"Okay, okay, take your time eating. You can leave when you're done. We're going to the next table now."
Lin Wei walked to the side, and Lin Xiaomeng immediately came up to them, whispering in their ears, "How come you can choke on this?"
"You didn't even touch it to see how hot it was. You could have given us a cool one instead. Luckily, everyone was busy with the banquet and didn't notice."
Lin Xiaomeng tested the wine cup with her hand, and sure enough, it was hot to the touch.
"Everyone has seen this, it's too late to change it now. I asked the waiter to pour me some water, and I didn't expect them to pour me hot water."
"It's alright, it's alright, it's just a few cups. Once we finish them, that's it. Hot water is better than alcohol anyway, who knows how much more we'll drink tonight."
And so, cup after cup of hot water was drunk, and the toasts to all 10 tables were finally finished.
The banquet prepared by Shen Jize was of a very high standard. Even though he was living a good life, the food he prepared was something that people rarely got to eat.
As expected, Lin Wei didn't need to do anything; everyone just buried themselves in their food and ate heartily.
When the banquet ended, there wasn't even any food left.
It's finally over.
After saying goodbye to everyone, they changed their clothes and headed to the airport.
Since a small helicopter couldn't carry so many people, Shen Jize simply chartered a private plane and took them all the way to the port city airport.
A few hours didn't pass at all, it was just that time was too rushed.
As soon as Lin Wei got off the plane, she was taken to the VIP fitting room by people sent by Shen Jize to change clothes and put on makeup.
Then, several cars together, without giving any explanation, dragged them to the wedding venue that Chen Jize had prepared in advance halfway up the mountain.
In 1999, the city of Hong Kong was dazzling as the lights came on.
The first-time visitors were almost mesmerized by the sight.
“Although our area has developed very quickly, and I feel like I can’t keep up, the port city is completely different,” Zhang Min said with emotion. “I feel like I’ll definitely gain a lot from this trip.”
But that's a story for another time.
The port city wasn't big, and we arrived at our destination in no time.
By then, all the people invited by Shen Jize had arrived, and they were just waiting for the protagonist to arrive before the next round of ceremonies could begin.
Upon seeing her, Zhuang Jiayi finally breathed a sigh of relief. "You've finally arrived! Many people have been asking me where you are."
"They're here, they're here."
"Do you need your makeup touched up again? Or should we proceed with the ceremony directly?" Zhuang Jiayi asked.
"Let's proceed with the ceremony directly. I already touched up my makeup on the way here."
Surrounded by a crowd and accompanied by music, Lin Wei slowly walked towards Shen Jize with flowers in her hand.
The two ceremonies in one day were actually prepared very simply.
But to everyone's surprise, no sooner had the ceremony ended than Old Master Shen's car drove into their wedding venue.
Because they had checked the weather forecast in advance, they chose an outdoor wedding venue, and the entire ceremony was held outdoors.
No one dared to stop Old Master Shen's car, so it started driving smoothly.
As soon as he got out of the car, Old Master Shen shouted, "Unfilial son! None of the elders came. Does this kind of wedding even count?"
Lin Xiaomeng walked up to Lin Wei and asked softly, "Is this Ji Ze's father?"
"Um."
Lin Xiaomeng had heard Lin Wei talk about Old Master Shen. She had no feelings for Old Master Shen and originally did not want to cause trouble, but she did not want him to disrupt Lin Wei's wedding.
"Grandpa, the ceremony for the two children is over."
Although Old Master Shen had never met Lin Xiaomeng, he had already investigated everything about Lin Wei.
Ignoring Lin Xiaomeng completely, he looked at Shen Jize again, "You didn't even inform your father about your marriage, is this your upbringing?"
“We already had a wedding ceremony in Jiangcheng at noon, and it went very smoothly. We’ve already gotten our marriage certificate in Jiangcheng. Even if you ruin this place, it doesn’t matter. I just wanted to have a good time with everyone. If things don’t go well today, we can always have another one next time.”
But if he loses face with Shen Jize, it's hard to say whether he will take action against the Shen family.
Feeling threatened, Old Master Shen was furious. "Very well, you've truly raised a fine son."
Although Old Master Shen was angry that he hadn't invited Ji Ze to his wedding, once he arrived, he didn't leave. Instead, he joined in and naturally started chatting with everyone.
Lin Wei asked in a low voice, "What's going on? I thought he would leave after showing off his power."
"No, I've already made my move against the Shen family. He wants my help, and only I can help him with this. He won't just walk away like that. Right now, he just wants to win me over."
Lin Wei was shocked. "That works? Will you help?"
“If I were to help, I wouldn’t have done it. The Shen family business has been ruined by Shen Qingji, leaving only an empty shell. Yet the old man still wants the remaining children to revive the Shen family business.”
Of all these children, only Shen Jize currently possesses this ability.
He had previously valued Shen Jize more than Shen Qingji.
But given Shen Jize's personality—
They're completely unruly; you can't get by without tempering their spirits.
But instead of suppressing this sharp edge, it pushed people further and further away.
"Okay, I won't interfere in your family affairs. You can handle it yourselves, but don't put yourselves in danger. We've only just gotten married. Don't make me anxious. Although Hong Kong is prosperous, it's too dangerous. I like this city, but I don't want to come here."
Shen Jize held her hand and promised her, "Weiwei, don't worry, I will never put myself in danger, and it's not that serious."
After leaving Lin Wei outside to greet the guests, Shen Jize led Old Master Shen into the inner room.
It's unclear what the two talked about, but in the end, Grandpa Shen was taken away by an ambulance.
This little incident quickly spread throughout their circle.
Mr. Shen was in a coma for a long time because of this. After he woke up, he was not in good health and passed away less than two months later.
As soon as Old Master Shen passed away, the remaining humanities awards of the Shen family were divided up by the Shen family.
Although the Shen family business is now just an empty shell, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. If they sell some assets and divide the profits, they won't be left with nothing.
When the matter subsided, the clock of the new millennium officially struck, and good news also came from Lin Wei's side.
"I'm pregnant. It's January now, and I'm actually going to have a millennial baby."
Everyone was happy that Lin Wei was pregnant, and Shen Jize once advised her to give up and postpone her career.
"Weiwei, don't rush things with work. Give birth to the baby first, otherwise what if you hurt your body? You still need to take good care of yourself."
Shen Jize originally thought he would have to persuade her patiently for a while, but to his surprise, Lin Wei was very self-aware.
"No, when did I give you the image of a career woman? Although I don't really want to be a full-time housewife, I'm not a career woman who neglects her health for her career."
Lin Wei assured her, "Don't worry, I won't work that hard. Besides, I don't need to work that hard. The amusement park project will be finished soon, but I just bought another piece of land. I still plan to build a residential area. I can leave this project to Zhang Yanyan. Wang Ying's project won't be finished so soon, and the new project won't start so soon either."
