() A few days later, it will be Mr. Ji's birthday party.

Lin Manrong was still reluctant to go over, but after thinking about it carefully, there was not much time left for her to promise Old Man Ji, and it was not even a month.

She has to continue to stay in City C, Old Man Ji is the most difficult level, no matter what, she has to know what Old Man Ji thinks now.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Manrong followed Ji Citing to the banquet.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine, I brought you here just to let them know that I have already made up my mind in my heart." Ji Citing held Lin Manrong tightly with one hand, and before he went in, he began to comfort.

The corners of Lin Manrong's lips raised, he tilted his head sideways, tried to make himself look indifferent, and said with a very indifferent look: "I know, and I don't have anything to worry about, after all, this is also a birthday party." ”

"Hmm."

Ji Citing couldn't help but increase the strength of the hand holding Lin Manrong by a few points, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

As soon as he arrived at the banquet, Ji Citing first took Lin Manrong to meet Old Man Ji and Mrs. Ji, and as soon as he came over, Lin Manrong was suddenly a little stunned.

"Lin Wan?"

Lin Manrong reflexively spit out two words from his mouth, only to see Lin Wan holding Mrs. Ji's arm with one hand, looking like she was laughing, Yi Anqi was also on the side, but it was Old Man Ji, who looked very leisurely and comfortable, and was still drinking tea with a teacup in his hand.

The banquet had not officially started yet, and the guests outside were still walking into the hotel one after another.

Lin Manrong pursed his lips lightly, glanced around casually, and just met the old man's gaze last season, his heart beat violently.

Ji Citing stood beside Lin Manrong, and didn't notice anything wrong with Lin Manrong on the side, but when he saw Lin Wan, his brows furrowed, his eyes stared at Lin Wan in front of him, and he asked without any good tone: "What are you doing here?" Get out! ”

There was no trace of euphemism in Ji Citing's words, it was extremely direct, and his face was extremely unhappy, anyway, when he saw this Lin Wan, Ji Citing's mood was not very good.

Thinking of the good things Lin Wan had done before, Ji Citing really wanted someone to kick her out with a broom.

Lin Wan was stunned for a moment, and when Ji Citing said that, his face suddenly felt embarrassed, and he almost didn't find a crack in the ground to get into, "Mr. Ji, I ......"

"I asked her to come."

The old lady Ji on the side opened her mouth, and her originally happy face suddenly became gloomy, especially when she saw Lin Manrong beside Ji Citing, her face was even more displeased.

"Xiao Wan saved my life at the beginning, is it possible, can't I invite her over to your grandfather's birthday party now?" Mrs. Ji continued to ask rhetorically.

Ji Citing's face froze, seeing that Mrs. Ji had already said this, Ji Citing didn't want to say anything, but just glanced in the direction of Lin Wan with sharp eyes, "You'd better settle down, don't play any tricks on me." ”

Lin Wan didn't say anything, just pretended to be very well-behaved and nodded, "Mr. Ji, I just came here to attend Old Man Ji's birthday banquet." ”

Ji Citing snorted lightly and didn't look at Lin Wan again.

Today is because at Old Man Ji's birthday banquet, Ji Citing doesn't want to talk about such a mess.

"Xiaoman, we haven't seen each other for a long time." The corners of Lin Wan's lips raised, looking like he was with Lin

Manrong is very intimate.

Lin Manrong chuckled lightly and responded with two words simply, "Yes." ”

The other people around may not know what Lin Wan is doing here, but Lin Manrong is clear, as far as Lin Wan's careful thinking is concerned, it is exactly the same as the original flower spirit.

By now, Lin Wan must have known in his heart that it was useless to continue hanging on the tree of Ji Citing, and it was better to find someone else.

And the people who can come to Mr. Ji's birthday banquet are definitely not simple characters.

In other words, it is not so much that Lin Wan is here to attend the birthday banquet, but rather that Lin Wan is here to fish for the golden beetle.

This Lin Wan is really going to take advantage of the opportunity!

Yi Anqi on the side, her beautiful face was always full of everything that seemed to have nothing to do with her, but she could see it all clearly.

The air had just been quiet for a few seconds, and a man suddenly came out of nowhere, and said in a crisp voice: "It's almost time, why are you staying inside?" ”

Ji Ciyan held a wine glass in one hand, and as soon as he came in, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

As soon as he saw Lin Manrong, Ji Ciyan suddenly remembered something.

"Big brother, you give the gift to grandpa and come out, everyone is waiting." Ji Ciyan coughed lightly and said with a smile.

Ji Citing put the small gift box in his hand in front of Old Man Ji, "Grandpa, happy birthday." ”

After speaking, Ji Citing took Lin Manrong's hand and planned to walk outside.

"Wait a minute."

