Chapter 1485 Marry Me
Before Bian Zhi and the others entered, Old Master Sheng asked Sheng Tang, "The person you said beat you up last time was called Liu Shuyi?"
Sheng Tang exclaimed, "Ah!" Old Master Sheng's eyes flickered. "Is that the child that Bian Zhi raised?"
Sheng Tang nodded, scalding the cup with boiling water. "Yes, she's pretty, but she has a terrible temper. She beat me down before I could even say a few words. Whoever marries this woman in the future will suffer."
Mr. Sheng was silent for a few seconds.
He turned to ask Sheng's father, "Last time I asked you to investigate the background of this girl, what did you say later?" Shengxia was getting sleepy as she got older, so she didn't remember it very clearly at that time.
"Yes, I heard this girl has a cool temper and isn't the type to show off. Her businesses seem a bit hidden, but she has at least fifty patented technologies. She should already have over a hundred million in assets. She's highly praised by industry leaders for her academic achievements. She holds a doctorate and is a close disciple of a mentor at a prestigious foreign university. An old gentleman once said this girl's talent is comparable to that of the Big Dipper, and she's bound to achieve academic success in the future."
When Mr. Sheng heard this, his eyes lit up and he asked again, "Is his name Liu--"
Father Sheng understood what Old Master Sheng was thinking and said, "Call him Liu Shuyi."
Old Master Sheng nodded, then looked at his own idiot, sighed slightly, and asked Father Sheng, "Do you think there's a chance?"
Sheng Tang seemed to understand something, pursed his lips, and looked at Sheng's father.
Father Sheng paused for a moment. "That's... hard to say. Bian Zhi is really low-key, but I heard that Liu Shuyi respects Bian Zhi very much. If Bian Zhi asks, Liu Shuyi might not refuse."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Tang immediately responded, "Of course. After all, Liu Shuyi is also the Zhou family's adopted daughter. Shouldn't we repay their kindness in raising her? Our family takes care of Zhou Chenshu for them, so shouldn't they come in with one more child? Besides, I'm a noble son from a wealthy family. Isn't that more than enough for Liu Shuyi?"
After hearing this, Mr. Sheng nodded and asked Sheng Tang, "So, you are interested too?"
Sheng Tang was naturally interested, but it was difficult to tell his family that he had pursued Liu Shuyi before, but was rejected. Now he was showing off, "Whether it means anything or not, she must promise not to use violence in the future. Otherwise, with a tigress at home, no matter how beautiful she is, I can't guarantee that she will find someone else outside in the future."
When Mr. Sheng heard this, he became angry again. "Some things should be said, and some things should not be said. Why can't you learn it? It's really a misfortune for our family."
Sheng Tang didn't know why, but he was always scolded.
Just as he was about to speak, Old Master Sheng's face turned sour. "Shut up. Since you want it and have the idea, be quick at the dinner later. Girls like attentive men. Don't put on airs. If someone really marries you like this, it would be a blessing from their ancestors."
Sheng Tang muttered dejectedly, but before he could say anything else, the door was pushed open.
Bian Zhi and his group walked in.
Shengxia also followed in.
Mr. Sheng had seen Bian Zhi for a consultation before and had great respect for him. He stood up with a smile and said, "Come on, come and sit down."
As he spoke, Grandpa Sheng gave Sheng Xia a look, which roughly meant that Sheng Xia should go to Bian Zhi and act nice, and sit next to Bian Zhi.
Shengxia also saw it. She smiled, walked up to Bianzhi, and called out obediently, "Auntie Bian."
Grandpa Sheng introduced with a smile, "This is my useless granddaughter."
Shengxia acted like a lady from a wealthy family and called out obediently, "Auntie Bian."
Bian Zhi nodded lightly, "Sit down."
Shengxia was delighted when she heard this. She took two steps forward and was about to pull out the chair next to Bianzhi when she saw Bianzhi tilt her head and wave to the person behind her. "Come, Shuyi," Bianzhi pointed at the chair Shengxia had pulled out. "Come sit here, sit next to your mother."
The word "mother" stunned everyone in the Sheng family.
Mr. Sheng reacted quickly and said that adopted children should indeed call their mother.
However, they underestimated how much Bian Zhi liked Liu Shuyi.
Did he call her mother directly in public?
Old Master Sheng smiled and pointed to the seat on the other side of Bian Zhi, "Shengxia, since you like your Aunt Bian so much, then you can sit--"
Before he finished speaking, there was a clatter as Zhou Suihuai pulled out the chair on the other side of Bian Zhi and said to Zhou Chen, "Why are you standing? Come and sit."
Zhou Chenshu went over and sat down.
