Chapter 269 I haven't seen you for a few days. You are even more beautiful.
Hearing the noise in the yard, Ji Jinliang knew that Gu Haitang and Tong Chaoying had come in, so he immediately let go of Bai Ning and walked out.
At this time, Ji Yanli lifted the door curtain, and Gu Haitang came in with a smile on her face, followed by a tall and elegant middle-aged man.
Ji Jinliang felt a little jealous. Although he pretended to be calm, his attention was completely focused on Tong Chaoying and Gu Haitang.
And secretly observing Tong Chaoying.
Tong Chaoying is tall and slender, about 1.8 meters tall, with straight shoulders but not looking burly.
He was wearing a neat suit, and his whole demeanor was refined yet elegant.
Ji Jinliang: Hey, this guy looks quite decent!
At the same time, Tong Chaoying was also secretly observing Ji Jinliang and felt that Ji Jinliang was tall and mighty, with handsome features and awe-inspiring demeanor.
He secretly felt lucky that if Ji Jinliang had not made a mistake that year, forcing Gu Haitang to leave him,
I may not have the chance to snatch Gu Haitang from him.
Tong Chaoying's gaze shifted from Ji Jinliang to Bai Ning's face. He thought that she was Ji Jinliang's current wife, and he couldn't help but frowned.
He couldn't understand how a man like Ji Jinliang could be won over by a superficial woman like Bai Ning.
Gu Haitang smiled and said, "You two are really interesting. You don't talk when you meet, but just stare at each other."
Ji Jinliang then smiled and said, "Mr. Tong, please sit down."
Bai Ning's eyes rolled around at Gu Haitang for a while, then at Tong Chaoying, and then at Ji Jinliang, and his eyelids were so tired that they seemed to be sick.
Seeing Gu Haitang's radiant appearance, my heart was filled with jealousy.
In her heart, she cursed Gu Haitang as an old witch. She was already old, but she seduced one man and then seduced another.
Gu Haitang never bothered with trashy women. In her eyes, there was no such person as Bai Ning. Since she entered the door, she didn't even glance at Bai Ning and just talked to Ji Jinliang as usual.
Qiao Yanxin asked everyone to sit down.
Old Mrs. Ji had just gone back to her room to change clothes, and now she came out of the room accompanied by Aunt Chen.
Gu Haitang smiled and went over to help Old Madam Ji sit on the sofa, pointing at Tong Chaoying and introducing him, "Old Madam, this is Mr. Tong Chaoying, he came specially to celebrate your birthday!"
Tong Chaoying placed the gift box in her hand on the table in front of Old Lady Ji and said politely, "Old Lady, I wish you a long life and good health."
Old Mrs. Ji looked at Tong Chaoying and thought he was a good person. She felt that Gu Haitang would not be wronged if she followed him, and she felt comforted and her smile was very sincere.
"Mr. Tong, it would be enough if you just came. Why do you bring anything with you?"
Tong Chaoying: "As I should. I brought some little things with me. Let the old lady see if she likes them."
As he said that, he opened the gift box.
First, he took out an exquisite box, which contained a Rolex watch.
Then, she took out a box, inside of which was a sparkling pearl necklace.
Mrs. Ji nodded: "Mr. Tong spent the money."
Tong Chaoying smiled and said, "Old lady, I have another treasure to give you."
As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized red bag from the gift box and took out a string of Buddhist beads from the bag.
Tong Chaoying held the beads to Old Lady Ji with both hands and said, "This string of beads was once a favorite of a great monk. The monk chanted sutras every day with this string of beads. Day after day, these beads have acquired Buddha nature. Wearing them can protect you from all evil."
When she was young, Mrs. Ji did not believe in Buddhism, but as she got older, she had more respect for Buddhism. She felt happy from the bottom of her heart to receive such precious Buddhist beads.
"Mr. Tong, you are so thoughtful..."
