Mrs. Ji saw Jiang Sai and took the initiative to greet her, "Miss Jiang, you are here."

Jiang Sai congratulated Mrs. Ji, "Mrs. Ji, happy birthday!" Mrs. Ji was delighted, "Thank you."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Madam Ji, the servant took Jiang Sai to the main table, along with Father Xu and the other two. "Please take a seat."

Jiang Sai greeted, "Uncle, Aunt."

"Yeah." Both Xu's father and Yao Cui had unnatural expressions. They knew Jiang Sai would come and had been mentally prepared, but their hearts still trembled the moment they saw her. This girl was too powerful. They could not be defeated in any argument or fight.

Jiang Sai stepped forward and patted the child on the shoulder without any courtesy, "How rude! You didn't even say hello, cousin?"

Father Xu cleared his throat and said, "Xiaobao, call for help." The junior high school student was very rebellious. He insisted on going against Father Xu and refused to speak with his neck stiff.

“Auntie, where is this place? As a relative of the Ji family, please don’t be rude and make a fool of yourself,” Jiang Sai reminded.

Yao Cui pinched the child secretly, and the child grimaced in pain, and then he obediently called for help. Jiang Sai smiled, there are many ways to treat children.

After a while, Xu Yiyao and Ji Qi'an walked in together and came to Mrs. Ji.

"Mom, the guests are almost all here. We can start." Except for Mr. Li, almost all the people who said they would come in the reply letter have arrived.

Mrs. Ji loves to watch Henan opera, especially the grand and magnificent large-scale operas. Like in previous years, Ji Miao specially invited a Henan opera master to perform at home. It was the first time for Xu Yiyao to hear this Henan opera. The singing was smooth and the rhythm was distinct. No wonder Mrs. Ji liked it.

The stage was set up, and the show began. Guests arrived one after another, congratulating Mrs. Ji. With more people, the quiet banquet hall suddenly became noisy. Many people walked around with wine glasses, shuttled between each table to say hello, and made themselves familiar with each other. The scene was very lively.

Those who were familiar with Mrs. Ji even asked directly whether Xu Yiyao had any news about her pregnancy and whether she could become a grandmother next year.

Xu Yiyao was a little embarrassed. She couldn't have a child by herself. "No."

Madam Ji came to Xu Yiyao's rescue, "They young people want to live in their own world, and let the matter of children take its course. Anyway, I am still young and can wait."

But privately she urged Xu Yiyao to quickly give birth to a grandson for her to take care of.

Father Xu also picked up the wine jug and wine glass, and diligently poured wine for other guests and clinked glasses. He had done his homework before coming, and figured out which people were worth currying favor with. He wanted to take advantage of the relationship with Ji Qi'an's father-in-law to get close to the big boss of Heping City and the leaders of the Education Bureau to make his presence felt. It would be best if they could leave contact information so that he would have more connections and more ways out.

Jiang Sai understood Yiyao's situation, and Ji Qian'an's cold attitude towards Yiyao was partly due to Xu's father. As his nephew, Jiang Sai couldn't afford to lose face, so she followed Xu's father throughout the whole process and didn't allow him to do anything embarrassing.

"Hey, why are you following me? I need to go say hello to those big bosses."

Jiang Sai snatched his wine glass and whispered, "How dare you greet them? Do they know you?"

Father Xu was not convinced. "I am a relative of the Ji family. Who wouldn't give me some face? Besides, wouldn't we know each other after drinking a few glasses of wine?"

"That's to give face to Madam Ji, otherwise they would be willing to pay attention to you? I warn you, if you don't listen, I will go back and make your family a mess." Jiang Sai glared at him fiercely and threatened.

What a sin! How could he have to have a niece like Jiang Sai!

"Sorry, Mrs. Ji, I'm late." A loud and deep voice sounded at the door, but the voice arrived before the person arrived.

Everyone at the banquet was attracted by him. Mr. Li entered the room in a high-profile manner with his female companion. A bright scarlet color caught the eye, bright and attractive. The person who came was actually Ye Xuanyi!

Xu Yiyao's face turned pale. Why did Ye Xuanyi come to Mrs. Ji's birthday party? Was it Ji Qi'an's idea? This was too much. Did he still take her, his wife, seriously?

Ye Xuanyi had mentioned that she wanted to come to celebrate her mother's birthday, but Ji Qi'an refused. His mother had always disliked Ye Xuanyi, and he didn't want to upset her on her birthday, so her name was not on the invitation list. Unexpectedly, Xuanyi came with Mr. Li.

