"This is normal. This is a big deal." Yun Xu suddenly appeared from behind the two of them. "There are too many people at home today. Obviously, we can't accommodate them at home. I've already booked a hotel. Let's go to the hotel for dinner later."

This was the official meeting between the two families. Compared with the previous visit to the Xie family, this one was more formal and grand. Although Zhou Jiyun and Xie Jing were already husband and wife, the necessary procedures were still necessary.

Xie Jing finally looked at the gift list and was stunned. Not to mention that Grandpa Cheng had added quite a few more items later, all of which were antiques from famous artists.

Zhou Jiyun teased: "I told you, Jingjing is the richest in the family."

Xie Jing stuffed the gift list into Zhou Jiyun's hands: "Yes, you will need to take care of these in the future."

"It's my honor," Zhou Jiyun put away the gift list, "I'm working for Jingjing now, waiting for Jingjing to give me some pocket money."

"So you have to behave well," Xie Jing scratched his chin, "and there will be rewards if you behave well."

Zhou Jiyun's eyes lit up. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he put his chin on Xie Jing's shoulder and said, "I don't want any other rewards. Let's study the course together?"

Xie Jing was puzzled: "What course?"

Zhou Jiyun tapped her phone and said, "It would be a shame if we didn't learn the courses sent by your classmate Wang Cancan."

Xie Jing pinched him and said, "Don't say these things in public."

"Isn't there no one here?" Zhou Jiyun complained, "It's just the two of us. They can't hear us. Everyone's attention is too focused on socializing and not paying attention to us."

It was quite interesting to think about it. They were the two parties involved, but they had the least free time. Now they were openly hiding in a corner of the banquet hall, whispering, as if they were separated from the banquet hall into two small worlds.

Xie Jing felt relieved and unceremoniously placed her weight on Zhou Jiyun's arm: "This is also good, quiet."

Zhou Jiyun sighed: "Yes, the only regret at this moment is that grandpa and his family didn't come, but the flaws don't outweigh the merits."

Xie Jing patted his arm: "Maybe they are too old to fly long distances."

Zhou Jiyun lowered his eyes to look at her: "Are you unhappy?"

"A little bit, but it's not because of you." Xie Jing raised her hand and brushed the black hair off his forehead. "I just felt sorry for you. You were only fourteen back then, still a child."

"I know your grandparents are heartbroken, but you're also a victim. Even though your last name is Zhou, you're their daughter's bloodline after all. They've been so cruel to ignore you all these years."

Zhou Jiyun hugged Xie Jing and listened to her quietly: "I know they want to escape from this sad place, and I know that grandpa's behavior back then hurt them, but that has nothing to do with you."

"I'm just sad that no one has ever stood firmly by your side, no one has ever accompanied you through the darkest times."

Zhou Jiyun hugged Xie Jing's arm very tightly, almost rubbing her into his chest: "My Jingjing is the most steadfast lover in the world. No matter what others think, you are the only one who always favors me."

"It's clear that you didn't have a good life in the Xie family before, and your growth process was not smooth, but after we met, you took care of me in every way."

"I really must have accumulated several lifetimes of luck to have you standing by my side today."

Xie Jing smiled: "After seeing the true colors of Xie Xuerong and Liu Limin, I certainly felt pain for a while. But after that, they were not that important to me. But you are different."

"Only when you've had something will you feel more painful after losing it. I've never had it, so I don't have that much obsession with it. Although after finding my parents, I think having family is also good."

"You blame your grandparents because you feel that as a member of the Zhou family, Zhou Zhida has done such a heinous thing." Xie Jing turned in his arms and held Zhou Jiyun's cheek: "This is not your fault."

"You were only half a teenager back then. Don't punish yourself for other people's mistakes. Likewise, don't blame yourself for other people's mistakes."

"Yeah, I understand." Zhou Jiyun's eyes were red with tears in them, and his voice was hoarse: "I'm not that fond of crying."

Xie Jing leaned forward and kissed the side of his face: "I know you didn't cry during such a touching moment during the day. You only break down in front of me. I understand everything."

Zhou Jiyun responded sullenly: "You are the only one who understands me the best, that's great."

Xie Jing wrapped her arms around his waist: "Okay, don't be sad anymore, let's talk about something else?"

Zhou Jiyun didn't let her go: "What do you want to talk about? I don't want to talk about others at this time. Just the two of us are enough."

"That won't work," Xie Jing looked up at him, "After all, we're in the living room, and I don't want everyone staring at us."

"Okay, let's go back and get intimate tonight." Zhou Jiyun also knew that Xie Jing was shy, so he let go of Xie Jing. Zhou Jiyun said softly, "I'm a little surprised that Zhou Jida didn't come this time."

“But I can understand it.”

Xie Jing: "I understand. Zhou Jida's identity is not glorious after all. Grandpa has always valued his reputation. He would definitely not bring Zhou Jida to such an occasion."

Zhou Jiyun chuckled: "I thought you would be unhappy when grandpa gave me the custody of Zhou Jida when we divided the family property."

Xie Jing sighed, "I'm not happy, but I can't really let him work for Fang Qin, right? She's not a kind person. As long as you don't feel sad when facing him, I have no objection to anything else."

"No, having you by my side has already wiped away all my sadness and regrets." Zhou Jiyun took her hand and held Xie Jing's fingers tightly: "As long as you are here, I can bear everything."

"And I also have my own selfish motives," he said, raising an eyebrow. "That kid Zhou Jida is a bit lawless at heart. Although I don't like him, if his custody really falls into Fang Qin's hands, Fang Qin will be the only one who will be killed by him."

"Rather than watching him get into trouble in the future, it's better to keep him under my watch. At least when I'm watching him, he knows how to restrain himself."

Xie Jing smiled and said, "I know your parents have taught you well. Aren't you afraid that others will say you are a saint?"

"Just say it, I don't care," Zhou Jiyun grumbled in a super green tea manner, "As long as you don't feel that way, that's enough."

Xie Jing patted his shoulder: "Of course I don't think you are too kind. In fact, as long as Zhou Jida doesn't do anything to hurt you, I have no objection to his existence."

"But I think with his erratic personality, if he's left alone in S City with no one watching over him, there's no telling what he'll do."
