Chapter 1183 Forced to Agree
Ji Zhen was suddenly stunned.
Yes, she and Han Qingyu... were indeed very good friends.
If it was in the past, when there was a party at home and Sister Qingyu happened to be in Beijing, she would take the initiative to invite Han Qingyu.
But... these were all in the past!
Ji Zhen is no longer a simple and ignorant little girl. After going through so many things, if she still trusts Han Qingyu and thinks that the other party is approaching her without purpose, it would be really stupid.
The feeling of being used is not pleasant, but she is not a girl who likes to say bad things about others behind their backs. So now that the reason is suddenly mentioned, Ji Zhen really doesn't know how to start. After hesitating for a long time, she stammered, "Tonight's banquet is for my brother and sister-in-law. Inviting her... isn't it inconvenient?"
Ji Shen smiled, "Do we have to hold a banquet for Han Qingyu before inviting her? Don't worry, Qingyu is only here as my friend and won't disturb Aye's limelight! Besides, I invited her because I can't wait to learn something. If it's not convenient at home, I won't attend the banquet tonight-"
Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Ji interrupted anxiously, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's a rare opportunity to go home, why are you rushing out? Isn't it just a friend? Just bring him! There are so many guests at the banquet, can't there be room for your friend?"
While the old lady was speaking, she signaled Ji Zhen with her eyes, asking her not to object anymore.
Anyway, for the old lady, banquets and such don't matter, the return of her second son is the serious matter.
Ji Zhen understood that grandma and second uncle had not seen each other for several years. Even if second uncle did nothing, as long as he stayed at home quietly, grandma would be very happy. In front of the two elders, there were some things she couldn't say, so she could only nod silently.
When old lady Ji happily pulled Ji Shen to ask about his well-being, Ji Zhen hid in the kitchen under the pretext of drinking water and called his second brother.
I thought Ji Ze would be as anxious as I was, but after listening to the phone call, the other party laughed out loud: "Zhenzhen, you called me just to say this?"
Ji Zhen was anxious: "Second brother, what should I do? Grandma has made the decision, and it's useless for me to object. If Sister Qingyu comes tonight, Big Brother will definitely be unhappy."
"Hahahahaha." Ji Ze laughed happily on the other end of the phone, "Zhenzhen, when did you become so timid?"
"I——"
"Look, Han Bailian was not invited by you. She couldn't get through your way, so she went around to Second Uncle. What does this have to do with you? Even if Big Brother wants to be angry, he won't be angry with you, let alone Second Uncle."
Ji Zhen was confused: "Why?"
Ji Ze kept it a secret: "I guess Han Qingyu definitely doesn't know the purpose of the Ji family's banquet tonight, otherwise she wouldn't have time to hide, how could she go to the trouble of getting in."
"Ah?" Ji Zhen didn't understand even more.
Realizing that his sister hadn't gotten the melon at all, Ji Ze said in a sinister tone: "Why did my second uncle invite Han Qingyu? Because he couldn't wait to know about EVA. And Han Qingyu was so reckless as to use EVA to lure my second uncle? If she knew that EVA would appear tonight, would she still dare to ask for it?"
"EVA will come?" Ji Zhen suddenly became excited. "Really? Then won't I finally get to see the genius that my second uncle praises so much?!"
After saying that, she paused: "Good second brother, tell me quickly, who is EVA, is she pretty? How powerful is she?"
"She is so pretty! She is simply a fairy."
Ji Zhen froze: "But...if EVA comes, won't she steal the limelight from my sister-in-law?"
