Chapter 93, Beloved
Ji Shaoting was originally reluctant to come to this birthday banquet, since he learned about Ji Yao's mysterious president identity. His mood was very low, and after the little sense of superiority that surpassed him in his career was killed in seconds, all he had left in his heart was depression.
He knew in his heart that he still loved the ocarina, even though he had said more than once that he wanted to put it down. But letting go is just hiding, and I still love her in my heart after all. Every time he saw the picture of her and Ji Yao's affection together, his heart was like a ball of silver thread, and it was indescribably uncomfortable.
Now that Ji Yao's identity has been exposed, his only remaining sense of superiority has instantly turned into frustration.
So, he didn't want to see them. Every time I see it, I will suffer once.
It's just that Ji Xianghong's birthday party this time is really high-profile. And he also had the heart to invite him, but he didn't seem to give face if he didn't come.
Ji Shaoting came to the birthday banquet out of necessity, but Shi Xinyu did it deliberately. Since receiving the invitation, she has been pestering Shaoting to bring him along.
She also pulled Yuan Zhenzhen as a lobbyist, Yuan Zhenzhen took care of the baby in her belly, took into account her pregnancy mood, and persuaded Shaoting to take her to participate.
Ji Shaoting has always been very filial, so he had no choice but to take her to participate.
Shi Xinyu chose a long black dress today, wrapping her delicate figure, making her slightly bulging abdomen more obvious. And the reason why she especially wanted to come to this birthday party was to tell the whole world that she was pregnant and pregnant with Ji Shaoting's baby. She is the eldest and youngest grandmother of the Ji family, and she accepts the envious eyes of others to satisfy her vanity.
Only on such occasions will Ji Shaoting cooperate with her to stage a picture of a loving couple.
Every time, she tries hard to show a happy smile. will also rely on Shaoting a lot, she doesn't mind Shaoting's coldness, as long as she can stay by his side, she is very satisfied with every minute and every second.
Especially tonight, Ocarina will also come to the banquet, and she enjoys showing affection in front of Ocarina, which will give her a sense of revenge satisfaction.
She also did her homework before coming to the banquet, and she found out that Ji Xianghong and Ji Yao had always had a bad relationship. Ji Xianghong has a bad relationship with Ji Yao, so naturally he won't like the ocarina. She just wants to see that the ocarina is not happy, all kinds of unpleasant.
Although the kissing photo between Ocarina and Barrister Gu last time was pressed down by others, it did not cause much harm to Ocarina. But she wasn't unprepared today, and she had many ways to make Ocarina unhappy.
At this moment, she walked over with Ji Shaoting in her arms, and smiled elegantly at the guests next to her along the way. She placed one hand lightly on her abdomen, and her cheeks were filled with a motherly glow.
Ji Shaoting walked up to Ji Xianghong and humbly congratulated, "Uncle Ji, happy birthday!"
Ji Xianghong was in a good mood and nodded to him.
Shi Xinyu handed over the gift that had been prepared a long time ago, "Uncle Ji, happy birthday, this is a small gift." ”
Ji Xianghong took the gift box and looked at her deeply, "Thank you." ”
Shi Xinyu smiled dignified and looked into the banquet hall, "Uncle Ji, where is Xiaodi?"
Ji Xianghong said lightly, "She and Xiaoyao are on the way here." ”
Shi Xinyu nodded a little, "Oh, that should be soon." I'm good friends with her, but there was a misunderstanding in the middle. But it doesn't matter, I'll still treat her as my best friend. ”
The dignified and gentle appearance she deliberately showed made Ji Shaoting frown slightly. I just felt that her fake made him a little creepy......
Ji Xianghong looked at her with a little deep eyes, and after a trace of dark light flashed in his eyes, he said meaningfully, "Since it was a misunderstanding, there is no need to mention it again." However, since Xiaodi has married our Xiaoyao, she is the daughter-in-law of my Ji family. It's better not to have some things happen, such as the videos that broke out at your wedding with Shaoting last time......"
Although his voice didn't have much ups and downs, the dark light in his deep eyes still made Shi Xinyu shiver inexplicably. How could she not hear the cover of the ocarina and the warning to her between his words?
