Battle with the Lover - C264
Even though Ren Jianing had put on a light makeup, her originally rosy face had still turned a little pale from the continuous blows. She forced herself to control her emotions, and just as she was about to leave, she mumbled to herself in a low voice, “Life is like a play.
Even though her voice was soft, Jian Wei, who had always been focusing on her, still heard her. She had a faint feeling that when they met this time, Ren Jianing seemed to want to declare war with her, her actions revealed her malicious intent.
“Don’t worry about her. She’s just a lunatic. I’ll force her back to Canada as soon as I can.” Xiao Yihan understood Jian Wei’s thoughts, and took the initiative to explain everything to her, wanting her to be at ease.
Jian Wei absentmindedly nodded, the doubt in her heart continued to deepen. She didn’t know if it was her misconception, but Xiao Yihan’s words seemed to be a little agitated.
Thinking about it, Jian Wei looked at the porridge in front of her and suddenly lost her appetite.
Chu Ziwei said loudly, “Sister Jian Wei, don’t worry about that person. She just wants to get the upper hand so you can only rely on this messy piece of news. If you keep it in your heart, you will be tricked by her.”
“I don’t have any. I just feel that it’s quite a pity. It’s good to rely on strength for such a beautiful girl. This way, it will definitely affect her future path.” Jian Wei deliberately emphasized on these words, so that they could be heard by Ren Jianing.
No matter what intentions Ren Jianing had, she just wanted her to put these thoughts of hers away as soon as possible.
“Yes, I feel that as long as she focuses on her own career and not on these gossip, she should be able to do something about it.” Chu Ziwei curled her lips, thinking that perhaps she wanted to shock Ren Jianing’s career, she did not believe that she would be able to hold her ground if she were to offend all of the people from a few of the biggest businesses in A City.
Ren Jianing, who was sitting at the table next to them, heard their conversation. His expression remained calm, but his heart was in turmoil, and Xiao Qing placed some dishes into the bowl for her, while laughing, she said, “You have done very well. There is no need to bother too much about things that do not follow your heart, anger is the most useless thing in this world.”
“Thanks Mom, I know.”
If it were not for Old Man Xiao speaking up on stage, Jian Wei would have never known when she would regain her senses.
The Xiao family’s old patriarch was once the president of Xiao Group. Although he was old and no longer had the body he had when he was young, the shrewdness and vicissitudes in his eyes was not something an ordinary person could compare with.
What people experience, lose, and gain in their lives will be shown in their eyes.
“First of all, thank you very much for coming to my great-grandson’s full moon dinner.” Old Man Xiao’s voice was broad and bright, as if anyone could see that he was once in high spirits.
As he raised his glass, everyone on the stage also stood up and raised their glasses. This was a form of courtesy, and also a type of respect.
And what Jian Wei was looking forward to the most was the name that Old Man Xiao had once given her. Even she had not been notified beforehand, it seemed that this would definitely be a pleasant surprise.
Xiao Yihan frowned as he took Jian Wei’s wine cup and switched it with a cup for her. Then, he said in a stern voice, “You can’t drink right now.”
“Alright, I’ll listen to you.” Jian Wei smiled at him extremely obediently.
When Old Man Xiao saw this scene, he felt extremely gratified in his heart. He had finally obtained all the things that he had been pursuing for the rest of his life.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he began to announce his name.
Originally, it was an ordinary matter, but with Old Man Xiao concealing it over and over again, it became even more mysterious.
In the end, only three words came out of his mouth.
Xiao Ruofeng.
It didn’t have a deep meaning, nor was it a chess board that looked forward to becoming a dragon. Instead, it gave off a feeling of freedom.
Facing a name, Old Man Xiao explained, “Actually, I’ve thought of many names. I just brought these in front of him and asked him to pick one, because I hope that from the start of his life, he will choose the one he likes. And the three words’ Xiao Ruofeng ‘was chosen by him as well.”
As soon as he finished speaking, applause rang out from the audience. Everyone was moved by the words of the Xiao family’s old patriarch. This should be the heart of an elder towards his junior.
Jian Wei muttered to herself a few times, “Ruofeng, Ruofeng, why does this have the style of a martial artist?”
“He chose this himself. He doesn’t blame anyone else.” Xiao Yihan’s gaze was entirely focused on Jian Wei, and did not display much interest in this matter with the name.
Suddenly, a person stood up and asked, “Master Xiao, you gave this name to your great-grandson, is it because you don’t want him to become the successor to the Xiao Group? After all, a person like the wind will not easily stop at something. ”
“Haha,” Old Man Xiao laughed when he heard this, “Let’s wait for him to grow up before answering this question. I can’t decide for myself. If he likes it, of course I can inherit it. If he doesn’t like it, no one will force him.”
This sentence sounded simple, but in reality, it was Old Man Xiao’s promise and favor. He intentionally glanced at Xiao Yihan, but was actually avoided by Xiao Yihan.
Jian Wei turned her head to the side and whispered into Xiao Yihan’s ear, “Actually, I do not wish to inherit your career from the bottom of my heart.”
“Why?”
“Because you are too busy and too tired. I believe that if you had other choices when you were young, you might not have inherited the family’s inheritance.”
Xiao Yihan’s expression was a little gloomy, Jian Wei’s words had indeed spoken into his heart. He paused for a moment, then said: “In the future, just let that brat mess around.”
“Do you really agree?” Jian Wei didn’t dare believe it. One must know that the Xiao Group held an important position in Xiao Yihan’s heart. After all, this had been his hard work since he was young.
“Of course, since my wife has spoken, I will not raise any objections.”
Other than the awkward scene of Ren Jianing appearing at this Full Moon Feast, everything else was very safe and sound. After everyone was done eating, they carried Xiao Ruofeng out. Many of them praised her cuteness, saying that they would definitely be able to inherit Jian Wei’s and Xiao Yihan’s beauty in the future.
After looking at the child, Chu Ziwei, who had the most reaction, excitedly tugged at Lan Zhenghan’s sleeves who was sitting beside her. “No way, I want to have a child too, it’s just too cute.”
Lan Zhenghan sighed, took her hand away from his sleeve, and advised with good intentions, “Then you should give up on Chu Feng as soon as possible, or else, you will never have a child in your entire life.”
“What do you mean?” Chu Ziwei suddenly opened her eyes wide, “Let me tell you, as long as I don’t give up, I will definitely succeed.”
“Alright, alright, you can succeed.” Lan Zhenghan’s words were very perfunctory. From the perspective of a friend, he hoped that Chu Feng would have a perfect ending. Although Chu Ziwei’s heart wasn’t mature enough, it was still good for him.
Just that, thinking about how he drove the car away, Lan Zhenghan was still worried for the two of them. The love Chu Feng had nurtured was too deep, other than him, no one could save him.
