Today is the day when the Su family holds a New Year's banquet.
When Father Shen and Mother Shen arrived at the Su family, many people had already come to the Su family banquet. Liu Fang and Su Bainian went to the door to welcome them in, obviously very attentive to their arrival.
Mother Shen glanced at the guests at the banquet, but there were a few who looked familiar, but none of them had spoken. Mother Shen nodded to the person who was looking over, and sat in the corner of the banquet with Father Shen, waiting quietly. There are no guests on this occasion that they need to take the initiative to meet.
At the beginning, Liu Fang and Su Bainian were still outside to welcome guests. When the guests were almost there, they brought some business people to the Shen family's parents, intentionally or unintentionally.
Shen's father and Shen's mother were very polite on the surface and dealt with them politely. Shen's father talked a few words about the economic situation, and Shen's mother talked about some flower-raising skills. It seemed that the chat was enjoyable, but in fact, nothing substantive was promised. Su Bainian and Liu Fang didn't mind either, all they wanted was to let these people know that they and the Shen family were in-laws, and the relationship between the two families was very good, so it would be easier for them to ask these people for help in the future.
"Didn't the Shen family rely on the Su family's relief to avoid bankruptcy?" Someone secretly gossips, "How do you see this, it is the Su family who is flattering the Shen family."
"If the Shen family had completely collapsed at the time, then it would be nothing. But the problem is that if the family did not collapse, it would still be a top giant. Many things cannot be done with money."
"Isn't the Su family at a loss, and they still have to pick up the money after spending money?"
"Didn't Su Hang marry Shen Xi? People have a long-term vision. The Shen family has only one daughter from Shen Xi, and the Shen family will not all belong to the Su family in the future."
"Then why don't you just buy it directly?"
"It's not enough to acquire Shen's 3 billion completely. Besides, after acquiring the Shen's, can you acquire the connections behind the Shen family?"
"After spending 3 billion cloths for such a big game, the Su family has a good plan."
"It's just a pity that Shenxi is married to such an illegitimate child as Su Hang."
"You said that, why didn't the two of them come today?"
"I heard that the relationship between Suhang and the Su family doesn't seem to be very good."
"No way, most of the shares of the Su family are in the hands of Suhang. If it's really like what you said, then the Su family..."
"Not necessarily. After all, didn't the Su family's banquet Shen Hechuan and his wife still come to participate? You must know that Mrs. Shen never attends banquets easily."
"Too… "
Su Mingli, who was hiding and sulking, listened to these remarks with an ugly expression on her face. Half of the people who came to the banquet today were for Su Hang, and the other half were for the Shen family. Why did she, Su Mingli, rely on an illegitimate child who was a beggar to live.
The more she thought about it, the more angry Su Mingli became, she drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, and placed the glass heavily on the table.
"Mingli, come here." Liu Fang found her daughter and beckoned her over.
Su Mingli frowned and did not move.
Liu Fang walked over and asked, "Why are you ignoring me when I talk to you?"
"Why?" Su Mingli asked impatiently.
"Come, follow me to meet Mrs. Shen." Liu Fang pulled Su Mingli and was about to go over.
"I'm not going." Su Mingli shook her hand away.
"What kind of temper are you making?" Liu Fang frowned.
"I don't want to curry favor with the mother-in-law of the illegitimate child." Su Mingli puffed.
"Shut up!" After Liu Fang scolded her daughter, she looked around and found that no one was paying attention before saying, "What nonsense."
Su Mingli bit her lip in dissatisfaction.
Liu Fang dragged her daughter to the side. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she said, "Who am I doing this for? It's not for you. The Su family is now controlled by Su Hang, and your father and I are in the company. There is no real power at all. If it weren't for Su Hang's scruples now, your father and I would have been kicked out of the company by him. Without the Su family, how many people do you think will remember you, the eldest Miss Su family. "
"Why is he?" Su Mingli got angry when she thought about it, the Su family clearly belonged to her.
"Just because he owns 51% of Su's shares, other major shareholders also trust him, and we only have 8%." Liu Fang said.
"Why did you and dad transfer the stock to that illegitimate son?" Su Mingli couldn't understand why they gave the stock to Su Hang in the first place.
"If it wasn't transferred to him, the Su family would have gone bankrupt three years ago," said Liu Fang.
"Can't you sell it to someone else?" Su Mingli still didn't understand why she wanted to sell it to Su Hang.
"If you sell it to someone else and the outside world knows that the Su family has changed hands, do you think we can still mix in the circle?" Liu Fang asked, "Or, you are willing to take this 8% share and rely on that point every year. Dividend to live?"
"Then what can we do now?" Su Mingli said depressedly.
"We need to rely on the connections of Su and Shen." Liu Fang looked at her daughter and said, "Su is no longer ours. When Su Hang has not torn apart with us, we can use the Shen family to open up a lot of connections. Relationship, which is beneficial to the development of our new company, and it is related to our future life, understand?"
"..." Su Mingli nodded solemnly.
Seeing her daughter nodding, Liu Fang's face softened a little. She brought Su Mingli to the Shen family's parents.
"Uncle Shen, hello Aunt Shen." Su Mingli changed her face instantly, her face was cute and cute.
"It's Miss Su." Mother Shen met Su Mingli at the wedding.
