Yan Yun stood up and spoke first, "Grandma Qi, I just saw Brother Mingwen go out to take care of something. He should be back soon!"
"Yes! I just heard Mingwen seemed to be dealing with company matters!" Seeing Yan Yun pass on the conversation, Yang Min also followed suit.
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Qi looked at the two men's expressions for a few seconds before regaining her composure.
Qi Mingwen, who was now making a phone call in the garden, had no idea what was happening in the main hall.
Yang Min quickly called his confidant and asked him to urge Qi Mingwen to return to the main hall.
After Yan Yun spoke, he sat down casually.
While Yang Min was busy serving Old Madam Qi, she was secretly observing Yan Yun.
Yan Yun naturally knew that many of the people present were looking at her all the time, and she had to be careful with her words and actions for fear of displeasing the old lady of the Qi family.
At this time, Qi Mingwen, who had been doing business outside, finally walked into the main hall.
"Brother, you are late for grandma's birthday too!" Qi Mingce snorted coldly when he saw Qi Mingwen arriving late.
"Mingce, your elder brother is also concerned about the company's affairs, and he has his reasons!" Yang Min was frightened when he saw his youngest son suddenly mention this matter, his face changed and he scolded him.
"Sister-in-law! What you said is not right! Mingce knew to congratulate mom on her birthday in the hall, so why didn't Mingwen know to attend on time?" Shi Yu, the second wife of the Qi family, said with a smile.
Yang Min shot him a murderous look, then responded, "Ming Ce has been dealing with all sorts of company matters these past few days, so he's naturally quite busy!"
Shi Yu's face suddenly changed, and he was about to get angry, but Old Madam Qi grabbed his wrist.
"Mingce will naturally handle the company's affairs carefully!" Old Mrs. Qi said with dignity.
"Yes, Mom!" Yang Min nodded quickly in response, like a chick pecking at rice.
In the Qi family, what Old Lady Qi said was like an imperial decree.
Now that Old Lady Qi has spoken, the descendants of the Qi family dare not speak nonsense anymore.
The guests present all looked at each other, pretending they hadn't noticed this little incident.
"Grandma, it's my fault! I'll give you a glass of wine to make up for it!" After saying that, Qi Mingwen picked up a pot of white wine from the table and drank it directly.
"Master Qi, you are truly amazing!"
"Yes! Young Master Qi's style of doing things is quite similar to that of Old Master Qi back then!"
"No wonder the Qi family's business is growing bigger and bigger! It's all thanks to Old Madam Qi's excellent parenting! This family tradition is truly unique!"
......
Everyone raised their glasses and cheered for Qi Mingce and Old Lady Qi.
Old Mrs. Qi also smiled and talked to everyone while drinking tea instead of wine.
However, Qi Mingce was surrounded by people, who gave him all kinds of compliments and congratulations.
Yan Yun, however, remained seated, continuing to concentrate on eating the delicious food in front of him.
Since she crossed over to this world, she has not had a drop of water or a single grain of rice to eat.
Now that there are finally so many delicious dishes, she must try them all.
Yang Min leaned over to her eldest son Qi Mingce and whispered, "You weren't here just now, it was the Yan family's daughter who helped you out!"
Qi Mingce's gaze instantly fell on Yan Yun. Seeing her eating so heartily, he couldn't help but frown.
Did the Yan family treat her harshly?
Or is the Yan family going bankrupt?
Yang Min was about to mention to her eldest son the arranged marriage between them and the Yan family, but she saw Yan Yun busy eating.
Yan Yun noticed that someone was staring at him. When he looked up, he saw Qi Mingce and Aunt Min looking at him.
"Cough cough cough!" Yan Yun choked and put down his chopsticks, suddenly picked up a glass of water and drank it down with "dong dong dong".
"Mom, has Yan Yun always been like this?" Qi Ming asked in disbelief.
"Well, Mom hasn't seen Yan Yun for a long time!" Yang Min replied uncertainly.
Both of them tacitly withdrew their gazes, pretending that they had not seen what had just happened.
010 immediately said, "Host, you scared them all!"
"Well, I hadn't eaten yet when I came here! I was so hungry! You can't let people just work without eating, right? As the saying goes: Man is iron and rice is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be very hungry!" Yan Yun shook his head and told 010 all this.
However, 010 refused to listen and anxiously jumped up and down, "Host! How can you win the Qi family's marriage if you are like this?"
"Isn't there still Old Madam Qi?" After Yan Yun had eaten and drunk his fill, his eyes fixed on Old Madam Qi who was sitting in the upper seat.
Fortunately, the original owner had heard that Mrs. Qi liked Bodhisattvas, so he specially asked someone to find such a natural white jade stone, and then through careful carving, he carved the seated statue of Guanyin into a very beautiful image.
"You're eating here and you don't even show up. How could Mrs. Qi marry her eldest grandson to you for no reason?" 010 couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Yes, you're right! I'll go right away!" Yan Yun picked up a glass of wine from the table and walked towards where Mrs. Qi was sitting.
"Grandma Qi!" Yan Yun squeezed his cheeks, trying to make himself look lively and sunny, and smiled sweetly at Grandma Qi.
"The girl from the Yan family, right?" Old Madam Qi, wearing a pair of reading glasses, saw Yan Yun approaching and waved with a smile, "Come over here!"
"Yes, Grandma Qi!" Yan Yun pushed Shi Yu, the second wife of the Qi family, aside and approached Grandma Qi with a smile.
"The little girl from the Yan family has grown up so much! I remember how old you are?" Old Mrs. Qi looked at Yan Yun's face closely. She saw that her cheeks were chubby and she looked a bit like a doll in a New Year picture, which made her inexplicably pleasing.
"I'm already twenty-two years old!" Yan Yun sat obediently beside her and responded with a smile.
"Twenty-two years old? Then you must have graduated?" Old Mrs. Qi asked with concern.
"Yes, Grandma Qi!" Yan Yun nodded and responded.
"So, Mingwen is five years older than you!" Old Mrs. Qi looked at her gently and said.
"Yes!" Yan Yun's eyes sparkled with some life and energy.
"Mom, come to think of it, Yan Yun and our Qi family are destined to be together!" Yang Min saw that Old Lady Qi was so impressed with Yan Yun, so she struck while the iron was hot and said, "I took Mingwen to the Yan family to play before, and at that time, Xinyue even smiled and arranged a marriage for her daughter-in-law!"
Seeing that Yang Min actually took the initiative to mention the early childhood marriage between the Yan and Qi families, Yan Yun turned his head to look at her in surprise.
"Mom!" Qi Mingwen looked displeased when he saw his mother bringing up this matter.
"Why are you so shy, kid?" Yang Min saw Qi Mingwen's unhappy expression, and hurriedly pressed his hand down and said to Mrs. Qi.
