Chen Chen decided to ignore Jiang Rui for the whole day.
When Zi called her in the afternoon, she was still lying on the bed and didn't want to move.
"Are you still sleeping?" Zi shouted on the other side of the phone, "The God of War told me that you were not feeling well and asked me not to disturb you. But it's late now. Aren't you hungry?"
Chen Chen was too embarrassed to tell her that Jiang Rui had fed her at noon, so she changed the topic hesitantly, "Is there something wrong in the store? You can have a rest tomorrow and I'll stay here."
"No!" Zi asked her strangely, "Didn't your God of War tell you?"
"What? He went to the army this afternoon and hasn't come back yet! "
Hearing this, Zi said proudly, "My Bear just called and said that the old witch of the Jiang family is going to celebrate her birthday!"
The old witch in her mouth was Song Chunli.
"I don't know. Brother Xiao Rui didn't tell me." Since Song Chunli woke up last time, Chen Chen hadn't seen her. She hadn't had time to go to the Jiang family after returning home.
Zi said, "You can ask him when you come back tonight. If you don't go, I won't go either."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Chen didn't want to move. She lay there in a daze until Jiang Rui came back with Tuan Zi.
"You still don't want to move?" Jiang Rui walked in and picked her up, only to find that the little woman had put on her pajamas. He pursed his lips, "Zi called you?"
Chen Chen felt dizzy because she had slept too much. She said with her eyes closed, "How did you know?"
"If she didn't call, she wouldn't be her." Jiang Rui helped her sit up, "I wanted to see grandpa a few days ago. Then Uncle said that she was going to celebrate her birthday, so I decided to go there earlier."
He helped her put on her shoes and took her to the bathroom. Chen Chen opened her eyes and saw that Jiang Rui had put the toothbrush to her mouth. She quickly took it over, "I'll do it myself. You go out first!"
Jiang Rui kissed her, "Hurry up. Buy your favorite spicy rabbit head."
On the weekend, Jiang Rui took Chen Chen and Tuan Zi back to the Jiang family early in the morning. When Song Chunli saw them, she was still cold.
"Grandma, happy birthday." Tuan Zi handed over the gift. It was a set of jade jewelry designed by Xin Qing.
Song Chunli opened it in front of him without hesitation. After reading it, she nodded with satisfaction and thanked him indifferently.
Tuan Zi didn't mind. Jiang Rui had taught her that there was no need to flatter people who didn't like her, and they didn't deserve her flattering.
Chen Chen didn't say anything. Anyway, Song Chunli pretended not to see her. Then, she would treat Song Chunli as air. Jiang Rui said "Happy Birthday" indifferently and led the mother and daughter into the study with Jiang Qianren.
"Did she ask to celebrate her birthday herself?" Jiang Rui frowned. Song Chunli's negative emotions became less, but at the same time, she became more cold.
Jiang Qianren was puzzled as well. "Yeah, she's never mentioned anything about celebrating her birthday. This time, Grandpa didn't know how to refute her. After all, he's already seventy years old. I don't know if he'll have another chance."
Jiang Rui thought for a while and asked Tuan Zi, "What do you think of grandma?"
"Cold," Tuan Zi said, "as cold as ice."
"Does this mean that there's no greater sorrow than a dead heart?" It was rare for Chen Chen to voice his opinion.
Jiang Rui smiled. "Don't be too far away from me when we arrive at the hotel."
"I always have trouble when I'm with you!" Chen Chen curled her lips. "I want to be with Ah Zi."
Tuan Zi pulled Jiang Rui's sleeve. "Dad, I'll keep an eye on mom."
Chen Chen stared at her. "It's me who should keep an eye on you!"
"Hahaha!" Jiang Qianren laughed. "Your family is really interesting."
At noon, in the most luxurious hotel in the capital, all the influential people came. The Jiang family hadn't held a banquet for many years. This time, it was rare to hold one, so all the influential people came.
Song Chunli was resting in the lounge when Song Meiyu came in with someone.
"Grandaunt, this is my new friend, Han Xueying." She pointed to the beautiful woman next to her and said, "I brought her here to celebrate your birthday!"
Han Xueying quickly handed the gift over and showed a sweet smile. "Grandma Jiang, I wish you a happy life and a long life!"
Song Chunli glanced at her. "Not from the capital?"
"Oh, Grandaunt, Han Xueying grew up abroad and just came back."
Han Xueying's eyes were watery, and she said nervously, "I hope Grandma Jiang doesn't dislike me."
Unless Jiang Rui asked, Scar and Xiao Si never attended such an occasion. Usually, only Bear was with them, because he had the highest military rank. So, if Song Meiyu hadn't brought her in, Han Xueying wouldn't have been qualified to attend the banquet.
"No problem." Song Chunli smiled unexpectedly. "You have such a beautiful face, so you can have any kind of identity and background."
Han Xueying was flattered, and even Song Meiyu said with jealousy, "Grandaunt, you don't care about me when you see Xueying's beauty!"
"You are so crazy all day. I heard from your father that he would send you abroad next month." Song Chunli glanced at her. She was beautiful, but too stupid. The Song family wanted to send her abroad for a year, and then they could marry her when she came back.
