271 Ingratiate yourself

Hearing what she said was so righteous, Luo Jiahe was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in, "Mom, how could you say that?"

"Why can't I say that?" Old Mrs. Zhou shook her face.

Luo Jiahe immediately didn't know how to talk back.

Zhao Mingqi had always known her sister-in-law's temperament, and she would definitely suffer a loss when she met the old lady. So she endured her contempt and said with a smile, "In-law, what you said just now, it's a blessing that we just heard it. If this spreads, haha, the reputation of the Ye family will be damaged..."

"What does it mean? It will ruin your reputation if you want a betrothal gift?" Old Mrs. Zhou was quite polite to Zhao Mingqi, without any sarcastic expression, but her tone was not good.

Zhao Mingqi said, "It's okay to ask for a betrothal gift, but you're asking for too much. Jiang Zhen's wealth is rich, but you can't just ask for billions of dollars when you open your mouth, right? Who doesn't get such a big deal in marrying a wife? If someone knows, I have to ask you, is it marrying a daughter or selling her daughter?"

Old Mrs. Zhou's face turned blue and white when she was squeezed. However, she still grabbed the billions of words she said. Her face couldn't get over, but her heart was trembling with excitement, "This, can this house really be worth billions?"

Zhao Mingqi glanced at her sister-in-law sympathetically and said to Old Mrs. Zhou speechlessly, "I just said so broadly that this house has a price but no market, and I can't buy it for no amount of money. This is something that can be passed on to my descendants, and it is a kind of identity and decency."

This was originally a saying that made Mrs. Zhou give up, but her eyes brighter after hearing this, "That's right, it's identity and decency. Living in this place, even if you don't have money in your pocket, no one dares to underestimate you when you go out..."

Zhao Mingqi had nothing to say, picked up the cup and had tea, thinking about finding an opportunity to remind her niece, and it was impossible to count on convincing the old lady.

Not long after, the Lu family also came. The four of them were holding things in their hands. The most eye-catching thing in Lu Xiwen's hand was a three-layer big cake with an exquisite box covering the outside.

After several families met, they exchanged greetings again.

Next, Ye Jiqing and his family were dressed more carefully than usual. When they walked into the hall, the excited expression on their faces had not yet been covered. The shock they saw along the way was enough to subvert their previous cognition. It turned out that the life of a real nobleman was like this, and finally realized what the saying that poverty restricted my imagination.

Ye Jiqing could still be more serious and sat with Luo Jiashu and Lu Yandong, quietly trying to integrate into their circle.

Luo Jiashu doesn't like these social engagements, and most of the time he drinks tea in silence. Lu Yandong is versatile. With him, you don't have to worry about the cold situation. However, it's hard to say what the smile in his eyes is a bit real.

On the other hand, Tao Lingshan did not have Ye Jiqing's determination. She was not very enthusiastic about Zhao Mingqi. She knew that this was Luo Jiahe's sister-in-law. No matter how she curled up, she would not be able to pull herself. Although she didn't do that useless work and just maintained a little face, she was much more earnest towards Cheng Xueqing. Luo Jiahe was glad that she was quite tactful, otherwise they would be embarrassed.

"The people who came are almost the same, right?" Tao Lingshan looked around and found another topic that was close to chat.

Luo Jiahe didn't say anything. She didn't know what to say. The guests they invited were indeed here. They didn't plan to be mostly a family dinner. But according to Jiang Zhen's wishes, someone should come. Of course, it was not for them, but for Jiang Zhen's face.

Zhao Mingqi asked, "Didn't her sister-in-law come?"

Ye Jixun's family must have no shame and no courage to come, but Ye Meiling has no reason not to come, right?

Luo Jiahe reluctantly smiled, "Her sister-in-law said she was busy with work..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingqi pulled the corner of her mouth, worried about Tao Lingshan being there, and said nothing too bad. "So you are busy with work? It's understandable. As long as you didn't deliberately seek excuses to refuse, otherwise it would be too heartbreaking. I still remember when I saw her at your house for the first time. Oh, she was a little older than Zijin. You and your brother-in-law treated her as a daughter, and they were so nice to her..."

As soon as he clicked, Zhao Mingqi tsk twice and stopped talking. Anyway, no one can understand the following words.

Tao Lingshan was a little embarrassed and said dryly, "Brother and sister-in-law are really good to Meiling..."

Then there was nothing.

Zhao Mingqi stared at her quietly, and that's all? She didn't even say a word of justice.

If Mrs. Zhou sat here, you could say that you were afraid of her, but if she went to the bathroom, you wouldn't want to show your brother and sister-in-law goodbye?

Tao Lingshan lowered her head and drank tea.

Cheng Xueqing was not easy to stay out of the matter at this time. In terms of relationships and closeness, she must support Luo Jiahe, so she said with a smile, "Can you forget your elder brother if you have a boyfriend, right? No matter how good your boyfriend is, can you still have your own brother to kiss you?"

Zhao Mingqi cooperated and asked, "Which young master did her sister-in-law look for?"

Cheng Xueqing didn't need to act any posture, she just needed to speak out a little bit of disapproval and could step Feng Jiaxing onto the ground, "Oh, it's the second young master of Dazhan."

"The Second Young Master of Dazhan?" Zhao Mingqi thought about it in contemplationly and shook her head, "It seems that I am too ignorant and don't know you."

Cheng Xueqing chuckled, "It's normal that you don't know each other, and you're not from the same circle."

Zhao Mingqi's mother's family is not a businessman and is not very famous in the imperial capital. But as long as people in the cultural circle know about the Zhao family, Zhao Mingqi's father is a famous translator, her mother is a writer, and she herself is an editor. Even though the traditional media has declined now, she still sticks to a magazine.

Tao Lingshan's attitude towards her was that she exposed her low cultural level. Fortunately, she was still a Chinese teacher, so she underestimated the weight of the Zhao family.

As the few were talking, Ye Meiling actually came, but she still held Feng Jiaxing's arm. I came with a high profile and enthusiasm. The drivers behind me were carrying exquisite gifts in their hands, and followed them step by step to highlight the identities of the two people in front.

"Didn't you say you can't come?" Zhao Mingqi asked Luo Jiahe, her eyes a little meaningful.

Luo Jiahe shook her head, she didn't know what was going on, and she didn't tell Ye Meiling the location, so how did they find it here?

Cheng Xueqing said slowly, "He is a smart person who knows the current affairs."

Know to seize the opportunity.

Luo Jiahe was not stupid either. She suddenly felt something and her face looked a little bad.

Over there, Feng Jiaxing had already greeted Lu Yandong and Luo Jiashu. Of course, the point was that Lu Yandong and his son were flattering and were good at socializing.

It's just that on such occasions, it's a bit out of place.

Ye Jihong felt uncomfortable and changed the topic several times, but Ye Dean stopped him.
