Chapter 113 Engagement Banquet
Jing Zhuo didn't understand this word and frowned.
"What's the meaning?"
Chen Feng recalled the popular novel character settings that Zhang Hening had recently shared with him.
"The male protagonist in the novel who has a cold and aloof personality and wears a string of Buddhist beads on his hand is called a Beijing Buddhist."
It turns out it’s from a novel.
Jing Zhuo remembered the words he had heard frequently from Song Xi and went back to the office to ask him.
"What kind of novel is Powen?"
Chen Feng didn’t understand this.
But he is a little expert in encyclopedias.
He sent a voice message to Zhang Hening in front of Jing Zhuo and asked the same question modestly.
The other side quickly replied: "What kind of crappy article is this? Is it a post?"
"It's a broad type of novel. The hero and heroine in this type of novel have sex every day. They can do it anywhere, at any time, 24 hours a day. The purpose of reading it is to see it."
Chen Feng: “…”
Jing Zhuo: “…”
Both of them were embarrassed by Zhang Hening's blunt words.
Chen Feng instantly turned the phone to mute and touched his head awkwardly.
"Mr. Jing...your sister knows quite a lot."
Jing Zhuo said expressionlessly: "Give her more work, and don't let her read novels during working hours."
"Okay, Mr. Jing." Chen Feng came to Zhang Hening's rescue. "Hening doesn't just watch this. The Buddhists in the Beijing circle are much better. They are cool and unworldly. She has also been enjoying watching them recently. And the way you dress now looks like a Buddhist, hahaha. Your family are all serious people."
Jing Zhuo: "I'm not cold, nor am I unworldly."
He wants to be the male lead in a broken novel.
He didn't say this and changed the subject.
"Put your work on hold for next week and free up three days. I want to get engaged."
"Okay, Mr. Jing."
Chen Feng handed over the tablet.
…
A week later, the engagement party arrived as scheduled.
The banquet was held twice, one in the capital and one in Suzhou.
Song Xi was wearing a red embroidered cheongsam with two strings of crystal tassels dangling from the short cuffs. Her long hair was tied up, and she had red lips and white teeth. She stood next to the tall and handsome man, and they looked very compatible.
The Jing family has many relatives, and the elders are especially kind and loving.
After the engagement banquet, she used her extraordinary memory to recognize all the relatives of the Jing family.
The next day, Jingrong and Zhang Youqi, along with Zhang Hening and some relatives, came to Sucheng to attend Sucheng's engagement ceremony.
Song Xi changed into a clean white cheongsam, put on a little makeup, tied up her long hair, and let the tassels on her silver hairpin sway.
It has an ancient style and charm, very beautiful.
Even the lightest colors make her look stunning.
Jing Zhuo put on that new Chinese-style suit and stood with her as the son-in-law of the Song family.
They are the most eye-catching and well-matched couple.
During the toast, Song Xi introduced Jing Zhuo to all the relatives of the Song family.
My uncle and aunt are here too.
My aunt gave me a big red envelope, her eyes a little red.
"You kid, you didn't tell us you were dating and only told us when you were about to get engaged. Your family didn't even prepare any red envelopes for you."
Song Xi smiled and said, "It's good that you are here."
My uncle's family has three sons, and they have been under great financial pressure since childhood.
Even though they got some property during those years, it was far less than what the Song family took.
Beside him, Jing Zhuo raised his glass and toasted politely: "Uncle, aunt, I am Jing Zhuo."
"Okay, okay, I hope you can be happy."
The couple raised their glasses and drank as well.
Not far away, Zhang Hening sat at the table with relatives and friends, supporting her chin, looking at her best friend's slim figure, feeling melancholy in silence.
Although my best friend married into her family.
But for some reason, when I saw Xibao getting married and starting a family, I still felt a kind of... indescribable sadness.
This is the sadness that only best friends feel.
Sui Sui beside her pulled her skirt.
"Sister He Ning, I want to eat shrimp."
"Peel it yourself."
"I want soy sauce."
“Dip it yourself.”
Suisui stared at her with eyes wide open, looking at her in disbelief for a long moment before saying crisply, "You're not even a qualified adult."
Zhang Hening: “?”
Sui Sui: "Sister Xi always peels shrimps and crabs for me, and even grabs chicken legs for me. Just now, you ate both chicken legs on the table by yourself, and you even grabbed two chicken wings without giving me any!"
