sky-high engagement

Chapter 683 I need to think about it

Su Mo's identity is no longer a secret in Ji's family.

This was the first time she went back to Ji's house. The person Ji Qingsheng went to pick up in person, went to see Master Qi as soon as he came back, and made it clear that he wanted to recognize and return to his ancestors.

She is the legitimate daughter of the Ji family, and Ji Qingsheng and Qi Ye are supporting her, no one dares not to give her face.

Those who had just attended the funeral and stayed at their home were extremely grateful for their decision.

Others immediately booked flights and rushed back from all over the world after being notified.

In the noon life, a banquet was held in the main room to welcome Su Mo and his wife.

Because too many people came, we set up a shed in the yard outside and set up a few big round tables.

There are some juniors sitting outside, whether they are from the same family or the clan, all the elders are seated in the living room.

There are three tables in the living room, Su Mo and Xiao Nanye are at the same table with Ji's brothers and Seventh Master.

At the same table, there are several elders of the same family, both men and women, all of whom are a bit older, and Su Mo doesn't know any of them, anyway, she can call her whatever Ji Qingsheng asks her to do.

At the beginning of the banquet, Ji Qingsheng's first glass of wine was to Master Qi, then the other elders, and after a round, it was Xiao Nanye and Su Mo's turn.

Su Mo found that Ji Qingsheng seemed to respect Qi Ye very much.

As the head of Ji's family, he let Master Qi sit on the main seat, and even let him live in the main house of the mansion.

Moreover, the clan members of Ji's family seem to be more polite to Master Qi than they are to Ji Qingsheng, the head of the family, maybe it's not just because he is an elder!
Although Su Mo is usually a little slow to react, he is more sensitive than ordinary people in some matters.

She remembered that Ji Qingsheng had been refusing to talk about the relationship between the two before, but this time he wanted to bring her back uncharacteristically.

Reminiscent of what Qiye said yesterday, an immature idea slowly took shape in Su Mo's mind.

In fact, Ji Qingsheng did this for other reasons besides respecting Qi Ye as an elder.

Qiye's mother is the daughter of the Su family, and he is considered half of the Su family, so his heart is naturally toward the Su family.

When Su Mo's great-grandfather was dying, he told Ji Qingsheng's father to hand over the Ji family to his legitimate son.

After Ji Qingsheng's father took charge of the family, those who thought they had a lot of property to divide were all fooled.

Who would have thought that he would hand over such a large family business to a young boy who was born by a maid.

In the early years, Su Mo's great-grandfather was just a guard of the palace, but since he married Ge Ge, his journey has been smooth and smooth.

Before he died, there were already groups of wives and concubines, and a house full of children and grandchildren. Although he had done a lot of unscrupulous things, he could be regarded as honoring his ancestors no matter what.

As a result, not long after his death, his children and grandchildren began to be restless, and one or two were clamoring to separate the family.

One match is easy to break, but ten matches are huddled together.

It was not easy for the Ji family to rise in that turbulent era. If the family were really separated, there would be no capital to be feared.

Ji Qingsheng's father promised his grandfather to keep the family business, so naturally he would not agree to their unreasonable demands.

But his parents are humble, and his seniority in the family is low, facing the persecution of the elders again and again, he is helpless.

At that time, Ji Qingsheng's father was isolated and helpless, so he could only use strong methods to suppress the civil strife.

However, this can only temporarily stabilize them, not a long-term solution. Fortunately, Qi Ye was there to help him, so he did not disappoint his grandfather's expectations.

The reason why Qi Ye came forward to help was because he had the same goal as Ji Qingsheng's father, which was to find the Ji family's legitimate son and let him take over the family business.

Although Ji Qingsheng's father could have controlled the situation without the help of Master Qi, but if the Ji family fell into civil strife, it would definitely hurt the root.

Since ancient times, there are many people who add icing on the cake, but few people give charcoal in the snow.

When Qi Ye was young, his legs were injured, and he has no children since then. After his wife died, he was alone.

Ji Qingsheng's father was grateful for his kindness, and when he handed over Ji's family to his son, he specifically told him to take good care of Qiye until his death.

This is also the main reason why Ji Qingsheng respects Master Qi.

Of course, what Ji Qingsheng didn't know was that with the growth of grades, Qi Ye's mentality at the moment is quite different from before.

It was also because of his persistence that Su Mo was allowed to return to Ji's house this time.

Sensing the gaze on the top of his head, Su Mo looked up, just in time to see Qi Ye's eyes with deep meaning.

Your great-grandmother was originally the owner of the palace, but she was unable to return home.

The Ji family can have today because they climbed up on the shoulders of the palace. After hearing what I said so much, you really don't mind at all?
He seemed to hear Seventh Master's gloomy voice again, his eyes were too frightening, Su Mo didn't dare to look more, and hurriedly looked away.

Fortunately, the dining table of Ji's family is relatively quiet, especially the main table, where they will not eat or sleep until the end, and even if there is something to do, they will only communicate in a low voice.

Qi Ye is getting old, and his eyesight is not very good,

After drinking a few glasses of wine, I became sleepy and fell asleep while sitting in a chair.

Ji Qingsheng beckoned two people over and helped the old man back to his room to rest.

Once Qi Ye left, the atmosphere on the table became much more relaxed, and the eyes of others began to turn to Su Mo and Xiao Nanye boldly, lowering their heads and whispering their thoughts.

