Then, he took out a bag of melon seeds, a bag of fava beans, and a bag of popcorn from his school bag. "Grandpa, Grandma, these are for you."
"Good boy! Youxuan is five years old this year, right? "Yu Qianying was more and more happy.
"Yeah, he should be in primary school next year," Guan Liya said.
Yu Qianying saw that there were only a few people in the house and asked, "Chengyue didn't come?"
"She …" Guan Liya smiled awkwardly and didn't hide it. "Anyway, Song Yu and Jianyi are old friends. I'm afraid that everyone will feel awkward if they come."
Yu Qianying didn't know what Guan Liya meant. Was it really for Song Yu's good or had other intentions, so she said, "There's nothing awkward about it. After our family went bankrupt, Jianyi helped a lot. Now that we're relatives, it's fate."
"Haha!" Guan Liya laughed dryly and didn't say anything else.
Yu Qianying ignored her and focused on playing with Qi Youxuan.
After a while, the old man and the old lady came, followed by Qi Zhongliang and Xia Wenna.
Song Donglin and Yu Qianying were very respectful to the old man and the old lady.
Everyone sat down and Xia Wenna sat next to Yu Qianying.
Xia Wenna hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Qianying, we're going to be in-laws. Don't worry, our family and Chengzhi will never do anything to let you down again."
Yu Qianying didn't hear the loophole in Xia Wenna's words and didn't notice the meaning of the word 'again'.
Because the two of them were childhood friends, they didn't contact each other because of the Song family's bankruptcy. It was impossible to say that she didn't have any feelings for Xia Wenna.
Because the closer they were, the more hurt Yu Qianying suffered when the accident happened.
Xia Wenna's words were equivalent to an apology, which was not easy for her. Yu Qianying thought of the relationship between the two of them in the past. It had been so many years and now they were going to be in-laws again. Yu Qianying couldn't be angry.
She reached out and hesitated for a moment before holding Xia Wenna's hand.
Xia Wenna's eyes turned red and immediately held her hand. "Qianying, you … forgive me?"
Yu Qianying sighed. "We're going to be in-laws. There's nothing to forgive. Can we not contact each other in the future?"
Seeing Xia Wenna's reaction, the old lady nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, alright. Today is a happy day. Why are you crying? Have you ordered? "
"Dynasty has specially prepared a meal for the engagement. We've already booked one," Qi Chengzhi said.
Old Mrs. Han beamed with satisfaction. "In-laws, look at our fate. After so many twists and turns, we still have to become in-laws! At that time, I was holding my unfilial grandson and foolishly missed Song Yu. I scolded him for a long time. What a pity, Song Yu is such a good granddaughter-in-law, why isn't she from our family? I've always wondered which brat would be lucky enough to marry Song Yu. "
"I didn't expect my eldest grandson to live up to expectations and marry my granddaughter-in-law!" The old lady beamed with joy and was quite proud of herself.
Yu Qianying really didn't know how to reply to the old lady. The door of the room was opened again.
"Grandpa, Grandma, sorry we're late," Qi Chengyue said in a lively tone.
Guan Liya didn't expect Qi Chengyue to come. Old Madam Han had told her not to let Qi Chengyue come. She was worried that Jian Yi's presence would make Song Yu's family feel awkward. Qi Chengyue didn't know her place and disturbed the atmosphere of the banquet.
Guan Liya couldn't control her daughter anymore. She knew that if she told Qi Chengyue directly, Qi Chengyue would definitely not agree. So, she decided to hide it from her. They came secretly but she didn't expect Qi Chengyue to know.
Old Mrs. Han smiled and said, "You're always late and making a bunch of elders wait for you. That's outrageous! When can you be more polite? "
"Grandma, isn't there a traffic jam? We left quite early. I didn't expect the traffic to be so bad. Otherwise, we would have arrived a long time ago. " The waiter brought two chairs over. Qi Chengyue pulled Jian Yi to sit down. "Today is such an important day. How can we miss it?"
"Song Yu is getting married to Big Brother. Jian Yi is also happy for Song Yu. After all, they grew up together. Jian Yi is also very concerned about Song Yu." Qi Chengyue held Jian Yi's arm. "Don't you think so?"
Jian Yi smiled coldly. He didn't want to come today, but Qi Chengyue dragged him here no matter what. She even said that she wanted him to watch Song Yu and Qi Chengzhi get engaged and married. She wanted him to watch Song Yu fall in love with another man. She wanted him to give up on this idea.
Give up on this idea?
He didn't know what he was thinking right now.
He knew that it was impossible for him to be with Song Yu in this life. However, he couldn't bear to see Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu together!
Even if it was impossible for him to be with Song Yu, he would at least break her up with Qi Chengzhi.
Identity, status, power, money. These were all things that Qi Chengzhi was born with. However, he sacrificed love and still didn't get these things.
