Chapter 139: Birthday Banquet (3)
Fu Zijun's purpose tonight was to accompany Ji Qingling to make a scene, he didn't want his family affairs to become a joke in the eyes of others, their Fu family had been ridiculed a lot in the past few years, he didn't want to add another incident tonight for no reason, and his face was gloomy and he was ready to open his mouth to argue.
Ji Qingling knew Fu Zijun's scruples, squeezed his hand gently, and then attracted Zhao Yajing's attention to himself with a smile, "Mom, tonight is Mrs. Cui's birthday banquet, why didn't you see Xinyi?" The last time I saw her and you at Mayor Zhao's cocktail party, did she go back to the United States? ”
She even dared to mention that drinking party? Zhao Yajing looked at her incredulously, Ji Qingbao was ridiculous and unbelievable, everyone knew about it, even she felt that her face was dull, this shameless daughter-in-law still shamelessly brought it up, she was so angry that her teeth itched, I don't know if it was because Ji Qingling was angry about the cocktail party, or because she mentioned Cui Xinyi, the person she least wanted to mention now.
Zhao Yajing has always had a close relationship with Cui Xinyi, and she came to attend Mrs. Cui's birthday banquet today to save face for Cui Xinyi.
Who knew that after arriving at the scene, those rumors would come out, she didn't want to believe it, but today is Mrs. Cui's birthday banquet, no one should be so bold to make rumors about the Cui family on this occasion, right?
Seeing that Lin Yanping and Cui Xinyi's mother and daughter were both absent, she felt even more bottomless in her heart, they said that Cui Xinyi's mental illness had a nose and eyes, and what made her feel incomprehensible was that instead of coming out to refute the rumors, the pretending to be silent would make people feel that the rumors were true.
Could it be that Cui Xinyi is really crazy? Obviously, she was still with her a few days ago, and she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her, how could she say that she was crazy?
She felt very embarrassed, this embarrassment may even exceed Cui Mingyuan and his wife, she and a mentally ill person are old friends, and they think that she can be her daughter-in-law all the time, doesn't that mean that she herself is not normal?
Ji Qingling's seemingly innocent question, but it actually poked her sore spot, she looked around with a frustration, and found that the eyes around her were very subtle, and her heart was even more bitter, "What nonsense are you talking about?" I don't know Cui Xinyi well, how do I know where she went? Just take care of yourself, what do you do with so much nosy? ”
is different from her roundabout and tactful attitude towards her son, she has always been so straightforward to Ji Qingling, but today's condescending rebuke has a little more of a weak heart.
"Mom, I know you like Xinyi, but ......" Ji Qingling pretended to be pitiful, and made Zhao Yajing angry, she couldn't wait to break up the relationship with Cui Xinyi immediately, but she deliberately said this kind of thing in front of people.
Zhao Yajing's angry appearance pleased Ji Qingling, she was aggrieved for a few seconds, and then pretended to be virtuous and generous and said, "Mom, let's go toast to Mrs. Cui, she has just recognized her grandson, and today is a double happiness." ”
Zhao Yajing looked at her contemptuously, "Why are you so undignified, what kind of serious grandson is an illegitimate child?" Uneducated things lose the face of our Fu family all day long. ”
"Mom, what you said is, who let my own mother go early, you usually only spend time with Xinyi, I can't find someone to teach." Ji Qingling completely ignored her domineering, grabbed her sore feet and kept stepping on it, "But tonight's birthday banquet is serious, and my granddaughter doesn't know why she can't come, Xiheng can come to celebrate Mrs. Cui's birthday, which is also a good thing for the Cui family." ”
Zhao Yajing had long known that this daughter-in-law was no longer as weak and deceitful as she was at the beginning, but at this moment, she was still so angry that her heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys hurt, her previous friendship with Cui Xinyi had become a piece of her heart, but Ji Qingling poked her sore spot twice from time to time, looking at the mocking and sarcastic eyes around her, she couldn't wait to find a hole to get into, how could her son marry such a woman.
Zhao Yajing has been pampered all her life, with a strong personality, and she used to look down on Ji Qingling's cowardice and cowardice, but now she sees that she talks and laughs freely in this kind of social situation, and even hides a knife in her smile, and there is an indescribable unhappiness in her heart, she would rather she be the only little daughter-in-law in the past, at least much easier to handle than now.
And on the other side of the Cui family, the drama of the illegitimate son recognizing his relatives is still being staged.
"Mom, you're old and confused, we never knew this person, what kind of grandson is he?" Cui Mingyuan's younger brother immediately jumped out and shouted loudly.
"Is it my grandson, I know in my heart, I don't need you to make a big noise here, if you still treat me as your mother, just shut up for me." Mrs. Cui is also a strong person, her husband died early, she single-handedly brought up several sons, especially the Cui family, which was founded by the eldest son, and she also contributed a lot in the early days, so she is definitely a Lafayette-level real power figure at home, even Lin Yanping, the daughter-in-law of everyone, has to be respectful to her, at this time, the youngest son she didn't look down on dared to come out and yell at her, of course she couldn't tolerate it.
