Chapter 115 Being Ignored
Weren't we chatting just now? Why did he suddenly become so distant from her?
She opened her mouth and was about to speak when Chen Yan spoke up, "Don't stand there, come in and sit down."
She extended her hand affectionately to Gu Xixi in Aunt Li's arms, her eyes full of kindness, "Auntie, can you hold Xiao Xian?"
Gu Xixi looked around, her big eyes blinking, as if she was examining the smiling strange old lady in front of her.
Zhou Nuan held her breath unconsciously.
Gu Xixi is different from Gu Xiaodong. Xiaodong is a gentle and obedient person who can be hugged by anyone, but Gu Xixi has a very distinct personality. She likes beautiful things and likes to be hugged by handsome boys the most. So most of the time she is either in Su Hang's arms or Gu Xiyue's arms. If she doesn't want to, she will cry loudly without any face.
Unexpectedly, after taking a look at the nervous Zhou Nuan, Gu Xixi suddenly smiled at Chen Yan. Her smile was so sweet that even her two dimples were visible. She stretched out her chubby little hands and babbled for Chen Yan to hold her. She looked extremely adorable.
She didn't even smile so sweetly to her own mother.
Zhou Nuan: “…”
Sometimes she wondered if this little girl was reborn, with an adult soul inside her baby's appearance.
Chen Yan was pleasantly surprised.
Contentedly, he held Gu Xixi in his arms, weighed her, and said with a smile, "The little girl is really heavy and looks really good."
When Gu Xixi heard the word "shen", she was immediately dissatisfied and frowned. Her face looked so gloomy that she looked just like Gu Xiaodong's biological father who was standing next to her and holding him.
"Oh, she seems to understand." Chen Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly changed her words, "Auntie is wrong, our Xiao Xian is not heavy at all, he is very light."
Gu Xixi was satisfied and continued to smile.
Chen Yan was amazed by what she saw and hugged her tightly, unable to let go.
Director Zhao, who was standing by, was jealous and envious. He thought of his own son who was still in his rebellious period and always went against him, and then he looked at the soft and tender baby in front of him and wanted to hug him.
There was actually another one in Gu Xiyue's arms, but unfortunately he was too embarrassed to snatch it from the other person's father, so he could only watch with envy.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by Gu Xixi. Humans have never been able to resist cute creatures, let alone these two white, chubby and adorable little babies.
He was looking at them with a smile on his face, his eyes only on the two adorable children, and he could no longer see Ji Huayan.
Ji Huayan was isolated from the crowd. She wanted to speak but couldn't get a word in, and she was very angry.
She had originally planned to make a stunning appearance today and specially wore a dazzling red dress, but she didn't expect that the limelight would be stolen by the mother of this little bastard. She had finally regained the city with the help of her dead father, but now these two bastards have stolen her attention.
What's so good about a little kid who just grew teeth? He can't even speak.
This mother and her two children are simply her nemesis!
Ji Huayan hated him so much, but she had to stand by with a gentle smile on her face. However, that smile looked unnatural no matter how she looked at it.
Since it is a welcoming party, of course there will be a dinner. Originally, everyone wanted to hold it in a big hotel to welcome the new Director Zhao, but unfortunately the couple refused, so everyone came here.
So-called dinner party was nothing more than some home-cooked meals. There were not many dishes on the table, it could be described as simple and plain. Everyone was smart and didn't show it on their faces, so they started to eat very naturally.
Ji Huayan looked at the whole grain dumplings in front of her and couldn't pick up her chopsticks. She then glanced at the meat dishes in front of Zhou Nuan and she doubted whether the waiter who served the dishes did it on purpose.
But seeing that everyone was eating one with gusto, she had no choice but to pinch her nose and pick one up. The rough taste almost made her spit it out as soon as she put it in her mouth.
What the hell is this? Why is it so unpalatable? It's a different era now, and we're still thinking back to the good old days.
Chen Yan was originally coaxing Gu Xixi to eat white rice, but she caught a glimpse of the unpalatable expression on Ji Huayan's face and sighed silently.
"If you can't eat, don't force yourself." She said in a deep voice, without mentioning anyone by name, but everyone's eyes were on Ji Huayan.
Ji Huayan hadn't even swallowed a mouthful of coarse grain when it got stuck in his throat. He couldn't swallow it or spit it out, and his expression was very interesting for a moment.
Chen Yan spoke again, "Back then, your father loved eating this the most. He wanted to have a bite before he left but didn't get to eat it, and left with regret. Now his only daughter treats it like a piece of trash. I wonder how sad he must be if he knew about this."
Ji Huayan didn't dare to respond and couldn't respond.
Zhou Nuan was surprised that Ji Huayan couldn't eat it. She didn't think it was that bad. She had eaten tasteless and oilless boiled vegetables for a week when she was losing weight. This was not much different from boiled vegetables. In terms of irritating the throat, foreign dry bread was even harder to swallow.
Chen Yan was very disappointed. She shook her head secretly and ignored her.
Ji Huayan swallowed the food in his mouth with great difficulty. Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, he quickly put on a smile and changed the subject.
"Aunt Chen, you are still so patient. I remember you fed me like this when I was a child. I still remember it in my heart."
It would have been fine if she didn't mention this, but as soon as she mentioned it, Chen Yan's face darkened.
Thinking of the time when I took her back to the family compound, the guilt in my heart came up again.
If she hadn't insisted on taking her to her side, Fanxing wouldn't have ended up like this, unable to live a normal life until now. She owed it to the Luo family.
"Yes, you also didn't allow me to feed my brother. Whenever my brother came near you, you would cry and make a fuss. You even smashed the bowl and pushed my brother down several times. Do you remember this?"
She felt heartbroken when she talked about this.
At that time, Ji Huayan was ten years old, and her son was only three years old, just clinging to his mother. She felt sorry for the orphan of her old friend, and even threw her son aside to feed her. Unexpectedly, Ji Huayan was petty and loved to compete for favors. She pushed down her brother who wanted to be hugged by his mother several times, viciously and mercilessly.
As a result, her son is still not very close to her, and now he lives in boarding school and never comes back unless necessary.
In fact, Ji Huayan had already shown signs of being a bad person at that time, but unfortunately he was deceived by the idea that his old friend was a good man and his daughter was not much worse in character, otherwise what happened later would not have happened.
Ji Huayan choked. It was not right for her to say that she didn't remember it at the age of ten. She could only say embarrassedly that she was young and ignorant at that time.
It’s a pity that Chen Yan didn’t accept her words and her expression remained indifferent.
Everyone continued eating, some were smiling and whispering to each other, some were teasing the twins. The atmosphere was harmonious and no one paid any attention to Ji Huayan.
Ji Huayan was still here, but was simply ignored.
