Quick Wear: Reversing Life

On New Year's Day, Mr. Wei also flew over specially to spend the holiday with the three of them. He also brought a lot of things and said they were gifts for Wen Jin. The last time the two of them left in such a hurry, they hadn't even given her the gifts.

Elder Wei and Wenxiu said that Madam Wei wasn't a bad person, just a bit aloof. After all, her aristocratic family background made her picky and overly critical, and she felt that Wenxiu was naturally unfit for such a big responsibility.

However, Mr. Wei always felt that Mrs. Wei was self-admiring and could not see the true excellence in people.

He has been in a high position for a long time, so naturally he has his own set of standards for judging people.

A few days later, at Mr. Yuan's birthday party, Mr. Wei also agreed to let Wei Zongquan take Wen Jin to meet some people and get to know them.

With Wei Zongquan's repeated assurances, Wen Xiu agreed to let him take Wen Jin to show up, but after thinking it over again and again, she decided to go with Wen Jin to avoid any accidents at the banquet.

-

Mr. Yuan was the former president of the Chamber of Commerce. Even Old Man Wei was his junior. Many people had benefited from him and he held a very high status in the business world. Almost half of the famous people in the business world came to his 80th birthday party.

The banquet was held in a private garden in S City. It was said that it was a place built by Yuan's grandson for him to spend his remaining years in retirement. It was far away from the city with fresh air, and was very close to a private sanatorium with sufficient medical resources.

It is called a garden, but in fact it is a small private garden. Although the area is not as large as that of a manor, the garden design is ingenious, with pavilions and towers surrounded by strange rocks, and rare flowers and plants full of style.

There were many people coming to the banquet. Fortunately, the living room of the house was spacious enough to accommodate enough people after removing some large furnishings.

Inside, there were elegantly dressed people, most of the ladies were wearing cheongsams and long skirts, leaning against the wooden windows or standing near the screens, chatting and exchanging pleasantries, and the room was filled with warm fragrance.

The men were all on the second floor, chatting with Mr. Yuan. Someone was chatting on the open balcony when he noticed Wei Zongquan coming in from the front gate, accompanied by a woman in a lilac dress.

"Hey, isn't that Ah Quan? There's actually a woman following him. How strange."

His friends glanced at him with amusement: "Didn't his mother introduce Yan Xingai to him a while ago? Who is this woman?"

"I haven't seen him. Hey, is he holding a little kid?"

...

Yan Xingai was chatting with a few friends in the pavilion in the backyard when someone suddenly came over and said to her, "Yan Xingai, weren't you still in contact with the Wei family before?"

The person who came was a rich girl who did not get along with Yan Xingai. The two had been sworn enemies since childhood.

Yan Xingai's good mood turned sour when she saw her. She curled her lips and said, "What's wrong? What does it have to do with you?"

The girl smiled and said, "Wei Zongquan has been secretly married for a long time. His child is almost seven years old. He is here with his wife and children to greet Mr. Yuan."

Yan Xingai's expression suddenly changed.

"What do you mean? Xing Ai was invited by Madam Wei herself."

"Why don't you go to the second floor and take a look for yourself? The lady is so beautiful."

On the second floor, the news brought by Wei Zongquan was like a bolt from the blue.

After all, he was a well-known bachelor, still unmarried and not interested in women in his thirties. However, he suddenly made a splash, appearing in public with his six or seven-year-old son.

Considering the issue of reputation, Wei Zongquan's explanation to the public was that Wen Jin was in poor health and had consulted a master about his fortune, which was not suitable to be announced to the public before he turned six.

However, everyone could more or less guess the real situation, so the female guests looked at Wenxiu with all kinds of inquiries.

Wen Xiu didn't say much, but stood beside Wei Zongquan gently and docilely, with her eyes always on Wen Jin.

Wen Jin was beautiful and graceful, and was very popular with the elders. Some young men who were close to Wei Zongquan saw that Wen Jin had a face that looked exactly like Wei Zongquan's and immediately surrounded her to tease her.

"Oh my god, your son looks so much like you."

"Kid, call me uncle."

Even Mr. Yuan agreed: "Yes, it's the same as when Ah Quan was little."

Wen Jin does not have the fear of strangers like other children. He obediently allows people to pinch his face and touch his head.

