The old house of the Shi family.
The three Song sisters followed Shi Yanhua into the dining room.
The originally happy scene suddenly turned cold.
Song Wuwu wore a white dress that highlighted her temperament, with a windbreaker on the outside, looking both knowledgeable and gentle.
Song Shanshan also changed her original old cloth shirt into a Mori girl cloth shirt and a wide skirt, and wore an ancient-style coat with a fur collar on the outside.
As for Song Xiner, she was still dressed as a cute angel princess.
As soon as they came in, Father Shi waved to them and left enough space beside him.
Song Wuwu always had a peaceful smile on her face as she walked over and sat down with Shi Yanhua.
Throughout the whole process, Mr. Shi didn't even look at them. He was just greeting the Xie family.
Xie Yixiu sat opposite, looking at Song Wuwu with an unreadable expression.
Song Wuwu felt this gaze, met its gaze, and smiled faintly, reflecting her character and demeanor.
Xie Yixiu's eyes flashed with surprise, and she nodded and smiled.
"This is just an ordinary party. Mainly because I, an old man, am bored staying alone in such a big house, so I specially invite the noble families and the younger generation to come over for a meal." Grandpa Shi's tone was lazy, but it made people feel the dangerous atmosphere of a lion taking a nap.
"Thank you Uncle Shi for the invitation. It is really an honor for our Xie family to have dinner with the Shi family this time. We also met Yan Hua's fiancée here. He really doesn't treat us as outsiders." Mother Xie smiled and was very respectful to Mr. Shi.
But her words brought the atmosphere in the dining room to a freezing point.
Everyone knows that Mr. Shi announced on the Internet that he would not recognize the daughter of the Song family. Now he suddenly invited the Song sisters over. As the wealthy and shrewd people, they all had speculations.
And her words also gave Mr. Shi an opportunity to perform.
Upon hearing this, Shi's mother smiled and spoke.
"What are you talking about, Madam Xie? When the Shi family gathers in the past, we often invite a group of noble families to come and play. This time is no exception."
Shi's mother's words were tactful.
If she didn't respond, and if Mr. Shi got angry and suddenly disowned Song Wuwu in front of everyone, she would have no way out.
Song Wuwu's eyes moved, and she was very grateful to her mother-in-law for saving the situation.
The two sisters next to her had pouting faces and were very dissatisfied.
[Are you kidding me? You pulled me out of my sleep just to show me this infuriating scene. However, I do remember that the Xie family did marry into the Shi family.]
In the original novel, Shi Yanhua once looked for Song Wuwu, but Song Wuwu, who believed in love wholeheartedly, was shocked by the shock of her worldview, became depressed, and did not want to see him, so they missed each other.
It was not until Song Wuwu got married that Shi Yanhua married Xie Yixiu under the pressure of Mr. Shi.
Hearing these words, Song Wuwu and Song Shanshan's faces changed.
Song Wuwu clenched her hands, and Shi Yanhua noticed her abnormality and held her hand tightly.
In the main seat, Mr. Shi stood still as a mountain, with no smile on his face, but he didn't look angry either.
No one knows what he really thinks.
The tableware was served and the dishes were quickly served.
French-style baked cordon bleu steak, Italian black truffle pasta, Spanish seafood risotto, Japanese-style codfish teriyaki, lobster balls in green broth, steamed abalone with vermicelli in black bean sauce, Parisian lobster...
Top dishes from all over the world are here.
At the dining table, only the sound of cutlery could be heard.
Mr. Shi suddenly put down his fork, wiped his mouth with the napkin, and said, "Are you used to eating this?"
He didn't tell anyone, but everyone thought he was targeting the Soong sisters.
Among them, they are the only ordinary people who have never seen such a grand scene.
Everyone responded to Mr. Shi's words one by one, and looked at the Song sisters with a playful look in their eyes.
"You probably aren't used to the food. Actually, everyone is very tolerant. If you really aren't used to it, you can tell us and ask the chef to serve more home-cooked dishes." Mother Xie smiled kindly, but the contempt in her eyes was clear.
Song Shanshan put down her fork and said indifferently, "Thank you for the reminder, Auntie. I really can't get used to it. I'd like to ask the chef to serve a few more home-cooked dishes."
After she finished speaking, she murmured softly, "I thought it was a family gathering, but it turned out to be a show-off meal."
She spoke in a voice neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone to hear.
Xie's mother, who was being called aunt by her, froze for a moment, then smiled casually, "Indeed, according to age, you should call me aunt. If everyone followed the order of seniority and knew their place, the world wouldn't be so chaotic."
There was something else in her words.
There was news that she was having an affair with Mr. An.
The second said that Song Wuwu was ignorant and wanted to marry into a wealthy family.
After saying this, he continued to imply something.
"Besides, we're used to these meals. I didn't expect you to think of it as a way to show off your wealth. You really think badly of me."
Xie's mother had a dagger in her smile.
This made Song Shanshan very angry. She said it was okay to say that to her, but she couldn't say that to her sisters!
Besides, it's not like they haven't eaten these dishes before at the Song family! What's the yin and yang to it?
She was about to speak, but was suppressed by Song Wuwu.
On the other side, Shi Yanhua's face was also ugly. He knew it was a Hongmen Banquet, but he was humiliated because he had to maintain superficial decency. He felt really uncomfortable.
He didn't want to endure it anymore.
Just as he was about to interrupt Xie's mother's sarcasm with a tough attitude, he was stopped by Song Wuwu.
Song Wuwu gave him a comforting smile.
She looked across indifferently.
"This world is dominated by people, but precisely because of this, we need to remember this: everyone is equal. We must first learn to respect others before we can be individuals. No one is nobler than anyone else, and everyone has the right to pursue a better life."
"We're grateful for the feast, but you're exploiting this situation. I can't blame my sister for being so aggressive. I think her dislike for you just now was really caused by your attitude, right? Everyone here knows what you meant."
