"No." Qi Mu refused coldly.
He was not interested in the daughter of the Shen family.
Xie Ze was not disappointed. Qi Mu's refusal was within his expectations. "If you don't attend Shen Changan's birthday party, then you can have a meal with me, right?"
"It just so happens that the private room I booked is also in Changxiang Pavilion. I know you haven't eaten yet. Let's go. I'll treat you to dinner."
After saying that, Xie Ze stared at Qi Mu eagerly.
Qi Mu raised his hand and looked at the time.
It’s not even eight o’clock yet, so it’s not too late.
Qi Mu is more patient with Xie Ze than with others, as this friend he grew up with.
Xie Ze helped him a lot when he had the car accident, and he has been helping him investigate that girl over the years.
The relationship between them is no longer just "brothers".
"Okay." Qi Mu agreed.
Xie Ze immediately smiled and pulled Qi Mu out without saying anything.
At the same time, Hua Chang's car stopped steadily at the door of Changxiang Pavilion.
She entered Changxiang Pavilion and looked for the box number Shen Changmin gave her in order.
At this time, in the Shen family's box.
The five members of the Shen family have arrived.
Shen Changan looked at the only empty chair in the box and raised his eyes to the clock hanging on the wall.
"Brother, are you sure Shang Shang really agreed to attend my birthday party?" Shen Changan couldn't help but said, "Is she kidding us?"
Just as Shen Changmin was about to speak up for Hua Shang, there was a knock on the door outside the box.
“Knock knock knock!”
Just as they were about to get up, Chen Zhexing had already opened the door of the box.
He looked at Hua Shang outside the door.
"You are Sister Hua Shang, right?" Chen Zhexing smiled sweetly at Hua Shang: "My elder brother and second brother are still worried that you won't come."
What he meant was that Hua Chang was acting like a big shot and was deliberately late, making them wait.
Hua Chang guessed that the innocent-looking woman in front of her was most likely Shen Zhexing, the adopted daughter adopted by the Shen family after her disappearance.
Seeing through Chen Zhexing's trick, Hua Chang did not expose it: "There was a little traffic jam on the road, so I was a little late."
"It's okay, come in."
Chen Zhexing took Hua Shang's arm in a familiar manner and took her into the box.
She has the social demeanor of a rich daughter of the Shen family.
It seemed as if Hua Chang was the outsider.
Hua Chang did not reject it and allowed Chen Zhexing to do what he wanted.
As soon as she entered, her eyes met with Mr. Shen who was sitting in the main seat.
Mr. Shen has a kind face and his deep eyes seem to be able to see through everything.
Hua Chang's heart suddenly shook.
Although these eyes bear the vicissitudes of time, they have an indescribable sense of familiarity.
It was as if she had looked into these eyes countless times long, long ago.
Hua Chang's heart beat faster involuntarily, and she felt an inexplicable closeness to Mr. Shen.
Is this what it feels like to be connected by blood?
A faint smile appeared on Mr. Shen's lips, and he nodded at Hua Shang.
"Girl, come and sit here with me." Old Master Shen patted the empty seat next to him, his eyes full of kindness.
The moment he saw Hua Chang, Mr. Shen felt a sense of joy as if he had regained something he had lost.
The child looks exactly like her mother.
Even more beautiful than her mother.
Hua Chang nodded, obeyed Mr. Shen's wishes, and sat next to him.
Old Master Shen took her hand and gently patted the back of Hua Shang's hand.
Hua Chang lowered her eyes slightly, and her emotions spread in this silent physical contact.
"Hua Shang, we've been looking for you for a long time." Old Master Shen spoke softly, his voice trembling. "For so many years, we never gave up looking for you. It's our fault that we lost you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire box suddenly became sad and solemn.
Feeling that Mr. Shen missed her, Hua Chang felt a little sour in the tip of her nose and a trace of warmth flowed through her heart, but she didn't know how to respond.
This family affection has been absent for many years. Although he has longed for it many times, he still feels a little at a loss when he really faces it now.
She opened her lips and said dryly, "I'm back and I won't leave you again."
"Okay, okay!" Old Master Shen blinked and held back his tears: "You have suffered a lot outside these years. When you come home, your three brothers and I will make it up to you."
Hua Chang nodded slightly and put on a gentle smile.
The sad atmosphere suddenly became warm.
Shen Changmin said at the right time: "I don't need to say more about Shang Shang's identity."
After a pause, Shen Changmin looked at Shen Changan and said, "Shangshang, this is your second brother, Shen Changan. He has made a name for himself in the entertainment industry and opened his own media company. He is also the birthday boy today."
After introducing Shen Changan, Shen Changmin began to introduce Shen Changliang: "This is your third brother, Shen Changliang, a well-known gold medal lawyer in the country, with a law firm under his name."
After introducing the two, Shen Changmin's gaze fell on Shen Zhexing, and he hesitated to speak.
Chen Zhexing took the initiative to stand up and introduced herself: "Sister, I am the adopted daughter of the Shen family, Chen Zhexing. I have often heard grandpa and brothers mention you before. I am also very happy to find you back."
"Don't worry, sister. I will make it up to you with grandpa and my brothers in the future. If there is anything you don't understand, I will answer it for you at any time."
Chen Zhexing smiled brilliantly, and the beautiful words he said were impeccable.
Hua Shang gently nodded her chin, her voice cold and ethereal: "Okay, nice to meet you."
As she spoke, Hua Chang took out an exquisite gift box and handed it to Shen Changan: “I don’t know what you like, this is a little gift from me.”
Shen Changan’s eyes lit up, and he was flattered: “I still have a gift?”
Originally, he thought that Hua Chang's willingness to attend the birthday party was the biggest birthday gift for him.
Unexpectedly...
Shen Changan couldn't wait to open the gift box.
However, when he saw the watch lying quietly in the gift box, his expression froze.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Hua Chang also became complicated.
Thinking about the fact that my eldest brother had investigated Hua Chang before, he said that Hua Chang had suffered a lot and been wronged a lot outside.
It is obvious that Huachang's financial situation is definitely not ideal.
But this watch...
Shen Changan wanted to say something but stopped himself, and finally swallowed his words back: "Thank you Shang Shang, I like your gift very much."
"That's good." Hua Shang felt relieved.
This watch was a collector's edition watch that a wealthy man had forced upon her to express his gratitude after she had performed surgery on him.
It looks quite expensive and perfect for giving as a gift.
Shen Zhexing saw that Shen Changan looked unhappy, and a dark light flashed in his eyes: "Second brother, what birthday gift did Sister Huachang give you?"
As he spoke, Chen Zhexing revealed a curious expression, tilted his head, and continued to ask: "Second brother is the first person that Sister Hua Shang gave a gift to. Can you let me take a look and feast my eyes?"
