"Cousin, cousin, wait a moment."
This sound nailed the Ji Chuan couple, who were about to leave, to the spot.
The two of them quickly exchanged shocked looks.
Chen Zhi just now... what were they doing?
There were already quite a few people paying attention to what was happening here. At this moment, not only the Ji couple, but also the other guests had different expressions.
Shen Hongyi's expression had already changed slightly, but due to the presence of other guests, he didn't say anything. However, his eyes when he looked at Chen Zhi suddenly became extremely sharp.
The sounds of toasting and clinking of glasses around suddenly stopped.
Chen Zhi naturally knew that he was the focus again at this time.
She ignored all the looks, stood up from her seat, walked in front of Ji Chuan and his wife, and smiled without waiting for them to ask.
"I haven't seen my grandpa and uncle for a long time. There were too many people just now and I didn't have the chance. How about I go with you now and say hello to them?"
As the sound fell, you could hear a pin drop within a few meters.
It was not until they saw Chen Zhi leaving with Ji Chuan's family of three that they came to their senses.
Some people were talking in low voices.
"Didn't they say that because of that Ji family member, the Shen family and the Ji family had long been enemies and had not interacted for many years? But now it seems that this is not the case?"
"That's not right. I heard that it was because of Shen Hongyi's eldest daughter that the two families completely cut off contact. What kind of response is this now? Are they reconciling?"
"I think the Shen family has no intention of reconciling with the Ji family. From the beginning of the banquet until now, I have not seen Shen Hongyi and his wife have any quarrels with the Ji family."
"So what do we do now?"
"I think the Shen family is very treacherous. How could the eldest daughter of Shen Hongyi, who is only a little kid, cause the Shen and Ji families to become enemies? Who knows if someone is instigating this behind the scenes..."
"But so many years have passed, and the ice is not formed in a day. Even if Chen Zhi wants to resume relations with the Ji family, it is not that simple."
"I heard that the old man of the Ji family has a bad temper. Chen Zhi just went there rashly... Tsk tsk, the scene later is going to be very exciting!"
Ji Chuan and Yun Chu walked in front, feeling a little nervous.
Ji Nanyu insisted on sticking to Chen Zhi no matter what, so he followed behind.
"Sister, why did you call my dad and mom and cousin and cousin-in-law just now?" Ji Nanyu asked curiously with his eyes wide open.
Chen Zhi guessed that the Ji family probably hadn't explained to Ji Nan yet, and didn't know what their attitude was towards her, so she could only say, "Ask your parents about this later."
Chen Zhi looked at Ji Nanyu and asked, "Where's your Jiujiu?"
Speaking of this, Ji Nanyu felt deflated.
"I brought Jiujiu here secretly. My parents found out when I got back home. They said small animals can't come in, so I gave it to the bodyguard uncle for safekeeping."
Although Ji Nanyu is young, he speaks very logically.
That little expression of beating his chest and stamping his feet almost made Chen Zhi laugh.
Thinking about what his noisy parrot would say to the bodyguard, Shen Zhi couldn't help laughing out loud.
"What are you laughing at?"
Old Master Ji saw Chen Zhi following Ji Chuan and the others from afar, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't excited.
It's just that he was used to being reserved, and even though he repeatedly reminded himself not to scare people away, he still spoke in a stiff tone.
At first glance, it sounds like a question.
The Ji Chuan couple were already somewhat unsure of their grandfather's intentions, but if they rejected Chen Zhi's request in front of everyone, the relationship might never be eased.
That's why the two of them brought Chen Zhi here.
Unexpectedly, before I could say anything, my grandfather spoke in a bad tone.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little stagnant.
Although Ji Chuan had never met Shen Zhi before and didn't know her well, she had mentioned some things about her love life to him.
I heard that this cousin has a bad temper and gets angry easily.
Although he felt that Chen Zhi's personality was not as he had heard, he still couldn't help but blink his eyes and thought to himself that it was bad.
My grandfather is the typical one who is soft-hearted and does not respond to tough measures.
Fearing that the two would have an unhappy argument, Ji Chuan opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere.
"Grandpa." Chen Zhi suddenly called out crisply.
It's as if the pause button has been pressed.
All the Ji family members who thought there was going to be another conflict paused.
After so many years, Grandpa Ji didn't expect to hear the word "Grandpa" from Shen Zhi's mouth. He almost thought that his ears were useless.
After a long while, he asked in disbelief, "What did you just say?"
Listening carefully, there was clearly a barely perceptible tremor in the old man's voice.
Chen Zhi looked at Mr. Ji and called softly again, "Grandpa."
It was as if I had returned to many years ago, when Wanqing was still alive and Chen Zhi was still a cuddly little girl who would sweetly call herself grandpa.
There seemed to be a glimmer of light in Mr. Ji’s eyes.
After a long while, he finally responded from his throat: "Yeah."
With this response, the gap that had stood between the two of them for so long seemed to have melted away all at once.
Ji Chengkai quickly said, "Why are you all standing here? Come, sit down and talk."
The Ji Chuan couple looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Chu had always been nice to Shen Zhiyin, so he quickly took her to sit in the empty seat.
The eyes of those who had been watching the situation here openly or secretly were about to pop out of their sockets.
No, Chen Zhi just sat down like that?
It seemed like the Ji family had no intention of making things difficult for her.
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Zhi and Shen Mei.
There have been rumors about how unbearable Shen Hongyi's eldest daughter is.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
Everyone was thinking about it secretly, but they saw Shen Mei suddenly stood up from her seat, and under everyone's surprised eyes, she walked towards the main seat where the Xie family was.
