Chapter 70 Christmas Reunion Dinner
"Then you don't need to appear. Why do you come here?" Ji Zhenzhen is ready to break the casserole and ask to the end.
"I'm here to sign. I've cheated readers once. I can't even sign it!" Rong Zilin said, swinging his wrist casually, "I just signed hundreds of books in a row, and this wrist really hurts a little."
"Zi Lin, can you promise me something?" Ji Zhenzhen asked in a low voice with a red face.
"What's the matter? Naturally, I will agree to your matter. Rong Zilin looked at Ji Zhenzhen's lovely appearance and couldn't help but be moved.
"Sign it for me!" Ji Zhenzhen said excitedly, took out a new book by Lin from her bag and respectfully handed it to Rong Zilin, "Here, I have bought this book for a long time, and I have even prepared a pen for you."
Rong Zilin was a little amused by Ji Zhenzhen. He took the book and pen and wrote his signature on the page of the book.
"Great, I finally have Linzi's signature!" Ji Zhenzhen shouted with joy.
"Jingzhen, I'm Lin Zi's matter. I hope you can keep it a secret for me."
"No problem, this is the secret between us." Ji Zhenzhen nodded quickly and could have a secret with her idol, which was an honor for Ji Zhenzhen.
It happened that Rong Zilin was also preparing to return to Rongjia Villa for Christmas, and Ji Zhenzhen happened to take a ride.
As soon as she entered the Rongjia Villa, Ji Zhenzhen saw the eldest wife, the second wife, the third wife and her mother Hu Shuixin talking in the lobby on the first floor. Looking at the relaxed expression on Hu Shuixin's face, Ji Zhenzhen was a little relieved and could see that the other wives did not embarras Hu Shuixin.
"Zi Lin, why did you come back with Miss Ji?"
When the eldest wife saw Rong Zilin and Ji Zhenzhen entering the villa together, she immediately stopped Rong Zilin.
"I also saw Jane on the way, so I came back with her." Rong Zilin said casually.
"Don't go out later. Your elder sister will also come back today. Let's have a reunion dinner together." The eldest wife is in a good mood today, with a faint smile on her face, which is very different from her usual serious appearance.
"Yes, old lady." Rong Zilin replied respectfully.
Ji Zhenzhen noticed that the bright lights on the Christmas tree on the first floor of the villa had also been lit. The Christmas tree was colorful and sparkling with a festive atmosphere. Ji Zhenzhen took a look at the gifts under the Christmas tree and secretly counted a few of them that would be her own.
"When will Zihong go to the United States?" The third lady asked in a charming voice. Today, the third lady wore a sapphire blue dress, her hair was high and coiled up, and she looked much nobler than usual.
"I'm leaving tomorrow." The second wife answered casually, but she didn't look well. Her son was going to study abroad, and he would naturally be reluctant to be a mother.
"The bad situation in the United States is very good. Our Bandung Group also has a branch there. You can also often visit Zihong. Don't worry too much." The first lady kindly persuaded the second wife.
"Sister, I know." The second wife's eyes were slightly red and nodded.
At this time, Rong Shichang came in from outside the door, surrounded by a bright fourth wife holding his arm. Today, the fourth wife was dressed very beautifully with a happy face.
"Shichang!"
Several wives and Hu Shuixin got up happily as soon as they saw Rong Shichang coming back, but Hu Shuixin was squeezed behind by the three wives. Ji Zhenzhen couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable when she saw Hu Shuixin's lost face.
However, what makes Ji Zhenzhen uncomfortable most is this discordant picture of one husband and five wives, as if she had returned to the feudal society in the past. Ji Zhenzhen secretly swore in her heart that she would never be a little wife.
"Jhenzhen, go upstairs to change your clothes, wash your face, and eat later." Hu Shuixin walked to Ji Zhenzhen's side and said gently to her.
"Okay, I'll be down in a few. Ji Zhenzhen nodded. She was really worried about letting Hu Shuixin be alone with several wives. Ji Zhenzhen has played the role of protecting Hu Shuixin since she was a child, and she knows Hu Shuixin's character, and she is not honest.
Ji Zhenzhen returned to her room and changed into a beautiful red dress. Today is Christmas, and she will naturally wear more festive clothes.
Ji Zhenzhen is unwilling to eat with the wives of the Rong family, but there is nothing she can do for Hu Shuixin. Ji Zhenzhen only hopes that Hu Shuixin can marry Rong Shichang as soon as possible, so that she can find a reason to move out.
When Ji Zhenzhen was neatly dressed and came to the first floor of the villa again, Rong Shichang's eldest daughter Rong Xin and her husband Jiang Zheng have also returned, and Rong Shichang's second daughter Rong Jia also sat on the sofa on the first floor with her boyfriend Zhuo Li.
"Jenzhen!" Rongjia saw Ji Zhenzhen and greeted her happily. Rongjia was wearing a white tweed dress today, which looked elegant and charming.
