Chapter 617 - 617: So Many Handsome Guys
It was a little cramped for five people to have one car, especially since Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang were already 1.8 meters tall.
Therefore, Ji Yuanyuan got into Li Miao’s car and sat in the back seat. She could also help Li Miao look after Little Mumu.
He was already one year and eight months old and could already speak.
The entire time, he was chattering in a language that the adults could not understand.
Ji Yuanyuan pretended to understand and continued to talk to him.
Li Miao looked at the two of them in the back row and said with a smile, “He’s willing to talk now. Your uncle and I are almost annoyed to death by him. We couldn’t understand it and couldn’t hide.”
Ji Yuanyuan smiled and stuffed a small bun into Mumu’s mouth. She then took a tissue to wipe his saliva, “How is it annoying? He’s so cute.”
“If you think he’s cute, you can take care of him.” Li Miao joked.
After saying a few words, Li Miao changed the topic to the matter of splitting the family.
“I heard from your Second Aunt about what happened that day. Don’t take it to heart. Your idea was good, but no one expected this outcome.” Li Miao comforted her.
She was probably afraid that she would overthink.
Ji Yuanyuan’s heart felt warm, “I understand.”
“Actually, it’s good to split up. Now, only your grandparents think it’s good not to split up.”
If she were the daughter-in-law of the Li family, she would also want to leave the family.
After all, no one wished to be restricted.
Thinking of this, Li Miao sighed, “I’m just worried about your uncle. He’s not born to do business.”
Li Lei and Meng Xiaoning didn’t want to farm in their hometown, so they converted the greenhouses and farmhouses into money. They took the money and planned to move to the city.
The couple planned to open a shop. As for what shop to open, they had not discussed it yet.
“Speaking of which, when Eldest Aunt and Eldest Uncle were dating, Eldest Uncle said that he wanted to open a shop in the county to do business.” Ji Yuanyuan said in a fair manner.
After they got married, the couple stayed in their hometown to plant a greenhouse.
On the surface, Eldest Aunt was very supportive of Eldest Uncle’s idea, but she might be a little unhappy in her heart.
Li Miao thought about it, “Indeed.”
The reason why the Second Aunt did not have any objections was that she had lived a good life since she was young and was used to seeing the world. Instead, she liked the countryside.
However, Eldest Aunt had lived in the countryside since she was young and had followed her parents to do farm work.
It was understandable that she didn’t want to stay in the countryside.
“That’s true. I hope your uncle can be well. Don’t learn from others and invest in some messy things.”
If he did a small business, even if he couldn’t make money, he wouldn’t lose too much.
In the past few years, the family has made a lot of money by planting greenhouses.
Big Brother and Sister-in-law also bought a lot of property.
As long as he did not squander, his eldest brother and sister-in-law could live a comfortable life for the rest of their lives.
After returning to B City, Li Xu started discussing the engagement of the two children with Cheng Shuqin.
Cheng Shuqin wanted to make it big and let all her relatives and friends know that her son was engaged. Her whole family liked this future daughter-in-law very much.
However, Li Xu did not entirely agree.
She felt Ji Yuanyuan was still young and was still in school. If it was a big event, it might give her a lot of pressure.
Therefore, Li Xu meant that there should be a ceremony, but not too many people.
Book four or five tables and invite only the main relatives of both parties and the children’s friends.
Although Cheng Shuqin was a little disappointed, she still listened to Li Xu in the end.
They were different from Ji Yuanyuan’s family. Li Xu had just had a wedding, so they did not have much expectations for the engagement party.
However, their Qin family had not held a happy event for many years.
The last happy event was her father-in-law’s 60th birthday. It had been several years.
However, Cheng Shuqin quickly got over it.
It didn’t matter if the engagement banquet wasn’t grand. Anyway, her daughter-in-law would soon reach the age of marriage.
When the time came, the two of them would register their marriage and hold a wedding.
At that time, the wedding would definitely be a grand one.
On the day of the engagement Banquet, Li Lei and Li Yong brought Liu Guihua and Li Zhiming over.
Only the four of them came to the Li family. Qin Xiaomin and Meng Xiaoning had to stay at home to take care of the children.
On the Zhang family’s side, the brother and sister, Zhang Jun and Zhang Yao had brought the two elders over.
Li Miao and Gong Wenbai were in B City. Li Miao happened to have no class in the last period of the morning, so she could just come over.
The others were Yang Jingyi and her mother and Fang Xinyi and her mother.
There were also Ji Yuanyuan’s three roommates.
Including their family of five and Huang Weiwei, there were a total of twenty-four people.
Deng Juan and Hu Chunli followed Li Xu to B City.
Deng Juan’s family did not like to see her, and other than Fang Xinyi, she had no other relatives.
Naturally, it didn’t matter where she went.
Although renting a house in B City was more expensive, it was closer to his daughter.
As for Hu Chunli, her situation was similar to Deng Juan’s. However, she had the money to buy a two-bedroom apartment in B City.
As for Qin Mucheng’s relatives and friends numbered about twenty people, similar to Ji Yuanyuan’s.
In total, they could make five tables.
Before the banquet started, Qin Mucheng brought her to meet the guests.
Aunts, Uncles, Cousins…
They were all relatives that Ji Yuanyuan had never met before. They should not be very close to each other and she had never heard Qin Mucheng mention them before.
There were more than twenty strangers at once, so Ji Yuanyuan naturally could not recognize all of them.
She followed behind Qin Mucheng the entire time and greeted them politely with a fake smile.
Just as Qin Mucheng brought Ji Yuanyuan to identify the person, Cheng Shuqin brought a few men in suits and white gloves into the room.
The men were either carrying boxes or bags.
They quickly walked to the stage, and Cheng Shuqin instructed, “Just put them here, just like during the rehearsal.”
The men nodded at Cheng Shuqin in unison, “Yes, Madam Qin.”
Cheng Shuqin nodded her head in satisfaction and walked to Ji Yuanyuan’s side, “Mucheng brought you to meet our relatives, right? I was afraid you wouldn’t be able to recognize all of them, so I didn’t call too many people today. Don’t feel wronged. When the two of you get married, we’ll make it big.”
Cheng Shuqin felt that she had wronged Ji Yuanyuan, but Ji Yuanyuan felt that today’s scene was already high-profile enough.
“Auntie, you’ve already decorated it very well. It’s been hard on you.”
Cheng Shuqin took Ji Yuanyuan’s hand, “It’s still the daughter who is more sensible.”
Not far away, Gao Qionghui pulled on the corner of Lin Nan’s clothes. Looking at the busy people on the stage, she could not help but sigh, “Wow, those two boxes are full of money! How much money did such a big box contain? Can it reach a million?”
Lin Nan was also staring at the stage, but she was not staring at the money but at the men in suits who were putting money on the stage.
Each of these men was more handsome than the other.
“Where did Ji Yuanyuan’s mother-in-law find so many handsome guys?”
