As early as when Zhou Jiyun and Xie Jing appeared outside the banquet hall, the old man put on his reading glasses and followed the two of them closely with his eyes.

The two of them talked in low voices all the way. It was obviously a normal conversation, but in the eyes of the old man, it was a sign of the good relationship between the young couple.

The smile on the old man's face grew wider and wider. Although his eldest grandson was usually gentle and always had a smiling face, the old man could tell at a glance whether he was really happy or just putting on a facade.

He was really happy to marry the girl in front of him. If the tail could be materialized, the old man seemed to be able to see Zhou Jiyun's tail swinging wildly behind his butt.

"Grandpa, please have some tea." Under the guidance of the host, Xie Jing took the tea brought by the waiter and handed it to the old man with both hands.

Mr. Zhou took the tea and took a sip. "Okay, okay. This jewelry suits you very well. Ji Yun is a caring person. His grandmother will be relieved when she sees this."

Xie Jing glanced at Zhou Jiyun, then looked directly at the old man and said, "I am also honored to be able to wear grandma's favorite jewelry. It is also for grandma to witness our happiness and let her know that he is doing well, and we are doing well too."

Just because Zhou Jiyun defended her today and gave her such a big face, Xie Jing couldn't say anything bad about Zhou Jiyun in a bad way. Therefore, in front of the old man, Xie Jing had to continue playing the role of a loving couple even if she felt uncomfortable.

The old man's mood improved. Seeing this, the housekeeper brought over a tray with a bank card and two property deeds on it. "Ji Yun's wedding was rushed, and you were wronged. This is your compensation. He is young and impulsive. If he does anything wrong in the future, just tell me and I will teach him a lesson for you!"

Xie Jing raised the corners of her lips slightly: "Thank you, Grandpa. Ji Yun...if he bullies me, I will tell you."

When Xie Jing mentioned Zhou Jiyun's name, she felt her lips were a little hot, but she still read out Zhou Jiyun's name.

Hearing Xie Jing call his name, Zhou Jiyun narrowed his eyes slightly, and even rubbed his fingers along the seam of his pants. Just calling his name could make his heart surge like this...

Old Master Zhou smiled and said, "That's the best. It's not easy for you young couple. You are lucky to become a family. I hope you can support each other and accompany each other for the rest of your lives."

Xie Jing's nose felt a little sour when she heard Mr. Zhou say that it hadn't been easy for either of them. Over the years, others only saw her glamorous appearance and knew that she was the eldest daughter of the Xie family. In fact, how many people could see the pain in her heart?

Now that the old man had pointed it out to her face, Xie Jing felt aggrieved. She had endured too much over the years, from the embarrassment of being pushed out for an arranged marriage to the injustice of being ignored by her family.

But she always hid her emotions. She sniffed while looking down, and when she looked up again, she put on a genuine smile: "I know, Grandpa."

Seeing Xie Jing smiling at Grandpa like that, Zhou Jiyun couldn't help but feel a little jealous. From the time he picked up the bride until now, Xie Jing had rarely smiled at him. Her expressions were mostly surprised, cautious, and careful.

Zhou Jiyun held Xie Jing's hand and promised earnestly, "Don't worry, Grandpa. We will take care of each other and care about each other. We will definitely grow old together like you and grandma did."

His language is very simple, even plain to the point of being straightforward. But at this moment, there is no need for fancy words or excessive quibbling about words. All that is needed is the expression of true feelings.

Old Master Zhou couldn't help but wipe away his tears. He smiled self-deprecatingly, "As people get older, they cry more. I'm done here. You two should go and get ready. There are still many procedures to go through."

Zhou Jiyun leaned forward slightly: "Okay, then let's go back to the lounge to prepare."

Xie Jing followed Zhou Jiyun and bowed slightly: "Grandpa, we will be gone for a while."

After the two men and the groomsmen left the banquet hall, people started talking again.

"It seems like something is really wrong with the Xie family. The eldest daughter is getting married, but there isn't even a bridesmaid. The bride is all alone."

"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Xie family is not sociable... and doesn't have many friends... This shouldn't be the fault of the Xie family, right?"

"Whether you like socializing or not is another matter. Don't wedding companies have professional bridesmaids these days? It's just a matter of spending some money..."

"Look at Mr. Zhou, he's very satisfied with the bride."

"Of course. Didn't you see that Mr. Zhou's eyes were all on the bride?"

"That being said, what about that rumor about Mr. Zhou? Doesn't he say he remained chaste for his first love?"

"It's just a rumor. Who can tell whether it's true or not?"

The people discussing the matter glanced at Zhou Zhida, Fang Qin, and Zhou Jiwen, who were standing behind Old Man Zhou, with a somewhat subtle look in their eyes. Whether these rumors were true or not, to put it bluntly, that was the truth.

Listening to everyone's discussions, the Xie family's relatives could only clench their glasses and force a smile on their faces. They had arrived at the hotel early, hoping to socialize before the wedding banquet.

Xie Xuerong and Liu Liming both looked unhappy. They arrived a little earlier than Zhou Jiyun because Zhou Jiyun and his family's wedding car was delayed on the road for a while. As a result, Xie Xuerong and Liu Liming, who set off later, arrived first.

Liu Liming was so angry at Zhou Jiyun's emphasis on Xie Jing that she felt dizzy. Especially after hearing what Mr. Zhou said about Xie Jing's difficult life before, Liu Liming felt even more embarrassed.

The old man said this, isn't it obvious that she is treating her eldest daughter unfairly? Even if she pushed her eldest daughter out for marriage, wasn't that forced by the situation?

Even if the dowry she prepared for Xie Jing was small, the family was in this situation now. How come no one could see her difficulties?

But Liu Liming really didn't dare to leave at this time. In this way, Liu Liming could only swallow her anger. Little did she know that if she left like this, others would think she was a bit bloody.

Fortunately, Mr. Zhou didn't say anything later. After Zhou Jiyun and Xie Jing went to the lounge to touch up their makeup, Xie Xuerong and his wife's complexion gradually returned to normal. Now they also raised their glasses and started socializing.

Although the guests didn't think much of these two people, now that they had become Zhou Jiyun's father-in-law and mother-in-law, everyone still gave them some face. In a trance, Liu Liming seemed to have regained some of the dignity she had when she was Mrs. Xie.

At that time, the Xie family hadn't been struggling financially, and Liu Limin was a central figure among the wealthy families of her level. But because of problems at her family's company, no one paid attention to her social life anymore.

In the lounge, looking at Zhou Jiyun who was guarding the door, Xie Jing was a little confused: "Your lounge is next door."
