Ji Huai and Yuan Qi's engagement banquet was held at a hotel in the city center. Ji's family was sparse, and Yuan Qi had no natal family, so there were not many tables.

Those who came to join in the excitement were Chen Mei’s colleagues and surrounding neighbors.

Yuan Qi was in the hotel room. She was wearing a dress. The makeup artist had just finished applying her makeup. Her already outstanding facial features were even more stunning. She looked up and saw Ji Huai's eyes fixed on her. She was so shy.

Change the subject, "You can just get married, it's so troublesome."

This has to be done twice and the cost is high.

"Mom doesn't mind the trouble. She's so busy when she's not busy with work." Ji Huai walked to the side and took out the high heels, squatted at her feet and put them on for her, "Get engaged and then get married, step by step."

Yuan Qi stretched out her legs, looked down at him, thought about it and said, "Mom told me last time that she can help us take care of the child, but she can't have one even if we get married."

"She didn't know you were going to graduate school at that time, so she won't urge you now." Ji Huai helped her get dressed and squatted down to look at her, "Marriage and having children have nothing to do with each other. I can support you in a legitimate way."

Yuan Qi lowered her eyes, looked at the diamond ring on her hand, and murmured in a low voice, "I'm not at a loss anyway. Your income after marriage is still half of mine. Just be happy with it, as long as you can think openly."

In fact, she didn't plan to get married so early. She was still studying and would graduate three years later, but he suddenly proposed, catching her off guard.

She originally thought she would just get married, but then he said he would get engaged and then get married, and then go get the certificate. In fact, she thought she could get the certificate directly without having to go through so much trouble.

But she was also very touched. In the past, she always felt that with such a life experience, she would be looked down upon by others, but no, she was taken seriously.

Hearing this, Ji Huai laughed softly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and nodded, "Okay, I'll count you half, as long as you're not afraid."

"What do I have to be afraid of?" Yuan Qi didn't think there was anything. She had been with Chen Mei for a long time and felt very good about it, and so did she.

When Ji Huai stood up, she naturally put her hands around his waist and said softly, "I can do anything with you, and you are so busy."

"Am I so busy that I can't even get married? Only by resolving major life issues early can I go all out in my career. Besides, I won't feel at ease if I don't settle down early. I'm busy at work and you're at school. What if..." Ji

Huai didn't finish what he said, his expression was extremely serious, "When you study, just study hard, don't have any other thoughts, even the slightest!"

That look, with a hint of warning, made Yuan Qi helpless, she should be worried, okay?

He worked in the company. He was young and earned a lot of money. He was coveted by many people. She continued to hold him, tightening her hands and raising her head slightly, "Didn't you let me wear the ring? Who would?"

Taking care of a married woman?"

I bet all of this is well-intentioned.

Ji Huai was amused by the fact that she said she was a married woman. He arched his eyebrows, reached out and gently pinched the tip of her nose, and corrected, "A married girl."

After saying that, he pulled her up and said, "Let's go out."

Yuan Qi was led by him and walked towards the hall.

Her delicate little hands were wrapped in a pair of big hands. She looked at his upright figure in front of her, and all her clear and beautiful eyes reflected his shadow.

The hall was very lively.

Chen Mei was busy, walking around with a smile on her face. She had not been so happy for a long time, greeting everyone.

Seeing Yuan Qi coming, she walked over and asked, "Are you hungry? We will have dinner in a while. Do you want to eat something to fill your stomach first?"

"I'm not hungry." Yuan Qi shook her head, "Mom, please take a rest."

"It's okay, it's okay." Seeing someone coming, Chen Mei hurried up and greeted them warmly.

Ji Huai also led Yuan Qi up.

Their engagement banquet did not accept gifts, so there were quite a few people who came, all of whom were Chen Mei's old friends. In fact, it was lively and lively. Since Ji's father left, the family has been lifeless and has always been quite depressed.

The two of them stood at the door to greet the guests. When Yuan Qi saw Liu Mu, she didn't recognize her for a moment. She had permed her hair, wore a pearl necklace and a jade bracelet. She looked jeweled and had heavy makeup on her face.

"Do you have tattoos on your eyebrows?" Aunt Zhang asked as she walked.

"Yeah, does it look good? I'll get a lip tattoo after a while. Anyway, our Xiaotong doesn't have to worry about me now. She's getting old and it's time to enjoy happiness." Mother Liu carried her bag,

He twisted around and walked over.

"The way you dress up makes your old lady worried," Aunt Li joked.

"Who cares what he does? We women must love ourselves at all times." Mother Liu raised her hand, for fear that others would not know that she had the same jade bracelet on her hand.

Chen Mei only announced in the community, and everyone came, so she came. Liu's father didn't come because he was embarrassed, so he went to drink tea with his friends.

What's there to be ashamed of?

Chen Mei said it would be fun to come together, but she didn't say she couldn't come.

Aunt Zhang looked at the bracelet on her hand with sharp eyes, "Hey, when did you buy the bracelet? Now I wear a pearl necklace and a bracelet, it's just different."

