Ji Xuewei was still angry in her heart, but that was before yesterday. Today is her big day, she's certainly happy, and not only does she want to be happy herself, but also wants everyone to see that she's really happy!
Can't help but say, Ji Xuewei's complexion today really looks great, like a spring flower, not at all like she's wearing heavy makeup... These two standing together are indeed quite well-matched, talented and beautiful, Qin Zong's appearance is more elegant and refined, while Ji Xuewei has a soft and delicate feeling, so there's really no sense of mismatch.
But standing off the stage, Ji Xiaoli knew that despite Ji Xuewei's gentle appearance, she was not like that at all. Qin Zong marrying such a woman really didn't know whether it was good or bad luck.
"What's on your mind? You're so lost in thought..."
Ji Xiaoli shook her head: "No, it's just that I'm feeling quite sentimental...I used to think that my relationship with Ji Xuewei would change at least after getting married, but unexpectedly fate played a trick on us and we've become one family again."
It's quite amusing for a family to be like this, with one elder and one younger... In the future, when we meet again, our forms of address will probably get all mixed up. However, no matter how you think about it, these are not the main issues.
"If you don't want to, you don't have to interact with her... We're also living separately now, each going our own way, it's not troublesome like this."
Qin Zhenyang finished speaking, raised his head and looked at the newlyweds with a cold gaze. Coincidentally, he met Qin Zheng's eyes scanning over him. He narrowed his eyes and returned a cold smile!
They're already engaged, and he still dares to have ideas about someone else's wife! Where does this kind of cheap thing come from? It seems that after this matter is settled, he needs to give his nephew a good lesson in politics, teach him that other people's wives are not so easily coveted, especially when they're older than you!
Qin Zong shifted his gaze back after receiving a warning glance from his third uncle. He had also accidentally had an intimate relationship with Ji Xuewei, and since she was more open-minded than him, he played along for a few times... But after they really broke up, he regretted it.
What he really cares about is who, and what he thinks doesn't need to be said... But he has already lost the opportunity, snatched away by Qin Zhenyang, and can only accept reality.
His fiancée may look gentle, but he had experienced her means before and was not pleased in his heart. However, he still thought of the child in her womb... which is why today's engagement ceremony took place.
Qin Zong's expression at this time had already been seen by Ji Xuewei, who couldn't help but sneer in her heart. The engagement had already taken place, so what could he do if he regretted it now? Moreover, that cheap woman already had a man, so even if he wanted to, what could he do?!
But seeing Qin Zhenyang tightly protecting the person by his side, Ji Xuewei couldn't help but admit that she was deeply jealous! Both of them were thinking about her, taking care of her! She couldn't compare to herself in any way, so why was it like this? A sly smile flashed across her eyes, whether she cared or not, the one who laughed last was the real winner!
Ji Xiaoli looked at the men gathering together in the field, while the women were chatting in a group, thinking to herself that she was still holding onto him and wondered if it was a bit too much. "You go over to the male guests' side, I'll be fine on my own...I think I just saw Xiaoguang earlier, might as well go chat with her for a bit."
Qin Zhenyang was a bit worried, but at this time Qin Dajye, also known as Qin Weiliang, came to call him and said that the old master was in the study room, wanting to talk to him!
Ji Xiaoli couldn't guess what Old Master wanted to talk to him about, but he felt a bit uncertain and uneasy in his heart. At this time, Qi Xiaoguang arrived.
"I thought you wouldn't come today? You didn't see Ji Xuewei's smug face, it's really... She even dared to show off after stealing someone else's boyfriend, she's really something! Qi Xiaoguang was one of the few who knew the truth, so he wasn't impressed by Ji Xuewei's innocent look."
Ji Xiaoli smiled: "He's definitely coming, after all, he and I have gone through the formalities. Whether the Qin family acknowledges it or not, it can't change the fact."
"What's so-called a wealthy family is just that troublesome... Let's be reborn as men next life, and let them be women instead. Why should women suffer from these troubles?" No matter if it's the seductress or whatever, such words will never harm men, but only push the blame onto women.
Ji Xiaoli shrugged, "If that's really the case, I'm really curious about what Wei Xing would look like as a woman!"
Qiao Guang punched her secretly and winked, "Don't mention that, actually I arrived earlier than you. My mother-in-law is also here, chatting with those old ladies. I'm so annoyed, so I took the opportunity to slip away... Everyone is guessing what identity the woman beside Qin San Ye has! You'd better be careful how you respond!"
"Did they really want to swallow me alive?" Ji Xiao left off the joke, she knew that everyone's gaze was not right, but she didn't expect it to be so strong.
Qiao Guang smiled and said, "You don't know... just now I heard those people talking about things from the past. Your Third Master has always been one to keep his distance from women. In the past, there was a woman who stripped naked and ran into his room, but she was thrown out by your master on a cold winter's night and left at the door... that incident caused quite a stir back then, otherwise why do you think those people find it so strange that Qin Third Master has a female companion?"
"They won't think that our family's one is actually a good man!"
Qī Xiǎo Guāng was just joking, but when he saw the person coming from the other side, he couldn't help but push her gently and whispered: "I told you someone didn't want you to be at peace, look, they've already arrived!"
The two people who came were Zhang Xiuyao and Ji Xuewei.
It's rare to see a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship as harmonious as this. Zhang Xiuxiu just praised her daughter-in-law in front of all the noble ladies, giving Ji Xuewei plenty of face... As for her son's previous absurd behavior, not a word was mentioned, she's protecting her daughter-in-law!
