Chapter 889: The Ruan Family Couple Appears (Part 3)
These five simple words took away all the limelight from the Cheng family.
If the Cheng family is the most powerful family in the imperial capital, then the Xi family is the most prestigious family in all of China. Whether it's history, heritage, inheritance, or the strength of the current patriarch, the Xi family has the Cheng family firmly under their feet.
The moment Xi Jiu walked into the banquet hall, countless people surrounded him instantly.
The guests who had originally surrounded Cheng Qi and Xu Qingya also apologized and turned to head towards the entrance of the banquet hall.
The space around Xu Qingya suddenly became empty.
The smile on her face froze, and her exquisitely manicured nails dug into her palms.
Xu Qingya was very dissatisfied.
However, the other party was the head of the Xi family, so no matter how dissatisfied she was, she could not show it.
Xu Qingya was filled with indignation, but she could only keep a smile on her face. She and Cheng Qi turned to look towards the entrance of the banquet hall.
The next moment, her smile froze on her face again.
Cheng Qi, who was standing next to her, looked as if he had seen a ghost, with his cloudy eyes wide open.
"That, that's not..."
Cheng Qi stared at the person standing next to Xi Jiu, his mouth wide open in shock, almost speechless.
The guests in the banquet hall, like him, also set their eyes on the middle-aged couple beside Xi Jiu.
"Master Xi, long time no see. How is Master Xi doing these days?"
"Why hasn't Mr. Xi been to the company recently? I just went to Xi's a few days ago, and it was your father who showed up. Judging from your father's expression, has he recovered?"
"Master Xi, you're here alone today... Huh? Who are these two people beside you?"
"These two are my father-in-law and mother-in-law." Xi Jiu said in a calm voice.
Everyone: ???
Everyone suspected that they had heard it wrong.
Someone asked uncertainly: "Your...father-in-law and mother-in-law?"
When did the head of the Xi family get married?
"Yes." Xi Jiu stood beside Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu with a respectful attitude. "This is my father-in-law, Mr. Ruan Fengmian. This is my mother-in-law, Ms. Yang Liu. They just returned to the imperial capital and are preparing for my engagement ceremony with Xiao Qi. From now on, I'll have to ask everyone to take good care of them in the imperial capital."
Xi Jiu's words contained so much information that it took everyone a while to grasp the key points.
His and Xiaoqi's engagement ceremony!
Which Xiaoqi?
Mr. Xi's father-in-law is Ruan Fengmian, whose last name is Ruan. So, the Xiaoqi he mentioned is...
Ruan Qi? !!!
Holy shit, this counts as a public admission?!
Everyone was forced to eat a big melon. They were so shocked that they couldn't react for a while.
Fortunately, everyone present was smart, and even if they couldn't react, they still greeted Ruan Fengmian and Yang Liu enthusiastically.
"So it's Mr. and Mrs. Ruan. They both look very elegant. So they are Miss Ruan Qi's parents."
"Mrs. Ruan and Miss Ruan Qi look so much alike, and Mr. Ruan also bears some resemblance to Chairman Ruan Munan. They look like a family."
"Engagement is such a big deal, why didn't Mr. Xi tell us so we could help? When is the date set? This is such a big happy event."
"It's strange, but I always feel that Mr. and Mrs. Ruan look familiar, as if I've seen them somewhere before."
"I think you look familiar to me, too. Mr. Ruan, have you ever lived in the imperial capital before? I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."
The speaker was an old man in his sixties.
He stared at Ruan Fengmian, and the more he looked, the more familiar he felt.
Ruan Fengmian showed a meaningful smile on his face, and his eyes passed over the crowd and fell on Cheng Qi and Xu Qingya who were not far away.
"Maybe, I've seen it before."
The old man thought he was just being polite and asked with a smile, "Where do you work, Mr. Ruan?"
"My wife and I opened an agricultural trade company." Ruan Fengmian took out a business card and handed it to the old man with both hands. "Sir, if you need anything in the future, you can contact us."
The sixty-year-old man took the business card with a smile.
He said politely, "Of course, of course, I..."
As he spoke, he looked down at the business card.
When he saw the title on the business card, his voice stopped abruptly.
