Chapter 349: Grandpa
Xiaoxiao's extra godfather soon spread in the circle of wealthy families, which made Gong Qingchen, who didn't want to publicize this matter, a little headache, after all, her relationship with Ji Yunyang had to be kept secret, and the more low-key she usually acted with Xiaoxiao, the better.
However, Old Man Huo may be old and wants to have a lively time, not only verbally acknowledging Xiaoxiao's godgranddaughter, but also holding a special banquet to announce the good news to everyone.
Gong Qingchen was a little apprehensive when she heard the word "banquet", and she felt a headache when she thought about the occasion of fragrant clothes and sideburns.
Fortunately, Old Man Huo still respected her opinion as a mother, and temporarily canceled the banquet, and changed it to a small gathering of several close families. Even so, it also includes the Huo family, the Ji family, the Gu family, the Su family and several other family friends, adding up to dozens of people, which can be called a small banquet.
On the day of the banquet, Grandma Ji deliberately dressed up a little more solemnly to see Old Man Huo, but the first thing she said when she met was that she was so angry that she couldn't pay for her life: "You old man will be strong all your life, but when you get old, you will be stupid." Xiaoxiao calls me mother-in-law, you will call me 'aunt' obediently in the future!"
People are happy events, and today's old man Huo is also very energetic, and he didn't go back to Grandma Ji's deliberate fault, but smiled and said with a kind look: "Call you 'aunt' and call you 'aunt', so it makes me look young!"
Grandma Ji pursed her lips and sat down directly beside him, anyway, there will be no one who is older and more senior than her.
On a day like today, Ji Jun, as the in-laws of the Huo family, naturally had to be present, and he still had the intention of finding a wealthy daughter for Ji Mingyang, so he brought him too, and as soon as he entered the door, he began to look around, looking for a suitable person to talk to.
Ji Yunyang and Huo Che were still standing at the door to greet them, and when he saw Ji Jun entering, the look of disdain in his eyes flashed, and he quickly covered it up and continued to greet the next guest.
Xiaoxiao is the daughter of the Gu family, so today's banquet Gu Ruiwen and Wu Xiyue are also indispensable VIPs, the two of them arrived neither early nor late, and they happened to be stuck behind Ji Junze and Ji Mingyang.
Ji Yunyang remembered that Wu Xiyue had a conflict with Ji Jun for Gong Qingchen, and after greeting her, he led her in the opposite direction.
Wu Xiyue looked at Ji Yunyang and asked tentatively, "Young Master Ji, have you been doing well with Miss Huo recently?"
"Everything was fine. Ji Yunyang replied quietly, "Thank you aunt for your concern." ”
"No thanks. Wu Xianyue saw that there was no expression on his face, and couldn't help but feel a little mocking in his heart, "I'm old, so I can't help but always care about the relationship issues of you young people." If you and Miss Huo have any problems that can't be solved, just look for us Raven, he is from here......"
"Mom!" Gu Ruiwen on the side couldn't listen to it anymore, so he hurriedly pulled her and said, "Today is a good day to smile, let's go in and see her quickly!"
Wu Xianyue also wanted to stab Ji Yunyang with words, who knew that his son would dismantle the stage. She glanced at Ji Yunyang, coughed reluctantly, and followed Gu Ruiwen inside.
Ji Yunyang watched them go in, and then retreated to the door. Half a month ago, Xiaoxiao's custody case was tried in private, and the court ruled that Gong Qingchen continued to raise her. Gu Ruiwen was unwilling, and filed an appeal again, but now he is probably still in a bad mood. It's just that I don't know if he told Wu Xiyue the specific facts.
After all the guests arrived, everyone sat down according to their age, and Old Man Huo officially announced the start of the banquet.
He is a very old-fashioned person, insisting on a set of formal procedures for recognizing relatives, so under the witness of everyone present, Xiaoxiao brought him a glass of wine, knelt down and kowtowed three times in a proper manner, and the ceremony was completed.
In the congratulations of the guests, Wu Xiyue's mood was complicated - Xiaoxiao was her granddaughter, and now she has become the godgranddaughter of Old Man Huo, which means that she is the same generation as this person who originally wanted to call her "uncle", that is, she is higher than most of the people present.
After the ceremony is completed, the banquet has nothing to do with the protagonists, after all, these two people, one old and one young, and have outstanding status, no one will come over to toast them rashly, so after coming over with a wine glass and saying a few auspicious words, the banquet has become a place of pure communication.
Ji Jun took the unhappy Ji Mingyang to Ji Yunyang and asked him, "Are you concerned about your brother's affairs?"
Ji Yunyang held the wine glass, glanced at Ji Mingyang, who was desperately giving him a look behind Ji Junze, and said quietly: "I'm interested." ”
"The result?" asked the third runner-up.
"There is no suitable candidate. Ji Yunyang said, "How old is Ji Mingyang, why are you in a hurry now? Even if you really find him a white rich girlfriend now, can he trick people into getting married?"
