Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Engagement Ceremony
When the river fish returned home, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.
The Jiang family compound is brightly lit, this courtyard is owned by a rich family during the Republic of China, and later the times changed, the rich man sold the deed cheaply, and fled with his family.
The person who bought this yard was the great-grandfather of Jiangyu, and it is said that only ten pieces of ocean were used at that time.
Since then, the Jiang family has taken root in Cloud City and has come to today's status step by step.
Walking into the hall of the compound, many people are eating, and the atmosphere is lively. In recent months, the status of the Jiang family has been rising, and several large contracts have been operated, making a net profit of tens of millions.
Compared with half a year ago, the family business has expanded several times, and now that they go out, most of the people who used to look down on the Jiang family are also kind and polite.
Old Man Jiang's face was ruddy and in good spirits.
"River fish?"
Zheng Xuan screamed in disbelief.
Everyone turned their heads, only to find that Jiang Yu didn't know when to stand behind them?
Old Man Jiang smiled: "Sit down and eat." β
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Okay grandpa." β
He said this, but Jiang Yu sat down and didn't move his chopsticks, but looked at everyone curiously, and everyone seemed to be very happy today. Especially Zheng Xuan, with a sweet smile on her face, looked at Jiang Shaoqi's gaze with affection, as if there was a happy event?
The old man spoke: "Jiangyu, I heard from the eldest and second brother that I met you when I traveled to Yuzhou, and the school said that you took a long vacation and didn't go to school for more than two months. β
These words have a bit of accountability.
If you do anything else, Old Man Jiang won't ask more, but you, a student, don't go to school obediently, but take a long vacation to run around? After Old Man Jiang knew about this incident, he couldn't pretend that it didn't happen.
In any case, the river fish is always his grandson.
Jiang Yu smiled lightly and said, "There is something in Yuzhou, I'll go over and deal with it." β
The second aunt immediately laughed and said sneeringly: "You little kid, what can you do? Do you know how dangerous it is outside, if something happens to you, your parents will come to the house to make trouble again." β
When facing the second aunt, Jiang Yu only responded indifferently: "What am I going to do, and what does it have to do with you?"
The second aunt was choked by these words, her face was red and her neck was thick, and she was just about to speak, but the second aunt scolded: "Okay, just eat, can't you stop your mouth with so many dishes?"
The second aunt was so angry that she trembled and scolded in a low voice: "Uneducated things." β
When this sentence came out, Jiang Yu's face was cold, and his murderous intent surged. For the sake of her being a relative, I don't care about her, but now she has repeatedly provoked, if she were a different person, Jiang Yu would have already crossed her head with a finger.
The second uncle said earnestly: "Jiang Yu, no matter what, the second aunt is your superior, how can you talk like that? Everyone asks you, but they don't care about you." β
"Care? Don't care like this. β
Jiang Yu snorted coldly.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to stiffen, Old Man Jiang frowned: "Jiang Yun, don't say a word." Now that I'm still alive, you dare to suppress him everywhere, and if I die, are you going to drive Xiaoyu out?"
Jiang Shaoqi said in a suitable circle: "Grandpa, my dad didn't mean that, don't be angry." Let's talk about the engagement ceremony between me and Zheng Xuan tomorrow. β
Jiang Yu was surprised, no wonder everyone looked so happy tonight, it turned out that Jiang Shaoqi was going to get engaged to Zheng Xuan tomorrow. Counting the days, it's almost two days before and after.
The engagement ceremony came to an end, and it wouldn't be long before they returned to Jincheng for the wedding, right?
Jiang Shaoqi smiled and said, "Xuanxuan, are all your friends here?"
Zheng Xuan nodded: "It's all here today, I will arrange them in the hotel, and they can come over early tomorrow morning to attend the engagement banquet." β
Jiang Yun nodded and instructed: "Xuanxuan, those are all the children of rich families in Jincheng, you have to arrange it, don't let them be wronged." I heard that Han Shao from Jincheng is also here?"
As soon as Jiang Yun's words came out, the faces of everyone in the Jiang family changed.
Jiang Lingxing frowned: "Han Shao, Han Dishou's son?"
Zheng Xuan smiled and nodded arrogantly: "Yes, it's him." β
Jiang Yun looked at Zheng Xuan with a solemn face, he didn't expect her family's connections in Jincheng to be so terrifying, even people of Han Dishou's level knew it. As early as the seventies of the last century, Han Dishou became the richest man in Jincheng with a net worth of one billion.