What right did Qi Chengzhi have to win a love when he already had so much and make his life perfect?
Since Qi Chengzhi already had so much, why should he still have what he originally could have?
Originally, this was the only thing that he had and Qi Chengzhi didn't.
But now, Qi Chengzhi even had this!
The old lady's voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Xiao Yu, since we've already met today, why don't we take this opportunity to discuss marriage?" The old lady said, "What we mean is that the wedding will be held in a lively manner in the dynasty. I don't know what you guys think. Tell us and we'll discuss it."
"I don't have any other requests. I just want our Song Yu to get married in a grand manner. Don't get married quietly and suffer grievances," Yu Qianying said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
"Of course!" The old lady quickly nodded and took out the almanac from her bag.
Yu Qianying suspected that the old lady had this thing with her all the time.
"Xiao Yu, I picked a few days and drew them out. Take a look." The old lady handed the almanac to Xia Wenna and asked her to pass it to Yu Qianying.
As Yu Qianying looked at it, she listened to the old lady say, "When the date is set, let Chengzhi tell Xiao Yunqing to empty the sky and close the business. We'll book it."
"Book Dynasty? You sure are rich! "The old man glared at her while blowing his beard.
"So what? My eldest grandson wants to marry a wife, so it'll be grand! Then we'll get a helicopter and take aerial photos! "The old lady wasn't afraid of his glare and shouted back.
"That's what I'm thinking. In-laws, can you guys listen? The wedding will be held in the dynasty during the day. Chengzhi and Xiao Yan are close! So for the appreciation banquet at night, we'll book the red roof too and hold it there. I'm thinking that Xiao Yan is too embarrassed to ask us for the booking fee. Would he care about such a small amount of money? Just let him treat us! "
"Also, we'll ask Xiao Han to take care of the emcee for the wedding. We don't need the ones from the wedding planner company. They're not high class. Xiao Han has so many famous people in his company. Let him pick one to be our emcee. Also, we'll think about the wedding music and special effects later. Let Xiao Han take care of them too. "
The old lady counted with her fingers. "As for those celebrities, don't let them come. Otherwise, they'll all have bad intentions and want to use this opportunity to get to know young talents. Then our wedding won't be high class."
"Huh? If that's the case, then let Xiao Han find Director Wu from his company. Also, what's the name of that famous cameraman again? He's always working with Director Wu. Let them follow the wedding. When the time comes, let the professional big shots from their company do the editing. I guarantee that the wedding film will be as high-end as a big movie. "
The old man heard the old lady talking more and more and more unreliable. He couldn't help but say, "Can you do it? She doesn't have a job? Do you think she'll have time to come just because you want her to? It's just a wedding, and you're messing around! "
"How can she not have time? Later, I'll ask Xiao Han to make a name list to see who's free. Their company has so many famous directors. Can't they find one that's free? I don't think there's any need for a wedding planner. Just find a chief planner. Get Xiao Han to contact a makeup artist as well. We must make sure that my granddaughter-in-law looks beautiful. No one can compare to her! "
After the old lady said this, no one else found a chance to interrupt. The old lady thought for a while and said, "Why don't we find a time and personally go to Xiao Han's company to talk to him about these things."
In the end, this meal made Yu Qianying sweat all over. She felt that the wedding planned by the old lady was a little too grand.
Jian Yi looked at her coldly. His phone rang in his pocket. He apologized and went to the corridor with his phone.
"Have you found something?" Jian Yi asked directly.
After hearing what the other party said, his brows furrowed even tighter.
"Then what about the legal representative of the company?" he asked in a low voice.
"…"
"I got it. I'll check as soon as possible." As Jian Yi said this, he suddenly thought of something. "If it's possible, go and check on Qi Chengzhi's situation."
…
…
Guan Xiaolin used Li Zhuoan's room for the gathering with her old classmates from Jixia Academy. This was because Li Zhuoan was the only one who had a VIP room in Dynasty. It was just that the room wasn't as luxurious as Qi Chengzhi's.
They came out of the room and turned a corner. They happened to see Jian Yi in the corridor, who had just hung up the phone.
Jian Yi didn't go back to his room immediately. Instead, he leaned against the wall, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep puff.
Guan Xiaolin frowned and whispered to the person beside her, "I'll go and say hello."
She walked in Jian Yi's direction. Jian Yi didn't seem to notice her. His gloomy face was still staring at the door opposite him.
Guan Xiaolin frowned. When did Jian Yi start smoking?
He looked too gloomy when he smoked. It wasn't like him at all.
She was about to call him when the door opposite Jian Yi suddenly opened. Guan Liya and Qi Zhongxun walked out. Behind them, she could faintly see that it seemed to be Qi Chengyue.
