Chapter 82 Foul
Shen Chutang's eyes were a little moist. She had never discussed these topics with them, and they had never asked them to do anything. According to ordinary people's thinking, Shen Chutang and her friends might not be very competent children, and they were not as filial as others said.
Chen Musheng smiled with tears in his eyes and gently leaned his head on her shoulder. "Baby Tangtang, giving birth to you is our wish as parents, not your mission."
"So, your parents don't make the decisions about what kind of life you want to live or who you want to live with in the future. We are there to help you check and be your strong backing, and that's all."
Shen Chutang's tears still fell, and she wiped them away gently with a tissue, "Mom, you are the best mother in the world."
Chen Musheng smiled and replied, "Tangtang is also the best daughter."
She helped Shen Chutang comb her hair. Looking at her daughter who was almost as tall as herself, she felt a sense of pride in her heart. "Chengyu has grown up under our watch. He has been very good to you over the years. Sometimes I even feel that I haven't done as good as him."
"Love is mutual, and so is giving. Tangtang must also love Chengyu well in the future." Chen Musheng added.
Shen Chutang hugged her arm, "Won't mom be jealous?"
Chen Musheng looked at her and asked, "Why are you jealous? I am very happy to see you find someone you can entrust your life to in my lifetime.
"But it's hard to say about your father."
After Chen Musheng finished speaking, he laughed twice, and there was a knock on the door.
"Are you ready? It's about to start." Shen Sichen shouted impatiently outside.
Then Shen Gengli grabbed his ear and cursed him in a low voice.
Shen Yanheng's family didn't come today. It was fine since Shen Gengli had retired, but Shen Yanheng's status was no longer the same as it was two years ago, so it was inappropriate for him to come to such an occasion.
Shen Sujing and Ji Man went abroad for their honeymoon, so only his brother Shen Sichen was there.
When Chen Musheng pushed open the door and brought Shen Chutang out, Shen Sichen was rubbing his ears and crying.
"Look at him, mom. He's still pulling my ears even though I'm so old."
The two laughed, and Chen Musheng said, "No matter how old you are, you are still your parents' child. We can pull you if we want."
"Okay, I accept my fate. Tang'er is so beautiful today." Shen Sichen praised sincerely, "How can our Tang'er be so beautiful?"
Shen Chutang thought that she was not beautiful to the extreme, but was being praised by him, "Second brother, when you praise someone, can't you change the words?"
Shen Sichen smiled and said, "No, looking good is the highest level of my compliment."
"Dad is not as good as me." Shen Sichen turned to look at Shen Gengli and asked, "Isn't that right, Dad?"
Shen Gengli reached out to hit him again, but he dodged with a smile.
"You little brat, you dare to make fun of your father."
Shen Sichen said quickly: "Hey, Dad, the banquet is about to start, hurry up and take Tang'er down."
Shen Gengli then stopped talking and looked at Shen Chutang with a gentle gaze, "Let's go, Tangtang, let's go down together."
Shen Chutang nodded and took Chen Musheng's arm, feeling nervous and expectant.
Shen Gengli went downstairs before them. This banquet was very formal and a media company was also invited.
Before this, several news agencies heard that the Shen family's daughter's coming-of-age party would invite the media, and several media in Beijing racked their brains to get this opportunity, but they didn't expect that the official media would come in the end. They were helpless and angry, but they knew they couldn't compare, and at the same time they were amazed at the Shen family's attention to this daughter. Only after the official media released the news, they could forward it.
"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend my daughter's coming-of-age party. Although my daughter, Shen Chutang, is an adult, she is still young and adorable. I hope everyone will take good care of her and forgive her in the future."
As soon as these words came out, there was applause from the audience.
Shen Gengli raised his hand to signal for silence, "Finally, I hope everyone has a good time tonight."
Then he walked off the stage, walked to Shen Chutang's side, took her hand and put it around his arm, "Tangtang, Daddy will take you to meet some uncles."
Shen Chutang was looking at Shi Chengyu and smiling. Hearing this, he quickly nodded, then quietly pointed at Shen Gengli and mouthed: Wait for me.
Shi Chengyu also nodded and waved at her.
This kind of banquet was not just a simple birthday celebration. Those who could come were all well-known figures in Beijing. Taking Shen Chutang to meet them was also to tell them that this daughter of the Shen family was very important.
Shen Chutang followed Shen Gengli around the banquet hall for most of the way before finally arriving in front of Shi Chengyu.
"You've been waiting for a long time." These words carried a different profound meaning. Shen Gengli raised his glass and clinked it with Shi Chengyu's.
Shi Chengyu had already stood up when the two of them were walking over here. He lowered his glass a little, "It's worth the wait, Uncle Shen."
Shen Gengli probably did it on purpose and brought the person to him at the end.
Although it takes a long time, Shi Chengyu is right, it is worth waiting, whether it is ten minutes or ten years.
If the occasion wasn't wrong, Shen Gengli might have just rolled his eyes and walked away. He patted Shen Chutang's hand and said, "Okay, it's boring to follow me. Let Chengyu take you out to play."
"Okay, thank you, Dad." Shen Chutang said with a smile.
Shi Chengyu smiled faintly, "Uncle Shen, you've worked hard."
Shen Chutang took Shi Chengyu's arm and said, "Brother Chengyu, this seems to be the first time I hold your arm."
When they were together, most of the time they held hands or Shi Chengyu hugged her.
"Well, Tangtang, do you like it?" Shi Chengyu asked her, pulling her arm and moving it so that she could hold it more comfortably.
"I like it, but I like Brother Chengyu more." Shen Chutang said with a smile.
Shi Chengyu couldn't hide the smile on his lips at all, and squeezed her hand, "If you feel tired, just lean on me."
Shen Chutang shook his head, "No, it doesn't look good."
After all, it is a formal occasion, so she should act like a lady from a noble family.
Shi Chengyu took her arm and walked towards the sofa, "No one dares to say anything to you."
Shen Chutang raised her head slightly, leaned close to his ear and whispered, "You can't let people think that Shi Chengyu's future wife is unruly."
She smiled, and clearly felt Shi Chengyu's footsteps pause. The two balls were like a stone falling into a calm lake, causing ripples.
"Tangtang, stop teasing me." Shi Chengyu said softly, his voice doting and helpless.
Shen Chutang looked at him with her bright eyes, innocently, "Really?"
Shi Chengyu smiled and said nothing. He smoothed the hair beside her ears and said, "No, I just couldn't control myself when I saw Tangtang."
The place where his finger touched her ear started to feel hot instantly. Shen Chutang glared at him and said in a low voice, "Shi Chengyu, you broke the rules."
How could he, who was usually so serious, suddenly say such things? She felt a little uncomfortable.
