Chapter 21

The empty wine glass returned to Ji Rao's hand, Ji Hongzhen was worried that Ji Rao would offend Shang Yanjin by talking again, so he hurriedly pulled her away from Shang Yanjin, and did not forget to lower his voice to Ji Rao when he went to the side, "Although Mr. Shang is young, he is of great generation, and he is the same generation as his father, you can't call him by his name when you see him in the future, you have to call him uncle, you know?"

Ji Rao didn't respond, Ji Hongzhen patted the back of her hand, "Rao, you have always been sensible, why are you so stubborn today, could it be that you and Mr. Shang knew each other before?" ”

Ji Hongzhen keenly sensed that Ji Rao's reaction to Shang Yanjin was not quite right.

"I don't know." Ji Rao immediately denied it, "I have just returned to China not long ago, how can I know Mr. Shang, I just heard others mention it, seeing that he is so young, not like an uncle, it is a little awkward to call uncle."

Ji Hongzhen said: "Then you have to call uncle, Shang is always the old man of Shang, so he is older, don't look at him young, he has several nephews, all of whom are older than you, and Shang is young and promising, in charge of the Shang Group, you can't make a mistake in front of him in the future, you know?" ”

Ji Rao said obediently: "Got it, Dad." ”

Returning to the dessert area with the empty wine glass, Su Yueyan smiled and teased her, "Did the little friend finish toasting his uncle?" ”

When Ji Rao went over to toast Shang Yanjin, Su Yueyan got closer to see the excitement, and heard Shang Yanjin say that she was a child according to Ji Hongzhen.

Ji Rao wondered, "What do you mean by my father, inexplicably let me call Uncle Shang Yanjin, isn't he going to marry a merchant?" ”

Su Yueyan said: "I just inquired for you, your father took Ji Sirou to Shang Yanjin, and he didn't mention the marriage at all, but just introduced Ji Sirou and said that this was his daughter, and then Shang Yanjin said, I have long heard that Ji Dong and Tang always have a daughter, and this sounds like they just mistook Ji Sirou for you, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shang Yanjin is not satisfied with your father bringing an illegitimate daughter to him." ”

Su Yueyan pushed Ji Rao's arm, leaned into Ji Rao's ear, and whispered: "You said that Shang Yanjin didn't give your father Ji Sirou face so much, is it to make you angry, they all say that Shang Yanjin has a good temper, and I have never heard that he let anyone come to the stage in person, with his IQ, it is impossible to unintentionally say this kind of embarrassing thing to your father and Ji Sirou, and others don't know, but I know, you walk around in front of Shang Yanjin every day, how can Shang Yanjin not know that Ji Sirou is your father's illegitimate daughter, he said that, 100% on purpose." ”

It turned out that Shang Yanjin was not polite to her father and Ji Sirou, no wonder Ji Sirou followed her father to greet Shang Yanjin, and when she came over, she was so angry that her nose was almost crooked.

Shang Yanjin doesn't seem to be embarrassed in front of people, she was so demonic in front of him before, he has never been as angry with Ji Sirou as he is, he should be embarrassed by her father and Ji Sirou.

Ji Rao's eyebrows rose at the corners of her eyes, she picked up her mobile phone happily, clicked on Shang Yanjin's WeChat avatar, and edited the message in the chat box: "Shang Yanjin, well done." ”

No, no, she can't take the initiative to send a message to Shang Yanjin, she has been holding back for so many days, she just used Lin Yuan to stimulate him, and it is estimated that he also heard the sentence that Lin Yuan said that he was not familiar with him, and now send him a message, he will definitely take a shelf, and he will inevitably flatter him, and he still can't test whether he has a place in his heart.

She still has to wait for Shang Yanjin to send her a message before she can take the initiative.

The edited message was deleted again, Su Yueyan saw that she was hesitant, and leaned her head over, "If you want to send him a message, just send it, he deliberately mentioned you when your father took Ji Sirou to see him, his attitude is already obvious, he is showing favor to you, people have already given you steps, you just go down the steps, don't really play with it." ”

"What kind of overture is he, have you ever seen a man courting a woman who is having an affair with him and calling the other party a child? He was still waiting for me to call him uncle. Ji Rao was dissatisfied.

Su Yueyan said in all fairness, "It was your father who first said that you were a child." ”

"My dad is my dad, it's normal for him to say I'm a child, but Shang Yanjin is who I am, could it be that he really wants to be my uncle?"

Ji Rao put away her mobile phone, her eyes rolled, and she looked like she was playing a bad idea, "I've been casting this fishing net for so long, and it's time to collect a wave of nets." ”

On the other side, Ji Sirou held back the anger in her belly, lost her temper with Chen Yaru, and wanted to leave early.

