Ji Weiyang politely shook hands with her and said in a low and magnetic voice, shocking everyone present with his words. He said, "Twenty four years old, so young, so beautiful that it's as big as my face."
General Ji's thunderous voice resonated, the people who were the most composed, at the moment, their faces turned gloomy, Ji Ting, who was standing by the side, widened his eyes, even Ji Weixin who was just a spectator, was shocked.
As for the Li family's father and daughter, they had some understanding of Ji Weiyang's past marriage history. Of course, the way Ji Weiyang married Zhan Yan back then couldn't be hidden even if they wanted to. Even though Ji Weiyang's tone was calm earlier, there was a hint of doting in his words, so it wasn't hard to guess what he meant.
Li Jianguo kept quiet with a dark face, while Li Xiaoqian's rosy cheeks turned pale white. Even though the Li Family wasn't as prominent as the Ji's, they were still a famous family. And Li Xiaoqian was the youngest and most favored in the family. If Ji San had no intention, Li Jianguo would definitely not let his daughter suffer any grievances.
"Old Chief, your Ji Family is too high, looks like we can't climb too high." Li Jianguo had seen much of the world, and so his tone was a little joking, but it was obvious that he was somewhat chiding Su Yun. After all, it was the General Ji who first suggested the marriage alliance, and he was the one who got it.
Without even waiting for him to speak, Ji Weiyang had already opened his mouth, "Uncle Li, Wei Yang is retarded, I don't really understand what you mean. Didn't you and Xiao Qian come here to visit? "You don't have to be that modest. A few days ago, there was still a rumor circulating around the capital, and you, as the chief of staff of the main military sector, will soon be promoted again."
Ji Weiyang's words were half serious and half joke, but very naturally, it broke the deadlock. The reason he had purposely mentioned Zhan Yan earlier was to remind his father. But since he said so, he naturally had a way to smooth things over. After all, in front of outsiders, he would definitely not embarrass his father.
With that, Li Jianguo's expression immediately eased up, and even revealed a smile. In his eyes, he couldn't help but admire Ji Weiyang a little more. No matter how big an official, they all liked to listen to compliments.
"They're just catching up." Li Jianguo smiled and waved his hand.
"Dad, Uncle Li, can we eat now?" Su Ying smiled and walked out of the kitchen and asked respectfully.
"Yes." Ji Bocheng nodded, then courteously led Li Jianguo and his daughter into the dining hall.
Li Jianguo was a guest and his seat was also high, so he naturally sat by's side. As Ji Weiyang and Ji Ting had always been neighbors, but today, Ji Ting had very good eyesight, after Ji Weiyang sat down, she pushed Li Xiaoqian to his side without saying anything.
Ji Weiyang's serene and deep gaze swept coldly across Ji Ting. Her eyes kept shifting away, and he was obviously feeling guilty, but in his heart he was saying: Weiyang, big sis is doing this for you.
Although Li Xiaoqian was still a little reserved, her speech and actions were extremely proper. It was obvious that she was a woman with profound knowledge, who could speak on everything from politics to finance and economics to all sorts of advanced fashions. On this point, Zhan Yan was obviously unable to compare to her. Zhan Yan was an extremely reserved woman, and the dining table was even more quiet.
"Weiyang, Xiaoqian is planning to go back to China for internship. I've discussed it with your Uncle Li and decided to let Xiaoqian come to your company for internship." General Ji suddenly interrupted.
Since it was agreed upon, then naturally, Ji Weiyang was not in a position to refute. He indifferently nodded, and replied in a lukewarm manner, "Alright."
Then, General Ji said, "Isn't your company recruiting secretaries? I think Xiaoqian is quite suitable. " The secretary's office and the president's office were on the same floor, so they had the most contact with him. General Ji's intention was obvious.
Ji Weiyang's eyes were deep and deep as he smiled faintly. He put down the bowl and chopsticks, casually picked up a tissue, and elegantly wiped the corner of his lips. This man had a certain charm.
Li Xiaoqian timely raised his goblet and saluted Ji Weiyang with it, "In the future, I still need to ask Director Ji to take care of me."
"What's your name, Director Ji? Just Vayon is fine." "Why are you acting this way." Su Ying giggled while pretending to be a good person as she helped Li Xiaoqian with the food.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Li Xiaoqian called out gently.
"Sister-in-law's words are so sweet, they're so sweet that they reach my heart." Su Ying joked. By the side, Ji Weixin saw that Old Third's eyes were growing colder and colder.
He coughed and reprimanded, "Why do you talk so much lately? You can't stop yourself from eating."
Being coldly reprimanded by her husband, Su Ying did not dare to speak anymore. This time, it was Ji Weiyang who spoke out, "I wonder what major Miss Li is learning?"
"Master of Engineering, now a doctoral student in Cambridge, English is okay." With regards to her high education, Li Xiaoqian had always been proud of it.
Ji Weiyang nodded with a warm smile, and said, "Master Engineer becoming a secretary's assistant would be unfair to Miss Li, and it just so happens that the vice president of the engineering department has retired for a month, so I think this position is more suitable for you."
