"Zhizhi, are you still in contact with the Ji family privately?"
Shen Hongyi's question was not harsh, and his tone could be described as gentle, but there was a hint of tentativeness in his tone.
Chen Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.
Although she didn't know why Shen Hongyi forgot to ask about the Ji family, since he took the initiative to mention it, it saved her a lot of trouble.
Chen Zhi calmly asked back: "What's wrong?"
Shen Hongyi said: "Nothing, I was just surprised to see you talking to the Ji family just now. After all, I remember that Zhizhi, you didn't seem to like interacting with them before."
That's putting it mildly.
Everyone has witnessed Chen Zhi’s previous disgust for the Ji family.
Although his relationship with the Ji family had become increasingly worse since Jiang Yun came into the family, he was always polite to the Ji family for fear of being criticized behind their backs.
Later, 䀴 had a complete falling out with the Ji family, and the fuse was indeed Chen Zhi.
However, he didn't want to live under the shadow of the Ji family and Ji Wanqing, so it was logical for him to break off relations with the Ji family.
How could he not be surprised to learn today that Chen Zhi could still talk to the Ji family? His gaze towards Chen Zhi deepened.
He was becoming more and more confused about his daughter.
Shen Zhi felt a little confused when she first heard Shen Hongyi's words.
Ji family? When did she talk to the Ji family?
Apart from talking to Shen Mei and her sisters just now, I only spoke a few words to the little brat's parents when I first came in...
etc.
Could it be that... they are from the Ji family?
In the original text, the Ji family is the richest family in Haicheng.
The couple just now were dressed in low-key yet luxurious clothes, obviously they were not an ordinary wealthy family, so this made sense.
Chen Zhi raised his eyebrows.
If this is true, it is truly an unintentional achievement.
"Dad is asking you, why don't you speak, Zhizhi? By the way, the little boy who came in with you just now is your uncle's grandson Ji Nanyu, right? Why did you two come in together?" Jiang Yun asked casually from the side.
The Ji family looked strange just now, so she asked the hotel staff privately and found out that it was the grandson of Ji Wanqing's eldest brother Ji Chengyu who ran away. The noise even alarmed the Xie family.
But who could have thought that the person they had been looking for for a while would appear with Shen Zhi and Xie Jinyan.
It would be fine if it was just Chen Zhi, but Tu Dai is also related to him.
Then what did Xie Jinyan do?
Shouldn't he be busy socializing at such an occasion? Why did he come in from outside?
It couldn't be that he knew Chen Zhi was coming and went out to pick her up, right?
Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Yun's eyes swept across Chen Zhi and Shen Mei in front of her, and her heart sank.
Shen Zhi, this vixen.
It is indeed attractive.
After Jiang Yun finished speaking, Shen Hongyi's suspicious eyes also swept over.
Chen Zhi glanced at Jiang Yun who was trying to fan the flames, and smiled in his heart.
Her delicate eyebrows and eyes were filled with interest. "Really? I thought it was just someone's child who got lost, but I didn't know there was such a relationship. So, my grandfather's family and I have a deep connection."
As soon as these words were spoken lightly.
Shen Hongyi and Jiang Yun both changed their expressions slightly.
Chen Mei felt confused just now, but after hearing these few words, she knew what was going on.
Just as he was about to make a sarcastic remark, his mother stopped him with a look.
Jiang Yun smiled slightly, "Let's not talk about this. This is Zhizhi's first time attending such an event. I think many people don't know her yet. Meimei is now interning at the company, so it's time for her to expand her network. Hongyi, you can take them around."
Shen Mei quickly understood what Jiang Yun meant.
He glanced at the guests around who were paying attention to the situation here, and the frustration he had just felt was swept away.
By the way, this is the first time that Chen Zhi has made a public appearance in this circle in many years. There must be a lot of people who are secretly following her.
This was the first time that Chen Zhi attended such a formal occasion, and she might have been able to remain calm when facing socialites of the same age as her.
But when facing his father's business partners, he felt timid.
After all, she had always been a laggard in her studies, and entered the entertainment industry directly after graduation. No matter how good-looking she is, she is just an empty-headed vase, and her clumsiness is exposed the moment she opens her mouth.
I guess if I just walk around here, she will trample me into the dust.
Thinking of this, Shen Mei took Shen Zhi's hand without hesitation and said warmly: "Mom is right, come on, come on, I have to let everyone know that I have a big sister!"
Chen Zhi and Xie Jinyan were in an awkward relationship. Everyone witnessed the scene where they appeared together just now.
Shen Hongyi weighed it and agreed happily: "That's it."
…
Old Master Xie kept his eyes and ears open, and he did not miss the scene where his brat appeared with the girl from the Shen family.
He was also wondering why this kid disappeared after the Shen family showed up.
I didn't expect that he went out to pick someone up.
He also brought along Old Man Ji's great-grandson.
Thinking of the déjà vu of the family of three just now, Mr. Xie couldn't help but feel a little restless.
But when he saw Xie Jinyan coming, he still pretended to be serious and coughed: "Where have you been?"
Xie Jinyan didn't even blink, his hands in his pockets, still looking nonchalant: "It's stuffy in here, let's go outside to get some fresh air."
Tsk.
You little bastard, do you really think he is blind?
Mr. Xie sneered in his heart, but did not expose him.
"grandfather."
A young man with a gentle temperament walked towards me, with a smile on his face that made people feel like spring breeze.
He is the eldest son of Xie Jinyan's second uncle Xie Cheng, and also Xie Jinyan's cousin Xie Youze.
When Xie Youze got closer, he found that Xie Jinyan was also there, and he laughed and called out, "Cousin, you are here too."
Xie Jinyan was not very close to other members of the Xie family, so he just nodded coldly when he heard this, which could be considered a greeting.
Mr. Xie chatted with Xie Youze for a while.
She glanced at Xie Jinyan from the corner of her eye, and seeing that his gaze was always following a certain direction, she narrowed her eyes shrewdly.
The voice unconsciously rose a little higher -
"By the way, Youze, do you have a girlfriend now?"
