Chapter 26 Banquet (Part 2)

Ding Wei was a little embarrassed for a moment.

Then he got a little angry.

It would have been fine if he didn't tell Lu Ran about the invitation, but Lu Ran actually dared not tell him?

"What kind of work are you doing here?" Ding Wei asked.

Lu Ran ate something slowly.

He looked at Mrs. Shen who was staring at him not far away, afraid that he would "say nonsense", smiled and said:

"Be a taster, so that I can bear the consequences."

This sounded like nonsense.

Ding Wei was angry, but he didn't dare to lose his temper in this situation.

Finally, he found an excuse and left embarrassedly.

After walking a few steps, Ding Wei felt that he seemed to be reckless again.

He would have to rely on Lu Ran to do experiments in the future.

In addition, it was not clear what the relationship between Lu Ran and the Shen family was, and it seemed unwise to quarrel with Lu Ran now.

After wandering around the banquet hall for a while, Ding Wei decided to go back and say a few soft words to Lu Ran.

He had just taken a few steps when he was stopped by someone.

Ding Wei turned around and found that it was a young man. He

just heard someone call him Young Master Zhang, and he seemed to be the heir of a big family.

In school, they also saw him talking to Shen Xingran.

Ding Wei was suddenly a little nervous.

He responded enthusiastically: "Young Master Zhang, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Zhang Lin didn't look at him. He was

still staring at Lu Ran sitting in the corner.

This man was still eating.

How long has he been eating!

Zhang Lin stared at Lu Ran for a while.

He wanted to find an opportunity to implement his plan, but he never saw Lu Ran move over. He didn't have the courage

to walk directly in front of Lu Ran . "You know him, right?" Zhang Lin pointed at Lu Ran and asked. Ding Wei was stunned and nodded: "Uh... well, we are classmates." "That's perfect." Zhang Lin handed the wine that he had been holding for more than ten minutes to Ding Wei, and lowered his voice to say: "Let Lu Ran drink this glass of wine, and then take him back to his own room." "His own room, do you want him to leave?" Ding Wei didn't understand for a moment. "Leave what?" Zhang Lin looked at him in confusion, "He lives in the Shen family." Ding Wei was surprised. He looked at the wine in his hand again, looked at Zhang Lin hesitantly, and slowly figured out what he meant. Zhang Lin lowered his eyes and stared at him. "You know what to do, right?" He stopped Ding Wei familiarly, pulled Ding Wei aside, and patted Ding Wei on the shoulder. "I heard that it is difficult to get a guaranteed admission quota to graduate school in your school?" Ding Wei instantly understood the meaning of Zhang Lin's words. Acting faster than thinking, he immediately agreed: "Don't worry, Master Zhang, Lu Ran and I are very familiar with each other." Zhang Lin nodded with satisfaction and left. Because he didn't have to face the devil Lu Ran directly, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ding Wei walked around the venue with the wine in his hand. His mind was in a mess. Lu Ran actually lives in the Shen family, what is his relationship with the Shen family? What was added to this glass of wine, what was Master Zhang going to do to Lu Ran? Would Master Zhang be interested in Lu Ran? Thinking of this, all kinds of hesitation disappeared in an instant, and Ding Wei even felt a little jealous. Why did this Zhang Shao fall for Lu Ran? He even drugged him? Ding Wei thought about it and brought another glass of wine. He walked in front of Lu Ran and said, "Lu Ran, have you been angry with me recently?" Lu Ran had almost finished eating and looked up at him. Ding Wei said, "We have been good friends for so long, it is not worth it to quarrel over some trivial matters. I toast you with this glass of wine as a gift and apology." As he said that, Ding Wei raised his head and drank the glass of wine that was brought to him later. He forced himself to restrain his inner tension and put the glass that Zhang Lin handed to him in front of Lu Ran: "You can do whatever you want." Lu Ran watched him finish the wine quietly. He turned his head to look at the glass that Ding Wei put down, reached out and picked it up, took a closer look, and did not drink it. "I know you're still angry. Let's talk it out." Ding Wei looked around and acted embarrassed. "There are too many people here. Let's find a quiet place to talk." Lu Ran looked at him and suddenly smiled. "Okay." He picked up the wine and walked forward with Ding Wei. "Why don't we go to my room?" Ding Wei felt relieved. He was so nervous that he was afraid that Lu Ran would not be fooled. He didn't expect it to be so easy. Ding Wei followed Lu Ran and even took a look at the surrounding layout. He thought Lu Ran's room would be on the second floor, but when he saw Lu Ran walking along the corridor on the first floor towards the servant's room at the back, he couldn't help but curl his lips. Maybe he is really working. Otherwise, how could he live with a servant. Lu Ran said nothing and took Ding Wei into the room. He made a gesture to Da Huang who was sleeping on his stomach to go out and play. Da Huang immediately ran out through the crack of the door. Lu Ran said, "Hey, my dog ​​ran out, can you help me check it?" "Oh oh." Ding Wei responded subconsciously and leaned out to call the dog. Lu Ran took advantage of him not paying attention and poured half of the wine in his hand into the trash can. "It ran away to the backyard." Ding Wei came back and said. Lu Ran looked out from the window.

Seeing that Da Huang just ran to the back yard to use the restroom, he could see the whole process from the window, so he didn't call him back.

I guess something terrible will happen in this room later. Da Huang is an old dog, so it's better not to watch.

Seeing that the wine glass in Lu Ran's hand was half empty, Ding Wei's heart suddenly fell into his stomach.

Seeing that the mission was completed, he was not in the mood to "vent to each other" with Lu Ran.

After a few simple words, he said: "The few people who came with me don't know the way. I have to go and take a look."

