240: The Chen Yan family was almost missed

Mrs. Shen Er holds a birthday party every year, and this year's is particularly large. Many prominent figures in South City have received invitations.

Shen Yan's mother Guo Xianzhen has been waiting for the invitation to the birthday party.

Guo Xianzhen prepared the dress and jewelry for her birthday party early on, and also made an appointment for a stylist to come to her home.

Preparations were quite thorough, but as time passed, Guo Xianzhen still hadn't received the invitation... Guo Xianzhen was somewhat panicked and specifically asked her husband Shen Shuping: "Did my second sister-in-law forget about me?"

All the important people in Nancheng went to the party, except Guo Xianzhen. What would others think of her?

Guo Xianzhen's question stumped Shen Shuping.

The old house has never had a close relationship with Shen Shuping. They invite us to some gatherings but not to others.

However, Guo Xianzhen was always invited to Mrs. Shen's birthday party in previous years. The old house did not want outsiders to discuss the Shen family's affairs in private, so the overall harmony needed to be maintained.

The event was so grand this year, but Guo Xianzhen was not invited. Doesn't this clearly show that they have something against their third brother, Shen Shuping?

Shen Shuping has been troubled by many things recently.

First, the project that had been prepared for several years with Wen Zhicheng suddenly fell through. The two had been talking about doing something else, but Wen Zhicheng was active in the early stages but is now procrastinating, which has made Shen Shuping less motivated.

It seems like the tide has turned in just three or four years. Wherever he went, he was always buying land and building houses, driven by the popularity of real estate projects. Now, wherever Shen Shuping goes, he hears people talking about livestreaming and building IP. Some people ask Shen Shuping if Shen Yan's MCN company is profitable, while others indirectly ask how much a big internet celebrity like Xu Yao earns in a year.

Isn't it funny? What is the relationship between Xu Yao and the Shen family? How could Shen Shuping know how much money Xu Yao can make? Xu Yao was engaged to Shen Yan before, but that can't tie them up for life, right?

What's more, they even hinted that Shen Shuping could let Xu Yao and Shen Yan rekindle their relationship. Everyone heard that Xu Yao is now divorced... This is even more ridiculous. Shen Yan has not yet fallen to the point of marrying a divorced internet celebrity!

Shen Shuping doesn't want to hear how much money internet celebrities can make in a year. Internet celebrities are packaged by MCN companies and are tools for MCN companies to make money.

Chen Shuping also didn't want to hear others talk about the influence of internet celebrities. Why would a well-known family marry an internet celebrity?

The scandal surrounding the internet celebrity Tangtang, who signed with Shengshi Entertainment, and Huahu's boss Jiang Zhiyan has become so widespread. Tangtang even has a child with Jiang Zhiyan, yet she hasn't married into the Jiang family. On the surface, it appears that Tangtang doesn't want to marry, but in reality, she can't and is simply creating a false persona to make money.

Shu Ping Shen has a very bad impression of all internet celebrities!

"I'm talking about my second sister-in-law's birthday party. Why are you mentioning Xu Yao?"

Guo Xianzhen just felt confused.

Shen Shuping snorted, "Lin Meixian will definitely bring Xu Yao to Second Sister-in-law's birthday party. Those gossipy guests will dig up the fact that she and Shen Yan were engaged. Do you want to hear it?"

Of course Guo Xianzhen didn't want to listen!

But she couldn't just skip the birthday party just to avoid Xu Yao, right?

Guo Xianzhen's tone was off whenever she mentioned Lin Meixian. "Seeing Xu Yao wasn't a big deal. Didn't she recently divorce that Gu guy? If anyone wants to talk about it, it's definitely about this matter. Compared to Xu Yao, Lin Meixian is still more capable. This woman flatters the second sister-in-law and is very close to her. I heard she's even using her connections to get projects to make money. Do you think Wen Zhicheng is unaware of this, or does he know but doesn't want to intervene?"

Shen Shuping felt that Wen Zhicheng didn't want to care.

Anyway, Lin Meixian married Wen Zhicheng and they became a family, so doesn't Lin Meixian's money making also mean Wen Zhicheng's money making?

Wen Zhicheng established connections with the Shen family's old house through Lin Meixian, and was no longer so interested in cooperating with Shen Shuping.

After much thought, Shen Shuping decided that he had to go to Mrs. Shen's birthday party.

Shen Shuping didn’t want to ask Shen Zhongjun himself, so he asked Shen Yan to take the initiative to call Mrs. Shen Er.

Chen Yan was even more anxious than his parents when he didn't receive an invitation to a party that most of the important people in South City were attending. If this news got out, everyone would know that Chen Yan's family and the old mansion were not on good terms, which would make it difficult for Chen Yan to get things done outside... Chen Yan refused to acknowledge the two secret expectations in his heart.

When Shen Yan called Mrs. Shen Er, he certainly wouldn't ask her directly why she didn't send an invitation to his family.

Shen Yan is concerned about the preparations for Mrs. Shen Er's birthday party.

How can a nephew not care about his second aunt’s birthday?

It's normal for the second aunt to ask her nephew to run errands if she has any instructions!

Mrs. Shen said calmly, "Xu Yao will be here. Are you sure you want to come?"

Chen Yan's breathing tightened, and he pretended to be calm: "What happened between Xu Yao and me is nothing new. Whether she goes or not will not affect my running errands for you."

"Then come if you want."

Mrs. Shen Er still gave Shen Yan a way out: "When you come over, take your parents' invitation back by the way."

Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally got the truth!

Shen Yan told his parents the news. Shen Shuping's mouth opened, and Guo Xianzhen smiled directly: "I said my second sister-in-law forgot!"

Guo Xianzhen urged Shen Yan to go out quickly.

Since Chen Yan said he would help prepare for the party, it would be a good idea to go to the Shen family's old house more often in the next few days.

Chen Yan did not delay and went to the Shen family's old house that afternoon.

When he arrived, Mrs. Shen was still taking a lunch break, so Shen Yan waited for a while in the small garden. Bored, he took out his phone to watch videos and came across the scandal between Xu Yao and Vice President Orca.

Some people say that Xu Yao divorced because she hooked up with the vice president of Orca, and being with the platform's top executives was a great help to Xu Yao's career.

But Chen Yan knew that the rumor was definitely false.

Although Gu Jun is not the vice president of Huahu, he still has a lot of influence around Jiang Zhiyan. It is obviously unreasonable for Xu Yao to ignore Gu Jun's resources in Huahu and flirt with the vice president of Orca!

Therefore, Chen Yan still hasn't figured out why Xu Yao wanted to divorce Gu Jun.

Mrs. Shen Er woke up from her lunch break and heard that Shen Yan had been waiting for a long time, so she asked Shen Yan to come in and talk.

This party was organized by Shen Yan's younger cousin, who is Shen Boxiong's youngest daughter. She is a few years older than Shen Yan and married to Hong Kong City two years ago. This year, she came back specially to help Mrs. Shen organize the party. It can be seen that the scale of this party is indeed different from previous years.

But why?

Isn’t it Mrs. Shen’s birthday this year?

Chen Yan was puzzled, and his cousin waved at him, "Second Aunt said you volunteered to help with the preparations. That's great! We have more guests this year than in previous years, and I'm afraid I'll make mistakes and neglect anyone. I'll be relieved to have you to help me!"

The younger cousin said as she handed Shen Yan a guest list.

Chen Yan looked at the guests lined up in front of him, all of whom were familiar names.

There are those from Gangcheng, and the Jiang family from Dongcheng...the standards are really high!
