As soon as Ji Qinghe got out of the car, Yuan Ruike's eyes lit up.

She lifted the hem of her skirt and walked in the direction where Ji Qinghe was, but Ji Qinghe only glanced at her indifferently, and then turned around indifferently.

Yuan Ruike paused.

Everyone who was looking forward to it saw that Ji Qinghe carefully and gently helped someone down from the car-

Ye Ronghuan.

"Be careful. Ji Qinghe grabbed Ye Ronghuan's hand, his arm also wrapped around her waist, looking cautious.

Everyone was stunned, and Ji Qinghe, who was familiar with him, stepped forward and said in surprise: "Why is my sister-in-law here too?"

Don't you feel inconvenient with such a big belly?

Ji Qinghe said softly: "Don't worry about letting her stay at home alone." ”

The other party choked up and immediately fell silent.

Isn't there a maid at home to take care of it? What can happen if it's good? It's not easy to bring it to the banquet?

Ye Rong greeted people with a smile.

The other party also responded enthusiastically, and whispered a few words about the situation before they came.

Shao Chongshan walked over, happened to hear it, and said with a smile: "Who is talking such nonsense? Qinghe and Rong Huan have such a good relationship, they can even make up such nonsense?"

His voice was not deliberately lowered, and everyone not far away heard it.

Although I didn't hear what the man said to Ye Ronghuan and Ji Qinghe, he could probably guess it, so he subconsciously looked at Yuan Ruike.

Yuan Rui Keke didn't say that just now, although he didn't have a famous word, but what he said was like he wanted to rekindle his old relationship with Ji Qinghe?

But why did Shao Chongshan say that it was all nonsense?

looked at Ji Qinghe, who was gently hugging Ye Ronghuan, and everyone felt that what Shao Chongshan said might be more reliable.

What Yuan Ruike said just now......

Everyone looked at Yuan Ruike's gaze and immediately became a little meaningful.

Yuan Ruike still maintained a smile on her face, but it was a little unnatural, listening to the whispers on the side, a dark and gloomy flash flashed in her eyes.

She continued to take steps and stepped forward, "Qinghe, Chongshan, are you here?"

looked at Ye Ronghuan again, his tone was still soft and polite, "Miss Ye, I didn't expect you to come, I'm very happy." ”

Ye Ronghuan smiled at her, bowed his head coldly, and did not speak.

Ji Qinghe suddenly spoke, his tone helpless, but with obvious doting: "I've been a little busy lately, I haven't been with her well for a long time, I heard that I was going to come to the banquet, I insisted on following me, I can't help her, if I cause any trouble, please forgive Miss Yuan generously." ”

This tone, as well as an alienated "Miss Yuan", almost made Yuan Ruike's smile stiffen.

When Ye Ronghuan heard this, his face was silent, but secretly he twisted his waist fiercely.

Capable of it, you actually learned to make up nonsense about her?

The people around her are joking, envying her for having a good relationship with Ji Qinghe.

Yuan Ruike felt that she would be suffocated if she stayed in this atmosphere for another two minutes, she said with a smile: "My grandfather hasn't seen you Qinghe for a long time, I heard that you are coming, I have been waiting for a long time, let's go in." ”

Yuan Ruike's grandfather's surname is Ding, Ji Qinghe had already contacted Grandpa Ding when he didn't know her before, and the other party admired him quite a lot.

Hearing this, he nodded, turned his head and said to Ye Ronghuan, "Let's go in." ”

Ye Ronghuan hadn't moved yet, he said again: "Walk slowly, it's still early, don't be in a hurry." ”

Ye Ronghuan is at this stage now, although he has to be careful when walking, he is not as slow as an old man in his seventies and eighties, but Ji Qinghe put his arm around her and didn't let her speed up, I don't know if he was really worried or deliberate, Ye Ronghuan glanced at him faintly, and cooperated with him to walk step by step.

Yuan Ruike followed on the side, keeping the same speed as them.

She was going to walk beside Ji Qinghe, but before she could walk over, Shao Chongshan didn't know whether she wanted it or not, so she occupied that position, and she could only walk to Ye Ronghuan's side.

