Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 468: What a Handsome Child

"Come on, Uncle Song, Aunt Wu, please come this way."

When Luo Guofu saw Song Guochang and Wu Cai'e trying to enter the courtyard, he hurriedly took a few quick steps and ran to the front to lead the way, hoping to avoid punishment from Yao Meilan and Luo Huijuan.

After all, Song Guochang and Wu Cai'e were not like the neighbors in this courtyard, but distinguished guests from outside.

You can't make a fool of yourself in front of distinguished guests, right?
Soon, he brought Song Guochang and Wu Cai'e to the main table with enthusiasm. At the same time, he also saw Li Dawei and Yao Meilan next to the main table, staring at him with unfriendly faces. It was obvious that they already knew what he had done outside.

This instantly made him feel a chill on his back, and he quickly turned around to help greet the guests.

Sure enough, seeing him like this, Li Dawei and Yao Meilan did not get angry, which made him feel a little better.

Immediately afterwards, a car horn suddenly sounded outside the yard, instantly attracting the attention of everyone present.

Just when everyone was guessing who the person outside was, Song Guochang's face suddenly fell.

Because he knew that the only person who could come by car at this time would be Director Chen Wen'an, the top leader of their East District.

Chen Wen'an did this not only to show his strength in front of Old Li's family and those neighbors, but also mainly to steal the limelight from him.

He was quite helpless and aggrieved about this.

Although his rank was only half a level lower than Chen Wen'an, this small gap made a considerable difference in the way they were treated.

At this moment, his obsession to continue climbing up became stronger than ever before. He wished he could immediately climb over Chen Wen'an's head and completely trample him under his feet.

In order to achieve this goal, in addition to having a relatively outstanding performance at work, the most important thing is to be appreciated and promoted by others.

Soon, he set his sights on Li Guoqiang, who was holding his child and showing off in front of his neighbors, with a look of deep expectation in his eyes.

Not long after, Yan Bugui, who was sitting next to the archway and responsible for collecting gifts, saw a middle-aged man and woman in bright and beautiful clothes walking towards the gate of the courtyard.

Moreover, behind them, there was a muscular young man carrying several packages in his hands. It was obvious at first glance that he was a follower.

Seeing this, Yan Bugui instantly understood their identities, and then hurriedly stood up and shouted loudly:
"The distinguished guest has arrived!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Wen'an, who was walking in front, unconsciously revealed a satisfied smile on his face.

Yu Jiaxue, who was following beside him, showed a slightly reserved smile.

As for the young man walking at the back, he suddenly quickened his pace, handed the things in his hand to Yan Bugui, and said in a low voice:
"Uncle, this is a gift from Director Chen Wen'an and his wife."

"Got it!"

When Yan Bugui heard this, he nodded quickly and agreed, then he took the things and put them away swiftly.

Then, Chen Wen'an walked up to Yan Bugui, took out a red envelope from his pocket and placed it on the table.

When Yan Bugui saw the thickness of the red envelope, he was momentarily shocked. He quickly picked up the gift list and pen on the table, bent down slightly, and handed them to Chen Wen'an with a respectful look on his face.

Soon, Chen Wen'an took the pen and left his and Yu Jiaxue's names on the gift list.

At the same time, Li Guoqiang, who heard the noise, came to the outside of the archway with his child, Li Dawei, Yao Meilan and Luo Huijuan, and greeted them enthusiastically:

"Uncle, aunt, you are here!"

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen'an put down his pen and raised his head, quickly glancing at Li Guoqiang, Li Dawei and others.

Among them, he just glanced at Li Dawei and Yao Meilan, with no fluctuation in his eyes at all.

When he saw Luo Huijuan, his eyes lit up instantly. He was obviously amazed by Luo Huijuan's beautiful appearance and gentle and virtuous temperament.

Fortunately, he was not a hungry ghost, and he could also see that Luo Huijuan was Li Guoqiang's wife, so he quickly shifted his gaze and looked at Li Guoqiang and the child in his arms.

Just as he was about to say hello, a figure suddenly flashed before his eyes.

