Chapter 223 [5000 words]
Old Shan frowned: "You girl is so stubborn? Even if I plan to take you back to the Ji family and let the Ji family see clearly that you, Ji Xinyao, are my granddaughter of Shan Heping, don't you plan to go?"
Ji Xinyao raised his eyebrows: "Old Shan means that now I want to turn back and clear your name for your own daughter and granddaughter whom you have no chance to meet? Don't you think it's too late? No matter what He Manni is, she is also his legal wife who has been married for more than 20 years. In your military and political circles, everyone in and outside the circle, what can you do if you take me there?"
"I naturally have my purpose, and of course I won't treat you, my child badly." Old Shan said seriously.
Ji Xinyao smiled: "No need."
She turned her head: "Nancy, let's get off in front of the city, find a hotel in the future. I want to change into a dry dress. Let's not bother Mr. Dan to send it too far, okay?"
Gu Nanxi looked at her with a doting look and rubbed her head gently: "It's fine, I'm afraid you will catch a cold."
"It's okay, just go to the hotel to take a hot shower and change your clothes."
Xin Yao said with a smile, the two of them had a close conversation and completely excluded Mr. Dan from his own world.
Seeing this, Mr. Shan was angry, but he didn't say anything. He just looked at her for a while before he swallowed and asked the driver to find a suitable hotel before parking.
When they arrived in front of a hotel in the west of the city, the military green jeep stopped. After the two got out, Mr. Dan also got out.
After saying a few words to Mr. Dan on the surface, Gu Nanxi directly helped Mr. Dan into the hotel. The two did not care about Mr. Dan's actions that followed him in, so they just asked the staff to open a room, and then they entered the room.
Xin Yao is actually not very cold, but the spring in City Y is indeed much colder than in City G. In addition, there is some rain on her body, so Gu Nanxi is worried that she will catch a cold, so she directly asked her to go to the bathroom to take a hot shower.
When Xin Yao took a hot shower, she came out with warm clothes and changed her clothes, a hotel staff came over and knocked on the door.
Gu Nanxi went to open the door. The hotel room service stood outside the door. The room service nodded to them politely: "I'm sorry, I'm disturbing you. Mr. Shan has booked a private room with a bamboo character in this hotel. Please go downstairs to have a meal together."
Gu Nanxi glanced at the room service in front of her, thanked her, and closed the door.
Ji Xinyao was already dressed and walked over and said, "Old Mr. Shan is really persistent in his entangled methods. I was still thinking about what he was doing when he came to the hotel together. It turned out that he was working on this abacus."
Gu Nanxi pondered for a moment and said softly: "I have been on a business trip to Y City several times. This hotel is a relatively special hotel in Y City. Only leaders at the ministerial level or above can be booked here. The bamboo-shaped private room here is priced at over 50,000. If it weren't for banquets with two or three leaders at the ministerial level or above, this hotel would generally not easily book the bamboo-shaped private room."
When Xin Yao heard this, "Wouldn't that mean that Mr. Shan invited someone else?"
Gu Nanxi said nothing, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the parking lot outside thoughtfully.
Xin Yao thought for a while: "Or why don't we go and have a look. Mr. Shan did this obviously because he was powerful and powerful. He invited Mayor Gu and his wife to have a meal in the name of a banquet. If he didn't go, we would be the one who was in a dilemma in the end."
"If you don't want to, I can deal with it." Gu Nanxi turned around and said gently.
"It's okay, it's almost noon now. Someone treats you, why should you refuse?"
In fact, Xin Yao didn't want to have too much contact with Mr. Dan, and could vaguely guess who the other persons that Mr. Dan was invited to have, but now she didn't want to guess. No matter who it is, it's good. Since the wisdom has arrived, she can't just consider her own feelings, and willful and willful way of making Gu Nanxi suffer any criticism.
After the two of them packed up and took a special elevator to the floor where the Zhuzi Private Room was located under the guidance of the room service. Just as the door of the Zhuzi Private Room was respectfully opened by the staff, Ji Xinyao's steps stopped immediately.
I saw Mr. Shan sitting in the east, while Ji Qiuhang and He Manni were both dressed in casual clothes. It seemed that they had just arrived and were politely greeting Mr. Shan.
"We are about to go to the Public Security Bureau to see Cheng Cheng, but who knew that we received a call from Mr. Dan. Suddenly, we were having such a big table here. It seems that there are others coming?" Ji Qiuhang happened to say this.
As soon as the door of the private room opened, the three people sitting looked over here. When they saw Ji Xinyao and Gu Nanxi standing in front of the door, Ji Qiuhang's expression suddenly condensed. The smile on He Manni also faded away, covering her surprise, and looking at them with a little hesitation.
"Haha, your Ji family should be regular customers of this hotel. I know you know the rules here. Just now, I asked me if there are other people coming, our Mayor Gu and Xin Yao will arrive." Old Shan pointed to this side with a smile, signaling Gu Nanxi and Xin Yao to come and sit.
