Hearing this, Ji Zhuohang had a shocked expression on his face. He looked at the person in front of him and said, "Are you saying that she is also related to Jiang Xiaofeng and is Jiang Xiaofeng's woman?"

The man in black nodded.

Ji Zhuohang couldn't believe it and said fiercely: "All the daughters of my Ji family like that guy."

The man in black also showed an angry expression when he heard Ji Zhuohang's words.

Everyone knows that the head of the Ji family in Kyoto has only one daughter, the great beauty Ji Yurou who is famous throughout Kyoto.

Few people know that Ji Zhuohang has an illegitimate daughter.

That illegitimate daughter is Liu Qingcheng.

The servant just said that both Liu Qingcheng and Ji Yurou like Jiang Xiaofeng.

He was filled with anger now.

After a while, Ji Zhuohang asked the man in black opposite: "How is Qingcheng now?"

"Miss Qingcheng is very nice. I heard that a new company will start operations recently." The man in black replied respectfully.

"Then help me keep an eye on her. If she has any difficulties, help her secretly." Ji Zhuohang said.

"Okay, sir."

Ji Zhuohang said: "Okay, it's okay. You can go first."

The man in black bowed respectfully, then turned and left.

Ji Zhuohang sat down and meditated.

…

the next day.

The He family is very happy today.

Because today is the birthday of the old man of the He family.

The He family invited many people, all of whom were important figures in Kyoto.

Because of the He family's status in Kyoto, and because it was the 80th birthday of the He family, many people who had not received the invitation came over with gifts to celebrate the He family.

Everyone in the He family is busy congratulating the old lady on his birthday.

Because Mr. He was already old, he did not greet the guests outside, so these tasks naturally fell on He Pingyue's shoulders.

He Pingyue is now the head of the He family, so he stands at the door to greet the guests who come to celebrate his father's birthday.

This time we celebrated the old man’s 80th birthday and held it directly in the He family compound. The He family is very spacious, so it is easy to hold a banquet.

At almost noon, Mrs. Song from the Song family in Kyoto arrived, and he got out of the car accompanied by his grandson Song Jinsheng.

When He Pingyue saw that Mr. Song was here in person, he quickly came out to welcome him: "You are here in person. My He family is very honored."

Mr. Song is short and fat, with a smile on his face and is very kind.

It can be imagined that back then, the kind old man who is now kind was also a ruthless character in the past.

Otherwise, how could the Song family become a prominent family in Kyoto now?

Old Mrs. Song smiled and said: "Pingyue, you are too outspoken. Your father and I are good friends, and I will definitely come to such a happy event for his birthday. Jin Sheng, hurry up and get the things I gave to my old friend.

Come."

"Okay." Song Jinsheng quickly took out the birthday gift he had prepared in advance.

He Pingyue took the gift and quickly expressed his gratitude.

What Old Mrs. Song brought was a famous painting, which was of great value. It seemed that Old Mrs. Song was also interested.

He Pingyue asked his son to pick up the painting and put it away. He quickly stepped forward and took the initiative to help Mr. Song lead the way and let him into the yard.

At this time, Mr. Xu's car from the Xu family also arrived. Xu Yong and a girl were accompanying him.

Mr. Xu is almost eighty years old, but he is still tall, but not as tall as before. But his eyes are still very heroic, and it seems that he was not a simple person before.

He Pingyue happened to come out of it and saw Mr. Xu arriving, so he hurried over to greet him.

"Mr. Xu, it's such an honor to have you here too."

Unlike the old man of the Song family, Mr. Xu had a serious face and said, "Why, I can't come to the old man of the He family for his birthday? Yong'er, bring the things for Mr. He."

Xu Yong also quickly took out the birthday gift, which was an antique vase.

He Pingyue quickly took it and expressed his thanks again and again.

He Junchen also stood beside him to help his father greet the guests. When he saw Xu Yong, Xu Yong just glanced at him, and their expressions became a little complicated.

To congratulate the old lady on his birthday, two old ladies from four major aristocratic families in Kyoto came and brought elaborate gifts, which shows the status of the old lady.

It's just that everyone present was very curious. The old master of the Xu family and the Song family came to celebrate their birthdays in person, but no one from the Ji family was seen.

Not even the younger members of the Ji family showed up.

Everyone was talking a lot, speculating on the reason why no one from the Ji family came.

He Pingyue also discovered that the old man came personally to the Xu family and the Song family, but only the Ji family had not shown up yet.

He felt a little unhappy.

Preparations for the birthday banquet began, and the old man of the He family finally appeared, accompanied by his granddaughter He Danyuan, and a group of servants following behind.

When everyone saw Mrs. He appearing, they all stood up and applauded happily.

Mrs. He was also very happy when he saw everyone's enthusiasm, and nodded and thanked everyone.

He came directly to Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Song, held them tightly with both hands, and said gratefully: "My old friends, thank you for still thinking about me and coming here in person today.

I'm really happy."

"Old friend, I'm very happy to see you today too."

"We are getting older and we see each other less often. I must come to such an important day."

The three old people held each other's hands tightly and smiled happily.

This scene is really rare to see. The old men of three of the four major aristocratic families in Kyoto gathered together.

After all, every family appearing alone would cause a sensation in Kyoto. Today, three people gathered together.

It was a rare occasion to see the three elderly people, chatting and laughing very happily.

Suddenly Mr. Xu asked: "Why didn't you see Lao Ji?"

When Mrs. Xu said this, Mrs. He was a little unhappy.

In fact, when he came out just now, he noticed that only the Xu family and the Song family were here, and no one from the Ji family was seen. It seemed that he did not come on purpose.

Now that Mr. Xu has told this matter, Mr. He is a little confused.

Mrs. Song quickly came out to smooth things over and said, "Mr. Ji doesn't like to join in the fun, so he might not come. It doesn't matter. If he doesn't come, then the three of us will be happy."

When Mrs. He heard this, he also pretended to say: "Yes, yes, as long as we are happy, but my health has been really bad in the past few years, and I can't drink. You two can drink, and I won't accompany you anymore."

.”

When Mr. Song heard this, he pretended to be a little angry and said: "We are here specifically to celebrate you. You, the protagonist, still don't drink. How boring."

Seeing that he couldn't shirk it, Mr. He said, "Okay, okay, then I'll have a few drinks with my brothers."

Others saw the three old people chatting happily, but no one dared to say anything for fear of disturbing them.

While the three elderly people were chatting happily, the servant at the door suddenly shouted loudly: "The Ji family is here to celebrate the birthday of the old man, and I will give him a birthday gift."

Everyone present turned their heads towards the door.
