The daughter-in-law of a wealthy family does not lie flat

Although Lu Qing was young, she still knew what "Ma Shang Feng" meant.

"Oh, what a fuss. He's already 90! Why is he still..."

"No, I wasn't even ninety at the time. I was eighty-nine. I was ninety when I died."

Lu Qing smiled and said, "Mom, you are really serious. I don't know anything about these things."

"No one outside knows that my cousin, the one who runs a private school, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jiang family are college classmates. Otherwise, who would know so much about our family affairs?"

"It's still mom. She has a wide network of contacts and is well-informed. What happened next?"

"Lu Qing, I just realized today that you are also a gossiper. Later, when the old man died, whoever inherited it was the rightful heir. Just give that so-called stepmother a few million and forget it. After all, it was not registered."

Lu Qing nodded, suddenly realizing, "No wonder Dad has been so eager to open a supermarket in the past six months. The Jiang family is the largest manufacturer and supplier in many fields."

"Yes, his old man and your grandfather didn't get along before. It seemed that it was just some trivial matters. Anyway, they just didn't cooperate. In fact, your father and the first and second uncles of the Jiang family are very good. It's just that at that time, due to the old man being in power, it was inconvenient to cooperate on a large scale. They have always kept in touch privately."

"Whose engagement are we going to attend today? Which branch? Dad didn't tell me in advance, and I haven't even prepared a special gift. I don't know if the other party will be satisfied or not."

Ming Sicun patted Lu Qing's hand, "As for engagement, it's just the same old things. It's enough for the person to show up. You have to give a gift money anyway. The one who's getting engaged this time is Jiang Zi'an, the son of the eldest branch of the Jiang family. The girl is not from here, but from the north city. Her name is Zhong Baobao. I saw that's what was written on the post."

"From the North City? Perhaps he is someone of some status?"

"That's right. You can tell by looking at the way the names are chosen. It's fine if we know about it, but the fewer people who know about it, the better. You see, this engagement party is more lively than other wedding parties. Everyone wants to go and see what's going on. It would be best if we could meet the in-laws."

Lu Qing shook her head. "If he is really the kind of person you said, he might not come."

While Ming Sicun was on the phone, Lu Qing contacted Dai Xinxin to quickly deliver something to the engagement hotel.

The engagement party was held in a club. Different from what Mingsi had imagined, the main feature was that the number of people was small but elite.

Lu Qing supported her mother-in-law as they walked inside. Along the way, they met familiar faces from Haicheng shopping malls or celebrities from all walks of life.

The current head of the Jiang family, CEO Jiang Qidong, and his wife Shang Junru were standing at the entrance of the club to welcome guests. When they saw Ming Sicun and Lin Luqing arriving, Shang Junru and her husband hurriedly came forward to greet them, "Sister-in-law is here! Thank you for your hard work! This is my niece's wife, right? They look like real mother and daughter."

Lu Qing greeted them uncle and aunt with a smile, and at the same time looked at Jiang Qidong, the largest shareholder of the Jiang family.

Jiang Qidong is less than 60 years old this year, but looks older than his actual age. He is steady and mature. His hair is gray but not dyed. He wears a conventional old-fashioned suit, which makes him look down-to-earth and not out of line with fashion.

When he was born, Jiang's father was nearly 40 years old. He had countless women at home and outside, but none of them had any children. This made the older generation of the Jiang family extremely anxious, and people outside the family also made jokes about this, half true and half false.

Jiang Qidong's birth was self-evident, and it severely slapped the faces of his opponents. Who said he couldn't have children? Then he gave birth to his second child, Jiang Zhennan.

This was quite good in the Jiang family, which had few children. Thanks to these two children, no one could shake Jiang's mother's position as the legal wife until her death.

Jiang Qidong spoke up, "Why didn't Brother Fu come? It seems he was angry because of the last time he drank. He insisted that I drank half a cup less than him! Hahahaha!"

Ming Sicun also laughed, "Then I'll ask him when he comes back from Europe. We can't afford to lose this much. We have to set up another table to make up for it!"

Shang Junru is a typical Jiangnan woman, she is still elegant and gentle even when she is old. "So Chairman Fu went to Europe! He must have worked so hard! Then sister-in-law must drink a few more glasses today. How come my niece-in-law still has a model-like figure after giving birth? Pick up your favorite food and eat more. You can't lose any more weight!"

Ming Sicun held her hand and said, "Okay! We're going to drink a lot of wine at this wedding. Let's go in. You can get busy. There are many guests today."

Lu Qing has been paying more attention to her weight recently. She was happy to hear what Mrs. Jiang said, but then she started to scold herself, saying that she was just an ordinary person and could listen to anything nice she wanted.

Jiang Qidong and his team were very particular about seating arrangement. Today, Ming Sicun and Lin Luqing sat at the first table on the left of the main table. Also at this table were Zhang Songnian and his wife, the son and daughter-in-law of the real estate Ma family, the eldest daughter of the e-commerce Liu family who came by herself, and two uncles from the Jiang family who came to keep them company.

We were all acquaintances and had a great time chatting.

Lu Qing and Mrs. Zhang Songnian had always been in private contact, but on the surface their friendship was as pure as water. The two maintained this tacit understanding and just smiled and nodded at each other.

Ming Sicun was well-known for his love of playing mahjong. As soon as he sat down, a lady he knew came over to invite him to play a game. Fu Daishi happened to be away from the country, so Ming Sicun had plenty of time to play cards to his heart's content.

It was 12:18 in the morning and the engagement ceremony began.

Although it was just an engagement party, the woman still wore a white dress with a relatively simple style, but Lu Qing had also seen people use this dress as a wedding dress.

The two newlyweds gradually approached, and Lu Qing was able to see their true faces.

Jiang Zian, the groom-to-be, is about 1.75 meters tall and looks like a replica of his father Jiang Qidong, but also a bit mature beyond his years. When he walked into the venue with his fiancée, he did not show any panic of a young man.

The girl's name should be Zhong Baobao. The first moment Lu Qing saw her face, she felt that this girl was worthy of the four words "graceful and spirited". She felt that her temperament was that of Mulan who was ready to go to the battlefield at any time.

Baby Zhong was wearing high heels and was almost as tall as her fiancé. She had sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, red lips and white teeth. Her upper body hardly moved when she walked. She must have been well-educated or had received special etiquette training.

Lu Qing usually doesn't like to participate in this kind of ceremony. No matter how beautiful the love is, it seems dull after being introduced like this by the host.

Sure enough, the host introduced the two people's love experience, and the ignorance, excitement, grievance, anger, reconciliation, and trust of countless lovers were condensed into one sentence. "These two engaged couples met and fell in love in college."

Ming Sicun whispered to Lu Qing, "You guessed it right. I didn't see the girl's parents sitting anywhere. Maybe they didn't come."

Jiang Qidong stood up and said a few words of thanks, and then said a few words of encouragement to the children. He even mentioned how pleased his deceased father would be if he saw this scene.

Shang Junru didn't say much, she just took out the betrothal gift and gave it to her future daughter-in-law.

It was just an engagement, and Lu Qing thought the ring must be at least five carats.

Before she could say anything, Ming Sicun came over again and said, "It has to be five carats, right?"