The Engineering Department would naturally not let someone else retire so coincidentally, but as the CEO, she could easily make room for Li Xiaoqian.
"This …" Li Xiaoqian wanted to reject him, but Ji Weiyang said those words so flawlessly that she could not find any reason to refute. He could only accept it resentfully.
After the meal, General Ji made Ji Weiyang accompany Xiao Qian around the courtyard. Ji Weiyang did not disobey his and gave his father enough face in front of the guests.
The afternoon sunlight was just right, and the two of them walked on the stone path outside the courtyard. Last night, it had just drizzled a little, and after the first rain of spring, even the soil had a hint of freshness. Ji Weiyang walked in front with one hand in his pocket, and was dressed in a black suit.
Li Xiaoqian followed behind him with small steps, her high heels making crisp sounds on the stone road. Behind him was the simple and unadorned red-roofed villa.
Because her mother was a diplomat, she had followed her mother abroad when she was only 10 years old, living and growing up in a group of blue-eyed, yellow-haired foreigners. At this moment, everything around her was completely new to her, especially that outstanding Oriental man in front, who exuded a mysterious aura that deeply attracted her.
"Can, can I call you Brother Weiyang?" Li Xiaoqian said with a warm smile, such a harmless smile actually made people unable to reject him.
Ji Weiyang paused in his steps, and replied indifferently, "Up to you."
Li Xiaoqian gave him a gentle and beautiful smile, carrying a trace of shyness and shyness. "I, I returned here last month, and my father pulled me here to make a blind date. This is my first time meeting him, so it's kind of weird."
She spoke very sincerely. Her beautiful eyes timidly stared at him like a little deer.
Ji Weiyang's expression turned deep. From the moment he saw Li Xiaoqian, he had felt that it was a bit strange, but now he suddenly realized that this girl's every action and action was extremely similar to Zhan Yan. No wonder her father came to find her.
Perhaps in his father's eyes, what he liked was this characteristic of a woman. The General Ji naturally did not know, but what made Ji Weiyang obsessed was the trace of clarity and melancholy in his eyes that he could not let go. What made him fall in love with her, no matter how good or bad it was, was his entire person.
"With your conditions, you don't need a blind date." Ji Weiyang replied indifferently, as he casually lit up a cigarette, and the smoke slowly diffused into the clear air.
Ji Xiaoqian was no longer shy like when she first met him. On the contrary, she looked at him in a generous manner. He was smoking with a frown on his face, which could enchant a person to death. What about you? Why did you go out on a blind date? Could it be that the dignified CEO of the Ji's Group still needs to choose his wife through a blind date? "
Ji Weiyang puffed out the smoke indifferently, "I'm not sure." The meaning behind his words was that if he knew that today was a disguised blind date, he would not have come.
Li Xiaoqian was somewhat disappointed, because he could tell from this man's tone that she was impatient. Not only towards her, but more importantly, towards this family. Had he never forgotten his ex-wife?
Yes, she was very clear that he had a history of marriage, but her father didn't mention too much to her. She knew that his ex-wife was the daughter of the former Governor Wei's daughter, and her Wei Family had declined. What she knew only stopped there. There was no way for her to know any more inside information. Moreover, in the upper class circles, marriage was often the product of political union. When one side no longer had any value, marriage would also face a collapse and fall apart. This cruel reality, in this circle, she understood very clearly.
There was another period of silence, but Li Xiaoqian was actually unable to find the common topic of conversation between the two of them. A few half-grown children were running on the grass, chasing the black and white football. Cheers and laughter continuously broke through the air, ringing in her ears.
If she and Zhan Yan had a child, Li Xiaoqian's farce wouldn't have happened today. He knew very well that such things would happen in the future, and even if it wasn't Li Xiaoqian, Zhang Xiaoqian, and Wang Xiaoqian, they would still have a headache just thinking about it.
"Do you like children?" Li Xiaoqian followed his gaze and looked over, his gaze also stopping on the lush green lawn.
"Not bad." Ji Weiyang replied indifferently, the smoke between his fingers flickering.
"Do you like boys or girls?" Li Xiaoqian asked again.
Ji Weiyang did not answer and a faint melancholy flashed across his eyes. What he liked was only Zhan Yan and his children, boys and girls. As long as that child belonged to him and Zhan Yan.
Li Xiaoqian naturally didn't know what he was thinking, and said with great interest, "I like girls more, be considerate."
"Then what kind of girl do you like, Brother Vyanko? "Beautiful, smart, gentle, or …" she asked again.
"There is no reason for you to like someone. When you meet someone like that, you will understand." Ji Weiyang coldly interrupted her as he casually put out the cigarette butt on the tip of his finger. Let's go back. "
After he finished, she turned and walked into the courtyard first. Li Xiaoqian quietly gazed at his tall and big back, thinking, maybe she had already met him.
Before dusk, Li Jianguo and Li Xiaoqian took their leave. General Ji sent the two of them out of the villa as he smiled benevolently and instructed Li Xiaoqian to come and visit. Li Xiaoqian also agreed with a smile.
