Ji Zhixia deeply regretted letting Ji Zhinan go with her to see the ring.
If she hadn't said that, she wouldn't have had such a quarrel with Brother Zeyu that they almost canceled the engagement.
The bride-to-be Ji Zhixia went to the lounge to touch up her makeup, while Ji Pengfei took Mrs. Ji and Ji Zhinan to greet the guests at the venue.
"Congratulations, Pengfei."
Several CEOs raised their glasses to celebrate.
Ji Pengfei smiled modestly and clinked glasses with everyone: "Thank you."
After a few drinks, one of the CEOs laughed and teased, "We've heard in the media that you two have a little girl. We didn't believe it at first, after all, you never revealed it in all these years. I didn't expect it to be true!"
The boss looked at Ji Zhinan who was standing next to Madam Ji, and joked with Ji Pengfei, "Among us brothers, you, Pengfei, are the most blessed! You have two daughters, each one more beautiful than the other. Now that your eldest daughter is engaged, it won't be long before your second daughter is born!"
"Hahahaha..." everyone laughed.
Ji Pengfei looked embarrassed, but he quickly concealed it and smiled apologetically.
Another CEO continued, "The Shen Group and Brother Pengfei have been very close recently. I heard that his son, Shen Mufeng, has taken a fancy to your second daughter. Pengfei, we've been good brothers for over a decade. Tell me, is your Ji family planning a marriage with the Shen family?"
"..." Ji Pengfei's mood, which had just calmed down, turned bad again.
He did think about relying on Ji Zhinan to get Shen's project, but later Shen's cooperation with ZN blatantly slapped him in the face.
Seeing her husband's stiff expression, Mrs. Ji quickly pulled Ji Zhinan behind her and spoke with a smile.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Xia Xia and Ze Yu truly love each other, so we also hope that Nan Nan can find a good home. No one knows whether she and the young master of the Shen family are destined to be together. Pengfei and I are very cheerful. As long as the children are happy, that's all that matters."
Several CEOs were stunned for a moment, then laughed to hide their embarrassment: "Hahaha... the girl is right."
Mrs. Ji's words made Ji Pengfei's frown relax. He smiled and clinked glasses with several bosses again and immediately changed the subject.
Ji Pengfei met with all the bosses he was supposed to meet before returning to his seat.
The first row is reserved for the families of the bride and groom. Mr. Ji is old, so he stayed seated and didn't move around.
"Nannan." Seeing his little granddaughter coming, Grandpa Ji smiled and took Ji Zhinan's hand, saying lovingly: "Your parents have introduced you to many uncles and aunts."
Ji Zhinan nodded obediently: "Yes."
"That's good." Grandpa Ji was relieved. "If you run into trouble outside in the future, you'll have to rely on these relationships."
Mrs. Ji felt uncomfortable and said sourly: "Dad, you didn't ask Pengfei to take Xia Xia to recognize her."
If the old man hadn't forced her to take Ji Zhinan to meet the CEOs of various companies, Mrs. Ji would not have been willing to bring this burden along.
Hearing Mrs. Ji complaining about something trivial again, Mr. Ji glanced at her and said, "Which of our company's shareholders and partners doesn't know Xia Xia?"
All the bosses who have worked with Ji’s family know that Ji Pengfei has a daughter named Ji Zhixia, who is very precious to him.
“…” Mrs. Ji stopped talking.
There were still three minutes left before the engagement ceremony started, and the guests returned to their seats.
Next to Mrs. Ji was Ji Zhinan. Thinking of the frustration just now, Mrs. Ji glanced at her privately and warned her in a low voice.
