Chapter Twenty-Five: Surnamed Xu, You Are Shameless!
"Xiaochen, it's me." Ji Xiaochen always thought that the caller at this time might be Xu Shaobai, and he would argue with himself, what was he unspeakably hidden.
Even if she may not be able to forgive, but now that he doesn't even want to say a word of explanation, Ji Xiaochen is also a little cold.
Born in this era, it may be that this society has created people's character, and there will be many women in the past who have the heart of a sparrow turning into a phoenix, but perhaps there are too many lessons from the past, and women have become realistic.
Marrying into a wealthy family, it may not be as comfortable as it seems.
She didn't want to get involved, but just because of Xu Shaobai's attempt, she was moved...... But it was just a heart, and at the moment her heart had not yet been handed over, and such a thing happened.
Ji Xiaochen was suddenly a little glad that the only trace of sobriety she had left was still wise.
Hearing his cousin's voice, Ji Xiaochen quickly came back to his senses, trying to make his voice not so stiff, "Sister, is there something wrong?" ”
"Were you already dating Xu Shaobai before? Although I didn't mean to ask about your privacy, but now the media reports of major magazines are promoting the news that Xu Dashao is about to get engaged, and you must have read it...... No matter what he thinks, things are already clearly laid out in front of him, Xiaochen, I want you to know that he is not your lover. ”
Ji Xiaoli actually didn't want her cousin to marry into a wealthy family, if it was a simpler wealthy family, it didn't matter, but the Xu family was too complicated, especially the hardships of her stepmother and stepsister that she suffered in her early years, if Xiaochen really married, how could she bear it?
Hearing her husband talk about her cousin and that person who might be dating, Ji Xiaoli felt that it was not appropriate...... Now, all of a sudden, seeing the entertainment information in the media, she wondered if her hunch was too accurate.
"Sister Xiaoli, I know what you mean, don't worry, even if I had any ideas before, I won't have it now or in the future...... My family is ordinary, but I never thought about climbing high branches, not to mention that my parents don't know yet, and I don't plan to let them know. ”
Ji Xiaochen paused, "Actually, this matter will happen sooner or later, the gap between me and him is too big, and it's good to be like this now......"
There will be no intersection, cut off in time from the beginning, the old saying is not all said, long pain is better than short pain, and it is still too late to withdraw.
"Then you really don't want to ask him what he thinks?"
"I don't want to." Ji Xiaochen has never been a person who drags mud and water, and since he has figured out one thing, he will not continue to hesitate.
As for Ji Xiaoli, I don't know if I should be pleased, my little cousin doesn't need to persuade herself at all, she can see it so clearly in a relationship......
Although she didn't want the two to be together, this time she played the role of a lobbyist.
Xu Shaobai got engaged tomorrow, not out of his own volition, but out of helplessness and pressure from his family...... In other words, she must be engaged to this marriage, and Old Man Xu has already let people watch him, and he can't come out at all.
It's just that I don't know what means I used to contact Qin Sanye, because the two are good buddies, Qin Sanye didn't worry too much, so he agreed......
It's not because of anything else, but Qin Sanye understands this kind of thinking best, how can he pull it out of sympathy or something...... When the daughter-in-law married in, she also suffered a lot of grievances and setbacks in the middle, because the old lady was unreasonable several times, and the daughter-in-law was cold and wanted to part with him several times, but he was unwilling.
Now Xu Shaobai doesn't have this kind of thought, but the Xu family is so complicated and chaotic, the daughter-in-law doesn't want the sister-in-law to marry in, and the sister-in-law herself may not be so willing.
Poor Xu Dashao, I don't know when I will be able to come to the end.
That's the process, Qin Sanye took the errand sent by his brother, and then went back and told his daughter-in-law, Ji Xiaoli didn't really want to help Xu Shaobai speak, after all, whether he wanted it or not, the facts were already like this, could it be that they still let their family Xiaochen go to be a 'junior', is there such a thing in the world?
However, the woman is soft-hearted, knowing that some things are impossible, but she still can't bear it......
"Wait until that day when you come with me to the Xu family, your brother-in-law and I have received the invitation from the Xu family, and we are going to the engagement banquet at that time. You can also be regarded as acquaintances, and if you go this time, you will be completely cut off in the future. "That is to say, in fact, he secretly helped Xu Dashao so that the two of them could meet.
Ji Xiaochen was a little puzzled, and he didn't know that the driving force behind this matter was Xu Shaobai, "Sister Xiaoli, I don't really want to go...... It was his wedding to someone else, and it had nothing to do with me. ”
"I know, but if you don't ask, how do you know what he thinks? If he is with you but engaged to another woman, you don't have a heart to respond, and if you ask, it will be considered a settlement. ”
Ji Xiaochen thought about it and felt that this might be the truth, so he agreed.
The end of the month this week is a good day, and the Xu family chose to hold a luxurious engagement banquet today, inviting most of the celebrities in the imperial capital, and everyone who came congratulated Xu and Zhou on their eternal marriage to Qin and Jin.
"The Xu and Zhou families are quite compatible, Xu Dashao has made a lot of achievements in the army at a young age, as for Miss Zhou, she is a well-known celebrity in the imperial capital, and now she manages the family business...... There are no men in the Zhou family, maybe the Zhou family is inherited by Miss Zhou. ”
"Having said that, a woman is a woman after all, and even if Miss Zhou is a strong woman, she is not allowed to listen to men after marriage...... I think that, this Zhou's real estate may be surnamed Xu in a hundred years. ”
"Didn't the Xu family also take a big advantage?"
