Chapter 244: What a Complicated Relationship!
The next day, in the Grand Ballroom of the Royal Landing Building, an orchestra played music gently on the stage and floated through every corner of the hall.
This is a banquet initiated by Zhang Xianglong, the mayor of City B, to entertain the wealthy families in City B. At the same time, he held face-to-face friendly discussions for the good development of City B in the new year, and expressed his gratitude to the enterprises and wealthy families that have made outstanding contributions to the development of the city in the past year.
If the previous large and small banquets were only banquets organized by the wealthy families themselves, then today's banquet is an unprecedented grand banquet in City B every year.
In addition to the leaders of the contemporary wealthy families, as well as their younger generation of young people were also invited.
In addition to Zhang Xianglong's own considerations, this decision also has the insistence that he did not twist his wife He Hongsleeve. He Hongsleeve told him like this: "My son doesn't have much rejection of appearing in public now, and I hope he can see other girls of the same age more." Let him transfer his love and attention to Qin Meiyu to other girls as soon as possible. I don't believe that there are so many wealthy daughters, he only feels the plum rain. ”
Zhang Xianglong is very helpless about his wife's insistence, if he likes a person, where can he change it, and he can change it? It's like he gave her three years before she came out of her past relationship and truly accepted him.
He is a serious and rigid and feared mayor in the political arena, but he is always helpless in front of his wife. No matter what he does, he can't resist his wife's stubbornness. knew that she was also thinking about her son, so he agreed.
Therefore, over the years, the banquets that have always invited the heads of important wealthy families have more than doubled, just to let Zhang Li walk out and see more of the daughters of other wealthy families!
When Zhang Lixing appeared in the public eye in a dress and gentle, all the wealthy families gathered around to ask for warmth and flattery.
Zhang Lixing, who had long anticipated what kind of situation it would be, smiled politely and greeted these elders politely.
It's just a serious meeting, and the parents of many wealthy families are very satisfied with Zhang Lixing. Compared with his father, Zhang Lixing's gentleness, elegance and politeness give people a feeling like a spring breeze, but it is much more comfortable than his father's seriousness and rigidity.
I have always known that Mayor Zhang has a son, but he has never appeared in public, it is said that he has been studying abroad, and when he came back to see him this time, many people liked Zhang Lixing very much. A family with a daughter at home secretly calls and sends messages to their daughter.
And those who have children studying in aristocratic universities are much calmer, after all, they have heard their children talk about school. The old mayor did that at the aristocratic university, but it clearly reminded people that his grandson was not easy to bully.
Thinking about the old mayor's education of Zhang Lixing, it is the same as the old mayor's personality, he definitely doesn't suffer any losses, he is domineering, dictatorial and strong.
Although Zhang Lixing looks gentle and elegant on the surface, behind his politeness is to reject people thousands of miles away. As long as people who understand the real situation are more delicate, it is not difficult to see.
And these people, in addition to polite greetings, they did not blindly come forward to curry favor and flattery. If you accidentally shoot on the donkey's hooves, it's a good thing. It's better to keep a wait-and-see attitude, not too intimate and not too distant.
The reason why Zhang Lixing attended today's banquet and appeared in front of everyone was because he heard his parents say that he had also invited the Qin family to attend the banquet today. Since the Qin family is here, then Qin Meiyu will definitely come. He wanted to see her! Even his own cousin, he wants to see her!
While dealing with the greetings of the people around him, he looked at the door of the banquet hall from time to time, and always paid attention to the people who appeared at the door. However, time and time again, none of the people who came were from the Qin family, let alone Qin Meiyu.
People who are not familiar with Zhang Lixing naturally don't know what this is all about, but knowing his son Mo Ruo's mother, He Hongsleeve looked at his son's expression and understood that he was looking forward to Qin Meiyu's appearance.
He Hongsleeve quietly approached Zhang Xianglong, raised his hand to put his arm around her husband, and whispered in his ear: "Look at what your son is doing?" ”
Zhang Xianglong looked at Zhang Lixing as he said, turned his gaze back, and said to his wife with a calm face: "Do you think this banquet will help him?" I see that he only wants to see Qin Meiyu, and he hasn't paid attention to anything else. Look at the few girls around him, you have to have a good look, a good figure, not to mention your family background, but where do you see him looking at others? ”
He Hong's sleeves sighed: "Take your time!" At the beginning, when I learned that Qin Meiyu was Lu Xiang's daughter, and our son was very unusual to her, I tried to stop the normal interaction between him and Qin Meiyu. However, it had no effect.
Since he can't let it go, let him die slowly. Blood-wise, the two of them can't be. Moreover, I don't think Qin Meiyu seems to like our son. It's much easier than the two of them falling in love with each other and we're breaking it up. ”
Zhang Xianglong nodded in agreement with his wife's statement, and when the two were about to say something else, someone came over to them, and the two stopped talking and threw themselves into the banquet.
When Qin Meiyu followed her family to the emperor's gate, she happened to meet Zheng Linxia's family.
Lin Youya saw that Qin Meiyu was kissing something, but she just said hello to He Xiangxiang and grabbed Qin Meiyu's arm, like a good sister.
