You are the sweet that I can't hide

Chapter 1603

This thought made Shu Ge laugh at himself.

With Chu Xiuzhi's position and identity, he has never seen any important person, even though the opponent is Chengnan Jin's, he shouldn't be nervous, right?
But in fact, Chu Xiuzhi and Meng Shan did seem to be a little weird today.

After a while, the staff of the Head of State came in to report:

"The Jin family is here."

As soon as Chu Xiuzhi moved, he immediately stood up and walked towards the door.

Meng Shan cast a wink at Shu Ge, and followed along.

Standing beside Meng Shan, Shu Ge heard footsteps approaching.

Suddenly, Jin Zhanheng walked into the banquet hall accompanied by an elegant old lady in a cheongsam.

That old woman should be the mother of the Jin family siblings, the old lady of the Jin family.

Mrs. Jin was accompanied by a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, who looked of high status.

Shu Ge knew that this was Chen Longkuai, the son-in-law of the Jin family, —— Jin Yuan's husband, Zhao Zhixun.

But today only the three members of the Jin family came, and Jin Yuan was not seen.

Chu Xiuzhi's eyes lingered among the three for a few seconds, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his pupils. He still upheld the etiquette of the host, restrained his disappointment, and looked at Jin Zhanheng's mother and son:

"Long time no see, Auntie, Zhanheng."

When Shu Ge heard Chu Xiuzhi address the two of them, it seemed that they knew each other very well in private, and felt a little strange.

The old lady Jin's expression did not change: "The head of state of Chu really killed us. We can just call them according to the rules. It's unbearable to be called so affectionately."

Seeing that Mrs. Jin didn't give Chu Xiuzhi much face when she came, Meng Shan broke the stalemate and joked:
"The old lady was joking. With the status of the Jin family in the south of the city, how can you not bear it. If you follow the rules of a hundred years ago, you can be regarded as a dignified princess."

"Farewell, you also said that that was hundreds of years ago, and the times are different now. Our Jin family has long since fallen into Pingyang and become a minister. Your surname is Chu, and you are the emperor." Mrs. Jin is not yin Yang, with a bit of sarcasm.

Shu Ge was apprehensive, why was this dinner a bit like swords and swords?

It sounds like the Jin family and Chu Xiuzhi have some old grudges.

Chu Xiuzhi raised his hand, signaled Meng Shan to step down, and respected Mrs. Jin's wishes: "Anyway, on behalf of the capital, I would like to thank Mrs. Jin for coming.... However, it seems that there is still one missing."

Zhao Zhixun on the side said, "I'm sorry, my wife is not feeling well, so I can't come today."

Chu Xiuzhi's expression froze, and the disappointment in his eyes deepened.

Meng Shan, on the other hand, seemed to be relieved, and her tense face relaxed a lot.

Shu Ge saw the expressions of the two of them exactly, and the suspicion in his heart was even bigger.

After a long while, Chu Xiuzhi came back to his thoughts: "Is that so? Ge Ge is not in good health. Do you need to send a doctor from the capital to have a look?"

"Thank you, Head of State Chu, for your concern. No matter how poor our Jin family is now, we still have money to pay for the doctor. Don't bother you to care." Mrs. Jin dismissed Chu Xiuzhi's intention to continue to make friends, and then Added a sentence: "Besides, my son-in-law will take good care of him."

Zhao Zhixun also nodded: "Yes. Don't worry, my wife is fine."

Chu Xiuzhi glanced at Zhao Zhixun, but didn't say anything. He stretched out his hand and motioned everyone to go in: "In that case, please take your seats."

Shu Ge was even more inspirational. The way Chu Xiuzhi looked at Zhao Zhixun was so familiar to her.

Fu Nanting looked at all the men around her with this look.

Putting away his thoughts, he was about to follow in, but he heard a voice.