Wei Zongquan glanced at these unreliable people indifferently and pulled Wen Jin out of the crowd.

"Brother Quan, you're so stingy." The friend said with a smile: "Look, your son has a better temper than you."

Wei Zongquan snorted coldly: "Stay away from my son."

Someone nearby laughed: "Yuan Jie, please don't harm other people's sons."

Yuan Jie shouted, "Do you know how to speak? What is a disaster?"

Wenxiu stood aside, her eyes occasionally falling on the ornaments on the nearby stand. From the moment she entered the house, she could see that there were many antiques in the house. Perhaps the owner liked to collect these things.

As soon as Yan Xingai went up to the second floor, he saw a woman with fair complexion and thin eyebrows standing next to Wei Zongquan. The woman had a gentle temperament, as quiet and clear as the Suzhou River flowing in the south of the Yangtze River.

Wei Zongquan, who has always been rude to women and a bit cold and old-fashioned, actually included the other party in his circle, and there was indeed a little kid following her.

"Xingai, you're here." Yuan Jie saw Yan Xingai and greeted her with a smile.

Yan Xingai looked at Wei Zongquan and Wen Xiu, and because of the presence of Mr. Yuan, his expression looked a little unnatural.

Wenxiu glanced at Yan Xingai and then looked away with disinterest. Her frivolous attitude made Yan Xingai even more upset.

"Brother Zong Quan, are you married? Why haven't I heard my aunt mention it?" Yan Xingai pulled the corners of his mouth, and his smile seemed a little forced.

Wei Zongquan frowned: "Who are you?"

Everyone:......

Yuan Jie came to Yan Xingai's rescue: "Brother Quan, this is Mr. Yan Heng's granddaughter Yan Xingai."

Yan Heng is a leader in the world of historical antiques and is very successful in the business world. Many wealthy businessmen will ask Yan Heng to act as a guarantor when buying antiques.

It turned out that the girl from the Yan family that Mrs. Wei had mentioned before was her.

Yan Xingai stared at Wen Jin with a forced expression.

...

After a while, Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei also appeared in the banquet hall on the second floor. Everyone wanted to see their attitude towards Wen Jin and Wen Xiu, mother and son, so they all gathered on the second floor.

When Wen Jin saw Mr. Wei, his eyes lit up and he ran to him and greeted him politely.

Mr. Wei liked the way he greeted people politely. He was much more obedient than Wei Zongquan when he was little. His heart softened and he didn't care about his old waist and picked up Wen Jin and shook him.

Although Mrs. Wei was not polite, she did not show any negative attitude in front of others. I don’t know if she did it on purpose or if she was just acting, but she actually reached out and pinched Wen Jin’s cheek.

When everyone saw that this was indeed the attitude to treat one's own grandson, the female relatives immediately started talking to Wenxiu.

But Wenxiu never liked to get involved with this mob.

The heating in the house was on very high, and she wanted to go downstairs to get some fresh air, so she asked Wei Zongquan to look after Wen Jin, and she went downstairs alone to the backyard.

The design style of the Jiangnan water village is indeed fresh and graceful. Next to the pile of rocks in the backyard is a small pond filled with koi. Wenxiu sat on a stone bench nearby for a while, and several koi quickly approached, begging for food.

"What's the background of Wei Zongquan's wife? Do you know her?"

The sound of several girls discussing came from the other side of the rockery.

"I've never seen it before. I don't know where it came from."

"Yan Xingai must be pissed off. She thought the Wei family mistress's seat was a sure thing."

"No way, is Yan Xingai that stupid? Madam Wei just wants to introduce someone to someone, it doesn't mean she really likes him."

"Yan Xingai is much dumber than her brother. Her brother is very smart."

"Is his brother here?"

"Here he is, the one who was chatting with Yuan Jie on the second floor just now."

"Is the Yan family so powerful? Can they get close to Master Yuan?"

"You don't understand this, right? All the antiques in this room were picked by Yan Xingai's brother Yan Linsheng for Yuan Jie. He's Yuan Jie's guest of honor."

"What do you mean? Yan Linsheng is also an appraiser?"

"Yes, Yan Heng's grandson has inherited his legacy. He has a PhD in history from a prestigious university and is much smarter than Yan Xingai. If it weren't for Yan Linsheng, Yan Xingai would never have been able to break into our circle."
