Chapter 147: The Engagement Banquet

After finishing answering, Xu Xiangsi found that Leng Mo's eyes staring at her were even more uncomfortable.

At this time, the text message ringtone of the mobile phone rang, Xu Xiangsi opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning.

This is a message from Xu Anran - "Sister, I'm with Wei Yang, when will you come back?" We hope you will come to our engagement reception. ”

Xu Xiangsi was a little depressed, this girl really knew how to "cut first and then play", she didn't explain how they got together, and directly notified a result, so she was also her sister, but she was completely treated as an outsider.

"Whose message?" Leng Mo asked.

Xu Xiangsi subconsciously replied, "Xu Anran, said let me go back to her engagement banquet." ”

"What are you going to do?" Leng Mo asked quietly.

Xu Xiangsi shook his head, "I don't want to go, it's too embarrassing for two people to meet, and I don't want to get involved in any incidents in the Ji family." ”

"No, you have to attend this banquet."

After listening to her, Leng Mo decided in a word: "If you don't go, the outside world will speculate about your relationship with Ji Weiyang, you are Xu Anran's sister, although the media doesn't know it now, but when it is dug up in the future, it will be even more critical to find that you, who are your sister, did not even participate in your sister's engagement banquet." ”

Xu Xiangsi thought thoughtfully, and nodded slowly, "That's right." ”

Sure enough, Leng Mo is always more thoughtful than her.

Xu Xiangsi generously replied to his sister with a message - "If you can come back in time, you will definitely participate." ”

At that time, in the Ji family's mansion, Xu Anran was sitting in front of the makeup mirror and slowly applying lipstick.

It's been a mess, and after so many days, things have been settled.

Ji Weiyang really didn't say it for fun, although the Ji family had different views on Xu Anran, but the Ji family's parents still planned to let their son really take on this responsibility.

Anyway, instead of letting his son indulge in Xu Xiangsi, who has a child, it is better to choose Xu Anran, at least her sister is innocent and has not been involved with other men, and more importantly, she has no other person behind her who can support her, which is more conducive to control.

Especially Xu Xiangsi also committed suicide, if she is not easy to soothe her, it will be difficult for this woman to poke out and affect Ji Weiyang's reputation.

Although Ji's mother was 10,000 dissatisfied, she still had to agree to their engagement.

Now, Xu Anran is half the hostess of the Ji family, and her mood at the moment can be imagined, so she specially sent a message to Xu Xiangsi.

Seeing Xu Xiangsi's response, Xu Anran couldn't help but twist his eyebrows.

At this time, Ji Weiyang came into the room and glanced at Xu Anran, "Are you ready?" ”

Xu Anran hurriedly got up and smiled: "Okay." ”

Her appearance after makeup was more similar to Xu Xiangsi's face, and Ji Weiyang couldn't help but be stunned when she looked at it.

"Viyan, I just invited my sister to our engagement, you can see her reply." Xu Anran picked up the phone and handed it to Ji Weiyang.

The message on the text message jumped into view, and Ji Weiyang looked at the reply and was speechless for a long time.

Xu Xiangsi ...... There was no trace of anger or dissatisfaction, and he replied directly!

Seeing the man's face become ugly, Xu Anran didn't know whether he was distressed or proud.

That's right, she did it on purpose, deliberately let Ji Weiyang see Xu Xiangsi's heartless reply, so that he could understand that her sister was not rare at all!

How long has it been since she sent it? Xu Xiangsi didn't even have a single superfluous question, and it didn't take long to respond to such a message, obviously not caring about the Ji family's affairs.

"It's so good, I thought my sister would mind, but I didn't expect her to promise to come." Xu Anran put away his mobile phone, lifted his skirt and put it on the man's arm with great interest, "Are you also happy?" ”

Ji Weiyang frowned slightly and did not respond immediately.

Xu Anran pouted slightly, "Wei Yang, don't you blame me for being troubled and sending a message to my sister in advance, right?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ No. Ji Weiyang put away his lost look, took the girl downstairs, and went to attend the Ji family's family banquet.

Now, can he turn back?

Two days later, in a hotel in the bustling city center of Ben Thanh -

At the beginning of the lanterns, the lights were staggered, and people from all walks of life arrived at the banquet hosted by the new mayor one after another.

Everyone knows that today is Ji Weiyang's engagement banquet with a woman named "Xu Anran", and this time, the media finally no longer have to speculate about who the future mayor's wife is.

It's just that everyone also found that the woman standing next to Mayor Ji is no longer the girl she used to return to China last time, although the eyebrows between the two are somewhat similar, but they are only similar.

There are many rights and wrongs in the nobility circle, and everyone knows that since people want to change their fiancΓ©es, they are also happy to cheer.

In the hall, Xu Xiangsi was wearing a delicate long dress, holding Leng Mo's arm and moving forward slowly, because she hadn't worn high heels for a long time, she was really a little unstable, if it weren't for the man next to her, she would probably break her feet.