Xin Yao was stunned for a moment, but for only a moment, when Gu Nanxi smiled lightly, she also smiled. Then she walked in with her husband and sat on the other side of Mr. Dan.
"Old Mr. Shan specially invited a banquet, but it was a coincidence. I didn't expect that on the first day I came to City Y, I met Aunt Man and Uncle Man." Gu Nanxi smiled politely, and the faint look was even more unsightly between her eyebrows and eyes.
In recent years, the Ji family has been working hard to rescue Ji Chengcheng. However, Gu Nanxi has already solved the relationship between the inside and outside of the place, and it has long been like an airtight wall that makes them unable to start. For several months, Gu Nanxi has avoided them and never given them the opportunity to sit down and chat like this. Today is a real opportunity. Since Mr. Shan knows that Ji Chengcheng is imprisoned and also knows about Xu Limin, that means Mr. Shan is pretending to be stupid at this time.
He held a banquet intently, of course, it would not be a chance to give the Ji family a chance to plead with Gu Nanxi again, but instead...
Ji Xinyao glanced at Ji Qiuhang, who looked not very good-looking, and thought to himself that he didn't plan to go to Ji's house, so Mr. Shan invited them over. It seemed that Mr. Shan had determined this relative.
Lao Mei insisted on the calculation. "Oh, I forgot that you, Gu Ji, are still half a relative, yes, yes, remember when the last time they came? Chief of Staff Ji, you took your family with me to the Gu family." Old Shan suddenly smiled and pointed at Xin Yao's side: "But you two absolutely could not imagine anything."
Ji Qiuhang frowned secretly and glanced at Xin Yao with a faint expression, as if she was very dissatisfied with her daughter's current attitude, but it seemed that she was thinking about the reason why she returned to City Y today, and her expression was a little strangely silent.
He Manni was calm and said nothing. When Mr. Shan said this, she turned her eyes to Mr. Shan and smiled, "Oh? Mr. Shan said something that both of us could not even think of?"
"Shan Xiaoou." Suddenly, Mr. Shan said these three words lightly.
Immediately, Ji Qiuhang, who had just taken off his hat and placed it on the table, froze his face, and He Manni's eyes also changed slightly, and she looked at Old Dan in a daze.
"It's my daughter..." Old Shan raised his eyebrows and continued to smile when he saw Ji Qiuhang and He Manni's faces changing suddenly, "I believe that Chief of Staff Ji was in the military region in his early years and could have heard some troubles that the elders in my army did when they were young. The child my wife was pregnant with when she left was Shan Xiaoou. I have been looking for Xiaoou for so many years and have never been able to meet him. Finally, I found Xiaoou's daughter."
As he said that, Old Dan turned his eyes to Ji Xinyao: "Xinyao, you still don't plan to call me this grandfather?"
In front of Ji's family, Ji Xinyao didn't know how to speak. Gu Nanxi seemed to know her current mirror and smiled and said, "Old Shan, it's rumored that you were walking alone when you were young. Now, it's true that it's true that it takes so much to recognize a granddaughter." 13acv.
His words did not exclude the identity of Mr. Shan’s granddaughter for Xin Yao.
Gu Nanxi must have known that a large part of the reason why Shan Xiaoou retreated in that relationship was perhaps because Shan Xiaoou was just an unknown woman, and behind He Manni was not only the Gu family married by her sister, but also the He family with great business.
At this moment, Ji Xinyao's identity and Shan Xiaoou's identity made Ji Qiuhang and He Manni slap them in the face.
Sure enough, Ji Qiuhang's face was always stiff. He Manni frowned and hesitated for a long time before she forced a smile: "Mr. Shan is joking? Maybe this Shan Xiaoou is not Shan Xiaoou, and Shan Xiaoou, how could your daughter be so reluctant to be a child for others?"
Mr. Dan immediately glanced at He Manni coldly and said, "Be a little boy?"
Seeing that Mr. Dan's expression had obviously found out about what happened back then, He Manni stopped talking back, closed her mouth, quietly pulled Ji Qiuhang's sleeve under the table, and signaled him to say something.
Ji Qiuhang glanced at Mr. Shan, then looked at Ji Xinyao: "How did Mr. Shan determine that Xinyao is your granddaughter? However, if there is really this relationship, then it seems that I will change my words to Mr. Shan in the future!"
"Hey? Why change it? I have checked Xin Yao's DNA, and I have also got Xiaoou's photos. She looks very similar to Xiaoou when she was young. Can't you, a father, really see?" As he said that, Mr. Shan sneered again: "As for changing his words, I think it's better to forget it. After all, my daughter unfortunately made you a 'little' for Ji Qiuhang! If you change your words, I'm afraid Mrs. Gui will not do it!"
The word "small" was bitten a little bit hard by Old Dan. Ji Qiuhang immediately looked tighter and looked back at He Manni who was stern and silent.
At the moment, I obviously offended Mr. Shan. I originally planned to ask him to help deal with Cheng Cheng's affairs, but now it is difficult for them to protect themselves.
