"It seems there is desire."
The head of the family nodded and wiped his mouth with a napkin.
It was a bit surprising that Song Sichen suddenly changed his attitude when he heard Shi Ran's name.
I thought people like Song Sichen would always live in such an indifferent way. It's okay to have desires, no matter what they want.
On the day of celebration.
"Yes, that's it."
Shi Ran swayed her body gently in front of the mirror and smiled with satisfaction.
"Wow, Miss, you're so cute!"
"Isn't it?"
Normally, kids of Tokiran's age wouldn't like it if adults called them "cute."
But no matter what they think, in the eyes of adults, they are cute.
In order to promote the newly launched clothing, Shi Ran chose a green dress, which made her look very energetic.
“Perfect.”
Wearing a butterfly-shaped hairpin on the carefully braided braid makes the image in the mirror look even more adorable.
There is a red gem on the neck, and the red and green colors are matched, but it is not vulgar at all.
The combination of ready-made clothes from my father's clothing store and fashionable jewelry is simply the perfect party outfit.
"How is it? Does it look expensive?"
"Miss, do you know how much the jewel on your neck costs? I'm afraid no one is better dressed than you at today's banquet."
There are no more than three gems on Shi Ran’s neck in the world.
"That'll do."
To make the clothes look cheap, they are deliberately decorated to be more ornate.
"The lady today is so beautiful."
People around me couldn't help but sigh.
"It's not to that extent. Don't exaggerate. Just give appropriate praise."
She dressed like this just to draw everyone's attention to the clothes in her father's clothing store. Although business was good, it was far from enough.
Shi Ran is different from the other children in the Shi family. They always participate in various activities diligently. This is the first time that Shi Ran has left the Shi family to attend a banquet since he entered the family.
After checking in the mirror to make sure there was nothing wrong, Shi Ran left the room.
In the living room, Dad and Grandpa were drinking tea while waiting for Shi Ran.
"Grandpa, Dad, is this okay?"
When Shi Ran's voice came, the two of them raised their heads at the same time.
Shi Ran smiled and turned around in front of the two people.
When Dad saw Shi Ran, he covered his mouth.
The grandfather sitting next to him frowned.
The frown lines were deep and unusual in any way.
Shi Ran suddenly felt uneasy.
"Dad? Grandpa?"
She called out cautiously.
"Shi Ran..."
Dad ran over and hugged Shi Ran.
His face looked like he was about to cry, but also like he was about to laugh.
"My daughter is so beautiful."
This is not Shi Ran's illusion.
"When did you grow so big?"
There was indeed moisture in Dad's voice.
Shi Ran looked into her father's eyes. From the line of sight lingering on the outline of her face, she could feel that her father seemed to see her mother's face in her face.
Although Shi Ran couldn't remember it, to his father, it was like a memory from yesterday, a vivid face.
"If this is the case now, it will be unimaginable at the coming-of-age ceremony."
Grandpa walked over with his hands behind his back and looked at Dad and said jokingly.
"At the banquet today, next to Grandpa."
"Okay, Grandpa."
"If strange guys come up to you and talk to you, just ignore them."
"OK."
I nodded my head out of habit, but it always felt a bit strange.
"Even so, if someone bothers you, just kick them away and leave the cleanup to Grandpa."
There were also whispers.
"Dad, I heard it. How could you say such a thing?"
Shi Ran's father seemed a little dissatisfied with such words.
"Who made my granddaughter so cute?"
Shi Ran smiled. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with her outfit today.
The car arrived at the banquet venue, inside the car.
"Remember what grandpa said, if you see any annoying people, just kick them away."
"If there's any troublemaker, call dad."
Now even my father has joined in.
Fortunately, their conversation ended as the car door opened.
Grandpa got off the car first, followed by Dad.
Then Shi Ran finally got out of the car under the escort of his father.
As soon as I stepped onto the grounds, along with the cool night air, the melody of sweet music came from the banquet hall.
In fact, it was also Shi Ran's first time to attend such a grand banquet.
It's a bit nervous indeed.
Shi Ran walked holding his father's hand with one hand and his grandfather's hand with the other.
That's all.
No one announced their arrival, they simply took a few steps toward the ballroom. But with each step they took, something changed.
One by one, they looked back at them as if they had heard some gossip.
When they arrived at the door of the banquet hall, everyone's eyes were focused on them.
The Shi family is still the richest family in Nanhu.
There was silence in the banquet hall, and one could almost hear someone muttering.
But it's strange.
Despite so many people watching them, only a few actually approached.
Grandpa seemed to be accustomed to this situation, and even looked around at everyone with a relaxed expression. Those who looked at him avoided his eyes or lowered their heads.
Their reaction was as if they had encountered a wild animal.