Old Mrs. Ji had a better impression of Tong Chaoying and became more polite to him.
Gu Haitang, Old Lady Ji, and Tong Chaoying gathered together, talking and laughing, it was very lively, which made Ji Jinliang feel sour and bitter.
Alas, Xiao Haitang was snatched away by Tong Chaoying, and even his own mother was so enthusiastic about Tong Chaoying.
Ji Jinliang felt very pitiful.
In fact, the one who is more pitiful than Ji Jinliang is Bai Ning. Old Mrs. Ji is too lazy to pay attention to her, and Ji Jinliang is unwilling to talk to her. She insists on inserting herself in the middle of this group of people, unable to say a word, which is very awkward.
The elders gathered together to talk, while Qiao Yanxin and Ji Yanli were busy adding tea and water.
Ji Xiangyuan came over and volunteered to Qiao Yanxin: "Sister-in-law, you are amazing. The national policy has just been relaxed and your store is about to open. In a few years, your business will definitely spread all over the country.
Sister-in-law, I am your biological brother. You eat the meat and I will just drink the soup. Please take me with you. I will invest in you and open a bookstore with you. ”
Seeing that his good son was willing to be Qiao Yanxin's younger brother, Bai Ning was so angry that his nose was about to be crooked. He felt that Ji Xiangyuan was very spineless and immediately said, "Xiangyuan, go call the restaurant and ask them to send the food over as soon as possible."
Ji Xiangyuan: "I'm not going. I'm talking to my brother and sister-in-law."
Bai Ning: “…”
Useless thing!
Qiao Yanxin knew that Ji Xiangyuan was a capable man and could endure hardships. It was okay to ask him to help run errands and do some small jobs, but it was definitely not okay to do business with him.
Who made Ji Xiangyuan have a mother like Bai Ning?
Besides, her bookstore was already on track, and she had money, so she didn't need Ji Xiangyuan's investment at all.
Just when he was about to refuse, Ji Yanli spoke first.
"Your sister-in-law is just opening a small bookstore. Does she need your investment? Don't we have any money?"
Qiao Yanxin smiled and said, "Xiang Yuan, the bookstore is a small business and doesn't make much money. If I really bring you in, I don't think I can even pay you a salary."
Ji Xiangyuan said with some disappointment: "Since my sister-in-law doesn't want to take me to play, forget it.
Sister-in-law, if there is an opportunity to make money in the future, please remind me so that I can open a store and earn some pocket money. ”
Qiao Yanxin said generously: "No problem."
At this time, there was another commotion outside. Qiao Yanxin guessed that Ji Jinzhong, Chen Rui and their family had arrived.
She glanced at Ji Yanli, who held her hand and said, "Yanxin, let's go back to the room and rest for a while."
Old Mrs. Ji specially reserved a room in the old house for Qiao Yanxin and Ji Yanli. Aunt Chen had already cleaned the room yesterday and the bedding had also been freshly dried in the sun.
"Um."
Qiao Yanxin also didn't want to stay in the same room with Ji Jinzhong and Chen Rui, so she followed Ji Yanli and left the living room.
Ji Jinzhong and Chen Rui entered the yard carrying large and small bags.
After the last incident, the two of them became much more polite towards Ji Yanli and Qiao Yanxin.
Chen Rui took the initiative to greet Qiao Yanxin: "Yanxin, I haven't seen you for a few days. You are more beautiful."
Qiao Yanxin nodded but didn't respond.
Her attention was focused on Ji Weiwei.
Ji Weiwei had almost recovered, but she looked much more haggard, dry and thin, like a branch that had been broken and thrown in the sun for a few days, dry and ugly, without any vitality at all.
She had a prosthetic eye replaced by her broken eye, so her facial features were barely intact, but her temperament and appearance did not qualify her as "beautiful".
However, Ji Weiwei was still so arrogant, with her chin held high, looking as if she looked down on everyone.
