji Jianmin pulled Liu Ran to the side and whispered, "Why hasn't Xuanyue gone downstairs yet, what are the guests waiting for?"
"This girl, I told her a long time ago, and I don't know what to pour in the room, I'll ......go up and take a look," she said, and she was going upstairs.
At this moment, Ji Xuanyue happened to go downstairs.
"Oh, it's down. Liu Ran pointed to the stairs.
Ji Xuanyue was wrapped in a red bandeau skirt, the length was short to the middle of the thigh, outlining a perfect curve, but Liu Ran frowned, walked up to her and said: "Go back and change your clothes, the house is full of elders, you don't look like this." ”
"I don't!" Ji Xuanyue's face turned sideways and said toughly, "I want to be more beautiful than that wild seed." ”
As she spoke, she walked quickly to the restaurant, but Liu Ran couldn't stop her from behind.
In the restaurant, Wei Wangjing and Ji Silun were chatting about the news of the past few days, and Ji Anxin approached Wei Yuanxi to speak, with a smile on his face, not knowing what he was talking about.
Ji Xuanyue saw it at a glance, and the anger in her heart became stronger and stronger in an instant.
She rushed over and grabbed Ji Anxin's hand.
"Ji Anxin, do you have any shame?!" The voice was loud, and everyone in the room heard it.
For a while, everyone turned their heads and looked at her.
