Although Ning Jing's father is just a housekeeper, he has a high reputation in the Shen family. He was the major shareholder of the Shen family as early as when Grandpa Shen Yan was alive. This time Ning An was wronged, and Shen Mo was indispensable, plus he was the person Ning Jing liked. Even for the sake of his daughter, I believe Ning Jing's father will definitely support Shen Mo when he comes back this time.
So the eldest wife tried her best to please Jing Jing's father. In order to hold a grand and unique birthday banquet for him, she put a lot of thought into choosing the location of the hotel. She almost visited all the five-star hotels in S. After trying it again, I was still not satisfied, and almost decided to move elsewhere. Finally, it was Dong Ning who suggested it himself. An old acquaintance of his was a heavy drinker. A few years ago, he acquired dozens of acres of land for planting grapes in the suburbs of S. Several old farmhouses were improved and turned into a manor-style hotel.
It didn’t carry out any marketing publicity and relied entirely on the support of insiders, so most people had no idea that there was such an exquisite hotel hidden in the mountains.
Probably the boss is really not short of money and is willful. He bought land and a farmhouse and renovated it according to his own preferences. There are not many guest rooms, only seven or eight. They are not mainly used for business. He usually entertains some friends or business partners. This time I borrowed it to celebrate Ning's birthday.
Shen Yan drove up the mountain by himself. Because the location was hidden, he was worried that the guests would not be able to find him. Therefore, the team in charge of the birthday party had already erected signboards at each intersection on the mountain road. The signboards were also customized and made of logs with carved patterns. , with arrows and the address of the birthday party drawn on it, it can be seen that the eldest lady really put a lot of thought into this birthday party.
Shen Yan arrived at the scene at almost half past seven. The entrance was already very busy. The specially set up parking lot was already full of cars, and there were on-site staff responsible for guidance.
This birthday was a big one. It had been a few years since Director Ning disappeared. When he came back this time, almost all the elites from the business community in S City were present. This is what the eldest wife wants. The Shen Mo of today is not the Shen Mo of the past. He already has the Zeng family in his hands, and his strength has improved not just a little bit.
If Director Ning can support her again, Mrs. Shen can be said to be his, so the eldest wife is the most active, laughing all night and constantly walking among the guests.
Shen Yan didn't like this kind of occasion, it should be said that he was very repulsive, so he didn't rush to get out of the car. Instead, he sat in the car and lit a cigarette. But after taking two puffs, he received a call from Liu Sijie.
"Master Yan, I still haven't seen Xia Yu. How about I go upstairs and knock on the door."
Shen Yan raised his hand and looked at his watch, "No, you go back first."
He blew out the smoke and hung up the phone, looking straight ahead. The entrance to the hotel not far away was brightly lit and there were crowds of people, showing what a lively scene it must be inside. However, the interior of the carriage was cramped and silent, except for the instrument panel. Except for the light of the last button, the rest seems to be in another space.
Shen Yan curled his lips and took another puff of cigarette, suddenly feeling ironic, not knowing which was a dream and which was reality!
At this moment, there were several "dong dong dong" sounds on the glass next to him, and someone knocked on the car window. Shen Yan turned his head and lowered the window. The second wife standing outside couldn't help but waved her hands a few times to open up the car. The smell of smoke.
"Why don't you go in when you're here? Your eldest brother has been here in the afternoon, and the guests have almost all arrived!" The implication is that Shen Yan came late.
He was indeed late. This birthday banquet was hosted by the Shen family. He should have arrived early, or at least greeted the guests at the door as the host, but he was the last one to arrive, which was really unreasonable.
But the second wife didn't dare to question him too much. She didn't know what was going on with the child recently, and she couldn't understand what he was doing.
Take the matter of clearing Ning Jing's grievances. It was obviously his credit, but he gave it to Shen Mo in vain.
That kid was not an easy man, and he actually managed to get Mr. Zeng's hand. With Zeng at his disposal, he had sufficient funds, and Shen's directors who were able to adapt to the changing circumstances immediately stood by him. , if Director Ning were to coax him, the consequences would be disastrous.
The second wife was worried about him and called him a lot in the afternoon, but he didn't answer any of them, for fear that he wouldn't come. Now at least someone has arrived. Although it's a little late, it's at least reasonable.
"Get out of the car first, we're all waiting for you." The second wife opened the door and urged.
Shen Yan's face was solemn and he put out his cigarette. But as soon as he got off the car, he heard someone shouting from outside: "Brother Yan!"
Yang Ke'er trotted over, her figure was light, but she was wearing a pair of trousers, a high-end handmade solid-color shirt, silk shorts, and royal blue high-heeled shoes, which made her legs slender and her makeup was very light, which seemed to be in line with her past style. different.
Shen Yan paused. He didn't expect that she would still be there. Shen Yan heard Zhang Peng say that she went to Europe again.
"Why didn't you see Xia Yu?" Yang Keer asked. She had been here for a while. She thought Shen Yan and Xia Yu would arrive before her, but who knew that one of them was late and the other hadn't arrived yet.
"Yes, why didn't you see Xia Yu?" The second wife also asked at the side.
The two of them seemed to have reconciled recently, but yesterday the eldest lady mysteriously told her that Xia Yu and Zhou Yan were in love. Although he knew that the eldest wife had no answers, the second wife still felt guilty.
