Chapter 129 Engagement Banquet
Now that things have happened, everyone can see what kind of medicine the old lady is selling in her gourd.
She doesn’t want to lose the thread of the Tang family, and she won’t lose it.
Either the third child or Ji Lan, one of them should be pushed out.
I thought Ji Lan was easy to control when living under someone else’s roof, but she never thought that she would go against her will and do something that no one in the room would dare to do.
“Do you know what it means to refute the guest’s face in public?”
Ji Lan shook off Deng Yi’s hand and sneered coldly: “It means you can’t sell me. "
"You" Deng Yi choked up in anger: "Ji Lan, the Ji family can make you live or die. Your media company has no need to exist as long as we don't want it. "
"Be sensible," Deng Yiyi threatened her pointedly: "Today, the Tang family, you will succeed or fail."
"Have you forgotten? ? I am not your daughter. Even if I really get involved with Tang Yue, I will not do anything that is beneficial to the Ji family."
If you send her out to be used as a chess piece, you have to be obedient. "Jilan, you can't make decisions about the Tang family."
Deng Yi pushed Ji Lan out of the dining room, and when he turned around, his face changed again.
Tang family, banquet family, Ji family, this kind of scene is no different from the meeting of in-laws.
The old lady just wanted to create a cooperative and shared scene.
Give the Yan family and Tang family a reassurance.
Ignoring Yanzhuang's thoughts about her can also keep Rourou's face for a long time.
But I never thought that Ji Lan was very disrespectful.
"Miss Ji's Lanying Media is famous in the industry," Mr. Tang seemed to be very satisfied with her. When he saw her sitting down, his eyes never left her.
Ji Lan said out of politeness: "It's just good luck. A small fight made Mr. Tang laugh."
Hearing this, the old man waved his hand: "The era of traditional paper media is about to pass. In the future, Your industry has a bright future. You are lucky to be able to stand out among so many startups, but your strength should not be underestimated.”
It was not a good idea to praise her in front of everyone at this time. Ji Lan knew it and had no intention of continuing. However, the old lady saw that Mr. Tang was interested and praised her in a rare way. She treated her as her own in her words. Like a granddaughter.
He even said: "Among the juniors of the Ji family, Ji Lan is the most prosperous."
This sentence made most people present feel a little gloomy.
The Yan family looked unhappy.
Ji Lan is the most prosperous, so what does it mean if they change their marriage partner from Ji Lan to Ji Rourou?
To give way to the Tang family?
In the living room, silent smoke was everywhere.
Ji Lan lowered his head and picked up the teacup to cover the coldness in the corners of his mouth.
When she leaned over to put the tea cup, Ji Rourou beside her seemed to reach out her hand unintentionally and bumped into her.
Ji Lan simply complied with Ji Rourou's wishes. He loosened his wrist and the teacup fell on the hem of her skirt, soaking a large area of her white skirt.
When Shu Wen saw this, he wanted to wipe her with a towel at first, but when he realized that he couldn't wipe it clean, he said, "Did Miss Lan bring spare clothes?"
"No," Ji Lan responded.
The old lady was smart. After what happened just now, she was always on guard against Ji Lan: "Send someone down the mountain to get it, Rourou."
Leave Ji Lan behind and send him away. Leaving Ji Rourou, how can this method be said to be bad?
Ji Lan had just raised her butt a little and slowly lowered it down. Only Ji Rourou cast her aggrieved eyes on Deng Yi's face, and the latter gave her a look not to cause trouble.
On this occasion, the old lady spoke up, who could save her?
In the golden autumn of September, the scenery in the Ji family manor is beautiful. It rained last night, and the golden osmanthus was watered, and a faint fragrance floated. In the dining room, the servants were busy serving meals.
In the living room, when the gossip led by the old lady stopped, when Ji Rourou came up with the skirt and handed it to Ji Lan, she wanted to call Ji Xian for help while she was changing clothes. On such an occasion today, everyone gathered together, but he was not there, which clearly meant that the old lady did not want him to be there.
“The housekeeper is going to watch me change my clothes?”
Ji Lan took the clothes and entered the bathroom on the first floor. Shu Wen followed closely and seemed to have no intention of going out.
Be on guard against her.
"Miss Lan, please change quickly, the dinner is about to start."
"Does Housekeeper Shu have a daughter? What would it be like if one of our girls was forced to marry? "Ji Lan saw that this man refused to accept soft words, so he started to play the tenderness card.
However, Shu Wen has been following the old lady for too long.
Knowing the rules of staying in the deep courtyard, she chose to remain silent when faced with Ji Lan's tenderness card.
After changing clothes, everyone went to the restaurant one after another.
When Tang Yue saw Ji Lan coming out of the bathroom, he greeted her like a gentleman.
Ji Lan stepped slightly sideways to distance himself from him.
"Miss Ji, is there someone you want to belong to?"
"Yes," Ji Lan nodded in response: "It has to be him."
"Even if the other person is a pauper."
Ji Lan glanced at him sideways, withdrew her gaze lightly, and said with Sanmao The words blocked his inquiry: "If I don't love him, I won't marry him even if he is a millionaire. If I love him, I will marry him even if he is a millionaire."
" Miss Ji should know that for a family like ours, choice is delusional." Everyone took their seats one after another, and Ji Lan's position was arranged opposite Tang Yue and diagonally opposite the banquet hall.
Everyone came with a purpose, and naturally knew what to say to achieve what they wanted. Everyone at this table wanted to push Ji Lan out so that their dreams could come true.
Once the Ji family and the Tang family reach a marriage relationship, Ji Mingda and Ji Hongyi will be the most direct beneficiaries. As for the banquet family, drinking some soup is not worth mentioning, but it can bring Ji Lan, the "former fiancee" "Throw it out.
This can be considered as a solution to their worries.
Yanzhuang's affection for her can still be suppressed by the interests of the family. If it is not protected, there will be a day when it cannot be suppressed.
Ji Lan has no way to escape today
A dozen high-ranking dignitaries have woven a net just to trap her.
"When will it end?"
"Are you in a hurry?" In the office, there were many people including photographers and hosts.
Ji Mingzong’s financial interview was about halfway through. Yan Hui answered the phone and came in, scurrying around like an ant on a hot pot.
"I'm not in a hurry, but Miss Ji is!"
"What happened?" Zhang Ying stood up from his chair and looked at him with a frown.
"Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, Mrs. Ji set up a banquet at home to entertain the Tang family. It was said to be a banquet but in fact it was a marriage engagement banquet," Yan Hui said, taking out the newspaper from his trouser pocket, shaking it open and handing it to Zhang Ying : "Look, the news is out."
The big words "Betrothal banquet between the Ji family in Beijing and Hong Kong and the Tang family in Nancheng" came into view.
Didn’t Ji Lan and Ji Dong have an affair?
Is this engagement news out yet?
"Miss Ji agreed?"
"Will Mrs. Ji let her go if she doesn't agree?" Yan Hui said impatiently: "You haven't answered me yet when it will end."
"This old Qian woman is so damn cruel, she calculated first. Mr. Ji is plotting against Miss Ji again, and is he trying to catch these two people out of pocket?”
