When Ji Heng washed up, changed his clothes and came down again, he didn't expect Ye Lan to still be sitting there in her previous clothes. She walked over to the main sofa and sat down, "Why are you still sitting here? Why don't you go upstairs to change clothes?"
Ye Lan raised her eyes and glanced at him, her face expressionless, as if she was still sulking. She only said, "I won't go to the dinner with the Shen family. I'm not feeling well."
Ji Heng frowned, feeling quite helpless. "Are you angry with me because of Qianya? Can't you talk about it after dinner?"
Ye Lan's eyes flickered slightly, and she turned her head away from him, saying in a muffled voice, "No, I just have a headache. Isn't Jing Chen going with you?"
"How can this be the same? This is such a big matter between the two families. As the mistress of the Ji family and Xiaoshu's mother, if you don't go, how will the Shen family view us when the time comes?" Ji Heng was indeed irritated by Ye Lan. He said coldly, "When did you become as willful as a child?"
Ye Lan was already in a bad mood because of Ji Qianya's matter. Moreover, her husband and son did not listen to her and scolded her. She had been holding a lot of anger for a long time. But when she heard the last sentence that Ji Heng said, she was completely detonated.
"What do you mean, I'm willful?"
Ji Heng was too lazy to argue with her. He raised his hand and looked at the time. "Okay, if you don't want to go, then don't go."
Just as he finished speaking, Ji Jingchen's voice suddenly came to his ears, "Dad, Mom, Xiaoshu and I are fine now. We can leave."
Upon hearing this, Ji Jingchen and Ye Lan turned their heads to look, but when their eyes fell on Li Shu who was following behind Ji Jingchen, they were slightly stunned.
The girl was wearing a black evening gown with a fitted waist, which made her skin look as white as snow. Her face was not made up, and not even the slightest hair could be seen. There was no flaw at all, as if she were made of the finest white jade.
Her long black hair like seaweed was loosely tied up, with two slightly curly strands hanging down. Her delicate and beautiful eyebrows revealed a bit of coldness and aloofness, and she looked elegant and noble.
Ye Lan came back to her senses and her expression became a little complicated. You know, Li Shu usually dressed very simply, with a simple casual jacket and jeans. Unexpectedly, after changing her clothes and hairstyle, she really looked like a princess. Even Ji Qianya, who was dressed up, would be completely outshined when standing next to her.
Ji Heng stood up and ignored Ye Lan, saying, "Let's go."
Ji Jingchen nodded slightly, and when he saw Ye Lan still sitting on the sofa without moving, he frowned slightly and asked, "Mom, you're not going?"
Ye Lan pulled up the corners of her mouth and smiled, "I'm not feeling well, so I won't go. You can just take good care of Xiaoshu for me when the time comes."
Ji Jingchen's eyes flickered slightly. He could guess that the reason why Ye Lan was ill and couldn't leave was probably because of Ji Qianya, but he didn't say much. He said calmly, "Yeah, I know."
After saying hello to Ye Lan, he and Li Shu followed Ji Heng out of the living room.
…
Half an hour later, we arrived at the most luxurious six-star hotel in Beijing.
When the three of them arrived at the VIP box, Shen's parents had already arrived, but Shen Yu, the male protagonist of the night, had not yet appeared.
"Oh, this is Xiaoshu!"
When Shen's mother, Xia Ningwei, saw the last girl who walked in, her eyes lit up, and she stood up and greeted her with a smile.
Unexpectedly, the biological daughter that the Ji family found was a hundred times more beautiful than she had imagined, and she didn't look like she grew up in a slum at all.
Compared to the adopted daughter who was raised by his side since childhood and was cultivated as a rich lady, it is obvious that Li Shu in front of him looks more like a rich girl than her. It is true that some things are innate and cannot be surpassed no matter how much you cultivate them.
She had some concerns at first, but now that she saw Li Shu in person, she wanted her son to marry her right away.
Li Shu walked to Xia Ningwei and stopped, then glanced at Shen Junyan, the sitting father of Shen, and called out politely, "Uncle, hello, auntie."
Shen Junyan nodded, his expression quite gentle, "Hello."
The more Xia Ningwei looked at Li Shu, the more satisfied she became. With a smile on her face, she took her hand and walked to the round table, saying softly, "Come, sit next to Auntie."
"Okay, thank you Auntie." Li Shu's eyes moved slightly. She didn't expect that she had such a connection with the Shen family. However, she couldn't figure it out in more detail. After all, this specific body was not hers in the strict sense.
Seeing that no one else came in, Xia Ningwei looked at Ji Heng and Ji Jingchen and asked, "Why didn't Madam Ji come?"
Ji Heng took a sip of tea and explained, "She wasn't feeling well, so we let her rest at home."
He paused and looked around the huge box, "By the way, why isn't Mr. Shen here?"
Xia Ningwei picked up the phone on the table and checked the time. "It's almost time."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound of a door opening outside. Everyone looked in that direction tacitly, and even Li Shu showed some interest.
The man who pushed the door open was very tall, about 1.9 meters tall. He was wearing a black shirt with the cuffs casually rolled up, revealing his lean and strong arms. His cold white skin did not give people a feeling of weakness.
Her eyes are dark and deep, her nose is high, and there is a light-colored teardrop mole under the left corner of her eye. Her face is extremely beautiful.
"Speak of the devil and he will appear." Xia Ningwei said with a smile.
Chen Yu walked in slowly, his eyes fell on Li Shu and paused for a second, then he quickly retracted his gaze and greeted Ji Heng and Ji Jingchen.
Xia Ningwei pointed to the empty seat next to Li Shu and said, "You sit next to Xiao Shu."
Chen Yu nodded faintly, walked to the empty seat next to Li Shu and stopped, then pulled out a chair and sat down casually.
Li Shu's eyes moved slightly, and she suddenly smelled a faint, refreshing scent of pine wood after the snow lingering at her nose. She knew without thinking that it was coming from the man next door, and it smelled quite nice.
She glanced at Shen Yu who was sitting next to her from the corner of her eye. Even his profile was so perfect that there was no flaw to be found.
Chen Yu seemed to notice the girl's faint gaze and turned his head slightly to look at her. His voice was low and cold, and he said slowly, "Does it look good?"
Li Shu coughed dryly, feeling a little embarrassed. She hadn't expected him to see her. She touched the tip of her nose and commented sincerely, "It's pretty."
Shen Yu raised his eyebrows, stopped talking, leaned back in his chair, and began to play with the glass at hand.
Xia Ningwei, who was standing by, had been secretly watching the two of them. She was delighted to see them. She hadn't expected that they would start talking so quickly, and it was her son who took the initiative to speak. This was a good sign!
