Chapter 188 Familiar Uncle
The engagement of the two was rather hasty, so the people who came were simple. In addition to the Li family, they also invited Liu Guihua's younger brother and sister, Li Zhiming's three older sisters and one younger brother.
On Meng Xiaoning's side, she only has an aunt and an uncle.
Looking at these grandparents, Ji Yuanyuan and his two siblings seemed like tools.
They just called each other whatever Li Xu asked them to call.
To be honest, I have never seen these people before, and Ji Yuanyuan doesn't really know them very well.
Li Lei wore a well-fitting suit, while Meng Xiaoning wore a red skirt suit. The two of them looked very well matched when they stood together.
An engagement party naturally requires a set of procedures.
The food hadn't been served yet, and Ji Ziang was a little bored. He took Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zixuan and quietly slipped out of the hotel's private room and came to the lobby.
In the lobby, there are two lifelike statues and a small fountain. Ji Ziang is curious about everything.
Ji Zixuan and Ji Yuanyuan were not interested in these.
But they were also afraid that Ji Ziang would touch them carelessly and break them. So the two siblings could only stare at Ji Ziang.
At this moment, a man and a woman came into the lobby. They walked in hand in hand, both with their heads down, looking like they were avoiding someone.
Both of them were wearing sunglasses, and the man's collar was stood up high, covering most of his face.
The two of them walked to the front desk and checked in.
Ji Yuanyuan didn't notice it at first, but the fountain was right next to the front desk, and when Ji Ziang was running around, he accidentally bumped into the man.
"I'm sorry, uncle and aunt, my brother didn't mean it." Ji Zixuan hurriedly ran over to apologize to them.
Ji Ziang also lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, uncle!"
The man didn't say anything, he just pulled the woman.
The woman stepped forward quickly and forced a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, just go and have fun!"
Seeing this, Ji Zixuan took Ji Ziang to thank the two people before leaving.
When they arrived at an open area, Ji Zixuan lectured Ji Ziang: "Why don't you watch out? This is not home, be quiet and don't cause trouble for others!"
The little face was tense and looked very angry.
Ji Ziang also knew that he had done something wrong, so he went forward with a wry smile to please Ji Zixuan: "Brother, I know I was wrong, please don't be angry."
Next to them, Ji Yuanyuan looked at the two people with a strange expression.
After they finished their formalities at the front desk, they went upstairs together.
When going upstairs, the man always stood on the other side of the woman, as if avoiding the sight of Ji Yuanyuan and others.
Even after the two figures disappeared, Ji Yuanyuan still did not withdraw her gaze.
Ji Zixuan walked over and looked up in the direction Ji Yuanyuan was looking at with some curiosity.
However, there was nothing to see except the empty staircase.
"Yuanyuan, what are you looking at?" Ji Zixuan asked while holding Ji Yuanyuan's hand.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuanyuan withdrew her gaze.
She looked at her two brothers and asked, "Do you think that uncle just now looked familiar?"
Look familiar? Ji Zixuan looked at Ji Yuanyuan in surprise: "I don't think I know her!"
As he spoke, he looked at Ji Ziang again: "What about you? Do you know him?"
Ji Ziang blinked innocently: "I don't know him!"
After saying that, the two brothers looked at Ji Yuanyuan at the same time.
Ji Yuanyuan pulled the corner of his lips and whispered, "Maybe I saw it wrong!"
Ji Zixuan pulled one in each hand and sighed with great concern, "Okay, stop running around and go back and stay still."
Being pulled by Ji Zixuan, Ji Yuanyuan couldn't help but look back.
I don’t know if I was seeing things, but I always felt that the man just now looked very much like Yang Jingyi’s father.
She had often visited Yang Jingyi's house before, so she had met her several times.
But after all, I am not very familiar with him, and I am not sure whether it is the person just now.
In this way, Ji Yuanyuan withdrew her gaze and quickly followed Ji Zixuan back to the private room.
The ceremony in the private room was almost over, and a few cold dishes were served one after another.
The three siblings sat obediently beside Li Xu, waiting for the dishes to be served.
The food in this restaurant is pretty good, but of course it’s still far from Zhang Kun’s cooking.
Ji Yuanyuan quickly forgot about the man.
After dinner, it was almost one o'clock.
It was time for the children to go to school, so Li Xu took the three children away first.
In the afternoon, after the math test, the school closed early.
Having just finished her exam, Li Xu didn't want to push her children too hard, so she didn't rush them to do their homework. She was selling vegetables in the store, and the children were playing in front of the store.
This way, the children won't be restrained and they will be safer under her watchful eyes.
After a while, Yang Jingyi pulled Hu Chunli over.
The wounds on Hu Chunli's face have almost healed. She took off her mask and her signature smile was revealed.
While the four children were playing outside, Hu Chunli sat at the side of the door, helping Li Xu pick vegetables.
Just like leeks, they have to be cleaned up neatly so that customers are willing to buy them.
So Li Xu will organize it when she has time.
"To be honest, I really envy you." Hu Chunli suddenly said, "How did you manage to raise three children by yourself and still make money?"
Hearing this, Li Xu said with a smile: "Why do you envy me? If you are not forced into a desperate situation, who would want to live like this? Is it a good thing to be praised for your ability? Speaking of which, I envy you! Jingyi's father is so good at making money, you don't have to worry about anything. If I had a lot of money now, I wouldn't want to work so hard!"
Li Xu's compliment did not make Hu Chunli laugh.
She whispered, "It's not easy to spend money that I didn't earn myself. If it weren't for Jingyi... I wouldn't have quit my job!"
Listening to Hu Chunli's words, Li Xu smiled and said nothing.
Life is like this, only you know whether the water is hot or cold when you drink it.
It can be seen that Hu Chunli is a capable person, and she would definitely not want to stay at home to take care of the children all the time.
"You are indeed amazing, raising three children by yourself. I only have one, if... I don't know if I can support her!"
The more Li Xu listened, the more she felt that what Hu Chunli said was a little strange.
"What's wrong with you? Did you have a fight with her father?" Li Xu asked in a low voice.
Hu Chunli seemed to come to her senses all of a sudden and quickly shook her head: "No, no, I just said it casually."
Seeing Hu Chunli's secretive look, Li Xu stopped talking.
The mother and daughter stayed at Li Xu's place until it was time for dinner, and then went home.
Li Xu also went home to cook. After dinner, Zhang Kun also came back.