Guan Xiaolin thought it was their family gathering. She greeted, "Aunt, Uncle."
"Xiaolin?" Guan Liya saw her and smiled. She held her hand. "Why are you here too?"
"A few of our old classmates came to catch up. I saw —" Guan Xiaolin said and suddenly stopped talking. She saw Song Donglin and Yu Qianying also walking out of the room.
Then Qi Zhongliang and Xia Wenna, then Qi Chenglin and Qi Youxuan, followed by Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu. The last ones who came out were the old master and the old lady of the Qi family.
This was the whole Qi family coming out!
Seeing such a big lineup, and seeing that Song Donglin and Yu Qianying were also there, Guan Xiaolin was shocked and thought of a possibility.
Other than an engagement, how could there be such a situation where the two families were present at the same time?
She just didn't expect that the Qi family would accept Song Yu so easily, and Song Yu's parents didn't object.
Even the old master and the old lady of the Qi family came in person!
Did they attach so much importance to the marriage between Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu?
"Xiaolin? You haven't come to our house for a long time. Have you been busy recently? "Yu Qianying also asked happily.
Guan Xiaolin was the only person who still kept in touch with Song Yu after the Song family went bankrupt, so Yu Qianying especially liked her.
Originally, when the Song family was doing well, she didn't like Guan Xiaolin very much. But now, she felt that this little girl wasn't a snobbish person. She didn't alienate Song Yu because the Song family went bankrupt, which was very rare.
She didn't know what Guan Xiaolin did behind Song Yu's back, and Song Yu didn't take the initiative to tell her. At that time, if Jian Yi didn't have the cheek to go to the Song family, Song Yu wouldn't have told her about Jian Yi.
Guan Xiaolin looked at Song Yu strangely. She didn't dare to look at Qi Chengzhi. Qi Chengzhi gave her too much pressure, and Qi Chengzhi knew all about her. She didn't dare to look at him at all.
Song Yu was expressionless and didn't greet Guan Xiaolin. He turned his head and waited for the old lady to come out. Then, he chatted with the old lady.
"Yes, I'm quite busy," Guan Xiaolin could only reply vaguely.
Yu Qianying wasn't a fool. Since Guan Xiaolin came out, Song Yu hadn't greeted Guan Xiaolin. She immediately knew that there must be something wrong with the relationship between the two.
She believed in Song Yu's character. Her own child couldn't pick out any mistakes in interpersonal relationships. He was the kind of person who would respect others tenfold if you respected him.
If he really treated you as a friend, he would definitely be willing to do anything for you.
But once he became cold, it must be that the other party had done something bad.
At that moment, Yu Qianying also smiled and let go of Guan Xiaolin's hand. She still had a smile on her face, but it wasn't warm anymore. It was completely different from the enthusiasm that came from the bottom of her heart just now.
Guan Liya asked in surprise, "Xiaolin and Song Yu are friends?"
Guan Xiaolin's heart moved. It was rare that all the members of the Qi family were gathered here, especially the old man and the old lady. She really wanted to leave an impression on the old man and the old lady.
Although Guan Liya was her aunt, she only had a good relationship with Guan Liya. Qi Zhongxun was also indifferent to her. As for the Qi Family itself, she couldn't get close to them at all. She had no relationship with them at all.
Although the old man and the old lady were usually very approachable in their community, in fact, it was difficult for other families to meet them.
She didn't expect that she could meet them today, so she wanted to leave a good impression on the old man and the old lady.
Guan Xiaolin planned to go all out and directly say that she and Song Yu were good friends, regardless of Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu. But before she could say it, Song Yu said lightly, "Just an old classmate."
His words confirmed Yu Qianying's guess.
Guan Liya didn't expect that Song Yu would be so cold. She was also stunned.
Hearing Song Yu's words, the old lady nodded lightly. Hearing Guan Xiaolin call the old man and the old lady warmly, the old couple also greeted them politely and indifferently.
The other people who had a party with Guan Xiaolin also came one after another. Naturally, they couldn't miss this opportunity to get to know the Qi family. They all greeted the elders of the Qi family obediently.
The old man and the old lady didn't put on airs either. They smiled and responded, but they didn't act too affectionate.
Qi Chengzhi glanced at Li Zhuoan, who was walking over. He had seen Gao Jingqiu just now. He probably didn't dare to see him and was hiding now.
Qi Chengzhi nodded lightly at Li Zhuoan, a mocking smile on his lips. He then turned his head and brushed a strand of Song Yu's fallen hair with his fingertip, tucking it behind her ear.
His movements were gentle. His eyes were so gentle that only Song Yu could be seen.
As if there was no one else around, he did these natural and intimate little gestures.
"Let's go." Qi Chengzhi's voice was calm as he gently held Song Yu's waist.