"Auntie, just call me Mingli." Su Mingli saw that Mother Shen's shawl was a little crooked, so she leaned forward to help tidy it up, "Auntie, your shawl is crooked, I'll fix it for you."
Mother Shen couldn't dodge at once, so she could only ask Su Mingli to help organize it. The corner of her eyes glanced at the diamond bracelet on her left hand, and her eyes flickered.
"Okay." Su Mingli smiled and released her hand.
"Thank you." Mother Shen asked unintentionally, "Miss Su, this bracelet in your hand is very unique, where did you buy it?"
Su Mingli was stunned for a moment, then raised her left hand and asked, "Is this?"
Father Shen also saw the bracelet in Su Mingli's hand at this time, his eyes flashed, and he immediately understood why his wife suddenly asked about the bracelet.
"Yes, it looks familiar to me." Mother Shen said with a smile.
"It was given to me by a friend of mine." Su Mingli replied.
"What friend? Can you help me ask, where did he get this bracelet?" Mother Shen asked.
From the side, Liu Fang noticed that the expressions of the Shen family and his wife seemed a little wrong, so she couldn't help but ask, "Why, my in-laws know this bracelet?"
Shen's mother glanced at Shen's father, Shen's father nodded to her, and Shen's mother smiled and said, "To be honest, this bracelet may be mine."
"Yours?" Liu Fang was stunned.
"But when my friend gave it to me, he said it was the lucky bracelet he had with him since he was a child." Su Mingli explained.
"Is your friend a man in his thirties? Was an orphan when he was a child?" Mother Shen asked.
"Yes, he spent some time in an orphanage when he was a child, and was adopted when he was eight years old." Su Mingli replied.
"That should be right." Mother Shen said happily, "Miss Su, could you please introduce your friend to us."
"Of course." Although Su Mingli didn't know what was going on, she nodded in agreement.
"My mother, what's going on?" Liu Fang asked.
"If nothing else, Miss Su's friend is a benefactor our Shen family has been looking for for a long time." Mother Shen said with a smile.
Father Shen also nodded.
Liu Fang went on to ask what was going on, but Mother Shen didn't hide it, and brought up the matter of Shen Xi's loss when she was a child.

At this time, Shenxi was listening to Su Hang in his study to explain the future development of the coffee shop to him.
"Open more than 20 branches at once? Will it be too many?" Shenxi asked.
"No." Suhang said with the survey report, "The operation model of your coffee shop is very novel. Take the cat coffee shop in the CBD as an example, the annual turnover is much higher than that of the coffee shops in the same industry by 70%. The 50-square-meter storefront has made the achievement of a 100-square-meter storefront."
"And your coffee shop in the university town. The survey report shows that your reputation ranks first in terms of price, environment, and taste. In addition, you are mainly engaged in public welfare enterprises, and many people are in When consuming, if you know that you can do public welfare by the way, you will come to your house to consume.”
"I asked Fang Yu to find the coffee shop's market report for the past five years, but it won't come out until tomorrow. But even if I don't read the report, I think it's really not many to open twenty first."
"But... I don't have so much money." Shen Xi said.
"You can take a loan." Su Hang said, "Your coffee shop is under the name of the foundation. The charitable qualifications of the Shen's Foundation are very high, and bank loans will be easier. The flow is very impressive and the project prospects are good, so there should be no problem with the approval.”
"But it's so big that I'm afraid I won't be able to manage it." Shen Xi said angrily.
"It's okay." Su Hang smiled and reassured, "We can find someone to help you, just stare at it."
"You help me find it?" Shen Xi turned his head and asked.
"I'll help you find it." Su Hang nodded with a smile.
"Help me watch too?"
"Okay." Su Hang said fondly.
"You can plan so much in just one day. I've been watching it for more than a week, and my mind is still a mess." Shen Xi said in distress, "I really have no business talent."
Su Hang felt that Shen Xi's serious and distressed appearance was also very cute.
"Fortunately, you are here." Shenxi turned to Suhang and smiled sweetly.
Shen Xi was saying this when the mobile phone on the table suddenly rang. Shen Xi picked it up and found that his mother was calling, so he quickly connected.
"Mom?" Shen Xi shouted happily.
"real? "
"That's great?"
"You will tell me then."
Su Hang sat next to Shen Xi. Although the two were very close, they couldn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone. Su Hang was just happy to see Shen Xi.
"Why are you so happy?" Su Hang asked when Shenxi hung up the phone.
"My mother said she found the brother who saved me when I was a child." Shen Xi said happily.
"Save your brother?" Su Hang wondered.
"You may not know." Shen Xi explained, "I was lost once when I was a child, and a little brother rescued me, but when my parents found me, the little brother disappeared. Our family has been looking for He wanted to thank him in person, but I couldn't find it, and now I finally have a clue."
"Where did you get lost?" Su Hang suddenly asked.
"In the hospital." Shen Xi replied.
"How did you find the clues?" Su Hang asked after a moment of indulgence.
"I was wearing a diamond bracelet when I lost it. It was a token of love from my father to my mother. It was custom-made. There is only one in the world." Shen Xi said, "My mother saw it on Su Mingli's hand today. already."
"..." Is that the bracelet he lost
