Chapter Twenty-Six: The Maniac
Mrs. Liao's birthday banquet was held in the main house of the Liao family, and Liao Wen, as a daughter, should have arrived in advance to chat with Mrs. Liao, but the Liao family sent someone to spread the word that it was okay to be present at luncheon.
Liao Wen was stunned for a moment when she received the news, and the expression on her face was much calmer.
The luncheon was a guest.
But no one felt that there was anything wrong with this arrangement, after all, Liao Wen's situation was known in the circle.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Liao Wen still came more than an hour in advance, and there were already many guests in the hall of the Liao family.
Liao Wen, like many guests, gave the invitation to the doorman.
has been the eldest lady of the Liao family for 20 years, and many people in the hall know Liao Wen.
However, everyone's eyes fell on the two children held by Liao Wen, a man and a woman.
The little girl was a little shorter, wearing a small red dress, with a bow on her bud head, her round eyes were clear and clean, and she subconsciously clenched Liao Wen's hand when she faced the many eyes in the hall.
"Mom..."
The little boy looks much more stable, in a small suit, with a straight face and pretending to be old-fashioned, but he can still see the delicacy between his eyebrows.
The little girl is Liao Wen's daughter Zhou Congee, the little boy...
"That's the Lu family's child, right?" Someone recognized.
"The Lu family? Why did the Lu family come back to participate in the Liao family's birthday banquet? β
The Lu family belongs to a century-old wealthy family, and the Liao family can't reach the Lu family before it falls, not to mention that the Liao family has gone down in recent years, and the Lu family is still in full swing.
At this time, someone finally understood: "The eldest daughter of the Liao family married the Zhou family, right?" The Zhou family and the Lu family have cooperation. β
Others also suddenly realized: "Zhou and Lu have a good relationship, and the two children are childhood sweethearts, in the future..."
At this time, Liao Yue, who was entertaining guests, noticed it when Liao Wen came in, and at the same time heard this sentence, she stared at the three people who came in at the door and crushed the root of her back teeth.
In the end, her eyes fell on Lu Zhixi and Zhou Congee.
She robbed Liao Wen of the marriage with the Ji family, Liao Wen married the Zhou family, the Zhou family is already stronger than the Ji family, if Liao Wen's daughter is better off than her girl.
So what has she done all these years, isn't it a joke?
Liao Yue's eyes were dim, and the gloom was surging.
"Yue'er." On the other side, Mrs. Liao called out to her daughter.
Liao Yue reacted immediately, put away the emotions on her face, and responded gently: "Mom, my sister is here." β
"Didn't you tell her to come later?" Old Madam Liao rubbed her forehead and was a little impatient: "Forget it, let people look at her, I'll take you to say hello to a few ladies over there first." β
Old Madam Liao didn't plan to call Liao Wen over, if something happened, where would the Liao family put their face?
Liao Yue's eyes drooped.
Today's birthday banquet is very big, and all the rich and noble families in the city are here, and several ladies in Mrs. Liao's mouth are also Mrs. Liao's network.
The two mothers were filial to their daughters, and Mrs. Liao took Liao Yue to introduce several ladies one by one.
At this time, someone suddenly asked Mrs. Liao..."Old lady, do the Zhou family and the Lu family plan to marry the baby, and the two children are often put together." β
Maybe he thought that Mrs. Liao was Zhou Congee's grandmother and could know something, but the man smiled meaningfully: "The old lady will be blessed in the future,"
Old Madam Liao's expression froze, and she slurred two words: "I haven't heard of that." β
Old Madam Liao obviously didn't want to talk about Liao Wen and the Zhou family.
However, where is the Zhou family and the Lu family, as the top wealthy family in the city, that Mrs. Liao can avoid talking about?
Many people present came here because the Liao family was the in-laws of the Zhou family, so they naturally wanted to find out some news about the Zhou family.
Old Madam Liao's expression froze when she coped, until she couldn't stand it anymore and found an excuse to leave.
