282 Want to Steal a Child
Jiang Baohai brought his family to Zhizhen Hotel.
His family was the only one hosting a banquet in the hotel today, and most of the guests had already arrived.
Gao Chongyi and Huang Ying were helping to greet relatives and friends.
Fang Xiaoyu is specifically responsible for receiving the company's business partners.
The scene was decorated in a lively manner, with streamers, balloons and dolls filling the entire venue.
For those who come with children, each child will be given an extra colorful balloon.
There is also a special children's play area at the entrance of the venue, and the children are very happy.
Although my daughter is only one and a half months old and can't play with these yet.
But when Jiang Baohai looked at those happy children, he felt a sense of satisfaction that they had already played on his daughter's behalf.
Gao Qinghe hadn't been out for so long that he didn't even know when a new big hotel opened in the county town.
Before entering the door, I took a special look at the sign, Zhizhen Hotel, a name I had never seen in my previous life.
"Who opened it? His aesthetics are pretty good." Gao Qinghe asked.
The hotel in front of you has an electric revolving door at the entrance, and the lobby is decorated mainly in silver and purple, exuding elegance and low-key luxury.
It is completely incomparable to the red and gold European style of the Oriental Hotel.
This Zhizhen Hotel looks very high-end at first glance.
Jiang Baohai shook his head. He didn't know the name of the boss behind the scenes.
"But I heard that the general manager is a returnee from abroad."
Gao Qinghe nodded. No wonder, his aesthetic taste is really good.
When the couple walked into the banquet hall, Yan Hong and others immediately gathered around to look at the child.
Jiang Qiyue had just had a big meal in the car and was now asleep again.
The little girl was very considerate and didn't make any noise in such a noisy occasion. She just slept by herself.
Yan Hong has no daughter, so she was extremely attracted to this soft and sweet little girl.
She urged her husband Yu Long to quickly bring over the full-moon gift she had prepared for the little one.
Yu Long had a smile on his face, but his movements were indifferent and he handed over the things, then stepped back and looked at the lively scene alone, not knowing what he was thinking.
His detached state made Yan Hong feel a little embarrassed.
But it was difficult to say anything, so he smiled and put two big gold bracelets on Jiang Qiyue's chubby wrists.
"This is too expensive!" Gao Qinghe said politely.
Yan Hong glared at her and said, "You must accept my kindness."
Gao Qinghe thanked Aunt Hong on behalf of his daughter and gladly accepted it.
Someone took the lead and everyone took out the gifts they had for their children. There were so many that Gao Qinghe and his wife couldn't hold them all, so they quickly called Gao Qingmiao over.
Jiang Baohai handed him the car keys and asked him to put the gifts in the car first.
Gao Qinghe was surprised: "You didn't ask Xiaohong to come with you?"
Gao Qingmiao said, "Oh," and replied, "She said she'd be here later. No need to wait for her. If she can't make it, I'll pack it for her."
Holding a pile of gifts, the brother and sister motioned Gao Qingya to help share some of the burden and went out.
Gao Qinghe had a hunch that something was wrong, but there were too many people looking after the child and they had no time to pay attention. The couple walked around the banquet hall holding the child.
Huang Yanqiu and her family of three arrived late, and they didn't even have time to put away the wallets hanging around their waists. It was obvious that they had just dropped off a bus of passengers and rushed over in a hurry.
"Oh my god, I left my gift at home!"
As soon as Zheng Xiaopeng entered the room and saw the dessert table at the door, he remembered that he had not taken the gift. He looked at Huang Yanqiu cautiously.
Huang Yanqiu rolled her eyes at him and took her daughter in her hands. The look of disdain in her eyes was almost enough to scold him for being more of a hindrance than a help.
Zheng Xiaopeng probed: "How about I take a taxi back to get it?"
"never mind."
Fortunately, it was her cousin. If it was someone else, it wouldn’t be so easy to solve.
After signaling her useless husband to follow her, Huang Yanqiu found Gao Qinghe with her daughter in her arms and a smile on her face.
When Xue'er saw her sister Qi Yue, she screamed with excitement and couldn't help drooling.
Zheng Xiaopeng quickly grabbed the bib around his daughter's neck and wiped off the saliva to save his daughter's image.
Gao Qinghe and Huang Yanqiu exchanged glances and said, "Your husband is quite good at taking care of children."
When it comes to the child's education, Huang Yanqiu has nothing to say about Zheng Xiaopeng as a father.
He looked at Zheng Xiaopeng and nodded in agreement, which was rare.
Zheng Xiaopeng was flattered and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, feeling a little happy.
It was almost time, Gao Qinghe invited the couple to take their seats and prepare to eat.
I also sat at a table with my family.
Jiang Baohai settled his business partners and several old leaders, and sat down in the seat specially reserved by his wife.
The waiter came with a food cart and served the food.
It took seven or eight rounds to serve all the dishes.
Fang Xiaoyu counted the dishes and found they all matched. Just as he was about to ask the kitchen manager to leave, another food cart was pushed in.
On the dining car were bottles of red wine that you could tell weren’t cheap just by looking at the packaging.
Following behind the dining car was a handsome young man wearing a gray suit who looked like a manager.
Fang Xiaoyu felt that the person looked familiar at first sight, but he tried hard to recall where he had seen him before.
Just as I was wondering, Gao Qinghe and Jiang Baohai suddenly stood up.
Gao Qinghe pointed at the newcomer in surprise, then pointed at the hotel banquet hall in front of him.
"Gu Jingzhou! So you are the general manager of this Zhizhen Hotel?"
The handsome manager smiled faintly, deliberately ignored her, and signaled the waiter to bring the red wine to the table.
Jiang Baohai was puzzled: "This wine?"
"Don't worry, it's a gift from the hotel. Congratulations to Mr. Jiang and his wife on the birth of their daughter." Gu Jingzhou said.
Jiang Baohai smiled unexpectedly, and decisively pulled his brother-in-law away, inviting Gu Jingzhou to sit down and eat together.
Gao Qingmiao looked at her sister pitifully, and received a gentle look of comfort from her sister. She readily sat down in an empty seat at another table and gave up her seat.
Gu Jingzhou didn't hesitate and sat down.
Gao Chongyi was holding the child beside him. Seeing Gu Jingzhou looking at him curiously, he asked him if he wanted a hug.
Gu Jingzhou waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no."
Actually, I didn’t dare to hold the child because he was too young.
His eldest brother also had two children, but both missed the infancy stage completely and had no experience in holding such young children.
And looking at the stingy look on Jiang Baohai's face as he stared at her, he would definitely be angry if her daughter was hurt.
Unexpectedly, Gao Chongyi was very generous and taught him step by step how to hold a child.
"Look, if you hold her neck with one hand and her butt with the other, you can hold her firmly..."
Gu Jingzhou licked his lips nervously and carefully took the child.
The soft ball pressed against your chest, as if disturbed. It opened its eyelids drowsily, revealing a pair of black grape-like eyes looking at you, and its little mouth opened into a smile.
Gu Jingzhou looked at Gao Qinghe and Jiang Baohai in surprise. "Your daughter is smiling at me! She must like me!"
Jiang Baohai felt sad in his heart, but he forced himself to keep a polite smile.
Gao Qinghe joked, "It seems like she's also a girl who likes handsome guys."
Gu Jingzhou held the child for a while and then returned her to her grandfather.
As a result, the little guy didn't make a fuss or cry, but just stared at him with his big eyes for a long time.
Gu Jingzhou met Jiang Baohai's vigilant gaze and suppressed the urge to steal the child for the fifteenth time.
