Today is the birthday of Old Man Ji, Xia Xizhi and Ji Xiuyu walked into the mansion side by side, and the maid stood respectfully at the door to greet him.

Although the Ji Group has been acquired by the Zhongkai Group, the Ji family is still a famous family in City A. Therefore, the old man of the Ji family has a big birthday, and many upper-class people have come. What's more, Ji Xiuyu is also the chairman of Zhongkai Group.

The old man sat on the throne and looked at them with a kind face: "Xiuyu, it's a pity, you're here." ”

The two stepped forward and said in unison: "Grandpa, I wish you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." ”

Nodding with a smile, the old man had a smile on his face: "Good, good, good boy." It's a pity, this is the first time I've seen you, you look really smart, no wonder it can make the cultivation of the 10,000-year-old iceberg tempting. ”

Listening to his words, Xia Xizhi replied with a smile: "Grandpa, it is also my blessing to meet Xiuyu. ”

"Seeing him get married, the stone in my heart finally fell. The old man said with emotion.

As he spoke, other guests came in droves. Seeing this, Xia Xizhi and Ji Xiuyu sat on one side, opposite to Ji's father, Ji Xiuming, and others.

Then, it's time for everyone to give their birthday gifts. Ji Xiuming sent the Maitreya Buddha carved from agate forward, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, this is a gift I carefully selected, I hope you like it." ”

Looking at him, the old man replied with a smile: "Okay, this Maitreya Buddha is very exquisitely carved, Xiu Ming, you have a heart." ”

Mrs. Ji took the opportunity to praise Ji Xiuming and said, "Xiuming attaches great importance to his father's birthday, and he started to show up a long time ago. Knowing that you are dedicated to the Buddha, it takes a lot of time for people to carve this Maitreya Buddha. ”

The old man nodded kindly: "Good boy." ”

Father Ji looked at Ji Xiuyu and said lightly: "Xiuyu, Dad has always loved you, what did you prepare for Dad?"

Ji Xiuyu stepped forward and took the gift. "Grandpa, this is for you. Ji Xiuyu spoke calmly.

When the box was opened, Father Ji frowned, and couldn't help but say, "Xiuyu, today is Dad's birthday, how can you send such a cold thing." If it spreads, won't it make people think that you are reluctant to spend money for your grandfather. ”

The old man looked at the delicate dolls and picked them up and put them in his hands. "This doll depicts the scene of four generations living together and having fun. If you're bored at home alone, you can take a look. Ji Xiuyu added indifferently.

The wrinkled palm caresses the lifelike figures, with an indescribable feeling in my heart. "Well, I love it. Among these gifts, this is my favorite. When your grandmother was alive, she loved these little things. These villains, really exquisite, just like the real thing. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Ji and Father Ji glanced at each other. It seems that I didn't expect that this simple thing can satisfy the old man. "Four generations in the same house...... Xiuyu, it's a pity, you have to add some oil, let me hold my great-grandson as soon as possible. The old man said with a smile on his face.

There was a blush on his cheeks, and Xia Xizhi lowered his head shyly. Seeing this, Ji Xiuyu held her hand and replied with a low smile: "Yes, grandpa, we are working hard." ”

"Well, this is my favorite gift I received today. The old man said happily.

I didn't expect it to be like this, Father Ji's expression looked ugly. was wanted to deliberately make things difficult, but he didn't expect that it would make him win the favor of the old man.

The guests began to give gifts, and when they saw Zheng Siwen, Xia Xizhi's eyes flashed with surprise. "Happy birthday, Grandpa, I wish you to live younger and healthier. Zheng Siwen was wearing a bright yellow dress and said with a smile.

After looking carefully, the old man said in surprise: "You are a Siwen girl, right? I think you were a tomboy. ”

Listening to their conversation, Xia Xizhi turned his head sideways and asked softly, "Have you and the mayor's daughter known each other for a long time?"

"Well, she used to live next door to us and was a neighbor. In addition, the relationship between the two families is not bad, and there are some movements. Ji Xiuyu explained in a low voice.

Hearing this, Xia Xizhi said jokingly: "It turns out that you are childhood sweethearts, and this feeling is deep." ”

Glancing at her, Ji Xiuyu explained in a low voice: "No, it's just a few years of neighborhood." ”

"In just a few years, it's not easy to let people have a crush on you since childhood. Xia Xizhi said teasingly, "Why is there no youthful sprout?"

Listening to her words, Ji Xiuyu replied indifferently: "Don't talk nonsense, I am just ordinary friends with her, and I haven't treated her as a woman since I was a child." ”

Xia Xizhi couldn't help but smile and looked at Zheng Siwen, just in time to see Zheng Siwen looking at Ji Xiuyu. She suddenly felt that whether she loved or not, maybe it was really doomed.

At the end of the birthday banquet, Xia Xizhi and the old man were talking in the pavilion in the courtyard. "Thank you. ”

Looking at her puzzled, Xia Xizhi asked curiously, "Grandpa, why do you say that?"

"From childhood to adulthood, Xiuyu was a child who lacked love, and his father rarely cared about him. Because of this, Xiuyu has been a little indifferent since he was a child. Later, something happened and he became more withdrawn. All the while, I rarely saw him laugh. When I saw him today, I felt like a different person. I think you should give him a lot of love. The old man said slowly.

Imagining his lonely figure all the time, Xia Xi's heart was sad. "He gave me a lot of tolerance and love, and I just gave him something in return. Xia Xizhi explained.

Picking up the teacup, the old man said amiably: "Give him a child, give him a home." Sorry, promise me to accompany him well. ”

Feeling his love for Ji Xiuyu, Xia Xizhi replied firmly: "Yes, grandpa, I will work hard." ”

The old man smiled and nodded, obviously approving with Xia Xizhi.

After chatting with the old man, Xia Xizhi got up and left. When passing through the corridor, I saw that Ji Xiuyu was talking to someone. At this moment, a back figure came into view. Seeing that back, Xia Xizhi felt familiar. When the back turned around, it was Zheng Siwen.

"It turned out to be her, no wonder I thought that back was familiar. Xia Xizhi muttered to herself, "However, did she accidentally meet us that day?"

After thinking about it, Xia Xizhi couldn't figure it out, so he raised his steps and walked towards them. came to Ji Xiuyu's side and held his hand affectionately. "Have you talked to grandpa?" Ji Xiuyu said in a low voice.

Hmm, Xia Xizhi replied with a chuckle: "Of course, a pleasant chat." ”

Ou Haoxuan muttered, hugged her slender waist, and looked at Zheng Siwen calmly: "Let's go first." After speaking, Ji Xiuyu turned around and left with Xia Xizhi.

Watching them leave hand in hand, Zheng Siwen stood there silently.
