chapter 51

Even if Ji Xuewei was angry with Qin Zheng, she should keep a happy mood today. After all, her engagement banquet would be held today. She should not only be happy, but also let everyone see that she was really happy.

It was worth mentioning that Ji Xuewei’s complexion looked really good today. Her beautiful appearance without heavy makeup was like a flower blooming in spring. She and Qin Zheng were really a perfect match. Qin Zheng tended to be gentle in appearance, and Ji Xuewei was slightly delicate, so they seemed to be a heavenly-made couple.

However, Ji Xiaoli standing in a corner knew that Ji Xuewei was a particularly cunning woman, ‘It’s really unfortunate for Qin Zheng to marry such a woman.’

“What are you thinking? You’re in a daze.”

Ji Xiaoli shook her head, “I’m not thinking about anything. It’s just that I used to think that my relationship with Ji Xuewei would change at least after I got married. And I didn’t expect that when we got married respectively, we really became a family again.”

It was just that their relationship was a total mess when they got married respectively, and Ji Xiaoli became Ji Xuewei’s aunt. They would be embarrassed to call each other. But in any case, these were not the main problems.

“If you don’t want to be her family again, you can choose to ignore her. We are not living with them. You two can have your own lives without any intersection.”

After Qin Zhenyang finished speaking, he looked up at the newlywed coldly. Coincidentally, Qin Zheng was also looking in the direction of him and Ji Xiaoli. He squinted and sneered at Qin Zheng.

‘Although you’re already engaged, you’re still coveting my wife. I won’t allow you to do that.’ After the engagement banquet was over, Qin Zhenyang planned to have a talk with Qin Zheng and warned him not to covet other people’s wives, especially his aunt-in-law Ji Xiaoli.

After receiving the warning message of his third uncle Qin Zhenyang, Qin Zheng turned his head and looked elsewhere. At the beginning, he slept with Ji Xuewei because of his sexual impulse. Because Ji Xuewei was more open in sex than Ji Xiaoli, he slept with Ji Xuewei many times secretly. But when he really broke up with Ji Xiaoli, he felt deeply regretful.

In fact, the woman he really cared about was Ji Xiaoli. But he knew that he could not make up with Ji Xiaoli because she had been married with his third uncle Qin Zhenyang. He could only accept the reality.

Although Ji Xuewei looked very gentle, but her vicious means made Qin Zheng feel afraid. Qin Zheng hated Ji Xuewei, but he insisted on holding the engagement ceremony because Ji Xuewei was pregnant.

Ji Xuewei guessed Qin Zheng’s thoughts at that time, and she couldn’t help sneering in her mind, ‘Now that the engagement ceremony has been held, it is too late for him to regret. What’s more, Ji Xiaoli already has a husband. It is impossible for him to make up with her now.’

When seeing Qin Zhenyang always accompany Ji Xiaoli, Ji Xuewei had to admit that she was deeply jealous of Ji Xiaoli, ‘Both men love her very much and care about her. I am better than her in every aspect. Why are the two men so partial to her?’ There was a little bit strange expression in her eyes, ‘No matter who Qin Zheng cares more about, the woman who laughs last is the real winner.’

Ji Xiaoli found that all the men who came to attend the engagement banquet got together, while the women gathered together to talk, ‘Is it a bit inappropriate for me to let Qin Zhenyang accompany me?’ “You can go to chat with these male guests. I’m fine on my own. It seems that I saw Xiaoguang just now, and I am just going to talk to her for a while.”

Qin Zhenyang was a little worried about Ji Xiaoli, but at that time, Qin Weiliang sent someone to take a message to Qin Zhenyang, saying that the old master was waiting for his son Qin Zhengyang in his study.

Ji Xiaoli couldn’t guess what the old master wanted to talk to him about, but she was more or less uncertain and uneasy. At that time, Qi Xiaoguang came to her.

“I thought you would not come today. You didn’t see Ji Xuewei’s complacent expression just now. She really dares to show off her boyfriend she stole from you. She is so shameless.” Qi Xiaoguang was one of the few people who knew the truth. So she was very disgusted with Ji Xuewei’s behavior.