Mr. Sheng: "......"
Just as Mr. Sheng was about to say that Sheng Xia should sit next to Zhou Chenshu, he heard a rustling sound. Zhou Suihuai pulled out the chair next to Zhou Chenshu and sat down slowly.
As Zhou Suihuai got older, his temper gradually worsened. He became less talkative and more protective of others. Except towards Bian Zhi and his family, no one outside could withstand his occasional rage.
This was known to the outside world. Old Master Sheng touched his nose awkwardly, wanting to say that Zhou Suihuai was sitting in the wrong place, but he couldn't say it, so he pointed to the side of Liu Shuyi and said to Sheng Xia: "Then you can sit over there, at least you'll be closer to your Aunt Bian."
Shengxia sat over reluctantly. The table was so big that there was a long distance between them with each person between them. How could they talk?
Moreover, as soon as she entered the door, Bian Zhi claimed to be Liu Shuyi's mother, calling her so affectionately that it sounded as if they were really a family, which made her very unhappy.
Everyone sat down.
Zhou Suihuai raised his hand to ask the waiter to take his order. Old Master Sheng smiled and said, "Suihuai, take a look at what you like to eat. Today, our Sheng family will be the host."
"No need," Zhou Suihuai's tone was not good. He bullied his son and daughter-in-law, so why would he be nice to them? He just heard outside that this old guy was paying attention to his daughter-in-law, but he didn't even look at his son's dog-like appearance and was not qualified to compete with his son for his daughter-in-law. "This hotel is owned by my family. You can order whatever you want. I'm treating you tonight."
Upon hearing this, Bian Zhi pursed her lips and felt like laughing.
Mr. Sheng's face turned a little grim. He exchanged glances with Sheng's father and gave a dry laugh. "Ah, really? This hotel is your family business? I thought it would become so big. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have bothered someone I know to reserve a seat for me."
Zhou Suihuai was taken over and ordered a few dishes that Bian Zhi liked. He handed the menu to Zhou Chenshu and said to him, "I ordered what your mother had. You can see what Shuyi wants."
As soon as these words came out.
The people from the Sheng family were stunned again.
My mind was in turmoil.
What's the meaning?
What dishes does Liu Shuyi eat? What does Zhou Chen like?
What is the relationship between the two?
Mr. Sheng didn't know why, but a bad thought suddenly arose in his mind.
"Haha," but he still had to put on a good front, "The family and the kids have a good relationship, which is good. It also makes the parents less worried."
"Shuyi, didn't you like the Wensi tofu here before? I ordered it. I'll also order you some squirrel fish, crab meat lion's head, Pingqiao tofu soup, and shredded chicken and bird's nest..."
Zhou Chenshu flipped through the menu quickly, wishing he could order all the delicious dishes, and he ordered more than a dozen dishes.
Old Master Sheng looked at Sheng's father again and asked in a low voice, "Are they so close?" They ordered so many dishes for this meal. Even though they were his family's property, he was willing to spend the money.
Father Sheng shook his head and whispered, "Maybe he's giving Liu Shuyi some face."
Old Master Sheng stopped talking. When the dishes were served, he gestured to Sheng Xia to go over and talk to Bian Zhi. Sheng Xia smiled and said a few words, but Bian Zhi didn't respond, which caused embarrassment.
Bian Zhi did pick up some food for Liu Shuyi several times at the table, and his words and actions were full of favoritism.
When Mr. Sheng saw this situation, he immediately frowned.
It seems that Bian Zhi treats Liu Shuyi as his own child. In that case, it might be difficult for him to marry an idiot.
Even though he thought so, he still had to do good things. Old Master Sheng opened his mouth and just said, "Bian Zhi, you raised this girl well. Is she the one you brought back from outside?"
Bian Zhi picked up another piece of food for Liu Shuyi with his chopsticks and whispered to her, "You're still so thin no matter how much you eat. You need to take good care of yourself later." Then he looked up at Old Man Sheng and smiled, "Yes, I brought you home that young back then. Isn't that funny, old man?"
Mr. Sheng: “Ah?”
Bian Zhi: "When I first brought him home, many people said that he couldn't be raised. He was in poor health and had to undergo several surgeries. It was over 20 years ago," Bian Zhi said, gesturing with a number. "The medical expenses at the time were this much."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Sheng took a deep breath and said, "So many!"
"Yes, that's all. Many people asked me why I spent so much money on treatment. You don't lack children at home, so why did you do that?" Bian Zhi smiled, turned the dish Liu Shuyi liked to her, and picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks for her. "People are destined to be together. I felt at that time that I was destined to be with this child. You don't know that over the years, I haven't put so much effort into my own children. My children are also very good, graduating from a famous foreign university with a doctorate, hey-"
Bian Zhi asked Mr. Sheng, "Where did your child graduate from?"