That's right, Ji Xianghong is warning her. Whether he likes the ocarina or not is another matter, his majestic and domineering style of acting does not allow the people of the Ji family to be bullied by others. Especially the kind of things that damage the face of the Ji family, he will never allow it!
Shi Xinyu's heart sank when he looked at her, and Ji Xianghong's protection of the ocarina made her a little unexpected. She thought that Ji Xianghong would not like the daughter-in-law of Ocarina, but in fact, she just casually tried to make a good impression on herself. How do you know that Ji Xianghong doesn't play cards according to the routine......
The smile on her face was a little stiff, and she didn't even know how to react.
Ji Xianghong's face remained silent, and he added, "What do you think?"
Shi Xinyu could only nod awkwardly, "That's definitely not going to happen, it was a misunderstanding last time." ”
Ji Shaoting was by her side, hooking her lips a little sarcastically.
After Shi Xinyu was bored, he quickly made an excuse, "Uncle Ji, I saw an acquaintance, let's go over and say hello first." ”
After stepping aside, Ji Shaoting said coldly, "I'm embarrassed." ”
Shi Xinyu was aggrieved and whispered, "Shaoting, don't talk about me like that, I don't want to be close to Uncle Ji for you." ”
Ji Shaoting hooked his lips coldly, "It's just self-defeating, Uncle Ji is the head of the Ji family." Everyone knows that the video at the last wedding made everyone know that you framed the ocarina, but what you lost was Ji Yao's face and wiped his face. You're not even using your brain to hit the muzzle of the gun? It's stupid. ”
Shi Xinyu was scolded like this, and only then did he realize that he really shouldn't have taken the initiative to provoke Ji Xianghong just now. She frowned a little in annoyance, blaming her for not thinking deeply. She blushed and admitted her mistake in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Shaoting, I won't be so brainless next time." ”
Ji Shaoting glanced at her with a deep eye, and lowered his voice to warn, "Today, you give me some restraint, this kind of occasion is not something you can make!!"
Shi Xinyu endured the displeasure in her heart, lowered her eyebrows and pleasing her eyes, "Okay, I'm measured." ”
Today's banquet venue is located in the Ji family's old house, and the venue is very luxurious.
Because Ji Xianghong was in a good mood, it was really better than in previous years, so he invited many business celebrities and industry giants, as well as political VIPs. Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I'm more and more fond of being lively.
He also specially invited media friends, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were written with affirmation of Ji Yao's excellent son. He was proud of Ji Yao, and he couldn't wait to persuade the people in Dongcheng to know that he had such an incomparable son.
In the main arena of the ballroom, the long table is covered with exquisite and luxurious tablecloths. A variety of delicate desserts are placed on top, and the passing celebrity guests gently sway in the hands of transparent quality goblets, and the golden champagne in the glasses ripples lightly. Everyone talked and laughed, and the atmosphere of the whole banquet was very lively.
Su Hong was also entertaining guests, she was wearing a white evening dress and behaved decently, dignified and noble, which gave Ji Xianghong a long face. However, her smile was obviously a little forced, and her eyes were a little floating. What she cared about most tonight was the Ocarina, and she was waiting for the Ocarina.
Finally, there was a commotion at the door of the villa.
Su Hong raised her eyes and looked over, and saw Ji Yao's grim figure, and a smile quickly pulled up after a flash of disdain in her eyes.
When the ocarina appeared with Ji Yao in his arms, the scene was a little boiling.
When everyone looked sideways, what they saw was a pure woman in a white dress. Her delicate face, small facial features, and watery eyes show the purity of spring water. The skirt is inlaid with many Swarovski rhinestones, and delicate jade feet walk in high heels. In a swaying position, the skirt exudes a glamorous glow.
Her hair was made in the shape of a bud, simple and neat, towering. A strand of broken hair was deliberately left in her ear to embellish her perfect face shape, and at this moment her little face was filled with a bright smile, nestled in the crook of the man's arm.
