Chapter 387 This name originally belonged to Jiang Wanrou
Chu Junyue's tall and straight figure can be described as golden proportions.
The trousers wrapped around two straight long legs, and the brand new military uniform made him look handsome and dazzling, exuding a strong aura among the crowd.
If Qin Si's facial features are deeply contoured, his eyes are more like those of a wild beast, sharp and full of danger.
Chu Junyue, on the other hand, was more heroic, with a pair of eyes that carried a natural sense of majesty. During the few seconds when they stared at each other, the man's military boots on the ground were so shiny that they were intimidating.
He picked up a glass of wine from the tray carried by the waiter, shook the goblet in his hand, and looked at the rosy liquid.
Chu Junyue's face was cold, but the muscles in his arm were tense as he held the wine glass in his big hand.
"What a coincidence, they are all here."
Chu Junyue walked along, declined the other guests' attempts to talk to him, and stopped in front of Qin Si at a leisurely pace.
"I sent someone to deliver the birthday gift that Zhiyue had chosen to the back hall. It took some time. It seems that I was a step late."
There was no smile on Chu Junyue's face, and his tone sounded a little deep.
He shook the tall wine glass in his hand, with no intention of drinking it, and then placed it on the table neither lightly nor heavily.
The sudden noise attracted more attention, and even Mr. Sheng looked over.
It's really strange to say, after Chu Junyue and Xian'er got engaged, he never took the initiative to accompany Xian'er to visit the elders during the holidays. During ordinary festivals, he just picked a gift at random and considered it his intention.
However, this time, he put aside his official duties and came to celebrate the birthday.
Two days before the birthday banquet, Mr. Sheng received several extremely valuable gifts. None of them were signed, but they were able to bypass the strict security measures and be delivered directly to him.
People around complimented him and said with a smile that Grandpa Sheng would soon have a smart granddaughter. Grandpa Sheng's face, which was covered with traces of time, finally showed a satisfied smile and nodded, "This is God's favor to me. My long-lost daughter finally returned home. After going through so much hardship, they finally returned to the warm harbor of the family."
These words reached the ears of the men through the crowd. Qin Si's brows moved, and a pair of even colder eyes under his thick brows fixed on Chu Junyue's face.
"The busy man is so idle, it seems that the three states are not chaotic enough."
"The territory is in chaos, it can be governed, but her heart is in chaos, and I'm afraid I'll regret it for the rest of my life." Chu Junyue curled the corners of his mouth, with an uncontrollable sharpness hidden in the corners of his eyes.
The relationship between the two is relatively harmonious, and there is no conflict of interest, so they keep to themselves.
One is as cold as ice, the other is as cold as frost. The two have some similarities in their experiences and personalities, but Chu Junyue is more humane after all.
Instead of burying some things deep in your heart, it is better to choose the most appropriate time to unveil the veil, although Chu Junyue's situation still makes him have some concerns.
But his personality dictated that when it came to things he wanted, he would either let them go completely or fight hard for them.
He called off the engagement, free of any burden, and the smile that slowly appeared on his face in front of Qin Si seemed to have a hint of satisfaction.
"When do you plan to hold your century wedding? This year or next year?" Chu Junyue asked casually.
Qin Si looked at him seriously. Everyone could see the hostility rising in the man's eyes. His gaze was like the flash of swords and sparks flying.
Mu Liansheng snapped his fingers, signaling the waiter to come over. He picked up a glass of champagne, sniffed the rich aroma in the air, looked at Qin Si, and then at Chu Junyue.
Then, her seductive lips curled up into a playful smile, "We are all family, don't let outsiders laugh at us."
"But I do have a suggestion. Since both of you want to win the beauty, why not have a real duel between men? How do you think?"
"I will be the referee. Whoever wins will get the beauty. If it's a tie..."
He had red lips and white teeth, and his smile was very friendly, but a hint of careless evil flowed out from his eyes. He raised his glass and said, "Let's share this beauty."
.......
Jiang Zhiyue still didn't know about the men's private competition.
The lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed.
Brilliant crystal chandeliers hang high in the hall, and all the lights in the room light up like bright stars, following the footsteps of one person.
The sounds of chatter and laughter around me faded away like the tide without me noticing.
Old Master Sheng was in good spirits, and was now slowly walking towards the platform. No one could stop him from saying anything, and no force could stop what was about to happen.
Countless people's eyes were watching this scene. In recent days, the Sheng family had become the target of public criticism and had been the subject of heated discussion. However, all of this came to an end with the old man's firm steps.
In the audience, some people had hatred in their eyes, while others leaned on wheelchairs, their hands covering their chests, almost in agony.
Mother Lin and Old Madam Sheng watched helplessly. Even though they were unwilling, they were powerless to stop it!
This is the best way for Mr. Sheng to prove that the Sheng family has a clear conscience, and it is also the only way for Mrs. Sheng to get rid of public criticism. They must acknowledge Jiang Wanrou's identity and give Jiang Wanrou a legitimate ceremony.
Facing the eyes of the audience, Mr. Sheng's old face showed a sincere smile at this moment. He took a long breath, held the microphone and said with a smile: "During this period, I have been old and made everyone laugh at me. Fortunately, we are all old friends, so I don't have to be restrained."
"I am the same as when I was young. I don't like to beat around the bush. Our Sheng family has always advocated openness and never hides anything. I am very happy that everyone came to celebrate my birthday today, but what makes me even happier is that I want to thank God for his favor and the blessings of my ancestors."
"I once thought I had lost my precious daughter forever and would never see her again in this life. The long 36 years were like an endless nightmare. I have spent so many sleepless nights missing her that I have already lost count."
There was silence all around, not a single sound from the audience, but one could hear the sobs in Mr. Sheng's words. Even though he was a heartless man, there was some sincerity in his words.
"The road home is too long and too hard. My daughter is living in poverty. This is all my fault as a father. I accept all the criticism and abuse against me. It is my dereliction of duty that has caused her to suffer hardships that she should not have to endure."
"I feel deeply guilty for not being able to protect her well in the past. I can't make up for the 36 years she missed, but every day from now on, I will do my best to make up for it."
"Now I want to solemnly announce to everyone that my daughter, the one I care about most in my life, the bright moon in my heart—"
"Shengyue."
The whole audience echoed this name.
This name originally belonged to Jiang Wanrou.
