This made Ji Hongyu feel extremely depressed, and his hatred for Lu Yu increased even more.
But he wasn't in a hurry, this was just the beginning, not even an appetizer.
Today's birthday party for Mrs. Ji will definitely make Lu Yu's family embarrassed!
"Ningxue, let's go in too. I've prepared big gifts for you and Lu Yu today." Ji Yourong also sneered and walked towards the yard.
The Ji family members, Tang Qiuyun, Ji Yushu and others also walked into the courtyard.
Ji Ningxue and Lu Yu looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
"Let's go! Let's see what gift Ji Yourong has prepared for us."
"Just in time, I also prepared a big gift for them. Let's see whose gift is bigger."
Lu Yu smiled playfully and reached out to hold Ji Ningxue's hand.
Everyone walked into the courtyard and came to say hello to Mrs. Ji. Mrs. Ji was the birthday girl today, so this courtesy was indispensable.
Many members of the Ji family were a little surprised when they saw Ji Ningxue and Lu Yu walking in hand in hand.
Has the relationship between Lu Yu and Ji Ningxue become so good now?
At the Ji family's family dinner, when the Lu family in Mincheng sent them the bride price, they saw it with their own eyes.
Many people thought that Ji Ningxue might have just declined on purpose at the time, but actually would have contacted the Lu family afterwards, right?
After all, the Lu family in Mincheng is so noble that there are probably not many girls who can refuse the opportunity to step into a wealthy family and become a young mistress.
However, Ji Ningxue's performance really slapped them all in the face.
Not only did Ji Ningxue not abandon Lu Yu and go to the Lu family, her relationship with Lu Yu deepened!
Is this good-for-nothing Lu Yu, in Ji Ningxue's eyes, more important than the Lu family in Mincheng?
"snort!"
Seeing Lu Yu and Ji Ningxue walking over, Mrs. Ji's smile instantly faded and she couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
Her current impression of Lu Yu was simply extremely bad.
If it weren't for Lu Yu's obstacle, Ji Ningxue would have married the eldest son of the Lu family in Mincheng on the day of the family banquet.
If the Ji family were to become as big as the Lu family in Min City, they would be able to live in even the top villas of the ninth level, not to mention the first-floor villas in Yunlan Villa.
Then Mrs. Ji has fulfilled Mr. Ji's last wish, and will have the face to face Mr. Ji when she gets down there in the future.
However, all this was in vain because of Lu Yu!
"All the children of the Lu family, please send your blessings to our birthday boy today!" A man who looked like a housekeeper stood next to Mrs. Ji and shouted.
This is not Mrs. Ji's first birthday party, and everyone has long been accustomed to this process.
As one of the four major families in Jiangnan, the Jiangnan Ji family is quite famous in Jiangnan City.
On the day of Mrs. Ji's birthday banquet, there will definitely be many group companies in Jiangnan City and various big and small forces coming to congratulate her.
However, those people will come back after nine o'clock, which also gives the host some time to prepare.
During this period, everyone in the Ji family first sent their blessings to Mrs. Ji.
After the butler finished speaking, everyone in the Ji family stepped forward according to their seniority.
Soon, it was Lu Yu and Ji Ningxue's turn.
"Grandma, I wish you happiness like the East Sea and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains!" Ji Ningxue led Lu Yu and bowed to Mrs. Ji to congratulate her.
As he spoke, he placed the gifts he had prepared in his hands on the gift table.
"Yes." Mrs. Ji responded lightly, waving her hands slightly, looking a little impatient.
"Lu Yu, where's the gift you bought for grandma? You drive a Rolls-Royce Phantom and look like a rich man, but you come to celebrate grandma's birthday with two fists in your hand?"
"What's going on? Are you trying to hit someone with two fists?" Ji Hongyu shouted with a sneer.
Everyone's eyes turned towards Lu Yu.
"Lu Yu and I are husband and wife, so the share I get is naturally the result of our mutual wishes." Ji Ningxue said neither humble nor overbearing.
Ji Yourong smiled and took over the conversation and said, "I don't think so. After all, I am still my father's daughter. Does it mean that my father gave grandma a gift, so I don't have to give it to me?"
"I have been living and dining at Ji's house for three years, and I was not willing to spend a penny on my grandma's birthday party. Really, I'm even worse than a white-eyed wolf." Ji Yourong curled his mouth and sounded extremely unhappy.
"My gift hasn't arrived yet." Lu Yu said calmly without changing his expression.
"Hey, what a big gift are you preparing? Do you still have to carry it?" Ji Hongyu sneered.
Lu Yu looked a little playful and said lightly: "I don't know if it's big or not, but you definitely can't catch it."
"Lu Yu, you!" Ji Hongyu gritted his teeth and stepped forward after hearing this.
"Stop talking, go down!" Old Mrs. Ji frowned and waved her hands, saying without even looking at Lu Yu.
She really doesn't care about Lu Yu's congratulatory gift.
Lu Yu said no more and immediately walked away. Ji Ningxue also followed Lu Yu's footsteps.
Everyone in the Ji family came forward one by one to give congratulatory gifts to the old lady.
These things are just thoughts, and Mrs. Ji doesn't care much about them.
After sending the congratulatory gifts, everyone in the Ji family sat in their seats and waited according to the seats arranged by Ji Wenkang in advance.
The location arranged today is a bit clever.
Mrs. Ji was naturally at the very front, and her height was much higher than the rest of the audience.
Under the old lady Ziji, there are countless tables placed together, and these tables are divided into four small areas.
In the courtyard, each occupies the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.
There are large gaps between the four partitioned tables and chairs, as if to distance themselves from each other.
Ji Leshan's family sat on the north side, next to Mrs. Ji's table.
Ji Yushu's family was placed at the table on the east side, while Ji Wenkang and Ji Yourong sat at the table on the west side.
The southernmost area is where the descendants of the Ji family sit.
This arrangement is considered normal. Big families have big family rules, and they must be extremely strict at times like this.
But this year’s seating arrangements are obviously classified!
Especially the seats of the three Ji family brothers are very far away from each other, as if there is a big gap.
However, even Mrs. Ji didn't say anything, so naturally the others wouldn't look for trouble.
"Humph! It's best this way. It seems that I rarely sit with them." Tang Qiuyun muttered.
"You should say less." Ji Yushu sighed softly.
Lu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked around the audience casually. Seeing the meaningful looks in many people's eyes, he suddenly couldn't help but want to laugh.
OK!
Since you are so deliberately trying to target me, Lu Yu, then don’t blame me, Lu Yu, for being ruthless!
After seeing everyone take their seats, the housekeeper stood up again.
"It's almost an hour before the friends of the Ji family come to celebrate their birthdays. Let's applaud today's birthday boy and ask him to give us a few words of advice."