"Grandma, could it be a mistake?" Cui Mingyuan's nephews didn't dare to yell at Mrs. Cui, so they could only hold back their bitterness and persuade softly, "Uncle has always been strict, how can he hide from his aunt outside......"
"Yes, my aunt would be sad if she knew......
"Could it be that someone with a heart is taking advantage of it?"
These people talk non-stop around Mrs. Cui word by word, although the attitude is gentle and kind, but anyone who is surrounded by such a large group of people buzzing and persuading them will feel upset, let alone an old lady in her seventies and eighties.
"Enough!" Old Madam Cui was angry, "I said that I know in my heart, you all shut up for me, if anyone still wants to make noise, get out of Cui's family." ”
Everyone present was shocked, whether it was the Cui family or the guests, they didn't expect that Mrs. Cui would value this illegitimate son so much, and she firmly believed him without asking about the merits, and the eyes that looked at Cui Xiheng also changed from contempt to solemnity, this kid is quite good at pouring ecstasy soup, does Mrs. Cui want him to take over the Cui family?
Everyone knows what kind of existence Mrs. Cui is to Cui's family, although she usually does not interfere with Cui's operation, but her opinion often plays a decisive role in decision-making.
Even Cui Mingyuan looked at Cui Xiheng thoughtfully at this moment.
Mrs. Cui no matter what they think, what she cares about is her majesty in the Cui family, just a few days before the birthday banquet, she was privately informed of Cui Xiheng's cunzài, after the investigation of her henchmen, it was also confirmed, and later this grandson who had never met also gave her a gift that was very popular with her, regardless of whether this grandson was an illegitimate child or not, as a mother, she values her son Cui Mingyuan's flesh and blood as much, it doesn't matter to her who the child's mother is, since it is the child of the Cui family, He must not be left out.
At that time, she was firm in her idea of letting Cui Xiheng recognize her ancestors and return to her ancestors, and she was very dismissive of Cui Mingyuan's fear that Lin Yanping had never dared to announce Cui Xiheng's existence, although Lin Yanping had a good background, she shouldn't be so jealous as a woman.
Although she was dissatisfied, considering that Lin Yanping had been very respectful to her in recent years, and then worried about the face of the Lin family, she did not let Cui Xiheng appear tonight, and was ready to start this matter in a low-key manner after the birthday banquet, and also gave the Lin family some time to accept this child.
Who would have thought that she was worried about the Lin family, but the Lin family ignored the Cui family, on such a big day today, friends from the social circle of City A came, and the Lin family not only did not send anyone here, but even Lin Yanping, who is the eldest son's daughter-in-law, and Cui Xinyi, the eldest granddaughter, were also absent. Coupled with the rumors and rumors that everyone talked about before, it had made her dissatisfaction and anger against the Lin family rise to the highest point.
Since the Lin family refused to give her this face, why should she care about the Lin family anymore, the moment Cui Xiheng appeared, she was indeed surprised, but she quickly reacted that this was a good opportunity, let him recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors in front of everyone, rather than let the Cui family be controlled by the Lin family, it was better to give it to Cui Xiheng, the grandson of the righteous children.
She has always been a person who must be revenged, and since the Lin family slapped her in the face, she had to beat her back.
Old Mrs. Cui not only expressed her attitude in public, but also gave a lot of protection to Cui Xiheng in her words, Cui Mingyuan's brothers have always been in awe of this old lady, even if Cui Mingyuan is dissatisfied with Cui Xiheng's self-assertion, he really loves his son, and he feels that he was cold just now, which can be regarded as a small punishment and a big commandment, and now he will naturally not continue to make things difficult, and this opportunity is indeed very good, after tonight, Cui Xiheng will be able to return to his home smoothly, and he will save his future arrangements, and his face will be a little more smiling.
"Xiheng is now reviewing for the graduate school entrance examination, and he is usually very nervous about studying, I originally asked him to review his homework well, and then come to celebrate your birthday when he is admitted to graduate school, but this child is still filial piety, and he has to come over without telling me." Cui Mingyuan patted Cui Xiheng's shoulder with a smile, as if he was a loving father, as if nothing happened just now.
"The child studies hard, you can't be too strict as a father, and you don't have to take the graduate exam, practice is more important than dead study, and the Cui family will also be handed over to him in the future, I don't want to take the exam if I see the graduate school, and the advanced Cui family will experience for a while, otherwise who will inherit your huge family business in the future?" Mrs. Cui looked at Cui Xiheng's face very kindly, in fact, she didn't know much about this grandson, but the children of the third generation of the Cui family were all Adou who couldn't be supported, and she could only pin her hopes on this grandson with a rough background.