Old Man Ji, who had been silent just now and didn't speak, suddenly spoke, and stood up from the chair with a leading cane in one hand.

Old Man Ji walked over step by step in the direction of Ji Citing, and opened his mouth with a serious face, "You go out first, you also go out, I have something to talk to Xiao Man alone." ”

As soon as the words came out, not to mention Lin Manrong, even Ji Ciyan, who was standing at the door, felt his heart beat violently.

Old man Ji, who has always had opinions about his sister-in-law, suddenly wanted to say something alone with his sister-in-law, and no matter how he listened, he felt a little panicked.

Ji Citing, who was standing beside Lin Manrong, held Lin Manrong's hand tighter with one hand, and opened his mouth in a low voice, "Grandpa, if there is anything, it is the same as you say it." ”

After speaking, Ji Citing shifted his gaze to the direction of Old Man Ji, and looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the entire room suddenly became a little depressing.

He brought Lin Manrong over, but he didn't want Old Man Ji to take Lin Manrong to talk alone or anything.

Ji Citing held Lin Manrong's hand and was about to lead Lin Manrong to walk outside, but Lin Manrong's footsteps stopped in place, and suddenly said: "Citing, then you go out first, it just so happens that I have something to do." ”

Ji Citing's face sank, and he originally wanted to say something, but he saw a shallow smile on Lin Manrong's face, looking very casual

"Alright, I'll wait for you outside."

Lin Manrong nodded, "I see." ”

Then everyone in the room walked outside, leaving only the two people of Old Man Ji and Lin Manrong.

Ji Ciyan couldn't help but turn her head and glance behind her, and she felt a cold sweat in her heart.

After a while, the room fell completely silent.

Lin Manrong stood in place for a while, in fact, she knew very well in her heart, even if she didn't come over today,

Old Man Ji will look for her sooner or later, and he knows better what Old Man Ji is looking for her.

Old Man Ji sat on the sofa with a dragon head cane in one hand, "Unexpectedly, you are quite scheming." ”

Lin Manrong pinched the clothes on his body with one hand, turned around, and let Old Man Ji say something there.

"Now that you know about my pregnancy, the five-month period ......"

Halfway through the words, Lin Manrong suddenly stopped, and didn't want to mention the matter of the child anymore, after all, she wanted to stay now, not because of pregnancy.

Another large part of the reason is because of Ji's resignation.

"I want to stay in City C." Lin Manrong opened his mouth firmly, without hesitation, and continued to add: "You can mention any conditions, and I can agree." ”

Old Man Ji clenched the dragon head crutch in his hand, and his face became more and more ugly.

When he knew that Lin Manrong was pregnant, Old Man Ji had already thought that Lin Manrong would make this request.

"If you want to go back on it, you can go back on it? Do you think you have room for bargaining with me? Old Man Ji stared at Lin Manrong with sharp eyes, and he didn't seem to want to back down.

Lin Manrong's heart pounded.

Before she came, she guessed that Old Man Ji would not be so easy to speak, but now that she is really facing this matter, she still has a little headache.

No matter what method she uses, she will not leave City C, and she doesn't want to leave Ji Citing.

"I know your status in City C, and I've heard of your previous legends,." Lin Manrong tried his best to calm down, and on the surface, he seemed to be fearless and had no expression, "I also guessed, you won't agree, so, no matter what you think of me, if you can't continue to let me stay with the resignation court, then this kid naturally has nothing to do with your Ji family." ”

When he heard the last sentence, Old Man Ji's face changed suddenly, from the seriousness just now to the consternation, and then to the final unwillingness.

Lin Manrong's face was cold, and when he saw that Old Man Ji couldn't say a word for a while, he continued to add: "Since your Ji family doesn't care about this child, then I don't need to care." ”

Old Man Ji's strength in grasping the dragon's head crutches became stronger and stronger, and his face was ugly for a while.

At the beginning, he had been forcing Ji Citing to get married, just to hold a grandson, after all, Ji Citing was not too young, and he was about to be thirty years old.

finally has a woman who can make Ji Citing look at her, and this woman is Lin Manrong.

No matter how dissatisfied they were with Lin Manrong, the child in her belly was the blood of the Ji family, no matter what, it was the blood of the Ji family, how could it be casually not wanted.

Old Man Ji's face was tense, and he got up from the sofa with a dragon head cane.

"Okay, I promise you to let you stay in City C, but you can't use a penny of the Ji family, let alone get any benefits from the Ji family!" Old Man Ji said word by word, his tone was sharp and there was no room for negotiation.

The corners of Lin Manrong's lips were raised, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.

The two people of the Ji family are old men......

Lin Manrong really didn't know how to complain anymore, with prejudice against her, he would actually think that she was interested in the Ji family's money.

If she really wants money, with her ability, it's just time, and she doesn't need to rely on the Ji family at all.
