Chapter 152 Dinner
Shen Yuan nodded in agreement, "The Prime Minister has indeed treated me very well."
Mother Shen took Shen Yuan’s hand and sat down.
She looked at Shen Yuan's cheek and said softly, "Nannan, mother knows that these words may spoil the fun, so you just listen to them."
"We women's feelings are different from men's. Women can love one person forever, but men can divide their love among many people at the same time. It is very rare for a couple to be together for a lifetime."
"The Prime Minister treats you well now and cherishes you, but you must understand these principles in your heart. We women must always have money in our hands, stay calm when encountering difficulties, and always love ourselves in order to live a good life."
Chen Yuan looked at her mother's graying temples and nodded, "Mother, I don't need to worry about this."
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little serious, Mother Shen added, "Mother just wants you to be careful. Mother feels that the Prime Minister treats you differently. Our daughter is lucky to have someone who truly loves and respects you."
Chen Yuan nodded seriously, "Don't worry, mother. My Lord treats me very well. I also have the ability to live a good life."
Mother Shen looked at her with relief, "My daughter has really grown up."
Shen Yuan suddenly remembered something, and her face turned pale. "Mother, I want to ask if you know my eldest brother's background?"
Mother Shen shook her head. "Xi'er has been secretly taking care of us all these years. He is a good child who knows how to repay his gratitude. When your father picked him up, he didn't say anything."
There was no false expression in the mother's eyes.
There was a struggle in Shen Yuan's eyes. She wanted to ask her mother something, but looking at her mother's face, she couldn't ask.
"Nannan, what do you want to ask your mother?"
Mother Shen saw Shen Yuan's entanglement at a glance, and she spoke, her eyes as wise as always.
"Mother, I...I want to ask if I am your biological child?"
Mother Shen's eyes flashed with astonishment, and she held Shen Yuan's hand tightly, "Why would A Yuan say that? Who said what?"
Chen Yuan frowned, "Yan Xi said that I am not my mother's biological child."
She didn't tell her mother about Nan Chu.
Because she didn't see her mother's expression as if she knew all this.
Mother Shen's eyes showed doubt, "Mother thinks Xi'er said this because she thinks we can't come back, and she wants to make you feel better."
"But Yuan'er, you are indeed the child born after your mother carried you for ten months."
The stone that was pressing on Chen Yuan's heart finally dissipated.
She is her mother's biological child, which means that Yan Xi's words are not credible. He is trying to alienate her from the adults.
Mother Shen looked at Shen Yuan's expression and said, "Nannan, is there something unpleasant between you and your eldest brother?"
Chen Yuan shook her head, "Mother is overthinking."
She glanced at the sky and said, "It's time for dinner, mother. It's been a long time since I've had dinner with you."
The dinner dishes are extremely rich.
Gu Huailing and Shen's father drank tea for an entire afternoon, and directly turned Shen's father into a close friend regardless of age.
When Gu Huailing wants to win someone's favor, he always keeps a low profile.
"Shenzhi is in a good mood today, so you and I should have a couple of drinks later."
Before Father Shen finished speaking, Mother Shen glared at him fiercely.
"The Prime Minister still has official business to attend to, so please don't invite him to drink."
Gu Huailing looked at Mother Shen with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, a couple of drinks will be fine."
Gu Yao walked over holding Shen Zhao's hand.
This time, Shen Zhao changed to a larger carving knife.
He still held his precious wooden horse, looking reluctant.
Shen's father and mother already knew about Shen Zhao's situation.
Gu Huailing and Shen Yuan agreed that Chen Zhao had accidentally hit his head and would recover as normal with careful care.
Therefore, the two elders were not too worried.
When Mother Shen saw Gu Yao, her eyes lit up instantly.
She waved to Gu Yao, "Miss Gu, come over here."
Gu Yao, who has always been fearless, actually looked a little shy at this moment.
She stepped forward and saluted respectfully towards Mother Shen, “Hello, Auntie.”
Shen Zhao, who was standing by, saw her push him away and looked at her unhappily.
Gu Yao turned around and glared at him fiercely, and he continued to hold the carving knife and continue carving the little wooden horse.
Mother Shen took off the jade bracelet on her wrist and put it on Gu Yao’s wrist.
Gu Yao looked at the priceless jade bracelet on her wrist and waved her hands repeatedly. Even though she had seen many fine things, she had never seen such a jade bracelet with so much water.
"This, this is too precious."
Mother Shen stopped her from taking off her clothes: "Thanks to you for taking care of Zhao'er these days, Zhao'er can't propose marriage in his current condition. When he gets better, I will marry him with three matchmakers and six betrothals. Auntie will definitely give you the best."
Gu Yao was so embarrassed that Chen Yuan looked at her with a smile.
It turns out that this girl can be so shy sometimes.
"Just accept what your mother gives you. This is a family heirloom passed down from the Shen family to their daughters-in-law."
Shen Yuan looked at Gu Yao jokingly.
Father Shen looked into Shen Zhao's eyes and wanted to pull his hand, "Come Zhao'er, sit with your father."
Shen Zhao immediately took a step back, he clenched the carving knife in his hand and looked at Shen's father warily.
Gu Yao immediately went to pull Shen Zhao.
Shen Zhao still stood there motionless.
Father Shen’s eyes were full of worry, but he didn’t want others to see it, so he could only smile and turn around.
Chen Yuan felt sad when he saw this.
Gu Huailing poured a glass of wine for Father Shen, “Father, I’ll have a couple of drinks with you.”
Shen Zhao pulled Gu Yao to sit farthest away from Shen's father.
Shen Zhao had no hostility towards Shen's mother.
But he was also wary of Gu Huailing, so Shen Yuan let him go.
While eating, Shen Zhao also held his carving knife.
Gu Yao picked up a piece of green vegetables and put it in his bowl, "Chen Zhao is not allowed to be picky about food."
Shen Zhao looked at the vegetable with great reluctance, but still picked it up.
Father Shen picked up two chicken legs, put one on a plate and handed it to Gu Yao and the other to Shen Zhao.
"Miss Gu, Zhao'er loves chicken legs the most. You two can have some."
He looked very cautious and didn't even dare to pass it directly to Shen Zhao.
Chen Yuan laughed and said, "Father is partial and won't give any to his daughter."
Father Shen's eyes immediately lit up with joy. He picked up a piece of fish for her and carefully picked out the bones from it. "You love fish the most, how could I forget?"
Shen Yuan has loved eating fish since she was a child. Her father did the same thing back then, picking out all the fish bones before giving them to her.
Chen Yuan's eyes turned red and she lowered her head to eat.
Gu Huailing also pushed the fish meat he had picked out from the plate to Chen Yuan, "Madam, eat more."
Gu Yao put the chicken leg into Shen Zhao's bowl and ordered, "You must eat it."
Shen Zhao frowned and looked at Gu Yao with reluctance.
After seeing Gu Yao pick up the chicken leg and take a bite, he slowly began to eat.
The dinner took an unusually long time, and even Gu Huailing was a little tipsy.
Father Shen wanted to pull Gu Huailing to drink, but was dragged out by Mother Shen's ears.
Although Gu Huailing was a little drunk, he still held Shen Yuan's hand firmly in his palm, "Madam, I haven't forgotten what you promised me."
Gu Yao pulled Shen Zhao and walked at the back.
At this moment, Shen Zhao's eyes suddenly changed, turning into pure black pupils!