"Xiao Yu, I invited you to my house last time, but you didn't come. You told me to wait for you at home." The old lady waved her hand and called Yu Qianying over. She held her hand and didn't let go. "You came today, but we didn't have enough time to talk during the meal. Let's go. You can go back with us. We can continue talking. "
Yu Qianying thought that the old lady was just being polite. Who would have thought that the old lady was serious?
Now that she was being dragged away by the old lady, she really couldn't refuse. The group went to the Qi Family mansion.
The old lady saw that Yu Qianying really liked Qi Youxuan, so she smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. When Chengzhi and Song Yu get married, it won't be long before you can hold a chubby grandson."
Guan Xiaolin stood where she was and watched the Qi Family leave. She could still hear the old lady's words.
"Is that the Qi Family and the Song Family? They — "Wu Lijun walked to Guan Xiaolin's side in disbelief. At this time, she saw the Qi Family disappear around the corner. She also saw Song Donglin and Yu Qianying in the crowd.
"Why are they together?" Li Qianyi also walked over and asked in surprise.
Weren't these two families like fire and water a long time ago?
When Song Yu and Qi Chengzhi were together, everyone knew that the Qi Family wouldn't agree to them being together. Even the Song Family wouldn't agree.
Guan Xiaolin's face darkened. "It seems that they are not far from marriage. The two families have already recognized their relationship and sat down to meet the parents of both sides."
"Judging from Old Lady Qi's attitude towards Yu Qianying, it seems that they have a good relationship. Even Xia Wenna and Yu Qianying seem to have a good attitude towards each other. What's going on?" Li Qianyi said in disbelief. She was not so much asking Guan Xiaolin as talking to herself.
From the beginning, they didn't think that Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu would be together.
They even thought that Qi Chengzhi couldn't be serious about Song Yu. It was just a novelty.
"The parents of both sides are meeting. Why are they all here?" Wu Lijun said. She thought of a possibility and suddenly exclaimed, "It can't be an engagement!"
Wu Lijun's words made everyone look in the direction where the Qi Family disappeared.
Although there was no one there, they still kept looking.
Guan Xiaolin thought of Qi Chengzhi's gentle and caring attitude towards Song Yu just now. She was in a trance. She couldn't tell how it felt to have a man like Qi Chengzhi care for her so much.
In a trance, she heard Li Qianyi murmur, "I can't believe it … I can't believe it …"
Although it was just a few simple words, everyone knew what she meant.
They didn't expect that Song Yu and Qi Chengzhi had reached this step and were preparing to get married.
Seeing the Qi Family's big lineup today, and seeing Song Donglin and his wife, who hadn't appeared in the entertainment circle for many years, no one suspected that they were meeting today to discuss marriage.
Although Li Qianyi didn't say it out loud, she was really envious.
Li Qianyi was like this. Actually, wasn't everyone else the same?
…
…
Han Zhouli's company also held a solemn ceremony to worship the gods before the start of filming. But Old Madam's identity was here, so she naturally didn't have to go with the crew.
The last time Old Madam called Han Zhouli, she got the role of the female lead's mother without any difficulty.
Although Old Madam was old, she took good care of herself. Playing the female lead's mother wasn't out of place.
Moreover, this role didn't have many scenes. Basically, it was filmed in the courtyard. Old Madam didn't need to leave the old house at all. Every day, she could go to the set. If there weren't any scenes for her, she could go home directly. If she felt bored, she could even go back to the set to chat.
Actually, that role had already been decided. They were already in contact with the actress. But that actress also relied on her connections. She was the sister-in-law of an influential elder brother in the entertainment circle.
But since Old Madam wanted to act, Han Zhouli naturally wouldn't reject her.
Others might give that elder brother some face, but Han Zhouli really didn't care about him. Without saying anything, he directly gave the role to Old Madam.
That sister-in-law naturally went to complain to the elder brother. The elder brother also came looking for her, but was also sent away by Han Zhouli. Old Madam didn't know about this.
The Saturday, a week after the engagement party, was Old Madam's first day on set.
Old Madam didn't want the people in the production crew to know her identity, especially those actors. She was afraid that if they knew, they would come over to flatter her. Old Madam really didn't have the mood to greet them.
Moreover, it was also because Old Madam didn't want to receive special treatment. She still wanted to test her acting skills.
If they all knew her identity, they would inevitably praise her for acting well in order to please her, even if she didn't act well.
But Han Zhouli was afraid that Old Madam would be at a disadvantage. There were many open and secret fights in the production crew. He was afraid that some blind people who didn't know Old Madam's identity would bully her, an outsider. They thought that because Old Madam's background was ordinary, they didn't know how to respect her. So, he still secretly told the director about Old Madam's identity.
The director then understood. It was no wonder that a television series actually repeatedly alarmed Young Master Zhuo to personally ask about it.
