Seeing this, Shen Jiaojiao took the initiative to pick up the wine glass.
She also stood up and said, "Aunt Song, we should be the ones toasting you. Today is also thanks to you for helping Jing Zhuo and me arrange so much. Thank you."
She has a high emotional intelligence, and these words made Song Qiulan feel more proud, so she was naturally happy.
It also broke the deadlock and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If Chen Jingzhuo really had that kind of temper, he probably wouldn't even give them the slightest bit of respect.
The guests came here today to enjoy the good fortune, and Chen Jiaojiao didn't want them to leave the house, as they would gossip about the two of them later.
After Song Qiulan finished her drink, she sat down and said, "It seems your wife has some brains. If she hadn't stood up, I would have overturned the table."
Next, it was their turn to go to each table and toast. Chen Jingzhuo brought Shen Jiaojiao with him. Shen Jiaojiao didn't know most of the people, so she had to be introduced by Chen Jingzhuo.
Of course, Shen Jiaojiao also knew that after drinking so much today, it would be good enough if she could remember one or two people. So many people might be forgotten the next day.
The emcee walked in front, leading the way for them and also helping them get drinks.
The first one to come was Chen Guorong, and Chen Jingzhuo still pulled Shen Jiaojiao to bow to him.
After watching Chen Guorong finish his drink, he took Shen Jiaojiao to the next table.
He simply ignored Song Qiulan.
Song Qiulan had a stern face and wanted to stand up, but Chen Guorong held down her arm first.
"What do they mean? Why did they skip me?"
Chen Guorong is also a person who cares about face. What Chen Jingzhuo did today was so obvious, how could he not know? That kid just wanted to embarrass both of them.
"Let's not bother with them today. There are so many guests here."
Song Qiulan was dissatisfied. "Old Chen, I've always been the one who got wronged in your family. It's been 10 or 20 years, and it's still like this now. You really don't take me, your elder, seriously, do you?"
"Why are you so angry? There are so many people watching. Do you want them to laugh at our Chen family?"
Although she was unwilling, since Chen Guorong had said so much, Song Qiulan did not dare to do anything rash.
Based on her understanding of Chen Guorong, let alone her, even his first wife just gave up on him, didn't she?
Both Shen Jiaojiao and Chen Jingzhuo drank a little too much, especially Chen Jingzhuo.
When he got in front of his colleague, he almost couldn't stand.
Shen Jiaojiao saw it all and whispered in his ear, "Why don't you go and vomit for a while? I'm here to hold you up."
"That won't do. You're a woman, and I don't want you to drink so much." Chen Jingzhuo casually pulled his collar. He usually buttoned his clothes tightly, but this time he didn't care and just unbuttoned two of them.
"Looking at you like this, I'm afraid they're going to get you drunk tonight. Why don't I give you two injections first? It will give you some relief."
Chen Jingzhuo looked at her and thought he had married a divine wife.
"Chen Jiaojiao, are all diseases invincible to you?"
Shen Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and said, “Generally, I have no problem with it, but if it’s more serious, I may not be able to do it. But I’m still young, and I can learn slowly in the future.”
The two of them finished their toast while being half drunk and half awake.
After finally being able to rest for a while, Shen Jiaojiao pulled Chen Jingzhuo and hurriedly asked him to eat more.
"Fill your stomach first, otherwise it will hurt your body."
Chen Jingzhuo believed her words without a doubt.
After eating, the guests slowly left.
Although the two were very tired, they still supported each other and stood at the door to see them off one by one.
Shen Jiaojiao yawned, then opened her hands and relaxed.
"Finally he's gone. I'll go in and lie down for a while."
She had never felt so tired before. It seemed that getting married was not an easy thing.
Chen Jingzhuo also followed and lay down, and the two smiled at each other.
"Have you had a hard day today?"
"I'm not as hard-working as you," Shen Jiaojiao turned around and looked at him. She had never seen him so closely before. "If it weren't for you, I might have been very embarrassed at the banquet."
It was indeed Chen Jingzhuo who was mostly in charge today, and Shen Jiaojiao could do nothing.
Just as the two were chatting, a little boy's voice was heard outside.
"Mom, what are these golden things? They can't be real gold, right?"
Shen Jiaojiao sat up when she heard the sound and looked outside. The little boy stared at the gold with his eyes wide open.
Chen Jingzhuo guessed that the other party might be here to steal something, so he and Shen Jiaojiao tiptoed out.
"That's quite a lot." Song Qiulan couldn't help but say.
The gold should have been sent by someone today. Shen Jiaojiao was too busy, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Besides, this is their home now. She felt that if she left her things outside, no one would find them, and it was even more impossible for someone to have dirty hands.
But obviously, that was just her thinking.
The child was a little fat and even clumsy.
He is very playful and naughty.
At first glance, he was the kind of child without any family discipline. Not only did he play with the gold in his hands, but he also jumped up and down on the gift boxes. Shen Jiaojiao frowned, because he would step on them and break them.
Then look at Song Qiulan next to him, she doesn't seem to want to care at all.
Instead, she gestured for him to speak more quietly, fearing that he would wake up Chen Jingzhuo and the others.
"Don't let them hear it."
"Mom, I don't know how much this much is worth. Why don't we take some away? They won't be noticed if we take less."
The little boy didn't wait for Song Qiulan's consent and put the gold into his pocket.
Song Qiulan turned a blind eye, thinking that even if they caught her, she could just say that the child took it. The child was so young and ignorant, and she believed that Chen Jingzhuo would not argue with her.
Just when she was about to ask the child to take more, she heard the child's voice behind her.
"Mom, save me, save me."
Only then did Song Qiulan realize that Chen Jingzhuo had come out at some point, and was now holding her child up with one hand.
"Xiaocheng." She looked at Chen Xiaocheng nervously, then at Chen Jingzhuo, "Jingzhuo, what are you doing? Xiaocheng is your biological brother."
Chen Jingzhuo snorted coldly, "Brother? Sorry, I don't have a brother like that who steals things. You're like what you give birth to. The older one likes to steal, so does the younger one?"
"What are you talking about? We are not stealing at all. Xiaocheng is just interested and came to take a look. Aren't the things all here? We didn't take anything. Hurry and put Xiaocheng down first."