Chen Yaru persuaded her, "Today is your aunt's birthday party, and the guests haven't left, how can you, as a niece, leave." ”

"I really can't stand the way those people look at me, Mom, they're all laughing at me." Ji Sirou complained, "What kind of birthday banquet, it's not because the woman outside the eldest uncle came to the door with a big belly, the eldest uncle was afraid that the eldest aunt would make trouble with him, so he held this birthday banquet with great fanfare to make noodles for her and coax her to be happy, what does this have to do with me, the eldest aunt has always looked down on me and doesn't treat me as a niece, why should I stay here to let others point fingers at me for the sake of her face." ”

"That's enough." Chen Yaru lowered her face and lowered her voice to reprimand her, "How many times have I told you, your eldest uncle values face the most, don't mention this matter outside." ”

Ji Sirou was not convinced, "He wants face, so I don't want face?" Just now, Mr. Shang treated me as if my father was born to that woman in front of so many people, and he clearly deliberately embarrassed me. ”

"Alright." Chen Yaru's eyes swept around, afraid that someone would suddenly come over and hear what their mother and daughter said, "Didn't my mother tell you, don't care too much about other people's opinions, those people are jealous that you are better than them, you look at this haute couture dress on your body, millions of them, the necklace you wear around your neck is worth tens of millions, how many of these little girls here today are better than you, if it weren't for me and your father, I wouldn't have been able to earn money for a necklace around your neck in my life, I took you back to Ji's house back then, Your grandma slapped me in public, I didn't say a word and smiled at her, she looked down on me again, and finally let me enter the door of the Ji family, as long as life is good, a few cold words are nothing. ”

Ji Sirou was aggrieved and resentful: "But my mother ......"

"No, but." Chen Yaru interrupted her, "Today is your aunt's birthday party, you have to give me a smile no matter how wronged you are, putting embarrassment on your face in front of outsiders will only make you more embarrassed, if you have any grievances, leave me at home and cry again, cry to your dad, let your dad know how much our mother has suffered in order to stay by his side, he will treat you better, do you hear?" ”

Ji Sirou bit her lip, endured her anger, and took her mobile phone to send a message to Shang Yanqin.

[Today, my aunt's birthday banquet, your uncle is also here. 】

Shang Yanqin was not in Beicheng on a business trip today, so he didn't come.

Shang Yanqin's message quickly replied: [Have you talked to my uncle? 】

Ji Sirou: [My dad took me over to toast him. 】

Shang Yanqin: [Is my uncle very easygoing? 】

Ji Sirou frowned, a trace of depression crossed between her eyebrows, Shang Yanqin is not stupid, the Shang Group that should have been inherited by him, the grandson of the Shang family, is now in the hands of his uncle, how can his uncle be really good to him, how can he not suspect that his uncle has other intentions towards him, and his eyes are full of admiration when he mentions his uncle.

Ji Sirou hinted: [Have you ever thought that your uncle is different from what you imagined. 】

Shang Yanqin: [What's different? 】

Ji Sirou hates that iron does not become steel.

[Is it possible, he didn't treat you as a nephew in his heart, and he made me unable to get off the stage in public today. 】

Ji Sirou told Shang Yanqin what had just happened.

Shang Yanqin: [You think too much, my uncle can't target your junior, and he doesn't know you and your sister, why can't you get off the stage.] 】

Ji Sirou: [I suspect he is because of our relationship. 】

Shang Yanqin: [You mean, my uncle deliberately targeted you because he hated me? 】

Ji Sirou: [This is my guess. 】

Shang Yanqin was silent for a moment, and still said the same sentence: [You think too much, my uncle is busy with work, I haven't seen you and your sister, I just think you are your sister, just say it casually, I don't mean anything else, my uncle is very good to me. 】

Ji Sirou said bluntly: [You usually always say that your uncle is powerful, he is so powerful, how can he speak so impertinently, let me have no face in public, I don't know my face but I don't know my heart, you don't just look at him on the surface and treat you well, if it weren't for your uncle, now you, the eldest grandson, should be the heir of the Shang Group. 】

Shang Yanqin: [Sirou, you don't know much about the situation of our family now, and when we get married in the future, you and my uncle will know that others are really good after getting along for a long time. 】

Seeing that Shang Yanqin did not listen to persuasion, Ji Sirou scolded a swear word fiercely and did not send another message to Shang Yanqin.

*

Shang Yanjin kept talking to people around him all night, Ji Rao had been sitting in the corner of the dessert area with Su Yueyan, occasionally looking up and glancing in the direction of Shang Yanjin, every time he saw different people standing next to him talking, and he was always looking at each other, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, calm and peaceful.

It's really a gentle personality.,Kind to everyone.。

Ji Rao was in a complicated mood, and began to wonder whether Shang Yanjin's gentleness in front of her was because of his own good temper or his indulgence at her.

