Rebirth: Don’t be a coward and be a mother’s baby

"Aunt Yang, who is that?"

After Mr. Zhao came out, there were many people around them, but a man in simple clothes with slightly white temples stood not far away, turning sideways and talking to a woman in her fifties next to her. The person's makeup is very light, with only some eyebrows trimmed, and a thin layer of pink on the lips. If the expression and movements are slightly louder, the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes will appear. She is not young.

Compared with the other people in the entire banquet hall who were exquisitely dressed and gorgeously dressed, these two people were simple and out of place.

They don't look like guests coming to a banquet, but like an old couple coming to enjoy the pastoral scenery on vacation.

Yang Xi followed Xie Jianjia's gaze and looked over.

"Them?"

Yang Xi thought for a while, and it seemed that she was not very familiar with the two of them, and her mind was searching for memories about the two of them.

"They are from the Jiang family, Jiang Kun and his wife Wang Junru. I heard from my father that they, an old couple, don't dress up no matter what the occasion, they just do as they please."

These two people turned out to be Jiang Kun and Wang Junru.

It is not surprising to invite the Jiang family to the Zhao family's heir's birthday. Although Zhao Shaofeng is dead, Jiang Meixia is still the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, and the two families are still related by marriage.

Xie Jianjia looked steadily at Wang Junru who was talking to her husband. The woman was not beautiful in appearance, but she had a full forehead and a smooth face. She looked like a rich man, which weakened the sharp look of her single eyelids. When she was young, The appearance should belong to the pretty one.

But when she looked at Wang Junru, she always felt that he looked very familiar, not just familiar.

Wang Junru seemed to notice that someone was looking at her, but she didn't pay attention to the secret gaze. There were many people looking at her in the entire banquet hall. She had long been accustomed to other people's inquiries, so she just stood up straight and adjusted her body. deportment.

Xie Jianjia looked away, fearing to offend someone.

"I have to say that Jiang Meixia looks so much like her mother, especially those eyes, they are carved from the same mold."

Hearing this, Xie Jianjia compared the two people's looks in her mind and found that they looked very similar.

I don’t know what the Zhao family said. The crowd dispersed and Xie Jianjia saw the Zhao family in the center of the crowd.

In the middle are Mr. Zhao and Zhao Shaocheng, on the left are Mrs. Zhao, Zhao Wanhua, Jiang Meixia, and on the right are Qiao Yun and Zhao Qingbai.

The death of Zhao Shaofeng was a big blow to Jiang Meixia. She usually wore heavy makeup and covered herself with gold and precious jewelry. Today she only wore a white cheongsam, and there was not much makeup on her face. The redness in her eyes was very obvious. , Mrs. Zhao held her granddaughter's hand tightly, obviously trying to force a smile.

In comparison, Mr. Zhao and Zhao Shaocheng were much calmer and could toast to the guests on the side with their wine glasses.

Sure enough, as Xie Jianjia expected, Mr. Zhao had several announcements at this banquet.

The first is to appoint grandson Zhao Qingbai as vice president of the group. The second is to announce the marriage between the granddaughter and Fang Shuyang, the third son of the Fang family. They will get engaged directly when Zhao Wanhua turns 18 in October. She will get the marriage certificate when she reaches the legal age after graduating from college. The third is to appoint Zhao Wanhua as a member of the board of directors of the group. After graduation, he will directly enter the company to assist Zhao Qingbai. The brother and sister will manage the company together.

Xie Jianjia could clearly see the displeasure on Qiao Yun's face, as well as the identical shock on Zhao Wanhua's and Jiang Meixia's faces. Zhao Wanhua was excited and shocked, while Jiang Meixia was confused and shocked.

It seems that Mr. Zhao did not disclose Zhao Wanhua's entry into the company to his two daughters-in-law and granddaughter.

Sure enough, as soon as the third news came out, many people at the scene started talking about it.

Everyone can guess the first two things.

The eldest and youngest of the Zhao family are gone, and the two families have no offspring. Only Zhao Shaocheng has a son and a daughter. The Zhao family's property cannot be given to anyone else except them. Zhao Wanhua and Fang Shuyang's marriage was decided when Qiao Yun was pregnant. If she gave birth to a daughter, she would directly marry the three boys of the Fang family. The two grew up together as childhood sweethearts. The two families had agreed to wait until the two children became adults. During the ceremony, every family in Linhai knew very well about the marriage. But no one expected this third thing, and when they calmed down and thought about it carefully, they felt it was excusable.

The Zhao family, which was originally prosperous, now has only one male son, Zhao Qingbai, left among the three generations, and men and women no longer care. If the Zhao family does not want to completely decline, the most important thing is to put all the family members into the company.

When Xie Jianjia heard the news, she felt happy for Zhao Wanhua. The little girl had danced according to the instructions of her mother and aunt for so many years in the past eighteen years. When she grew up, she realized that she didn't like it very much. In order not to make her elders sad, she forced herself to dance. Keep jumping. Nowadays, it’s too late to be happy that I can manage the family business legitimately.

Sure enough, Zhao Wanhua looked in the direction of Xie Jianjia from a distance, and after meeting her gaze, he winked at her playfully.

Xie Jianjia smiled back.

Just after he finished laughing, a disgusted gaze pierced Xie Jianjia like a knife. The owner of the gaze was none other than Zhao Wanhua's aunt--Jiang Meixia.

The smile on Xie Jianjia's face froze, and in the end she didn't say anything, ignored her, and continued to chat with Su Yaoyao with her head lowered.

Yang Xi's attention was all on Xie Jianjia, and naturally he saw Jiang Meixia's disgusted eyes, and asked in confusion: "Why is Jiang Meixia looking at you like that?"

Xie Jianjia looked thoughtful, her face full of innocence.

"She looks down on me for coming from a small place like Yunlu City. She thinks that my association with Wanhua is because of Wanhua's status and has some agenda. She used to secretly use Wanhua's mobile phone to call me to ask me to leave. Wanhua stayed away, her speech was very rude, thinking she was Wanhua's biological aunt. I was friends with Wanhua, not her family, so I didn't tell Wanhua about it, but Jiang Meixia always Every time he saw me, he showed a sense of hostility."

It turned out to be the case.

Jiang Meixia's snobbery is well-known in the Linhai family circle. Many people care about their status and will not associate with people of lower status than themselves. However, everyone can put on a show and will not show their dislike or impatience on their faces. , but Jiang Meixiahui, she has repeatedly relied on her status as the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family and the daughter of the Jiang family to point fingers at others and look down upon them.

Everyone looked down upon her, and because of her status, they had to communicate with her.

"She loves her niece. It's obvious to everyone. Her personality has been like this for so many years and she can't change it. She should be like her biological father. Jiang Kun and Wang Junru are not people who write their emotions on their faces, except for people like her. Dear father, there is no one else."

As she spoke, she shook her head. Yang Xi didn't have a good impression of her.

Like her biological father
Xie Jianjia was suddenly curious about what kind of person Jiang Meixia's biological father was and what charm Wang Junru had. This made Jiang Kun, who had already mastered all the assets of the Lu family, not only accept her who was older than him, but also accept her and her ex-husband. Daughter, you must know that with Jiang Kun's status, it is not difficult to marry a young and beautiful new wife.
