Chapter 1085 Please come in, everyone.
Xiang Xiaowu parked his luxury van in the airport parking space, and Mu Xiaoji unbuckled his seatbelt and said, "You wait here, I'm going to find someone."
After saying that, he pushed open the car door, got out, and strode straight to the airport terminal, while simultaneously dialing Mu Huiying's number.
The phone rang three times before being answered, and Mu Huiying's voice came from the other end: "Hello, Xiao Ji! Where are you?"
"Mom, I'm at the lobby entrance." The words had barely left her lips when Dean Guo appeared, dragging his suitcase.
Mu Huiying, who was looking around and making a phone call, was walking towards the exit.
Mu Xiaoji instantly broke into a bright smile, waving her hand and shouting, "Mom, over here!"
Upon seeing her son, Mu Huiying immediately hung up the phone and went to greet him.
"Mom, are you tired from flying? Is it boring?" Mu Xiaoji took Mu Huiying's hand and started the conversation.
"I slept the whole way, I'm not tired at all." Mu Huiying waved her hand with a smile, then asked, not seeing Jiang Chengyu, "Hey? Where's Yu'er?"
“Mr. Cedric and his group have arrived. He’s inside entertaining them.” Mu Xiaoji turned to Dean Guo. “Uncle Guo, can I have your suitcase?”
"No need, no need, I didn't bring much." Dean Guo waved his hand. "Let's go out quickly."
The three arrived at the parking lot, where Xiang Xiaowu was already standing next to the car. He smiled, opened the car door, and greeted them warmly:
"Dean Guo, Madam, you must be tired from your journey! Please get in the car, just give me the suitcase." He said, taking the suitcase from Dean Guo and putting it in the trunk.
Once everyone was on the bus, he quickly started the engine, and the car merged into the traffic. He skillfully overtook and changed lanes in the turbulent flow of traffic, speeding towards Xing Teng Restaurant.
Soon, the car stopped in front of Xing Teng Restaurant.
Jiang Chengyu quickly stepped forward, opened the car door, and said with a smile, "Uncle Guo, Aunt Mu, I should have gone back to G City to pick you up. It was my fault for being impolite."
Dean Guo got out of the car and waved his hand: "With your thoughtful consideration, and with transportation so convenient now, why bother with all that trouble? We'd be fine if we didn't know the way."
Mu Huiying got out of the car and looked at the impressive exterior of Xingteng Restaurant with a surprised expression:
"The wedding is being held right here? Is everything ready? Isn't it too rushed?"
Mu Xiaoji stepped forward to help her: "Mom, let's go inside! We don't need anything, you can just be a good grandma."
Mu Huiying laughed heartily, "Oh my, Xiao Ji is so good. I've never really done anything for you in my life. All I've ever done for you is to be your mother."
"The twins are upstairs too. Have you been thinking about the children these days?" Mu Xiaoji asked playfully.
"I've been so bored since you all left. Because of this, your Uncle Guo took me to stay at the welfare home," Mu Huiying said, feeling aggrieved.
As soon as the words were spoken and the group stepped through the door, Youyou came out of the elevator and quickly went to greet them: "Mom Mu, Uncle Guo, you've finally arrived!"
"Oh my, you silly girl, when did you get back?" Mu Huiying asked, pulling her along. "How is your mother-in-law's health?"
"It's nothing serious, they just missed Lele and asked us to go back and stay for a while," Youyou explained.
Jiang Chengyu turned around and saw Cui Jianni and Murong Xue getting out of the car at the door. Several girls were chattering and laughing, talking about something.
He hurriedly said to Youyou, "Youyou, take Uncle Guo and Aunt Mu upstairs to rest. We'll go to the door to greet the guests." After saying that, he took Mu Xiaoji's hand and walked out the door.
Cui Jiani and Murong Xue were seen embracing, while Dou Jinde stood to the side, smoking a cigarette with a blank expression.
Mu Xiaoji joked, "Has our Dean changed his taste to something more extreme? Look at how our Grand Master Song has been left all alone, looking like a dried salted fish."
Upon hearing the sound, Murong Xue separated from Cui Jiani, a bright smile on her face.
Mu Xiaoji added, "No wonder the Dean wouldn't let go! Our Xiaoxue has grown into a stunning beauty! Who wouldn't love her?"
Murong Xue stepped forward and said with a smile, "Ah, President Mu, you've really changed a lot in just a few days."
"Why weren't you this reserved back in school? Otherwise, I wouldn't have married Duan Xinchun; I could have easily married into your family and become Mrs. Song."
Duan Xinchun stepped forward and put his arm around Murong Xue's slender waist, asserting his ownership: "Baby, you can't be fickle, okay? I'll get jealous."
Mu Xiaoji smiled and gestured for everyone to come in: "Mr. Duan, welcome. Please come in."
"Jiang Chengyu..."
Jiang Chengyu looked in the direction of the sound and his gaze fell on Luo Jinxi, who was getting out of the car behind them.
He politely stepped forward and shook hands: "Jinxi, welcome. You must be tired from your journey. Please come in."
Pei Huiping took a suitcase from the trunk and approached Jiang Chengyu. "President Jiang, congratulations on your marriage."
"Forensic Doctor Pei? Welcome, welcome! Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend our wedding. Please come in, both of you." Jiang Chengyu warmly shook hands with Pei Huiping.
At this moment, Dou Jinde threw away his cigarette butt and walked over to Mu Xiaoji: "Mr. Mu, you've tasted the sweetness and forgotten what bitterness tastes like? You still dare to tease me."
Mu Xiaoji waved his hand with a smile and said, "How could that be? I was just reminding you that our Dean has high standards."
You'd better take good care of her, or you'll get kicked out one day and won't even have a place to cry to.