At the beginning, Ji Qinghe didn't pay much attention to Grandpa Ding's birthday banquet, and the only thing he cared about was that Yuan Ruike was going to take this opportunity to do something, but after entering, he raised his eyebrows and saw that something was wrong.

This birthday banquet seems to be too grand, there are not many guests, and even at a glance, most of them are people from all walks of life.

and Shao Chongshan glanced at each other, and Shao Chongshan also saw that something was wrong.

The Ding family has always been very low-key, and the Yuan family has also quieted down since Yuan Ruike went abroad, but now in this meeting, how can you look at it, are these two families going to rise again?

Yuan Ruike has been trying to talk to Ji Qinghe, but Ji Qinghe is very cold to her, which makes her worry.

glanced at Ye Ronghuan, suppressed the jealousy and unwillingness in her heart, and she led people to Grandpa Ding.

Grandpa Ding smiled when he saw Ji Qinghe and beckoned to him.

"Qinghe is here, you kid, but I haven't come to see my grandfather for a long time. Grandpa Ding's tone was very affectionate.

Ji Qinghe smiled and shouted, "Grandpa Ding." ”

He used to call Grandpa Ding, but during the time he was dating Yuan Ruike, the two came to Ding's house together, and Yuan Ruike had to call him grandpa together, and the title was changed during that time.

Now that he has nothing to do with Yuan Ruike, naturally he shouldn't call his grandfather anymore.

When Grandpa Ding heard his salutation, he sighed with some regret, as if he was regretting that he could not become his grandson-in-law.

Turning his gaze to Ye Ronghuan beside Ji Qinghe, Grandpa Ding smiled kindly and asked, "This is your daughter-in-law?"

Ye Ronghuan politely followed and shouted "Grandpa Ding".

Ji Qinghe introduced her to Grandpa Ding.

Grandpa Ding saw Ye Ronghuan's big belly, asked her a few words gently, and blamed Ji Qinghe: "I have long heard your grandfather say that he is about to hug his grandson, but you kid, you haven't even brought your daughter-in-law to me, and now the child is about to be born, why, you have an awkward quarrel with Coco, and you don't even want to recognize me?"

"Of course not, it's just that there hasn't been the right time and opportunity, don't get me wrong. Ji Qinghe explained apologetically, and the topic was removed in a few words, and the atmosphere between him and Grandpa Ding was quite good.

There were other guests to entertain, and after chatting for a while, Grandpa Ding waved his hand to Ji Qinghe: "Okay, I know that you are impatient to chat with the old man, you young people can go play by yourself." ”

and let Yuan Ruike entertain them.

Walking away from Grandpa Ding, Ji Qinghe said, "Miss Yuan, let's go and entertain others, we don't need it here." ”

Yuan Ruike looked a little lonely, looked at him, and said with a reluctant smile: "Qinghe, grandpa asked me to entertain you." ”

"No, you don't. Ji Qinghe said unkindly.

Turning his head to look at Ye Ronghuan, his expression became gentle again: "I'm tired of standing for a long time, let's find a place to sit?"

Ye Ronghuan nodded.

Shao Chongshan is not a peaceful character, he can always mix like a fish in water on this occasion, so naturally he will not sit dryly, say hello and play by himself.

Ji Qinghe took Ye Ronghuan and walked away, as if Yuan Rui didn't exist.

Yuan Ruike looked at the backs of the two, bit his lip, and his eyes were cloudy.

Suddenly, someone on the side greeted her, and she hurriedly hid these negative emotions, and put a gentle and polite smile on her face again.

Along the way, many people came up to greet Ji Qinghe, and Ji Qinghe used Ye Ronghuan as an excuse to avoid those troubles very smoothly.

found a quiet place, he helped Ye Ronghuan sit down, and whispered to her, happy and comfortable.

Glancing at his watch, he said, "We'll leave when it's almost time." ”

Most of the people who came today were not ordinary people, and it was a rare occasion to consolidate their connections, but in comparison, he still preferred to go home with Ye Ronghuan, and the two of them covered the quilt and talked well.

