Chapter 307 I really like the painting my future daughter-in-law prepared.
"You're not fat at all, you can just change into something else." Song Jingyi didn't want her to make herself suffer. "I'll have someone send over something similar."
"No need, there's not enough time, and my hair and makeup are already done." Shen Buyu stopped Song Jingyi from making a phone call. "Besides, I'm fine like this."
She took a breath, and her stomach shrunk back a little, making her look much better.
"Isn't that tiring?" Song Jingyi frowned, disagreeing. "You're not feeling well."
"Miss, Young Master Si has arrived," Mu Zi reminded her from the side.
Shen Buyu immediately stood up, brandishing a fist and threatening everyone in the room, "No one is allowed to tell anyone! This matter cannot be allowed to be known by Brother Jingxu! Otherwise, I'll beat you all up!"
She can accept her brothers knowing she's gained weight, but she absolutely cannot let her boyfriend know.
She cares about her image!
Shen Yanzhou: How can I subtly tell my sister that she's not threatening at all?
Shen Yunqi: This adorable little sister was raised by him.
Song Jingyi: Although my sister is very cute, this dress is an eyesore.
"What did you just say?" Si Jingxu pushed open the slightly ajar door, placed his right hand on the doorknob, and stood there stunned.
Little Feather wore a pale yellow cheongsam with osmanthus-shaped buttons at the collar and several light yellow osmanthus flowers embroidered on the right side of her waist, with three butterflies fluttering around the flowers.
The young woman has a curvaceous figure, and the tailor-made cheongsam accentuates her shapely figure.
Her long hair was styled in a bun at the back of her head, adorned with a custom-made osmanthus-shaped diamond hair clip.
The girl, who usually has a cute style, suddenly went for a pure and alluring look today.
Si Jingxu felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
He stood there stunned for a good ten seconds.
It wasn't until Shen Yanzhou coughed lightly that his thoughts were brought back to the present.
“It looks good,” he said.
Shen Buyu smiled silently. Good heavens, her clothes became tight as soon as she spoke.
"Is it time?" Shen Yanzhou stood up. "Let's go out."
"Let's go, Old Shen will get angry soon." Shen Yunqi also came over. He walked to his sister's side and asked in a low voice, "Really not going to change?"
His sister responded by glaring at him.
Song Jingyi did not want her to be embarrassed in front of Si Jingxu.
She stood up and took out a rectangular box. "It matches your outfit perfectly today."
"Another gift?" Shen Buyu took it, opened it, and looked surprised. "A jade pendant symbolizing peace and tranquility."
The top-grade imperial green jadeite pendant, with its two-carat diamond embellishing the pendant ring, appears much more exquisite.
"This is too..."
She wanted to say it was too expensive and refuse.
As a result, Song Jingyi didn't give her a chance at all, and directly picked up the chain and put it around her neck.
“It looks good,” he said.
Si Jingxu raised an eyebrow; his brother-in-law had chosen him.
He immediately pulled a box out of his suit pocket. "Coincidentally, Jingyi and I had the same idea."
The next second, an imperial green jadeite bracelet was placed on Shen Buyu's wrist.
She looked down and her heart sank.
Although she had never bought these items, it didn't mean she was unaware of their value.
The two items she owns now add up to nearly 200 million yuan.
"Why don't we pick them first? I don't even know whether to step with my left foot or my right foot first."
"Then let's go together." Shen Yunqi laughed twice. "Let's go, we'll have finished eating soon."
"Don't forget, the eldest daughter of the Shen family is also giving a gift to the best lady of the night today," Shen Yanzhou reminded her. "It looks great, Buyu, wear it."
I used to think that my younger sister was too young to be suited to colorful jewelry.
Looking at her now, her temperament and appearance are enough to overshadow jade.
He will buy lots of jade and jewelry for his sister in the future.
Shen Buyu took two steps, then suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to inhale.
She quickly looked up at Si Jingxu, who was discussing the auction with Jingyi, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, he didn't notice.
Then, take a breath.
It's just a pity that she can't eat anything delicious today.
Waaaaah.
The group arrived at the banquet center, where the host had already finished the opening remarks.
Shen Zhiye and Lan Xinyan smiled and invited the three children to come up on stage.
All the guests craned their necks to see the eldest daughter of the Shen family, and some recognized her – it was the adopted daughter of the Shen family who went up.
"Today, we will select the most elegant lady from among the ladies present. Miss Shen Buyu, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, has specially prepared a painting by the famous calligrapher Zhang Daqian as a gift for us."
After the host said this, look at the attitudes of Shen Zhiye and Lan Xinyan on the stage.
It became clear instantly.
Where did this scandal involving a wealthy family come from?
It means the adopted daughter changed her surname and became her biological daughter.
That's so boring.
All those days of anticipation were for nothing.
"Chen Buyu, is that the adopted daughter from before?" a woman asked the man next to her.
"What's with all this talk about adopted daughters?" Ling Huiwen turned gracefully to clear her up. "Aren't those you've raised since they were little your own flesh and blood?"
The man clearly recognized Mrs. Si.
He nodded and bowed in agreement, "That's right, that's right. We raised them from a baby to adulthood, so they're definitely family."
Ling Huiwen nodded with satisfaction, "The elegant lady voted for me. I really like the painting my future daughter-in-law prepared."
“…”
Oh no, the Shen family's adopted daughter has not only become the eldest daughter, but also the Si family's future daughter-in-law.
The items he wears on his wrist and around his neck add up to nearly 200 million.
What kind of fate does someone have?
Ling Huiwen, who has always disdained socializing with those below her station, dragged Si Chengli around most of the venue.
“If you like Zhang Daqian, I’ll buy it for you.” Si Chengli brought Ling Huiwen a glass of water. “You look tired.”
“You don’t understand,” Ling Huiwen took a sip of water from his hand, “When Bu Yu stands there, all the parents with eligible boys below have their eyes shining with envy. I have to give them a piece of my mind first.”
It's already difficult enough for her son to find love; if there's any more interference, she might never hear her little darling call her "Mom" again.
"Alright, I'll go for a stroll too. You can rest for a bit." Si Chengli settled his wife in, then picked up his wine glass and left.
"Oh my, little sister, your dress is so beautiful today." Long Yu had been wanting to compliment Shen Buyu on stage since she first saw her, and only now did she finally get a chance to speak to her.
"Thank you, Brother Longyu. You were very...impressive today too," Shen Buyu complimented with a smile.
"What's so impressive about him? He's just an idiot," He Run said, dressed in a long robe, looking like a refined gentleman, holding a paper fan, and looking Long Yu up and down with utter disdain. "He's dressed like a security captain."
"Are you out of your mind? I'm a warlord!" Long Yu shook his cloak. "The same style as Zhang Zuolin's, what do you know!"
“You’re using the same kind of foul language as Zhang Zuolin,” He Run moved a little further away from him. “Hide away quickly, don’t let him kidnap you and make you his concubine.”
"He Run, you son of a bitch, I can't even be bothered to talk about you, you who loves to write pretentious poems and wear glasses. What are you pretending to be, a patriot?"
He Run straightened the white scarf around his neck. "Patriotism doesn't need to be faked. Long live the motherland!"
