Chapter 89 Honored
Follow the guidance of the staff.
Shen Ruqing and Shen Ruyan walked through the corridor and headed towards the banquet hall.
The corridors are decorated on both sides with low-key and elegant authentic paintings.
The carpet beneath my feet absorbed most of the sound of my footsteps.
Shen Ruqing glanced sideways and noticed the smile on Shen Ruyan's face that had not completely disappeared.
He slowed down his pace and asked casually, "Where did you go just now? You seem to be in a good mood."
Shen Ruyan didn't intend to hide it from him, and answered frankly: "I went to the main building to see Mingzhu."
Shen Ruqing nodded lightly and didn't ask any more questions.
Although Shen Ruyan has a lively personality, she still acts with propriety.
She is also well-behaved and likable in front of her elders.
He took the initiative to visit the main building.
It not only expresses the Shen family's closeness to the Ming family, but also appears more sincere and natural.
It's not a bad thing.
Shen Ruqing reminded in a low voice: “The banquet is about to start, don’t wander around for a while, stay with me.”
"I understand, brother." Shen Ruyan nodded in agreement.
The banquet hall was brightly lit, with several huge crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.
The indoor temperature is precisely controlled, neither too hot nor too cold.
The spacious site has been cleverly laid out to create a smooth walking path.
Shen Ruqing's eyes swept across the banquet hall, where figures were already mingling.
Many guests were gathered in twos and threes, and the atmosphere was getting heated.
When they show up.
One cold and one warm, walking side by side, are particularly eye-catching.
"The two young masters of the Shen family in Ganzhou?" A middle-aged man in a dark suit approached with a smile.
His gaze lingered on Shen Ruqing's face for a moment, then he greeted her, "Ruqing, right?"
Shen Ruqing looked over when he heard the voice and quickly searched for the other person's identity from his memory.
An important figure in the Wang family of Xiangxi.
Shen Ruqing nodded calmly and responded in a gentle voice, "Uncle Wang, long time no see."
This circle is not small.
But the families that are truly at the top have been friends with each other for generations.
Even if we don't interact frequently, I will never make the mistake of admitting someone's mistake.
"Is this Ruyan? She's grown so tall and pretty now."
The middle-aged man nodded and looked at Shen Ruyan beside him with a smile, his tone full of appreciation.
Shen Ruyan restrained some of her casualness, straightened her expression, and replied steadily: "Uncle Wang, hello."
After all, it is the temperament that has been nurtured since childhood by power and money.
If she acts a little more seriously, her elegance can no longer be concealed.
The smile in the middle-aged man's eyes deepened. He patted his shoulder and sighed: "It is true that heroes emerge from youth."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, he looked behind them and asked casually, "Your father didn't come with you this time?"
Shen Ruqing explained with a smile, “Grandpa specially arranged for Ruyan and I to come here to see the world.”
The middle-aged man nodded when he heard this: "Give my regards to Mr. Shen, and I will visit him again another day."
"I'll definitely pass it on. Looking forward to it, Uncle Wang." Shen Ruqing responded politely.
Watched the middle-aged man leave with the staff.
Shen Ruqing turned sideways: "Ruyan, it's time for us to take our seats."
The lights in the banquet hall dimmed one by one.
Only one exceptionally bright light fell on the main stage.
When Mr. Ming appeared, the atmosphere on the scene reached a climax.
All the guests stood up to greet him.
Mingzhu walked beside her grandfather, her eyes clear, gentle yet cold.
Just half a step behind her, Jiang Zhi stood tall and followed with a calm expression.
The three of them appeared together and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Who is that person following Miss Ming?"
"I've never seen him before. He doesn't look like an ordinary person."
There were whispers among the crowd, but no one could give a definite answer.
Mr. Ming walked steadily onto the stage, his eyes sweeping across the audience. His voice was steady and powerful: "Thank you all for coming to the Ming family. We are gathered here today to reminisce and celebrate together."
The speech was brief but full of power, and warm applause immediately broke out from the audience.
During the period before important news is announced.
It is specially left for guests to socialize and interact.
As soon as Mr. Ming walked down the stage, waiters carrying drinks started to move among the crowd.
The guests took their wine glasses and began to move around and greet each other.
However, most people still remain on the sidelines.
Only a few representatives with prominent family backgrounds were allowed to step forward and talk to Mr. Ming first.
Others were waiting a little further away, keeping just the right distance.
Neither appear overly anxious, nor miss the opportunity to talk to Mr. Ming.
Not far away, Shen Ruyan looked in the direction of Mingzhu: "Brother, shouldn't we go over and say hello?"
Shen Ruqing looked calm, raised his hand to stop his movements, and whispered: "Wait a little longer. Those who have gone there now are the elders, we will go later."
Lin Shengyuan walked slowly over with a wine glass in hand, and his eyes first fell on Jiang Zhi.
Although it was our first meeting, people like them.
Just a quick look.
Lin Shengyuan already had some thoughts about Jiang Zhi in his mind.
He smiled and looked at Mingzhu and asked, "Mingzhu, who is this?"
Mingzhu met his gaze and introduced calmly, "Uncle Lin, this is Jiang Zhi."
She paused, "My boyfriend."
Several guests nearby heard Mingzhu's introduction clearly and showed surprise on their faces.
Mingzhu turned to look at Jiang Zhi and introduced him softly: "This is Huaiyan's father."
Jiang Zhi nodded calmly, "Uncle Lin, I've heard a lot about you."
His voice was gentle and steady, his demeanor was calm and composed, and he exuded an aura that should not be underestimated.
No one would really regard him as a vassal of Mingzhu.
Lin Shengyuan kept smiling, but his eyes were carefully observing the young man in front of him.
He naturally knew his son's feelings for Mingzhu.
But now, he didn't show any emotion at all, just smiled and nodded: "What a match made in heaven. Mr. Jiang must have something extraordinary to win Mingzhu's favor."
Jiang Zhi's voice was as gentle as before: "It is my honor to be able to accompany you, young lady."
"What a match made in heaven! Mr. Ming is so lucky!" Lin Shengyuan raised the wine glass in his hand and took a sip.
Lin Shengyuan looked at Mingzhu again, his tone friendly and natural, "Huaiyan has been held up by matters abroad recently and can't make it back this time. He even specifically asked me to apologize to you on his behalf and that he would make up for the gift the next time we meet."
Mingzhu shook her head: "It's just a banquet, no need to be so polite."
"That's what he should do," Lin Shengyuan said with a smile. "He's always treated you as his most beloved sister. As a brother, I naturally have to be considerate of you."
These words seemed casual, but they cleverly emphasized the closeness between the Ming and Lin families in front of everyone.
"Okay, thank you Uncle Lin." Mingzhu responded with a smile.
Lin Shengyuan smiled and said, "I won't bother you young people anymore. I'll go say hello to Elder Ming first."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards Mr. Ming with steady steps.