But this night was obviously not so easy, it didn't take long for Ye Ronghuan to stay here enough and wanted to go out for a walk, Ji Qinghe just helped her up, Yuan Ruike came over and said, "Qinghe, grandpa is looking for you." "Oh, what is Grandpa Ding looking for me?"

Yuan Ruike said: "I don't know, it should be very important, he is waiting for you in the study now." ”

As soon as he heard this, Ji Qinghe subconsciously twisted his eyebrows.

Den?

What can Grandpa Ding do when he is looking for him?

It stands to reason that the elders let him go over and shouldn't shirk it, but now that Ye Ronghuan is here, he is not at ease, so he said: "Please Miss Yuan go and talk to Grandpa Ding, I am really a little inconvenient now, if there is something important, I will visit in person another day." ”

Yuan Ruike was a little stunned, glanced at Ye Ronghuan, and guessed why he refused.

"Are you worried that Miss Ye has no one to take care of? It's okay, I can take care of it for you, nothing will happen, I think grandpa should really have something important, you still ......"

"Okay, I'll go. Ji Qinghe didn't wait for her to finish, then said.

Yuan Ruike's expression relaxed, "Then you go, Miss Ye's side, I'll ......"

"No need. Ji Qinghe bluntly refused.

Why didn't he feel at ease? Wasn't most of the reason still Yuan Ruike? Leaving Ye Ronghuan in her care? Did Yuan Ruike think he was a fool?

"Come with me. Ji Qinghe said to Ye Ronghuan.

Ye Ronghuan doesn't care, even if Ji Qinghe asks her to stay here, she won't have any opinions, in front of so many people, does Yuan Ruike dare to do anything to her?

At most, she will move her mouth, but moving her mouth is not necessarily a loss.

But since Ji Qinghe is not at ease, it has nothing to do with him.

"But grandpa is looking for you alone......" Yuan Ruike looked a little embarrassed.

Ji Qinghe frowned again, and was about to ask if there was a lounge upstairs, when he suddenly thought, there are few people upstairs, if Yuan Ruike wants to do something, wouldn't it be very convenient?

He stopped, took out his mobile phone and called Shao Chongshan.

Shao Chongshan quickly came over and said, "It's okay, you go, I'll accompany Rong Huan, nothing will happen." ”

Ji Qinghe let go of his hand with confidence, but still instructed Ye Ronghuan a few words.

Yuan Ruike secretly gritted his teeth.

In the upstairs study, there was only Grandpa Ding, and Ji Qinghe walked in, "Grandpa Ding, is there something you are looking for me?"

Grandpa Ding smiled, "Sit." ”

Ji Qinghe had a cup of tea in front of him, it was still hot, and it should have just been poured.

"Coco said that she wanted to apologize to you and your daughter-in-law, I don't know if you gave her this chance?"

A flash of emotion flashed in Ji Qinghe's eyes, and he said, "It's been a long time since the incident, so there's no need for this." ”

"It's not necessary for you, but it's not for Coco. Grandpa Ding sighed, "Qinghe, do you know how much she cares about you, can't you give her a chance?"

Ji Qinghe's expression suddenly became cold, and he reminded: "Grandpa Ding, I am already married, and I love my wife very much. ”

Grandpa Ding looked at him and didn't speak for a while.

Ji Qinghedao: "If Grandpa Ding has nothing else, I will go down, Rong Huan is alone, I am a little uneasy." ”

He was about to stand up, but he heard Grandman Ding say: "Qinghe, you also told me in person before that you would marry Coco home." ”

Ji Qinghe paused, and said without changing his face: "That is already in the past, and everything that happened later made me understand that I am not suitable for her." ”

Grandpa Ding didn't seem to hear what he said, sighed, and continued: "My granddaughter, she is atmospheric and sensible, who doesn't boast a word or two when she sees her? I let her deal with many things, and every time I am very satisfied, but after meeting you, her intelligence and calmness are all gone, and she is just a poor person dominated by feelings, not only making such jokes, but also becoming a laughing stock in other people's mouths. ”

Ji Qinghe didn't speak, what Grandpa Ding said was right, but he didn't think it was his fault.