Ji Xiaoli smiled, “I’m sure to come to the engagement banquet. After all, Qin Zhenyang and I have registered to get married. Whether the Qin family recognizes me or not, this fact will be changed.”

“The so-called rich and powerful family is so troublesome. In the next life, we’d better choose to be men and let these men be women. There are too many troubles for women.” Since ancient times, people had blamed women for men’s failure.

Ji Xiaoli shrugged, “If that’s the case, I’m really curious about Weixing’s appearance after becoming a woman.”

Qi Xiaoguang gave Ji Xiaoli a light punch secretly and blinked, “Stop messing around. In fact, I arrived a little earlier than you. My mother-in-law has also come to the engagement banquet, who is talking with these old ladies. I was tired of what they were talking about, so I took the opportunity to sneak away and find you. Everyone is curious about the woman around Qin Zhenyang. You have to be careful.”

“They can’t skin me alive, can they?” Ji Xiaoli joked. Of course, she knew that some people looked at her curiously, but she didn’t expect that she would arouse people’s great curiosity.

Qi Xiaoguang said with a smile, “You don’t know the specific situation. Just now I heard those people talk about your husband, who was never close to women before. Previously, a woman took off her clothes and ran to your husband’s room. Even in winter, she was thrown out of the room by your husband. It was quite sensational news at that time. Otherwise, why are those people surprised that Qin Zhenyang has a female companion?”

“So they think my husband is actually a gay?”

Qi Xiaoguang was just about to joke with Ji Xiaoli, but saw someone coming from the other side. She couldn’t help patting Ji Xiaoli with her hand, whispering, “I guessed that some people would come here to provoke you. Now, those people have come.”

The people who came to them were Zhang Xiu’e and Ji Xuewei.

To be honest, it was rare that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was so harmonious. Just now, Zhang Xiu’e praised her daughter-in-law for being virtuous and capable in front of a large number of ladies, which made Ji Xuewei very happy. She kept silent about the absurdity of her son, which showed that she was very considerate of her daughter-in-law’s feelings.

Her attitude also indirectly determined the attitude of these ladies to Ji Xuewei. A daughter-in-law who could please her mother-in-law was naturally an excellent woman. Looking at Ji Xuewei’s easygoing attitude, the ladies were willing to exchange a few words with her.

In fact, Zhang Xiu’e felt that her daughter-in-law was just ordinary. But she still recognized Ji Xuewei because Ji Xuewei was easy-going and they had common enemies. Zhang Xiu’e disliked Ji Xiaoli, though not as much as Ji Xuewei did. So she was very glad that her son married Ji Xuewei instead of Ji Xiaoli. To her delight, her son said Ji Xuewei was pregnant.

Ji Xuewei’s pregnancy was the most joyous event for Zhang Xiu’e.

“Sister, I’m really glad you can come to my engagement ceremony. Qin Zheng asked me about you just now.” Ji Xuewei said, while showing a slightly sad expression, who seemed to be greatly aggrieved.

Ji Xiaoli kept silent. She wanted to find out what Ji Xuewei wanted to do first.

However, after listening to Ji Xuewei’s words, Zhang Xiu’e was surprised, ‘My son is now engaged, why is he still thinking about this woman? Is there anything else they’re hiding from me? Unfortunately, this woman is Qin Zhenyang’s wife.’

“Although the Qin family has not accepted you as a member of them, you are already with Qin Zhenyang. So you should abide by women’s morality. Qin Zheng is already engaged to Xuewei. And Xuewei is your sister. Out of respect for the Ji family, you should not covet your brother-in-law.” Zhang Xiu’e said without any politeness.

Qi Xiaoguang wanted to speak for Ji Xiaoli, but considering that this was a family affair, she was not very suitable to intervene. What’s more, even if she was domineering at ordinary times, she had to be restrained in front of her mother-in-law.

