Wen Ran got into Shang Jingchi's car. The car was driving very fast and the scenery outside the window flashed by.
"Where are we going?" Wen Ran turned and asked Shang Jingchi.
Shang Jingchi looked straight ahead. "It's still early. I'll take you back to the villa and pick you up for the dinner at six in the afternoon."
Wen Ran originally wanted to go back to the company first, but when she heard Shang Jingchi say that he would take her to the dinner party, she took back her words.
He replied, "Okay."
Tonight will be her first time to attend a dinner with Shang Jingchi. Thinking of this, she inexplicably feels a sense of anticipation.
"Xu Yuan told me that it was me who agreed for you to go to Huanyin Company with Jiang Yiyi. When did I agree?" Shang Jingchi suddenly asked.
Wen Ran laughed dryly twice, then started to make up a story, "You agreed to it yourself in my dream last night."
Shang Jingchi glanced at Wen Ran, then turned his head and looked forward.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he said nothing more.
…
Seven o'clock in the evening.
The entire Yuchun Garden was brightly lit, with red water caltrops and red lanterns hanging above each door.
After getting off the car, Wen Ran was surprised to see everything in front of her. She originally thought she would go to the hotel for a dinner.
"Walk!"
Shang Jingchi naturally took Wen Ran's hand and walked inside along the makeshift red carpet.
Wen Ran was wearing a white square-necked long-sleeved dress. The dress was slim-fitting, making her look slim and lively.
This was also the most conservative of the three dresses Wen Ran had chosen.
Originally, she wanted to wear a peach pink round-neck backless dress, but Shang Jingchi insisted that she change before leaving, so she wore this one.
Wen Ran followed Shang Jingchi's steps and went straight into the villa hall.
The hall is beautifully decorated, and the words "Recognition Banquet" in the center of the wall are particularly eye-catching.
In addition, there are many antique calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, any one of which is a priceless treasure.
Wen Ran looked around, marveling at the value of this villa.
At this time, they passed by several nannies carrying plates and heard them respectfully shouting to Shang Jingchi: "The young master is back."
Wen Ran suddenly withdrew his gaze and looked at the nannies.
They called Shang Jingchi "Master"? He's back?
Shang Jingchi stopped in his tracks and spoke to the woman in front of him, "Mom, I brought Ranran back."
Wen Ran also stopped and after seeing the lady in front of Shang Jingchi, his mind went blank.
What is going on?
"Are you Xiaochi's girlfriend?" Lin Shurong looked at Wen Ran with scrutiny.
She was wearing a crimson antique cheongsam and an imperial green jade necklace.
But because she is too thin, she can't hold up her clothes and looks less noble and dignified.
Wen Ran was speechless for a long time.
Her mind was in a mess and she had no idea what was happening.
Shang Jingchi had told her a few days ago that he would bring her to the dinner party, but he never said they would go back to his own home.
As it stands, it all feels a lot like a boyfriend bringing his girlfriend home to meet his parents.
But when did she and Shang Jingchi develop that kind of relationship?
"Hmm?" Shang Jingchi tilted his head and looked at Wen Ran, his eyes seemed to be questioning why Wen Ran didn't speak.
Wen Ran opened his mouth and was stunned for a few seconds before he said to Lin Shurong in a daze, "Hello, Auntie."
Lin Shurong's face was stern and solemn, and she did not respond.
Wen Ran vaguely felt that Lin Shurong was difficult to get along with and seemed to dislike him very much.
At this time, Shang Jingchi spoke to Lin Shurong again seriously, "Mom, I plan to have a wedding with Ranran after the New Year."
When Wen Ran heard this, it was as if thunder had exploded above his head. "What did you say?" The voice was unexpectedly loud.
"Don't worry, we will definitely get engaged first." Shang Jingchi lowered his head and assured Wen Ran.
He would not fail to provide Wen Ran with any of the necessary ceremonies.
Wen Ran was completely frozen, and she couldn't even hear the voices of the guests around her talking.
"No, your marriage is not a trivial matter. You still need your grandmother's consent."
Lin Shurong spoke in a harsh tone and with a cold expression.
As soon as she finished speaking, Shang Jingchi said, "Whether grandma agrees or not, I will definitely marry Ranran next year." His tone was very firm.
She held Wen Ran's hand a little tighter, as if telling Wen Ran to rest assured.
During the stalemate, a burst of strong laughter came from not far away.
"Hahaha my dear grandson is back~"
Jiang Zhuoyu had white medium-curly hair and walked towards this side with brisk steps. He looked very energetic and did not look like an old man at all.
Wen Ran looked in the direction of the voice and felt that the old lady who came over looked very familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere.
Jiang Zhuoyu walked up to Shang Jingchi, patted his arm happily, and showed his teeth.
"You little bastard, I've told you so many times, but you're finally willing to bring your girlfriend home to show us."
As he spoke, Jiang Zhuoyu turned his gaze to Wen Ran, and half a second later, his eyes suddenly widened.
Pointing at Wen Ran, he kept repeating, "You, you, you are, you..."
"You are Grandma Jiang!" Wen Ran exclaimed.
If Wen Ran had not seen Jiang Zhuoyu's facial features clearly, he would not have dared to imagine that the gorgeously dressed old lady in front of him would be the Grandma Jiang who used to hold basins and distribute watermelons to the children in the welfare home in Beijing.
Jiang Zhuoyu's face already bears the marks of time, but this does not affect her beauty at all.
Her exquisite makeup and fair skin make her look more noble and elegant.
Jiang Zhuoyu pushed Shang Jingchi away and took Wen Ran's hand.
With a smile of surprise in his eyes, he kept saying, "Good, good, good! Good! That's great!"
Ever since Jiang Zhuoyu met Wen Ran in the welfare home, he has wanted to introduce Wen Ran to Shang Jingchi many times.
Helplessly, Shang Jingchi said that he already had a girlfriend, so Jiang Zhuoyu had to give up the matter.
Unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, Shang Jingchi brought her back to Yuchunyuan, still as his girlfriend.
Jiang Zhuoyu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
Shang Jingchi was confused, "Grandma, do you know each other?"
Jiang Zhuoyu winked at Wen Ran, and Wen Ran told her about their acquaintance at the welfare home.
Jiang Zhuoyu was so happy that he almost lost his sight. He echoed, "Yes, yes, yes! It's such a coincidence!"
Lin Shurong on the side looked a little unhappy.
"Mom, Xiaochi plans to get married next year. I think it's too hasty." Lin Shurong suddenly spoke.
"Urgent?" Jiang Zhuoyu suppressed his smile and asked in a reproachful tone, "What's the hurry? Not at all. The sooner the better. As long as the two children are willing, I can hold an engagement party for them tomorrow!"
Every word Jiang Zhuoyu spoke was steady, powerful and resounding.
After she finished speaking, she pulled Wen Ran aside and put on a smile that looked as sweet as honey.
"My dear granddaughter-in-law, come with grandma. Grandma will take you to my room."
Wen Ran didn't know what Jiang Zhuoyu was going to do, and looked at Shang Jingchi for help.
Shang Jingchi raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Go!"
