Bai Xinlan didn't chat with Xue Zimu for too long. Although Yao Yue was only a stepmother, she was the elder Xue's family who led Xue Zimu to the banquet after all. It seemed somewhat inappropriate for them to avoid each other and talk directly to Xue Zimu. So Bai Xinlan didn't mention the marriage, but just asked about Xue Zimu's situation, then complained to Qi Yan casually, and asked Qi Yan to send Xue Zimu down.
After Xue Zimu was taken away by Qi Yan, Yao Yue also began to feel uncomfortable after being pleasantly surprised. The families who didn't take Xue's family seriously at first would not be happy when they found that Xue Zimu brought by Yao Yue seemed to be picking the fruits of victory ahead of time. In a short period of time, there were endless words of probing and venting. While Yao Yue was tired of coping, he was also worried that Xue Zimu knew the essence of the banquet. Yao Yue was almost certain that Xue Zimu would be angry when he found out. Even if there was no serious disturbance on the spot, it would be a big trouble to directly reject the Qi family.
The people who came to this banquet were willing to marry the Qi family by default. If Xue Zimu refused after being favored by the Qi family, it can be said that it directly hurt the face of the Qi family. The entire Xue family will probably be angered by then. .
Thinking of this, Yao Yue couldn't help but regret that he didn't coax Xue Zimu to agree to it before. Although it may not be easy to get Xue Zimu to agree, it is better than carrying a time bomb with an uncertain time like now. However, Yao Yue's original plan was to let Xue Zimu show his face. If it works, he will try to coerce and lure Xue Zimu later. However, who would have thought that this little brat not only talked to Qi Yan, but was also called by Madam Qi's name!
Since Mrs. Qi said that she wanted to see Xue Zimu, she probably picked him. If Xue Zimu refused to let the opportunity to climb up to the Qi family disappear, let alone Xue Li, Yao Yue would have to suffocate to death!
Yao Yue's expression was in a trance because of the intertwined emotions of great joy and sorrow, and he was very perfunctory when dealing with other people's hidden tricks. Seeing that they couldn't find anything, these people didn't surround Yao Yue anymore, they could only secretly hope that Xue Zimu would be called over by Bai Xinlan and it would not work out in the end.
When Xue Zimu came back, everyone's eyes suddenly gathered together again, and then most of them quickly became ashamed when they saw Qi Yan next to him.
Judging by the looks of these two people, it doesn't look like the conversation has collapsed.
Yao Yue's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he felt that there was something interesting, so he wanted to have a relationship with Qi Yan. But as soon as she approached with an eager smile, Qi Yan just turned around, nodded to Xue Zimu, and then strode away.
The eagerness on Yao Yue's face suddenly turned into embarrassment.
Fortunately, no one was staring at her at this time, and everyone looked Xue Zimu up and down several times, and then dispersed.
The banquet is drawing to a close.
When they were leaving, Bai Xinlan and Yuan Manhuan politely saw them off at the door. Generally speaking, with the status of the Qi family, the hostess does not need to do such things, but this banquet is special after all. It is understandable for the Qi family to behave politely if they hurt their own face.
When Yao Yue left with Xue Zimu, Bai Xinlan specifically asked, "Do you want Ah Yan to see you off?"
Xue Zimu shook his head hastily, and it was too late for Yao Yue to agree, and he complained in his heart that Xue Zimu was not up to the mark, but at this moment he was almost completely happy after being nervous. With Bai Xinlan's performance, it is clear that Xue Zimu's choice as Qi Yan's spouse is basically a certainty.
Yao Yue couldn't help thinking about the good days when he could get closer to the Qi family in the future, and he was immersed in the joy of winning a lottery ticket along the way, especially the benefits of climbing to the Qi family were much more than hundreds of millions of lottery tickets . So much so that she didn't consider for a while why Xue Zimu didn't seem to reject Xue Zimu after knowing that the Xue family intended him to marry Qi Yan, and she didn't notice the not-so-obvious sarcasm on Xue Zimu's face.
When I returned to Xue's house, it was rare that several other people were there. Xue Lin and Xue Yu seemed to be pestering Xue Li and acting like a baby for some reason. However, as soon as Xue Zimu entered, the atmosphere suddenly stagnated.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Xue Lin's face, but Xue Li saw the joy on Yao Yue's face, his eyes lit up immediately, and he came back to his senses just as he was about to ask something, and said to Xue Lin and Xue Yu: "Okay, Dad promised you, It's getting late, go back to your room and rest." Then he smiled at Xue Zimu and said, "Zimu is tired too, hurry up and take a bath and rest."
Xue Lin knew the reason why Yao Yue took Xue Zimu out today, and she wanted to stay to hear the result after seeing the situation, but seeing Xue Li's face, she obediently went back to the room.
Xue Zimu estimated that Xue Li and Yao Yue would come to him tomorrow to "understand reason and empathize with him", and felt that he should also take a good rest and recharge his energy, so as not to let the other party see his disgust when dealing with them tomorrow. Come. He casually followed Xue Lin and Xue Yu upstairs, but he didn't expect to be blocked by Xue Lin as soon as he reached the corner that he couldn't see downstairs.
"Hey, do you know why my mother took you to the banquet?" Xue Lin couldn't help but ask deliberately because she was not willing to see Xue Zimu's calm and peaceful appearance. The clinker Xue Zimu looked up at her for a moment, then lowered his head, walked around her expressionlessly and continued to his room.
"Hey, you..." Seeing this, Xue Lin's anger rose sharply, but Xue Yu gave her a hand impatiently, and said with a frown, "Why are you bothering with him? Let my parents hear it later. It might be gone."
