The wedding of Zhu Zirui and Li Qianwei finally started under the spotlight. Most of the guests were from Shengshi Group, just like an annual party.
Two tables came from Zhu Zirui's hometown, one on his father's side and one on his mother's side. This was the first time in more than thirty years that his father and mother appeared at the same banquet.
The old father is over seventy years old and has a large family of children and grandchildren, including the eldest brother's family and the second brother's family. The eldest grandson is already in junior high school.
The table at the mother's table was not full. The eldest sister was already married and had children, and the whole family was here. The younger sister was not married yet, and the youngest brother was in junior high school and was in the same class as the eldest brother's son.
Although the relationship is complicated and the meeting is rather awkward, everyone is here for the same purpose, so it is quite harmonious.
Li Qianwei's parents were civil servants and knew Zhu Zirui's family situation in advance, but they were interested in Zhu Zirui as a person, not his family. Father Li toasted enthusiastically to Zhu Zirui's brothers and sisters from his hometown, and said
We need to organize a group to take them around the capital.
Zhu Zirui is very grateful to his parents-in-law for their tolerance and open-mindedness.
There was a lively toast over there, and here Jiang Hao and the others also started to entertain themselves, and Chen Jingye became the target of everyone's ridicule.
Ruan Bin: "Jingye, I think you should buy a lottery ticket. You have walked to the edge of the quagmire and are still safe and sound. Don't you think it's your luck?"
Chen Jingye: "I would rather not have this kind of luck. Bin, now that your boy has a beauty in his arms, you will be in trouble, right?"
Ruan Bin smiled, put his arm around Xia Zhi's shoulders, and said, "What's wrong with me? You can also find a fiancée to be happy with."
"??" Chen Jingye was too lazy to tell him that he despised this kind of man who valued sex over friends and quickly changed the subject, "Hey, Xi Bao, why are you just drinking boiled water? Come on, uncle will pour you some."
How about grape juice?”
With that said, Chen Jingye picked up the red wine bottle and started pouring wine into Xi Bao's glass.
Jiang Hao quickly stopped him, "Don't teach my son a bad lesson."
Xi Bao muttered and said: "Uncle, I don't like to drink grape juice. I like to drink orange juice. Plain water is transparent. Orange juice has such an obvious color. How can it be plain water? Uncle, do you have an eye problem?
"
Everyone laughed. Even though Xi Bao was young, he was definitely not that easily deceived.
Xi Bao added: "Uncle, compared to your scruffy beard a few days ago, you are quite handsome today, only a little bit behind my father."
"??" Chen Jingye felt that he should not come.
Jiang Hao kissed his son proudly and said, "You are such a good son of mine. Come and reward you with a prawn."
Xi Bao: "My sister wants it too, my sister wants it too, and my sister wants the biggest one."
The happy look of this family made others envious. Ruan Bin hugged Xia Zhi and whispered in her ear: "Let's have two children in the future."
Sitting at the same table as them, there was another couple with two little daughters, one ten and seven years old. They were also a happy family. As a lonely man, Chen Jingye could not stand the three of them at all.
After eating halfway, he took the wine glass and left, "Oh, I'd better leave, otherwise I will die of internal injuries."
Jiang Hao asked: "Where are you going?"
"Lao Li's place is full of singles, so we can chat together." Chen Jingye waved and left.
Qiao Xinwei looked at it eagerly and reminded, "It just so happens that Xi Xue is also at that table. Xi Xue, do you remember? I think Chen Jingye and Xi Xue can give it a try."
"Of course you remember, I'm not pregnant like you for three years."
"??Can you speak properly?"
Jiang Hao said with a playful smile, "Yes, thank you to my wife for worrying about my brother's marriage."
Qiao Xinwei poked his forehead and said seriously: "Don't look so dead and be serious. I really think they are a good match. We were introduced by Yun Qing before, and Yun Qing definitely doesn't want to see Chen Jingye
In his current state, it would be better for him to find a more reliable partner than anything else."
Jiang Hao nodded in agreement, "Yes, you are right."
"But I just don't know if they will call."
At another table, Chen Jingye asked the waiter to add a seat, and he suddenly came over to sit down. Everyone felt puzzled.
Chen Jingye patted Lao Li on the shoulder and said, "All the people over there are raising families, so I can get along better with you." As he said that, he took out a cigarette and lit one. When he saw the girl beside him,
He blurted out and asked, "Beauty, would you like one?"
Xi Xue only felt that this man was really incompetent. She didn't even look at him and just shook her head.
Chen Jingye crossed his legs and said: "Sitting there is really suffocating me. There are three children, a pregnant woman, and a couple preparing for pregnancy. Not to mention smoking, they don't even drink. Our table is open
Three bottles of orange juice and two bottles of coconut juice are really enough."
Lao Li: "You weren't happy when I called you here just now. I told you that there are only bachelors at our table, and you still insist on sitting there."
Chen Jingye glanced at the girl next to him again, "You didn't say there was such a beautiful girl sitting here. If you have to say it, I will definitely sit here early in the morning. Hey, Shen Yanqing, I saw you in Joy City a few days ago.
You are bringing a girl with you, is she your girlfriend? Are you pretending to be a bachelor?"
The topic changed so quickly.
Shen Yanqing begged for mercy and explained: "Brother Jingye, don't get me wrong. She is my college classmate. She just came to the capital and is not familiar with the place. I took her out for a walk, that's all."
"Ha, so there are plenty of opportunities. We are still classmates. A bouquet of flowers, a box of chocolates, and a candlelight dinner can be done in no time."
As soon as the topic was raised, Shen Yanqing immediately became the target of questioning.
Xi Xue was really fed up. She didn't have any good impressions of Chen Jingye at all. This man had no quality, no courtesy, no matter what he wanted. It was so bad. She hated this kind of person the most.
With a small amount of money, I think I am a big man.
Chen Jingye chatted with everyone. His greatest advantage is probably that he is familiar with himself. Whether he knows him or not, he can get familiar with him in just three sentences. As he chatted, he didn’t pay much attention to his hands, flicking his cigarette,
The cigarette ashes flicked directly onto Xi Xue's skirt.
The soot brought sparks and burned a hole in Xi Xue's skirt. The key thing is that he said it loudly. "Oh, I'm sorry, beauty. I really didn't mean it. I'll pay you for this skirt."
Xi Xue didn't know yet and was stunned for a moment.
"I'm sorry, I ironed a hole in your skirt."
Xi Xue looked down and realized that there was indeed a smoky hole in the thigh part of her skirt. The silk material was easily broken when exposed to sparks. It was the size of two fingers and the position was awkward. Her