After sending the Li family father and daughter off, the General Ji called Ji Weiyang over to the study room with a cold expression. Su Ying carried the tea with the intention to hear it through the crack of the door as she received a cold stare from Ji Weixin. She tactfully served the tea and left.
Inside the study room, the General Ji went straight to the point, "What do you think about the Li family girl?"
"How about what?" Ji Weiyang laughed coldly, pretending to be confused.
General Ji squinted his sharp eyes and the corners of his eyes were filled with traces of old age. I think that girl is still pretty good. She's well-informed, smart and has a high education. In the future, your child will definitely be the right person to do so. "
Ji Weiyang coldly snorted. Listening to the old man's words, it seemed that he was not looking for a wife, but had found a genetic tool to give birth to children.
He was quiet as he heard the General Ji continue, "The Li family and the Ji Family are considered to be on par with each other, if your Uncle Li raises another level, you can sit on equal footing with me."
Ji Weiyang gave a light snort, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a slight smile of ridicule. The difference between the two ranks seemed like it was only at level one, but many people would never be able to reach that level in their entire lives. Moreover, the more news of promotion spread, the more unexpected the results would be.
"Dad, it's not like I'm involved in politics, so I don't need the Li family to add fuel to the fire. I'll take care of my own matters, don't force me to worry about it. "
General Ji was warm. "How old do you think I am to care about your matters? You didn't even have a child. Your mother had urged you to have one when you were still alive. If you want to blame something, blame it on the fact that you and Zhan Yan weren't fated for it. "Girl from the Li family, get along with me first. If you don't like her, there are many famous people in the clan, and there will always be someone you like."
"Dad." Just as Ji Weiyang was about to refute his words, his study was knocked on at the right time.
Su Ying pushed the door and entered, "Dad, Auntie Lu is here."
Ji Bocheng was slightly startled, his cold gaze swept across Ji Weiyang's body. This person really was coincidental.
Lu Manyun's arrival timely brought Ji Weiyang out of his predicament, and when she left, she lied that it was along the way, and also left together with Ji Weiyang.
The Land Rover drove steadily on the flat road. As Ji Weiyang drove, he said gently, "Aunt, thank you for helping us out this time."
"Of course not, I should be the one thanking you for taking care of Zhan Yan." Lu Manyun smiled gently, but it was hard to hide her worry. "Weiyang, this is not a solution, your father is a stubborn person, if you don't have children, he would never let Zhan Yan in."
No matter how much she begged back then, Ji Bocheng did not agree to anything. The reason he did not agree to things between Wei Yang and Angel was because Angel was powerless to give birth to children. If it were Zhan Yan, the outcome would still be the same.
Ji Weiyang laughed bitterly and replied, "I'll consider it after hiding for a bit longer. I plan to remarry Zhan Yan first, and we will talk about other things in the future."
Lu Manyun knew that he was planning to get rid of them first before making a move, but even if they were to remarry, they would still not be able to escape from the palm of Old Man Ji's hand. No matter how capable Ji Weiyang was, he still had to rely on the huge tree called Ji Family. Moreover, Wei Yang was a filial son. He couldn't possibly be stubborn and persistent with Ji Bocheng for his entire life, right?
"Vuyo, I have an idea." Vuyo, I have an idea.
Ji Weiyang turned his head, and waited quietly for her to continue.
Lu Manyun hesitated for a moment, but still followed suit, "The one missing between you and Zhan Yan is a child. First, follow your father's instructions to find an ordinary girl and marry her. Wait for the child to be born before getting a divorce." As long as you have a child, no matter who you want to live with in your life, your dad won't object too much. Even if he objects, I still have a way to convince him.
Hearing that, Ji Weiyang became silent. His deep gaze was focused on the road ahead, his handsome face was still, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
That's right, the only problem between him and Zhan Yan were the children. Just from this point, Lu Manyun's idea was indeed effective. However, if he really did that, to Zhan Yan, it would undoubtedly be a betrayal. Even if his goal was to be with Zhan Yan, but he had led a child that was born with another woman, how could Zhan Yan endure this? To Zhan Yan, this was not fair at all. Furthermore, bloodlines were a very subtle thing, enough to tie two unrelated people together. Once he had another child, his own mother would always be related to him. How would Zhan Yan be able to fend for herself by then?
No, he definitely could not do anything to harm Zhan Yan.
"Aunt, maybe this method is very effective, but I have no way to betray Zhan Yan."
After sending Lu Manyun off, Ji Weiyang drove his car straight into the villa at the top of the mountain. He stopped his car at the entrance of the villa and dialed Zhan Yan's number.
"You come out, I'll wait for you outside." It was a simple command that no one could refuse. After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Not long after, Zhan Yan walked out of the villa. She wore a milky-white household uniform, with a cloth handkerchief in her hair. She looked at him innocently with her pair of big eyes.
"What is it?" she asked, puzzled.
"Did you bring your ID?" he asked.
Zhan Yan shook his head, confused, "Why are you bringing all that?"
"Go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to remarry. Immediately, immediately."