"The Zhou family is a famous businessman, the Xu family is a red wealthy family, it is not cheap to say that it is cheap, and the Zhou family is also a little high-climbing...... but no matter what, the marriage of these two families is still favored by everyone.
Ji Xiaochen listened to the praise in the crowd, she thought how uncomfortable she would be in her heart, but in fact, as long as she made a decision, there would not be so many waves in her heart.
"Mrs. Qin, ouch, you look so good wearing this 'Blue Star', I have seen all the new models recently launched by your company, except for the price is a little more expensive, everything else is good!"
"Yes, I only bought one necklace last time, and it cost more than three million...... As a result, I'm still a little tight. ”
Ji Xiaoli smiled quietly, "Mrs. Ma, Mrs. Yun, you are all going to cry poor with me, should my jewelry store be closed...... I heard that Mr. Ma made a lot of money by investing in a big order some time ago, and Mr. Yun, I heard that Mr. Yun opened an underground boxing stadium, when did I still want to go and observe! ”
These rich ladies say they have no money, but they are absolutely fake.
They must be calculating the way back when they spend money, and if they don't have money, they will definitely not buy these things...... It's said that it's crying poor, but it's just pretending, be modest, but as a woman, I'm still very willing to listen to others mention how much she has done for her husband, which is indeed very proud and happy.
Hearing this, Mrs. Yun really covered her mouth and smiled, "I can't say anything about observation, if Mrs. Qin wants to go, go at any time, and when the time comes, I will ask someone to get a gold card over, and you can watch it for free at any time when you go in." ”
Sent Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Ma away, and couldn't say that they met three or two more in the middle, Ji Xiaoli casually went down to socialize, without a trace of embarrassment on his face.
From being ignorant and embarrassed at the beginning, to the current noble Mrs. Qin, it didn't take long, just a person in an environment, a big circle, will slowly change himself and make himself more suitable for all this.
Ji Xiaoli has never been a passive person, so if she really wants to learn something, it will definitely not take much effort.
"Cousin, I see that you don't know those people very well, how do you remember what their husbands have done recently, do you have to carry them on your back and use them when you are entertaining?" But if that's it, won't it be too hard?
Ji Xiaoli looked at his little cousin with a surprised face, and couldn't cry or laugh for a while, "At first, I thought it was like this, but you also know that the most important thing in the capital is the daughter of a celebrity, and these women get together all day long to talk about luxury goods and men...... In fact, as long as you talk to them occasionally, you will have a general understanding of the recent events in Beijing. ”
To say bother, it doesn't count at all.
Ji Xiaochen nodded, but she always felt in her heart that although the life of a wealthy family may be beautiful on the surface, not everyone can get by, and if she wants to learn to socialize, it seems to be a big problem for her.
"Mrs. Qin, who is this?" Ji Xiaoli was talking, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Zhang Huiya walking over with her future daughter-in-law Zhou Yaxin holding a goblet.
Ji Xiaoli smiled faintly, "This is my cousin, I happened to be on vacation today, I mentioned it to her, saying that there was a good thing today, and she came with me to touch Miss Zhou's joy." ”
Zhang Huiya nodded, squinted and smiled, "Since you're here, let's have fun, don't be polite." ”
After the two left, Zhang Huiya was still talking to her future daughter-in-law about the scene just now, "Do you have no good feelings for Mrs. Qin?" ”
Zhou Yaxin was noncommittal, "I have heard that this woman is from the grassroots, and I don't know what kind of kung fu she relied on to seduce Qin Sanye...... This kind of door is not right, even if Qin Sanye is still dependent on her now, he may not be able to have a few years! ”
"Anyway, that's what she's capable of! Now that the Qin family is in full swing, and that Mrs. Qin also has a lot of assets in her name, not to mention that her biological mother has some backgrounds, you still don't put such a face on people in the future, otherwise what will this make others think? Our Xu family is not a mean family. ”
Zhou Yaxin blinked, "The face is on me, what kind of expression is it, and it is not something I can control?" ”
"Zhou Yaxin!" Zhang Huiya was furious.
Zhou Yaxin shrugged her shoulders, "Mother-in-law, it's good that I'm your daughter-in-law, but we're also partners." You want Xu Shaowen to inherit the family business, and I want to be Xu Shaobai's wife, these two things do not conflict, so you don't need to care about me? ”
After saying this, Zhou Yaxin left with her skirt...... At this moment, Zhang Huiya seemed to regret a little, she chose such a powerful woman for Xu Shaobai, and she didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.
At the banquet, because Ji Xiaoli wanted to socialize, it was not always convenient to take Ji Xiaochen with him, Ji Xiaochen drank two sips of fruit wine, and then slipped to the small pavilion in the back garden of the master's house to sit, wanting to relieve himself.
Socializing or something, Ji Xiaochen is really annoyed when he thinks about it.
In the pavilion, she lay on the cold stone table, so that the slightly irritable mood was somewhat eased, rubbed her cheeks with her hands, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a magnified handsome face in front of her, and she was so frightened that she almost screamed.
"What are you doing! Did you know that people can be scared to death? And today is your engagement banquet, you are not in front, why did you come here? Ji Xiaochen turned his head angrily.