Although He Manni didn't speak, her eyes looked at Ji Xinyao from time to time. She seemed to have never thought that Shan Xiaoou would be Shan Heping's daughter back then.
Ji Xinyao suddenly raised her eyes: "What is Aunt Manni's expression? Are you secretly hating that you didn't kill me and let Mr. Dan find me, the so-called granddaughter, which made you, the real "little", unable to raise your head at this time, or are you blaming my mother for not carrying me down when he jumped off the building?"
At the same time, the cup of water in Mr. Shan’s hand that was drinking was heavily placed on the table. Mr. Shan looked at He Manni indifferently: "It seems that Mrs. Ji has not been very good to her for the years she has lived in Xin Yao at Ji’s house..."
He Manni was going to take the cup and wanted to drink some water to suppress her shocked hand. The cup in her hand almost turned over. She hurriedly held the cup and looked at Mr. Dan in surprise, then changed her smile: "What is Mr. Dan saying? Xin Yao is just a child who was ignorant and too naughty when he was a child. As an elder, I sometimes hit her a few times when she was too naughty, but now parents can beat her own children. In fact, it is just a lesson. I have never really tried to make a ruthless move. Maybe Xin Yao just holds a grudge against these things. After all, I am not her biological mother, and she may be repulsive of me in her heart. So, hey, you also know that stepmothers are not that easy to be like now, and children are all alone in their minds..."
"Is that so? Why was Ji Chengcheng locked up? How did Xu Limin, an unknown little person, provoke the Gu family? It was the point where the death penalty was imposed?"
Old Dan seemed to be really asking a question, not forcing him. His eyes were still a little smile, but he was a little cold.
"This..." He Manni was not sure how much Mr. Dan knew, and suddenly didn't know how to explain, and her eyes became dark.
Ji Qiuhang spoke at this time: "Manni is just a woman after all. If Mr. Shan wants to blame him now, it will be all over me. For Xiaoou, I..."
"Ah!" Suddenly, the cup that was originally supported in He Manni's hand suddenly turned over, and the hot water in the cup was sprinkled on the back of He Manni's hand, successfully interrupting what Ji Qiuhang wanted to say.
Ji Qiuhang looked back at her, with a little dissatisfaction in his eyes. However, He Manni secretly glared at him when Mr. Dan couldn't see her face blocked by Ji Qiuhang, with a little fierce look. Ji Qiuhang immediately frowned and took the napkin and handed it to her.
Although Mr. Dan couldn't see this scene, Ji Xinyao and Gu Nanxi saw it. Gu Nanxi bent his lips slightly: "Uncle, maybe from my mother's perspective, I shouldn't say some things, the love-hate entanglement between you older generations, with Xinyao's temperament, she actually doesn't care about it, but since I have seen it here today, I think I should also express my attitude."
As soon as he heard Gu Nanxi finally spoke, He Manni immediately endured the severe pain in her hand and looked at him anxiously. It seemed that no matter what kind of camera they were facing now, what they were most worried about was the experience that Ji Chengcheng, the daughter, had to face.
Ji Qiuhang couldn't help but look at Gu Nanxi.
Look, how deep is the relationship between the three of this family. They are also daughters, Ji Qiuhang can just hold Ji Chengcheng and coax Ji Chengcheng like when he was a child, but ignore her like Ji Xinyao, who is like a little maid.
This is still the case now.
Since that's the case, what else can she say to the Ji family?
"First of all, Cheng Cheng's mastermind's actions when Xin Yao was seventeen years old. Because Xin Yao was isolated and helpless, Qin Muyan was sent to the United States by his parents who did not want to cause trouble. Xiuli was forcibly suppressed by you, so he hid that matter for many years. Maybe you didn't know about this matter, but you know now, and your attitude is the same as Aunt Man. Although we have this kind of kinship relationship, Xin Yao is now my wife. I have the right and obligation to sue the Ji family for the incident that happened several months ago, but I don't."
Gu Nanxi looked faint and looked at He Manni, who looked a little gray on the station: "Cheng Cheng is currently receiving education in the public security department. What kind of execution will be followed by the legal procedures. Whether it is light or serious depends on whether the sins she has committed are profound or serious. Cheng Cheng could be sentenced lightly for reasons that he had not yet achieved. Then a few months ago, she carried the three million you had transferred to Xu Limin's account, and the letters and contents she had privately communicated can be confirmed. Moreover, Xin Yao was pregnant at that time, and his crime was even more serious. I think the two should be very knowledgeable about the law and pleaded with mercy on all sides. Have you considered it carefully?"
Speaking of this, Gu Nanxi picked up some vegetables for Xin Yao and put them in her bowl, smiled gently at her, and signaled her to eat without listening to him.
Xin Yao looked at him quietly, then looked at Old Dan who was silently listening to Gu Nanxi's speech. He didn't speak, but just took the chopsticks and silently lowered his head to eat.