Ji Xiaoli kept calm. When she saw them coming, she knew they were not friendly. So after hearing this, she laughed coldly, “Why do I steal Qin Zheng? Since you all regard him as a treasure, you should take good care of him. And he has nothing to do with me right now. What have I done wrong? And I have no idea who I’ve seduced? You must have solid evidences for saying these things. Otherwise, you are slandering me.”

“You know best in your mind whether we are slandering you. You have seduced my son Qin Zheng and my third brother Qin Zhenyang successively. The two men of the Qin family are fascinated by you. Miss Ji, you are really charming.” Zhang Xiu’e said calmly.

At that time, Ji Xuewei pretended to be delicate and touching and stood between Zhang Xiu’e and Ji Xiaoli with her lips pursed, “Mother-in-law, my sister, she… Please don’t say that about her. It’s all my fault. Otherwise, Qin Zheng wouldn’t have chosen not to meet me for a month.”

‘They are engaged now. How come they haven’t seen each other for a month?’

Zhang Xiu’e knew that her son had hardly been on a business trip those days, ‘We all know he is about to get engaged, so we don’t give him any more assignments. But they seldom met in the past month…’

She looked at Ji Xiaoli subconsciously. She firmly believed that Ji Xiaoli secretly seduced her son, ‘Otherwise, how could her son be so indifferent to Ji Xuewei?’

Ji Xiaoli didn’t want to continue talking with them, ‘No matter what I say, I won’t make a good impression on the Qin family.’ So she was going to take Qi Xiaoguang to other places, but Zhang Xiu’e stopped her.

“Are you afraid of being found out? You always claim that you are Qin Zhenyang’s woman. But Qin Zheng and Xuewei are engaged. Why can they not meet for a month? Has Qin Zheng been with you all the time? You explain it to me. Otherwise, not only me, but also the whole Qin family will not forgive you.” Zhang Xiu’e gave a grim smile. The old lady liked the youngest son Qin Zheng best. If she knew that Qin Zheng was in contact with a dishonest woman, she would certainly deal with this woman. Then…

Ji Xiaoli felt a little angry and frowned, “Mrs. Qin, please respect me. As I said just now, you regard Qin Zheng as a treasure, but not everyone regards him as a treasure. In my eyes, he is just a man who abandoned me. There are many more excellent men than him. Do you think I’ll be with him? But I’m sorry, I’m not interested in him.”

Thwack！

Zhang Xiue was so angry that she slapped Ji Xiaoli. She used so much force that almost all the female guests around heard the sound and turned to look at them.

Zhang Xiu’e was angry, ‘My son is so excellent, but she says my son is not a good man. And she obviously seduced my son, but she doesn’t admit it.’ She couldn’t stand Ji Xiaoli lying.

Ji Xiaoli looked at Mrs. Qin and turned to leave without any expression. She was slapped, but she couldn’t fight back. This feeling was absolutely not good.

All people stared at Ji Xiaoli curiously. ‘What is the identity of Qin Zhenyang’s female companion? Why does she have conflicts with Qin Zheng’s mother? And there seems to be a big conflict between them.’

“Xiaoli, are you OK?” Qi Xiaoguang was also angry, and wanted to beat Zhang Xiu’e violently. But they were all rich wives. They had to endure some things, especially in the awkward situation where Ji Xiaoli was.

Ji Xiaoli shook her head with a bitter smile.

But at that time, Ji Xuewei came over again. They tried to stay away from her, but she still ran to them, “I’m sorry, sister. Please forgive our aunt. She was worried about Qin Zheng, so she did so.”

Ji Xiaoli didn’t want to continue to chat with her, and was going to stay away from her. But she didn’t know Ji Xuewei was going to pull her. Then she accidentally pushed Ji Xuewei. As a result, a half cup of red wine originally held in Ji Xuewei’s hand was all sprinkled on her chest.

For a while, Ji Xiaoli was really in a mess.

Ji Xiaoli’s snow-white dress was stained by red wine. Ji Xuewei constantly apologized to her. The more haughtily she ignored Ji Xuewei, the louder the voice of discussion in the crowd.