"What a handsome child!"

The next moment, Yu Jiaxue suddenly rushed in front of Li Guoqiang, and looked at the child in his arms with shining eyes.

It looked like a hungry wolf seeing fresh meat.

Chen Wen'an looked at this scene, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly for a moment, and then a very helpless look appeared faintly.

As Yu Jiaxue's husband, he has long been aware of how much Jiaxue is obsessed with girls.

If he hadn't been quite good-looking, he probably wouldn't have been able to marry a beauty like Yu Jiaxue.

"How about you give me a hug?"

When Li Guoqiang saw Yu Jiaxue like this, he was stunned for a moment, and then when he came to his senses, a hint of white appeared in front of his eyes, and he smelled a faint fragrance at the tip of his nose.

This made the corner of his eyes twitch slightly, and then he quickly looked away, took a step back, and spoke with a chuckle.

"Okay!"

When Yu Jiaxue heard what Li Guoqiang said, she immediately nodded excitedly and agreed. Then she stretched out her fair and soft hands, took the child, and looked at him with baby eyes.

If you don’t know, you would think this is her child!
"that."

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang ignored Yu Jiaxue and turned around to introduce Chen Wen'an, "Uncle, this is my parents, and this is my wife."

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Huijuan shouted with a dignified and generous face:
"Uncle!"

"Hey!"

When Chen Wen'an heard Luo Huijuan's soft and pleasant voice, he nodded and agreed quickly, then shouted to Li Dawei and Yao Meilan, "Brother-in-law! Big sister!"

"Hey!"

Li Dawei and Yao Meilan nodded and agreed after hearing this, then hurriedly said, "Well, don't stand here, let's go in and sit down, and then we can talk!"

After saying that, they made a gesture of invitation to Chen Wen'an.

Seeing this, Chen Wen'an didn't say anything polite and immediately walked into the courtyard.

Soon, he saw Song Guochang and Wu Cai'e standing next to the main table, and a playful smile immediately appeared on his face.

Ever since he learned that Song Guochang had relied on some rare materials to curry favor with several high-ranking officials, he did feel a sense of urgency in his heart.

However, after he knew that these materials were provided by Li Guoqiang, and asked Li Guoqiang to provide him with a batch of materials, he had already eliminated the advantage that Song Guochang had gained. According to this situation, he only needed to maintain his relationship with Li Guoqiang so that Li Guoqiang could not be completely won over by Song Guochang, and then Song Guochang would not have the opportunity to take his position.

Otherwise, with his current status and position, how could he possibly accept a poor relative like Li Guoqiang?
"Director Chen!"

Seeing the smile on Chen Wen'an's face, Song Guochang cursed him inwardly for pretending, then hurried forward and said with a laugh, "I didn't expect you to come too. If I had known you were coming, I should have waited for you to come together!
After saying this, he did not forget to make a gesture of invitation to Chen Wen'an.

In his words, he was implying that Chen Wen'an was putting on airs when he came to his relative's house for a meal, and that he drove here to show off.

"Ah!"

Chen Wen'an seemed to not understand what Song Guochang meant when he heard this. He just chuckled and said, "I didn't expect you to come and attend my nephew's hundred-day celebration!"

After saying that, he walked forward without any hesitation and sat in the VIP seat on the left side of the main table.

Originally, this position was where Song Guochang sat before.

Seeing this scene, Song Guochang's face instantly became a little gloomy, and then immediately turned into a smiling face, and then he laughed and said: "As the saying goes, it is better to arrive in time than to arrive early. We have to drink a few more glasses today."

As he spoke, he had already sat down opposite Song Guochang.

Wu Cai'e sat quietly beside Song Guochang, looking like a husband who followed his lead.

Although the relationship between the couple had long since become as cold as water, over the years, she would always give Song Guochang enough face in any formal occasions.

This is also one of the main reasons why Song Guochang felt a little guilty towards Wu Cai'e and agreed to let Wu Cai'e go out to find food.

