good old days

Chapter 719 Wedding Banquet
Jiang Xinyu just jumped on Chen Yi and did not kiss Chen Yi in front of her son and mother-in-law.

After the hug, Jiang Xinyu pulled up the suitcase that Chen Yi sent away and entered the house, unzipping the suitcase as if she was expecting to open a magic box.

Chen Yi picked up Jiang Yan and weighed him, "Yeah, it's a lot heavier than last year."

Jiang Yan's face turned red due to embarrassment, and he called out "Dad" in a soft voice.

Wang Sumei is sad.

First the wife, then the children, and finally it was her turn. No, they hadn't even looked at her yet.

When Wang Sumei was feeling sad, she noticed her son's eyes moving over and immediately put on a heartfelt smile.

"Mom, thank you for your hard work."

Wang Sumei's eyes filled with tears, "It's not hard, it's not hard, just come back."

Jiang Xinyu was touching the crocodile skin bag. At this time, she interjected without raising her head: "Isn't it hard for me?"

She and her mother-in-law have been getting along very well in the past few years. Jiang Xinyu didn't mean to target anyone by saying this, it was just to stir up the atmosphere. She didn't think her mother-in-law would be petty and angry.

Not only was Wang Sumei not angry, she held back her tears after hearing her words, "Go, go, you have to fight with me about everything."

"It's almost dinner time, I'll cook right away."

Jiang Xinyu reminded her: "Mom, we have to go to the wedding today, otherwise our whole family will go."

She carried a new bag on her back, and also took a new off-white bag for her mother-in-law, pushing her in to change clothes.

The main hall was quiet, and Jiang Xinyu asked a question that Wang Sumei also cared about very much, "Are you still leaving after this trip?"

Chen Yi had a slight smile on his face, "I'm not leaving."

Wang Sumei poked her head out of the room and asked happily: "Are you really not leaving?"

He said "hmm" again with certainty.

Jiang Xinyu's heart was bubbling with beauty, "That's really great."

She looked him up and down. His light blue shirt and black trousers were still the same as in the past. She got closer and smelled him. There was a faint aroma of tobacco and no other peculiar smell.

"We are going to a wedding banquet, do you want to rest at home?"

He looked like "Are you kidding me?" He squeezed his son's fleshy little hand and said, "I'll go with you."

Although he had driven for six hours during the day and did not have a good rest last night, it did not prevent him from going out with her.

Jiang Xinyu put her hands on her hips: "Okay then, you don't need to change clothes."

The family packed up and got into the black car. Jiang Xinyu noticed the bruises under his eyes and took the initiative to sit in the driver's seat, letting him sit in the back seat and hold the child.

The inside and outside of the car showed that it was a new car. Wang Sumei asked: "Did you buy the car?"

Chen Yiying later said: "The customs mentioned it, not to buy a car. I should have arrived home a few days ago."

Wang Sumei took a deep breath.

What kind of family is hers now? She actually has two cars, and they can’t even fit them in the yard.

Watching Fan Yumei, who lived behind her, walking close to the roadside, Jiang Xinyu asked, "How is Yu Minmin?"

Chen Yiyan said concisely and concisely: "I went to the hospital two months ago and heard that a suitable bone source had been found. However, the other party was unwilling to donate it free of charge. Yu Minmin's father asked me for a loan again."

Jiang Xinyu: "How much is the loan?"

Chen Yi: "Fifteen thousand dollars. I went to see him before I left. The bone marrow transplant has been successful, but he is under observation. If it goes well, he will be back soon."

Wang Sumei asked: "It's easy for you to borrow money, what do they want to pay back?" It's not that she doesn't want to help others.

Fan Yumei, who has always been a person of great virtue and fame, but is so virtuous, can she still get the fifteen thousand yuan back?
Yu Xiling is not a bad person, but he has given her two yards to her house, where can he get the money?

Chen Yidao: "He has communicated with Professor Yu. There is a set of shops in Wangfujing, and the property rights are disputed. But if his family wants to take it back, they have the right of first refusal, and it should be half cheaper than others. What Professor Yu means is , we paid for the purchase, and the shop belongs to us, and the land deed is 370 square meters.”

Wang Sumei's mind was spinning, "Then we lost or made a profit."

Jiang Xinyu answered: "We didn't lose, it was Teacher Yu who did."

How much will the Wangfujing facade be worth in the future?

It doesn’t matter what outsiders say whether it’s a loss or not. For the teacher, it’s worth it if he can save the life of that girl Minmin.

The venue for the wedding banquet was in a large courtyard very close to Tiananmen Square. The courtyard was surrounded by water systems, peonies and pines, and the scenery was pleasant.

The bustle of a wedding here is different from that of a wedding in the countryside. There are not many guests, and the voices of everyone talking are kept low.

A change from the carefree manner of the past. Today, Gu Bowen treats guests quite decently as a host.

"Teacher Jiang, who is this? Why don't you introduce me to me?"

Jiang Xinyu said with a smile: "This is my husband Chen Yi, who just came back from abroad."

Gu Bowen's eyes lit up, "Brother Chen, have you ever won a special prize in a science and technology competition?"

Chen Yi felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by this boy with admiring eyes. He nodded and said, "It's me."

Gu Bowen: "You also donated hundreds of thousands of dollars."

His slightly excited voice attracted the attention of many people, and soon a crowd of people gathered here.

Chen Yi didn't want to be watched like this, so he used his trump card: "How was your college entrance examination score?"

Excited Gu Bowen: "...!"

The atmosphere was slightly stagnant, he waved his hand and said: "Compared to you, it's not worth mentioning."

Don't mention it again!
For Chen Yi, it has been almost a year since the donation. Even if there was some turmoil in the capital, that turmoil should have passed.

What he didn't know was that he had become the representative of "outstanding students from other families" that was passed down by word of mouth in families like Gu Bowen.

Gu Bowen admired capable people and followed Chen Yi as his little follower as if he couldn't read people's faces.

"...The person getting married today is my cousin Gu Xinhua. The person standing behind my cousin now is my sister Gu Wei. She is also studying in the United States. She rushed back because her cousin got married..."

Jiang Xinyu took advantage of every opportunity: "How much did you estimate?"

Gu Bowen hesitated: "Teacher Jiang, today is a happy day, don't mention those unhappy things."

Jiang Xinyu nodded: "Okay, let's not mention it today. You can go and entertain others. You don't have to be so polite to us."

Gu Bowen glanced at Chen Yi and left with great reluctance.

His pretense and changing gender to female would make her think too much.

During the dinner, Jiang Xinyu always felt like someone was staring at her, but every time she looked up, she couldn't find the source of her gaze.

After drinking a lot of water, the toilet is located in the southwest corner for convenience. When I came out, I saw two women standing beside the pine tree, arguing.

No, it's not a quarrel, it's a middle-aged woman giving a unilateral and fierce lecture to another young woman.

The middle-aged woman's voice sounded familiar, and Jiang Xinyu was sure that the other person was Feng Man, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
