On the weekend, Xi Xiaye didn't get up early, because she had been fighting until three or four in the morning last night, preparing and sorting out some materials for the Nanjiang project. Once she got busy, she forgot the time.
When I woke up, it was almost noon, and the muted phone showed a lot of missed calls, which were called by Su Nan. I didn't need to think about what Su Nan was doing. After thinking about it, I didn't call back.
After a simple grooming and breakfast, she changed her clothes and was ready to go out.
Dressed as usual, black clothes and black trousers, wearing a black mid-length windbreaker, with black and beautiful hair falling down the shoulders, the whole person looks very thin and thin.
When I went out, it was a rare cloudy day and the wind was very dry.
She always went to grandpa Xi Jiyang's 70th birthday.
If there is anything she misses in that big house, it is probably grandpa.
Xi Jiyang loves her very much, and hasn't gone back to see him for several years, knowing that she shouldn't, but she can't help it. In that big house, there are too many memories that she doesn't want to touch.
Yes, Xi Jiyang's birthday party was held in that big house - West Garden.
The West Garden is the old house of the Xi family. It occupies a large area and is in such a luxurious and luxurious European style, like a castle.
At this time, the West Garden was already very lively, a beautiful arch had been erected in front of the door, and the high-end red carpet stretched forward from the door to the West Garden, with beautiful flower baskets piled up on both sides.
Inside the house, in the magnificently decorated hall, the neatly arranged dining tables are already filled with all kinds of food, snacks and drinks, and the seats on both sides are already full of people.
Congratulations came from time to time.
The banquet hadn't started yet, and the guests in front were Yue Lingsi, Xi Xinyi and others.
"Congratulations, I wish the old man a long and boundless life!"
"Thank you, Mr. Wang!"
With a decent smile on Xi Xinyi's gentle and charming face, she gently thanked the congratulatory guests.
"Miss Xi is becoming more and more charming. The Xi family is really blessed to have such a beautiful and kind daughter. I just don't know who can marry such a good wife."
"Yeah, she's still a popular film and television star. Look at her temperament. She really deserves to be Mayor Xi's daughter. This person just doesn't look the same."
Looking at Xi Xinyi, who was busy greeting the guests, and many rich wives who had been discussing in private, Yue Lingsi, who was listening, was very proud and proud.
This daughter has always been the pride of her Yue Lingsi. Not only is she smart and capable, but she is also very understanding and beautiful!
"I don't know if Miss Xi has a partner. I really want to introduce my son to her."
"Don't even think about it. I heard that Han Yifeng, the new president of the Han family, is about to get engaged. Mr. Han is a good-looking talent. Your son probably has no chance..."
"Oh, what a pity!"
…
With a smile on the corner of Yue Lingsi's mouth, she walked towards Xi Xinyi who was in front of her.
"Xinyi, where's Yifeng? How come you haven't seen anyone yet?"
After searching for a long time, but still did not find Han Yifeng, Yue Lingsi asked suddenly.
"Yifeng has come here a long time ago. He is probably talking with Dad in the study. He should come here with Dad later. But just now, Grandpa asked Dad to come over, so there may be a delay."
Xi Xinyi smiled.
"Did your grandpa call your dad over there?"
Yue Lingsi suddenly said in surprise.
"Yes, Mom, you can entertain the guests first, I'll go upstairs and have a look."
As he said that, he turned around with a smile and walked towards the stairs beside him.
However, it was also at this time, on the wide concrete avenue leading to the back gate of the West Garden.
A black Volkswagen Passat drove fast, only to hear the sound of brakes, and the car stopped firmly beside the rear door.
Xi Xiaye turned off the car, took the gift at the side, got out of the car conveniently, and strode towards the back door. Just as she was about to reach out and press the doorbell, the door suddenly opened from the inside.
A middle-aged man with a slightly fat body came out from the inside, and when he saw Xi Xiaye in front of him, he was suddenly a little stunned.
"Miss!"
The exclamation was full of surprise, "Why are you back?"
Hearing this, Xi Xiaye frowned slightly, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him indifferently—
She naturally remembered that this person was the steward of the West Garden, Guo Fu, who had been the steward of the West Garden for many years, and seemed to be Deng Wenwen's subordinate at the beginning.
Seeing that Xi Xiaye's expression was not right, Guo Fu seemed to realize something, and quickly smiled unnaturally, "I'm sorry, miss, I mean, you haven't been home for a long time, I didn't expect you to come home on the old man's birthday Come back, in previous years you... "
Xi Xiaye glanced at him coldly, walked towards the door with big strides, and said coldly, "Let Steward Guo bother."
"Miss, I remembered. The old lady said that if she sees you back, she will let you go to her study. She has something to discuss with you!"
Guo Fu suddenly remembered this, and turned around to follow Xi Xiaye.
"I don't have anything to talk to her about. If there's anything I want her to find Xi Xinyi."
Xi Xiaye said these words in a lukewarm manner, and then walked into the house.
The purpose of her coming here today is very simple, but she wants to take a look at Grandpa, present a gift, and then leave. She has no intention of attending their banquet. Moreover, from what she understands, this should not be Grandpa's original intention. He is a very plain and low-key person, such a feast of a wealthy family does not seem like what grandpa meant.
It should be what Xi Mushan and the others meant.
However, Xi Xiaye thought, these were none of her business.