Because he was unable to give Wu Cai'e a normal married life, but Wu Cai'e gave him the face of a normal man.

"That's daring!"

When Chen Wen'an heard what Song Guochang said, the corner of his mouth raised, then he nodded and said, "I remember that since you were transferred to work in our East District, we haven't sat together for a good drink!
Now that we have happened to meet, we can drink to our heart's content all at once."

After saying that, he took the action himself, picked up the jug and poured a glass of wine, then raised the glass and gestured to Song Guochang.

When Song Guochang saw this, there was no expression on his face. He even raised his wine glass humbly and clinked it with Song Guochang in the air.

However, in his heart, he was somewhat disdainful of Chen Wen'an's behavior.

Because he knew that if Chen Wen'an really cared, he would not have never taken the initiative to invite him to dinner after he had been transferred to work here for so long.

The reason I say this now is simply to use it as a pretext to say that he is just an outsider and to let him face the reality in the future.

However, the more this happened, the more he felt dissatisfied.

After all, in his opinion, Chen Wen'an was just a man who had managed to get such a director position by luck thanks to his wife's family background and the tide of the times.

And he, both in terms of family background and ability, is much better than Chen Wen'an.

The only shortcoming is that his network of contacts is basically in the Shanghai Stock Exchange and cannot provide him with much help.

However, he believed that he could make up for this disadvantage through his own efforts.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. As a strong smell of alcohol rushed into his mind, a high fighting spirit surged in his heart.

You know, in order to make progress, he even gave away his wife. If this still can't make him rise to the top, then God is too unfair to him.

"Come on, Director Chen, I'll fill it up for you!"

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen'an nodded slightly in agreement, then did not focus his gaze on Song Guochang. Instead, he turned his head to look at Yu Jiaxue, who was holding the child and talking and laughing with Li Guoqiang, with a hint of weirdness in his eyes.

If he didn't know that Yu Jiaxue was his daughter-in-law, at first glance, he would have thought that Yu Jiaxue was Li Guoqiang's daughter-in-law!

Moreover, based on his understanding of Jiaxue, if Yu Jiaxue were given a choice, she would definitely choose Li Guoqiang as her husband.

Fortunately, he also knew that Yu Jiaxue was not that kind of person, otherwise he would be a little worried about Yu Jiaxue contacting Li Guoqiang alone.

Little did she know that at this moment Yu Jiaxue was thinking in her heart that if she could have a child with Li Guoqiang, the child would definitely be very beautiful!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Li Guoqiang, and she couldn't help feeling a little itchy in her heart.

Then, she suddenly saw Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others walking out of the house one by one, holding very handsome children in their arms, which made her stunned for a moment.

"Well, who are they?"

"Oh! They are all employees of Xiangmi Zhai and live in this courtyard."

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang quickly replied.

After saying that, he waved to Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others, signaling them to come over.

Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others saw it and immediately walked over with the children in their arms.

When they came to her one by one, Yu Jiaxue was first shocked by their appearance and figure, and then she was attracted by the children they were holding.

"Why are these children so handsome?"

"Forehead"

Hearing this question, Li Guoqiang didn't know how to answer for a moment, then he thought about it and said with a smile: "Maybe it's because their mothers are all very beautiful!"

"is it?"

When Yu Jiaxue heard this answer, she looked at Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others with some doubt.

For some reason, she always felt that the children of Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others looked somewhat like Li Guoqiang's children.

If she hadn't known that he was no longer allowed to take a concubine, and if this was not in Li Guoqiang's home, she would probably have thought that Pan Qiaoyan, Shang Xiuzhen and others were Li Guoqiang's women.

Then, she was so excited that she quickly said to Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others, "Um, can I hold the child?"

"Okay!"

Shang Xiuzhen, Pan Qiaoyan and others immediately agreed when they heard this.

Soon, Yu Jiaxue was choosing concubines, hugging this one and that one, and liking each one of them to her heart’s content.

If Chen Wen'an hadn't felt a little uncomfortable and stood up to pull her to sit at the main table, she might have almost forgotten that she came here for a banquet today.