Zhang Hening said confidently: "In my family, I am the one who eats chicken legs."
"My chicken legs and wings are all for me to eat, so what?"
"If you have the guts, come and snatch it from me."
Sui Sui: “…”
What a fierce sister.
She never wanted to sit at the same table with Zhang Hening again.
You can’t snatch it away, and you can’t win the argument.
She bullies children!
The two women, who were almost 20 years apart in age, bickered for ten minutes until the next dishes arrived, putting an end to their bickering.
Sui Sui was inspired to fight, and he grabbed the shrimps and crabs and peeled them for himself!
But she was really small, with short arms, so she had to struggle to reach it.
After grabbing a piece of prawn, when he pulled back, his little arm touched the juice next to him, and the cup fell over, spilling onto the corner of Zhang Hening's skirt.
Zhang Hening: "..."
The retribution for quarreling with the little sister has come!
"Oh, sorry!"
Suisui had gotten into trouble and felt guilty, so he immediately offered the prawns in his hand.
"Here, eat it. Please don't scold me, okay? I'll grab the duck legs and wings for you later, okay?"
Zhang Hening: "..."
Forget it, why bother with a child.
She said, "Okay, peel the shrimp for me, dip them in soy sauce and put them on my plate. I'll go to the bathroom and wash up and be back."
After saying that, she stood up and went to the bathroom holding up her skirt.
The juice was highly pigmented and could not be processed completely, so Zhang Hening could only wash it, wipe his hands and walk out.
I didn't look at the road when I went out and bumped my head into someone.
She quickly apologized: "Oh, I'm sorry."
There was a clear male voice above my head.
"It's okay, just stand still, the road is slippery."
Nice sound.
Zhang Hening raised his head and the man had already left. From the back, he was wearing a loose white T-shirt and dark wide-leg jeans. He was tall and thin, with a mechanical watch on his wrist.
He is a tech-savvy and cool boy.
Gentle, caring and emotionally stable.
That watch is worth 20 million!
rich!
He’s a younger brother!
He looks so handsome just looking at his back.
Zhang Hening was detained for a few seconds, and when he came to his senses, he was gone.
Love is not about waiting and letting things happen, love requires active pursuit.
Zhang Hening did not go back. She found an inconspicuous corner and stood there waiting for a long time. Even after the banquet was over, she still did not see the young brother come out.
Fell into the toilet?
At this moment, a slender white hand waved in front of her eyes.
"Dog, if you don't want to go to the feast, what are you looking at?"
Zhang Hening came to his senses, grabbed Song Xi's arm, and lowered his voice.
"I just saw a very handsome and gentle younger man, about this tall and this thin, with a very nice voice. He looks exactly like the man I made a wish for in the temple. I'm waiting for him!"
Song Xi: "...I remember that the Song family doesn't have a brother this old."
"Yes, of course there is. I'm not blind. I saw it clearly just now."
"Don't look anymore. Your brother said there's no one in the bathroom. Let's go home."
Song Xi grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the car.
It was not until the evening that Zhang Hening discovered that her peach blossom bracelet was missing.
When I was washing the hem of my skirt during the day, I left it on the sink and forgot to take it away.
┭┮﹏┭┮
My younger brother is gone, and my peach blossoms are gone too.
My best friend got married.
I really cried this time.
It was very late, and the Song family booked a hotel for the relatives from the Jing family, and invited Song Xi and Jing Zhuo to stay at home.
It is customary for newlyweds to stay at their own home on the night of their engagement.
Engagement night.
In the newlyweds' room decorated with a rich atmosphere, Zhang Hening sat cross-legged on the bed, counting red envelopes.
Song Xi lay on the bed, concentrating on keeping accounts.
Jing Zhuo... sat on the sofa and watched her two best friends counting money enthusiastically.
Half an hour later, he finally couldn't help but stand up.
"Okay, that's about it. We'll figure it out tomorrow."
"No, forget about it tomorrow. Counting money is something you have to do in one go. Eight thousand eight, Xibao, this is for your uncle's family. Remember this."
Jing Zhuo took the red envelope and stared at her with a cold look.
"Zhang Hening, how about you stay and sleep with her tonight, and I'll leave?"