He Xiangxiang looked at Lin Youya with a smile, and shook her head helplessly: "Youya, you are going to rob me of the rhythm of your daughter!" ”
Lin Youya smiled and nodded generously: "If you hadn't moved suddenly, Meiyu would have been my goddaughter a long time ago!" ”
He Suixiang was helpless directly: "I said, you can't forget this, can you?" There's always something to talk about! ”
Lin Youya looked at He Suixiang with extreme dissatisfaction: "Alas? We have a good relationship, but we have something to say. Tell me, if you hadn't moved suddenly, and Qin Gongchuan hid Xiao Meiyu from showing up, wouldn't she have become my goddaughter a long time ago? ”
Qin Meiyu will not only become her goddaughter, but may even become her daughter-in-law a long time ago! It's all their fault!
Lin Youya was dissatisfied with Qin Gongchuan and the two of them, and she had to complain in front of the parties from time to time. He Xiangxiang has long been familiar with these, and she has long stopped taking her complaints seriously.
She smiled and pulled Lin Youya's arm: "Let's talk about ours, let their young people chat by themselves." ”
As He Xiangxiang spoke, she glanced at Lin Youya and glanced at Zheng Linxia.
Who is Lin Youya? With just one glance, she immediately understood what He Xiangxiang meant, happily spread Qin Meiyu's arm, and pushed her to Zheng Linxia: "You are responsible for taking care of Meiyu for me, if you don't take care of it, you are the only one who asks!" ”
Zheng Linxia glanced at her mother very speechlessly, does she need to say this? Could he still not be able to take care of Qin Meiyu?
It's just that being so blatantly ridiculed by his own mother, Zheng Linxia's face was a little unbearable. This is not just their own family, Qin Meiyu's parents and brother are watching and listening from the side, where can he put his face?
Qin Meiyu didn't feel anything, she generously took Zheng Linxia's arm, smiled at Lin Youya and said, "Aunt Lin, don't worry, I will take care of him!" ”
In a word, it made everyone laugh.
Zheng Lin took Qin Meiyu with him in a grand manner, followed by the four elders, and followed by a particularly depressed Qin Shumo, and a group of five people appeared at the door of the big banquet hall together.
The appearance of their two families together once again caused a sensation among those wealthy families. I have long heard that the Qin family has plans to marry the Zheng family, but now it seems that it is really like that. It all came together! The most important thing is that Qin Meiyu, the daughter of the Qin family, is holding the Zheng family's son Zheng Linxia. It's so obvious that they can't see what's going on, it's really in vain.
The moment Zhang Lixing saw Qin Meiyu appear, the joy in his heart almost didn't explode. But when she saw Zheng Linxia beside her, she didn't have time to explode the joy, so she stopped there alive.
He still involuntarily greeted the group of seven of them, and greeted Qin Gongchuan and He Suixiang respectfully: "Uncle, aunt, you are here!" He turned around and said hello to Zheng Linxia's parents, "Uncle and aunt, happy new year." ”
Qin Gongchuan and his wife actually like Zhang Lixing quite a lot, he doesn't have a strong personality like his parents, but he is gentle and elegant, which makes people feel comfortable. The two of them naturally nodded with a smile on their faces, and at this time, Zhang Xianglong and He Hongsleeve also greeted them and greeted them with a smile.
When Mr. and Mrs. He Hongsleeve and Mr. and Mrs. He Xiangxiang stood together talking and laughing, the others in the hall were shocked again.
Among these people, there are some people who know a lot about the things between the He family sisters back then, and they can't imagine that the two sisters, who have almost never appeared together on the same social occasion for more than 20 years, are actually together today!
The shock brought to them by this incident was definitely more than the shock from the marriage of the Qin and Zheng families. After all, the marriage between the Qin and Zheng families had signs a long time ago, but the two sisters of the He family reconciled so suddenly without any warning?
Look at the few people standing together, talking and laughing.
He Xiangxiang is Zhang Xianglong's former fiancée, and Zhang Xianglong is her former fiancé!
And He Hongsleeve is Zhang Xianglong's current wife, and he is also two sisters with He Xiangxiang, who was once Zhang Xianglong's fiancée.
In other words, for He Suixiang, her former fiancé became her brother-in-law!
Qin Gong is passed on, it is He Xiangxiang who turns against the He family and his sister He Hongsleeve, and wants to love the man who goes to defect!
It's a relationship...... How complicated does that have to be?! With such a complicated relationship, how could two people who had never seen each other reconcile so quietly?
Some people looked at the other people around them in puzzlement, and how many people who knew something inside said: "A few years ago, it seems that He Xiangxiang's family went to He's house, and some people saw them go over during the New Year." It seems that more than 20 years have passed, and all grievances have been put down. ”
This person's words have been approved by others, what grievances can't be let go after more than 20 years?
Qin Meiyu, who was talking to Zhang Lixing, Zheng Linxia, and Qin Shumo, happened to face the door of the hall. She inadvertently raised her eyes, Liang Jihong was wearing a red and glamorous dress, gently holding Jiang Wenhao's arm, smiling gently, walking swayingly, and suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