"Are we going to be late?" She asked the man next to her as she cautiously walked forward.

Leng Momu didn't squint, "What if you're late?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You're a dignified and cold president, of course others don't dare to say anything to you, but people may attack me. Xu Xiangsi muttered softly.

Leng Mo turned his head to look at her, "No one dares to attack my wife." ”

Xu Xiangsi paused, "Who is your Mrs. Leng......"

The two of them didn't notice that as soon as they entered the venue, they had become the focus of many people, and it was not uncommon for talented women to be in the forest, but like Leng Mo, no matter where they went, people couldn't help but shift their eyes to him, even if the protagonist of today's banquet was not him.

"What's going on, isn't that Miss Xu Mayor Ji's fiancΓ©e?" In the crowd, some whispers began to permeate.

"You're talking about the one next to Mr. Leng, right? She has a child, how could the Ji family accept her? ”

Someone answered disapprovingly: "What's wrong with having a child, she is also walking by Mr. Leng's side now when she has a child, she must have a great background." ”

"Did you notice that these two women look quite similar?"

These discussions and speculations were not only discussed privately by everyone, but also captured by the reporters present, and it seems that there is a lot of news to write about today, not just this engagement banquet.

Seeing the girl shuttling in the crowd, Ji Weiyang's eyes stopped at her, and murmured: "Sisi......"

Xu Anran, who was beside him, trembled slightly with his fingertips holding the red wine, and reminded softly with a stiff face: "Wei Yang, Xu Xiangsi is here with Mr. Leng." ”

Ji Weiyang was stunned as if he had just woken up from a dream, a bitter smile crossed his face at the corner of his mouth, and then pretended to be indifferent, showing a decent smile and stepping forward.

"Mr. Leng, welcome."

No matter what their relationship is in private, the two always have to make enough face in the outside world, and of course Leng Mo responded calmly: "Mayor Ji, happy engagement." ”

As he spoke, the two clinked glasses slightly and took a sip.

Seeing this, Xu Xiangsi also raised his glass: "Mayor Ji, Miss Xu, I wish you a hundred years of good harmony and eternal marriage." ”

Xu Anran stared at her, his gaze was not so friendly.

She actually came, and looking at Xu Xiangsi's posture, she didn't feel lost and frustrated at all, shouldn't she deliberately come over to stimulate Ji Weiyang?

Although the thoughts in his heart were gloomy, Xu Anran still politely raised his glass to thank him, "It's really surprising that my sister can come over." ”

Xu Xiangsi looked at her lightly, "Surprised?" ”

"Hmm...... A little. Xu Anran said, looking at Ji Weiyang innocently, his eyes were weak and pitiful, as if he had been bullied.

Xu Xiangsi was speechless, she didn't say anything, did she need to look like she was embarrassed?

However, Ji Weiyang's mind was not on the woman next to him at all, his eyes kept following Xu Xiangsi, and he didn't even notice Xu Anran's "distress" gaze.

"Miss Xu, thank you for coming to my engagement banquet." Ji Weiyang's voice was a little lonely.

Leng Mo's eyes sank, and before Xu Xiangsi answered, he had already answered for her: "Yes, Mrs. has always taken good care of her sister, and of course she can't miss the major events in her life." ”

The crowd suddenly became noisy, and the camera in the reporter's hand also "clicked" more frequently because of Leng Mo's words.

Xu Xiangsi was also stunned, what is "madam"? Whose "lady"?

Ji Weiyang's face also changed a little, and he looked at Leng Mo and asked, "Miss Xu is Mr. Leng's wife?" How did I not know? When was this ordered? ”

Leng Mo raised his chin slightly, and his eyes revealed a trace of arrogance.

"Of course, the family affairs of the Leng family don't need outsiders to ask, but since Mayor Ji cares, I can reveal that Sisi and I will hold a wedding soon, and at that time, Mayor Ji might as well appreciate his face."

As he spoke, he paused again, his eyes revealing a hint of sarcasm, "When the time comes, Mayor Ji will call me brother-in-law." ”

That complacent posture and the eyebrows and eyes that won the victory all made Ji Weiyang feel angry from the bottom of his heart.

Sisi obviously heard it, why did she suddenly become this man?!

As soon as Leng Mo's words were finished, some of the reporters couldn't hold it back, and stepped forward to ask: "May I ask Mr. Leng, is the Miss 'Sisi' in your mouth the one next to you?" ”

"Of course." Leng Mo's gaze swept lightly and turned back to Xu Xiangsi's cheeks.

Xu Xiangsi was a little sluggish, but she didn't expect Leng Mo to suddenly make this decision in front of the public, when she was unprepared, and she hadn't discussed it with her beforehand!

She wanted to open her mouth to refute, but reason didn't make her impulsive, and looking at Xu Anran's face again, it was also not much better.
