After Mr. Zhou announced this, the next step was naturally socializing. This time, Xie Jing accompanied Zhou Jiyun throughout the whole process. After walking around, Xie Jing felt that her face was stiff from smiling.

Because her current status and position are different, before the old man said those words, Zhou Jiyun was just a junior of the Zhou family. So as his wife, Xie Jing has to be more humble when interacting with everyone.

Because everyone present, except those who were not married, was older than her.

But now that Zhou Jiyun has become the head of the Zhou family, Xie Jing's status has also risen. Her social circle has also expanded further, directly upgrading to the level of Zhou Zhida and Mr. Zhou.

There is an old saying that goes, "A noble husband brings glory to his wife." This still makes sense.

After walking around the banquet hall, Zhou Jiyun and Xie Jing finally had some private space. Seeing Xie Jing's smile was a little tired, Zhou Jiyun rubbed Xie Jing's cheek and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Not bad," Xie Jing leaned against Zhou Jiyun without hesitation, letting him support her feet that had been tortured by high heels for a long time. "Occasions like this, once a month is enough. I can't handle more than that. It's too tiring."

Zhou Jiyun put his arm around her waist and said, "Don't worry, it won't be that frequent. Because this is a banquet hosted by the Zhou family, you need to attend more social events. In the future, we will probably attend banquets as guests."

Xie Jing thought about it and said, "That's good too. I saw your second uncle was about to say something, but Grandpa stopped him."

Zhou Jiyun nodded: "Well, he wanted to use this opportunity to announce the news of Zhou Jiwen and Shen Yaozhi's marriage, but Grandpa disagreed, saying that it was too hasty and not formal enough. If he really wants to get married, we can just hold an engagement party."

He patted Xie Jing's back and said, "I'm sorry I couldn't book a wedding banquet for you, and the wedding was so hastily planned."

Xie Jing could understand: "With your parents gone, naturally no one will plan for you. It's not your fault. Besides, you've done very well before, so I shouldn't ask too much of you."

Looking back now, Xie Jing felt that she was a little too pretentious when she talked about the wedding with Zhou Jiyun last night.

Zhou Jiyun held her hand tightly: "Jingjing, don't say that. It makes me anxious. If you don't have any requirements for your lover, then marriage is too cold and heartless."

"Many people say that even after marriage, you should be independent and rely on yourself. But if you still rely on yourself for everything in a marriage, then is there any need for your husband to exist?"

"So feel free to ask for anything you want. The more you ask of me, the happier I am, because I know you need me, and that makes me feel at ease."

Xie Jing felt a little sad. She knew Zhou Jiyun had a strong sense of insecurity. Sometimes Xie Jing felt that they were like the wrong script, and Zhou Jiyun was always the one who was worried about the outcome.

And she seemed to have taken the male lead's script.

"Okay, I will definitely make more requests in the future." Xie Jing was also happy to pamper Zhou Jiyun. Every couple has a different way of getting along, and there is no established rule. As long as both parties accept it, that is enough.

"But then again, what do you require of me? Because this is mutual." After looking at the clinking of glasses in the banquet hall, Xie Jing withdrew her gaze and looked at Zhou Jiyun.

Zhou Jiyun said without hesitation: "I don't have any other requirements, as long as you are always by my side. If I have to say, I hope you are always happy."

Xie Jing sighed. She stood on tiptoe and touched Zhou Jiyun's hair, like she was touching a big dog. "I know. If you do this... I will easily become spoiled."

"No, I'm the only one who gets spoiled because of my favor." Zhou Jiyun nuzzled Xie Jing's noses affectionately. "The banquet will be over soon. I'll have to trouble you to help me see the guests off."

"Husband and wife are one. These are my responsibilities. How can I call them hard work?" Xie Jing curled her lips into a faint smile. "Nowadays, many people only want to enjoy the sweetness of being pampered by their husbands, but are unwilling to shoulder the responsibilities that belong to a wife. I personally disagree with this."

"You have your responsibilities, and I have mine. Only when both sides fulfill their respective responsibilities can we maintain long-term harmony. We are not just husband and wife, but also comrades fighting side by side. If a family relies on only one person, problems will arise sooner or later."

There is no man who would not feel warm when hearing this. It is very rare to have someone to share the burden and face the ups and downs with you.

Seeing the two of them smiling at each other, Liu Limin clenched the cup in her hand angrily. At this moment, there was a "ding" sound, and Liu Limin looked over.

Fang Qin raised her cup and smiled at her, "You're Jingjing's mother, right? We only met briefly twice at the wedding and didn't sit down to chat. Mrs. Xie, do you have time to come out for tea?"

Liu Limin was stunned for a moment, then slowly smiled. She clinked glasses with Fang Qin and said, "I'm delighted."

"What bad thing is he planning again?" Xie Jing couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly when she saw this scene.

Zhou Jiyun was also very calm: "It's normal. I have the impression that they have never helped us."

Even when Xie Jing got into trouble later, the Xie family never investigated. Now, looking at Liu Limin and Fang Qin talking and laughing, I know that when these two get together, there will be no good.

"When your cousin and the Shen family get married, if they hold an engagement banquet, I won't have to take care of it, right?" Xie Jing had already thought about the future. If Zhou Zhida's family behaved well, Xie Jing wouldn't mind helping.

But now it is obvious that Zhou Zhida's family wants to compete with Zhou Jiyun, and Xie Jing is not willing to get involved in this matter.

Zhou Jiyun: "No need for you, his own parents are here, why would he need help from his cousin from the next room? I'm just worried that the outside world will compare you two, after all, she has the Shen family behind her to support her."

Xie Jing didn't care: "Even if there is the Shen family, you are the one who makes the decisions about the Zhou family. Even if she marries Zhou Jiwen, she still has to call me sister-in-law."

Zhou Jiyun: "I just don't want you to be wronged, because there is indeed a lot of public opinion. After they got married, the media always compared you and Shen Yaozhi together."

Xie Jing truly didn't care. "If you blindly live in the comments and opinions of others, you'll only tire yourself out in the end. To avoid being judged by others in the future, why don't we work hard and quickly suppress your second uncle's family..."

Zhou Jiyun was amused: "Okay, I will try to suppress them as soon as possible so that they will never dare to jump in front of you again."

How could Liu Limin have known that Xie Jing and Zhou Jiyun had seen all of her and Fang Qin's cheerful conversation? As the party was about to end, she reluctantly made plans with Fang Qin to go out for tea and shopping another day.

What she didn't know was that as soon as she left, Fang Qin's face darkened.

"Idiot!" Fang Qin said slowly, pulling out a wet towel. After talking to Liu Limin for a few words, she realized that Liu Limin was much dumber than Xie Jing.
