Chapter 218: Chapter 218: The Banquet Welcoming the Distinguished Guest Chapter 218: Chapter 218: The Banquet Welcoming the Distinguished Guest As the price reached over four million, Qin He and Jiang Fanyue were still bidding, just as Gu Jiaheng was about to speak.

Jiang Fanyue boldly raised her bid, “Four million five hundred thousand!”

Jiang Zhe spoke indifferently, “Qin He, that’s enough, let’s go.”

Qin He put the purple clay teapot back, “Then you buy it.”

Jiang Fanyue knew that Jiang Zhe could not possibly produce so much money.

A thought flickered in Gu Jiaheng’s mind, Jiang Zhe had voluntarily given up! Was she trying not to embarrass me?

“Big brother Heng, shall we buy this one?” Jiang Fanyue asked.

“Sure, let’s buy it.”

Jiang Fanyue actually felt quite distressed about the price.

But upon reflection, as long as her grand-uncle liked it, this amount of money was nothing at all.

Besides, managing to frustrate Jiang Zhe was a rare feat.

So she went ahead and paid for the purchase.

Qin He followed Jiang Zhe’s steps, “Miss Jiang, do you think that purple clay teapot is real?”

“It’s worthless,” Jiang Zhe said offhandedly.

“Then they…” Qin He recalled the item Jiang Fanyue bid over four million for.

If Jiang Zhe said it was worthless, it must be worthless. Hadn’t Jiang Fanyue suffered a huge loss?

Qin He caught on, “Miss Jiang, you sure are something, trapping them without a word to say.”

Jiang Zhe casually browsed the surrounding items, “Did I trap them?”

Qin He followed with a laugh, Miss Jiang was extremely magnanimous. She didn’t set a trap; they dug their own pit and even picked up the hoe to bury themselves.

“Take a look at that one, buy it if the price is right,” Jiang Zhe nonchalantly pointed at an antique-looking Nine-Dragons Entwined Branches Tang Colored Glaze Blue and White Porcelain Vase for Qin He.

Qin He went up to check, and without bargaining after the seller gave a price, he bought it.

It wasn’t expensive, only two hundred thousand.

Jiang Fanyue and Gu Jiaheng came by and when they heard that Jiang Zhe’s new purchase was only two hundred thousand, they couldn’t help but inwardly shake their heads.

“Is Jiang Zhe going to your grand-uncle’s as well?” asked Gu Jiaheng.

“I don’t know, but this time the banquet at my grand-uncle’s is being arranged by my elder aunt. She mentioned she did not invite Jiang Zhe. However, it’s indeed very likely that she will show up…”

Jiang Fanyue’s biggest concern and annoyance were just that, Jiang Zhe liked to meddle in everything.

If she happened to catch grand-uncle’s attention, it would be troublesome.

“Since your elder aunt is hosting it, Jiang Zhe won’t be able to get in without an invitation,” said Gu Jiaheng, “Don’t worry.”

Jiang Fanyue nodded slightly, “I’ve heard that they’re tidying up the ancestral house at my grand-uncle’s. I want to go and see if there’s anything I can help with.”

“Then I’ll accompany you.”

“Alright.” Jiang Fanyue said she was going to help out, but actually, she wanted to see if she could bump into grand-uncle.

Building a good impression before anyone else could surely make a difference on the day of the banquet.

The two placed their newly purchased purple clay teapot at home and then drove straight to the Jiang Family ancestral house.

Once there, the ancestral house was indeed being repaired and cleaned.

Having not been lived in for a long time, although the house was still intact, it was not suitable for inhabitation without cleaning.

Jiang Fanyue wandered around the place, inside and out, only to find workers without spotting any familiar faces.

“Where is your host?” Jiang Fanyue inquired.

“We don’t know, the boss arranged for us to come and work,” the workers were clueless.

Jiang Fanyue stayed here for a while, utterly bored, so she had no choice but to leave first.

…

After sending Jiang Zhe back to school, Qin He immediately delivered the vase to his elder brother.

The next day, Jiang Zhe received his message, “Miss Jiang, my brother said his father-in-law really liked the gift. He had been dragging his feet over setting a wedding date, but upon seeing the gift, he immediately set a time. Gifts had been offered before, but only this one truly reached his heart.”

“Glad he liked it,” Jiang Zhe responded.

It seemed that the father-in-law also had some taste.

“Thank you, Miss Jiang.”

Jiang Zhe accepted his thanks and told him a time to come pick her up.

Xiao Meng poured Jiang Zhe a cup of hot water, “Xiaozhe, drink some hot water.”

“Mhm,” Jiang Zhe picked up the insulated cup.

The air conditioning was on in the dormitory, and the air was very dry.

Xia Enci leaned next to Jiang Zhe and asked, “Xiaozhe, what have grandpa and my mom been busy with these past few days? Why are there so many things going on?”

“Getting ready to go home,” Jiang Zhe said.

“Home? Where? What’s happening?” Xia Enci was completely out of the loop.

Jiang Zhe simply explained, “Grandpa has an ancestral house, and he’s planning to move back there soon. We might also be going to live there in the future.”

“Ancestral house? That sounds so impressive! Does that mean our family is actually some kind of amazing household that’s been kept secret from me? Am I about to become a second-generation rich kid?” Xia Enci joked.

It had to be said, her joke had accurately guessed the truth.

Jiang Zhe also understood why grandpa and her aunt had always kept Xia Enci in the dark; she had a simple and pure heart and was rather impulsive. It was better for her not to know many things.

It was a kind of protection for her.

Seeing Jiang Zhe remained silent, she pressed, “So it’s true then?”

“Let’s bring Xiao Meng along when the time comes,” Jiang Zhe said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Meng smiled sweetly, “Okay, I’ll come over and bother you again.”

On that day.

Wen Xia organized a banquet at home to welcome Jiang Shao back and invited many distinguished guests to the event.

With Jiang Shao’s return being so significant, everyone who received an invitation took it seriously and dressed up for the banquet.

Liang Jinlan kept Jiang Yunxuan at home, his eyes had just recovered, and it wasn’t advisable for him to be out and about.

Besides, he was direct and rigid in nature, not adept at sweet-talking. Liang Jinlan feared that he might inadvertently say the wrong thing and offend someone if he went. It was better to let Jiang Fanyue first establish a good impression.

“Mom, let’s go,” Jiang Fanyue approached, holding Xiaobao, dressed to the nines with delicate makeup on her face.

She appeared both gentle and generous, incredibly fitting.

Liang Jinlan and Jiang Zhang were also dressed in brand-new clothes today, dressed neatly without a trace of negligence.

The three of them got into the car and headed straight for Jian Xiliang’s house.

Jian Xiliang usually lived in a modest house in the city.

But not far from the Jiang Family ancestral home, Jian Xiliang also had a villa.

The location of today’s banquet was at this villa.

Jiang Zhang’s family arrived early, and Wen Xia warmly welcomed them inside.

“Jinlan, Fanyue! You both look so beautiful today!” Wen Xia was quite enthusiastic towards the mother and daughter.

Seeing that some distinguished guests had already arrived, Liang Jinlan was excited, “Sister-in-law, Fanyue and I together can’t compare to your beauty, so there’s no need for such flattery. Fanyue, come and show your gratitude to your aunt. Yunxuan’s illness would have been dire if it weren’t for your aunt’s hard work everywhere. Without her, we don’t know what would have become of Yunxuan’s eyes.”