With that, he ran out of Lu Ran's room.

After returning to the hall, he made a subtle gesture to Zhang Lin who was standing aside.

Lu Ran sat alone in the room, staring at the half-empty glass of wine on the table.

He was in a bad mood.

Today is Shen Hongyuan's 50th birthday.

In his last life, he had carefully prepared gifts, but was informed that he could not attend the banquet.

Because the Shen family was not ready to announce his background to the outside world.

Shen Xingran invited Ding Wei just like now.

When he saw Ding Wei, Lu Ran was still very surprised, thinking that Shen Xingran was looking for someone to comfort himself.

Then, Ding Wei found an excuse to pull him back to the room and gave him another glass of wine.

Finally, Zhang Lin walked in.

In his last life, Lu Ran had not committed any crime against Zhang Lin, and he didn't know when he had provoked this young master.

Just when Zhang Lin took off his clothes, Shen Xingran brought his classmates to play with him at the right time.

So everyone at the whole banquet saw this joke.

Shen Hongyuan slapped him twice in front of everyone.

He scolded him for being a scum who seduced Young Master Zhang.

As Zhang Lin's fiancé, Lin Yi has been jealous of him ever since.

After the storm, Ding Wei cried and apologized to him, saying that she didn't know who had tampered with the wine.

He actually believed it.

Lu Ran was pinching walnuts with his bare hands while recalling the stupid plots he had experienced in his previous life.

The funniest thing was that Zhang Lin made fun of him for no reason.

Lin Yi chose to target him.

But later Zhang Lin said that he liked Shen Xingran.

Lin Yi just snorted and said that he wanted to compete fairly with Shen Xingran?

The more Lu Ran thought about it, the more he felt that he was an innocent.

Outside, Shen Hongyuan, the protagonist of the banquet, was standing in the center as the birthday god and delivering a speech.

Madam Shen stood on his right and Shen Xingran stood on his left.

They looked happy and harmonious.

Zhang Lin saw Ding Wei's gesture and wanted to take advantage of Shen Hongyuan's speech to go to Lu Ran's room.

But he couldn't leave for a while.

Because the banquet had already begun, there was a commotion outside the Shen family's gate.

The guests in the yard and near the entrance saw something, and even stopped listening to Shen Hongyuan's speech. They all stopped what they were doing and saluted outside.

"At the age of fifty, with a caring son and a wife who loves and supports me, I am confident that I can make the Shen family's business..."

A waiter ran over and whispered something in Shen Hongyuan's ear while he was giving a speech.

Shen Hongyuan paused.

He put the microphone away, and without saying anything, he pulled Mrs. Shen and Shen Xingran out.

Zhang Lin looked out and saw nothing.

He continued to walk into the corridor, but was grabbed by the hand by Mrs. Zhang who came rushing over.

Zhang Lin had no chance to struggle, as Mrs. Zhang held on tightly, and while leaning over to look, she kept muttering, "Oh no, why is this person here? Could it be that... he is going to change his partner to the Shen family this time?"

Zhang Lin didn't care about the noises in the family, and didn't understand what Mrs. Zhang was saying at all.

Mrs. Zhang was still muttering to herself, "It is said that he and Shen Xingyu have a friendship, and that illegitimate child..."

Seeing his mother so panicked, Zhang Lin was also a little puzzled.

He always thought that his Zhang family could walk around in Beijing City, but who was coming now to make his mother so nervous?

Zhang Lin leaned over to take a look again, and soon got the answer.

He saw an electric wheelchair.

The man in the wheelchair still had that cold and gloomy look.

His complexion was pale, but his shoulders and back were broad, and his aura was very strong. The lower half of his body, which was sitting in the wheelchair, was covered by a navy blue cashmere blanket, so that people could not see his injured leg.

Although he came to attend the fiftieth birthday of the head of the Shen family, this man did not dress up.

He was even late and interrupted the speech of the head of the Shen family.

But even so, no one present showed dissatisfaction.

Shen Hongyuan even showed surprise on his face.

This is Ji Min's status.

"Mr. Ji! It is an honor for you to be here."

Shen Hongyuan's face was almost glowing.

He stretched out his hand to shake hands with Ji Min.

Ji Min placed his almost pale finger bones on the dark blue velvet blanket on his knees, with no intention of lifting it.

Shen Hongyuan did not feel neglected at all, and took his hand back on his own.

Butler Chen, who was standing behind Ji Min, nodded at the right time and presented the gift he brought.

He smiled and said, "Sir, Mr. Shen has mentioned your birthday, but I was delayed on the road today. I hope you don't mind."

"No, no." Shen Hongyuan lowered his posture and walked inside to meet Ji Min and others.

The guests who had gathered followed him into the hall.

Ji Min's arrival was like throwing a stone into a deep pool.

It stirred up a wave of waves.

Everyone at the banquet, including Shen Hongyuan himself, was wondering why Ji Min came.

Recently, the Ji family had a big project and was looking for a partner.

Other companies have been fighting for this opportunity, and the Zhang family has made appointments with Ji Min countless times.

Now, Ji Min, who is cold and unsociable, actually took the initiative to come to the Shen family.

If you say he values ​​her

, he was late and ignored Shen Hongyuan.

If you say he doesn't value her... he even prepared a gift.

Everyone couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.

I haven't heard that Ji Min and Shen Xingyu have such a good relationship?

Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang were even more nervous, fearing that the duck in their mouths would fly away.

They asked around for information, but didn't get anything useful.

Finally, the two looked at each other, and an absurd guess came up.

Could it be that Ji Min...

was doing this for that little illegitimate child?
