The banquet was upstairs and had already started; Chen Rou and Zai Zai only needed to make an appearance.
Although Nie Shenyuan only made one appearance, the atmosphere was still very lively.
The elevator was decorated with colorful paper signs that read "[We are one month old]", "[Mother and baby are safe and sound]", and "[Good health]".
Stepping out of the elevator, amidst the soft sound of piano music, the entire hallway was filled with flowers, but the high places were covered with plush toys. However, there was no pungent floral scent, and the air was very fresh. When she entered the restaurant, she found it strange that the little one was staring intently at the ceiling. Looking up at the ceiling, well, poverty limited her imagination. But she also felt that Nie Zhao was being far too wasteful with money.
Because the original ceiling has been replaced, the entire space is now illuminated by starry sky lights, creating a soft glow. In the future, this restaurant will undoubtedly become a must-visit spot for online celebrities to take photos.
Chen Rou withdrew her gaze and asked Song Yuanchao, "Which private room is Master Er in? And Master Dong?"
In fact, there were only three tables of people in total. She guessed that Nie Zhao had arranged them separately. Chen Rou's ambitious plan was to bring her little one today to formally get the two old men to put aside their prejudices and shake hands in reconciliation.
But this was the first time something had happened that Chen Rou hadn't expected.
Song Yuanchao pointed to a private room and said, "The two of them are in a private room, and there is only one empty seat in the middle."
You should know that it took Chen Rou a lot of effort to mediate between the two old men.
She even rushed into the Kowloon parade, was groped, and carried a Barrett rifle for 2.5 kilometers. After firing the shot, her entire arm was numb for a long time and she couldn't lift it. Now she still wants to push it again.
But the two old men didn't need her to catalyze them; they shook hands and made peace on their own initiative.
She was a little skeptical; she wanted to see it for herself.
Nie Zhao was in another private room because Nie Rong had been released today, and he had to act subservient.
Upon hearing that his wife was coming, he naturally came out of the private room.
He's always the same, wearing the same suit, only with two or three buttons, or four buttons, and only in shades of blue, gray, and black. They've been seeing each other every day for the past month, but today, Chen Rou inexplicably felt that he seemed different from before. Upon closer inspection, she realized that Nie Zhao was smiling.
Yes, he almost never smiled in public before.
But today he was smiling as he walked over and reminded Chen Rou, "There are cameras over there."
Of course, the whole baby's one-month celebration had to be filmed and recorded.
The door to the private room was open, and Mrs. Dai walked over with a smile, personally helping Chen Rou push the stroller through the door.
In this private room were Huo Qi, Huo Sir, several big shots in the police force who were on good terms with Nie Zhao, as well as the doctor, director and dean of the Hong Kong Sanatorium & Hospital who had helped Chen Rou give birth. To everyone else, it was extremely strange that Master Er and Master Dong could sit at the same table, but they were sitting together with an empty seat between them.
Of course, the two of them weren't actually chatting; instead, they were sitting on opposite sides, talking to everyone.
But as they saw the stroller go around the screen, the two couldn't help but exchange a glance: "They're here."
When Chen Rou pushed the baby over, even Chen Rou was surprised because Master Dong took out a red envelope and then took it back, saying, "Divide the east and west sides, the east is the larger one, you go first."
Master Er smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words." He turned his head, took a deep breath, and deliberately avoided looking directly at the child. Of course, he was also prepared to welcome a lovely little child, but when Chen Rou lifted the veil, he still exclaimed in surprise.
Sky blue clothes, sky blue swaddling clothes, soft and tender little hands.
The little guy actually opened his eyes, and with a wide grin, his chubby little face and mouth revealed a smile.
There were too many people and the air was too stuffy today. Plus, there was a flu outbreak on the streets. I only wanted to take a quick look. But kids are like that. Once you see them, you can't help but want to look again and again, and you can't help but want to tease them.
But at this moment, Master Dong abandoned all manners, turned around and leaned over, asking, "Let me see?"
He added, "This chin is exactly the same as Chairman Nie's, it's like it was made from a mold."
Grandpa Er nodded, but said with a smile, "His eyes are like Arou's, but his eyebrows are like his father's."
Mr. Dong nodded deeply: "Look at that nose, it really looks like his father's."
They agreed to only take a look, but the two of them, one on each side, grabbed the stroller and, without any instruction, started teasing it.
Leaving aside others, Huo Qi was the first to be puzzled. After finally getting them to let go, he came over to give them red envelopes and whispered in Chen Rou's ear, "The henchmen of the two gangs are still fighting to the death, but look at them, they've become old friends."
Indeed, Chen Rou was prepared to make a big splash today, but at least on the surface, Master Er and Master Dong started chatting directly, so her work naturally couldn't proceed.
However, not only everyone else, but the two of them must have felt quite awkward as well. So as soon as the child left, they looked at each other and, as if they had seen a ghost, quickly turned their heads away. To cover up their embarrassment, they both picked up their teacups and drank water.
And then, just as I glanced to the side, I saw the other person stealing glances at me... How embarrassing!
After receiving a large pile of heavy red envelopes, Chen Rou came out of the private room and asked Nie Zhao, "Do you know what's going on between them?"
Nie Zhao's decision to have the two old men name the baby was, of course, meaningful.
He nodded and said, "I know."
Chen Rou naturally asked, "You really made up? When did that happen, and why?"
Nie Zhao said, "I also have a question for you, and you must answer it truthfully. If you are willing to answer, I will tell you about how Master Er and Master Dong made up."
At this moment, Chen Rou didn't know what Nie Zhao was going to ask, so she just casually agreed.
The other private room was full of women: wives from various families, several of Nie Han's friends, and Li Xia was also there.
She was naturally very uneasy, after all, even if the Bao family went bankrupt, they would still have 500 million, while she was just an ordinary person.
But of all the people, she had seen Xiao Ayuan the most; whenever she had time, they could meet.
Next, the little guy will go to see his grandfather and accompany him to entertain guests.
Nie Zhao and Nie Rong are father and son, but also enemies. However, he is having a headache today because Nie Rong not only called Liang Lisheng to help him smooth things over, but also called several famous old knights and members of parliament in Hong Kong.
Everyone came to congratulate Nie on the birth of her grandson, but they also subtly advised Nie Zhao to be a filial son.
The implication is that the old man has had enough of being locked up and wants to get out.
Chen Rou looked at Nie Zhao and asked in a low voice, "What are the old man's thoughts? Does he still want to go back to Repulse Bay?"
Nie Zhao said, "I also wanted to, I even wanted to send him to the mainland, but he wanted to go to the top of the mountain."
This is yet another paradox. Nie Rong loved Nie Yao so much, and Nie Zhao wanted to send him to reunite with his beloved son, but he refused. So Nie Zhao then suggested that he return to Repulse Bay and live a peaceful life on his own, but he still refused.
He used to be the most indifferent to Nie Zhao, but now that he's sure of himself, he's going to live with Nie Zhao.
They are truly not only father and son, but also a pair of sworn enemies!
Chen Rou said, "I think I can guess what he's thinking. I'll talk to him."