After dodging the crowd, Mrs. Liao's face darkened directly.
Only then did Liao Yue tentatively speak: "Mom, I see that the child of the Lu family has been with Zhou Congee all the time, don't you have the Lu family..."
"Your sister's situation, how could the Lu family want..."Old Madam Liao frowned, and interrupted Liao Yue's speculation impatiently.
Liao Yue also reacted and smiled, Liao Wen's situation, there are normal people who are willing to marry a madman.
However, Liao Yue didn't express her pride, but continued to speak gently: "But those two children are childhood sweethearts, and they will see them in the future, is it possible that the Lu family will beat the mandarin ducks?" β
Old Madam Liao didn't take it seriously and said casually.
"You let Yangyang get in touch with the child of the Lu family more, is it called Lu Zhixi? Our family is well-behaved and sensible, and it must be more pleasing than that girl. β
It just so happened that at this time, the maid at home led Ji Yangyang over, and when he heard this, he instantly made a fuss.
"I don't want it." Ji Yangyang broke free from the maid and trotted over, hugging Mrs. Liao's thigh aggrievedly: "Lu Zhixi is a friend of Zhou Congee, so they won't play with me." β
Old Madam Liao also frowned, but her own granddaughter could only bow her head and coax.
Liao Yue's eyes darkened, and she looked at Ji Yangyang, who was coquettish in Mrs. Liao's arms, and was a little irritable.
If it weren't for Ji Yangyang's lack of interest, how could he be crushed by Zhou Congee in this matter?
At the same time, on the other side of the banquet hall, Zhou Congee was obediently following Liao Wen, and Lu Zhixi was also guarding Zhou Congee.
Because of the Zhou family, even if everyone present knew that Liao Wen was crazy and would get sick, they would still come to say hello.
By the way, I would like to talk to Lu Zhixi, the Lu family is such an only son, and the Lu family will be Lu Zhixi's in the future.
Liao Wen is also very sober today, and she has made no mistakes in dealing with people.
Until the appearance of the-stirring stick.
"Wenwen."
With a gentle call, Liao Wen raised her eyes and looked at Ji Yanzheng standing not far away, looking at this side gently, with a little nostalgia in her eyes.
Liao Wen's hand holding Zhou Congee tightened violently.
"Mom?" Zhou Congee raised his eyes puzzled.
"Wenwen... How have you been doing? Ji Yan had already walked in, asking tentatively, as if he was concerned.
Liao Wen didn't reply with complicated words, and she couldn't tell her emotions clearly when she saw Ji Yan again.
Zhou Congee didn't understand the dispute between Ji Yan and Liao Wen, but Liao Wen was a little worried that her mood was wrong.
The system in my brain appeared in time to popularize science [Host, this person in front of me is Ji Yangyang's father, and also your mother Liao Wen's former fiancΓ©, who was later pried into the corner by Liao Yue. γ
"Mom!" Zhou Congee subconsciously shouted.
Liao Wen also came back to her senses because of this call, and she lowered her eyes to hide the complexity in her eyes: "It's good." β
"The thing that happened back then was that I was sorry for you, if you were not doing well, come to me, I will definitely help you if I can." Ji Yan's eyes were full of guilt and feelings that others couldn't understand.
Liao Wen wanted to laugh but didn't know how.
"Wenwen, although we have no fate to become husband and wife, but we have been childhood sweethearts for more than ten years, don't be afraid to trouble me..."
What an affectionate and gentle person to others.
"Little uncle." Zhou Congee couldn't hold back any longer, and directly interrupted Ji Yan's words: "My mother didn't say that she was doing well, she said that she was doing well, did you hear it wrong." β
The little girl tilted her head with a little puzzled eyes, and her tone was a little serious.
"My dad is very good to my mom, don't you have a wife? Why do you want to ask my dad if his wife is doing? β
Ji Yan was choked for a while, but he couldn't blame last week's porridge's clear eyes.
