Chapter 316: When the Engagement Takes Place
Soon it was the day of the engagement banquet, and the Huo family's engagement banquet must be very pompous.
They booked the hotel for a long time alone, because the only five-star banquet hall in Liangcheng was very busy, and it often took a long time to get a reservation, and this time it was all because of the relationship between the Huo family.
Wen Chutong has her own little sister to accompany her to make up in the dressing room, and the makeup artist is also a well-known person in the industry, in short, this engagement meets all her fantasies about engagement, and she herself is very satisfied.
Where there are many women, there are more comparisons, and one of Wen Chutong's little sisters said to her enviously: "Chutong, you are really a good fate, you actually want to be the young grandmother of the Huo family, that is the Huo family, in the future, you will have endless blessings." β
"That's it, don't forget to pull us by then." The best friend said even more enviously.
Wen Chutong smiled proudly, "Don't worry, if I'm good, you can all get better." β
She is very happy in her heart now, even if Huo Ming doesn't like her in her heart, she doesn't want to marry her!
So sometimes it's not about what you want, it's about what you get.
There were a lot of people here today, not only the people who were notified by Huo Ming, but there were also many people who were notified by Huo's father, and he had never treated Huo Ming like this before.
Generally speaking, Huo Ming has a thing, he can push it, and if he can, he won't appear.
Today, Huo Ming was very surprised to change the situation in the past and become so active, he didn't become happy or anything because of this, on the contrary, he felt that Huo's father might have bad intentions.
It's no wonder that he thinks so, the key is that Father Huo has done this kind of thing countless times.
He just didn't seem to want Huo Ming to be happy and happy, as long as Huo Ming had something good, he would definitely come out to make trouble, so this time Huo Ming felt that it was no exception, he gave the assistant a look, and asked the assistant to quietly pay attention to Huo's father's movements. γ
There are a lot of people here today, so it's better not to have any problems.
There were also some people who came to hear the wind, but they all returned in the end because they didn't have an invitation, although these people didn't really bless Huo Ming, but they undoubtedly added a lot of topics to today's engagement banquet.
Soon Wen Chutong put on her makeup, she looked at herself in the mirror with bright eyes and bright teeth and was very happy, today she must be the most shining presence in the audience.
Surrounded by his girlfriends, Wen Chutong walked out of the dressing room and came to the hall to stand with Huo Ming to receive guests.
At that time, Huo Ming did receive guests at the door, not only him, but Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo were also at the door, and the old couple also invited a lot of old friends today.
Wen Chutong walked to Huo Ming's side, thinking about showing a wave of affection with Huo Ming in front of everyone, but Huo Ming saw her with a faint expression, and there was no joy of being a fiancΓ© at all, Wen Chutong was very unhappy.
However, probably because Grandma Huo was also beside her, although Huo Ming was impatient, she still didn't push Wen Chutong away, and the two of them stood together, which was a good match.
Many of the guests present today sent their blessings to Wen Chutong, and she accepted them with a smile one by one, today is her home field, and she will not be unhappy because of a little thing.
Gradually, she stayed away from Huo Ming's side in order to entertain guests.
Seeing this, Grandma Huo hurriedly walked to Huo Ming's side and whispered to her, "Can't you be happy?" β
The old man is very angry, today is an engagement banquet, but the actor looks unhappy, and others will definitely gossip when they see it.
Huo Ming frowned, he really didn't know how to behave for a while to look happier, he didn't have any happy or unhappy emotions in his heart now, but was very calm.
Grandma Huo could only sigh when she saw this, this grandson, it's good everywhere, but it's a little dull to feelings.
Wen Chutong just turned her head to look over, but when she saw Grandma Huo sighing and Huo Ming frowning, she suddenly became even more unhappy in her heart, what are these grandparents and grandchildren doing?
Do you have to be so unhappy on such a festive day?
Huo Ming doesn't say anything, why is Grandma Huo like this now, if people see it, they still think that their Huo family doesn't want to marry her at all.
There are so many people in Wen Chutong's heart, there are so many people here today, except for the people of the Wen family, everyone else is a guest of the Huo family, in the eyes of these people, she must work hard to maintain her elegance!
Soon, the assistant walked to Huo Ming's side and told him that Ji Shiyi had brought the children here.
Huo Ming was surprised, "Why is she here?" β
Grandma Huo on the side asked puzzledly, "Who is here?" β
Under Huo Ming's instructions, the assistant told Grandma Huo about Ji Shiyi bringing the children here.
Grandma Huo was very happy when she heard this, "The children are here too?" Where? Take me over and see it. β
Since Ji Jingming came home, she hadn't seen these two little guys for a while, and she missed them very much.
At this time, Grandpa Huo also walked over, "What's so happy?" β
"The two little ones are here, and I'm going to look for them." Grandma Huo said with a smile.
Grandpa Huo saw that Grandma Huo was so high-tech, and he was in a good mood, "Okay, I'll accompany you." β
Wen Chutong also came over at this time, she heard that Ji Shiyi came with the children, she was very dissatisfied, she went to send the invitation just to see Ji Shiyi's sad appearance, but she didn't really want her to participate.
Besides, Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo's attitude towards Ji Shiyi is too good, have they forgotten that the person who wants to be engaged to Huo Ming is her Wen Chutong.
Dissatisfaction rose in her heart, but she still had a smile on her face.
Especially when she saw Ji Shiyi walk in, she smiled even sweeter.
