The fake daughter's husband is reborn
Chapter 120 Engagement Banquet 2
Xie Jing couldn't bear it, so she picked up a corn dumpling for him. Zhou Jida held the small bowl and smiled at Xie Jing, looking very well behaved.
Fang Qin saw this scene and just clenched the chopsticks in her hand. Forget it. On such a happy day, there was no need for her to make trouble for this brat. Moreover, he was Zhou Zhida's favorite now. Why should she poke Zhou Zhida's lungs?
It would be enough for her to help Zhou Jiwen plan all the benefits that belonged to him.
After breakfast, people started to come to the old house one after another. They were basically relatives and friends of the Zhou and Shen families, while the partners only came in the evening.
Although the protagonists today are Zhou Jiwen and Shen Yaozhi, as the eldest daughter-in-law, Xie Jing still has to socialize with relatives and friends on both sides. She doesn't like socializing, but that doesn't mean Xie Jing doesn't know how to socialize. She is not that petty.
After a round of social events, everyone realized that although Xie Jing was not favored, she knew it in her heart.
Shen Yaozhi had no intention of competing with Xie Jing today. She was getting engaged today, and should be the happiest moment. Even if she wanted to have a fight with Xie Jing in the future, she would have to wait until after the engagement banquet.
If she acted arrogantly at this time, she would only make others laugh at her.
Xie Jing was also happy that Shen Yaozhi was quiet today. After all the socializing, it was time for the luncheon. At this time, it was Zhou Zhida and Fang Qin's home court, after all, it was their son who was engaged.
Looking at Fang Qin and Zhou Zhida holding their glasses and toasting everywhere, and Zhou Jiwen and Shen Yaozhi chatting happily, Xie Jing suddenly whispered: "In such a lively time, I seem to hear the death knell of doomsday."
Zhou Jiyun raised his eyebrows: "Really? Thinking about the evening, I'm already looking forward to it."
At this moment, he and Xie Jing were sitting at the main table. Apart from Old Man Zhou, the others sitting at the same table were the elders from the Zhou and Shen families.
As juniors, Zhou Jiyun and Xie Jing should sit at the juniors' table. But Zhou Jiyun is not just a junior. He is now the boss of the Zhou family, so he is on an equal footing with the elders.
The old man of the Shen family glanced at Xie Jing and said, "Yaozhi is young, I'll have to trouble you, Jingjing, to take care of her in the future."
Xie Jing raised her eyebrows slightly. Was the old man from the Shen family trying to please her or was he trying to warn her? In Xie Jing's opinion, it was probably a war. After all, Shen Yaozhi was the only daughter of the Shen family and had the support of the Shen family.
But what does Xie Jing have? She is just an unpopular young lady. She and her granddaughter become sisters-in-law. Doesn't she have to rely on her granddaughter in the future?
After understanding this relationship, Xie Jing did not break up with him. She just said falsely, "Yaozhi and I hit it off right away. If we really become a family, I will definitely get along well with her."
She emphasized the word "really". Although the Shen family felt that Xie Jing's words were a bit strange, they couldn't figure out what they meant. They just thought that Xie Jing had heard their implicit warning.
Zhou Jiyun glanced at the Shen family and started to criticize Xie Jing in front of him. It seemed that after the marriage between the two families fell through, there was no need for him to show mercy to the Shen family and he had to create some trouble for them.
Shen Yaozhi was in a very good mood, and she glanced at Xie Jing provocatively. With Xie Jing like this, would she dare to act like the eldest daughter-in-law in front of her?
Xie Jing naturally saw the look in Shen Yaozhi's eyes, and to be honest, she didn't mind at all. After all, the more Shen Yaozhi jumped around, the more ridiculous he looked in her eyes.
She had originally thought about talking to Shen Yaozhi about Zhou Jiwen, but now Xie Jing had changed her mind. She wasn't really being chaste, and since Shen Yaozhi and the Shen family dared to warn her in person, she naturally didn't need to respond with a warm face.
It was embarrassing, after all, they warned her in person without considering her face. Xie Jing wanted to let Shen Yaozhi know that if she went too far or got too carried away, there would be no good end.
After the lunch, Zhou Jiyun's face was terribly cold. On the way back to the bedroom, Zhou Jiyun said in a deep voice: "There is no need to inform Shen Yaozhi."
Xie Jing raised her eyebrows: "You and I are thinking the same thing. Now I feel like a fool."
Zhou Jiyun's brows relaxed slightly: "This shows that we are in tune with each other."
Xie Jing held Zhou Jiyun's arm and said, "I suddenly feel that it is rare for people to remain true to themselves after they gain power. Just like Shen Yaozhi, she couldn't wait to be proud before she got engaged to Zhou Jiwen."
"I used to think she was a girl who was cheated, so I felt sorry for her. But now, is she pitiful? It's not my turn to pity her. I am the most ridiculous person to pity her."
Zhou Jiyun corrected him, "It's not funny at all. You feel sorry for her because you have good intentions, but not everyone can do things properly. As you said, there are too few people who can keep their original intentions."
"I really admire this about you. You are always rational and clear-headed. You never judge others by their external halo. You always see the person, not other things."
Xie Jing was in a good mood: "It's still more comfortable to be with you. These people talk in a really... weird way."
"By the way, is it really okay for me not to accompany them for social events this afternoon?"
Zhou Jiyun said sarcastically: "What does it matter? The Shen family is Zhou Zhida's in-laws, not ours, so Zhou Zhida will naturally entertain them. Besides, can this marriage be successful..."
Xie Jing said softly: "Let's go back to the bedroom and talk about it. There are many people at home today."
Zhou Jiyun's journey back to the courtyard was very quiet, so naturally there was no incident of anyone eavesdropping on his ridiculous conversation. After all, today's matter was about the Second House, and it would not affect the First House.
After returning to the bedroom, Xie Jing didn't feel like taking a nap. Since she couldn't sleep, she logged into Lin Jing's account. After just a few glances at the messages, Xie Jing smiled: "My netizen sent me a message."
"Netizen? The arranger you've been working with? A'li?" Zhou Jiyun was lying next to Xie Jing with his eyes closed, and just asked softly when he heard this.
Xie Jing turned over while holding her phone: "Is this the advantage of being a reborn person? You really know a lot about me. Have you seen Ah Li?"
Zhou Jiyun shook his head: "I haven't seen it in person, but you once showed me your photo together."
Xie Jing was happy: "Really?"
She wanted to ask more, but Ah Li happened to be online at the moment, and when she saw her online, she immediately sent messages one after another. Xie Jing immediately turned over and said, "I won't talk to you anymore. Ah Li and I will chat for a while."
Zhou Jiyun shook his head slightly. Forget it. Xie Jing was a rare friend, so he would not bother her. A qualified husband would never stop his wife from making friends, nor would he feel lost because of being ignored by his wife, nor would he feel jealous.
Yes, he really is not jealous at all!
