Chapter 168 Cold Engagement Banquet
"It's not that easy. I'm about halfway through the Long March." Lu Shaoqing quickly complained.
Originally, he wanted to bring Lin Jiayu with him, but who knew that she actually said that they were not familiar enough to that extent. Lu Shaoqing had the heart to curse. How slow is this girl warm up?
When Song Yuhao heard this, he admired him very much, "You are at least half successful, and that thorny rose is hard to conquer."
"That's true." Although Lu Shaoqing complained, he had been quite fulfilling and interesting during this period.
"Next time to make an appointment to go out and have fun together. Qiao Niank will have to help me more, so girls can talk to each other."
He looked at Qiao Nian and said with a smile.
Qiao Nian was asked to speak, nodded quickly and said with a smile: "I'm quite curious about the lady's words when you said it."
"I tell you, it's a policeman." Song Yuhao came over to reveal the news.
Qiao Nian was very surprised and looked up at Xi Moting.
"Yes, it's the Taekwondo black belt." Xi Moting confirmed.
"Wow!" Qiao Nian exclaimed, not expecting that the girl Lu Shaoqing was pursuing was so unique.
Speaking of Taekwondo black belt, Lu Shaoqing remembered the embarrassing incident when he first met Lin Jiayu.
So he quickly changed the subject, "Will there be an engagement cake tonight?"
This question was too fast and no one could answer it.
"I don't know." Xi Moting answered the truth.
Li Peilan is fully responsible for this dinner, but depending on the situation, it shouldn't be there.
On the other hand, Xi Zhengming and his brother-in-law Xu Yanjun stood at the table and chatted. The two of them each brought a glass of champagne.
Li Peilan and Xi Meizhen sat on the other end of the table.
Xu Qingru jumped in the garden full of sunset, holding a camera to study various flowers and plants.
"Sister-in-law, this is not like an engagement banquet. It's worse than a family banquet. Why are there only so many people here?" Xi Meizhen and her sister-in-law were not seen, and they were very straightforward.
Li Peilan didn't look happy on her face. She has lost a lot of weight recently.
"How many more people do I need? I can sit here, it's already a shame for them." She smiled coldly.
Xi Meizhen knew that she still couldn't swallow this.
The old man forced them to agree to Xi Moting and Qiao Nian's marriage. After hearing this, she felt helpless for her brother and sister-in-law.
"But since I agree, I'd better want to be more open." Xi Meizhen comforted.
"It's probably difficult." Li Peilan said with a wry smile, "You have seen that I have so many sisters who play well on weekdays, but how dare I invite them? Do you want them to see my joke?"
In the past, so many people introduced Xi Moting to her, she refused arrogantly, but now she has found someone who has nothing to be her daughter-in-law. Isn’t this laughing at their big teeth?
Speaking of this, Xi Meizhen also has a deep understanding of it. She usually lives in such a circle of noble ladies. The people in it are actually very powerful and love to talk about other people's family affairs. Even if you are strong, they dare not talk about you in person, but behind the scenes, they are even more unpleasant. Her sister-in-law is such a proud and respectful person.
"And, this is what your elder brother means," Li Peilan said.
"What does my elder brother mean?" Xi Meizhen was surprised.
"Yes, didn't you see it? None of your elder brother's friends from the political and business circles usually came because he didn't invite him." Li Peilan said funny.
I guess he is embarrassed. Such a daughter-in-law who is incompetent, and she doesn't have a family member at her engagement banquet, which is really ridiculous.
Xi Meizhen shook her head, not knowing what to say.
She looked at Qiao Nian's direction again, and was determined to marry into a wealthy woman, but she didn't know how annoying and troublesome she was like.
It was almost six o'clock, and the sun had not yet completely set, and a whistle sounded outside the courtyard. Everyone looked over and a black car drove in and parked on the lawn.
The car door opened, and the people walking down were Xi Mochen and Lu Minzhi.
Lu Minzhi wore a water-blue long dress and walked towards her with Xi Mochen.
"Uncle, I'm late to deal with some things in the company." Xi Mochen first went to Xi Zhengming and said hello.
Xi Zhengming nodded and looked at the uninvited guest Lu Minzhi next to him.
"Hello, Uncle Xi." Lu Minzhi greeted him generously.
"By the way, I met Sister Minzhi in the company before. He heard that today was my brother's engagement banquet, so I wanted to come and have fun together," Xi Mochen explained.
Although Xi Zhengming has a lot of complaints about Lu Minzhi, he doesn't want to have a conflict with her on today's occasion.
Then he said, "The visitor is a guest, please feel free to you."
After hearing what he said, Lu Minzhi smiled on her face, and then looked around and her smile became stronger.
She and Xi Mochen walked towards Qiao Nian and the others.
"Brother, congratulations." Xi Mochen took a glass of champagne at the table and toasted Xi Moting. At the same time, he looked at Qiao Nian and smiled and said, "Hello, sister-in-law."
Qiao Nian was embarrassed by his claim, and raised his glass with Xi Moting to thank him.
Lu Minzhi followed him and walked to them, uttering two words lightly from her red lips: "Congratulations."
Her eyes wandered between Xi Moting and Qiao Nian, full of playfulness.
"Thank you." Xi Moting said expressionlessly.
"But today I felt so deserted, not like an engagement banquet at all." She took a sip of wine and said casually.
Lu Shaoqing glanced at her and handed her a warning look, but Lu Minzhi completely ignored it.
Just when everyone thought she was still talking nonstop, she raised her head and drank the champagne in the glass, then turned around and went to the table.
Lu Shaoqing felt relieved when he saw it.
At this time, two more cars drove in, one of which was Zong Yanlin, and the other was Xi Moting and several good friends from the municipal government.
Xi Moting and Song Yuhao and the others said they had lost their companionship, so they took Qiao Nian over to say hello.
Zong Yanlin is an old acquaintance, so after saying hello, he went to find Lu Shaoqing and the others by himself.
It was the first time that several friends from the municipal government came to Xi’s house. Xi Moting couldn’t help but treat her with all her heart. Even Xi Zhengming, who had been standing aside and had nothing to do with him, came over.
Xi Moting's friends have all had low positions, and as the head of the family, he cannot make people laugh at them.
Qiao Nian stood among them and felt the pressure clearly. The aura and conversation content emitted by these people were not on the same channel as her.
So after the basic greetings, she took the initiative to retreat.