At this moment, she is the perfect combination of nobility and innocence. Moreover, it can also complement each other to interpret her beauty vividly.
Many of the people present couldn't help but breathe and were shocked by her.
And the man next to her was dressed in a black handmade suit, and you could see how perfect his legs were from his unwrinkled pants. His cold figure, his sword eyebrows swept by thick ink, bottomless eyes, high nose bridge, and slightly pursed lips are like a perfect work of art left by God in the world.
His body was still shrouded in a layer of cold aura, and there was still no superfluous expression on his face. It's just that when the little woman's fingers beside him were slightly weighted, he glanced at her sideways, and a trace of warmth rose in his eyes, as if to encourage her not to be nervous.
Raising his eyes again, he returned to his usual indifference.
Today's Ji Yao is a perfect combination of nobility and domineering. He didn't need to speak, just every gesture could permeate the unique kingly aura on his body.
Such a man and a woman undoubtedly became the focus of the scene, and their combination outlined the most harmonious picture.
Behind them, Ji Jie also came, dressed in a light blue cheongsam with a shawl draped over her shoulders. Some low-key, but elegant and noble dress. She followed them, her eyes glinting with a hint of concern. The palms of my hands couldn't help but sweat......
After Ji Shaoting saw the two of them appear, his eyes flashed slightly, and he opened his eyes, pretending not to care.
Shi Xinyu was jealous, and his breath suddenly burned like a flame. Fingers tightened, clenched, withheld.
Ocarina held Ji Yao and walked in front of Ji Xianghong and Su Hong, her smile was like a beautiful rainbow in the sky, "Happy birthday, this is a gift I prepared for you, I hope you like it." She didn't call her father very measuredly, and this kind of occasion can be avoided so as not to be unpleasant.
Ji Xianghong saw her smile, and his eyes were a little dazed again.
Su Hong, who was beside him, gently pinched his arm, and he took the gift.
Ji Yao faced his father without a trace of superfluous expression.
However, he was already happy to be able to come to Ji Xianghong from the bottom of his heart. He knew his son, and it was a step forward for him to come.
The ocarina's voice was sweet and soft, like pure cotton, and she said playfully, "Auntie, you are really getting more and more beautiful." ”
Su Hong smiled, her smile was extremely warm, "Xiaodi, this kid's mouth is sweet, can I open it and see what gift you gave?" I'm a little curious." ”
Ocarina nodded, "Yes, it's not an expensive gift, it should be regarded as the most ordinary gift." ”
Su Hong was really curious in her heart, and after opening it and looking at it, a trace of fleeting disdain flashed in her eyes, it was actually a hand-woven scarf. It's really childish!
She thought that Ji Xianghong wouldn't like it, so she handed it to him, "Husband, you see it's the scarf that Xiaodi helped you knit." The color is pretty good. ”
Ji Xianghong looked at this scarf, and his eyes crushed a long-term memory. After a moment of trance, he nodded and said in a dumb voice, "Very good." ”
Su Hong's heart tightened a little, such a small gift was still praised? It seems that the old thing really wants to accept the little slut Ocarina......
Ocarina smiled again, and smiled contentedly. It's like a little girl who is praised by her father, and she's a little shy. Whether her father-in-law praised her sincerely or reluctantly, she was very happy. Because, today is the first time she has come to Ji's house, and her father-in-law is already very face-saving and doesn't give her a face.
She is actually a very easy person to satisfy.
She raised her little face and glanced at the man next to her, and there was a little excitement in her eyes that she couldn't suppress.
Ji Jie watched such a scene from behind, and the worry in her eyes finally dissipated. In fact, what she is most afraid of is that her eldest brother has a shadow psychologically. Now it seems that the eldest brother is giving in for Xiao Yao after all.
After the commotion caused by Ji Yao and Ocarina subsided, Zuo Wheel appeared gracefully.
As soon as he appeared, those peach blossom eyes that could discharge couldn't help but start searching for Feng Yuting's figure. He looked at the list of invitees, and it had his temperament girl on it. That's why he deliberately didn't appear with Ji Yao.
Ji Yao's sense of existence is too strong, and when he appears with him, he is digging a sinkhole for himself!