Song Meiyu didn't say anything on the surface, but she didn't take it seriously. If she didn't leave, would her family tie her up and send her abroad …
"Mom!" Jiang Qianren pushed the door open. "The banquet is about to start!" Jiang Qianren was stunned when he saw a strange woman in the room.
Han Xueying quickly lowered her head, looking worried and scared.
Song Chunli patted her hand. "This is Meiyu's friend."
"Come on, let me help you out!" Jiang Qianren nodded as a greeting.
When they were outside, the main seats were all occupied by the Jiang family. Han Xueying was arranged to sit at the table next to Song Meiyu's. She had already noticed that the name of the Bai family was on the nameplate.
"I was right, wasn't I? Look!" Ah Zi looked at Han Xueying with disdain. "Song Meiyu, the brainless girl, really brought her here."
Chen Chen saw Bai Ziqi walking over there. "I wonder if he will like Han Xueying!"
"Who knows!" Ah Zi snorted. "Bear said that Bai Ziqi is quite powerful now, completely different from before who only knew how to make trouble."
Jiang Rui turned her head around. "Stop looking. Is Bai Ziqi better-looking than me?"
"Hahaha!" Chen Chen immediately leaned on the man's shoulder. "You are better-looking than him."
The girl wouldn't lie. Jiang Rui pinched her nose with satisfaction and took the opportunity to kiss her secretly. Chen Chen pushed him away with her eyes wide open. "We are outside. Be careful! Where is Tuan Zi? "
"She went to the kitchen with the boy of the Wen family to get the cake, followed by Xie Hong." While they were talking, Xie Hong came back with the two little guys.
Jiang Rui stood up. "I will go there with Grandpa. We will definitely drink later. Take care of yourself." Then he said to Xie Hong worriedly, "Sorry to trouble you."
"Don't worry!" Xie Hong sat down and joked with him. "This time I will keep an eye on her without blinking. No one can take your wife away."
Chen Chen pushed him and said, "Go, go!"
When Bai Ziqi saw Han Xueying for the first time, he was indeed stunned. His childish thoughts popped up in his mind. But when he saw Jiang Rui at the next table, all his thoughts disappeared instantly.
He had vowed to take that man as his target. How could he be tempted by beauty, especially when he didn't know her background at all? Bai Ziqi despised himself in his heart and then nodded to Han Xueying politely.
"There is no one here. You can sit anywhere you like." Han Xueying smiled innocently, and her eyes became brighter. Bai Ziqi thought the girl was very cute. She thought he was here to get a seat. "
He pointed at the name tag on the table. "Bai Ziqi, my name."
"Ah!" Han Xueying blushed and lowered her head to apologize with embarrassment. "Sorry, I … I don't know."
Bai Ziqi saw her watery eyes and wanted to continue chatting with her. She was indeed a beauty. If she had a clean background, he could consider her. It was one thing to flirt with her, and another thing to marry her for real.
It was said that Leading Officer Jiang loved his wife as much as his life and was obedient to Chen Chen.
"Are you Song Meiyu's friend?"
Han Xueying looked at him blankly. "How do you know?"
Bai Ziqi smiled. "This seat is hers."
Song Meiyu followed Song Chunli to sit with the Jiang family. The reason she followed them was that she gave the seat to Han Xueying.
"Haha!" Han Xueying smiled. "I'm silly. You must know each other."
Ah Zi glanced at them from time to time. Seeing Bai Ziqi really chatting with Han Xueying, she hurriedly poked Chen Chen's arm. "See? What did I say? "
"That's enough." Bear stopped her. "Don't you see that Master is staring at you? Don't disturb Mrs. Jiang. "
Not only did they notice it, but also Song Chunli, who had been surrounded and toasted by others, noticed it. After the banquet, Song Meiyu took Han Xueying to say goodbye. Song Chunli said seemingly unintentionally, "I'm going to learn the tea ceremony tomorrow afternoon. Are you two interested?"
Song Meiyu was a little hesitant. She was most reluctant to do this kind of thing with the old lady.
"If Grandma Jiang doesn't mind, I'll accompany you!" Han Xueying glanced at Song Chunli and said with a smile.
"Good job!" Song Meiyu winked at her. "Thank you for saving me!"
Han Meiyu pursed her lips and smiled. "I didn't do it to save you. Of course, I won't miss such a good opportunity."
"Well, where do you live? I'll ask the driver to pick you up tomorrow afternoon." Song Chunli nodded with satisfaction. "What a good girl!"
In the evening, Han Xueying recalled what she had gained today and felt that it was much better than she had expected.
She didn't expect to be so lucky to sit next to Bai Ziqi. She had recognized the man when he came over. Then the silly and cute expression made the man let down his guard against her. He even left his phone number when he left.
What was more unexpected was that she was chosen by Song Chunli.
But she didn't dare to look down on this old lady. She must have some purpose to get close to her. Han Xueying didn't worry. Instead, she felt very good. It seemed that she had something that Song Chunli needed.
It was the best. Everyone had their own needs and could make use of each other.
But … Scar should have known that she went to the banquet. Why didn't he respond?
