Chapter 143 Attending the Fu Family Birthday Banquet
Entered the house.
The golden retriever picked up the slippers and put them at her feet.
Jiang Ningxi felt that it was even going to take off her shoes with its mouth.
He quickly raised his hand and said, "Stop!"
"Well, since you're not that stupid, I can keep you for a while."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Chengan, who was hiding behind the sofa in the living room, immediately popped his head out.
"Great! Dajin can play with me from now on!"
Jiang Ningxi looked at him, eyes narrowed slightly, "You were the one who taught it, right? It's carrying things and holding shoes."
Wang Cheng'an came over skipping and looking up, with a flattering smile on his chubby face.
"I think Dajin is very cute and obedient. Auntie, please don't chase it away."
"I will be responsible for training it from now on."
Jiang Ningxi nodded reluctantly, "Okay, I'll leave it to you then."
"But if it causes me any trouble in the future, I'll ask for your help!"
"Also, calling me Dajin really doesn't sound nice."
Wang Cheng'an tilted his little head and looked at her, his big eyes twinkling.
"What should we call it then?"
"Call for wealth! It's festive, fortune-attracting, and grand!" Jiang Ningxi said seriously.
After saying this, he nodded with an affirmative look on his face.
Wang Chengan always felt that this name seemed... not very grand.
But whatever my aunt says is what it is.
"Then call Lai Cai!"
Jiang Ningxi raised her hand and rubbed his little head, then took out a box of packaged pastries and handed it to him.
"Go play with Laicai."
Wang Chengan took the pastry and ran to feed Laicai with his short legs.
So, when Jiang Yuchen came back, he saw two people and a dog sitting on the carpet eating.
He said weakly, "Is there anything to eat? Come on, have a bite!"
Jiang Ningxi took a piece of cake and placed it in front of Laicai, motioning him to pass it over.
Laicai obediently held the thing in his mouth and trotted to Jiang Yuchen.
Look at the pastry placed on the ground, covered with a layer of transparent drool.
Jiang Yuchen's mouth twitched. "I don't have to eat this cake."
He turned around and walked towards where Jiang Ningxi was sitting.
One of them reached out, snatched the pastry she had just picked up, and stuffed it into his mouth.
The next second, he exclaimed in surprise.
“Rong Kee’s pastries!”
Jiang Ningxi rolled her eyes at him and said, "I think so. Xie Jinxing gave it to me."
"No wonder, this pastry is not only expensive but also limited in quantity. Anyone who wants to buy it has to queue up." Jiang Yuchen said as he ate with big mouthfuls.
"Why are you so hungry?" Jiang Ningxi tilted her head and looked at him curiously.
Jiang Yuchen said, "The director kept calling out 'cut' today!"
"Just filming those few scenes was exhausting."
After eating several pieces of cake, he spoke again.
"By the way, I have something to tell you."
"The old man of the Fu family is going to celebrate his 70th birthday and hold a banquet. He has invited many wealthy and famous people. Naturally, our Jiang family has also been invited. What do you think? Do you want to go?"
Jiang Ningxi replied expressionlessly, "Not interested."
What she hated most was attending those banquets, which were a complete waste of time.
Jiang Yuchen didn't give up and asked again, "Really not going?"
"What do you mean?" Jiang Ningxi felt that there was something else behind his words.
"Jiang Xinyao will also go at that time." Jiang Yuchen said.
"So what?" Jiang Ningxi asked back.
Jiang Yuchen raised his hand and scratched his head. "It's nothing special. I just thought that if I said that, you would be willing to go."
"Why do you insist on letting me attend this party?" Jiang Ningxi felt really strange.
Jiang Yuchen looked at her and finally decided to tell the truth.
"Actually, no one in our family wants to go, so Dad told me to go."
"But I don't want to go alone."
Jiang Ningxi found it funny. So that's what happened.
"Don't go."
Jiang Yuchen was very disappointed.
"Sister, just go with me. I feel safe with you around."
"If you don't go, I'm worried about being bullied."
"That's the Fu family's territory. Aren't you worried about me, your brother?"
"What's there to worry about? Who will eat you?" Jiang Ningxi snorted and laughed.
But soon she felt strange again, "Where is Jiang Yuchuan going? Shouldn't he go?"
Jiang Yuchen curled his lips and said, "My eldest brother said he had something to do that day, so he definitely can't go."
"But if no one from our Jiang family goes, it won't work."
"Sister, please come with me."
A pair of watery, round puppy eyes stared straight at Jiang Ningxi, revealing five parts of caution, three parts of flattery, and two parts of expectation.
This made Jiang Ningxi feel that if she didn't agree, she would become a big bad person.
I clearly wanted to say no.
But when the words came to his lips, he changed his mind and agreed.
"...Never mind, I'll help you."
"Why don't you just call me sister from now on? It's useless. You still need me to protect you!"
"It's not nice to call you sister. It makes you sound old." Jiang Yuchen smiled.
Then he happily started eating the cakes.
Jiang Ningxi rolled her eyes at him, "When is the party?"
Jiang Yuchen took a bite of the pastry and a sip of tea before speaking.
"Three days later."
Jiang Ningxi calculated the time in his mind.
By that time, her scenes would have been almost finished.
"Okay."
Three days passed in a flash.
That day, Jiang Ningxi wore one of the two dresses that Jiang Yuchen had given her.
Jiang Yuchen was responsible for driving, and the two went to the Fu family together.
The Fu family's old villa is on the hill north of the city.
When Jiang Ningxi and the others arrived, it was already nightfall.
But the hilltop where the Fu family lived was ablaze with lights.
One luxury car after another kept heading towards the top of the mountain.
When they arrived at the door of the Fu family's old house.
Someone came over and opened the car door.
Jiang Ningxi lifted her skirt and got out of the car, looking at the ancient palace in front of her, which was said to be the largest in Yuncheng and covered an area of 100 acres with six courtyards.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
As expected of a family with royal blood, the Fu family has a profound foundation.
Jiang Ningxi couldn't help but feel a little sour inside.
When will she be able to live in such a big house?
It doesn't matter whether it's an authentic ancient palace or not. What matters is that there is a mountain! There is a courtyard of your own on the mountain!
This is the most important!
It’s more enjoyable than living in a villa!
Seeing her expression, Jiang Yuchen knew what she was thinking.
He whispered in her ear, "Are you thinking of having a house like this?"
Jiang Ningxi turned around and looked at him and asked back.
"no?"
"Of course not, it's just a little difficult." Jiang Yuchen said in a low voice.
Even the Jiang family doesn’t have it.
"Unless you can marry into a family with such a background."
Jiang Ningxi turned around and rolled her eyes at him, "Then I might as well rely on myself."
"Well, you help me too, and we can buy it together."
"I won't get married, you do, and when I'm old I'll pass these on to your children."
"Think about it, you've made a killing!"
Jiang Yuchen pondered this and felt that he had indeed gotten the upper hand.
But I felt something was wrong.
Forget it, we are all family, so let’s not make a fuss about it.
"If you like it, let's save up money and build one!"
As they spoke, the two of them entered the Fu family's gate.
As soon as he stepped through the door, he handed the gifts they had given him to the doorman.
A middle-aged man in a silver-gray Tang suit walked towards me.
Jiang Yuchen recognized it.
This is the housekeeper of the Fu family’s old house.
"Young Master Jiang, Miss Jiang, and Young Master Jiang are in the small garden over at the second courtyard."
