Mrs. Liao's birthday banquet was held at the main residence of the Liao family. As her daughter, Liao Wen was supposed to arrive in advance to chat with Mrs. Liao, but the Liao family sent someone to send a message that she could just arrive at the luncheon.
Liao Wen was stunned for a moment when she received the news, and her expression became much calmer.
We are guests at the luncheon.
But no one felt there was anything wrong with this arrangement. After all, everyone in the circle knew about Liao Wen's situation.
It was past ten o'clock at noon, and Liao Wen came more than an hour early. There were already many guests in the Liao family's hall.
Liao Wen gave the invitation to the doorman like many guests.
Having been the eldest daughter of the Liao family for twenty years, many people in the hall knew Liao Wen.
However, everyone's eyes fell on the two children, one boy and one girl, who were holding Liao Wen's hands.
The little girl was shorter, wearing a red skirt, with a bow tied in her hair, and her round eyes were clear and clean. She subconsciously held Liao Wen's hand tightly when facing the many eyes in the hall.
"Mother…"
The little boy looks much more stable, wearing a small suit and a stern face, pretending to be old-fashioned, but you can still see the exquisiteness between his eyebrows.
The little girl is Liao Wen's daughter Zhou Zhou, and the little boy...
"Is that the Lu family's child?" Someone recognized it.
"Lu family? Why did the Lu family come back to attend the Liao family's birthday party?"
The Lu family belongs to a century-old wealthy family. Before the Liao family fell, they could not match the Lu family. What's more, the Liao family has fallen into decline in the past few years, while the Lu family is still at its peak.
At this time, someone finally understood: "The eldest daughter of the Liao family is married to the Zhou family, right? The Zhou family and the Lu family are cooperating."
Others also suddenly realized: "The Zhou and Lu families have a good relationship. The two children are childhood sweethearts. In the future..."
Liao Yue, who was entertaining guests at this time, noticed when Liao Wen came in and heard this sentence at the same time. She stared at the three people coming in at the door and bit the roots of her back teeth.
Finally, her eyes fell on Lu Zhixi and Zhou Zhou.
She stole the marriage between Liao Wen and the Ji family. Liao Wen married into the Zhou family. The Zhou family was already better than the Ji family. If Liao Wen's daughter lived a better life than her daughter.
So what has she done all these years? Could it be that it has become a joke?
Liao Yue's eyes were dark and gloomy.
"Yue'er." Mrs. Liao on the other side called her daughter.
Liao Yue reacted immediately, put away the emotion on her face, and responded gently: "Mom, sister is here."
"Didn't you ask her to come later?" Mrs. Liao rubbed her forehead impatiently: "Forget it, let someone keep an eye on her. I'll take you to say hello to the ladies over there first."
Mrs. Liao has no intention of calling Liao Wen over. If something happens, where will the Liao family save their face?
Liao Yue lowered her eyes.
There was a big birthday banquet today, and all the guests were from wealthy families in the city. Several of the ladies mentioned by Mrs. Liao were also Mrs. Liao's connections.
The two were loving mothers and filial daughters. Mrs. Liao took Liao Yue to introduce several ladies one by one.
At this time, someone suddenly asked Mrs. Liao... "Madam, are the Zhou family and the Lu family planning to have a baby for marriage? The two children are often kept together."
Perhaps he thought that Mrs. Liao would know something because she was Zhou Zhi's grandmother. After that, the man smiled meaningfully: "Old Mrs. Liao will be lucky in the future."
Mrs. Liao's expression froze and she said something vague: "I've never heard of that."
Mrs. Liao obviously didn't want to talk about Liao Wen and the Zhou family.
However, as the top wealthy family in the city, how could the Zhou family and the Lu family be avoided by Mrs. Liao?
Many people present came here because the Liao family is an in-law of the Zhou family, so naturally they wanted to find out more about the Zhou family.
Mrs. Liao's expression became stiff as she dealt with it, until she couldn't bear it anymore and found an excuse to leave.