Her attitude also indirectly determined the attitude of these noblewomen towards Ji Xuewei. A daughter-in-law who can win over her mother-in-law's favor is naturally not simple! And looking at Ji Xuewei's obedient and clever attitude, the noblewomen could also exchange a few words with her.
It's not surprising, Zhang Xiuxiu doesn't particularly like this daughter-in-law, just because she is obedient and they have a common enemy. Zhang Xiuxiu doesn't hate Ji Xuewei as much, but finds her more annoying. So it's good that her son married this one instead. Most importantly, her son said Xuewei is pregnant.
This is a big deal!
"Sister, I'm really glad you're here... Just now Qin Zong was asking me about you!" Ji Xuewei said with a subtle expression on her face, as if she had been wronged in some way.
Ji Xiaoli didn't say a word, wanting to see how this good sister would direct and act on her own.
Zhang Xiuzhen's face sank, thinking that her son had already engaged with his daughter-in-law, would there be any changes in between? How could he still be thinking of this woman! One was enough, but this was Lao San's person, it was really unlucky!
"You're already with Lao San, so be content and don't stir up trouble. Not to mention that your family hasn't even acknowledged your identity! But Qin Zong is already engaged, and he has Xue Wei now. No matter what, Xue Wei is still your sister. Can't you see the face of the Ji family? It's not good for you to still be thinking about snatching your sister's husband!" Zhang Xiuzi said bluntly.
Qiao Xiaoguang wanted to speak, but this was a family matter of others, and she didn't want to interfere. Moreover, although she was usually overbearing, her mother-in-law was present today, so it wasn't good to make too much noise, therefore she could only remain silent.
Ji Xiao's expression didn't change, and when she saw the two of them coming over, she already knew something was off. So after hearing this, her face coldly smiled: "Rob? Why would I rob? You all consider him a treasure, so take good care of him. What does this have to do with me? Who did I provoke? And how am I supposed to know who else I've seduced? Even if you really want to say that, you'll need evidence to prove it! Otherwise, these are just slanderous accusations!"
"Don't be so shameless, you know it in your heart! If you can't seduce our family's Zhang Zhang, then seduce Lao San. You've taken away the souls of both Qin family members, one after another. Miss Ji is indeed skilled!" Zhang Xiuzi asked calmly.
Ji Xuewei saw that it had come to this, and yet she still pretended to be pitiful, pursing her lips as she stood between the two of them: "Aunt, my sister... don't speak of her like that, it's all my fault... otherwise Qin Zong wouldn't have gone a whole month without even looking at me."
Both of them were engaged, but surprisingly they hadn't seen each other for a whole month?
Zhang Xiuxia knew that her son hadn't been traveling for work much lately, and since the family knew he was going to get engaged soon, he had a lot of free time... but the two of them were still like this...
She subconsciously took a glance at Ji Xiaoli and was even more convinced that this fox spirit had secretly seduced her son, otherwise how could he have become like this!
Ji Xiaoli was too lazy to continue talking with them, anyway, no matter what she said, it wouldn't work out well, so why waste her breath. She prepared to pull Qi Xiaoguang away to somewhere else, but Zhang Xiuxiu blocked their way.
"Are you guilty? You keep saying it's Lao San, but both Zheng Zheng and Xue Wei are engaged, how can they not see each other for a month? Are they all with you? Tell me clearly! Otherwise, I won't say it's me, even if I say it's the Qin family, no one will let you off!" Zhang Xiuxiu smiled coldly, the old lady dotes on her youngest son the most, if she finds out his woman is not a good thing, she will definitely take action against her, at that time...
Ji Xiaoli's face showed a hint of anger, and she furrowed her brow: "Madam Qin, please watch your words! As I said earlier, even if you don't treasure Qin Zong as a gem, not everyone is the same! In my eyes, he's just a man who abandons his promises, there are many men better than him and more excellent than him! Do you think I'll go back on my word? Sorry, but I really have no interest in that!"
Bang!
Zhang Xiujiao slapped him with a loud slap, the sound was so loud that almost all the female guests around heard the commotion and turned their heads to look over.
Zhang Xiuxiu was also furious, her own son was so excellent, but he was said to be worthless by this woman! Moreover, she had clearly done it, but didn't admit anything! This point made her unbearable!
Ji Xiaoli stared at Mrs. Qin with a cold expression, her eyes frosty, and turned to leave without any change in her facial expression. Having been slapped, she couldn't fight back, and this feeling was absolutely unbearable.
Everyone's eyes were curiously fixed on her. What was the identity of Qin San Ye's female companion, and how did she dare to confront Qin Da Shao's mother? The gunpowder smell seemed a bit thick...
"Xiao Li, are you okay?" Qi Xiao Guang's face was also filled with anger and hatred, wanting to grab Zhang Xiu E and give her a good scolding. But they were all wives of wealthy families, and some things had to be endured even if it was unbearable, especially in awkward situations like Ji Xiao Li's.
Ji Xiaoli smiled wryly and shook her head.
At this time, Ji Xuewei came over again. The two of them avoided her like the plague, but she still caught up: "Sister, I didn't do it on purpose... Don't be angry with Auntie, she's also worried about Qin Zong, that's why she did this..."
Ji Xiaoli didn't have the heart to continue "singing" with her, and was preparing to leave, but didn't know that Ji Xuewei came forward and pulled her, causing the half cup of red wine in Ji Xuewei's hand to spill all over her chest...
For a moment.
Ji Xiaoli was really at her wit's end.
A snow-white evening gown with stars dotted on it, but Ji Xuewei kept apologizing. The more she proudly refused to care, the louder the murmurs in the crowd became...
