"Ah, how are the banquet preparations going?"
The teacher pushed open the door and walked in. Shi Ran asked while drinking a drink.
I don’t know why, but my grandfather started holding banquets again, and invited most of his partners.
"It's going smoothly..."
"Do you have any invitations left? I have someone I want to invite."
"If it's the second young master of the Song family, there's no need to invite him, Miss. The master has already sent the invitation."
"It's not Song Sichen."
"Ah!" A look of surprise crossed the teacher's usually calm face. "Then... who is it?"
"Please invite a woman named Fang Lili. If I'm not mistaken, she should be from my uncle's family."
Fang Lili.
She is my uncle's remarriage partner.
So, this time, let’s give it a try.
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
The teacher didn't ask any more questions.
The banquet was held grandly.
You must bring an invitation to enter, and subtle relationships will be formed between those who successfully enter the banquet hall, making the atmosphere of the banquet particularly harmonious.
Everyone gathered together.
Shi Ran asked the teacher to prepare diamonds as gifts, especially a big one, which was made into a ring and given to Mrs. Fu, as an apology for hiding the fact that her father was ill from the old lady.
No one knew that the person behind the teacher was Shi Ran.
She came to Mrs. Fu with the diamond.
"Aunt, this is a gift from my father as an apology for concealing his illness last time. Aunt, you must accept it, otherwise dad will not complete his mission and will have no explanation!"
Madam Fu had a serious expression on her face, looking like an old lady who was not easy to talk to. She took the box from Shi Ran's hand, opened it, and saw the ring inside. Her eyes narrowed slightly, but she did not seem to show any joy.
"You think I'll forget what happened before just for this little favor? The most important thing in cooperation is trust. If you do this again next time, I'll blacklist you permanently."
"Thanks!"
Shi Ran breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Madam Fu was a principled person. Otherwise, all these years would have been in vain.
When I turned around, I saw my grandfather coming to the teacher.
"I've been around you for so long, but I didn't expect you to be so capable. I heard that the mine is in your hands, and you've mined a lot of diamonds and made a lot of money."
"Master, I have been raised under your grace since I was a child. This is just a coincidence. If there is anything you need, please let me know."
The teacher spoke in a polite tone.
Hearing this, Grandpa smiled with satisfaction, patted the teacher on the shoulder and said, "Thank goodness you won the mine."
“I was lucky enough to win the bid by a narrow margin.”
With an advantage of ten thousand, the teacher still felt happy when he thought of the distorted faces of the Song family.
"Yes, it's just luck."
Grandpa looked at my uncle with disapproval.
Grandpa was not with Shi Ran's family. Instead, he greeted everyone warmly from a distance and clicked his tongue at their noisy appearance.
"dad!"
After my aunt scolded me softly, although she attracted attention, a bitter look still remained on her face.
Although my uncle apologized and said that it was a mistake not to win the bid for the mine, my grandfather could not get rid of the reluctance in his heart.
"He can't even handle the smallest things. I didn't agree to get married in the first place. If he hadn't agreed to marry into my family, I wouldn't have let him set foot in the house."
"Dad, you're already married, stop talking about this."
Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.
My uncle was suddenly surrounded by people and was talking loudly. At some point, he walked out from the group with a glass of wine in one hand.
"I heard there's a place over there where we can sit and drink. Let's go together, Dad."
His shameless look still made his grandfather unhappy.
In any case, grandpa seemed to love his daughter very much, so he always turned a blind eye to my uncle.
"Please take a seat. I'll bring you a glass of wine right away."
When the seat was moved away, my uncle was still making loud noises.
When he walked over with a glass of red wine, he suddenly stopped and fell silent in an instant.
Ever since Shi Ran arrived at the banquet, she deliberately said nothing. She just stayed quietly in the corner and observed her uncle's every move, especially his sudden change just now, which Shi Ran saw.
I saw that my uncle's attention seemed to be attracted by Fang Lili in the distance, and there was a hint of panic on his face.
It seemed that when he saw her, he was frightened and stopped.
"Um?"
When my aunt saw my uncle stop, she came over to him and touched his arm.
His uncle's face was slightly pale, which made Shi Ran frown and stare at him without blinking.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Auntie asked worriedly.
"No...I think I saw someone I know."
As soon as my uncle spoke, my aunt smiled.
"There's someone here you don't know. That's even stranger, right? Who is it?"
"No... maybe I saw it wrong."
My uncle wanted to return to his seat as quickly as possible, but my aunt was already looking around, and then pointed at Fang Lili accurately and said.
"Excuse me, is that the woman?"
Because at the entire banquet, this was the only woman my aunt didn't know.
"Ah, that..."
My uncle seemed to be still thinking about how to explain. After Fang Lili noticed her aunt and uncle, she started walking towards them with a smile.
She was an ordinary-looking woman who didn't seem to attract any special attention, but Shi Ran did not let her guard down.
She greeted her aunt calmly.
