There was a cunning light in Shen Mingzhu's eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly when she looked at him.
Ji Ci was both angry and amused at the same time, but he was about to open his mouth to speak.
"Excuse me." A man looked at the two people blocking the road with an apologetic look.
Shen Mingzhu quickly distanced herself from Ji Ci.
"It's over. Someone saw us. How could I, with my pig brain, forget that Ji Ci is now Chen Yuan's prospective fiancé and has nothing to do with me. If he is misunderstood, Ji Ci will probably be unhappy."
This sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, and Ji Ci calmed down instantly.
Yes, he shouldn't be so close to Shen Mingzhu. After all, this is a public place, and it is best to keep a distance from her.
Thinking of this, Ji Ci left without looking back.
In addition to avoiding suspicion, Ji Ci also had reasons why he had to leave.
That is, every time he saw Shen Mingzhu, he would find that his thoughts were always easily moved by her.
This is not a good thing.
He absolutely cannot be affected by emotions.
After Ji Ci left, Shen Mingzhu was left alone in confusion.
"Did I say something wrong just now? Why did he just leave without even looking back or saying hello..."
Ji Ci was really inexplicable. One second the atmosphere seemed relaxed and fun-filled, but the next second he became extremely cold.
Shen Mingzhu even suspected that Ji Ci was suffering from schizophrenia. How could a normal person's emotions change so drastically in an instant?
Shen Mingzhu couldn't figure this out and decided not to care about it. Anyway, she had nothing to do with Ji Ci now, and what happened to Ji Ci had nothing to do with her.
Back in the banquet hall, most of the guests were gathered and the banquet was about to begin.
Shen Zejing spotted Shen Mingzhu at a glance and asked the servant behind him to call Shen Mingzhu to the middle.
When the banquet begins, of course the protagonist should be brought to the center to give an opening speech.
It’s just that Shen Zejing sent people to look for Shen Yuan, but there is still no news.
Shen Mingzhu lifted her skirt and walked step by step to Shen Zejing, with a generous smile on her face.
But, my heart doesn’t think so.
"Hehehe, the good show is about to begin. I wonder if everything Shen Yuan has carefully planned can satisfy the other members of the Shen family?"
Shen Zejing, who heard this, was still talking to others. He paused and continued.
Shen Mingzhu's thoughts were always inexplicable, so Shen Zejing was used to it.
However, five minutes had passed since the event officially started, and the servant who went to look for Chen Yuan had not returned yet.
Shen Zeqing and Shen Zeshuo had just come down, and they thought the person standing next to Shen Zejing was Shen Yuan, so they went straight to the center of the banquet hall.
Seeing the two people coming over, Shen Zejing finally felt something was wrong.
"Where's Yuanyuan? Didn't you see her?"
When Shen Mingzhu turned around, the two realized that they had made a mistake.
Shen Zeshuo muttered, "We just came out, how could we possibly know where Yuanyuan is? But you, big brother, have been standing here with Shen Mingzhu. Don't you care at all whether Yuanyuan is present or not?"
Shen Zejing didn't want to talk after being asked, but he still had to speak, "I have been receiving guests all day. Can Shen Yuan, who is so old, have an accident in his own home?"
"Instead of questioning me, why not go find out if she's been tripped up by something?"
Shen Zeqing said nothing, and walked towards the place that Shen Yuan usually liked.
Upon seeing this, Shen Zeshuo looked in a different direction from Shen Zeqing.
"I shouldn't have to do anything. After all, Shen Yuan has already made arrangements."
Sure enough, as soon as Shen Mingzhu stopped talking, someone pointed a camera at Shen Zejing.
"Boss Shen, sorry to bother you. I remember today is the birthday party for the two young ladies of the Shen family, but we have been waiting for so long, why is there only one young lady of the Shen family standing next to you, where is the other one?"
Shen Zejing's eyebrows sank, "I don't remember inviting the media, how did you get in?"
This year, because both parents were away, Shen Zejing didn’t want to make it too big and didn’t invite the media at all.
After all, there are always omissions in the preparation of a birthday party, and once caught by the media, it will be difficult to control it afterwards. He does not have much energy to control it alone, so the best way is to eliminate this uncontrollable factor.
But facing Shen Zejing's questioning, this media showed no fear at all.
“Mr. Shen, you really love to joke. We have a formal invitation, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to come in.”
As he said this, the media actually held the invitation letter in his hand and handed it to Shen Zejing for inspection.
And as soon as the invitation came out, Shen Zejing understood.
They were indeed invited by the Shen family, but it was not them who sent the invitation, but Shen Yuan.
If it was Shen Yuan who invited him, Shen Zejing wouldn't be able to say much in front of the camera. He couldn't deny it and slap Shen Yuan in the face, right?
Shen Zeqing and Shen Zeshuo went and came back, and Ji Yuan appeared behind them.
However, the two brothers had already tacitly accepted the rules when Shen Zeshuo decided to enter the entertainment industry.
That is, they must not reveal the relationship between their faces and the Shen family.
Therefore, whenever there are outsiders present, they basically keep themselves covered tightly.
"Brother, we basically can't find it even after searching everywhere."
Ji Yuan avoided her eyes, especially when she saw Shen Mingzhu standing here unharmed, she felt even more uneasy.
She had just been away for a short while, but when she came back she couldn't find Chen Yuan.
At first, she just thought that Shen Yuan went to check on Shen Mingzhu's situation, but when she found out that Shen Zeshuo and the others were also looking for Shen Yuan, she had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Did you call her?"
Shen Zeshuo and Shen Zeqing looked at each other. Why didn't they think of calling Shen Yuan?
“Hahahahahaha, both of you brothers are guilty. Are you guys trying to find someone like you’re playing hide-and-seek?”
Shen Zeshuo glared at Shen Mingzhu fiercely, but unfortunately he forgot that he was wearing sunglasses, so Shen Mingzhu couldn't see his eyes at all.
However, in such a large house and with many guests whispering, the probability of the phone ringing being heard was not high.
Fortunately, at this moment, some sneaky figure quietly turned on the projection equipment in the banquet hall.
So, the moment the curtain lit up, the whole place was silent, and the disgusting side of the utility room was completely exposed to everyone.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is a very thorough preparation! I don't even need to do anything!"
The disheveled Shen Yuan was pinned down by a man. She struggled hard but to little avail.
When Shen Zeshuo saw clearly that the person above was Shen Yuan, he immediately rushed over to shut down the equipment.
Shen Zeqing recognized that the background of the picture was the utility room, and rushed to rescue Shen Yuan.
There was an uproar at the scene. Although the scene did not last long, almost everyone could see Shen Yuan's face clearly.
As a veteran in the entertainment industry, Shen Zeshuo is not weak in crisis public relations.
He picked up the microphone and spoke after making sure his voice was normal.
