C16

Ji Xinqing returned to the ladies' reception area.

She saw Wang Jianfen, tonight's birthday star, sitting on the sofa in a circle.

A group of people sat there, chatting and laughing. The atmosphere was harmonious.

Having lived under the same roof with her mother-in-law Wang Jianfen for six years, Ji Xinqing was well aware of her temperament.

She knew Wang Jianfen didn't like her, so she didn't step forward to make herself look bad.

She scanned the living room, saw no sign of the housekeeper or Meng Qiran, and went upstairs.

The guests tonight were all rich ladies of the capital.

Wang Jianfen was originally a rich family.

She had climbed from the poor to this point, and she wanted to be part of the rich lady's circle.

"Well, Mrs. Sun, your skin has been getting better and better lately." Wang Jianfen praised a woman beside him.

Mrs. Sun smiled and gave her a polite compliment.

"No no, you're not bad too."

Someone had mentioned the child, and the conversation had shifted from skin care to children.

"My family's two are already seven years old. Aiyo, ever since they were born, my life has never been quiet. This family is being filled with smoke and smoke from them everyday, so it's impossible to control them."

"Sigh, that grandson of mine is the same as well. He's simply the lord of the Heavenly Court, but don't say it. Children are afraid of mothers. Every time I bring out their mother, they will obediently listen to me."

"It's a good thing that my family's granddaughter calls me grandma all day long. My heart has already melted."

"..."

The smile on Wang Jianfen's face could no longer hold.

Not only did she not have a grandson, but even her granddaughter was sick!

She was about to find an excuse to slip away when someone brought up the topic of conversation with her.

"Oh right, Madam Meng, I remember that you also have a granddaughter. Tonight, you are a longevity star, so why haven't I seen her around? Hurry up and bring her out for us big guy to see! "

Someone followed along and jeered, "That's right, Mrs. Meng. I just saw your son and daughter-in-law. They look pretty good. Your granddaughter must have inherited them. There's no need to hide it!"

Wang Jianfen smiled awkwardly and casually lied, "Oh, she caught a cold in the afternoon, but I didn't let her come down at night. She's just a little kid, she's too prone to getting sick."

Meng Yangshan was her shame. She had never revealed it to anyone.

However, one of the wives suddenly pointed to a certain place and said in surprise, "Oh, Mrs. Meng, that's your daughter-in-law. Is that the child she was leading your granddaughter?"

Everyone followed her gaze.

He saw Ji Xinqing bring a little girl down from upstairs.

The little girl looked clean and white. She was carved from the same mold as Ji Xinqing.

However, her expression was a bit strange.

Someone said in a low voice, "Hey, I heard that Madam Meng's granddaughter hasn't even said a single word. She seems to be mentally ill …"

Wang Jianfen's eyes twitched a few times.

Seeing Ji Xinqing walk towards her, and seeing the crowd gathered around her, she had to be more or less careful.

She forced a smile at Ji Xinqing and asked, "Xinqing, why did you bring her down?"

"Mom, Xiao Bu Shan hasn't finished eating yet, I brought her down to eat something."

The other wives immediately took the pastries from the table and passed them to Ji Xinqing, "Is this your daughter?"

Ji Xinqing nodded her head in thanks. Seeing the strange looks they gave each other, she gave a brief account of Meng Yangshan's condition.

As soon as the ladies heard about Meng Shan's condition, they all shook their heads and said a few words of regret.

"Ahh, such a cute girl. The heavens really have no eyes."

"..."

Wang Jianfen's expression turned uglier and uglier.

When she heard those regretful words, she only heard a hint of sarcasm.

The more she looked at Ji Xinqing, the worse she felt.

Ji Xinqing also noticed Wang Jianfen's displeasure and did not stay any longer. After feeding a few pastries to Xiao Qi Shan, she found an excuse to leave.

However, the atmosphere in the reception area was not as lively as before.

Wang Jianfen seemed to be able to hear them whispering behind his back.

But she still dealt with it politely.

At this moment, in the men's area.

Meng Qin arrived at the men's area and immediately saw the focal point of the crowd.

He was a man with an extraordinary temperament and appearance.

He had been working in the business world for a long time, so he was able to recognize a man with just a glance.

This was a business legend, Tang Jinyao.

I heard that when he was 28 years old, he took over from the Tang Clan.

At that time, he had just been pushed out by the Tang Clan and had not received much attention.

Everyone said that he was just a young master, how could he possibly support such a big family business?

However, in just a few short years, he had slapped everyone.

He had not only brought the Tang Clan to its peak, but he had also become a legend within the Imperial Capital.

The arrival of Tang Jin Yao had clearly shocked Meng QIngwen.

He had never expected that Meng Qinggrong would be able to get him to help!

Meng Qing-jie clearly knew what position the Meng Family Enterprise occupied in the imperial city.

Not a first-rate enterprise, at most a second-rate enterprise.

However, this kind of business was not even in Tang Jin's eyes.

Meng Qin Guan suddenly realized that he couldn't figure out what Tang Jin Yao was thinking.

However, he didn't want to waste this opportunity in vain.

It was said that those who had a relationship with the Tang Clan would go down the river their entire lives.

Since Tang Jinyao was willing to visit the Meng Clan, he must have given some face to Meng Qingrong.

Meng Qin Guan straightened his back, picked up another glass of wine, and walked up to Tang Jinyao.

He called out politely, "Mr. Tang."

Tang Jinyao glanced at him and raised an eyebrow haughtily, "You are …"

"Mr. Tang, this is Meng Qin Guan."

Tang Jinyao continued to stare at him in confusion, as if Meng Qin's name was unfamiliar to him.

Meng Qin's smile froze for a moment, but he then reminded, "Mr. Tang, you must have heard of my father, Meng Qingrong, right?"

Tang Jinyao furrowed his brows. It was clear that he had never heard of Meng Qingrong before.

Meng Qin Guan was at a loss for words by his reaction.

He had already come to the Meng family to be a guest, so he must have received an invitation from the Meng family. But what about it? He had never heard of the names of his father and himself before?

After a few seconds of silence, Tang Jinyao suddenly asked, "You are …" Miss Ji's husband? "

Miss Ji?

"Mr. Tang, are you talking about Xinqing? Ji Xinqing? "

Only then did Tang Jinyao break into a smile. "So, you're Miss Ji's husband?"

Ji Xinqing was his wife, but he called her Miss Ji. Meng Qin Guan felt uncomfortable.

However, what made him even more uncomfortable was that Tang Yao had only known him because of his wife.

This was simply hurting his self-esteem!

But as for who Tang Jinyao was, Meng Qin Guan didn't dare to act rashly in front of him. He only asked, "Mr. Tang, do you know my wife?"

Tang Jinyao narrowed his eyes and nodded his head. "What? Did Miss Ji not tell you that I'm the new sponsor of the Starry Night Corporation?"

Sponsor?

Meng Qin's expression changed several times.

He had never known that Ji Xinqing had such great ability, to actually find Tang Jinyao as a sponsor!
