Chapter 142 143 Wedding Banquet, Unexpected Guests (Update 2)
On the other end of the phone, the voice was very respectful, "Master Chen, I'm just about to leave."
"Okay, I'll send you the address." Director Chen said to him and hung up the phone.
It's just that he didn't have any extra invitations.
Director Chen didn't contact Xu En, but only sent a message to Bai Xi to ask about the invitations.
Bai Xi was in class now, so he didn't dare to call Bai Xi.
One minute later.
Miss Bai: [1]
After waiting for a reply, Director Chen started the car and left.
**
Bai Xi, Ning Xiao and the other two didn't leave until nearly ten o'clock.
"Where are you going?" Wang Xu didn't know that they were leaving early, "Today is the last day."
"Something." Tang Ming was the spokesperson for the other two. He patted Wang Xu's shoulder, "Go to the wedding, remember to give us the screen recording."
"Okay." Wang Xu nodded heavily, he patted his chest, "Today's lecture is about physics, Pei Qin's strong point, I will let him prepare it for you."
"Thank you." Tang Ming hit his arm.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Bai Xi and Ning Xiao walking away, and immediately grabbed his schoolbag to chase after them.
Chang'an District and Yunxiao Hotel are separated by Xingjiang District. If there is a traffic jam, it may take more than an hour to get there.
When they went downstairs, Jiang Fuli and Jiang He were already waiting in the car.
"Teacher Jiang." Seeing Jiang Fuli, Tang Ming and Ning Xiao automatically tightened their backs.
"Yeah." Jiang Fuli responded casually, then looked at Bai Di: "Going back tonight?"
"Yes," Bai Di had already packed her things, she leaned lazily on the back of the chair, and talked to Jiang Fuli, "I have to rush back before the New Year, it's a bit rushed."
It takes about half a day to fly from Jiangjing to Beicheng, and it takes 12 hours to take a train from Beicheng to Xiangcheng.
Xu En initially wanted to let the Ji family celebrate the New Year here.
But Ji Heng and Ji Shaojun disagreed.
Not to mention them, Ning Xiao and Tang Ming also have to rush back to celebrate the New Year, and they have no relatives in Jiangjing.
There are many people today, and Jiang Fuli asked someone to drive an extended executive car.
Bai Xi sat in the same row with him. There was a booth behind them. Jiang He and Ning Xiao were sitting in the back eating fruit.
When Jiang He, who was fed grapes by Tang Ming, heard Bai Xi say that he was going back, he immediately crawled over and lay down behind Jiang Fuli's seat, staring at Bai Xi.
Jiang Fuli pushed him away with a finger.
Jiang Fuli put his fingertips on the binder, but he didn't turn any pages. He just calculated the time calmly, "There's no need to rush."
"But there's not enough time."
The Boyuan base also ended today.
Their flight to Beicheng is at nine o'clock in the evening. They will catch the train from Beicheng tomorrow morning and will arrive in Xiangcheng in the evening.
Jiang Fuli tapped the binder from time to time. His eyebrows were cold and his voice was clear. "We'll leave at six o'clock tomorrow morning. I just need to go back to the laboratory."
Bai Xi: "..."
That's really just in time.
She slowly took out her cell phone and called Xu Wenyao.
It took Xu Wenyao a minute to answer the call, "Hello, A-Ti, I didn't hear you because of the noise. Have you arrived yet?" "
Not yet," Bai-Ti said calmly, "I have another guest here, but I don't have an invitation. Can you help me check it when the time comes?"
"No invitation, what's his name?" Xu Wenyao asked.
"His surname is Shen, and his name is Shen Min."
Xu Wenyao wrote down the name on a sticky note, "Okay, I got it."
**
Yunxiao Hotel, wedding scene.
Ji Mulan got married from the hotel, went around to Xu En's new house, and then returned to the hotel for the wedding scene
At this time, guests arrived one after another, and Xu En and Xu Wenyao were outside to welcome the guests.
Xu En invited all the employees in Jiangjing to the scene, plus some friends, classmates, and relatives in the industry, hundreds of people in total. Even if he started welcoming guests at nine o'clock, he would have to receive three or four people a minute, and it would take three hours.
The hotel was obviously very good at handling such a large occasion, with twenty hostesses and dozens of waiters, so it didn't seem that busy.
Old Mrs. Xu didn't come late either.
She arrived at the wedding scene at ten o'clock, and was supported by Butler Xu, and sat majestically at the head seat of the wedding table under the stage.
Ji Mulan was putting on makeup in the back, and when she heard that Old Mrs. Xu was here, she came over to
greet her. She was surprised and embarrassed, "Old lady, why are you here?"
She thought that Old Mrs. Xu would not come today.
Mrs. Xu's face was wrinkled deeply, exuding an aura that made people dare not look directly at her. She did not return to Ji Mulan, but looked around, "Haven't you seen anyone yet?" She
came so early just to wait for Bai Ti.
This day was so lively and the scene was so grand, Mrs. Xu thought that Bai Ti and the others would come very early, so she came early.
Butler Xu glanced at Ji Mulan and bowed respectfully, "No."
Ji Mulan knew Mrs. Xu's attitude a long time ago, and she didn't care. If Mrs. Xu really accepted her so easily, she would think there was something fishy.