Compared with Su Mo's uncomfortable body, Xiao Nanye is much calmer, eating her own food is not affected at all, and occasionally picks up vegetables for her wife, saving her from eating white rice all the time.

After dinner, Ji Rongzheng sent his clan to rest, and had tea with Ji Qingsheng and the remaining elders. Su Mo and Xiao Nanye also stayed behind.

These people were of the same generation as Su Mo's grandfather. When they asked about his grandfather's situation, Su Mo answered them one by one.

These people are old and sophisticated, and the topics are all about Su Mo's grandfather, which makes it easy for people to let their guard down.

As we talked, we talked about Su Mo.

"Since everyone has come this time, let's take care of Su Mo's ancestral residence together, so as to save money and make another trip later." An old lady of the family said.

The others nodded in agreement.

The old lady said again: "When Seventh Brother wakes up, you can ask him what he means and see what time is more suitable."

This was said to Ji Qingsheng, he turned his head to look at Su Mo, and saw a pair of knotted brows as expected.

"Let's take it easy!"

Ji Qingsheng looked away, and said lightly: "We will discuss it after all the others arrive tomorrow."

After drinking a good cup of Dragon Well Tea before Yuqian, Su Mo felt dizzy and sluggish, and felt relieved when he sent all the elders away.

Ji Ce and Ji Ying pushed the door open, Ji Qingsheng glanced at them, then turned to look at Su Mo and said, "Shall we chat?"

Su Mo guessed what he was going to say, and made a statement before he spoke.

"My name was chosen by my grandfather, and I don't plan to change my name or surname."

Ji Qingsheng had already guessed that she would say that, so he was not surprised, but Ji Ying who just came in didn't understand.

"Why!" Ji Ying wanted to run over to ask Su Mo, but the person behind him brought her back by the collar.

"Don't worry about adults' affairs, children."

Ji Ce threw his little five back, walked over and sat down swaggeringly, "I think it's good if you don't change it."

He said that, of course, with selfish intentions.

If Su Mo doesn't go back to Ji's house, at least he can think about it a little bit. If he has the same surname as Ji, it would be so boring!

The more Ji Ce thought about it, the more he felt that it was better not to let Su Mo come back, "Since Su Mo doesn't want to, Boss, don't force others to make things difficult for you."

"Fourth, shut up!"

Ji Rongzheng let out a low drink, and Ji Ce's face turned blue all of a sudden.

Damn Ji Er, he didn't save face in front of Su Mo, what could he do if the boss didn't say anything?

"Am I wrong?"

Ji Ce looked at Ji Rongzheng and sneered, "How high do you think the walls of your Ji's house are? They are not rare at all!"

Before he could finish speaking, Ji Ying grabbed his arm and reminded him, "Fourth Brother, your surname is Ji too."

"Shut up!" Ji Ce hit his head with a dark face, "No one will treat you as dumb if you don't speak!"

Ji Ying's scalp tingled from being knocked, and she turned her head to seek comfort, but Ji Rongzheng generously gave him two words.

"Deserved!"

"Second brother, why are you doing this!" Ji Ying looked at Ji Rongzheng dissatisfied, "Big brother said that brothers should love each other."

Ji Ce couldn't stand the so-called "love each other" the most, and he was about to kick Ji Ying's ass. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and ran to Su Mo in two or three steps, looking at her eagerly.

"Sister, fourth brother bullies people!"

Ji Ce: "..."

Su Mo: "..."

Unable to ignore Ji Ying's eyes seeking protection, Su Mo looked at Ji Ce with some disdain, cleared his throat and said, "Stop bullying him."

This sentence undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, and Ji Ce was about to explode, "Ji Xiaowu, are you looking for death?"

Ji Ce strode over, trying to take the person who is not afraid of death back and train him properly, but he was missed and let him hide behind Su Mo.

"Ji Ying!"

Ji Ce looked at him expressionlessly, "Come here!"

"I don't!" Ji Ying hid behind and shook her head.

Ji Ce was very angry with him, and he couldn't be rough in front of Su Mo, so he could only point his finger at him in warning, "You wait for me!"

Seeing that Ji Ce was gone, Ji Ying felt relieved, and ran over from behind Su Mo, "Sister, just listen to your elder brother! He won't harm you."

Looking at Ji Ying's handsome face, Su Mo immediately thought of Su Che. I haven't seen him for so long, and I don't know how he is doing?
Ji Ying's mouth is so sweet, one mouthful of 'sister', Su Mo couldn't keep a straight face, and said with some embarrassment: "At least let me think about it."

Although I don't understand why Su Mo wants to think about it, Ji Ying is easy to dismiss, nodded and said: "Then don't think about it for too long!"

"Okay." Su Mo nodded with a dry smile.

Satisfied, Ji Ying moved a few steps to the side, spread her hands towards Xiao Nanye and said, "Brother-in-law, a gift!"

Xiao Nanye: "..."

Although he was ashamed of his brother's begging behavior, Ji Ce was very happy to see Xiao Nanye deflated.

He also deliberately added fuel to the fire, "Xiao Wu, don't embarrass others, tell fourth brother what you want, and fourth brother will buy it for you."

Ji Rongzheng looked at his two younger brothers, his temples throbbed, it was so embarrassing.
