Chapter 62 Are you here for the birthday banquet or for the funeral?
Huo Yanchuan raised his eyebrows, a slight smile flashed in his eyes, and his voice was magnetic and seductive: "Then you have to find a gold cage to lock me up."
Ji Mingwei: "..."
Boss, please wake up, you are comparing yourself to a canary!
She blinked in a pretense of shyness: "How could I be willing to do that to you? If I really like someone, I would not want to imprison him or hurt him in any way."
This was said with pride and meaning.
In fact, I hope that the villain boss can show mercy to me in the future.
But Huo Yanchuan just didn't play by the rules, "But as far as I'm concerned, as long as it's you, you can do anything to me."
Ji Mingwei: "..." Stop being flirtatious and stop it!
She gave up.
Huo Yanchuan seemed to have had enough teasing. He chuckled and touched her head, and said, "Although I can't accompany you to celebrate the old lady's birthday, you can't lack gifts. You can take whatever you want in this house.
"
In this room, every vase, painting, or even hanging decoration is a centuries-old antique, priceless.
Give it away and it will be double the number of noodles.
Ji Mingwei glanced around and walked outside the courtyard. Within half a minute, she brought something in and said casually: "This is it!"
Huo Yanchuan looked stunned, with a rare hesitation in his tone, "Are you sure?"
Ji Mingwei's eyebrows were crooked and she smiled like a cunning little fox, "I am extremely sure."
…
On the day of the birthday banquet.
The Ji family couple came to the old house in advance to entertain the guests who came to celebrate their birthday.
In addition to people from the Ji family's main family and branch families, there were also partners from the Ji family's shopping mall and old friends from the upper class.
At the banquet, the guests exchanged glasses and exchanged glasses with each other, smiling and being polite to each other.
Until a beautiful figure carrying a tall man pushed the door open and entered.
The scene was quiet for a few seconds, and then there was a cry of exclamation——
"It's Ji Qingtian! Oh my god, the red dress is bright and noble, and those expensive jewelry complement each other perfectly! It's so beautiful! Even more beautiful than what I saw on TV!"
"Hiss - isn't the man next to her Huo Beichen? He is a top figure in the entertainment industry! He is actually so close to Miss Ji? I heard that there was an engagement between them earlier!"
"Standing together, they look like a golden couple! As expected of a daughter and a young master, they are a perfect match."
Praises came one after another from all around.
Ji Qingtian always maintained a reserved smile on her face, and brought Huo Beichen to Mrs. Ji. She said obediently: "Grandma, happy birthday."
When Mrs. Ji saw her, her cloudy eyes shone, and she held her hand. She was so excited: "Oh, my dear granddaughter, come and show grandma. The longer she gets, the more iconic she is! You
Are you bringing Xiaochen with you this time to get engaged?"
Ji Qingtian's face heated up, and she seemed a little embarrassed and said, "Grandma, you misunderstood. Beichen came to wish you a birthday on behalf of the Huo family."
The reason why she brought Huo Beichen here today is to let the upper class people see clearly that she has a close relationship with the young master of the Huo family. In the future, even for the sake of the Huo family, they will be more polite to her.
, and even actively seek cooperation with her.
Secondly, it is also necessary to clarify that they are not a couple, lest this group of people have no way of talking about it and spread it to the outside world to let fans and netizens know.
"Yes, grandma." Huo Beichen took out the gift in cooperation and said with a smile: "This is a thousand-year-old ginseng, used to replenish qi and maintain health. I wish you a long life."
"Xiaochen is really thoughtful, hahaha..." Mrs. Ji looked at him with admiration in her eyes, as if she was looking at her default grandson-in-law.
"Grandma, I also prepared one for you." Ji Qingtian also took out and opened a box in time, with a sweet smile: "This is the jade necklace I saw at the auction. I think it is very similar to your temperament.
It matches, so I bought it at a high price. I hope you like it.”
"Oh, this is so beautiful. My dear granddaughter has really good eyesight." Mrs. Ji smiled from ear to ear, praising and praising her, as if she wanted to lift her up to heaven.
The guests also praised one after another, "The things at the auction are definitely not cheap. Miss Ji is really willing to give up to the old lady."
"The relationship between grandfather and grandson is so good!"
"It's true that I have accumulated good deeds in my past life. If my granddaughter is so considerate, I will be satisfied."
Xu Shujing in the crowd rolled her eyes as she listened.
What kind of intention can you buy with money?
Her mother is Mrs. Ji's only daughter, and she is also Mrs. Ji's only granddaughter. But every time, Mrs. Ji only favors Ji Qingtian. She only needs to rely on some sweet words to win the old lady's favor; and as for herself,
, even if every time I come over to massage the old lady’s shoulders, make tea, serve her, and treat her with care, I still can’t get enough of her. I still want her to learn more from Ji Qingtian.
In short, in Mrs. Ji's eyes, everything Ji Qingtian does is good. Yes, she is filial, considerate, smart and capable. She is a good choice in everyone's eyes. I'm afraid even her farts are delicious.
If she is the protagonist, she is destined to be the supporting role!
Just when she was so angry that she suddenly saw a white figure in the corner of the crowd.
Xu Shujing narrowed her eyes slightly and suddenly shouted, "Ah! Isn't this cousin Mingwei? You are here too! Why don't you come forward to wish grandma a birthday?"
After the words fell, the crowd was quiet for a moment, and everyone subconsciously looked in a certain direction.
Then I saw Ji Mingwei wearing a light-colored dress, no makeup, and not even a piece of jewelry on her body. She looked fresh and refined, which was refreshing to the eyes.
"This girl is so clean and beautiful! And she looks a little familiar!"
"It's her, Ji Mingwei, the one the Ji family found from the countryside a year ago."
"But I remember she didn't look like this before. The last time I saw her at a banquet, wasn't she wearing heavy makeup and being extremely vulgar?"
"How beautiful it looks now!"
Ji Mingwei naturally heard everyone's discussion and sneered in her heart.
Why did she become tacky in the past? Wasn't it because the original owner was too naive and believed in the words of "well-intentioned people", thinking that dressing up exquisitely would show off her status and prevent others from underestimating her status as the eldest daughter of the Ji family?
As a result, instead of getting people to look up to her, she made a lot of jokes.
"I also want to celebrate grandma, but seeing that your family is communicating with each other, wouldn't it be difficult to interrupt?" Ji Mingwei walked slowly and slowly to the old lady in the center of the crowd, "Grandma, happy birthday.
"
"Hmph." Mrs. Ji didn't appreciate it. Instead, she snorted in disgust, "How come you're here to celebrate my birthday? You don't wear makeup or dress up, you don't have any dignity at all, and you're dressed in all white. I don't know. I thought you were...
