After being urged to marry, the heir of a wealthy family dragged me to get the certificate

John looked displeased when the conversation was interrupted, but Cheng Xinxin's words also pointed out the purpose of their trip, so he took advantage of the situation and said:

"Haha, Mr. Jiang's wife is so beautiful that I almost forgot about the business. Miss Cheng and I will hold a party on the 29th. We will take this opportunity to get to know the big shots in City A to facilitate future cooperation. We will inevitably invite Jiang Sir and your family would appreciate it."

Jiang Li had long heard Lu Mingyue talk about the disagreement between them and Cheng Xinxin at the tea party, and looked embarrassed when he heard the words.

"My father has a good relationship with the Wen family. This Miss Cheng... in order to avoid suspicion, I am afraid she will let down Mr. John's kindness."

"It's getting late, so my wife and I will take our leave first."

After saying that, he pulled Lu Mingyue and turned around to leave.

Cheng Xinxin's eyes widened in respect. She never expected that she would be tricked by Jiang Li before she could cause trouble to Lu Mingyue.

She panicked, "Jiang Li, you----"

The rest of the words were swallowed up in John's gloomy expression, "What did Mr. Jiang just say, you and the Wen family... mean?"

……

After getting in the car, Lu Mingyue could no longer suppress her curiosity.

"How do you know John doesn't know about her and the Wen family?"

"Guess."

"If John knew what happened to her and sent her to host this banquet, wouldn't it be a loss of face for himself?"

Cheng Xinxin's reputation in City A can only bring him ridicule, which is of no benefit.

Lu Mingyue thought the same thing.

"But if you exposed her today, you won't be resented."

Lu Mingyue was a little worried when she thought of Cheng Xinxin and her daughter Yaizhen's inevitable retribution.

Jiang Li snorted disdainfully, "She just wants to see if John is willing to take the risk of offending the Jiang family for a woman."

"Don't worry, she's not that important yet."

Lu Mingyue felt relieved.

It was just as Jiang Li expected.

The next day, John contacted him and said that he had been deceived before, but now he had made a new decision and asked the mayor's wife to organize the banquet on his behalf and invite everyone again.

Not long after, Lu Mingyue also received a call from Ji Xi.

"Mingyue, I'm taking over John's banquet now. Do you want to come and play? Don't worry, I promise you that no one who is an eyesore will appear at the banquet."

Lu Mingyue was amused by her straightforward tone and readily agreed.

"Okay, Mrs. Ji personally invited me and I will be there on time."

Ji Xi's red lips on the other end of the phone raised slightly, "Why don't you call me Mrs. Ji? Call me Sister Xi. By the way, don't forget to come with your wife. I don't know what the men said, Just mention it casually."

The mayor's wife was particularly easy to get along with, and Lu Mingyue changed her tune.

"Okay Sister Xi, I'll ask him when I come back tonight."

He didn't say too much, just in case Jiang Li had any other arrangements.

After a brief chat, the two hung up the phone, and no one mentioned how Cheng Xinxin was doing after being replaced.

Never mind her, it has nothing to do with them anyway.

The mayor's wife's reputation was indeed much better than that of Cheng Xinxin. On the day of the banquet, Lu Mingyue saw that several wives who had originally rejected Cheng Xinxin at the tea party also showed up at the banquet.

She and Jiang Li separated after entering. The first half was for men and women. The ladies were greeted by Ji Xi, and the men were accompanied by John himself.

This was Lu Mingyue's first time attending such a banquet alone, and she felt a little nervous.

Fortunately, Ji Xi's arrangements were very appropriate, and there were no people who were annoying to the scenery. The ladies who had met before would also take some care of her for Jiang's mother's sake. Lu Mingyue adapted very well.

When Ji Xi came over after finishing her work, what she saw was her being dragged along by several ladies to chat.

Don't tell me, it's quite harmonious.

Ji Xi took off her shawl and walked over, "There are so many pools left unused, but they have to be squeezed together. Let me hear what sounds so good that you are not willing to leave."

Those who came today were all familiar to each other, and those who were not familiar with each other were arranged to go far away. After hearing this, the wife joked:

"You are so picky that we are not allowed to talk together because we are in love with each other. We have to take care of this and that. It is right that you and the mayor are the same family."

This made everyone laugh.

Ji Xi pretended to be angry, "Go away, just show off, right? If you make fun of me again, be careful I'll ask my old Liu to wear your little shoes."

After laughing for a few times, she looked at Lu Mingyue with a smile.

"How's it going? Are you adapting well? No one is bullying you, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted:

"Oh, you don't trust the character of our sisters. Can we be so shameless and bully a little girl? Mingyue, tell me, did anyone look down on you or make things difficult for you when we were here just now?"

Lu Mingyue quickly explained: "No, no, all the sisters take good care of me."

Ji Xi couldn't laugh or cry.

"Where do you want to go!"

"Mr. Renjiang specially told me that it was the first time his wife came to such an occasion by herself, and he asked me to take more care of her. I was so busy just now, why didn't I just come over and see you and ask a few questions? You guys? , Tsk, tsk, tsk, what do you think of me?"

"You should have told me earlier. It turns out that Mr. Jiang is worried about his little wife, and is afraid that you won't take good care of him. We still think of it as ---"

The ladies looked at each other and laughed in unison.

This is making a fuss.

Ji Xixiao glared at a few people and then looked at Lu Mingyue, "It would save me a lot of trouble if we were all as familiar as you."

Lu Mingyue couldn't help but blush, but her heart felt sweet.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was the Lantern Festival. On this day, Jiang Li gave all the company's employees a day off and did not go to work. He and Lu Mingyue went back to their old house early in the morning to spend the festival with the two elderly people.

Wang Ma, Aunt Lan and Grandma Lu were rubbing handmade yuanxiao in the kitchen, and Lu Mingyue ran over to join in the fun.

"What kind of filling is there? Are there any peanuts and walnuts?"

Grandma Lu laughed at her, "No one will be without you, little greedy cat. Don't worry, I've prepared it for you early in the morning."

Life was hard in the past, and they couldn't afford what was sold outside. Grandma Lu would make it by herself every year, just enough for one meal.

As time passed, Lu Mingyue became unaccustomed to eating food sold outside.

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother came early. As soon as they got home, they pulled Jiang Li into the study room, where they gave daily lectures to the three of them.

Lu Mingyue took out the pigeon blood red ring and turquoise suit that she had taken last time and handed them to Jiang's mother. Ms. Jiang said "ouch" in surprise.

"Mingyue also bought me a gift."

When she opened it, the first thing she said was, "Did you buy it for yourself?"

Lu Mingyue felt warm in her heart.

"I have one too. Jiang Li bought it. I borrowed the flowers and offered them to my mother. Thank you for taking care of me."

Ms. Jiang smiled and rolled her eyes, giving her an angry look.

"Why are you borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha? I have raised this brat for so many years and I have never seen him give me a gift during the holidays. He is still thinking about my mother. How can I say that the girl is considerate and she is really a good daughter of my mother."

She pulled out a bag from behind and said, "Just in time, Mom also picked out a bracelet for you. You can try it to see if it fits."
