Chapter 164 Have you met him?
Lan Xinyan had finalized the menu with the kitchen long ago, and now she went to the kitchen for another look.
Firstly, the last time I went to Italy, I was treated very well.
Secondly, this person is, after all, the son of Shen Zhiye's friend. If he makes a mistake, her husband will lose face.
Yan Buyu followed behind her like a little shadow, "Mom, can I have an ice cream after dinner?"
Lan Xinyan smiled and touched her daughter's face. She's already twenty years old, and she still knows to ask an adult before eating ice cream. How can she be so well-behaved?
"You can eat it. Just drink a glass of warm water afterward."
Without saying a word, Yan hugged Lan Xinyan tightly, saying, "Mom, I love you so much."
"Yan Buyu, what are you doing?" Shen Yunqi and Shen Yanzhou came to find them and saw their younger sister acting coquettishly. "Do you want ice cream again?"
"Don't say anything," Yan Buyu glared at Shen Yunqi, "Mom already agreed to let me eat it."
Shen Yunqi chuckled, "Mom, you're letting her eat it? She ate three this afternoon."
Lan Xinyan laughed and pulled Yan Buyu off her. "Then you can't eat anymore, baby. Your stomach will feel uncomfortable if you eat too much."
Shen Yanzhou smiled gently.
An ice cream can bring about such a heartwarming scene.
That's wonderful, all of this is because of silence.
His sister.
"Alright, it's almost time. Let's go to the living room." Lan Xinyan checked the time and led the children out.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Song Jingyi stepped into the Shen family's villa on time.
The moment Shen Yanzhou, Shen Yunqi, and Yan Buyu saw him, all three of them were stunned.
Shen Zhiye and Lan Xinyan, standing in front, didn't see the children's reactions and greeted him with smiles.
"When did you arrive in Beijing? Why didn't you let your uncle know beforehand so I could make some arrangements for you?" Shen Zhiye said with a smile.
"Uncle Chen, you're too kind. I only came on a whim, and it's already a great inconvenience that I'm here." Song Jingyi gestured for Chen Mo to bring in the gifts.
"You silly child, you're just coming home for a simple meal, why did you bring a gift?" Lan Xinyan said gently.
"They're just some little trinkets, Uncle Shen and Aunt Lan, please don't find them offensive."
After speaking with the two elders, Song Jingyi looked at the three people standing behind him.
Their gaze finally settled on Yan Buyu.
Today I wore a gradient light purple dress, with the color gradually darkening from top to bottom.
Adorned with tiny rhinestones, standing under the light, she resembles a morning glory glistening with dew.
Unbelievably beautiful.
“You haven’t met my children yet,” Shen Zhiye said, leading Song Jingyi inside. “This is my eldest son, Shen Yanzhou. He’s the one who makes all the decisions in the company now.”
Shen Yanzhou was the quickest to recover. As if discussing business as usual, he smiled and nodded, "Hello."
Song Jingyi extended his hand, "Hello, Song Jingyi."
Shen Zhiye then pointed to Shen Yunqi, "This is my second son, Shen Yunqi. He's at the company with his older brother right now."
Shen Yunqi extended his hand. "Hello."
Song Jingyi: "Hello."
Finally, they looked at Yan Buyu.
When Shen Zhiye introduced her, he smiled brightly, "This is my daughter, Yan Buyu. She's still young and in school."
Song Jingyi looked at her and extended his hand in a gentlemanly manner. "Hello, Yan Buyu. I didn't expect to see you again so soon, kid."
Shen Zhiye and Lan Xinyan asked in unison, puzzled, "Have you met before?"
Shen Yanzhou spoke up to explain for his sister, "At the banquet before, it was Mr. Song who noticed something was wrong with the juice and didn't let Buyu drink it, otherwise it would have caused a disaster."
Shen Zhiye and Lan Xinyan felt lingering fear whenever they thought about what happened that day.
"Jingyi, thank you so much. I never expected that you kids would be so destined to meet." Shen Zhiye's thanks were completely genuine.
Song Jingyi chuckled, "Uncle Shen, as you said, it was fate. That day I passed by the Shen Family Hotel and knew it was your property. I wanted to go in and take a look, but I happened to run into your group's gathering. It was just a small favor."
Song Jingyi was talking nonsense with a straight face.
“Mr. Song’s small act of kindness is very important to us,” Shen Yanzhou raised his glass. “I have been wanting to contact Mr. Song to thank him in person ever since that night. My sister can’t drink, so as her older brother, I’m toasting you on her behalf.”
Can't I drink alcohol?
Song Jingyi glanced at him but remained silent.
The child hasn't said a word yet, which is quite like her personality.
"Don't call me Mr. Song anymore. I should have revealed my identity that day, but something came up and I didn't have time," Song Jingyi said, putting on a very good show, speaking as familiarly as an old friend. "Just call me Jingyi."
Since he had already said that, Shen Yanzhou could only go along with him and say, "Jingyi, I'll toast you."
Song Jingyi raised his glass and clinked it against Shen Yanzhou's.
Shen Yunqi also held up a cup, saying, "Mr. Song, thank you."
Song Jingyi had a good impression of him; he was quick, accurate, and ruthless in his attacks. It was just that he hadn't trained properly, otherwise he would have been a formidable fighter. "Yunqi, you are truly a good brother who dotes on your sister."
Yan Buyu remained silent, only obediently smiling and nodding.
On the surface, she appeared calm and collected, but her mind was in turmoil.
So, he knew from the beginning whose family he belonged to, which is why he offered his help.
That makes sense.
No one is kind to someone for no reason.
He must be helping me because of my uncle.
So, was Wu Xiaoyang's death related to him?
To this day, the incident has been classified as an accident, and I heard that Wu Xiaoyang's family has come and taken the body away.
There was no commotion.
The port city remains quiet and undisturbed.
The matter seemed to have ended quietly.
Is it because of him?
Or was it really just an accident?
Song Jingyi could feel Yan Buyu's probing gaze.
He didn't look back, letting her scrutinize him.
Kids are naturally curious, that's normal.
He spent the whole evening chatting about everyday things with Shen Zhiye and Lan Xinyan, and occasionally talking about work with Shen Yanzhou.
Shen Yanzhou discovered that his judgment of Song Jingyi at the time was slightly off.
At the time, he thought that Song Jingyi was involved in organized crime.
However, after just a few casual words, it became clear that Song Jingyi was a very shrewd, perceptive, and intelligent person.
No wonder he was able to take over Song Shuchen's entire business when he was only twenty years old, and double the business size in just a few years.
He built his own business empire.
He went to Italy with them back then; otherwise, Beijing would probably be a completely different place now.
"What does the little girl study?" Song Jingyi chatted for a few minutes, then asked Shen Yunqi before turning the conversation to Yan Buyu.
It was just a normal polite exchange.
“I’m learning French,” Yan Buyu said, uttering his first words of the evening. “Thank you for what happened that day, Mr. Song.”
Song Jingyi was not satisfied with this title, but he didn't say anything.
“French is great, people who learn French are all smart.” Song Jingyi paused for a second after saying that, “If my sister were still alive, she would be the same age as you.”
