Chapter I
"Wen Xi, is it that grandpa has something to announce today, it always feels weird." Lin Wenya asked Ji Wenxi, who was working, a little.
Ji Wenxi tapped on the computer keyboard, occasionally looked in the direction of Lin Wenya, and said to Lin Wenya busily: "Cousin, if grandpa has nothing to do, do you think it is necessary for him to ask the whole family to go back to his hotel for dinner, usually at home, sometimes everyone doesn't sit together to eat, there must be something." β
Lin Wenya looked at Ji Wenxi and said categorically, it didn't make sense, except for the New Year's holiday, there was nothing to do, so everyone should sit down and eat together.
The last time I had dinner at my hotel, it was three years ago, and three years ago, at this time, Ji Kun, the head of the Ji family, suddenly told everyone that Ji Wenxi and the second son of the Gu family were engaged.
At that time, Ji Wenxi had only graduated from college and worked for a year, and suddenly let her get engaged early, and Ji Wenxi couldn't wait to find a hole and climb in.
Ji Wenxi was reluctant to live or die at that time, so he went on a hunger strike to fight with his family, and resolutely refused to get engaged to Gu Lincheng, but the rest of the Ji family just didn't eat it, and finally agreed to get engaged to Gu Lincheng.
It's really sinful to think about it now, but after three years of engagement, the two have never mentioned marriage, or even when they got married.
Lin Wenya sighed, and then looked at Ji Wenxi again, she was still very curious about what was going on, so curious that it had affected Ji Wenxi who was about to finish the work, Ji Wenxi let her be curious until she finished the work in hand.
Seeing that the work was almost finished, Ji Wenxi finished the rest of the work in his hand and put it down, and then said to Lin Wenya: "Are you particularly curious about what is going on?" β
"yes, very curious, you know." Lin Wenya's curious whole person walked from his workstation to Ji Wenxi's workstation.
"I don't know, it always feels like it's about my brother, and grandpa asked Gu Lincheng to go with me."
"Gu Lincheng is also going with you."
"Yes, Gu Lincheng is my fiancΓ©, and he is the quasi-grandson-in-law recognized by my grandfather, can I compare it."
"Yes, then again, you've been engaged for three years, and it's time to get married."
"Don't worry, if you want to get married, you will naturally get married, not to mention that you don't know about me and Gu Lincheng."
Lin Wenxi nodded, since Ji Wenxi and Gu Lincheng got engaged, they rarely asked about each other, and even met on weekends.
Anyway, tomorrow is the weekend, and after dinner tonight, I took the opportunity to slaughter my future cousin-in-law.
After getting off work, Ji Wenxi, who did not drive to work, was dragged by Lin Wenya to take a taxi to the hotel owned by the Ji family.
Along the way, Lin Wenya kept talking, and Ji Wenxi, who was sitting on the side, was busy with her unfinished work with her laptop and didn't take care of Lin Wenya.
Finally managed to get to the hotel, Ji Wenxi turned off the computer, then took out the change from his bag and gave it to the driver, and got out of the car.
Ji Wenxi and Lin Wenya, who got out of the car, met Gu Lincheng who had just parked the car and walked to the hotel at the door, Gu Lincheng walked towards them, and raised a hand to take care of Ji Wenxi's messy hair, and said to Ji Wenxi in a somewhat reproachful tone: "Look at you, it's the young lady of the Ji family, and you make yourself so embarrassed." β
Ji Wenxi saw Gu Lincheng blaming himself, and gave him a look of dissatisfaction, "What's the matter, I'm sorry for you, it's a big deal to dissolve the marriage contract." β
"Yo, such a big temper, I ate explosives, why didn't I drive today."
"The car was sent for maintenance, so I took the subway with my cousin to work, took a taxi after work, and sent the two of us back to the rental house after dinner."
"Well, I'll send you back later, we'll go in first."
After the two finished speaking, they walked into the hotel, and then walked into a large box commonly used by the Ji family, they casually found a close place to sit together, until the rest of the Ji family arrived, the waiter was willing to give them red wine.
At the same time, Lin Wenya asked with some curiosity why Ji Kun, the head of the Ji family, who was sitting in the middle, suddenly called everyone, Ji Kun said a little seriously: "It is indeed something to announce when you call everyone today, but let's talk about it when we are here." β
Ji Wenxi could hear the meaning of this, and felt a little weird, she held the tablecloth on her lap while expressing her inner thoughts to Gu Lincheng who was sitting next to her in a soft voice, "I always feel that something is not right, since grandpa called us to the hotel for dinner a few days ago, saying that there was something to say, it already felt wrong, it seems to have something to do with my brother, will he be like us three years ago, and then suddenly grandpa told us that he was going to marry a young lady from which family." β
"Probably not, both of us have a marriage contract, so it's hard to get your brother." Gu Lincheng was dispelling Ji Wenxi's thoughts, making her not want to think so much.
Ji Wenxi saw that Gu Lincheng was no longer caring about him, and looked in the direction of Ji Wenkai, who was sitting on his right, and said to him lightly: "Does my brother have anything to do with you, now it seems that you are much colder than before." β
"You'll find out later." Ji Wenkai said a little unhappily.
Not long after, a few people suddenly appeared in the box, and then everyone stood up, among them, there was an old man who was Ji Kun's old comrade-in-arms for many years and had experienced ups and downs, while the others were sons and daughters-in-law, grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law.
They talked for a while, and everyone was willing to sit down, but at this time, Ji Wenxi felt familiar with the girl who was the same age as herself sitting opposite, but she asked the other party directly, "The young lady opposite, I always feel that you are very familiar, it seems that we have met, are you studying in the same university and the same department as me." β
The girl sitting opposite heard Ji Wenxi asking herself, she smiled very ladylikely, "Don't you really remember me, I haven't seen you for so many years, you naturally don't remember me, not to mention that I have changed so much, it is natural." β
"Have we seen it?"
"I'm Shen Ke, that inconspicuous girl who is often bullied, it's Shen Ke who you once helped me."
When she said this, Ji Wenxi suddenly remembered what happened in college, and she vaguely remembered that there was a girl in their class who was often bullied when she was in college, and at that time that girl was not as good-looking as Shen Ke is now, but that girl was very kind, so kind that people were always bullied, Ji Wenxi really couldn't stand it, so he helped that girl, and even waited for that girl as a good friend, not only that, they also lived in the same dormitory.
