93: Visiting relatives

"Why are these people so talkative?"

After feeling fortunate, she looked at the person calling her on the phone. "Qi Qi, have you arrived in Kyoto?"

"Mhm, I'm here. Wife, I miss you."

"Good boy, I'll go with you next time."

"Okay."

"Lili, it really is you!"

A woman saw Jiang Li talking on the phone and stepped forward to greet her.

"Who are you?" Jiang Li looked at the person in front of her. She didn't recognize her and had no memory of her.

"It's me! Did you forget? Your high school classmate, Yan Li."

Jiang Li ran through her memories. "Uh, I don't think I can recall."

Yan Li was a minor Internet Celebrity with over a hundred thousand followers. She had visited Shanghai last time and knew that the boss of Shengshi Entertainment was Jiang Li. She never expected to run into her here.

"How could you not remember? When you first entered high school, you were in Class 8 of the regular track for a few months before moving to the advanced track."

"I remember now! You were the Sanitation Monitor of that class!"

"Yes, that's me. I didn't expect to run into you here."

Jiang Li remembered that their acquaintance wasn't that deep, so why was she acting so familiar?

At this moment, a voice came from Jiang Li's phone, "Lili, you should deal with your current matter first."

"Okay, Qi Qi, I'm hanging up now."

After hanging up, Jiang Li looked at Yan Li. "Sorry about that, the call."

"It's fine, Lili. After all these years, you've really become more and more beautiful."

At this moment, Yan Li also noticed the ring on Jiang Li's hand—such a large diamond ring—and that watch. They must not be cheap!

Her eyes were full of envy.

Jiang Li looked at the person in front of her. "Um, I..."

Just as she was about to say she had things to do and needed to leave, Yan Li pulled out her phone. "We don't have each other on WeChat yet, let's add each other! In a couple of days, I plan to organize a high school reunion. I'll invite you then!"

Jiang Li didn't want to attend. She truly had no connection with the people from that class.

"Um, I have something planned in a couple of days and will be leaving, so I probably can't make it."

Yan Li heard this. "I know, then I won't invite you. You're a busy person. Oh, right, this We..."

"Lili, we're leaving, hurry up."

Hearing Mother Jiang call her, Jiang Li told Yan Li, "Yan Li, I have to go now. Goodbye," and left.

Yan Li watched Jiang Li's retreating figure and complained to her Xiao Jiemei.

'This person, once she got rich, she started looking down on small fries like us.'

'She won't even give me her contact info. What's she pretending?'

'I don't believe you'll be this lucky forever, making money no matter what you do.'

It's now rumored online that the Chairman of Jiang Group makes money from every investment.

Therefore, many people want to cooperate with Jiang Group.

But they always work alone and don't seek outside cooperation. Even when they do cooperate, it's only with Fu Group, never anyone else. This has led to the economy of Shanghai being controlled by the two giants, Jiang Group and Fu Group... In Kyoto, there is Wen Juzhu.

The Fu Family and the Ji Family were having a meal here.

Old Master Ji looked at Fu Xiangqi and was very satisfied. He was only one year older than his granddaughter, and both his looks and intelligence were top-notch.

More importantly, his granddaughter liked him.

To satisfy his granddaughter, Old Master Ji brazenly asked, "Xiangqi, do you have a girlfriend after graduating from university?"

Fu Xiangqi heard him and immediately replied, "Grandpa Ji, I'm already engaged. I'll send you an invitation when I get married."

Ji Niannian and Old Master Ji heard this. "Is that so? Good, good. Grandpa Ji will definitely attend then."

Upon hearing this, Ji Niannian immediately became unhappy. After all these years, she had finally met someone she liked, but why was he already taken?

Who on earth managed to pluck this flower from the high mountain ridge?

Ji Niannian asked, "Brother Xiangqi, where is your girlfriend?"

Fu Xiangqi heard her and said, "She's not a girlfriend, she's my fiancée."

"I'm sorry. Then, Brother Xiangqi, why didn't your fiancée come along?"

"She was busy."

Fu Xiangqi was extremely sparing with his words to anyone who wasn't Jiang Li.

Ji Niannian felt so awkward, as if she was rushing things, making herself seem cheap.

She was, after all, raised with the love of her parents and grandfather. This time was truly...

She simply ignored Fu Xiangqi.

Fu Xiangqi was delighted to see that she was finally ignoring him.

Father Fu and Mother Fu saw the situation and smoothed things over, starting to talk about other topics.

Finally, dinner was over.

Fu Xiangqi and the others went to the hotel they had booked.

Because the center of their development was in the South, they hadn't yet been involved in the North.

But they had been involved overseas.

After all, the aristocratic families and wealthy magnates in Shanghai and Kyoto often disliked each other.

For example, they were often compared, which led to discord among many families.

The Ji Family and the Fu Family were also family friends spanning several generations.

Their relationship had always been very good.

Grandpa Fu and Grandma Fu rested early upon arriving at the hotel due to their age.

Father Fu and Mother Fu did too.

After washing up, Fu Xiangqi looked at his phone messages, wondering why she hadn't replied yet.

On Jiang Li's side, because many people had gotten drunk, they finally called Designated Drivers to take everyone home.

After Jiang Li got home, she saw Qi Qi's message, replied quickly, and then went to shower.

When she came out, it was already past nine o'clock, and Qi Qi was still waiting for her.

So she called him via video.

"Wife, I miss you so much!"

"It's only been one day since we parted."

"Well, I still miss you."

"Alright, I miss you too."

"Hehe, Wife, let me tell you about today..."

Fu Xiangqi and Jiang Li told each other everything that had happened that day.

Turns out, both of them had been introduced to potential partners.

"Wife, you already have me, so you can't look for anyone else."

"I won't. My Qi Qi is so handsome and good-looking; no one can compare to you."

"Mhm, I will only ever have Lili."

"How old are you, still always acting spoiled?"

"No matter how old I am, I'll still act spoiled around my wife."

"Oh, you. What about when we have children?"

"I won't bother with them. We'll leave them with Mom and Dad?"

Fu Xiangqi really didn't want to look after children; they would only steal his wife's attention.

Hearing Fu Xiangqi's words, Jiang Li felt a slight pang of sadness for their future child.

"Wife, can we only have one child?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Wife, I watched videos of women giving birth before. It's very dangerous and painful, so I don't want my wife to go through the hardship of a ten-month pregnancy."

"Good boy, let me think... How about we have one child?"

"If that's the case, okay. After the first child, I'll get a vasectomy."

"Alright, I understand."

The two chatted for a long time without realizing it. "It's time to sleep. We still have relatives to visit tomorrow."

"Wife, I'm free tomorrow, and I'll be back the day after."

"Mhm, you go back first and wait for me. The preparations for the reception haven't even started yet!"

"Mhm, I know. I'll take care of it when I get back."

"Okay."

"Wife, I'll watch you sleep. I'll sleep once you're asleep."

"Okay."

Jiang Li propped her phone up on the bedside table so Fu Xiangqi could see her, then put on her eye mask and began to fall asleep.

Fu Xiangqi watched Jiang Li sleeping on his phone screen and slowly drifted off to sleep as well.