He searched around, but didn't find Feng Yuting's figure, and he was a little disappointed.
He and Ji Yao are two completely different types, he is handsome and chic, and Ji Yao is cold and introverted. He is hearty and gentle, and Ji Yao is resolute and domineering.
In terms of overall appearance, he is not inferior to Ji Yao.
Therefore, as soon as he appeared, he immediately caused some young girls to lose control. Those active little girls couldn't help but give him a look.
Zuolun shook his head slightly, with a look of regret, and thought in his heart that the current little girl is really unreserved.
This side.
There were constantly guests around who came up to greet Ji Yao politely, and Ji Yao nodded indifferently in response.
Ocarina had been by his side, and at this time, Su Hong stepped forward and took her hand warmly, "Xiaodi, there are many relatives of the Ji family who came to the banquet today, let me take you to get to know each other." ”
Ocarina looked at the man beside him, who frowned visibly.
Su Hong smiled again, "Xiaoyao, I know your baby Xiaodi." I'm an elder, and this is our family again, what else can I do with her?"
Let's go, and as she spoke, she pulled the ocarina to help her introduce her friends on the side.
Ocarina had no choice but to follow her and politely greet her relatives and friends.
However, she was full of vigilance against Su Hong in her heart.
Especially the champagne in her hand, she was always vigilant, for fear that something would happen again.
Su Hong was really enthusiastic to help Ocarina introduce the relatives of the Ji family, and her gentle appearance really looked like a loving mother.
If Ocarina hadn't learned about her from her aunt, she would have almost been moved by her.
Suddenly, a maid next to her accidentally bumped into the ocarina.
As soon as the ocarina's body shook, the champagne in his hand spilled on Su Hong's body.
Su Hong's white evening dress was ruined in an instant, and the maid's face turned pale with fright, and she apologized again and again, "I'm sorry, madam." I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to!!"
Ocarina looked at the empty goblet he was still holding in his hand, and was also embarrassed, "Auntie, I'm really sorry." ”
After Su Hong was stunned for a moment, she raised her lips again and said softly, "Forget it, you don't have a heart." Let's get busy first. ”
The maid hurriedly retreated in fright.
Su Hong gently patted the back of Ocarina's hand again and comforted, "It's okay, Xiaodi, it's none of your business." ”
Ocarina was still embarrassed, "But you...... This dress ......"
Su Hong chuckled, "It's okay, you can help me block the point, just accompany me upstairs to change into a dress." Anyway, it's convenient in your own home. ”
Ocarina had no reason to refuse at all, she was the first to lose. I can only walk on her side and help her block the spot.
Along the way, Su Hong chatted with her gently. It seems that she and Ocarina always have endless topics to talk about.
When she reached the third floor, she suddenly frowned, "Xiaodi, I'll go to the bathroom first." You wait for me in my dressing room first, my stomach seems to be a little uncomfortable. You go in first, and by the way, help me pick which dress is more suitable for me to change later. ”
Ocarina immediately became vigilant, "I'll wait for you here." ”
Su Hong didn't give her a chance to refuse, and pulled her to the door of the third room, "Obedient, you go in first." You are also a member of the Ji family, so treat this place as your own home. I'll go to the bathroom first. ”
She opened the door and pushed the ocarina inside.
The nerves in Ocarina's whole body tensed, and she looked at Su Hong's dressing room, which was really quite extravagant. All kinds of international brand skin care products were piled up, and she looked at them vigilantly, as if nothing unusual had happened.
After taking a deep breath, he comforted himself that maybe Su Hong just wanted to deliberately show her generosity. didn't have any crooked thoughts about her, after all, this is the Ji family. She can't get out of what happened in her dressing room.
Thinking like this, she relaxed a little,
Open the wardrobe and help Su Hong pick out a dress.
It's just that as soon as the closet was opened, something fell down.
She frowned, and saw that it was a photo album that had fallen to the ground.
After picking it up, I was touched by the word "love" on the cover. In this way, she opened the album by magic.
The group photo of men and women that caught her eye made her beautiful eyes widen.