This question hit the old man's sore spot. He laughed dryly and said, "Sheng Tang and Chen Shu are from the same school. Haha, their grades are not very ideal."
"Ah, that's a shame," Bian Zhi shook his head. "You still need to study more. I love children who can read the most. Shengxia... that's the name, right? I heard you also graduated from graduate school?"
Shengxia was about to say yes.
Bian Zhi then took over, "Then you have to continue your studies. There's no comparison between a graduate student and a doctoral student."
The smile that had just appeared on Shengxia's face froze, "..."
"Besides," Bian Zhi turned around and said to Old Master Sheng, "My daughter is a good moneymaker. Last time, it was that piece of land in Causeway Bay. Didn't Old Master also want a villa next to it? He came to my house and asked me."
The old man remembered this incident. "Well, didn't you say that it was a piece of land given by your children? Wouldn't it be difficult for you to resell it?"
That happened a few years ago. It was a golden area, every inch of land was worth a lot of money, and the scenery and climate were great. The old man wanted to buy a small piece of land to live there for retirement in the future. As a result, when he asked, he found out that it had been bought by someone else, and the name on it was Bian Zhi.
That place was super big. Construction started right after it was bought. He had seen the construction drawings. Ten villas were built on such a large area. The mansion in the center belonged to Bian Zhi. There was one on the edge that the old man wanted, so he asked someone to ask Bian Zhi. Bian Zhi said at the time that it was a gift from his children.
A few years ago, when real estate was in short supply, how much would it cost to buy land in that place and build a luxury villa?
The old man was drooling with envy, but he couldn't say how envious he was, because he thought it was bought for her by the eldest son of the Bianzhi family. The eldest son of the Bianzhi family had the support of the Huo family, so he had the money.
result--
"Yes," Bian Zhi smiled and glanced at the people next to him, then said to Mr. Sheng, "My daughter gave it to me."
When these words were spoken, even Sheng Tang and Sheng Xia, who were drinking soup, were stunned.
"You, what did you say?" Father Sheng was no longer calm. "Liu Shuyi sent it?"
Bian Zhi smiled calmly, "Yes, the child said that the air is good there. My family is large, so we built a few more houses. Later, everyone in my family will live there for retirement. I went to see it once, and the decoration inside is very good. If you have the chance in the future, you can come to visit my house too."
This tone of praise made Mr. Sheng laugh dryly.
"That... is really amazing," Old Master Sheng was a little embarrassed to speak. The child was too promising. He himself felt it was abrupt to mention that Liu Shuyi was paired with Sheng Tang.
So he turned around and asked, "I heard that Chen Shu had an accident on the set. Is he okay now? I saw that when he just came in, his posture was a little strange."
"It's okay, kid. You're in good health and recovering quickly. You even went out to play all day today." Bian Zhi said with a smile.
"Right, my little granddaughter also loves to play. I'll call her over later. We all know each other, so we can go out and play together and have someone to look after us." Father Sheng tried his best to arrange this marriage.
Before, Sheng's father thought that Liu Shuyi was just a bonus, but now, hey, he is so happy, this is a golden cake, if Sheng Tang marries her home, then what business will the Sheng family need to run in the future, the whole family can retire, what a girl who can make money.
Bian Zhi smiled and said, "We'll talk about it when we have a chance. This boy of mine has always loved clinging to my girl since he was little. There are so many girls in the entertainment industry clinging to him, but he doesn't look down on others."
Everyone in the Sheng family: “…” They really know how to thank you!
"Come, let's eat," Bian Zhi turned to Zhou Chen and said, "Eat well, why are you grinning like an idiot?"
Zhou Chenshu said: "Oh" and laughed.
After eating for a while, the awkwardness faded a bit. Mr. Sheng wanted to speak again, but Bian Zhi had already spoken. "Last time, I heard your child came to my door and cursed. I didn't know what he was cursing about at the time, but now I remember, so I'm asking, is there something you're unhappy with about your child?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he launched an attack and began to hold the culprit accountable.
"Hey, I was just about to talk about this. The child was stupid and was talked about by outsiders. He lost his mind. Come, Shengtang, apologize to your sister Shuyi."
'Hahahaha--' Zhou Chenshu couldn't help it anymore.
Liu Shuyi glanced at the little brat and reminded him to pay attention to his meals. Zhou Chenshu was very happy and said to Sheng's father: "Uncle, Liu Shuyi is older than Sheng Tang and can't call me sister."