After all, Zhou Yan is also a rare talent, no worse than his own son. I wanted to find a chance to test my son's tone, but before I had time to ask, the two of them were out of sync.
"She said there was something wrong, but don't worry, she will definitely come." Shen Yan raised the corner of his mouth and moved forward first.
The second wife then realized what she was doing and took two steps after her: "You didn't bring a gift?"
"What gift?"
"Your Uncle Ning is celebrating his birthday today, so you came here with nothing?"
Shen Yan frowned: "Do you need it?"
"Of course!"
"But don't you often say that a family doesn't have to worry so much?"
"..." The second wife was refuted and was speechless.
Next to her, Yang Keer quickly came to the rescue: "Cousin, brother Yan is joking with you. His share must be prepared by Xia Yu for him."
This time it was Shen Yan's turn to be speechless.
"Don't look at me like that. I also heard what Zhang Peng said. Yesterday, Xia Yu just took a set of the best purple sand. Uncle Ning likes tea, so he must be prepared to give it to you."
"Look, it's still Xiaoyu, you kid..." The second wife felt much better after hearing Yang Ke'er's words. She scolded Shen Yan for a few words, then turned back to hold Yang Ke'er's hand happily.
Shen Yan glanced around them. It felt really weird at that time, so he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, turned around and walked towards the door of the hotel.
As expected, almost all the guests had arrived. There were already many people standing in the specially set up banquet hall, and new guests continued to arrive.
Director Ning was greeting guests at the door. Standing next to him were Shen Mo and his eldest wife. They were all smiling. The scene was quite harmonious until the second wife called out: "Uncle Ning, Xiao Yan is here!"
The eldest lady's face suddenly darkened. As if she didn't see it, Shen Mo next to her breathed a sigh of relief: "You are a rare visitor. I am the last one to arrive on a day like today."
The second wife had a sarcastic look on her face, her words were clearly a provocation, but that was indeed the case.
"I was supposed to arrive early in the morning, but something happened at the temporary company. I can't blame him. He is too busy at work." The second wife smoothed things over for Shen Yan.
Shen Mo didn't let it go, and said with a half-smile: "Yes, I'm a busy man. It's just that the project at hand is too big. Uncle Ning's matters are naturally not as important as your project." After adding insult to injury, he mocked Shen Yan again. Ichiban.
Shen Yan's face was still expressionless, neither angry nor annoyed. Anyway, he had experienced this kind of thing countless times, and he had amazing endurance in this regard.
Director Ning said from the side, "It's good to be here, work is important."
Seeing the situation, the second wife quickly pulled Shen Yan's sleeves: "I'll apologize to your Uncle Ning quickly."
Before Shen Yan could speak, Dong Ning said with a smile, "Okay, go in, your Uncle Xiao is already here, go say hello to him!"
The second wife was about to lead Shen Yan in, followed closely by Yang Keer, but as soon as she raised her legs, she heard a sound from the door again.
"Uncle Ning!"
Shen Yan and Yang Keer turned around at the same time and saw Zhou Yan and Liu Sijie walking in from the outside, followed by a figure.
Director Ning was quite happy to see Zhou Yan. Without this child, his daughter might not be able to redress the injustice in her life. Ning Dong smiled and planned to greet him, but his figure suddenly flashed.
Dong Ning's eyes lit up.
Zhou Yan, however, had already walked up to him as if nothing had happened.
"Sorry for being late, the place is a little hard to find." As he spoke, he put the words in his hand into the hands of the person signing the gift next to him, smiled politely, "I wish you blessings like the East Sea, longevity as long as Nanshan, and more health every year. Better than a year ago!" Then he gently shook his arm, and the figure behind him was revealed, and he introduced lightly: "In addition, I brought a friend here!"
As if he had a deeper meaning, Shen Mo's face was already very ugly, and his eyes were fixed on that figure. In addition, the eyes of everyone else present also focused on him.
The second wife was full of surprise. She probably never expected that Zhou Yan would get together with this woman.
Shen Mo glanced at Shen Yan and hit his head with the last of his strength. The situation was not right and he could not be impulsive. He could only force himself to lower his head and take a deep breath.
Although Shen Yan told them that they were dating, Shen Mo thought it was in the early stages, but she didn't expect that he would bring her here. If Zhang Hanyu saw it, how would he feel
As for Shen Yan, he seemed to be the calmest from the beginning to the end, his eyes were calm and unrippled. He first glanced at Liu Sijie, who was standing behind Zhou Yan. Liu Sijie spread his hands, with an innocent look on his face, and a hint of "What should I do? I'm very worried too." A sad feeling of helplessness.
Shen Mo then moved his eyes back again, feeling that the figure was dazzling.
She was actually wearing green, with a low neckline that exposed a large area of scenery, sharp collarbones, and a delicate waistline. The exposed arms and legs, the skin on her chest and shoulders were astonishingly white under the light, and her skin was like cream, and those on her earlobes were A round pearl.
If Shen Mo remembered correctly, Zhang Hanyu bought this for her.
At this time, Zhang Hanyu, who had been helping to organize the birthday banquet, came over, probably to discuss matters with Shen Mo. Maybe he didn't notice who was standing next to Shen Mo, and he was stunned when he approached.
When Shen Yan saw this scene, he couldn't help lowering his head and smiling, "What's this?" Wearing the skirt given by Zhang Hanyu, wearing the earrings given by him, and then holding Zhou Yan's arm to provoke
