The engagement party was very lively.

Hall Master Zhou personally greeted the guests at the door.

It was a great honor to have a brigade commander from the military government come to support us; but for the Qing Gang, Zhou Longtou actually came in person.

He and Hall Leader Zhou sat at a table alone, surrounded by seven or eight entourages in blue short-clothed shirts.

"Is that Zhou Longtou?"

"It's him."

"They're cousins, they don't look alike."

Zhou Longtou is tall and skinny; Hall Master Zhou is short and fat.

Yan Xin glanced towards Zhou Longtou.

Somehow, Zhou Longtou suddenly looked in her direction.

His eyes were locked on Yan Xin's face.

Yan Xin knew that the first time she made a meritorious service in the military government and gained the attention of the military governor was that she predicted the explosion in the theater.

That explosion was arranged by the Qing Gang.

In the previous life, the bombing did kill several senior officials of the military government, which made the military government passive in front of the Youth Gang for several years.

Yan Xin ruined the Qing Gang's good deeds.

After Zhou Longtou finished reading her, he exchanged a few words with Hall Master Zhou in a low voice.

Yan Xin looked away and saw from the corner of her eye that they were still looking at her.

She stopped looking that way.

The banquet started at noon, and the two elders were present. The bride-to-be was wearing a new Western wedding dress, which attracted the guests' admiration.

"Wear white when getting married?"

"If you dress like this for an engagement, you must not be getting married, right?"

"Wear white when you get married. This is the rule outside. Let's not talk nonsense, lest we be regarded as antiques."

Yan Xin listened quietly.

The eldest lady came down from upstairs with Jiang Siqiao only fifteen minutes before the banquet started. Jiang Siqiao supported her.

Her leg was injured in a fall and has not recovered yet. Walking is very inconvenient and she needs crutches.

Jiang Siqiao served around him.

His stick injury has healed and it does not affect his ability to sit or lie down.

"The eldest lady has won over Jiang Siqiao." Yan thought to herself.

In the previous life, the eldest wife never treated Jiang Siqiao so kindly. Her biological son was still there at that time, but not around.

now...

Yan Xin glanced at Jiang Siqiao's face.

Jiang Siqiao's expression was very complicated. He may have been persuaded by his eldest wife and Zhang Qingya, but he felt uncomfortable with his cousin's engagement.

He looked up to his cousin all his life.

Last time he left his cousin and ran away. I'm afraid his cousin expressed his understanding and they reconciled again.

Jiang Siqiao is not a difficult person to understand.

In peacetime, when he had no worries about food and clothing, he would think of his cousin and be willing to give her any good things without being stingy.

If something happens and he cannot protect himself, he will take care of himself first.

A man with his character is considered to be the best among the dwarfs.

However, my cousin will not be satisfied.

My cousin will be able to marry the president as a sequel in the future. She does have some abilities and some opportunities. She can control Jiang Siqiao, tame him, and make him have something delicious and fun to eat, but he should think of her first.

The person Jiang Siqiao loves is himself first, and his cousin second.

He is extremely ruthless towards everyone else.

Yan Xin's son is like Jiang Siqiao in this aspect, he always only thinks about himself.

As a mother, Yan Xin never thought about taming her son, but only wanted to cultivate him, provide him with nutrients, and help him grow into a towering tree.

In the end, she couldn't overcome her natural instincts, and she lost miserably.

Yan Xin was slightly distracted, the engagement party had already begun.

It was a very new style, no one had ever seen anything like it before, and everyone was having a great time watching it.

The guests were in for a treat.

"It's really trendy and different from the past."

"This engagement saves trouble. It saves three letters and six betrothals. It saves a lot of trouble. In the future, our son will do the same when discussing marriage."

The guests discussed.

Some people think that this engagement banquet is convenient, saves money, and reduces time and trouble.

Some people feel that it is informal, changes the rules of the ancestors, and seems frivolous. The "new trend" thing will be eliminated sooner or later.

Yan Xin has been crushed in the cracks of the times. Looking back, it turns out that she was not the only one who lived a cautious life.

The trend of the times is crushing everyone.

She was somewhat relieved.

The engagement party was over, but the guests didn't leave because of the trendy rules and there was still a dinner party.

In the afternoon, there was a dance party and afternoon tea, with a band; the guest rooms upstairs were reserved by Zhou Congling, so you could take the key and go upstairs to rest at any time with the boy.

After lunch, the tables and chairs in the Markham Hotel's restaurant were removed, and the waiters set up a long table and began to place various snacks.

Some of the snacks I have never even seen.

Yan Xin went to find the old lady and planned to help her rest.

The eldest lady, who had limited legs and feet, was also beside the old lady and talking to her.

Someone came over and said politely: "Miss, our leader invites you."

The female members of the Jiang family were stunned.

The old lady was a little flustered: "What's the matter? Our daughter-in-law Xiaoxi is the adopted daughter of the military government."

The attendant in blue cloth spoke very politely: "Old lady, the leader just wants to invite the young lady to play a game of chess. Treat her with good tea."

The eldest lady looked surprised and uncertain.

No one mentioned this matter, and Zhou Conling never mentioned such an arrangement.

Is it good or bad?

Is it possible that in addition to her connections with the military government, Yan Xin could also have connections with the Youth Gang?

If this is true, she will be even more difficult to deal with in the future!

The eldest lady looked at her with gloomy eyes and suddenly said, "I'll go with her. She's a young wife, so I'm afraid she may have hit the dragon's head."

The attendant still smiled gently: "Madam, I haven't invited you. The leader just wants to invite the eldest lady."

He emphasized the word "eldest lady" to tell the female family members of the Jiang family that Yan Xin is the adopted daughter of the military government and is qualified to see the leader. Others are not worthy.

Even if there is a conflict, it is between the Youth Gang and the military government. The Jiang family is not qualified to mediate, and they are not even qualified to carry shoes.

The eldest lady understood and her face became stiff.

Yan Xin knew it was a blessing or a curse, so she said to her entourage: "I will let you go."

She left with her entourage.

The faucet is in the lounge on the fifth floor.

Wanjin Hotel is the tallest building in Yicheng, with a total of five floors.

For previous buildings, the difficulty and cost increased dozens of times for each additional floor; only luxurious places could build five floors.

When we reached the third floor, someone bumped into Yan Xin.

It was a follower coming downstairs.

The two followers knew each other.

"Who is this?" asked the attendant who came downstairs.

"She is the eldest lady of the military government. Why are you wandering around? Where is the eldest young master?"

"The eldest son is upstairs."

Of the two of them, one is a follower of Longtou and the other is of the eldest son Zhou Junwang.

Yan Xin understood and said to Zhou Longtou's entourage: "I have to go to the bathroom. There is an empty room here."

The attendant smiled gently: "Miss, please continue upstairs."

"I peed on myself. I'm afraid it's disrespectful to the faucet, right?" she said. "I'm a young woman, and when I see the faucet, I'm going to say I'm in need of urination, right?"

Follower: "..."

For her to be able to say such words in front of a strange man, she was probably really holding it back.

If it happens in front of the leader... the leader will probably explode.

The attendant looked at her hesitantly: "Okay. Hurry up."

He found a room in the corridor and let Yan Xin go in.

But Yan Xin said: "The room number of [-] is not as auspicious as [-]. I want to go next door."

The attendant stared at her.

There was no other way, so he asked her to go to [-].

In the room, someone opened the door.

The attendant was slightly surprised, and the people inside hissed at him, and Yan Xin immediately ducked in.

The attendant followed him into the room and closed the door behind his back.
