Mr. Xie has three sons.
In addition to the eldest son Xie Mingyao who had passed away long ago, the other two sons were Xie Mingcheng and Xie Mingan.
The second son, Xie Mingcheng, was the apparent leader of the Xie family, while the youngest son, Xie Mingan, was just a idler, holding a sinecure in the Xie family without any real power.
After all, it was Mr. Xie's birthday party. Although there were undercurrents inside and outside the Xie family, the atmosphere at the party was harmonious and friendly.
"Master, Miss Shen Mei from the Shen family is here." While they were chatting, the housekeeper walked up to Master Xie and said.
There was a pause in the conversation.
But in a moment, Shen Mei had walked in front of everyone.
"Mr. Xie, today is your birthday party. I have specially prepared a song for you."
Every time there is a birthday banquet to thank the old man, many daughters will show their talents in the name of celebrating the old man's birthday.
It's said to be a birthday celebration, but the real purpose is not to celebrate.
Everyone knew that Xie Jinyan seldom attended such occasions, and even if he did, no one could get close to him, so they all tried their best to attract Xie Jinyan's attention.
But I didn't expect that the first person to take the lead today was the youngest daughter of the Shen family who was invited to attend the birthday party for the first time.
Xie Mingcheng didn't know before that the Shen family was also invited today, and he only found out when he arrived at the scene.
Thinking of the intricate relationship between his nephew and Shen Zhi, and seeing Shen Zhi's stepsister suddenly appear in front of him, he smiled meaningfully.
"I've heard that Shen Hongyi's little daughter is both beautiful and talented, and she plays the piano very well. I didn't expect that I could enjoy her tonight thanks to my father's help."
Xie Mingan has a son and a daughter, a boy and a girl.
Seeing Chen Mei walking up to the stage, her sister Xie Xi rolled her eyes and said with a click of the tongue: "I see, it's not because of Grandpa's fame, it's clearly because of my cousin's fame."
Brother Xie Lin knew that Xie Jinyan had always been annoyed by these self-righteous socialites and daughters of wealthy families. He glanced at the man out of the corner of his eye and whispered a warning to his sister who was so careless with her words.
"If you miss, just say it louder."
Xie Xi: “…”
Offstage, Shen Zhi was talking to the Ji family.
Suddenly, a low piano sound came to my ears.
Everyone looked up subconsciously.
Then she saw Shen Mei, dressed gorgeously, already sitting in front of the piano.
Her fingers flew across the piano keys, and a beautiful melody spread from her hands to every corner of the banquet hall.
Shen Zhi raised his eyebrows.
Everyone who can attend Mr. Xie’s birthday party is a celebrity. If you don’t have the skills, it will be embarrassing to go on stage.
After all, she is Jiang Yun's carefully nurtured daughter. Apart from anything else, Shen Mei has at least 10 years of piano skills and plays well indeed.
But she doesn't have the confidence to run on the stage.
"I've heard before that the little daughter of the Shen family is proficient in piano. Now it seems that she is worthy of the reputation."
"It's not easy for Shen Mei to choose this song. After all, this song is quite difficult. She would never dare to show off on stage without putting in some effort."
"I didn't expect that. Shen Hongyi's daughter showed off her piano skills at the beginning of the banquet. If other daughters still want to play the piano, they should think twice."
Amid the discussions around them, Jiang Yun looked at Shen Mei on the stage with satisfaction.
Shen Hongyi leaned over and whispered, "Why didn't I know that Meimei was going to play the piano on stage today?"
Jiang Yun's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a gentle smile.
"That girl knew that you valued this birthday party very much, so she prepared this song long ago, saying that she wanted to give it to Mr. Xie and also to give our Shen family face and give you a surprise. I originally thought it was inappropriate, but Meimei's teacher praised this song after hearing it, so I followed her will."
"Hongyi, you won't blame us for taking the initiative, right?"
Shen Hongyi's frown relaxed, and listening to the faint praise coming from all around him, he felt that Shen Mei did not embarrass him.
"Of course not. I didn't know Meimei could play the piano so well. It really gave me a big surprise. However, if something like this happens again in the future, you'd better discuss it with me first."
Jiang Yun lowered her eyes and agreed.
Thick false eyelashes concealed the excitement that flashed across her eyes.
Bigger surprises are yet to come.
The song is over.
Shen Mei stood tall in front of the piano.
There was applause at the scene.
At this moment, someone among the guests shouted, "The young lady of the Shen family is an outstanding pianist. I think the eldest lady of the Shen family is also talented. Why don't we ask the eldest lady to show us some skills?"
The voice was quite loud and stood out amidst the applause.
However, there were so many guests in the banquet hall that no one noticed who said this for a moment.
There were countless celebrities and wealthy ladies coming to see Xie Jinyan tonight, and Chen Zhi and Xie Jinyan had already made many enemies when they appeared together.
The rumor that Chen Zhi was unlearned and unskillful had been circulated fiercely in this circle earlier. When someone shouted this, many people echoed it maliciously.
"Yes, Miss Shen is a star, so she must have many talents."
"Perform a show."
For a moment, all kinds of noises rang out in the banquet hall, pointing directly at Chen Zhi.
Chen Zhi raised an eyebrow.
Shen Mei suddenly appeared on the stage, it turned out that she was waiting for her here.
Not only did he show off in front of many guests, but he also dragged her into the water.
Later, when people mentioned the two daughters of the Shen family, one was talented and the other was uneducated, a perfect control group.
It's really a good trick to kill two birds with one stone.
The Ji family had heard some rumors about Shen Zhi before, and when they heard the voices calling for Shen Zhi to go on stage, their brows immediately frowned.
Old Master Ji’s expression turned grim: These people clearly have bad intentions!
The Xie family members apparently did not expect such a turn of events and were stunned for a moment.
Xie Mingcheng glanced at Xie Jinyan, only to see him half leaning on his seat with his arms folded, a dull expression on his face, and it seemed like he had no intention of helping Shen Zhi out of this situation.
Xie Xi looked at Shen Mei who seemed a little annoyed not far away, then looked at Shen Zhi who was standing still in the audience, and clicked his tongue twice with interest.
The butler came to Mr. Xie with an embarrassed look on his face.
Just wanted to speak.
A lazy female voice came from afar——
"OK."