Hearing this, Mother Liu smiled widely, pretending not to care, lifted her bracelet and looked at it again, "Oh, this is the bracelet that my mother-in-law gave to our Xiaotong. If she doesn't wear it, isn't it for me? No.

What a pity it is for people to wear it? So I have no choice but to wear it."

As she spoke, she walked up to Ji Huai and Yuan Qi, and asked Yuan Qi, "Does it look good? Does it match my temperament?"

"Yeah. I want to go to the store and buy one for my mother." Yuan Qi nodded, smiled and looked at Ji Huai sideways, "Shall we go buy it tomorrow?"

Chen Mei's hands are still empty. She received a full scholarship and still has money in her hands, which can buy something worth ten thousand yuan.

Ji Huai: "Well, I'll listen to you."

Yuan Qi was satisfied and took another look at Liu Mu's jade bracelet, just to check out the style.

Liu's mother's face darkened and she shook her hands, "Xiaotong's mother-in-law bought this for her. It might not even be worth hundreds of thousands!"

"It's just right that it's so expensive, which makes our thoughts even better. As for jade bracelets, only hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands are worth collecting." Ji Huai answered with a smile, "My mother doesn't know about the cheap ones and won't be willing to wear them. So,

It’s so expensive that I definitely won’t be willing to throw it away.”

Liu's mother was choked and could not refute. Ji Huai was now prosperous. It was said that he had several million dollars a year, so people could afford it.

"Auntie, sit inside." Ji Huai gestured very politely and asked the waiter to bring a few people in.

Before Mother Liu showed off, it was as if a basin of cold water had been poured down on her. She was so suffocated that she couldn't breathe, felt uncomfortable all over, and secretly twisted her face with anger.

When everyone came together, the engagement party began.

After the ceremony, the gift was not too much, sixty-six thousand, just for good luck. Chen Mei originally said to let Ji Huai add more, but Yuan Qi stopped her. She originally said to give eight thousand eight, and was taught a lesson by Chen Mei.

G.

She didn't give her 8,800 yuan when she got married more than ten years ago. She was embarrassed to tell her, and those who didn't know thought she was being treated badly.

Three golds and one diamond, everything you should have is missing.

Mother Liu was sour at the bottom, "My daughter's wedding gift may be 3.88 million, and the 66,000 yuan is only a small gift. It only cost 66,000. It is also bullying her natal family."

"Come on, if my son-in-law's annual salary is so high, I won't give you another car for a penny, and I will try my best to get the bride price. I won't be able to survive in the future?" Aunt Zhang shot back, "You are just too short-sighted to stare at everyone.

If you stick to the front, you will easily suffer a loss!"

"What have I suffered? After my daughter gets married, I will enjoy a happy life." Mother Liu was very unconvinced.

From now on, she will live in a big house and enjoy good food and drink.

Everyone ignored her. They came to join in the fun. In fact, they were quite happy. The food on the table was very good.

How much can be eaten for a large table of dishes?

There must have been a lot left in the end, and those that had not been touched were packed away. Because an extra table had been booked, Liu's mother was the first one to rush over to pack the food.

He yelled at the waiter to take the bag, which was completely inconsistent with his image. He also kept shouting, "Hurry up."

"Hurry, come here and help me unload the bag. How can I empty it by myself?"

...

Ji Huai and Yuan Qi were seeing off guests. They chatted at the door for a while as they sent their uncle back.

The other party looked at Yuan Qi and was very satisfied, and stuffed a thick envelope over her, "You have a good sense. It doesn't matter if you get married, you will be able to settle down and work hard for your family."

"No gift money will be accepted." Ji Huai nodded and pushed back.

"It's not for you, it's for your wife to study. Our family hasn't had a master's degree yet, but you married one. They are all the same and are role models." Uncle Chen said and stuffed it into Yuan Qi's arms.

Yuan Qi also took it and wanted to go back, but Ji Huai had no choice but to let her keep it while he followed to see Uncle Chen off.

After sending two uncles as gifts, people from the Ji family also came. Grandma Ji was so happy that she stuffed some money into her and was not allowed to refuse.

I said I would not accept gifts, but these relatives alone gave me tens of thousands.

After sending them away, before Ji Huai and Yuan Qi could take a breath, the sound of quarreling suddenly came from inside.

"What happened?" Chen Mei also walked in quickly.

At this time, in the hall.

Mother Liu picked up the broken jade bracelet from the ground, looked at the waiter in front of her with trembling hands, and shouted loudly, "Do you know how valuable this bracelet is?"

"This is a gift from my daughter's mother-in-law. It's at least a hundred thousand, do you know?"

Upon hearing this number, the waiter's face turned pale.

"Can you afford to pay?" Mother Liu scolded again, pointing at her, "Go and call your manager over, no, call your boss over. You have to pay for this bracelet!"

"You bumped into me yourself, I didn't mean it." The waiter was still holding the bowl, his eyes were red with anxiety.

"Didn't you break it? Didn't you break it by hitting it? You held the bowl against my bracelet, can it withstand it?" Mother Liu looked at the bracelet and suffocated in pain, "Anyway, you

If you want to compensate, this matter is not over yet!"
