She raised her head high and looked around, just as she was about to look for Qiao Ruoxi, she heard someone calling her name.

Looking closely, it turned out to be Pei Junyan's mother Lin Jing, and sitting next to Lin Jing was Old Mrs. Pei.

Shen Suyun was extremely surprised, and hurriedly lifted her skirt and trotted over: “Aunt Lin, Grandma Pei, it was Suyun who was late and failed to entertain you properly.”

She just wanted everyone to see how good the eldest daughter-in-law of the Pei family was to her and how much Old Lady Pei cared about her. Who would dare to say that Shen Suyun was marrying above her station in the Pei family?

Old Mrs. Shen, however, looked unhappy.

Chen Qin walked over with a smile and took Mrs. Shen’s arm: “I’m sorry, Mom, we’re late. Are you not angry?”

Sun Zheng and the three sons of the Shen family also congratulated Mrs. Shen on her birthday.

Old Madam Shen snorted coldly, "I, the birthday girl, am ranked behind outsiders. If others don't know, they would think that our daughter of the Shen family can't get married and is rushing to become someone else's daughter-in-law."

Shen Qin followed Mrs. Shen’s gaze and landed on Shen Suyun.

Seeing Shen Suyun's flattering attitude towards the two people from the Pei family, Shen Qin felt a little embarrassed.

She also wanted to hold Shen Suyun back just now, but Shen Suyun ran too fast.

She sighed and tried to make amends with Old Lady Shen: "Mom, don't blame Yun'er for this. Yun'er will marry into the Pei family sooner or later. If she gets along well with Lin Jing and Aunt Pei, her life will be easier in the future, right? Mom, you've always been very tolerant of Yun'er."

"That was in the past."

Old Mrs. Shen had a cold face and pulled her arm out of Chen Qin's hand.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's announce the start of the meal. I have something to say later."