At the beginning, he was indeed determined to marry Yuan Ruike, but when he needed her, Yuan Ruike gave him a fatal blow and chose to withdraw from the marriage at that juncture.

At the beginning, when he thought of this, he only felt resentful, but now he felt lucky, fortunately Yuan Ruike had withdrawn from the marriage - it was true that he even wanted to thank her, but this did not mean that he owed Yuan Ruike.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Grandpa Ding was a little disappointed, and he didn't mean to say more, but said: "I'm very satisfied with you, but Coco still loves you, if you change your mind at any time, you can come and tell me at any time." ”

After a pause, he said meaningfully: "I don't know much about the feelings of your young people, but you still liked Coco before, and it didn't take long for you to fall in love with that Ye Ronghuan again, it can be seen that the matter of feelings is not as loyal as you said, especially life will not always be smooth sailing, and the ethereal thing like love often can't stand the test." ”

Ji Qinghe's eyes suddenly turned cold, "What does Grandpa Ding mean?"

"Just give you some advice. Grandpa Ding shook his head, "You can remember what I said today, and I will wait for you to come back to me at any time." ”

Coming out of the study, Ji Qinghe narrowed his eyes and looked a little cold.

Grandpa Ding wouldn't say these things for no reason, so what did he mean?

turned and was about to go downstairs, Yuan Ruike suddenly appeared in front of him, "Qinghe." ”

"Something?" Ji Qinghe frowned, not hiding his impatience.

Yuan Ruike was a little sad, "Now there is no one else here, and Ye Ronghuan is not here, why do you treat me like this?"

"What do you mean, what should I do to you if I don't do this to you?" Ji Qinghe was exhausted of patience, and he was about to leave after bypassing her.

"Qinghe!" Yuan Ruike reached out to hug him from behind.

Ji Qinghe grabbed her hand before she touched her body, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, "I warned you, but you don't seem to understand something." ”

Yuan Ruike was shocked, his body was a little stiff, "Qinghe, I ......"

"I said, I don't have the slightest affection for you, stay away from me, and don't try to meddle in the relationship between me and Rong Huan, otherwise-"

"But you obviously still like me!" Yuan Ruike's eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

Ji Qinghe's expression suddenly became gloomy, and he looked left and right to see that there was no one else here, and then he looked at Yuan Ruike, and his voice was so cold that his voice was slaggy: "Miss Yuan, please stop talking nonsense, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings between me and my wife." I like you? never! Where did you get your confidence?"

"Impossible!" Yuan Ruike retorted excitedly, "I don't believe it! How could you not like me? Have you forgotten the past when we were together? I remember it clearly, I don't believe you will forget! And you obviously keep our group photo, I don't believe you will fall in love with someone else!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? What picture of me with you? I threw those things away, and who told you I still keep them?"

Yuan Ruike was a little dazed, a little incredulous, she didn't understand why Ji Qinghe didn't want to admit it! There was no one else here, Ye Ronghuan couldn't have known, he didn't want to tell her a word in his heart? Didn't he know that her heart would hurt too?

She opened her mouth to say the existence of the group photo, but the words reached her throat, and some kind of premonition kept her from speaking.

She took a deep breath and looked at him, "I don't believe it, I don't believe what you say. ”

Ji Qinghe scolded secretly, "Who cares if you believe it or not." ”

He threw away Yuan Ruike's hand and left without looking back.

Yuan Ruike looked at his back, the hand on his side clenched into a fist, and his nails were clasped so that his palms hurt.

She turned and walked into the study.

"Grandpa. He shouted softly.

Grandpa Ding raised his head, looked at her slightly reddened eyes, felt a little distressed, sighed, shook his head and said, "He has no feelings for you." ”

"I don't believe it!" Yuan Ruike raised his voice and retorted.

Grandpa Ding didn't argue with her, but only asked, "Have you thought about it? What do you want to do? If you still think that he likes you and wants to redeem him yourself, then I won't stop you." If you want your grandfather to help you, that's fine. ”

Grandpa Ding said and sighed again.