"Old lady." Someone from the Xu clan came over from the opposite side to greet Old Lady Xu, and then looked at Ji Mulan, "Congratulations."
Old Lady Xu looked at the other party and said lightly, "Uncle, just sit here. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's chat."
Uncle Xu of the Xu family looked at the main table and hesitated, "This..."
Old Lady Xu looked down and saw the sign "Table for parents of the groom and bride" in the middle of the table. She raised her eyes and gave Butler Xu a look, and Butler Xu immediately removed the two signs.
Replaced with "Gentleman's Table".
And replaced it with "Girl's Table" on the lower table of this table.
"Sit." Old Lady Xu looked at her uncle, and her uncle did not hesitate this time, and sat on the man's table with a smile.
There is nothing to hesitate about.
If this was the Qi family, the Xu family would definitely treat it with caution.
But, now it's the Ji family...
Old lady Xu and the others all know who Ji Mulan is. It's really embarrassing for Ji Mulan's father to sit at the same table with Old lady Xu.
Ji Mulan pursed her lips and stood aside.
Coincidentally, Ji Heng, Ji Shaojun and others just arrived at the wedding scene.
Hearing that this is the bride's relative and Ji Heng is the father of the bride, the etiquette lady took Ji Heng to Old lady Xu's table, while Ji Shaojun and Shen Qing sat at the table at the back.
Ji Heng was holding a tobacco bag. Today he was wearing a black robe with a blessing character on it, which was quite festive. Compared with the Xu family members who were wearing exquisite dresses, his aura was not inferior. Old
lady Xu lowered her head, and she was spinning a string of Buddhist beads in her right hand. Her face was indifferent and she didn't even lift her eyelids.
"Excuse me," Butler Xu smiled and turned the sign on the table over, pointing it at Ji Heng and the etiquette lady, "This is the men's table, the women's table is in the back."
He pointed at Ji Shaojun's table and spoke politely.
"But..." Ji Mulan did not choose a Chinese wedding. Her hair was just half-tied up and her face was a little dark. She wanted to say something to Butler Xu. She
was stopped by Ji Heng, "It's okay."
Ji Heng turned around and sat next to Ji Shaojun, raised his chin towards Ji Mulan, "You go and do your work, no need to tell Xu En."
Ji Shaojun was reminding Ji Heng, "Dad, your cell phone is ringing."
The scene was noisy, Ji Heng could not hear the music, and Ji Shaojun saw the cell phone in his pocket was lighting up.
Ji Heng took out his old cell phone. It was Director Chen. "Hello, little Chen."
"Uncle Ji," Director Chen on the other end of the phone was still driving. "I'm going to be there soon. I didn't come with Miss Bai."
"Okay," Ji Heng lit up his cigarette bag and took a puff with his eyes narrowed. "We're all here."
Ji Mulan looked at Ji Heng sitting at the second table, and then looked at Mrs. Xu's attitude.
She felt very upset.
"Go back." Shen Qing looked at Ji Mulan cautiously. In fact, Shen Qing knew how much he was worth. The seats arranged by the Ren family were even more excessive than today.
**
Outside the door.
Xu En was still receiving guests. Xu Shujie was looking at the list beside him. When she turned to the Qi family, her face changed slightly and she whispered in Xu En's ear, "No one from the Qi family came. Neither Shuyun nor Mrs. Qi saw it."
Qi Shuyun and Xu Wenyao were all seen.
Everyone thought that Qi Shuyun would marry into the Xu family in the future. This time when Xu En remarried, Mr. Qi would not come, but Qi Shuyun and Mrs. Qi had agreed to be there.
After all, it was also a big deal for Xu En.
Hearing this, Xu En received the guests calmly while talking to Xu Shujie, "It should be about Wen Yao."
"Should we ask Wen Yao to call Shuyun?" Xu Shujie was a little worried, "If Madam Qi doesn't come, then don't come. As for Shuyun..."
"No need," Xu En was very firm, "If they don't come, then don't come."
Seeing Xu En was so firm, Xu Shujie took out her cell phone and sent a message to Shuyun -
[Shuyun, the wedding is about to start]
The other party didn't reply immediately.
Xu Shujie sighed.
Just as she was about to say something, she looked up and saw a man in his forties wandering around the reception area. She hurried forward, "District Chief Shen? Why are you here?"
"Hello," District Chief Shen didn't know Xu Shujie, but he had met Xu En and was very polite, "Mr. Xu, so this is your wedding, congratulations."
Xu Shujie turned her head to look at Xu En in shock.
No, Xu En invited the district chiefs of their Mingfeng District?
Did the Xu family secretly become stronger when she wasn't paying attention?
Xu En was also startled by District Chief Shen. He put down what he was doing and said, "District Chief Shen, are you here on official business?"
Their family had no connection with the political world and didn't have this channel.
Xu En was also confused.
At this time, Xu Wenyao came over with a sticky note and said to Xu Shujie and Xu En, "Dad, Auntie said that they have another guest named Shen, Shen Min, a man. I didn't see him here, you and aunt should pay attention."
Xu Shujie and Xu En didn't react yet.
"That's me," Shen Min raised his eyes and nodded slightly to President Xu, "I don't have any official business today, I'm here to attend the wedding banquet. I'm here abruptly and I'm disturbing you, President Xu."
Thank you for the tickets, hehe, it's a little late, see you tomorrow~
