"Why are you looking at this?"

Gu Qian glanced at Jin Lanting and asked knowingly.

Of course he knew what the other party wanted to ask.

She just wanted to see if Xiao Chuchu's name was on the invitation list, and wondered if Xiao Chuchu would return to China to attend the engagement banquet between Jiang Li and herself if she sent an invitation letter.

"Just take a look..."

"No."

Gu Qian continued to shake his head in refusal and asked: "Why are you so concerned about my engagement party invitation list?"

"I……"

"He wants to see if his ex-girlfriend is on the invitation list, right?" A somewhat squeamish voice sounded.

Qi Ying was concentrating on playing the game, but while scolding her teammates on the mic, she suddenly said this.

The atmosphere in the courtyard became inexplicably awkward.

Jin Lanting couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Gu Qian looked at Jin Lanting with a half-smile, and said in a casual tone: "Jiang Li decided on the list of invitees. She has the final say whether to invite Teacher Xiao or not. I can't make the decision."

Jin Lanting: "..."

Finished.

Gu Qian glanced at Qi Ying who was playing the game, and said with some confusion: "Do you know about Jin Lanting?"

In his impression, the eldest lady of the Qi family should also be one of Jin Lanting's blind dates.

But if he knew about Jin Lanting and Xiao Chuchu, it would be impossible for the other party to have any entanglements with Jin Lanting anymore, let alone come to the Jin family's mansion as a guest.

"I know, my eldest cousin told me."

Qi Ying's tone was casual, and Jiang Mingyi was completely betrayed by opening her mouth.

"Jiang Mingyi?"

"Um."

"My eldest cousin said that Jin Lanting is not a good person and told me not to marry him." Qi Ying said without any scruples while playing games.

Jin Lanting: "..."

Gu Qian nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask: "Then you know that this is a scumbag, and you still come to the Jin family's residence as a guest?"

"Aunt Han invited me here. I'm just here to have a meal. It has nothing to do with him."

Qi Ying curled her lips.

Jiang Mingxuan glanced at Jin Lanting with some embarrassment and smoothed things over: "Brother Jin, this is how my cousin talks. Please understand..."

Jin Lanting: "..."

In the yard.

The atmosphere became awkward again.

Gu Qian said nothing more and sat quietly on the chair reading the messages on his phone.

Now as the heir of the Gu family, he needs to know and handle many family matters.

Jin Lanting continued to look at the financial statements seriously.

Compared with Jiang Mingxuan and Qi Ying playing games leisurely, these two heirs of the family are obviously much busier.

——

Not long after.

One after another delicious dishes were brought out from the kitchen.

Tonight, Han Wenru was still in charge, while Jiang Li was on the side. The more she looked at this girl, the more she liked her.

Jin Shenhan was sitting in his seat with a rare expression on his face.

There is no communication between father and son anymore, but there is no longer the intense conflict that is visible to the naked eye.

"Come on, you're welcome for the family dinner. Let's try auntie's cooking."

Han Wenru looked at the juniors with a gentle smile.

"good!"

Qi Ying moved her chopsticks directly, put a piece of meat into her mouth, and praised while eating: "Aunt Han, your cooking skills are much better than my parents."

"Don't say that..."

"Really, even the dogs won't eat the food they cook."

"..."

Everyone was ashamed.

There was a little girl on the dining table who spoke freely, and the atmosphere became lively for a while, but everyone felt a little uncomfortable.

Jin Shenhan did not mention Jin Lanting's marriage issue again.

Han Wenru, on the other hand, was serving food to Gu Qian, Jiang Li and Qi Ying with a smile on her face, her smile was particularly kind.

Jin Lanting ate quietly, and suddenly said: "I've almost finished reading the financial statements in the afternoon. I'll go to the company in two days to take a look around."

No one answered.

Jin Shenhan said nothing.

But this seemed to be the best state he was in when facing his son. Normally, whenever Jin Lanting said something, he would scold him.

Han Wenru nodded slightly, with a slight disappointment on his face.

She invited Qi Ying to her home for dinner today because she actually wanted to bring her son and this girl together.

But Jin Lanting is better.

He usually looks like a playboy, but now he suddenly gets serious and starts working...

Han Wenru even suspected that her son was deliberately going against her.

——

——

at the same time.

In the "Jingyuan" villa area.

Qi Wenjun and Jiang Fu were sitting at the dining table, looking at the food on the table and taking a few hasty bites.

The meals are sumptuous.

But neither of them had much appetite.

Jiang Mingyi said helplessly: "Dad, Mom, it's not that big of a deal. It's so painful to have dinner with me."

Jiang Fu: "..."

Qi Wenjun: "..."

The two of them really had no appetite.

The main reason was that Jiang Li didn't come either, so a large table of food suddenly felt like it was wasted.

"Gu Qian, that brat, doesn't know where he took Ming Shu, and he doesn't know where he's coming back for dinner at this time."

Qi Wenjun said rather dissatisfied.

Jiang Fu took a deep breath and already had a guess in his mind: "Where else can we go? It's definitely not the Gu family's old house. It's probably to the Jin family."

Jiang Mingyi nodded slightly: "I asked, Mingxuan also had dinner at Jin's house."

"This brat doesn't go home on New Year's Day and goes to other people's houses to get food. If he comes back, I won't break his legs!"

Qi Wenjun said angrily.

Her mother's parenting style is very unique, and she has no psychological burden for beating her own son.

This seems to be a consistent family tradition of the Qi family.

He dotes on his daughter in every possible way.

As long as he can't beat his son to death, he will beat him to death.

"Actually, I think they will be back later. How about we have supper together in the evening?" Jiang Mingyi tentatively suggested.

He has already seen it.

Jiang Li was not here, and his parents looked at him without any appetite.

"I think it's okay."

"Then let's take the food away first. I'm not hungry anyway. We can eat together when Mingshu comes back in the evening."