"I don't believe that Dad will cancel our birthday party because of him." Xue Lin insisted, but she still stomped her feet and didn't catch up with Xue Zimu.
Xue Zimu twitched the corners of his mouth ironically when he heard the movement behind him. Xue Lin was the one who troubled him the most in the Xue family, but Xue Yu had always ignored him, so he didn't have a particularly deep dislike for Xue Yu in his previous life. However, Xue Lin, who is used to making trouble for him, pushed him down the stairs and made him half disabled. Xue Yu, who has always been a well-off man, made Yao Yue find him to take the blame because he hit someone with a speeding car, which directly killed him completely. . As a result, now Xue Zimu doesn't know who he hates more.
But he didn't think too much about it. Anyway, in this life, the entire Xue family is the target of his revenge.
Downstairs, Yao Yue told Xue Li what happened at the banquet. Xue Li looked happy and frowned for a while, and finally said to Yao Yue: "Anyway, it seems that the Qi family has almost been settled, Zi Mu It's the best way. It seems that we don't have to make too much effort in the future, just teach Zimu so that he doesn't annoy the Qi family." As for why Xue Zimu didn't reject him, Xue Li said When he was moved by the conditions of the Qi family because he was poor in the past, or he heard that the second son of the Qi family was very good-looking, maybe the child was fascinated by his appearance. Anyway, as long as he can get benefits, Xue Li doesn't care much about the reason.
Yao Yue nodded, and Xue Li said again: "There is also that girl, Linlin, who is facing Zimu all day long with her nose or eyes. It's fine before, but after Zimu is married to the Qi family, she will play with her temper." It's just embarrassing the Qi family! If the whole Xue family is implicated, it's up to me to deal with her!"
Yao Yue's face was a little stiff when she heard the words, and it was only then that she realized for the first time that the success of this marriage not only means that the Xue family will rise in Beijing, but also that Xue Zimu's status will rise the most. You have to give the other party a smile.
Thinking of this, Yao Yue's face is not as happy as before.
Xue Li saw her thoughts at a glance, snorted in his heart, but still said: "I don't know how Linlin's temperament came from, and I didn't learn from you. I don't expect her to be more intimate with Zi Mu, anyway. It's okay to be like Xiaoyu who can't afford conflicts."
Yao Yue also felt that Xue Lin was too straightforward and impulsive, and it was hard to guarantee that she would not suffer from things like work and marriage in the future, so she thought it would be good to give her a twist. And if Xue Zimu really marries Qi Yan, there will be many things that the other party can do to help in the future, especially if Yao Yue wants Xue Lin to choose a wealthy son-in-law, the young talents that Xue's family can get in touch with are naturally worse than those that Qi's family can get in touch with Big cut.
Thinking of this, Yao Yue made up his mind to let his daughter have a good relationship with Xue Zimu, and said to Xue Li with a smile: "What you said is, I will definitely teach Linlin well. I heard that Linlin said that she would go to the concert in two days. Let her call Zi Mu together."
Xue Li nodded in satisfaction. Although he doesn't really care about Xue Zimu, he is still his son after all, and now he is a son who has a great effect. Xue Li still doesn't want the conflicts between his children to be too obvious. After thinking about it, he reminded: "Listen to you. As you said, Young Master Qi seems to attach great importance to Zi Mu. In this case, let Zi Mu get in touch with Young Master Qi more, Xiaoyu and Linlin can also get to know each other."
When Xue Li and Yao Yue were discussing Qi Yan's idea, the Qi family was also discussing the matter of the Xue family. But Qi Yan was not there, but stayed outside with friends. Besides Xu Chi, there were two other people present, one was Qi Yan and Xu Chifa's younger Jian Hongshen, and the other was Xu Chi's cousin Xu Lan.
Xu Lan was taken into the Xu family at the age of fourteen, and the four of them grew up together. Although Xu Lan and them are a few years apart, it is not particularly possible to play together, but because of Xu Chi's relationship, some group activities will not exclude him.
This day is their gathering, the purpose is to commemorate Qi Yan's soon-to-be single time. This banquet is an ultimatum given to Qi Yan by the elders of Qi's family. After the banquet, one must be chosen to get married. For this reason, Qi Yan's friends predicted early that Qi Yan would not be happy tonight, and deliberately wanted him to relax.
But Xu Chi now doubts that Qi Yan is unhappy.
"Who did Brother Yan pick?" Xu Lan asked curiously.
Xu Chi glanced at Qi Yan and answered for him: "Xue Zimu from the Xue family."
Xu Lan raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, "Who is that? I haven't heard of it before."
Xu Chi then briefly talked about Xue Zimu's situation, and Xu Lan couldn't help frowning after hearing this, "This identity is not suitable for Brother Yan..."
Jian Hongshen didn't speak, but his expression darkened a little.
Xu Chi was about to say something when he saw this, but Qi Yan put the cup in his hand on the table, knocked it crisply, then stood up, lowered his eyes and said, "I'm going back."
The other three were taken aback, seeing that Qi Yan had really gone out, Xu Chi hurried to catch up, but Xu Lan shouted: "Brother Yan, I have a ticket for the Moonlight Orchestra's concert in Beijing the day after tomorrow, do you want to go?"
Qi Yan was about to answer "No" when she heard the words, but she heard Xu Lan say again in a second: "By the way, I have a lot of tickets in my hand. Brother Yan, you can also invite that young master Xue."
This time Qi Yan paused, as if thinking. Xu Chi glanced at Xu Lan, then at Jian Hongshen, whose expression had not been well, and sighed in his heart.