After avoiding the crowd, Mrs. Liao's face turned dark.
Liao Yue then tentatively said: "Mom, I see that the Lu family's child has been with Zhou Zong, maybe the Lu family really has that idea..."
"With your sister's situation, how could the Lu family want..." Mrs. Liao frowned and impatiently interrupted Liao Yue's speculation.
Liao Yue also reacted and smiled. In Liao Wen's situation, there are normal people who are willing to marry a lunatic.
However, Liao Yue would not express her pride, and just continued to speak gently: "But these two children are childhood sweethearts, and they have their sights set on the future. Is it possible that the Lu family will fight against each other?"
Mrs. Liao didn't take it seriously and said casually.
"You want Yangyang to have more contact with that kid from the Lu family, right? His name is Lu Zhixi. Our Yangyang is well-behaved and sensible, so he will definitely be more lovable than that girl."
It happened that at this time the servant of the family came over with Ji Yangyang in hand, and when he heard these words, he immediately started to make a fuss.
"I don't want it." Ji Yangyang broke away from the servant and ran over, hugging Mrs. Liao's thigh aggrievedly: "Lu Zhixi is Zhou Zhou's friend, they won't play with me."
Mrs. Liao also frowned, but her own granddaughter could only lower her head and coax her.
Liao Yue's eyes darkened, and she glanced at Ji Yangyang, who was acting coquettishly in Mrs. Liao's arms, a little irritated.
If Ji Yangyang hadn't been hopeless, how could he have been overpowered by Zhou Zhou in this matter?
At the same time, Zhou Zhou was following Liao Wen obediently on the other side of the banquet hall, and Lu Zhixi was also guarding Zhou Zhou.
Because of the Zhou family, even though everyone present knew that Liao Wen was crazy and would fall ill, they still came to say hello.
By the way, I want to talk to Lu Zhixi. There is only one son in the Lu family. In the future, the Lu family will most likely belong to Lu Zhixi.
Liao Wen was also extra sober today and did not make any mistakes in her dealings with others.
Until the shit stirrer appeared.
"Wenwen."
With a gentle call, Liao Wen raised her eyes and looked at Ji Yanzheng, who was standing not far away and looking gently towards this side, with a bit of nostalgia in her eyes.
Liao Wen held Zhou Zhou's hand tightly.
"Mom?" Zhou Zhou raised his eyes in confusion.
"Wenwen...how have you been lately?" Ji Yan had already walked in and asked tentatively, seeming to be concerned.
Liao Wen didn't reply but was full of complicated words, and she couldn't explain her emotions when she saw Ji Yan again.
Zhou Zhou didn't understand the dispute between Ji Yan and Liao Wen, but he was worried because Liao Wen was not feeling well.
The system in my mind promptly displayed popular science [Host, the man in front of me is Ji Yangyang’s father and your mother Liao Wen’s former fiancé, who was later manipulated by Liao Yue.]
"Mom!" Zhou Zhou shouted subconsciously.
Liao Wen also came back to her senses because of this call. She lowered her eyes to hide the complexity in her eyes: "Very good."
"I'm sorry for what happened back then. If you're not having a good time, come to me and I'll help you in any way I can." Ji Yan's eyes were full of guilt and emotions that others couldn't understand.
Liao Wen wanted to laugh but didn't know how to laugh.
"Wenwen, although we are not destined to be husband and wife, we have been childhood sweethearts for more than ten years. Don't be afraid of troublesome me..."
What a loving and gentle person he seems to others.
"Uncle." Zhou Zhou couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted Ji Yan directly: "My mother didn't say that she was not doing well, she was saying that she was doing very well. Did you hear wrongly?
ah."
The little girl raised her head with a bit of confusion in her eyes and a bit of seriousness in her tone.
"My father is very good to my mother. Don't you have a wife? Why do you want to ask my father's wife if she is doing well?"
Ji Yan was choked for a moment, but he couldn't blame Zhou Zhou's clear eyes.
