Chapter 1120: Farewell Gifts

nd had firmly imprinted his image in their minds. 。The two were originally being pushed in wheelchairs, looking dejected and disheartened. However, when they accidentally caught sight of Xiao Zheng,...As Xiao Jingyu was lost in contemplation, Xiao Zheng placed his hand on Xiao Jingyu's shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze. 。Xia Jingyu knew, Xiao Zheng could feel it now, what she was thinking! Perhaps this is what they call telepathy!

Xia Jingyu felt incredibly lucky, to have met Xiao Zheng in this lifetime. It wasn't just because he had once saved her, but also because he understood her! In life, finding someone who understands you and becomes your lifelong partner is the best destination, the greatest luxury!

As they walked towards the hall, Xiao Zheng had one arm around Xia Jingyu, and the other held two gifts: a box of goji berries from Xianghe County and a box of potatoes from Xihe Head, both local specialties of Ninggan. 。After shaking hands with Xiao Xingshi and Xiao Yi, Xiao Rongrong, etc., Lu Zaihang and Cai Jingbo also came up to shake hands with Ye Chuanying and Xiao Yi, etc. 。Ye Chuanying saw Lu Zaixing and her eyes lit up: "Oh, Secretary Lu and Mrs. Lu are here I've kept you waiting!" Lu Zaixing smiled and said, "We just arrived too. It's nice to have some tea and chat." 。"Cai Jingbo also said: 'Today is a holiday, it's just right to have a rest.'" 。"Ye Chuan'ying held Cai Jingbo's hand and said, 'Madam Lu, during this time, I accompanied Jingyu in Jingzhou. She often chatted with me about you and Secretary Lu. Without you and Secretary Lu, there would be no Jingyu today, nor the happy life of Jingyu, Xiao Zheng, and their family!'Madam Lu's heart was filled with joy. Xiao Jingyu and Xiao Zheng were both grateful people. She didn't expect them to be overly grateful for what she had done, but the fact that they remembered her kindness and thought of her warmed her heart. Wasn't this also a manifestation of self-worth Madam Lu said, 'Old Mrs. Ye, you are too kind.'" 。Both of us love Jingyu and Xiaozheng, now we have another little baby. 。I want to give someone a hug. 。"Ye Chuan Ying smiled and said, "Good, good! You look..." 。Cai Jingbo walked over to Xiao Jingyu, looked at the little guy Xiao Yuan, and said, "I haven't seen you in a few days, you've grown so much, round and chubby, so cute." 。"Can I hold him" Xiao Jingyu said, "Of course you can, but this little guy has already taken a liking to me and might cry!" Cai Jingbo said, "It's alright, I'll hold him first. I'll give him back to you if he cries!" Cai Jingbo likes children, but he doesn't have any of his own, nor grandchildren. When he sees a child, he can't help but want to hold him. 。Xiao Jingyu handed the little guy to Cai Jingbo. Cai Jingbo had never held a child before, so when he held the baby, his hands were naturally stiff and careful, worried that he might drop the child. 。Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu watched from the side, also worried that Xiao Yuan, this little guy, would refuse to cooperate and burst into tears. 。Sure enough, as soon as Cai Jingbo took Xiao Yuan for a while, the little guy's mouth drooped, and a drawn-out "ah..." sound came from his throat. 。Xiao Zheng, Xiao Jingyu, and Cai Jingbo all looked at the child. Everyone thought the little one was about to burst into tears. 。To their surprise, the little guy's cry of "ah..." suddenly changed mid-way, transforming into a giggle of "hehe" and he actually smiled at Cai Jingbo! "He smiled! He smiled!" Cai Jingbo was overjoyed, ecstatic with surprise. 。The charm of a child's laughter is undeniable. It's innocent and pure, as if divinely inspired. 。Cai Jingbo is the wife of the provincial Party secretary. In this province, there are countless people who smile and welcome her. But Cai Jingbo finds no joy in these smiles; instead, she feels weary and even disgusted because she knows these smiles are due to her husband's power. 。

Can Xiao Yuan, this little guy, understand anything He doesn't understand anything, he can't do anything, and he doesn't know anyone. But seeing her, he actually smiled, and laughed so happily! Lu Zai Xing heard Cai Jing Bo's surprised voice and came over. He leaned down to look at the little guy, and the little guy smiled again! Lu Zai Xing was also very happy and gently poked his cheek with his fingertip: "Little guy!" The little thing smiled again 。Lu Zai and Cai Jingbo both thought to themselves, could this little kid really be destined to be with us

However, as the host, Xiao Xing shi didn't think a child was important at all, nor did he think a child deserved so much attention. 。Today, as the head of the family, his top priority is to welcome his mother, Ye Chuan Ying, home and to ensure that everyone attending the dinner tonight is well looked after. He must make all the arrangements perfect so that he doesn't bring shame upon the Xiao family. 。Xiao Xingshi loudly said: "Please everyone go inside, since everyone is here, let's start the banquet." 。Saying that, he ushered everyone inside. 。Xiao Jingyu said, "Auntie Cai, just leave the kids to me, you go have dinner." 。"As a matter of fact, Cai Jingbo isn't really interested in eating, so he said: "I'll hold you for a while longer." 。Seeing Cai Jingbo genuinely enjoying his son, Xiao Jingyu was naturally happy and let Cai Jingbo continue holding him for a while, staying by their side. 。Everyone entered the living room, Xiao Zheng put the box of goji berries and potatoes he had brought with him in the corner. 。Everyone also noticed what the Xiao family brought in when they entered. They didn't see anything in Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei's hands. Xiao Jingyu was holding the child, and only Xiao Zheng had two boxes in his hands. The other attendants also didn't have any gifts. 。。Zhao Fei and Tang Jiaqi were also very curious about what Xiao Zheng and others would bring. 。To my surprise, Xiao Zheng only brought two boxes of local specialties! Zhao Fei looked at them, feeling relieved on one hand, but also a little disappointed in Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu. These two were either too stingy or just didn't know how to behave! Then she noticed that Mrs. Lu Cai Jingbo had been holding Xiao Jingyu's child the whole time, looking very loving towards him. 。Zhaofei's heart ached again. She and Xiao Zhuanyu had been married for many years, but they still hadn't had a child! Zhaofei's parents had also urged them several times to have a baby sooner, and the couple had tried their best, but there was no result! Therefore, the two secretly went to the hospital and had experts and doctors check them. The doctor said that her eggs were problematic and she couldn't get pregnant for now! Zhaofei has already been trying to find a solution through contacts... 。But, Xiao Jingyu and Xiao Zheng seemed to have no such problems at all. They just had their child! Why is life so unfair!

