The next day, Guan suddenly announced that he wanted to hold a birthday party for himself in advance.
Guan is 76 years old this year. Although he is not a whole birthday party, it is a happy thing to hold a birthday party every year at this age.
Besides, he is now seriously ill. If he can hold a birthday party at this time, he can also achieve the effect of rejoicing. Naturally, no one in the Guan family will have any opinions.
When Jingning received the news, it was the next afternoon.
Looking at the invitation in front of her, she was actually a little surprised.
After all, Guan doesn't look like a person who believes in Chong Xi.
What's more, he initiated it himself, but people who have been sick know that when they are not feeling well, they just want to stay quiet. Few people really like to be lively.
However, the invitation cards have been sent out. No matter what the reason is, we will keep the appointment.
The time of the birthday banquet is set on the evening of the weekend, and the place is the old house of Guan family.
In fact, there are not many people invited to the birthday party. They are only from the four families, plus some other famous families in Kyoto.
On that day, Jingning arrived very early. Because it was the weekend, An'an didn't have to go to school, so she took An'an with her.
Lu Jingshen has something to do. He will arrive later.
On the contrary, Mr. Lu and Mrs. Cen followed her.
After all, he has been a friend for decades. Although Mr. Lu seldom goes out because of his poor health, he usually sends Lu Jingshen to come over if he has anything to do.
But today is a birthday party, so I attended it in person.
Guan's old house is very lively, and countless people come and go to give gifts and congratulations.
Jingning first took An'an to celebrate Guan's birthday, and then went into the dining room behind him to wait for Mr. Lu and his wife.
However, instead of waiting for the old man and the old lady, Guan yuewan and Ji Yunshu came first.
Guan yuewan and Ji Yunshu had already obtained the consent of the two men and held the engagement ceremony after the previous events.
Now it's only at the end of the year, and it's expected that the wedding will be officially held.
Jingning was very happy for them, so she took them to chat for a while.
Ji Yunshu said with a smile: "when I came in, I saw the second brother and uncle Lu. There were many people outside. They were entangled. It would take me a while to come in."
Jingning nodded. She knew that, in accordance with Lu Jingshen's and father Lu's identities, she suddenly attended such an occasion, and naturally many people came up to make friends.
Although the Lu family would not have been associated with these people, they still had to give face on the scene in business.
Therefore, I am afraid that the most busy tonight is not only Guan Laozi, but also several other owners of the four families.
Jingning looked at Guan yuewan and said with a smile, "when are you going to get married?"
"At the end of the year, the research institute is too busy now, and we can't find time yet. We have already agreed that we will hold a wedding ceremony at the end of the year as soon as the research project in hand is finished," Guan yuewan said in a soft voice
Jingning said with a smile, "then I'll congratulate you in advance."
Guan yuewan showed a shy and sweet smile.
Ji Yunshu looked at the direction of the entrance, suddenly moved forward, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the old man held the birthday party in advance, not only to celebrate his birthday, but also wanted to rectify Jing Xiaoya's name."
Jingning was stunned.
"Correct your name? What do you mean
Ji Yun Shujie explained: "after Guan Jiwan's child was lost, there was a great stir in Kyoto. In order to find the child, Guan Jiwan tried many ways to find the child, but in the end, it didn't work out. After a long time, it didn't work out.
But even so, there are still many people who know about this child. Jing Xiaoya's return this time is ostensibly a miss of Guan's family. In fact, there are few people who know about it outside, so she has no status at home.
Guan probably feels that his time is running out. Therefore, he wants to take this opportunity to announce her identity to the public. In this way, everyone in Kyoto will know that she is Guan Jiwan's daughter. If the Guan family bullies or treats her unfairly in the future, he will be stabbed in the spine.
Therefore, even if it is not for her sake and for the sake of her own reputation, she will be better off in face
Jingning smell speech, slightly some Lengzheng.
She thought about it carefully and found that it was really what Ji Yunshu said. If he hadn't put forward it, she was afraid that she would not have thought of this layer.
At the thought of this, she could not help frowning, and a touch of worry flashed through her eyes.
If Guan knew that Jing Xiaoya was not his granddaughter, he was just a fake. What would he think?
Beside, Guan yuewan's eyes also flashed a struggle.
She looked at Jingning, a little complicated.
"Ning Ning, you You know that Jing Xiaoya is not the real granddaughter of Guan family, is she? "Jingning a Leng, back to God, quickly look around, make sure that no one can hear her speak, this just nodded.
"I know more about Jing Xiaoya's family background than anyone else. However, it involves the internal affairs of Guan's family. After all, we are outsiders, so it's not easy to be talkative. Moreover, even if we tell the truth, it's not clear whether Yu is good or bad, so it's better not to say anything."
Guan yuewan nodded.
She dropped her eyes slightly, and her eyes fell on Jingning's neck.
But see her neck wearing a delicate diamond clavicle chain, did not wear the previous necklace.
Guan yuewan's face suddenly changed.
"Ning Ning, where's your necklace?"
Jingning a Zheng, looked down at his neck, and some puzzled to see her.
"Necklace? What necklace? This one? Don't you always wear it well? "
She said, lifting the chain around her neck.
Guan yuewan was in a hurry.
"Not this one. I mean the pristine ruby necklace you wore before."
Jingning responded, "Oh, that one, I put it at home. Today I don't..."
She had a sudden meal.
She looks at Guan yuewan in shock.
Guan yuewan seems to be aware of something. Her face changes and her eyes flash a touch of guilty color.
Jingning's face suddenly sank.
Ji Yunshu did not notice the jewelry on Jingning before, so they did not understand what they were saying.
Feeling that the atmosphere was a little subtle, they looked at each other and asked curiously, "what are you talking about? What's the matter? "
Guan yuewan forced a smile, "no, nothing."
Jingning is looking at her seriously, and there is no smile on her face. Her cold eyes are full of doubts and coldness.
"Yuewan, how do you know that the necklace I wore on my neck before was a ruby pendant?"
