Chapter 35: 遇見
[Encounter]
Not knowing that the young man in front of him had thought so much in an instant, Ji Ling nodded his head as an answer, “The Li residence’s subordinates take very good care.”
“This is what they should do.” Li Xiao revealed a decent smile, and then exchanged pleasantries. He then looked at Ji Ling’s side, who seemed like a Ger but seemed a bit familiar.
“Excuse me, haven’t we met there before?” Li Xiao looked at him, asking very seriously. He was not too sure, after all, the man he knew was not that good looking, but there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
The moment Li Xiao came close, Tang Xiaobao will try to shrink his own sense of existence, this time to see Li Xiao is still aware of him, and Ji Ling’s eyes also seemingly staring at him which makes Tang Xiaobao lack of air, tangled two seconds, or decided to die not to admit, shook his head.
Seeing Tang Xiaobao’s resistance, Li Xiao felt a little shocked, and then thought that he had been too abrupt, so he quickly apologised, and then left.
After Li Xiao left, Ji Ling looked at Tang Xiaobao and said leisurely, “I think you seem to feel a bit guilty.”
Hearing Ji Ling’s words, Tang Xiaobao desperately shook his head, absolutely not to show. Seeing such a silly Tang Xiaobao, Ji Ling looked at him and for the first time said in front of him, “Silly thing.”
Hearing Ji Ling call him like this, Tang Xiaobao stared at him with his eyes wide open, and seemed to find it hard to believe that he actually said this to himself.
Seeing Tang Xiaobao, who looked like a milk cat even when he was angry, Ji Ling smiled, and before he could touch Tang Xiaobao’s head, some people who knew his identity came forward to talk to him. In order to maintain his image, Ji Ling gave up touching Tang Xiaobao’s hand and turned his head to exchange pleasantries with that person.
Even though Ji Ling is cold, because of the Ji family’s reputation, as well as Ji Ling’s methods, there are still a lot of people who come to talk to him, but this is still someone else’s birthday banquet venue, so no matter what, everyone could not be too unrestrained. They just said a few words, and then left one after another.
When Ji Ling’s surroundings were empty, he heard a sound from outside, looked towards the place, but it was Wan Jingqian who brought Tang Shiman here. Only to see that the two are carefully dressed, and Tang Shiman looks even more delicate and incomparable.
“You say this mother and daughter are also powerful enough, can actually after the death of the Tang family old master can still keep these family assets.” The people who were having a drink on the side looked at the mother-daughter duo and said with great emotion.
Another uncle with a scruffy beard went on to say, looking like he knew a lot of the inside story: “Isn’t it amazing? With that skin and flesh alone, there are many people who want to become the guest of honour, but who has ever succeeded? Moreover the famous poisonous lady, who dares to provoke? Did you not see the last man who wants to use the excuse of the death of the Tang old master to claim property of the family clan, but still clean up one by one by her, this woman is powerful。”
Hearing the words of the two people, Tang Xiaobao turned his head to look at the two people who had just come, only to see that the wife of the Li family was invited in personally. Li Xiao stood by the side of the courteous help reception, thinking of the previous day, he just met Li Xiao who bought food for his sweetheart, he still feels that the two are a little mismatched ah.
“What are you looking at?” Looking at Tang Xiaobao who was staring at one direction, Ji Ling asked with interest.
Tang Xiaobao looked at Ji Ling and shook his head, signalling that he wasn’t looking at anything.
Ji Ling looked at the direction he was staring at, looked at the back of those people, instantly understood, but did not point out bluntly.
The main character of this birthday banquet is the father of the Li family. Sixty years old here is already counted as a high life expectancy, so the people who came to participate there are not reluctant. Even Li’s grandfather specially came over in the middle of the day to exchange pleasantries with Ji Ling for a while before leaving.
The table where Ji Ling was sitting seemed to be filled with people of high status, so it was not crowded. After knowing that Tang Xiaobao is Ji Ling’s husband, the attitude towards Tang Xiaobao is also very courteous, and because of Tang Xiaobao’s status, he didn’t ask to sit at a separate table. With this meal down, Tang Xiaobao feels very satisfied, around are already full of the energy of big men. Ji Ling’s identity status is placed there, plus the eye can see Tang Xiaobao is pampered, so there are no ungrateful people who came to provoke.
After the meal, several people left one by one. Looking at Old Master Li who personally sent the two out, Ji Ling obviously gave respect to him.
“Old Master Li, please go back, today’s business is busy, there is no need to waste time on us. It’s getting late, we should go back.” Ji Ling looked at Master Li, and still did not respond to his repeated requests to stay.
Seeing that Ji Ling’s words were true, and not polite words, he still apologised, “Today is so crowded and noisy, I haven’t been able to exchange pleasantries with Sir Ji, when I have time some other day, I will definitely pay a visit in person.”
“Not to get in the way, Old Master Li, please go back ba.” Ji Ling looked at him, seemingly not caring about what he said.
