Chapter 399： banquet prelude

The door was knocked open. Pei Jizhou and his eldest brother Pei Hongbing pushed open the door of Mrs. Pei. Seeing that there were many family members inside, and seeing her mother and daughter-in-law smiling happily, Pei Jizhou was also in a good mood. .

Pei Jizhou joked: "Could it be that Manqing is here to speak ill of me, to say something embarrassing about me? That makes my mother so happy?"

"You've wronged me! When did I say bad things about you?" Zhou Manqing gave her husband a white look, but the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't stop.

"What are you saying bad about you? We're talking about the girl I'an." The misunderstanding just now made Mrs. Gang Pei feel a little guilty, but when she started talking, she even changed her name for Qiao I'an. Get intimate.

Qiao Yian glanced at Mrs. Pei and knew that this was the other party's promotion of herself. She wanted to compensate herself, so she did not refuse.

After all, the misunderstanding just now wasn't a big deal.

The purpose of the old lady calling her so intimately is to make others dare not look down on her when she goes to the banquet, and she will try to be as good as possible to her.

For such a birthday party, eating and drinking is not the most important thing, but communication and connections are the most important.

"What about this girl?" About Qiao Yi'an's appearance was somewhat similar to his daughter's. Pei Jizhou felt a little cordial from the first sight of Qiao Yi'an, so he asked casually.

"What else can we say? Naturally, I praised the girl Yi'an for being obedient, sensible, and caring." Mrs. Pei chatted with her son, and naturally laughed from ear to ear.

"That's good. If you can get into the eyes of your mother, this girl is not for nothing. I was afraid that these juniors would be ignorant and make you unhappy!" Pei Jizhou said cheerfully.

"How can it be, old lady! I am happy every day."

Seeing the cheerfulness of his brother and mother, Pei Hongbing's serious expression softened a bit, "Mom, the banquet downstairs is ready, let's go over now. Let's help you."

"Help me! I'm in good health, why should I need your help?" Madam Pei closed the carved wooden box with the red jade peach in her hand and handed it to the nanny beside her. The other party brought a cane in his hand and stood up by herself. Pei Yayuan got up quickly and followed the old lady with great eyesight.

A group of people walked downstairs in such a mighty manner.

The old lady's birthday party was naturally lively, and it was a great opportunity to make friends, but Qiao Yian never intended to come to Kyoto City for development, nor did she want to get involved with the Pei family. Therefore, the old lady walked in front, and Qiao Ian walked in the back, waiting for the big army to go first.

Ye Lin only glanced at Qiao Yian, and walked with Zhou Manqing. The two sisters were talking and laughing, and they didn't care what happened to Qiao Yian. The mother and daughter seemed to have returned to their previous state.

"Cousin Yi'an, let's go." Pei Xing waited specially. He stood beside Qiao Yi'an and said in a low voice, "I don't like to go with so many people. We will slow down later."

"But I didn't see that the birthday peach was carved by your own hands. And I heard from the second aunt that you are also very good at gambling stones, is this true?" Pei Xing looked Qiao Yian up and down, and said with a smile: "If there is another betting conference next time, I will take you there. Hahahaha."

"Okay." Qiao Yian nodded politely.
