"You and Yaowu should go over and take a look." Kong Siya held her granddaughter. Although she didn't know what her son and Xiaoling were talking about, she said sensibly, "I usually go to school and go home after school, so I don't have time to go out. It's the weekend today, so you can go out for a walk too. Don't be too tense. Your grandmother and I are watching over Niuniu."

"Mom, then Yaowu and I will go over to take a look." Ji Ling did not refuse, and left with her coat and Zhu Yaowu.

When they arrived at the store, Lou Xuemei was the only one in front. Seeing Ji Ling coming over, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiaoling, I was thinking of calling you when there were no customers. Sanmei's sister came with her boyfriend. They are in the backyard. Not long after they arrived, they heard a quarrel. I can't intervene too much. You should go over and take a look."

Zhu Yaowu was really right.

Ji Ling went to the backyard, but Zhu Yaowu did not move and stayed in the front to help Lou Xuemei entertain customers.

Wang Sanmei and two other girls were arguing in the yard. When Ji Ling came in, the three of them saw it.

Xu Ming looked unnatural, and said to Wang Ermei, "I'll wait for you in front."

Without even looking at Wang Ermei, he strode forward and nodded when he met Ji Ling as a greeting.

Ji Ling didn't even look at him, and walked straight to the Wang sisters, "I heard they had a fight?"

"Xiaoling." Wang Ermei greeted with a smile.

Ji Ling nodded calmly, "Ermei, are you and Sanmei arguing? Is your father sick again?"

Wang Ermei's face froze, "No."

Ji Ling said, "I'm glad it's not that. I thought your dad was seriously ill again. If it's not about that, why are you arguing again? I noticed that every time you come over, you guys quarrel."

"Ji Ling, I made you misunderstand. Sanmei and I didn't have a fight. I got engaged today and wanted to ask Sanmei to go to Xu's house, but Sanmei refused to go."

"Engagement? This is a great event, congratulations." Ji Ling said with a smile, "Are Uncle Wang and Aunt Lian here? I haven't seen them for a long time."

"My parents don't have time to come. They will come when we have something to do or something happy."

"Who were invited to the engagement? It can't be just Sanmei, right? That's too few." Ji Ling didn't give Wang Ermei a chance to speak, "We grew up in the same compound. For such a big event as an engagement, how could there be no one from her family? I'll go with Sanmei."

At this point, Ji Ling turned sideways and said to Wang Sanmei, "Sanmei, it's okay to put the store's accounts on hold. There's no rush to deal with it. Ermei's engagement cannot be delayed. I'll go with you."

Wang Sanmei laughed, "Now that you've said that, how can I keep busy with work? Wouldn't it be said that you, as a boss, are mean?"

After the two exchanged glances, Wang Sanmei also understood. She turned her head and looked at Wang Ermei with a faint expression, "Let's go. Xiaoling and I will go together. Parents can't come for such a big thing. I am your sister, and it is really not good not to go."

Wang Sanmei emphasized the word "sister".

When Wang Ermei heard that Wang Sanmei agreed to go, and that Ji Ling also went to give her face, she was naturally happy. She felt that she had married into the capital city with honor, and Ji Ling also wanted to make friends with her.

Xu Ming was sitting on a stool in front, glancing at Zhu Yaowu from time to time. He had heard from Lin Hai that the Zhu family was very powerful, and he had also inquired about it, and it was indeed not an ordinary family.

Xu Ming thought about making friends with the Zhu family through Ji Ling, but the opportunities were rare. Even if he had the chance to meet them, the Zhu family would look down on him with cold faces.

Even at Ji Ling's place, he was treated coldly.

Just when Xu Ming was getting impatient, he saw Wang Ermei and the others coming out, saying that Ji Ling was going to attend an engagement party.

Xu Ming was very surprised.

Zhu Yaowu stood up and said, "I wonder if it would be okay if we had more people? I want to join in the fun, too."

Xu Ming was stunned again when he saw Zhu Yaowu taking the initiative.

Wang Ermei smiled and said, "Welcome. You are giving us face by going. How can we not go?"

Ji Ling and Wang Sanmei exchanged glances. Wang Ermei's words were really flattering.

When Zhu Yaowu drove them, Xu Ming was also very excited.

At Xu's house, Xu's mother was furious when she saw that it was already noon and her son and his family had not arrived yet. However, she tried to make excuses for them despite her sister-in-law's questioning.

"He should be on his way. Otherwise, how could he be late on such a happy day?"

Qi Guangxia held Xu's mother's hand and said, "Chenghua, I know you resent me in your heart, but I have difficulties here too. Yuliang is already 29 years old and looks very good, but when she saw that he was disabled, she turned around and left. She has also looked for someone in the countryside, but Yuliang despised him for being uneducated. If this thing can be done, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life. I don't want the money you borrowed before, and I will just regard it as Yuliang's filial piety to you as his aunt."

Xu's mother smiled wryly and said, "You are too polite, sister-in-law. If Xu Ming's father hadn't been seriously ill, I wouldn't have delayed lending you that ten thousand yuan for so many years. That was exchanged for Liang Yu's leg. How could I, your aunt, be greedy for it?"

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking about this. As a family, we won't talk about this. Just don't blame your sister-in-law." Qi Guangxia knew that her sister-in-law was still making trouble. "You can find a partner for Yuliang from Jiaotong University, so it's only right that you give her 10,000 yuan as a gift."

As the aunt and sister-in-law were talking, they saw a car slowly stop in front of the hotel.

The two looked over and saw Xu Ming get out first, and then two girls got out of the car one after another, one of them was a sister who looked exactly the same.

When Qi Guangxia saw that the two sisters looked alike, her eyes widened. She looked between the sisters, trying to guess which one would be her future daughter-in-law.

Xu's mother pulled her son over and looked at him to ask what was going on.

Xu Ming immediately and enthusiastically introduced Zhu Yaowu and Ji Ling to his mother. Xu's mother also heard from her son that her son's girlfriend was a friend from the same compound and married into the capital, a family of the famous Zhu family.

She didn't think anything of it. After all, they were from the same compound and were not good friends. But when she saw the other party coming over, she felt a little excited.

Suddenly she thought of something, her breath tightened, and then she said, "Hurry up and take the guests inside to sit down, don't let them stand outside."

Xu's mother enthusiastically asked her son to take people into the restaurant, and at the same time, she approached Qi Guangxia calmly.

Watching her son and his men go in, Xu's mother pulled Qi Guangxia a few steps slower to make sure no one would hear them before she spoke in a low voice.

"Sister-in-law, let's put aside what we talked about earlier today. There are outsiders here. The Zhu family is quite powerful. When Ermei marries in, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Qi Guangxia readily agreed and shook her sister-in-law's hand warmly, "Chenghua, Xu Ming has good taste and finds beautiful wives. The two sisters are twins and both are from Jiaotong University. Thank you in advance."