He could clearly see that it was his granddaughter who was making a fool of herself, where did Ji Qinghe seem to have a little affection for her? In his eyes, there was clearly only one Ye Ronghuan.

But Yuan Ruike stubbornly didn't want to believe it.

Yuan Ruike opened her mouth, she said that Ji Qinghe loved her, and she could get back together with him on her own, but after being silent for a long time, she still said: "Grandpa, help me, I can't live without him." ”

Grandpa Ding was not surprised by her choice, "You can wait." ”

Ji Qinghe didn't stay long, and not long after coming down from the study, he took Ye Ronghuan home.

Shao Chongshan didn't meet anyone who matched his taste, and he was too lazy to stay, so he left together, and the three of them sat in a car.

"What did Old Man Ding say to you?" Shao Chongshan really couldn't imagine what Grandpa Ding could say to Ji Qinghe.

Ji Qinghe glanced at Ye Ronghuan and said, "In terms of business, he wants to cooperate with the Ji family, but I have to go back and discuss this matter with my grandfather, so I didn't agree." ”

Shao Chongshan didn't suspect anything, since the last time Yuan Ruike's incident, many cooperation between the Ji family and the Yuan family and the Ding family have been terminated, the Ding family's banquet is so big, anyone with a discerning eye can see some clues, and there is really nothing wrong with Grandpa Ding talking to Ji Qinghe about this.

"The Ding family made such a big move so suddenly? I didn't notice any signs before. Shao Chongshan said strangely, "Old Man Ding's sons are not talented in business, and they have not made any great achievements over the years, so the Ding family has fallen silent, and now is Old Man Ding going out of the mountain in person?

Ji Qinghe didn't answer, thoughtful.

Although the Ding family has been silent for some years, Mr. Ding was not a mediocre talent when he was young, so he worked hard to build such a big family business.

Shao Chongshan was still wondering why Old Man Ding wanted to make a comeback, and Ji Qinghe thought of the conversation in the study before, and his eyes suddenly darkened.

"What's wrong?" he grabbed Ye Ronghuan's hand and suddenly tightened, and Ye Ronghuan looked up at him strangely.

"It's fine. Ji Qinghe smiled, "Sleepy, sleep leaning on me." ”

He carefully took the man into his arms.

"Ah yes, I saw Brother Ming just now. Shao Chongshan said suddenly.

Ji Qinghe raised his head.

Ye Ronghuan also opened his eyes and looked over.

Shao Chongshan said: "He came a little late, I went to see Yue Yue last time, and I heard my aunt say that he was very busy these days, which seems to be true." ”

He added: "I saw several people in the Ding family talking to him, and their attitude was not ordinary enthusiasm, I don't know if there is cooperation between them, have you heard any rumors recently?"

Ji Qinghe narrowed his eyes and said, "Just ask." ”

"You ask?"

Ji Qinghe looked at him: "Of course you asked." ”

He went to ask, and wondered, did Yun Ming probably tell him? It would be good if the two of them didn't fight.

"Okay, I'll go. Shao Chongshan himself was also curious, so he agreed directly.

Glancing at Ye Ronghuan, he hesitated for some words and didn't say anything.

The driver sent him home, and after getting out of the car, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Ji Qinghe: Brother Ming has no thoughts about Rong Huan now, right?

Shao Chongshan felt that although the previous situation was a bit fucked, but now that it is fine, it is better to repair the relationship between brothers for so many years.

Ji Qinghe in the car saw the news, but sneered silently.

Yun Ming has no idea about Ye Ronghuan?

Yun Ming didn't do anything for a while, but he wasn't a fool, whether he really gave up or was waiting for an opportunity to move, couldn't he see it?

Even Shao Chongshan, who is often brainless, will be deceived by the illusion created by Yun Ming.

Old Man Ding carefully checked some news, and then ordered: "Arrange it, I will personally visit Second Master Wei." ”

The people below hurriedly responded.

Thinking of something, he said, "Yun Ming has also arranged it over there, and I will talk to him personally." ”