Now that so much time has passed, the Han family's business is all over Jincheng, and even several neighboring cities nearby. That person's net worth is at least more than 400 million, right?
Although the Jiang family has risen during this period of time, there is still a gap of several decades in the face of a behemoth of the Han family's level. That kind of person may not take the Jiang family in his eyes.
"Han Shao can come to our engagement banquet, our Jiang family is full of glory. β
The smile on the corner of Jiang Shaoqi's mouth grew thicker.
Anyway, he and Zheng Xuan are already husband and wife now, but they are just short of a superficial name. This face, in the end, did not fall on his face.
As long as he mingles with Han Shaoqi and them, Jiang Shaoqi in the future can be among the top circles of the younger generation.
Zheng Xuan's parents smiled and said: "Connections in the outside world, in the final analysis, are just icing on the cake, as for what achievements will be made in the future, it depends on the efforts of these two children." Iron striking still needs its own hardness, if you don't have the ability, even if you know the richest man in Jiangbei, it's useless. β
The original intention is modesty, but in everyone's ears, anyone can hear the smugness.
To put it bluntly, tomorrow's engagement ceremony is just a competition for everyone's relationship. There are old connections, small circles, and the greater the fame of the person, the more glorious the face.
On the day of the wedding, I am afraid that it is the real boss, during this time, the Jiang family is busy with development, and will definitely take advantage of that day to invite guests to show off their connections and prove their strength.
"Are you going to get married so soon?"
Jiang Yu asked.
Suddenly, the smiles on the faces of Zheng Xuan's parents stopped abruptly.
Originally, Jiang Yu was Zheng Xuan's fiancΓ©, but now he has become Jiang Shaoqi. And tonight, I talked about the engagement in front of him.
Father Zheng felt a little guilty, and whispered: "Jiang Yu, the matter of marriage is about your love and my wishes, if Xuanxuan likes you, I will not object to this marriage." β
Zheng Mu also smiled and agreed: "Yes, I hope this matter won't affect you too much, Jiang Yu, we still can't help you." β
Compared with Zheng's father, Zheng's mother's smile is much more fake.
Jiang Yu took a deep breath and thought to himself: "Tomorrow's engagement ceremony, maybe my parents don't have the face to come over to attend, otherwise, they will become the laughing stock of Yuncheng tomorrow." β
It is not difficult for Jiang Yu to imagine how much the second elder will blame himself when he receives the news. Regarding Zheng Xuan's divorce, they will only put all the blame on themselves.
Zheng Xuan pursed her lips and didn't speak, I don't know why, when she saw the river fish, the figure of riding the wind and waves in Yujiang subconsciously appeared in her head.
There is also the celestial man who holds thunder and lightning in his hand and is full of energy.
She shook her head vigorously, controlling herself not to be cranky.
"Shaoqi, what about you here, are you ready?"
Zheng Xuan asked casually.
Jiang Shaoqi nodded: "Don't worry, when the time comes, the Yuan family and Li Hao will send people over to participate, and the two daughters of the Xia family will also come over." β
A group of elders smiled at the corners of their mouths.
Today's Jiang family has grown to the point where even Li Hao has to pay attention to it.
These top-level existences in Cloud City sent people over, representing that they recognized the status of the Jiang family.
Everyone understands that if a family wants to be among the first-line, what they say doesn't matter at all, and only when those at the top admit it can they be considered a real first-line family.
"Shaoqi, grandpa bought you a villa as your engagement gift. In the future, you and Xuanxuan will get married, and you can live on both sides. β
Zheng's mother smiled and said, "On our side, we also bought a Maserati for our two children, so let's be a piece of the parents' heart." β
Combined, the two are worth millions.
Jiang Lingxing's face was a little displeased, he turned to look at Jiang Ziyue, who was speechless, and said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, are you a little biased??"
The old man laughed heartily: "In the future, when Ziyue gets married, I will also give a villa." β
Suddenly, Zheng Xuan looked up at Jiang Yu: "What about you, didn't you once say that on my wedding day, you would give me a big gift? I'm curious, what will it be?"
Everyone chuckled and looked at Jiang Yu, what kind of gift can this kid take? It's just a big talk about putting gold on his face.
Jiang Yu said calmly: "On the day of the wedding, you will know what the gift is?"