Did she have a share of his heart?

At the end of the banquet, the guests left the hotel one after another.

Lin Yuan walked over to Ji Rao with a smile on his face, Su Yueyan frowned, "Why did this dog skin plaster come here again, I'll stop him, you go first." ”

Ji Rao held her hand, "Don't worry, since he took the initiative to come up, I just happened to add some bait to my fishing net." ”

"What bait?"

"I'll tell you later, you don't care about me, let's go home first."

Ji Rao got up from her seat, her eyes glanced in the direction of Shang Yanjin, and her eyes happened to collide with him.

Looking at each other, she could only see that the eyes behind his lenses were bottomless, and she couldn't understand the emotions in his eyes.

Ji Rao raised her chin slightly, smiled arrogantly, and quickly withdrew her gaze, as if she was just casually glancing over there.

Lin Yuan walked up to her and said with a smile, "It's not too early, your father asked me to call you over to say hello to my uncle and aunt." ”

He was busy today, and he completely regarded himself as the son-in-law of the Ji family to entertain guests.

Ji Rao smiled and said, "Okay." ”

Lin Yuan was stunned, Ji Rao didn't have a good face for him when they met him today, and suddenly this smile made him a little flattered.

"Then let's go over quickly, it's too late, my uncle and aunt will be leaving."

He tentatively wanted to put his arm on Ji Rao's waist, but Ji Rao noticed it and quietly dodged sideways.

Lin Yuan was accustomed to her detached attitude, and he didn't feel embarrassed, so he withdrew his hand and said, "Let's go." ”

The two walked side by side to the banquet hall next to them, and behind them, Xie Zhisong touched Shang Yanjin's arm.

In the main hall here, Ji Hongzhen and Ji Rao's eldest uncle and aunt were talking to Lin Yuan's parents, and they didn't know what they were talking about, and several people laughed heartily.

"Dad, uncle and aunt, Uncle Lin and Aunt Bai." Ji Rao walked over and greeted them one by one.

Zhao Yanning took Ji Rao's hand and asked, "Do you want to go to your aunt's place for one night today?" ”

Ji Rao smiled and said, "It's too late today, I won't go over to disturb the eldest uncle and aunt, and I'll go over to visit the eldest uncle and aunt another day." ”

"You child, what do you say to the eldest aunt to disturb or not, the eldest aunt wishes you to live with me every day."

Ji Rao lowered her head and smiled reservedly.

Zhao Yanning's gaze turned to Lin Yuan, "Xiao Yuan has worked hard today and helped a lot. ”

Lin Yuan was humble: "It's all what I should do." ”

Zhao Yanning said: "In the future, you will often go to the eldest aunt to sit with Rao Rao." ”

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded, "Definitely." ”

It was as if she and Lin Yuan were already together.

Ji Rao was about to speak, when Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Shang Yanjin and Xie Zhisong coming over, thought about it, and swallowed the words that came to her mouth.

Shang Yanjin and Xie Zhisong came to say goodbye, Ji Rao's eldest uncle and Ji Hongzhen personally sent the two of them outside the gate, and Lin Yuan didn't consciously follow, standing at the door of the banquet hall, and exchanged greetings.

Ji Rao was not interested in listening to what they were saying, so she turned her head and said to Zhao Yanning: "Auntie, if there is nothing to do, I will go back first." ”

Mrs. Lin said: "It's too late, let Xiao Yuan send you, and chat with you on the way to relieve your boredom." ”

Mrs. Lin gave her son a look.

Lin Yuan didn't follow Ji Rao's eldest uncle and Ji Hongzhen as a background board in front of Shang Yanjin, and turned his face to Ji Rao and walked over, "Rao, I'll send you." ”

Afraid that Ji Rao would refuse, he lowered his voice and whispered: "So many people are watching, give face." ”

Ji Rao glanced at Shang Yanjin, didn't say anything, turned around and got into the car.

If you don't refuse, it means that you agree, Lin Yuan got into the car with a smile.

"Rao, how did you change sex today?"

As soon as Lin Yuan got in the car, he leaned towards Ji Rao.

According to Ji Rao's attitude towards him these days, he didn't expect Ji Rao to really agree to let him send her back.

Ji Rao's face turned cold as soon as she arrived at the car, "You sit on the right, don't get too close to me, I get motion sickness, and I don't like others next to me when I sit in the car." ”

said that he asked Lin Yuan to send Ji Rao back, but the car belonged to Ji Rao, and the driver was also asked by Ji Rao to find the personal housekeeper again, so he was not worried that Lin Yuan would take the opportunity to do something to her.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, eldest lady, I'll do whatever you ask me to do, right." ”
