The Xie family didn’t expect Old Madam Jiang to be so eager to talk about the marriage. At this moment, it was really hard for Old Master Xie to answer. Moreover, Old Madam Jiang had always been more domineering. Whether it was in the Jiang family or the Xie family, it was always a matter of opinion. If it was in the past, the Xie family would definitely listen to her. Moreover, they would think that this was an excellent marriage.
But now, the Xie family had long wanted to get off the ship. Why would they still rush to board the ship?
Old Master Xie glanced at his eldest son beside him. Xie Cenzhou naturally knew how overbearing this old lady of the Jiang family was. He smiled and said to Old Madam Jiang,”Old Madam really knows how to joke. With such outstanding literature and art, how can our Xiao Di be worthy of him? There are so many old friends here today. Old sister, let’s go over and have a seat. If there’s anything, we can talk about it later. What do you think?”
Old Master Xie did not want to shed all pretenses with the old lady. Since he had already said so, if the old lady was smart, she would naturally treat it as a joke. It would be fine if everyone laughed and laughed.
Of course, Old Madam Jiang was not someone who could give up just like that. She had originally come today for this marriage. However, she had already made her plans, but Qiu Shaowei did not want her to have her way. Of course… Qiu Shaowei also knew that the Xie family had no intention of relying on the Jiang family. Now that Old Madam Jiang was so eager to do so, she had fallen behind.
“Mother, Old Master is right. There are so many old friends today, and so many people are looking at us. Why don’t we go catch up first?”
Qiu Shaowei poked Jiang Haoting at the side. This Jiang Haoting was not a fool. As soon as the Xie family opened their mouth, he sensed something was wrong. Fortunately, Qiu Shaowei opened her mouth, moreover, Elder Xie’s words could be considered as telling everyone that it was just a joke.
“Mother, that’s right. There are so many uncles here today. I haven’t seen them in many days. Uncle Xie, when are we going to eat? I’m hungry.”
This could be considered as the entertainment for relatives. Elder Xie naturally had to give face. Not only did he give face, but he also knew that the Jiang family had understood what he meant. They wanted to save some face.
“Right away, right away. Nephew, thank you for your hard work. Let the banquet begin immediately.”
Old Madam Jiang knew that something had changed when the wife spoke. Naturally, she took the opportunity to get off the donkey. For a moment, everyone thought that the two families were joking.
On the other hand, Jiang Wenyi didn’t know why but he heaved a sigh of relief. He had already seen Xie Di just now. Although her looks were good, he really didn’t like her personality. He felt that she lacked some spirituality and was too rigid.
Xie Di didn’t expect the Jiang family to be so impatient. Fortunately, they had only played a few tricks and temporarily stopped. However, it was hard to say whether they would mention it later.
“This Old Madam Jiang is really funny. Does she really think that she is the empress dowager? She said such a thing as soon as she came here. The Xie family probably hates her to death already.”
Huang Yueyan whispered in Shen Xiaoxiao’s ear. Shen Xiaoxiao had the same feeling. However, they were also here to watch a good show, so they wouldn’t care about what the other person said.
“Who cares? The Xie family is very smart. They definitely won’t agree. Also, don’t blame me for not reminding you. Xie Di seems to be very interested in your Ai Wei.”
“Interested? Ai Wei? How do you know?”
“I saw it just now. Not only is Xie Di very ambitious, she is also very strict. To be able to take the initiative to find someone to talk to, it must be because this person is of great help to her appetite. You must know that Ai Wei is of no use to the Xie family. For someone who is useless to make Xie Di do this, isn’t this the only purpose?”
“Ai Wei doesn’t like her.”
“You’re so confident.”
“It’s not confidence, but hehehe. You don’t know, right? Xie Di and the young master of the second son of the Kong family have already reached the stage where they’re talking about marriage.”
“Oh? In other words, Xie Di only treats Ai Wei like that? Only treats him as a celebrity?”
“Exactly. So, do you think Ai Wei is stupid? Of course, he knows to stay as far away from this woman as possible.”
Shen Xiaoxiao did not expect this to happen. However, Ai Wei’s looks were even more attractive than Yan Kuan’s. There was nothing she could do. Ai Wei was not as cold as Yan Kuan, so naturally, he was more likable.
“Let’s not talk about Ai Wei. Look at that Jiang Wenyi. He’s actually looking at you again. Does he really like you?”
Shen Xiaoxiao did not even raise her head and said to Huang Yueyan,”Don’t bother. Let’s go. The banquet is about to start. Moreover, there’s still a big show that hasn’t started yet. Let’s hurry up and eat something to take the bottom spot.”
Hearing Shen Xiaoxiao’s words, Huang Yueyan smiled. She reckoned that only Xiaoxiao was so big-hearted.
“But I’m really curious. Who exactly is the target of the Jiang family’s attack? It has already been so far, and they still haven’t revealed the slightest bit. It’s hard to figure out. It seems that the Jiang family is spending a lot this time.”
“Don’t be anxious. It’s just a few people here.”
“Sometimes, this politics is even more shocking than the ancient harem fights. It’s indescribably terrifying.”
“Alright, I know that the palace fights are going to start soon, and you also participated in the screenwriting. You don’t have to put in so much effort, President Huang!”
Huang Yueyan smiled and then said,”Of course. Compared to my brain circuits, writing these battle scripts is just a matter of minutes.”
“Alright, let’s go. Everyone, take your seats.”
Yan Kuan saw that Xiaoxiao and the others had already prepared their seats when they came over. However, he didn’t know how this Jiang Shuixian arranged it today. As expected, she was so stupid that she arranged Yan Kuan and Shen Xiaoxiao’s seats in the fourth row. They sat together with a group of small merchants. The important seats in the first row didn’t have them.
On the other hand, Huang Yueyan and Ai Wei were sitting in the first row. This arrangement was really laughable.
“Is this a slap in the face? Why don’t we just leave? Who’s going to suffer?”
Yan Kuan naturally knew that this was a show of strength. However, he didn’t expect the Xie family to make such an arrangement. They didn’t expect that, to them, Yan Kuan and Shen Xiaoxiao being able to come to the Xie family was already giving the Xie family face, yet they were still being looked at like this. Did they really think that they didn’t have a temper?
The Xie family, well done.
Yan Kuan and Shen Xiaoxiao naturally turned around and left. Jiang Shuixian looked at Yan Kuan and the others standing awkwardly at the side. She laughed mockingly, wanting them to make a fool of themselves. A businessman, no matter how powerful their connections were… This was the Xie family’s banquet.
She was the matriarch of the Xie family. Even if she wanted to invite them, she couldn’t refuse. However, she would never allow these two to be together with them. Moreover, Shen Xiaoxiao had actually treated her like that last time… It would be strange if she didn’t vent her anger. If she had the ability, she wouldn’t have come here to try and pull some connections with the Xie family. Hmph!
However, when Huang Yueyan saw this scene, she naturally had to support her good friend and business partner. She directly stood up from her seat and dragged Ai Wei away.
Good heavens, now that everyone saw it, Xie Cenzhou hurriedly walked over…
