Then, Shi Ran watched Song Sichen turn around and look towards where Mrs. Song was.
"This is Mrs. Song's method of maintaining influence in the social circle, connecting the right people with each other, and building relationships through both families."
Shi Ran had to admit that this method was obviously effective.
"But don't worry too much. No matter how much Mrs. Song wants to, she won't reach out to you. Don't worry."
Shi Ran needs to be careful for a while and not meet him.
Mrs. Song is not someone who gives up easily. If she is unlucky and meets him alone at another banquet, who knows what she will say.
"Don't go to the banquet for now...Song Sichen..."
Song Sichen felt a little strange, and the expression on his face was even colder than usual.
Shi Ran patted Song Sichen's shoulder gently.
"Don't worry too much. Song Yanzhe doesn't have a marriage partner yet, so he won't consider you getting married first."
"Shi Ran!"
Song Sichen called her name and pulled down Shi Ran's hand that was on his shoulder.
Song Sichen held Shi Ran's hand.
She could feel the calluses on Song Sichen's hands.
When he left four years ago, it seemed that he still didn't have this. It seems that he has really experienced a lot in these four years.
"What's wrong?"
"If Mrs. Song says something like that again, tell me then."
ah!
Only then did Shi Ran understand that the cold expression on his face just now was not because he was worried about her, but because he was worried about her.
Shi Ran tried hard to suppress his laughter and asked back.
"Tell you, how can you help me?"
"Tell me anyway."
Song Sichen is sincere. If Shi Ran asks Song Sichen for help, he will do his best to help Shi Ran.
"When did you grow so big?"
When I think about it, it has been eight years since we met.
Shi Ran instantly raised the hand that Song Sichen was holding, and tried to stroke Song Sichen's head as usual, but he retracted it.
Normally it was fine, he even lowered his head yesterday, but this time he dodged.
Before Shi Ran asked him why he was hiding, Song Sichen held her hand again, and their eyes met in the air.
Now that she has grown up, her beauty without a trace of a smile is in full view.
For some reason, Shi Ran's heart beat at a different frequency.
At this time, an angry voice summoned Shi Ran.
"Shi Ran!"
"grandfather!"
Grandpa Shi Ran looked very angry, as if there were flames in his eyes.
"I just heard something. Mrs. Song said some nonsense to you."
He probably rushed here after hearing the message from someone while chatting somewhere else.
"It's okay. I can still get away with it. I won't suffer any loss."
"That's what makes me my granddaughter."
Immediately afterwards, Grandpa's gaze fell on Song Sichen's hand holding Shi Ran's.
"Song Sichen."
Grandpa called Song Sichen in a low voice.
"What are those hands doing?"
Before grandpa could misunderstand, Shi Ran quickly answered.
"nothing."
"Nothing, then why don't you put it down?"
Song Sichen glanced at Shi Ran and let go of Shi Ran's hand.
Just like that, Grandpa and Song Sichen didn't say anything and just stared at each other.
Is there a conflict between the two people?
Song Sichen couldn't have any bad thoughts about Shi Ran.
Although it was short, after a fierce eye contact, grandpa said in an angry voice.
"I have something to say to my precious granddaughter. If Song Sichen is okay, please go home."
This is clearly an order to expel guests.
Of course, this is the Shi family's residence, and Song Sichen is a guest.
The only person who could speak like this was Shi Ran’s grandfather.
"You like sweets, that shouldn't have changed. Go over there." Shi Ran pointed to the table with the cake, "There's cake over there."
"Um."
Song Sichen finally bowed silently to his grandfather, then walked in the direction Shi Ran was talking.
Grandpa was always dissatisfied with Song Sichen's back, so he took Shi Ran to a quiet terrace nearby.
The thick and long tents here allow for easy conversation.
After a while, the waiter at the banquet hall brought two glasses of red wine and a red wine bottle.
Grandpa raised his glass and handed it to Shi Ran, saying, "Now Shi Ran, you are an adult, you can have a drink with this grandfather."
Grandpa might have been deeply touched and smiled deeply.
Shi Ran picked up the glass of wine gratefully and smelled the fragrance, but the rich aroma was unusual, and he inadvertently confirmed the red wine bottle.
"The red wine has a rich flavor and a long aftertaste. It must be delicious."
"We Shi Ran know a lot about wine."
"As the book says, fragrant wine must taste good."
Hearing Shi Ran's answer, Grandpa looked at her with a smile through his slightly narrowed eyes.
Shi Ran playfully stuck out her tongue and gently touched her grandfather's glass with the red wine glass in her hand. The crisp sound of the wine echoed through the quiet night sky on the terrace.
"cheers!"
Shi Ran secretly looked at her grandfather's expression and took a sip of red wine.
Sure enough, it tastes good.
"I haven't given you a birthday present yet. Is there anything you want?"
The light from the banquet hall cast a deep shadow on Grandpa's face.
"Just tell me what you want. It's your coming-of-age ceremony. Grandpa will give you whatever you want."
I don't say that casually.
My grandfather is the head of the richest family, the Shi family.
He really has the ability to get back everything Shi Ran wants.
However, Shi Ran didn't want those material things.
"Grandpa, I do have an idea. If it's a birthday gift, that would be perfect."