Finally, after both of them finished their polite conversation, Ji Ling brought Tang Xiaobao and prepared to take the carriage back. Only when he came to the side of the carriage, he saw Tang Shiman who was sent out by Li Xiao and Mrs Li.
The two parties met at the entrance, but one side was slightly cold, while Tang Shiman’s side was much more lively.
When she saw Ji Ling and Tang Xiaobao, Li Xiao gave a greeting in advance, looking a bit surprised, “Mr Ji, you went back so early.”
“I still have some business to attend to at home.” Ji Ling looked at Li Xiao and said indifferently.
Hearing Ji Ling say this, Li Xiao did not say anything else, just don’t know when, Wan Jingqian standing beside them stood out, looked at Ji Ling and said: “Son in law, I can’t believe that we still encountered here, last time, thanks to you, otherwise Shiman, a girl in the middle of the road, if she meets something, I don’t know what will happen.”
Hearing Wan Jingqian open his mouth, that Mrs Li and Li Xiao are a little surprised, just did not wait for them to understand, then heard Ji Ling open his mouth, “no need to be courteous, even if it is a strange woman, I will not let her walk in the mountains like that, not to mention is Xiao Bao’s sister” He spoke in a courteous and detached manner.
Tang Shiman, who was beside him, had locked her eyes on Ji Ling since she saw him appear, and hearing him say that, her heart was really upset. After the last incident, she thought that Ji Ling would at least have a good feeling towards her, but who knew it would still be like this. Just the rest of her eyes looked at Tang Xiaobao standing beside him, a quick flash of anger flashed in her eyes, all because of him. But Tang Shiman hid it very well, and no one noticed the difference.
“Son in law has the heart.” Seeing Ji Ling saying this, but not refuting his own words. Wan Jingqian revealed a decent smile, looking at Tang Xiaobao standing beside Ji Ling, revealing a loving smile, “It’s getting late, you should take Xiaobao back to rest.”
Seeing Wan Jingqian’s posture as an elder, Ji Ling didn’t refute. He just quickly spoke to Li Xiao and the others, then left with Tang Xiaobao.
Until the two of them left, Mrs Li asked suspiciously, “It turns out that the son of Ji is married to your family’s Ger, I thought it was just a rumour, why haven’t I ever heard you guys talk about it?”
Hearing Mrs Li’s words, vaguely questioning, but Wan Jingqian did not care, just softly smiled: “This is because Master Ji just came here at that time, marrying did not want to make a big fuss, for the sake of Xiaobao, we did not say anything more. Now it seems that Master Ji quite loves Xiao Bao.”
Hearing these words of Wan Jingqian, Mrs Li expressed her understanding that when Ji Gongzi just came here, he was indeed low-profile, otherwise he would not cheat Tang House. Now that they know Ji Ling’s background, there are many people who are regretting it. However, the reason why the rumor is a rumor is because they all think that Wan Jingqian would not find such a good family or household for Ger after all, moreover her own daughter has not even settled down.
“Lady Li, it is getting late, so we will go back first. Today’s banquet is all run by madam, so please go back early to rest as well.” Wan Jingqian looked at Lady Li’s ever-changing face and kindly suggested.
Seeing Wan Jingqian say so, Lady Li also no longer retained, and then very straightforwardly said goodbye, “Then Madam be careful on the road.”
Following her mother, Tang Shiman, who had already regained her original form, looked at Duke Ji and softly said, “Madam Li, Duke Li, then my mother and I will go back first.” After saying that, she even made a bow, and then with the support of her subordinates, she boarded the carriage that had been waiting there.
Lady Li looked at her own son staring at the carriage that had already gone away with a pair of eyes, and could not help but sigh. She does not know if she has taught this son too well, completely a look of a gentleman of the world, not having even half of the businessman’s temperament. If they were a scholarly family, it would be fine, but their family business is so big and they only have one son, after all, they need him to inherit.
“Xiao Erl, that Miss Tang has already left, you should follow me back first.” Mrs Li looked at her son and said with some helplessness.
Li Xiao watched Tang Shiman’s carriage leave, and when he heard his mother’s call, he hurriedly came back to his senses, and looked a bit embarrassed, but he quickly tidy up himself and followed his mother back.
Holding his mother, Li Xiao was still thinking about Tang Shiman, who he had just seen, and how good she looked.
When she saw her preoccupied son, she knew her son as a mother, and instantly knew what he was thinking about. She gently patted his hand and said gently, “I know you like the girl from the Tang family, and I also think that girl is a good one compared to her mother. But today I saw how she was getting along with Mr Ji, and I don’t think that’s right. I think you should ask your father what he wants, and if he doesn’t object, then you should find a date to propose marriage.”
Hearing his mother’s first relief on this matter, Li Xiao was very happy, and said towards his mother, “Thank you, mother, I will go to my father to discuss.” He really likes Miss Tang. The first time he met her, he was very happy. Now since he can marry the person he likes, Li Xiao is very happy.
Seeing the young master who was a bit carried away for a while, Mrs Li had to remind him, “You also have to pass your father’s there.”
“Yes.”