Ji Shiyi didn't expect Grandma Huo and Grandpa Huo to come out to greet them, she was very embarrassed, although it was because of the children, but on this occasion today, she was still very embarrassed to see Grandma Huo attach so much importance to their mother and son.
Especially her identity is so sensitive, she simply let the children and Grandma Huo go first, and she walked into the venue slowly behind by herself.
When she walked to the door and saw Wen Chutong holding Huo Ming with a sweet face, she felt sad for a moment.
But in the next second, she returned to normal, walked in front of Huo Ming and the others, and congratulated them with a smile, "Congratulations, I wish you a happy life in the future, and a full house of children and grandchildren!" β
She was sincere, but Wen Chutong felt that she was provoking.
How could Ji Shiyi really be so calm, Wen Chutong sneered in his heart, and then held Huo Ming to express his gratitude to Ji Shiyi, "Thank you so much for your blessings, we will definitely be happy for a long time." β
When she showed her affection, she didn't look at Huo Ming's face at all, because she didn't dare, she was afraid that Huo Ming would give her a cold face, so that she would have no face at all in front of Ji Shiyi.
But fortunately, Huo Ming didn't say anything, just looked at Ji Shiyi with a cold face.
At this time, Ji Jingming came over, he took Ji Shiyi's hand to observe Wen Chutong, and then said, "Auntie, the engagement ring on your hand is not as big as the ring when Uncle Huo proposed to my mommy." β
He did it on purpose, he just didn't want to see Wen Chutong like this, and he couldn't see Wen Chutong bullying his mommy.
Sure enough, after Wen Chutong heard this, his face changed, and he became much more ugly.
Ji Shiyi hurriedly covered Ji Jingming's mouth, "Don't talk nonsense." β
The last thing she likes to mention now is the past between her and Huo Ming, which is really embarrassing, so she pulled Ji Jingming and prepared to leave, leaving the money, she sincerely blessed Huo Ming and Wen Chutong again.
She really blessed her with sincerity today, and I hope Wen Chutong won't think about it too much.
At this time, Ji Jinghuan had already found Li Mingji, he walked to Li Mingji's side and shouted, "Master! β
"You're here," Li Mingji looked down at him, "Where's your mommy?" β
"Mommy and her brother are over there." Ji Jinghuan pointed casually, and the old man nodded when he saw their figures.
At this time, Grandpa Huo asked in surprise: "Lao Li, are you accepting apprentices again?" Or is this kid? β
"Haha, how's that? Envy, right? Old Man Li laughed and looked at Grandpa Huo.
He didn't believe that Grandpa Huo didn't know Ji Jinghuan's intelligence, and since he knew, he would definitely envy him.
Not to mention, Grandpa Huo really didn't feel so surprised, if Huo Ming was a piece of jade back then, then Ji Jingming is even more so now, he will only be better than Huo Ming.
After all, this is Huo Ming's biological son, Grandpa Huo looked at Old Man Li's smug face and secretly suppressed the thoughts in his heart, "Old Li, you surprised me again." β
"Haha, I knew you would be surprised, this kid is Huo Ming's junior brother, when I'm not there, you have to help me take good care of him." Old Man Li hasn't done much yet, and he has already begun to pave the way for Ji Jinghuan.
But he didn't know that the relationship between the Huo family and Ji Jinghuan was much closer than he thought, even if he didn't say it, the Huo family would take care of Ji Jinghuan.
He is a typical person who has to pay for the number of people who have been sold, Grandpa Huo felt very helpless when he saw his friend being hidden in the dark, how could this be so coincidental, Lao Li may only have these two apprentices in his life, and they are all members of their Huo family.
On the other hand, Wen Chutong has always been obsessed with Ji Shiyi's arrival, she doesn't want her perfect engagement banquet to be ruined by Ji Shiyi like this, so she always tries to find Ji Shiyi's trouble.
Her girlfriends were naturally on her side, so when no one was paying attention, Wen Chutong and a few people walked to Ji Shiyi's side, she finally took off all her disguises and looked at Ji Shiyi mockingly, "Ji Shiyi, don't you have a lot of men?" Why are you here alone with your children today? Your men aren't going to abandon you, are they? β
"Today is a great day for you, you don't want to talk to me about being watched by everyone, do you?" Ji Shiyi looked at Wen Chutong calmly and said.
She didn't come to find fault today, and she didn't want to ruin Wen Chutong's engagement.
Wen Chutong snorted coldly, "You're here to ruin my engagement, what's the use of saying this!" She looked at Ji Shiyi viciously.
"But didn't you give me the invitation?" Ji Shiyi looked at Wen Chutong in puzzlement, if she didn't want her to come, why did she send her an invitation?
"Hmph." When she mentioned this, Wen Chutong's face became even more ugly, and she snorted coldly and turned to leave.
She didn't want Huo Ming to find out that she was targeting Ji Shiyi, she wanted to maintain her usual gentle image in Huo Ming's heart.
But at this time, a special guest came to the banquet, this person is a rising star in the political world, Situ Lei, the second son of the Situ family, and the youngest deputy mayor of Liangcheng.
His arrival even Old Man Li and Grandpa Huo were alarmed, especially Grandpa Huo, their Huo family is a businessman, and they basically have no contact with the Situ family, and they don't know why Situ Lei came today.
However, since the people came, the Huo family wanted to entertain them well, so Grandpa Huo and Huo Ming quickly stepped forward to greet them, and there were also many people who knew Situ Lei, and they greeted them in front of the mountain.
