Chapter 39: Visiting (3)

Follow Nancy all the way to the small hall where the master is meeting, unlike last time, the living room is frighteningly quiet, at this time the maid and maid are holding drinks and drinks, shuttling back and forth between handsome men and beautiful women, one by one is very imposing. When he arrived at George, who was chatting quietly with Kuqi, Ji Xin greeted him first.

"George, good afternoon, it's a pleasure to be here again"

Stopping the conversation, old George, who was on crutches, stepped forward with a smile and gave Ji Xin a hug, "You are welcome back at any time, child" and then looked at Lisa who was following Ji Xin, and nodded, "You are also welcome, beautiful girl." ”

After greeting each other, the old man coughed softly, instantly attracting the attention of the nearby guests who had been paying attention to this side. "This is a junior, you are also relatives, today I want him to meet a few friends, while the time is still early, everyone knows each other first" So the men who always maintained etiquette nodded and shook hands, and the women curtsied. Seeing this, Ji Xin smiled at the old man, "George, this is too grand." ”

"Where, I'm sure everyone will have a good night." George said as if he meant something.

Ji Xin introduced Lisa sideways according to the etiquette of the next step: "This young lady is my female companion Lisa, Miss Margaret Armstrong-Jones." ”

Lisa smiled and curtsy with her skirt in hand, "It's a pleasure to be here." It's an honor to meet you! ”

"Thank you for the compliment! Beautiful Miss! George was very happy and seemed pleased with Lisa's etiquette. Pointing to several gorgeously dressed men and women next to him, he took the initiative to introduce: "This is my eldest nephew Charles, and his son Henry; The other, of course, is the little nephew Edward, and the niece Catherine! After thinking about it, George had an explanation, "My indifferent son who told you last time was wandering around all day, and he didn't come today, and I'll get to know you next time"

Ji Xin smiled and nodded in understanding, and then took the initiative to shake hands one by one, while Lisa came to the ladies to talk about enduring topics such as bags, cosmetics, fashion trends, etc.

At this time, Charles and the others glanced at each other, their faces remained silent, and they continued to pretend to be affectionate. The shock in his heart is not small, it seems that Uncle George attaches much more importance to this Chinese boy than expected, otherwise he would not take the initiative to explain his son's whereabouts, and he is not afraid that the other party will misunderstand?

"Uncle Charles, I suddenly have a bad premonition." Edward raised his glass to Ji Xin and talked about the banquet in his mouth.

"Calm down, brother" Charles frowned slightly, "Your situation is too bad, I'm afraid that the plan will be discovered by others before it starts, especially the old man Kutch who knows the roots"

"Relax? To put it lightly, "Edward has not been a bitter snack like his eldest brother, and has even been a cowboy for a short time." Now that the pressure is great, I can't hold it back, and even my voice has inadvertently raised a lot, "You must know that since my uncle became the head of the family, he has always issued orders, and there are really only a handful of people who care so much, do you think George is really a philanthropist?" ”

"Uncle Edward, watch the occasion" Henry, who was standing aside and silent, couldn't help but remind, "Although your worries are indeed necessary, we are also ready to send them."

The eldest brother glanced at his son approvingly, only such an excellent heir can carry forward the family, not hand it over to those foreign idiots, "That's right, Edward, the most important thing is to panic in the face of war." Charles drank all the wine in the glass and persuaded his younger brother, but also to convince himself that "it is impossible to change the plan, not to mention that those friends who know the inside story have already arrived, do you want to go out and lose face in the future?" Having said that, looking at the old and young people who were chatting happily not far away, a trace of worry appeared in the eyes of several people.

During the chat, Ji Xin knew that the originally planned banquet was limited to his family and a few close friends, such as the housekeeper Kuqi and the family's personal lawyer, but things could never be smooth sailing, let alone this kind of occasion similar to the launch of the next generation core? So the big guys of the same size as the Wilson family wanted to take the opportunity to test it, those small businessmen tried to expand their network, and even many celebrities wanted to take the opportunity to expose themselves.

"Anyway, it's a masked stage, don't worry too much" George looked at Lisa's sad face, revealing a little behind-the-scenes information. "Xin, just play well, I will help you prepare what you need"

"Well, I know, but George, we have to talk about it after the banquet" Ji Xin knew that he couldn't refuse now, but a big whirlpool unfolding around himself was still uncomfortable.

"That's for later, let's go change clothes first, I see that the guests seem to be almost here" George smiled and nodded, as if facing his ignorant grandson.

Don't look at what George said lightly, but the people below have been busy for a long time. Even the details are well prepared, such as clothes and watches, which are standard for successful people. was taken to the dressing room by the servants, and Ji Xin, who has never paid attention to his clothes, has a lot of knowledge this time.

A set of straight tuxedoless evening dresses hung on the hanger and waited quietly for his owner, Ji Xin touched the material, it was very soft. Although there is no brand label on the clothes, Ji Xin understands that this is a real private customization, completely handmade, and the price is not much higher than that of the outside store, and it is not possible to qualify if you have money.

For example, the designer's own shop for Queen Elizabeth II is only a few dozen square meters, but every day she receives invitations, there will be a few sacks, and the century-old brand reputation makes her disdain to advertise at all.

Ji Xin knows a watch on the table, the Montblanc anniversary model, without the sparkle of diamonds, and the atmospheric and simple design is quite the temperament of the owner.

Ji Xinlisuo changed into formal clothes, and when he went out, he found that there was no need to be in such a hurry, everything was planned, and the most important thing was that Lisa, who was accompanied by Nancy to change clothes, had not yet finished dressing up.

"Dong Dong" Ji Xin, who waited for a few minutes, was a little impatient, in fact, in his own opinion, Lisa was wearing the orthodox evening dress when she visited, but it was cute, and there was no need to do it at all, "Hurry up, it's not too early."

"What's the hurry, I don't know if the lady won't see people casually before she puts on her makeup?" Nancy opened a crack and stuck out her head, despising Ji Xin as usual.

Lisa seems to be addicted to pretending to be a good wife and mother, and today she is gentle all the way to the end, "Okay, sister Nancy, Ji Xin is also kind, anyway, the clothes have been changed, why don't we go now." ”
