In a room.
Shangguan Wu followed Shen Xining inside, leaving Du Wei outside.
When she saw Shangguan Xiong and the head of the Shen family sitting together drinking, her gaze narrowed slightly for a moment.
Has this reached a consensus?
When Shangguan Xiong saw her, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Wu Bao is here. Come over and greet your Uncle Shen."
Shangguan Wu approached with a polite smile and greeted him warmly, "Hello, Uncle Shen."
The head of the Shen family was very satisfied when he saw Shangguan Wu in person, thinking that her beauty would surely help his son return to the right path!
"Little niece, come and sit down. Are you and Ningning friends?"
Shen Xining looked at Shangguan Wu with anticipation.
Shangguan Wu couldn't help but glance at Shen Xining, who was shining like a light bulb. She nodded and said, "We just became friends."
The head of the Shen family was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter: "Not bad, really not bad. Come visit Ningning at the Shen family more often when you have time. She often stays at home alone reading books, which is quite boring."
"good."
Shangguan Wu should be very obedient.
The smile on the Shen family patriarch's face never faded. He was extremely satisfied with Shangguan Wu's obedience. He poured Shangguan Xiong another cup of wine and invited him, "Brother Shangguan, a very important person will be coming over later. Come with me to pick him up."
Shangguan Xiong's pupils contracted slightly: "An important figure?"
The head of the Shen family nodded, but refused to say anything more.
He was shocked when he received the news. He never expected that the president of the multinational W Group would attend the Shen family's dinner party. He had sent the invitation letter with no hope at all, because there were so many banquets, big and small, in Changteng City, and the president of W Group had never shown up before. Some people said that although he had moved the group's headquarters to Changteng City, he was not actually in Changteng City.
Tonight, the Shen family will usher in a historic moment.
The Shen family accomplished what the Quan family couldn't, and so the Shen family quickly became the leading family in Changteng City!
The more the head of the Shen family thought about it, the more excited he became.
Shangguan Xiong poured a glass of red wine and handed it to Shangguan Wu, saying gently, "Let's toast your Uncle Shen."
"oh."
Shangguan Wu reached out and took the wine glass. As she gently swirled the red wine inside, she suddenly caught a whiff of something unusual. She raised her eyebrows slightly, curled her lips into a smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
She walked toward the head of the Shen family, but her feet accidentally tripped, and as she staggered, red wine spilled onto her sleeves and dripped onto the ground.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Shen, this wine was originally meant for you."
Shangguan Wu revealed a look of guilt.
The head of the Shen family asked, "Are you alright? Are you alright?"
Shangguan Wu shook her head and said with annoyance, "It's nothing, it's just that there's some red wine on my skirt. I'll go to the restroom to wash it off. Excuse me, Uncle Shen."
"Go ahead." The head of the Shen family waved his hand, then looked at his youngest daughter and said, "Ningning, you go with her. You are familiar with this place, so take good care of her."
"I understand, Dad."
Shen Xining immediately got up and walked out of the room with Shangguan Wu.
They walked down the long corridor, followed by bodyguards, and neither of them spoke.
It wasn't until they entered the restroom that Shen Xining couldn't wait to ask, "You came out on purpose, didn't you? Actually, I don't like being with the elders either. I can't understand what they're saying, and it's so boring and tedious."
Shangguan Wu straightened his sleeves, turned to look at her, and said, "Don't you like reading at home?"
Shen Xining narrowed her eyes and smiled smugly: "Because I'm reading a novel!"
Shangguan Wu understood.
She seemed to have done something similar before and was even reprimanded by her homeroom teacher, but now that she thought about it, she just laughed it off.
Shen Xining asked her curiously, "Don't you like drinking?"
Shangguan Wu said, "I don't like it."
Suddenly the music outside stopped.
Shen Xining curiously walked to the door and peeked in: "It must be the important person my dad was talking about! Sister Wu, are you done?"
Shangguan Wu finished tidying up, walked over to her and said, "Okay, let's go."
Shen Xining took her hand and walked quickly into the banquet hall.
In the hall at this moment.
The head of the Shen family led several family members toward the door, including Shangguan Xiong and Chen Xintong.
"What happened?"
"They must be going to pick someone up, right?"
"Who has such influence that they would send the heads of several prominent families from Changteng City to pick them up? Have you guys ever seen them before?"
"No, let's go and see."
The area around an elevator door outside the banquet hall quickly filled with people.
The head of the Shen family, who was at the forefront, was very excited, his eyes fixed intently on the numbers flashing on the elevator screen.
A ding sound.
The elevator doors opened.
All the young people held their breath and craned their necks to look inside, wanting to see who this person was that their elders valued so much!
At this moment, Gu Shiyi pushed his wheelchair out of the elevator.
Everyone looked at the man sitting in the wheelchair. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a handsome face. His deep and cold gaze kept people at a distance, making them afraid to meet his eyes.
Although the head of the Shen family was taken aback for a moment, he quickly recovered and stepped forward with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Shangguan Xiong spoke up before him: "Yun Zhen, what brings you here? Are you here to see Wu Bao?"
The head of the Shen family stopped in his tracks a second later.
Could the "Wu Bao" that Shangguan Xiong mentioned be Shangguan Wu, the girl he's eyeing as his daughter-in-law? He was even thinking of introducing his daughter to the president of W Group, hoping they could get married, but Shangguan Xiong ruined all of that. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Shangguan Xiong, that old fox!
Everyone else's eyes were also focused on Shangguan Xiong.
Shangguan Xiong was filled with passion and didn't care about other people's eyes. He looked at Gu Yunzhen with a loving expression and said, "Wu Bao is in the room. I'll take you to find her."
Gu Yunzhen gave a curt "hmm".
Gu Shiyi pushed her wheelchair into the banquet hall, surrounded by powerful and influential figures from Changteng City.
The younger generation has fallen far behind.
At first, no one spoke, but as the distance between them gradually increased, people began to whisper among themselves.
"Why do I feel like he's sitting on a dragon throne, not a wheelchair?"
"Isn't this just like an emperor traveling incognito? Surrounded by a bunch of big shots, it makes him look so powerful!"
"You're envious, huh? If you're so capable, why don't you build a multinational corporation yourself? Then everyone will revolve around you!"
"Heh, maybe he's just lucky and inherited the family business early. No matter how much you praise him, he can't stand up. Even a cripple can make you grovel, tsk tsk tsk... Besides, what era are we living in? Still acting like an emperor? You can send him to the police station for ideological reform in a minute!"
When a man gets sour, his mouth can smell really bad.
But the socialites and heiresses present were all captivated by Gu Yunzhen's handsome face and his innate noble temperament.
"Even in a wheelchair, he has such a powerful presence!"
"If you can't reach the grapes, just say they're sour!"
Two socialites and heiresses slammed the sour chicken man.
