Everyone looked over when they heard the sound.
Shu Mingyu also suddenly raised his head and looked at Mingyue... in the bag in her hand, she saw a very delicate pine and crane longevity ornament inside.
Compared with the previous lifelike parrot ornaments, this pine and crane clay sculpture ornament is obviously much more exquisite and generous in terms of workmanship and painting.
Anyone can see that making this pine and crane clay sculpture is definitely more time-consuming and laborious than making a parrot clay sculpture.
In an instant, Shu Mingyu felt extremely ashamed.
She was actually a little jealous of Mingyue and Sister Yu's happy conversation, and felt that she was ignored by them. But they were good friends, and she only joined in halfway, so she couldn't get a word in on their past, so it was normal for them to ignore her for a while.
Shu Mingyu patted his head in annoyance and warned himself in his heart not to think too much about it in the future.
Seeing this, Murong Qing came over with a smile and said, "Xiao Yuyu, are you so happy that you are silly? Why are you hitting yourself on the forehead?"
However, Lian Yeyu and Song Xunran were very observant and noticed the unnatural look on Shu Mingyu's face.
However, since Mingyue, the person involved, didn't care, they didn't take it to heart either. After all, Shu Mingyu was really pitiful.
"Okay Qingqing, get in the car quickly and don't be late." Song Xunran took the lead in sitting in the back seat and changed the subject.
Murong Qing stuck out her tongue, instantly forgot what she had just said, and got into the car.
Lian Yeyu smiled gently at Mingyu and took the initiative to sit in the front passenger seat.
Just as Mingyue was about to lift the two bags, Shu Mingyu came over spontaneously to help lift the heavier pine and crane longevity ornaments.
Seeing this, Mingyue curled the corners of her mouth and let her pick up the bag.
After all, who would reject a grateful little thing
It was also in the car that Shu Mingyu took out the gift prepared by the Shu family from her bag and told Mingyue embarrassedly that she actually prepared a gift.
Mingyue thought about it and felt that the jade prepared by the Shu family was indeed more valuable than the clay sculptures she made, and was more suitable for Mingyu who was appearing in the circle for the first time. In the end, she left the pine and crane longevity ornaments in the car, which made Song Xunran and others look regretful.
After about twenty minutes, the group arrived at the Wen family's old house.
The housekeeper had been outside receiving guests with a few servants. When he saw the young ladies, he immediately came up to greet them with a smile on his face.
"Miss Song, Miss Lian... you are finally here. The old man has asked several questions just now."
"Thank you for your concern, Grandpa Wen. We will go see him now."
Both sides exchanged polite words.
Song Xunran and others handed over their invitations with impeccable smiles on their faces.
Even Murong Qing, who was usually the most lively and cheerful, seemed like a different person now, with a proper and standard smile on his face.
However, when the butler saw Mingyue, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered his composure.
The matter of the real and fake daughter of the Shu family had already spread throughout the circle, and even the housekeeper of the Wen family knew about it.
Moreover, the granddaughter of the Wen family and Mingyue have never gotten along well. Whenever they get together, there will always be trouble. Of course, the housekeeper pays more attention to Mingyue.
However, today is a special day, and Lian Yeyu and the others are of extraordinary status, so the housekeeper didn't dare to stop them. He could only let the servants take the young ladies to meet the birthday boy.
When Mingyue and his companions arrived at the reception room of the old house, they did not see Grandpa Wen there. Instead, there were a bunch of young people from the circle, all of whom were old acquaintances of Shu Mingyue.
Noticing that another person was coming, a group of people looked over.
At first glance, I saw the girl who was once the nightmare of all the young people and the good child in the eyes of all parents: Shu Mingyue.
"Shu Mingyue, why is she here?" "She's not fake. Well, I heard that she was taken away by her biological parents. I thought she would never appear in front of us again."
"Yeah, I heard that too. Her biological parents' family is quite that."
"Could the girl next to her be the Shu family's biological daughter? She looks quite unique."
"Haha, Changlong, why don't you just say that she is dark?"
"But why is Shu Mingyue with the real daughter of the Shu family? Aren't they enemies?"
"… "
As Mingyue and his group walked into the house, the discussions of the crowd gradually disappeared.
The whole house suddenly became extremely quiet.
Mingyue raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded to everyone, saying, "We are all old friends, so there is no need for me to greet each of you one by one, right?"
One had to admit that her greeting, which turned passive into active, instantly brought everyone back to the fear that they once felt when they were dominated by Shu Mingyue.
Someone smiled subconsciously: "Sister Mingyue..."
The girl who was originally surrounded in the middle sneered when she heard this name, and said sarcastically: "Zhou Haoran, why are you calling her Sister Mingyue? She is just a child from the slums. Do you really think she is still the same Shu Mingyue?"
Murong Qing frowned and said unhappily, "Wen Hexue, what do you mean?"
"I'm just telling the truth, Murong Qing, do you want to care about this?" The girl, Wen Hexue, hypocritically pulled the corners of her mouth and said to Mingyue with great pride.
How could Wen Hexue not hate Shu Mingyue
In the past, she was just an illegitimate daughter who was not allowed to be seen in public. After finally returning to the Wen family, she could hear Shu Mingyue being praised everywhere, and was often scolded by her father for being unpresentable and not half as good as Shu Mingyue.
The outstanding Shu Mingyue made her look so pale in comparison, as if Shu Mingyue was a graceful lotus and she was the lotus root that could not stand the light in the stinky mud ditch.
What was the result? Shu Mingyue was even worse than her illegitimate daughter!
Shu Mingyue is just a child born to a poor guy in the slums. He has been deceiving everyone for more than ten years.
This time, taking advantage of her grandfather's birthday, Wen Hexue specially sent an invitation to Shu Mingyue, just to vent her anger.
Murong Qing didn't care about Wen Hexue's thoughts. She had already turned cold at this moment. "Wen Hexue, I warn you, Yueyue is my good sister. You'd better think twice before you speak."
Song Xunran also stood beside Mingyue, with a sneer on his face, and said meaningfully: "Today is Grandpa Wen's birthday, I don't want to make everyone unhappy. But if someone deliberately makes trouble, then I, Song Xunran, will accompany him to the end."
Lian Yeyu said nothing, but stood firmly on the other side of the bright moon. Everything was self-evident.
Shu Mingyu stood behind Mingyue without even thinking.
When Wen Hexue saw this scene, she clenched her teeth even tighter and her anger instantly grew even higher.
What's so good about Shu Mingyue that she deserves their protection
It was fine that Murong Qing and the others were good friends with Shu Mingyue in the past, since they all came from prominent families.
But now that Shu Mingyue has such a status, why should they still protect her
They should obviously go to her side, as she and they have similar family backgrounds.
Wen Hexue was unwilling to accept the defeat, but she refused to admit defeat.
