Chapter 7: Banquet

Let the stylist take care of it like a marionette. Ji Xuan looked at herself in the mirror in a trance.
The last time she was dressed so extravagantly, she seemed to marry Sheng Zeyan, but that time she was absent-minded the whole time and didn't have much impression at all.
This time, I have a deep understanding of what it means to rely on clothing. She looks like a real rich daughter when she dresses up like this.
Ji Xuan smiled bitterly and opened the door to walk out.
"It's quite suitable." Sheng Zeyan looked at Ji Xuan and gave such an evaluation.
Ji Xuan didn't care about Sheng Zeyan's evaluation, anyway, she didn't have the idea of ​​"women who are pleased with herself". Such a dress is just for the banquet.
I just have to say that Sheng Zeyan's vision is really good, she felt that way just looking in the mirror.
She is relatively petite, and a short skirt picked by Sheng Zeyan can show straight legs and looks slender. The short skirt is designed with a round neck and hollowed out. The waistband shows a small piece of skin. The bow ribbon on the waist hangs down, and the skirt is decorated with sequins.
On the whole, it doesn't look very conservative, and it doesn't show too much. It will only make people feel cute and cute, which matches Ji Xuan's temperament.
When Ji Xuan got in the car, she glanced at Sheng Zeyan subconsciously, wondering if he had such a good eye for picking dresses, and I wonder if he had picked too many dresses.
Reminiscing about the gossip that Lao Zhao said, she felt that there must be something between Sheng Zeyan and Liu Yuwei.
"If you want to see it, you can watch it openly, without being sneaky." Sheng Zeyan tilted his head and looked at Ji Xuan with a smile.
Ji Xuan's face was suddenly black. Even if he changed his outfit today, it was still not the same suit as usual. Although it was a little handsome, it wouldn't make her peek! She is not a girl with spring, how could she be confused by him?
"I don't look at you with a careless mind. I just want to say that this seems to be the first time we went to see them together after we got married. I don't know if they will find out." Ji Xuan couldn't help rolling her eyes, not looking at all when she spoke. Xiang Sheng Zeyan seemed to want to show that she didn't even bother to look at him.
"Find what?"
"Discovered us..." Ji Xuan was suddenly dumbfounded. She realized that she actually didn't know how to describe their current relationship.
"You don't have to think about anything, you don't have to do anything, you just do what you normally do." Seeing Ji Xuan's silence, Sheng Zeyan seemed to understand her meaning and said calmly.
Yes, anyway, he usually does a good job in front of her. When he arrives in front of the Ji family, he still has to worry about the problem?
Just thinking of the possible situation, Ji Xuan felt disgusted again.
Two people who don’t love form a family. Is this torture?
When the two arrived at the Ji family mansion, they were a little late, so that when they appeared together in the banquet hall, it caused some commotion.
"Is that Mr. Sheng of Shengshi? It seems to be Mr. Ji's son-in-law."
"Yeah, if you want me to say, President Ji is also a good blessing, climbing up to the prosperous age, isn't it because he is backed by a big tree to enjoy the cool?
The whispers of the surrounding people penetrated very clearly into her ears, and Ji Xuan bit her lip slightly and grasped Sheng Zeyan's arm tightly.
She felt a little dizzy as soon as she walked in, and she didn't know whether the chandelier above her head was too bright, or the scene of the fragrant temples was too dazzling. In short, Ji Xuan felt that she was not suitable for such an occasion.
Sheng Zeyan seemed to perceive her discomfort and patted her hand gently. The warm touch made Ji Xuan immediately want to withdraw her hand.
"Ze Yan, Xuan Xuan, you are here." A beautiful woman came in with money, and her lovely smile killed Ji Xuan's thoughts.
Following the beautiful woman was a slightly calm middle-aged man, who saw them and greeted them with a smile.
"Dad, mom." Sheng Zeyan stepped forward and called out, and then said: "Dad, I wish you good luck in the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan."
After he finished speaking, he asked Yan Ning behind him to present the gift box and apologized slightly: "I don't know your preference, but I just picked a tea set. I hope you can forgive me."
When Ji Zhenchuan saw the tea set, his eyes lit up, and he said with joy, "Is this the baby that was suppressed at the last Manulife auction?"
Sheng Zeyan didn't say much, and responded with a smile.
"You, it's so polite." Ji Zhenchuan caressed the gift box lovingly, repeatedly praised.
"You like it."
Ji Xuan watched Sheng Zeyan's decent smile on her face, and she couldn't help being speechless.
The Manulife auction is said to be a special auction for antiques. This set of pressing tea sets is also of good value. Sure enough, it confirms what Zhao said. Is the money burning too much?
"Brother Shan!" The voice of surprise went from far to near, and a Yanli woman appeared in front of her, bringing fragrant winds.
There was undisguised love in the woman's eyes, even Ji Xuan on the side could detect it.
Sheng Zeyan nodded slightly, showing neither closeness nor alienation.
"Linlin, why remember to say hello to her brother-in-law, forgetting that her sister is still there!" Lin Yaru groaned, seeming to be blaming Ji Zilin on the surface, but this is not very pleasant.
"Sister." Due to the scene, Ji Zilin shouted reluctantly.
Ji Xuan answered and didn't say anything. Anyway, no one would care about what she said, so it's better not to say anything. Before that, Sheng Zeyan also said that she can do what she usually does.
But Ji Zhenchuan got a baby, and he looked refreshed, not to mention how good he was. Before the start of the banquet, the guests who attended the banquet also mentioned this incident, which attracted the envy of the guests.
Ji Xuan looked at those false flattery, contemptuously from the bottom of her heart, didn't want to look more, and consciously stayed away from those people.
The banquet is in the form of self-help. Ji Zhenchuan said that he did not want to do it arbitrarily. He just gathered together with the help of this banquet to keep everything simple and how happy it is.
However, only he himself knew the truth. Anyway, Ji Xuan didn't hate this kind of form, and she didn't have to eat at the same table with them, she was happy and relaxed.
Ji Xuan sat in the corner enjoying the food. Not far away, Sheng Zeyan and Ji Zhenchuan greeted the guests with the guests, as if they were half hosts.
He seems to be so comfortable, he doesn't know what he thinks in his heart, will he dislike such occasions like her?
Ji Xuan was thinking about this possibility, and Sheng Zeyan didn't know when she would be in front of her.
"I have something to say to my dad, leave the meeting first, and come back soon."
Ji Xuan was a little surprised and felt that Sheng Zeyan didn't need to report to her specially, but since he wanted to look like a flounder outside, she would reluctantly cooperate.
She nodded obediently and watched Sheng Zeyan leave before continuing to deal with the food on the plate.
It turns out that if she is willing, she can also pretend to behave.
"It's envious that I have such a good relationship with Big Brother Shan. I don't know if others will know that all of this originally belonged to me."
