Father Shen looked at one after another, and finally threw the ones he didn't consider into the drawer, and pressed the ones he considered on the table.

I plan to ask Shen Shiyi to add WeChat when I see her next time, and then send it to her to choose, which is also a respect for her.

On the day of the Gu family banquet

The entire venue was almost full of people. Father Shen came especially early. Everyone gave the gifts to the housekeeper. He directly avoided the housekeeper and planned to hand them over to the Gu family in person.

Mrs. Shen followed beside him, dressed in rich clothes. Shen Huai's fever had subsided, but he still looked sick.

"Chen Huai, cheer up. If you see your sister later, be polite. After all, you are also a younger brother. Don't imitate your mother."

Father Shen walked beside them and gave instructions. He noticed the Gu family gathered in front of him with his sharp eyes, and instantly stepped away from his wife and son.

He walked very quickly, "Mrs. Gu, Mr. Gu, Madam Gu, this is a gift."

"Thank you. Give it to the butler." Mrs. Gu said politely with a fake smile on her face.

"I thought it would be more sincere to deliver it in person. Has my child Shi Yi arrived yet? I'm Shi Yi's father. She was busy filming a variety show a while ago and hasn't been home yet."

Father Shen didn't feel embarrassed at all, and even started chatting with them in a familiar manner.

The originally indifferent Gu family members changed their expressions instantly after hearing that the other party was Shen Shiyi's father.

Father Gu especially shook Father Shen's hand enthusiastically, "Are you Master Fang Ye's father? Why haven't I seen you bring this child to the banquet before?"

"This is not... This child was frail and sickly and was raised in the countryside. He was only brought back a while ago."

Father Shen was very pleased with Father Gu’s enthusiasm, and the eyes around him became envious.

"So that's how it is. Mr. Shen, I never thought that you have such a daughter. I'm so envious!" Father Gu expressed his envy sincerely.

"Is Shi Yi filming a variety show? What's it called? I'll go watch it when I have time."

Mrs. Gu and her family rarely go online to check out trending entertainment searches, and even less watch TV variety shows. They spend most of their time reading books, exercising, and so on.

"It's about... that brother-sister variety show. My son is also on it. The two kids have been arguing recently and their relationship isn't very harmonious."

Father Shen smiled awkwardly, he didn’t pay attention to what the variety show was called.

"Having two children is so lively." Mrs. Gu and the others were not suspicious. Instead, they treated the Shen family with great enthusiasm.

When Mrs. Shen sat down with Mrs. Gu, she was very pleased with the envious looks from the people around her. The people at their table were all relatively wealthy in the circle of wives.

No one dared to look clearly at Madam Shen sitting in it, and Madam Gu was even very enthusiastic towards her, all because of Shen Shiyi.

Madam Gu suddenly remembered that Shen Shiyi relied on the Gu family's financial support when she was a child, and was slightly puzzled, "Madam Shen, didn't you leave the child in the countryside without giving her any money?"

"Well...our family used to be in financial difficulty." A flash of embarrassment crossed Mrs. Shen's face.

At that time, she only wanted to concentrate on raising her son, and other things...

"So that's how it is."

"Master Fang Ye is here!" Someone in the crowd cheered.

Madam Gu immediately put Mrs. Shen down and walked over to greet her, "Shi Yi, you're here, your mother is here too."

When Shen Shiyi was led over, his eyes met with Madam Shen's, and there was indifference in her eyes.

Mrs. Shen was a little uneasy. She was afraid that her daughter would expose their bad relationship in public.

She pretended to be calm and said, "Shi Yi, go play over there by yourself. We adults are chatting, it's not appropriate for you, a child, to be here."

"It's okay, it's nothing serious."

"Yes, we also want to talk to Master Fang Ye about some family matters."

"Yeah, that's okay."

The ladies at the table all spoke up immediately. They were so happy to sit at the same table with such a "kid" that just a photo of them together was worth showing off.

When Shen Shiyi was taken to sit by Madam Gu, he was specially arranged to sit next to Madam Shen.

People in the circle only found out today that Shen Shiyi was the daughter of the Shen family. The wealthy circle never pays attention to things in the entertainment industry.

So no one knew that the Shen family and Shen Shiyi had a bad relationship.

"Master Fang Ye, I wonder when you can come to our house to help with business matters. My husband keeps talking about you."

"Next time for sure." Shen Shiyi answered politely. Everyone had heard of her catchphrase.

It means nothing and perfunctory.

"Okay, okay, then we'll all wait for your next visit, but we don't have any contact information, so how can we make an appointment next time?" Someone smiled and wanted to add contact information.

"Add one, Sister Fang Ye."

"Yes, yes."

Shen Shiyi looked at the group of beautifully dressed ladies and laughed. He could only take out his phone to add them, "Okay."

She is always polite to polite people.

Mrs. Shen sat aside and watched this scene with an extremely embarrassed expression. She didn't even have any WeChat friends about her own daughter, and it would be embarrassing if the news got out.

After Shen Shiyi and the dozen or so noble ladies at the table added each other as friends.

Someone suddenly looked at Madam Shen and asked, "Mrs. Shen, why have you never posted about your daughter on your Moments? If I had known your daughter was Shi Yi, I would have wanted to go to your house often to have tea with Shi Yi."

“I…” Madam Shen moved her lips, unable to explain a word.

How could she know that a fortune teller could have such a great influence.

“You can’t find me at the Shen family if you want to have tea with me.” Shen Shiyi smiled softly.

Her words undoubtedly revealed a message, that is, she did not live in the Shen family!

"Haven't you moved back to the Shen family yet? Why don't you come live at my house? I have plenty of rooms."

“My room is big!”

“I even have a small garden at home!”

"Thank you all for your kindness. I have my own villa." Shen Shiyi looked at the noble ladies arguing about this and quickly spoke up.

Everyone was disappointed but also understood one thing: the Shen family had a bad relationship with Master Fang Ye.

At the following dinner table, everyone's attitude towards Mrs. Shen was relatively cold, and they even forgot about her when pouring wine, which made Mrs. Shen look embarrassed.

She, who always cared about her reputation, could no longer sit still and left the table without even saying hello.

No one paid much attention to her. Mrs. Gu glanced at her and didn't try to keep her. When the meal ended, everyone went around the banquet hall to socialize.

Madam Gu quietly took Shen Shiyi's hand, "Shiyi, how is your relationship with the Shen family? Do you think our Gu family needs to favor the Shen family more, like cooperation or something like that?"

"No need, just treat it normally." Shen Shiyi said bluntly.

"Okay, then I understand." Mrs. Gu suddenly realized.

The other wives also looked up some information about the Shen family and Shen Shiyi on the Internet. They could all sense the discord from the young master of the Shen family's ignorant words.

The Shen family also lost the status that everyone came to please them when they first came to the banquet.

Father Shen: "Did you say something about Shen Shiyi again at the wine table just now? Why is everyone unwilling to pay attention to us!"