Ji Qi'an was at a loss as to what to do. He wanted to ask her something, but just as he was about to take a step forward, Mrs. Ji grabbed his arm and warned him with her eyes not to act rashly.

Mrs. Ji was indeed someone who had seen a lot of things. Her face was calm and she showed no emotion. She stepped forward and shook his hand. "Mr. Li, why did you come just now? I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Mrs. Ji, happy birthday." Mr. Li expressed his congratulations to Mrs. Ji and introduced Ye Xuanyi by the way, "This is Miss Ye Xuanyi, an excellent employee of our company. I heard that it was your birthday today, Mrs. Ji, so I came here specially to congratulate you."

Before Ye Xuanyi could speak, Madam Ji smiled and responded, "I know him. Let's not talk while standing. Mr. Li, please take a seat."

Ye Xuanyi was not annoyed, as if she had expected that Mrs. Ji would not give her a good face. With bright eyes and a smile on her face, she took a seat with Mr. Li.

Ji Qi'an stared at Ye Xuanyi intently. If there weren't so many people present, he would have wanted to question her, asking her why she didn't tell him and why she came here.

Xu Yiyao looked at Ji Qi'an and found that he was also staring at Ye Xuanyi. Her nose was sour and her eyes were misty. No, she absolutely could not show her weakness in front of Ye Xuanyi. She lowered her head and gathered the hair around her ears with her hands, adjusted her mood, and then raised her head.

He stared blankly at Ye Xuanyi's actions. Anyone who saw it would think that there was something fishy about their relationship.

Jiang Sai was too busy to take care of everything. She had to look after Xu's father on one side, and Ye Xuanyi had also come over on the other side. There was also an old man who didn't have much sense, about forty years old, who came up to her and showed his courtesy.

"Ms. Jiang, would you do me the honor of having a drink?" The man recognized Jiang Sai, but Jiang Sai had no impression of him.

Ji Yuansheng took a step forward, raised the glass in his right hand, and stretched out his left hand to touch Jiang Sai's shoulder, but she slapped it away with lightning speed.

"I'm Qi'an's uncle, and you're my niece's wife's cousin. We're in-laws. We're a family, let's have a drink."

Jiang Sai sneered. Is this a relative of the Ji family? He is so old and still so bold as to hit on a young girl at Mrs. Ji's birthday party. It's disgusting.

Jiang Sai didn't say a word to him from beginning to end. He turned around and said sarcastically to Xu's father: "There is someone who is more shameless than you. It's an eye-opener."

Ji Yuansheng was not angry. Seeing that Jiang Sai ignored him, he stopped pestering her and turned to look for his next target.

On the other hand, Ji Miao was really disappointed with her brother. When would she finally end her relationship with Ye Xuanyi? And Ye Xuanyi looked so annoying when she smiled. Was she here to provoke him?

The song ended, and the troupe on the stage finished their performance. The host began to cue the process, "Next, please invite Mrs. Ji to come to the stage to speak. Everyone, please welcome her with applause."

Madam Ji walked up to the stage gracefully, "Thank you all very much for coming to my birthday party. I am over fifty years old, and I have lived up to the old man's trust. I have survived many storms. It has not been easy along the way, but fortunately I have children who can share the burden with me. From now on, I will leave Ji's to them."

Recalling the past and looking at the present, Mrs. Ji lamented the changes of the times, and also joked about herself, "I'm old, and I always like to nag. I won't say more, I'm sorry for the poor hospitality, everyone, enjoy your food and drink." After Mrs. Ji finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause in the venue.

Next, Mrs. Ji toasted one by one and accepted the guests' congratulations. The sound of clinking glasses continued in the air.

Ji Qi'an sent a message to Ye Xuanyi, asking her to come to the yard because he had something to ask her.

Ye Xuanyi glanced at the message, pretended not to see it, put the phone away, and continued to drink and chat with the people at the table.

Many people came to toast him. Mr. Li had an extraordinary alcohol tolerance and was very generous. He accepted all the toasts. As Mr. Li's female companion, she naturally drank a lot as well.

Ji Qi'an knew Ye Xuanyi's alcohol tolerance, which was average, and she would get drunk after a few drinks. He watched from the side, feeling anxious and wishing he could drink for her.

Ye Xuanyi found an excuse to get away, "Boss Li, I'm going to the bathroom."

However, she turned a corner on the way to the bathroom and took a detour to the yard.
