Chapter 149: Engagement Banquet - Massacre (1)
"Boss Bai, nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you..."
As soon as Shen Jinxiao came up, he held his hand, as if they were meeting for the first time.
Bai Qingfeng widened his eyes, staring at the man in front of him who he thought was already dead, in disbelief.
No one told him that Shen Jinxiao was still alive.
What shocked him the most was that this man seemed not to know him, and that he had not seen him for several years but had become the vice president of a foreign trade company.
He held the man's dry, strong hand, and the sweet past they had shared as described in Meng Shuyue's diary couldn't help but reappear in his mind. He tightened his fingers and held his hand tightly.
"Boss Shen is really extraordinary. I heard from my Xiao Qin that Boss Shen is very popular among foreign beauties. Is he reluctant to leave his little wife back home?"
Bai Qingfeng's face has always been gentle yet a bit ruffian, but his narrow and long phoenix eyes are now cold and fierce, with a hint of hostility that he himself is not aware of.
Vice President Qin, who was introducing the company, was already sweating profusely from anxiety.
He never said that Mr. Shen was popular.
He didn't understand why his boss had such an inexplicable hostility towards Boss Shen.
It was clearly him who begged them to meet.
A thought suddenly occurred to her. Could it be that because her grandfather hated Meng Shuyue, he also hated her ex-husband?
Just as the atmosphere was tense, Chu Yanyan tried to smooth things over and chatted with her former uncle for a few words to ease the atmosphere.
Bai Qingfeng then remembered the purpose of inviting Shen Jinxiao to come.
He was the first to finish a glass of wine, invited Shen Jinxiao to go to the study upstairs to discuss in detail later, and then left first to chat with other guests.
Shen Jinxiao nodded in response, wondering in his heart whether he could meet the mysterious man hiding behind the Bai family. When he turned around and was about to find a place to sit down and be quiet, Chu Yanyan called him.
"Uncle, you still remember me, right?"
Chu Yanyan asked him tentatively. After all, she had no animosity towards this former uncle. The only thing she disagreed with was that he had married Meng Shuyue.
At this time, she had already broken off with the Song family, and the only thing she was worried about now was the son she gave birth to and left in the Song family.
I wonder what that child looks like now.
During these days since she came back, she has been asking Brother Wu to find out the whereabouts of the child.
Brother Wu, however, kept avoiding the topic, which made her feel uneasy.
But she didn't dare to touch those sad things in the past personally, let alone face the child, so she never retaliated against the Song family, nor did she take the initiative to contact them.
Now, facing the only person she never hated, she couldn't help but ask for clarification.
Seeing Shen Jinxiao nodded to show that he recognized her.
Chu Yanyan suppressed her inexplicable fear of Shen Jinxiao, signaled him to come to the corner with her eyes, and finally bit her lip and asked the question she had always wanted to ask.
"Uncle, where did the Song family move to now? Will the little kid be able to adapt if he goes with them? Has he thought of me over the years?"
She asked three questions in a row.
The suppressed thoughts over the years poured out like a flood.
She thought she owed no one anything, except for the child she abandoned when he was just one month old.
Chu's father, Chu's mother and Bai Qingfeng never mentioned this child, as if this child was their shame and a thorn between them.
They didn't mention it, and she didn't dare to mention it.
But the moment she asked the question, she felt so sad that she wanted to cry.
A woman's innate maternal love makes her eager to know news about her child.
She thought that perhaps she should break this barrier. Now that she had returned here and was engaged to Bai Qingfeng, she should take the child back and keep him by her side.
Chu Yanyan has made up her mind that after today, she will go to pick up her child.
The grudges with the Song family were written off for the sake of their raising the child.
Who knew that Shen Jinxiao's next words would be like a bolt from the blue, directly striking her in a daze, and it was as if someone had poured countless basins of cold water on her head, making her feel cold all over.
"Where are the children in the Song family?"
"I've been back for so long, and I've never seen my sister and her family have children."
Shen Jinxiao didn't notice Chu Yanyan's ugly expression at all. He turned around and sat in the corner, playing with the glass in his hand indifferently.
From time to time, a woman wanted to approach him and strike up a conversation, but was frightened by Shen Jinxiao's aura of keeping people at a distance and retreated back.
Chu Yanyan froze in place, only then coming back to her senses from her fear and confusion.
If her little kid isn't at the Song family, then where could he be?
Could it be that such a young child was thrown away by the Song family?
Based on her understanding of the Song family, they would never abandon a living being.
Chu Yanyan left the banquet hall quietly in a daze.
Brother Wu had just witnessed her being humble and obedient when talking to Shen Jinxiao. Jealousy was welling up in his eyes. After drinking the glass of wine in his hand, he hurriedly followed her out.
In the back garden.
Chu Yanyan stood behind the rockery. Seeing Wu Ge following her, she slapped him hard as he approached her. She was furious and said, "Why didn't you tell me about the child? Where is my child? Tell me where he is, where is he?"
She roared in a low voice and punched Brother Wu like crazy.
Brother Wu clamped her hands and held her in his arms, but he was unable to calm her anger. She struggled and bit his shoulder.
In pain, Brother Wu closed his eyes and let her bite his shoulder until it bled. After she had vented her anger, he let out a long sigh and told her the whole truth.
"That child named Xiao Douding died three months after you left. I didn't know exactly how he died after checking..."
Before she could finish her words, Chu Yanyan's whole body went limp and she fainted...
Ten minutes later.
Brother Wu and Chu Yanyan returned to the banquet hall together, but unexpectedly ran into some familiar faces.
Meng Shuyue was like a lingering ghost, and was walking past the banquet hall towards the study upstairs with Song Shijing and Song Shixuan, who were like his bodyguards, under the guidance of the butler.
As soon as she saw these three people, Chu Yanyan's anger suddenly surged.
She stared at the three men, wishing she could tear them into pieces.
Why are Meng Shuyue's three children all alive, but she only has one child? The Song family is so unacceptable and wants to kill such a young baby. She will never let them go!
Chu Yanyan curled her lips and sneered. Since they were going to embarrass themselves at the banquet, she would let them have their fill!
She led Brother Wu forward slowly, blocking Meng Shuyue's way with a cold look in her eyes. She raised her eyebrows and looked at the three people with a mocking look, and said provocatively: "You three are not going to steal the limelight at my engagement party, are you?"
As she spoke, Chu Yanyan took a step forward. The sinister smile on her face magnified in the eyes of the three people. She lowered her voice so that only the three of them could hear and threatened, "I know why you came here today. Do you want that liver? Let me tell you, I found someone to threaten the donor's family and not let them donate!"
"If you want Song Shiyu to live, then you have to think about how to please me, unless he has no other way but death!"
Song Shixuan clenched his fists and glared at her, "Shi Yu was your brother for several years, and you're just going to watch him die?"