Before the words were finished, a crisp voice suddenly rang out: "Cui Jiani! Murong Xue!"
The two turned around at the same time and saw Yang Ying leading a pair of twins by the hand, walking towards them.
"Yang Ying?" Cui Jiani and Murong Xue were both somewhat surprised.
Yang Ying smiled brightly as she approached the two children, and said to them, "Xiao Long, Xiao Feng, quickly greet them."
The twins called out in unison in their sweet, childlike voices, "Hello, two beautiful older sisters!"
Cui Jianni and Murong Xue exchanged a glance and couldn't help but burst into laughter: "These twins look so alike!"
Murong Xue reached out and patted Xiao Feng's head, saying half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"Yang Ying, to be honest, the child looks more like his father. You haven't changed at all over the years."
With that 'coffee-colored' face, I don't know what got into Fan Wei.
It took a lot of effort and some tricks to finally win her over; it wasn't easy!
Yang Ying glared at her reproachfully: "Murong Xue, how can you talk like that? You still have such a sharp tongue."
While pretending to fight with her, he praised her, saying, "A sharp tongue but a soft heart, a tough-talking but soft-hearted guy."
Xiao Feng looked up and said in her childish voice, "Mommy, don't be angry. Even the pretty older sister is afraid of you."
Upon hearing this, Murong Xue abruptly stopped, bursting into laughter, and scooped up Xiao Feng in her arms.
"Oh my, you must be Xiaofeng, right? Xiaofeng is such a good girl." After saying that, she didn't forget to kiss the tender little face.
Jiang Chengyu and Mu Xiaoji then stepped forward and patted Fan Wei on the shoulder:
"Everyone, please come in and sit down so we can chat." With that, he led the group into the restaurant.
"Jinxi..."
Luo Jinxi was chatting with Cui Jianni when she asked, "Dean, why did you come to Kuncheng without saying a word?"
Come with me on the way, it'll keep you company! What, are you worried I'll be a bother...?
Luo Jinxi's words were tinged with teasing, but before she could utter the word "lovely," she heard a familiar voice;
Hearing this, she turned around and saw her parents and grandfather walking towards her. She was surprised and immediately smiled as she went to greet them.
Mu Xiaoji and Jiang Chengyu quickly stepped forward, greeting them with smiles: "Professor Cao, Professor Luo, we are truly flattered that you two could come!"
Cao Guohua patted them on the shoulder and said with emotion, "Silly boys, you two have gone through so much hardship to get to where you are today."
We've finally tied the knot, so we absolutely have to attend the wedding.
I want to witness with my own eyes your sweet and long-lasting love.
Luo Jinxi hugged her mother's neck playfully and said coquettishly, "Mom, did the sun rise in the west today? It's so hard to see you."
"This child, she's so old and still acting like a spoiled child, isn't she afraid people will laugh at her?" Jinxi's mother patted her back with a smile, her eyes full of affection.
"Hello, Auntie." Pei Huiping smiled and chimed in, "Jinxi always says you're extremely busy, and it's not easy to see you all year round."
She's thinking of you, so this kind of playful behavior is perfectly normal; we're all quite envious of her!
Jinxi's mother looked at him and smiled slightly: "You must be Huiping, right? You look good, young man, very energetic."
"Yes, thank you, Auntie, that's a wonderful compliment," Pei Huiping replied politely.
Luo Jinxi stood up, pulled her mother over and introduced them: "Mom, let me introduce you. These two are the soon-to-be newlyweds, Jiang Chengyu and Mu Xiaoji."
Jiang Chengyu and Mu Xiaoji had just shaken hands with Cao Guohua and Luo Shaoqing when they quickly turned to Jinxi's mother.
She reached out and shook hands: "Hello, Auntie, thank you for coming to witness our wedding."
Luo Jinxi added with a touch of pride, "This is my mother, Deji Zhuoma, a beautiful Tibetan lady."
The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with disbelief. Jiang Chengyu exclaimed sincerely, "Auntie is Tibetan?"
"I never knew you had such a refined air about you. You must be tired from your journey! Come on, everyone, please come inside..." With that, she led the group into the restaurant.
As soon as everyone entered the banquet hall on the third floor and took their seats as arranged, a waiter's clear voice announced from the doorway: "G City Martial Arts Association's congratulatory gift has arrived—a pair of gold-inlaid jade ruyi scepters!"
All eyes turned to the doorway, where someone carefully carried in two sandalwood boxes.
The box was opened, revealing a red velvet lining inside, where a pair of jade ruyi scepters lay quietly.
The water is warm and delicate, with fine gold threads wrapped around the edges, shimmering with a soft luster under the light, making it clear at a glance that it is priceless.
Immediately afterwards, Guan Shan and Yan Kai walked in side by side, turning slightly to the sides. Behind them, Bai Jinrong, dressed in a smart Tang suit, strode in with a radiant expression.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Chengyu and Mu Xiaoji quickly stepped forward, their faces showing some surprise.
Mu Xiaoji spoke first: "Vice President Bai, why didn't you let us know you were coming? We could have picked you up."
Bai Jinrong glanced at him, her tone slightly reproachful: "It's already good enough that President Mu isn't afraid of me interfering. Picking me up is probably just a polite excuse, isn't it?"
"How could that be!" Mu Xiaoji quickly waved his hand. "Vice President Bai has always been upright and honest. It is already an honor for me, Mu Xiaoji, to come all this way to deliver a congratulatory gift."
Jiang Chengyu then made a gesture of invitation: "Vice President Bai, this way please."
At this moment, Cui Jianni stood up and greeted with a smile, "Teacher Bai, please sit here."
As he spoke, he even pulled out a chair for Bai Jinrong, subtly defusing any potential awkwardness.
