Chapter 96 The Banquet



Xing Fei's mother is a very gentle and elegant lady who is easy to get along with.

Xing Fei kept putting food on Ji Zhinan's plate with serving chopsticks, muttering, "Nannan, eat this, it's so delicious. I always order this when my parents bring me to this restaurant."

"These ribs smell amazing!"

"And there's more..."

The Xing family took turns serving food to Ji Zhinan, whose bowl was piled high with food, making it difficult for him to even know where to begin eating.

Seeing that Xing Fei was about to put a chicken leg on Ji Zhinan's plate, Mrs. Xing smiled and stopped her, saying, "Nannan, there's still plenty of food in your bowl. You can eat it yourself."

Xing Fei glanced at Ji Zhinan's bowl before quietly putting the chicken leg into her own.

Madam Xing got up to pour wine for Ji Zhinan, but Ji Zhinan was flattered and quickly stood up to stop her, saying, "Aunt Xing."

“Girl.” Madam Xing pressed Ji Zhinan’s hand and said earnestly, “This is what your aunt should do. If you don’t let your aunt do it, your aunt will feel uncomfortable.”

Ji Zhinan glanced at Xing Minggao with a troubled expression, and the latter nodded to her.

Having no other choice, Ji Zhinan let go first.

Madam Xing personally poured red wine for Ji Zhinan, and then poured herself a glass. She held up her glass and looked at Ji Zhinan.

"I've always heard your Uncle Xing speak highly of you at home, and now I've finally seen your true face. Girl, I thank you for bringing the company back from the brink of collapse. It's the culmination of most of your Uncle Xing's life's work. If you hadn't appeared back then, the company wouldn't have been saved, and I can't even imagine how disappointed your Uncle Xing would have been."

"Fortunately, it's still here. Although it's not called Changhua anymore, as long as it's here, your Uncle Xing will feel at ease."

"This glass of wine is for you, I should have done it a long time ago, but I've been putting it off until now, so don't complain."

Ji Zhinan smiled modestly and lowered his cup to touch Madam Xing's cup: "I am still young, and there are still many things I don't understand. I am very grateful to have Uncle Xing by my side, who has taught me a lot."

"It's what he should do."

The two of them downed their drinks in one gulp. Xing Minggao smiled and said, "We're all family, there's no need for so many formalities at the dinner table. Nannan, eat more, you're too thin."

Ji Zhinan nodded and sat down.

Madam Xing had learned about Ji Zhinan from Xing Minggao, and regardless of Ji Pengfei and his wife's attitude, she liked him more and more the more she looked at him.

Everyone says that daughters are their mothers' little cotton-padded jackets, so Gou Xiuqin must be very lucky to have two. But instead of enjoying her good fortune, she wore one and threw the other away.

If it were me, both my daughters would be my precious treasures, and I would never be able to bear not loving either of them.

Madam Xing had met Ji Zhixia. She spoke bluntly and was just like Gou Xiuqin, which was really unpleasant.

However, Ji Zhinan is not similar to Ji Zhixia and Gou Xiuqin. Whether it is appearance, temperament or other aspects, the similarity is very low.

Perhaps that's why, even though Ji Zhinan is Ji Pengfei's daughter, Madam Xing likes her very much.

"Oh, right, Nan Nan." Remembering something, Madam Xing said, "There's a big banquet in the capital next week. People of high status and position will all be there. Why don't you come with me and Xiao Fei to take a look?"

Ji Zhinan didn't like socializing much, so she politely declined, saying, "Let's forget it, I haven't finished my work yet."

"You silly child," Madam Xing scolded her, "Work is never-ending. You're so young, if you don't enjoy yourself now, when will you? Besides, sitting all day isn't good for your neck."