Father Sheng's face was embarrassed. "Then you have to apologize. Come on, Sheng Tang, go and apologize to them."
Sheng Tang walked over with the wine glass in hand. Liu Shuyi's eyes were pale, and he didn't even look up. "I'm sorry, I can't drink. My family said that drinking alcohol makes you stupid. You can do whatever you want. I'll have a cup of tea." After saying that, he drank the tea in front of him. Sheng Tang held the glass of wine, not knowing whether to drink it or not.
Old Master Sheng sighed and hurriedly called back.
Liu Shuyi was peeling shrimps for Zhou Chenshu and was not listening. Zhou Chenshu had a small appetite and said he couldn't eat anymore after eating two. Liu Shuyi handed one to his mouth and he finished it reluctantly. After that, Zhou Chenshu moved a chair and sat next to him and talked in a low voice.
His voice was soft, but quite honest.
The more Mr. Sheng watched the two of them behave like this, the more he felt uncomfortable. When Zhou Chenshu wiped someone's hands with a wet towel, he said to Bian Zhi with a dry laugh, "Have they always had such a good relationship?"
Bian Zhi didn't even turn his head, "Well, my child, my daughter and I almost grew up holding hands. If they have a good relationship, I can't get in the way."
When Mr. Sheng heard this, his brows furrowed.
"Oh, I see. There's something I want to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."
Bian Zhi was full and put down her chopsticks. She smiled and said, "Talk."
"After all, they're not siblings. This is too close, isn't it a bit bad? We're a family, so we have nothing to worry about, but outsiders might gossip about us. Besides, Chen Shu is getting older, and he'll get married and have children in the future. He can't always stick to his sister, right? Besides, Liu Shuyi is also getting older, and he'll have to be married into a different family in the future, right? This—isn't good, it really isn't good."
Bian Zhi nodded, "I think so too."
Old Master Sheng agreed. "Right? I told you you're sensible. You'll definitely listen to me. Today, I want to ask you something. Is our Chen Shu dating someone? Look at my little granddaughter, she's quiet and cute. She's a good match for your Zhou—"
"I have the item." Bian Zhi said.
Mr. Sheng was stunned. "Ah? What?"
Bian Zhi added, "We got married."
"What!" Before Mr. Sheng could say anything, Sheng Xia stood up and said, "Zhou Chenshu got married! When did he get married? And to whom?"
This was a bit rude, and Mr. Sheng didn't have time to stop him.
Bian Zhi didn't care much, "We're getting the marriage certificate today, my child is getting married, as long as he's happy, I don't need to explain to you, right?" Bian Zhi looked at Shengxia with a sharp look, Shengxia sat down slowly, with a dazed look on his face.
"Then," Father Sheng immediately looked at Liu Shuyi, "Then, what about Liu Shuyi?"
"I'm getting married too." Zhou Chenshu, who was playing with someone's fingers, raised his head and replied with a smile, "Today too."
The Sheng family was shocked.
Zhou Chenshu pointed at his face and said, "Marry me."
When Shengxia heard this, the chopsticks in her hand fell on the table with a clatter.
Bian Zhi only looked at Old Master Sheng. "I came to this meal today for no other reason than that my daughter and son had a misunderstanding. Sheng Xia instigated them to be separated for five years. I didn't know about this before. I only found out about it when Sheng Tang came to my house and scolded me. You also know that I am very protective of my shortcomings. I can't let this go. I came here today to tell the outside world that my youngest son is getting married, and to tell your Sheng family that we will no longer do business with each other in the future."
Bian Zhi turned to look at the dazed Sheng Xia, "Little girl, you've graduated from graduate school. There are some things you have to pay the price for. This is the lesson I'm teaching you."
After Bian Zhi finished speaking, he stood up calmly and said, "I'll treat you to dinner today. See you in the rivers and lakes." He turned to the two children and said, "Let's go home. This meal was not enjoyable. Go home. Mother invited everyone to celebrate your wedding."
After saying that, the four of them left cleanly.
The Sheng family’s wishful thinking was shattered.
Sheng Tang took a long time to come back to his senses and asked, "Then Liu Shuyi and I..."
"Liu! Look at your own dog face! Are you worthy of others? We are in the wrong, and you still come to our door to fight! Do you think Bian Zhi is a vegetarian? Hurry home and find out which supply chain is provided by the Zhou family, so that you can quickly prepare for the second-hand!"
Sheng Xia was still dazed, with the image of Zhou Chenshu holding Liu Shuyi's hand intimately in her mind. She was hurriedly dragged out by Sheng's father and lost her high heels on the way.
That night, all the dreams that shouldn't have been had woken me up after a gust of cold wind blew past.
