"And what happened to your two younger brothers? They're usually so well-behaved. They'd behave themselves even without you telling them to. You're still a member of our family, and you're turning your elbow outward."
"You haven't married into the Luo family yet, who are you going to lecture?"
Old Man Xia slapped the table and said angrily, "Okay, Qingqing is right. Just shut your mouth today and talk less."
"What kind of people does the Luo family associate with? If you embarrass them in front of those leaders, how will the Luo family view us then?"
"Have you ever thought about whether you will still help Jianguo find a job? So today you should just keep your mouth shut and eat your meal."
Old Lady Xia said timidly, "I understand."
Grandpa Xia turned to his two grandsons who were making trouble at the table and said softly, "Xiaocheng, Xiaocai, Grandpa knows that you are the best and most obedient, right?"
Xia Cheng and Xia Cai said in unison: "Yes, we are the most obedient. If we are obedient, we will get candy."
"Well, you two be good today and listen to grandma. When you come back, grandpa will give you lots of candy."
"Okay, we'll be obedient."
After giving his two grandsons instructions, Grandpa Xia breathed a sigh of relief and said to his granddaughter standing there, "Okay, everything is done. Come and sit down to eat. Come over early after dinner."
"This is a big deal for our family, and we can't make any mistakes. We're counting on this marriage to help our family in the future, so no one is allowed to let us down."
After warning them, Grandpa Xia sat there and started eating by himself. The other people also knew what was most important, so they didn't say anything. They watched Grandpa Xia pick up his chopsticks and started eating too.
Xia Jin strolled to a store close to his home, inspected it, and then took a car to the department store.
It was the time to load the goods and no one had time to take care of him, so Xia Jin just sat aside and watched them busy. Sometimes he would go up to help them by carrying things or something.
In fact, they all did a good job and there was no place for Xia Jin to be of any use. She might only make things worse for them. But Xia Jin was really boring.
There's nowhere else to go, so I can only come here to wander around. Besides, I have to come and take a look, to intimidate them and let them know that I'm their boss.
Don't be arrogant and think that they have the final say in the store, and do something wrong. By the way, pay attention to the lives of employees and see if there is anything they are not used to or inconvenient.
After waiting for a while, as more people came into the store, Xia Jin felt that it was about time, so he said goodbye to them and left.
The engagement ceremony was not far from his two shops, so Xia Jin arrived there quickly on foot. Not far away, he could see Xia Qingqing and the others standing at the door to welcome guests.
Xia Qingqing was smiling happily, and Luo Zisen was also very happy, but Luo's father and the others did not look happy at all. It was obviously a good thing that their son was engaged, but they looked so sad.
When someone came over, she forced a smile, which was obviously forced, and it was obvious that she was not satisfied with her daughter-in-law.
There were only a few of them outside, not Liu Xiu and the others. Xia Jin thought that maybe they felt embarrassed about them, so they didn't let them out to greet the guests. Besides, their relatives were not important, and the Luo family would not see them.
Xia Qingqing had just happily welcomed a group of people from Luo's father's side, and before she could put away her smile, she saw Xia Jin. After looking at her, she was no longer as enthusiastic as the others.
But I knew it was her important day, so I just said sarcastically: "Isn't this my good sister? You really came. Come in quickly, otherwise there will be no good seats soon."
Xia Jin smiled and said, "Of course I'm coming to such an important day for you, but didn't you invite me? Why are you unhappy to see me coming?"
"Hey, Miss Xia, why are you here? What a coincidence today."
Xia Jin was speaking when she heard a voice from behind. She turned around and saw a middle-aged man. When she tried hard to recall who he was, he spoke again: "Why don't you recognize me? Think about it carefully. Police station, Young Master Gu."
Xia Jin suddenly remembered what he said and said with a smile, "How come you're here too, County Magistrate Tian? Are you here for the engagement ceremony as well?"
County Magistrate Tian smiled and said, "Yes, the uncle of the woman who is getting engaged is related to me. Of course I have to come and take care of him when he gets engaged."
"Besides, I know both families involved in the engagement. They sent me an invitation, so I came over to take a look."
When Xia Jin heard what he said, she thought, this Wang family is really cruel. They cancelled the engagement and didn't even tell the people they invited. They are inviting them to laugh at themselves and they are not afraid of offending them.
However, Xia Jin looked at him again, and when he saw the smile on the county magistrate's face, a guess suddenly flashed through his mind. Could it be that they did it on purpose? The Wang family had hired someone to mess things up.
But it seems that Wang Yuanyuan's family has good connections. Even a county magistrate can come to support her. When I get home, I will ask her what her uncle does and how he can have such great power.
Xia Jin glanced at Xia Qingqing, who was standing with the Luo family, and said with a half-smile, "You might be mistaken. The one who's getting engaged is my good stepsister. When did their family have such a powerful relative? How come I didn't know about it?"
"No, that's what the invitation says."
When the Luo family heard what County Magistrate Tian said, even though it was April, they broke out in cold sweats. They knew exactly who this man was targeting.
Their family didn't have the resources to invite such a person over, let alone the Xia family. If they had such a relative, would they have bothered to get in touch with their family? However, when they thought it was the Wang family who notified them, they accidentally forgot about him.
But they didn't want to offend him. However, this matter was really hard to explain. Later, they thought about hearing that their stepsister Xia Qingqing seemed to know County Magistrate Tian, so they could only place their hopes on Xia Qingqing.
After all, if they really offended the county magistrate, their family would be finished, and they wouldn't have to think about becoming the deputy factory director. It would be good if they could keep their jobs.
Xia Qingqing looked at the looks given to her by Luo's parents and instantly became alert. It seemed that her stepsister was still useful. Now she had to win her over and get past County Magistrate Tian first.
From now on, no matter whether he has any relationship with County Magistrate Tian or not, the Luo family will look up to him.