"What is a lie!" Ji Jun lowered his voice and reprimanded him, "It's just that I introduced you first and became friends! Why are the words so ugly coming out of your mouth?"
Ji Yunyang shook the goblet in his hand indifferently and said, "Okay, whatever you say is what it is." Xiaoran's friends don't have a suitable single girl, if you have to find it, Gong Qingchen can barely count one, I think she has a good relationship with Ji Mingyang, do you accept her as your daughter-in-law? ”
In fact, before Ji Yunyang mentioned Gong Qingchen, Ji Jun really had a momentary thought in his heart, regretting that he did not agree to Ji Yunyang and Gong Qingchen's relationship, but he thought about it for a while, if he had agreed, then Gong Qingchen would not have married Gu Ruiwen, and there would be no more little girl who liked Old Man Huo today.
Seeing him pondering, Ji Yunyang immediately knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help but feel nauseous. He threw his head up and drank the liquor from his glass, placed it on the tray of waiters passing by, and turned to leave.
As soon as Ji Jun saw him leave, he immediately dragged Ji Mingyang: "Don't hurry up and keep up with your brother!" This son is really getting more and more stupid!
Ji Mingyang, who had high hopes for the third runner-up, hurriedly chased Ji Yunyang inside, but was grabbed by Huo Xiaoran before he could take a few steps.
"Little fool, follow me. Huo Xiaoran smiled and took him directly to a remote corner.
Ji Mingyang was simply stupid, this was Huo Xiaoran's home, she wouldn't take him to a place where no one was to put a sack, right?
Of course, Huo Xiaoran was not as frantic as he thought. She pulled Ji Mingyang to the safe passage, and then closed the door, and Ji Yunyang outside stood at the door quietly, looking like he was pouring himself a drink.
"Finally time to be able to speak properly. Gong Qingchen said and smiled at Ji Mingyang, "Little idiot, how far have you and Xia Danqing progressed?"
Today's banquet is said to be the protagonists of Old Man Huo and Xiaoxiao, but Xiaoxiao is still so young, so she basically goes to Gong Qingchen more. She was poured a few cups at the beginning, and finally escaped from the encirclement by going to the bathroom, just when Huo Xiaoran kidnapped Ji Mingyang, she simply came over to join in the fun.
"What are you talking about?" Ji Mingyang still wanted to pretend to be stupid, but he kept in mind the principle of confidentiality that Xia Danqing said.
"Less pretending to be you!" Huo Xiaoran kicked lightly on his leg, "We all know about you going to buy shares in the beauty salon for Danqing." You're very bold, do you dare to stick a foot in it if you know whose property it is?"
Ji Mingyang was stunned: "Who's it?" He was only thinking about being one of the owners of the beauty salon at the time, and he didn't dare to stop him from entering on the grounds of gender, and he really didn't investigate its background properly.
"There are even women who have lost their footing, what kind of background do you say? Seeing that he was exposed, Huo Xiaoran suddenly lost the interest in asking any further, and hugged his arms and said.
Ji Mingyang was really taken aback at this moment, and he jumped up and was about to run out: "Why didn't you say this kind of place earlier? Danqing has been in it for more than two months, what kind of friends are you?"
"What are you calling!" Huo Xiaoran dragged him back, "Where Danqing knows better than you, if her safety can't be ensured, it's your turn to jump around here?" After speaking, Huo Xiaoran glanced at Gong Qingchen, who nodded knowingly, pushed open the door of the safe passage and entered the banquet hall again, leaving the two of them inside to continue talking.
When Ji Yunyang saw her come out, he reached out and handed over a glass of wine, and took the opportunity to clink glasses and asked in a low voice, "What are you talking about?"
"Secrets between women. Gong Qingchen smiled at him, his eyes shining brightly.
Ji Yunyang smiled: "When will Ji Mingyang also be included in the ranks of your 'women'?"
Gong Qingchen pouted towards the safe passage and chuckled, "Just with Xiao Ran's approval, he transformed." ”
"It seems that my younger brother is going to become a younger sister?" Ji Yunyang raised his eyebrows in some surprise, winning Gong Qingchen with a chuckle.
"You probably aren't interested in Danqing's affairs......
In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them are just normal conversations, and each other's positions are also at a safe distance, but I don't know why, it always makes people feel that there is an aura that others can't insert.
Ji Jun disappeared from his youngest son, and saw Ji Yunyang and Gong Qingchen standing together chatting, so he brought a glass of wine over and was ready to ask.
Gong Qingchen was reluctant to meet him, and when he saw him coming, he turned around and left from a distance, obviously avoiding him.
She did it so obviously, Ji Jun was so angry, he was about to go over and complain to Ji Yunyang, but he saw that he also walked away without squinting as if he couldn't see himself.
was treated as air by these two people in a row, and Ji Jun was depressed in his heart, if it weren't for the Huo family's territory, he would have exploded a long time ago.