"Jiajia, senior!" Ji Zhenzhen is obviously very happy. In addition to the three brothers, only Rongjia is good to herself in the Rong family.
"Why don't you see Zijun and Zihong?" Rong Shichang saw that everyone in the Rong family had arrived, but there was no Rong Zijun and Rong Zihong, so he asked.
Ji Zhenzhen also found that there was indeed no Rong Zijun and Rong Zihong. Without these two eye-catching handsome men, the scenery of Rong's villa was much lower. Fortunately, Rong Zilin and senior Zhuo Li supported the facade.
"Zijun went to pick up Miss Chu. Zihong went to school to go through the transfer procedures, and he won't come back for dinner today." The old lady responded immediately.
Miss Chu? Is it Chu Haitian's sister?" Rong Shichang asked.
"Yes, Zijun and Miss Chu have been together for a long time." The second wife replied gently.
"Very good. Rong Chu's marriage is the best thing. Zijun really didn't let me down." Rong Shichang nodded with satisfaction and then said, "I already know about Zihong's going to the United States. Since he likes art, let him go there."
Ji Zhenzhen listened to Rong Shichang's words, but she felt very uncomfortable. Rong Shichang obviously agrees with the relationship between Rong Zijun and Chu Qing. After all, the two are family-to-door. Although Ji Zhenzhen is very frustrated, she has to admit this fact. She also deeply feels that she and Rong Zijun have no future.
"Master, the meal is ready. When will the meal be served?" Liu Qing, the housekeeper, came out and respectfully asked for instructions.
"We can have dinner when Zijun and Miss Chu come back." Rong Shichang replied lightly.
"Don't wait!" At this time, Rong Zijun's voice came from outside the villa, and soon Rong Zijun walked into the villa with Chu Qing.
Chu Qing is dressed very elegantly today, with a long beige dress with carefully curly hair, and her whole body is as noble as a princess.
Ji Zhenzhen looked at Chu Qing and then at herself. She couldn't compare with Chu Qing at all, like an ugly duckling.
"How are your uncle Rong, how are your wives?" Chu Qing elegantly greeted the Rong family and handed a few beautifully packaged gifts to Liu Qing, the housekeeper. "This is the best double-headed abalone I have prepared for Uncle Rong. I hope Uncle Rong will accept it."
"Miss Chu is so polite. Is your brother Haitian okay?" Rong Shichang said with a smile.
Rong Shichang is obviously very satisfied with this future daughter-in-law. Chu Qing is not only beautiful, knowledgeable and capable, and she is also Chu Haitian's sister. Chu Qing deserves the position of the future hostess of the Rong family.
"Brother, he is very good. Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Brother also misses Uncle Rong!" Chu Qing said with a smile.
Chu Qing's elegant demeanor and sweet smile stimulated Ji Zhenzhen all the time, making Ji Zhenzhen find the gap between herself and Chu Qing more and more deeply.
"Miss Chu, you're welcome. We will be a family in the future." The old lady has a rare smile, and it can be seen that she is also very satisfied with Chu Qing, the future daughter-in-law.
"Aunmother, just call me Chu Qing. This is for you. I was brought back from Europe." Chu Qing said and sent an exquisite gift box to the old lady.
The eldest wife opened the gift box in front of everyone, which contained a dazzling crystal brooch.
"This brooch is made of natural crystal in Australia, with decompression, heart and lung protection and other functions. It is most suitable for a noble and elegant lady like your aunt."
Chu Qing very flatteringly pinned the crystal brooch to the old lady's chest, which really made the old lady's already beautiful clothes today more eye-catching and immediately became the focus of the audience.
"It's really beautiful, and the handicrafts are exquisite!" The eldest wife's face showed a surprised look, and her eyes looked at Chu Qing more soft.
"Congratulations, sister!" The third wife was the best at looking at people's faces and immediately went to the eldest wife's side and said flatteringly.
"What congratulations to me?" The old lady asked with a smile.
"Congratulations on having such a filial daughter-in-law!" The third lady said and deliberately looked at Ji Zhenzhen.
"Cough..." Rong Zijun suddenly coughed twice. He never used to the third wife's face when he saw the wind steering. "Father, since the whole family is here, why don't we have dinner?"
"Yes, I forgot to keep Miss Chu waiting for so long!" Rong Shichang suddenly realized and said to Liu Qing beside him, "Liu Qing, go and let the kitchen cook!"
"Yes, sir!" Liu Qing immediately went to do it respectfully.
Ji Zhenzhen came to the restaurant with everyone and sat in an extremely remote corner. She knew her identity in the Rong family, and it was most appropriate to sit in this unattended corner.
Ji Zhenzhen looked at the people of the Rong family talking and laughing, and there was an indescribable feeling in her heart. The whole restaurant was full of the children of the Rong family and their boyfriends and girlfriends. Even Hu Shuixin was about to join the Rong family.
But among all of them, Ji Zhenzhen is the only outsider, the one who is superfluous. This strong sense of loneliness is constantly eroding Ji Zhenzhen's heart.
