Chapter 809: Avoid like snakes and scorpions
Everyone:...
It sounds nice, but if she really didn't mean to ask for more gifts, he should have stopped Jiang Guo the moment she opened her mouth.
Now that he had drawn everyone's contempt, he stood up and said that they had no intention of asking for more gifts.
Does he think others will believe it?
Nangong Xi: ...
It doesn’t matter whether you want more gifts or not, I won’t give them anyway.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the entire wedding banquet seemed very strange.
"It's all misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Let's drink." Seeing this, the head of the Pan family had to come out to smooth things over.
In fact, he was also wondering whether Nangong Xi would give him the beauty pill or the magic sword.
If they gave away these two things, the Pan family would make a fortune.
As soon as the head of the Pan family came out to smooth things over, everyone started toasting each other again.
After all, even if you despise them in your heart, you still have to give face to the Pan family.
During the banquet, Jiang Yin's eyes kept falling on Zhou Luqi.
She found that Zhou Luqi had really changed completely. Before, no matter where she was, Zhou Luqi's eyes were always on her.
Now Zhou Luqi didn't even look in his direction.
He was always talking and laughing with the two people beside him.
Did he really let go of himself?
The head of the Jiang family whispered something to Jiang Guo, and Jiang Guo looked in the direction of Zhou Luqi with a determined look in his eyes.
Jiang Yin and I are twins. It can be said that except for our different personalities, everything else is the same.
Zhou Luqi once liked Jiang Yin so much. As long as I take the initiative, I believe Zhou Luqi will also fall in love with me.
Because Jiang Guo stood up and walked towards Zhou Luqi with a glass of wine.
At this time, Zhou Luqi turned around and said something to Nangong Xi with a smile.
"Mr. Zhou." Jiang Guo's coquettish voice came.
Zhou Luqi turned around when he heard the voice, and when he saw it was Jiang Guo, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.
"Is there something wrong?" Zhou Luqi asked coldly.
"Mr. Zhou, I just came here to offer you a toast." Jiang Guo said softly.
Seeing this, Jiang Yin, who was dressed in wedding clothes, immediately became gloomy.
When she saw Jiang Guo walking towards Zhou Luqi, she knew what Jiang Guo was planning.
However, in Jiang Yin's eyes, even if Zhou Luqi was once unwanted by her, Zhou Luqi should always have a special liking for her, and no one else can touch her.
Even if this person is your own sister, it won’t work.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Luqi just looked at Jiang Guo with indifference and was too lazy to pay any more attention to her.
"Mr. Zhou, Guo'er and Yin'yin are twins. When we arranged your marriage, we didn't say which one it would be. It was just that Yin'yin is the older sister, so it was assumed to be her. Since you and Yin'yin are not destined to be together, why don't you consider Guo'er?" After saying this, the head of the Jiang family looked at Zhou Luqi.
Zhou Luqi:…….
Is the Jiang family planning to rely on me?
Everyone:...
Speaking of which, the head of the Jiang family is quite thick-skinned. He went to the Zhou family with great fanfare to break off the engagement, and now that he sees that the Zhou family has risen, he shamelessly wants to stick to them again.
"We in the Zhou family can't afford a girl like you from the Jiang family who likes to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak." Zhou Lurou said with disdain in her tone.
Upon hearing this, the Jiang family head's face immediately turned pale.
Zhou Lurou's words did not give him any face at all.
"Miss Zhou, it's not up to you to decide Mr. Zhou's marriage, right?" said the head of the Jiang family in a deep voice.
"The eldest sister is like a mother. Now that my grandfather is not here, my sister naturally has the right to make the decision." Zhou Luqi's words directly slapped the head of the Jiang family in the face.
"Mr. Zhou, what's wrong with Guo'er?" When Jiang Yin saw that Jiang Guo was rejected, she was actually so happy that she went crazy in her heart, but on the surface she had a questioning expression.
"What's so good about it?" Zhou Luqi had an expression that said, "I just don't like you."
"Guo'er is good in every way." Jiang Yin said.
Zhou Luqi almost rolled his eyes speechlessly.
"Marrying Guo'er is the dream of many young men." Jiang Yin continued.
"Dream? May I ask which young master here dreams of marrying Miss Jiang? Stand out, stand out bravely, let us see." Nangong Xi looked at the crowd and said loudly.
When everyone present heard this, a strange look flashed across their faces.
Although the Jiang family didn't say it, everyone knew that Jiang Yin followed Pan Xu before getting married.
In this case, who would dare to marry a girl from the Jiang family without being afraid of being cuckolded?
Seeing that everyone was silent, everyone in the Jiang family looked embarrassed.
Because Nangong Xi was asking about the girls from the Jiang family, this included all the unmarried women in the Jiang family.
"How about this, everyone here, if someone successfully proposes to Guo'er today, I will give her a purple ginseng as a gift." In order to save the face of all the girls in the Jiang family, Jiang Yin agreed and took out a purple ginseng.
As soon as Jiang Yin finished speaking, there was a commotion at the wedding banquet.
Nangong Xi's lips curled up in a hint of disdain.
"If it's a beauty pill or a magic sword, I'd still consider it. Although purple ginseng is rare, it's not worth sacrificing my whole life for a purple ginseng."
"That is, by comparison, lifelong happiness is more important."
"You are really brave. Even if you were given a beauty pill or a magic sword, I would not dare to marry you. Who can think of guaranteeing the prosperity of their family?"
"You're right. I wouldn't dare to do that either."
……
Amid the commotion, the voices of the young masters talking could be heard.
Upon hearing this, the faces of the Jiang family members became even gloomier.
Nangong Xi and the others almost died of laughter when they saw this. They never expected that the young masters of the noble families would avoid the girls of the Jiang family like the plague.
Seeing this, Jiang Yin didn't know how to end the situation for a moment. In the end, it was the head of the Pan family who came out to smooth things over, and the matter was barely resolved.
The wedding banquet ended in this weird atmosphere.
Nangong Xi and the others went straight back to Zhou's house after the wedding banquet.
Although the City Lord's Mansion now belongs to the Zhou family, both Zhou Lurou and her siblings and Old Man Zhou are still used to living in the Zhou family.
For Mr. Zhou, the City Lord's Mansion is just his office, not his home.
After returning to Zhou's house, Nangong Xi and the others sat together in the yard and chatted.
Old Master Zhou listened with a smile as Zhou Lurou told about the interesting things that happened at the wedding banquet.
"Speaking of the wedding banquet, Shopkeeper Liu came to me today and suggested that you and Liu Zhao get married as soon as possible." Grandpa Zhou said with a smile.
"This is a happy event. Grandpa, do you agree?" Zhou Luqi said happily upon hearing this.
"I'll ask Manager Liu to choose a date." Old Master Zhou nodded.
"Lvqi also said that if he could see Sister Zhou find her own home with his own eyes, he would have no regrets at all." Nangong Xi conveyed to them what Zhou Luqi said ten thousand years later.
The three members of the Zhou family all laughed when they heard this.
Although they could not see the Lu Qi of ten thousand years later, the Lu Qi of ten thousand years later really did a lot for them.
"Lvqi, don't worry, we will be fine." Old Man Zhou said towards Nangong Xi.
Sitting on the other side of Nangongxi ten thousand years later, Lu Qi said: …
Grandpa, I'm here, not there!