So, Xiao Jingyu's son was not a joyous thing for Zhao Fei, but rather a sharp thorn, pricking her heart with agonizing pain. 。Not only did she not like it, she even found it annoying and didn't want to look at it!

Xiao Xinghai's second wife, Tang Jiaqi, also had a smile on her face, but a thought had already crossed her mind. 。She is a woman of few words, even on Lunar New Year's Eve with so many people around, she will still speak her mind!

A female attendant came to report that dinner was ready and everyone could be seated. 。Xiao Xingshi then said, "Everyone, please sit down. Let's begin the meal." 。“Come, come everyone, take your seats!” Xiao Xinghai greeted everyone as well. 。So, everyone sat down. 。

Xiao Xingshi is the head of the family. 。He naturally sat in the main seat. He called his mother, Ye Chuan-ying, wanting her to sit in the position of honor for guests, but Ye Chuan-ying said, "This is my own home, I am definitely not a guest, let Master Xiao sit" 。"With that, he seated Xiao Yi to his left and took the seat below him." 。Then, Lu Secretary was seated on Xiao Xing's right, Cai Jingbo was still holding the child and left an empty seat below Lu Secretary, which was reserved for Cai Jingbo. 。Xiao Jingyu said to Cai Jingbo, "Aunt Cai, you go sit down. Otherwise, everyone will have to wait for you and won't dare to move." 。Cai Jingbo then handed the child over to Xiao Jingyu. At this time, the nanny also arrived and took the child from Xiao Jingyu's hands, asking Xiao Jingyu to eat first. 。Right now, Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei, husband and wife, also sat down below Ye Chuan Ying. 。The rest of the members of the Xiao family sat down according to their seniority. 。Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu sat at the end, a large table was full!

The female attendant asked everyone and poured wine and drinks. 。At this moment, Xiao Xing shi raised his glass and said: "Today is a special day." 。Our Xiao family celebrated the Chinese New Year, and we also welcomed the Lu Secretary's family and the head of the Xiao family from the Xiao family, as well as my in-laws. We all gathered together, happy and prosperous for the new year! Let's raise a toast together>>> 。Everyone stood up and drank the first cup. 。Then, Xiao Xingshi, as the head of the family, toasted everyone with many cups. Subsequently, Xiao Xinhao, Xiao Xingyun and others also raised their glasses to toast. 。After everyone from Xiao's family toasted around, Lu Zhixing, who was drinking white wine, and Cai Jingbo, who was drinking soda, also toasted one by one. 。Then, Xiao Rongrong and Fei Qingmei also stood up to toast. 。Some people drink deep, some people drink shallow, and no one forces anyone. 。However, the former head of the Xiao family, Xiao Yi, never stood up to toast proactively. 。He would take a sip when someone offered him a toast, and if no one toasted him, he would just eat some food and chat with Ye Chuan'ying next to him. The two of them seemed like an old couple. 。Xiao Xinghai and his wife, Tang Jiaqi, were both drinking white wine. This many-year aged Moutai wine was just right for their taste buds. After a few glasses, Tang Jiaqi had a slight buzz. The words she had prepared to say earlier rose up from her stomach! She said to her husband: "Xinghai, let's raise a glass together to Jingyu and her husband >>> 。Xiao Xinghai immediately stood up and walked over with his wife. 。Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu also, out of courtesy, left their seats. 。Xiao Xinghai said: "Jingyu, Xiao Zheng, it's been a long time since I've seen you both. Welcome home." 。"Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingyu said together: "Thank you." 。After taking a sip, Xiao Jingyu asked, "Little uncle, about that 'chip industry park' project in Jingzhou, I advised you to pull out back then. Did you manage to withdraw in time" Hearing Xiao Jingyu bring up this matter, Xiao Xinghai's face turned pale, and Tang Jiaqi beside him also seemed to be in a bad mood. 。At the beginning, there was a big disagreement between Xiao Xinghai and Xiao Jingyu over the "Chip Industry Park" project in Jingzhou. 。Xiao Xinghai hoped Xiao Jingyu would help him, but Xiao Jingyu not only refused but also believed that this project was just for land grabbing and obtaining government subsidies. Therefore, he advised Xiao Xinghai to withdraw from the project and not participate. 。Ke Xiao Xinghai had his own ideas, and even used Sima Yue and Tan Zhen's relationship to prevent Xiao Jingyu from coordinating the "Chip Industry Park" project!qi County was known for, but rather a small, single-door entrance. Stepping inside led to a courtyard with a fragrant osmanthus tree planted within, though it hadn't yet begun to bloom. 。facing the s...
