After the host of the banquet finished his speech, it was time for the guests to move around freely. People gathered in twos and threes, discussing enthusiastically the marriage between the Ji and Chi families.
After filling her stomach, Sheng Yuanyuan felt sleepy. She rubbed her eyes and found Chi Beibei on the sofa in the corner: "Beibei, I have to go back first."
As she spoke, Sheng Yuanyuan yawned.
Seeing her sleepy face, Chi Beibei was a little worried and couldn't help asking a few more questions: "Are you going back with your uncle? Did the driver come to pick you up?"
Sheng Yuanyuan sat down next to Chi Beibei and rubbed her shoulder: "I will go back with Dad."
Over there, Sheng Chongren was saying goodbye to Chi Feng.
Chi Feng naturally wanted to keep him: "Mr. Sheng, why don't you stay a little longer? There is still some good wine left that you haven't tasted yet."
"No, Mr. Chi, my wife is not feeling well, and I am worried about her. I want to go back and see her as soon as possible."
Hearing that Director Sheng's wife was unwell, Chi Feng hurriedly said, "Oh, this is a big deal. Director Chi should go back and take good care of Madam Ling."
"Thank you Mr. Chi for your hospitality. I am so sorry."
"No, no, Mr. Chi, you are too polite."
After saying that, Sheng Chongren walked towards Sheng Yuanyuan. Sheng Yuanyuan leaned on Chi Beibei and was unwilling to get up.
Sheng Chongren gently pushed her: "Yuanyuan, let's go home."
Seeing this, Chi Beibei stood up with Sheng Yuanyuan and handed Sheng Yuanyuan, who was nodding her head due to sleepiness, to Sheng Chongren.
Gu Yanchuan got to know Sheng Chongren through Xie Ziyu. It was not easy to ignore his elders, so he followed Chi Beibei and stood up.
Sheng Yuanyuan leaned on Sheng Chongren's shoulder and refused to leave. Sheng Chongren looked at her lovingly and pinched her nose: "Little lazy pig, go back to the car and sleep."
Sheng Yuanyuan opened her sleepy eyes, and when she saw that the person in front of her was her father, she pouted and said, "Dad, why are you pinching my nose?"
Sheng Chongren laughed a few times and looked at Chi Beibei and Sheng Yuanyuan: "Then I'll take Yuanyuan back first."
"Uncle, be careful on the road."
"Take care, uncle."
Chi Beibei watched them leave. Sheng Yuanyuan had sobered up a little and was talking to Sheng Chongren. Sheng Chongren listened attentively and carefully protected her from being touched by people around her.
Xueqiu sat on Chi Beibei's shoulder and suddenly said, "Host, if Sheng Yuanyuan's sister was still alive, Sheng Chongren would love her the same way, right?"
"Yeah, it's such a pity. I heard from Yuanyuan that she passed away when she was very young."
Gu Yanchuan had already sat back down. Seeing that she had been standing there in a trance, he couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Bei, what are you thinking about?"
"Ah? Nothing." Yuanyuan's sister should be older than them. Gu Yanchuan probably wouldn't be very clear about her affairs. It's better not to mention such sad things.
Chi Beibei returned to her seat, picked up the orange juice on the table, lowered her head, and took a sip.
Gu Yanchuan could feel that she seemed to be in a low mood. Tonight was Chi Mingchu's welcoming banquet, and the Chi family was busy preparing for her. He thought the girl was sad about it.
Considering that Chi Mingchu had slandered the little girl twice online and reported her for cheating at school, it can be seen that Chi Mingchu has deep hostility towards the little girl. I think Chi Feng and the others will also stand on the side of their own biological daughter.
He could especially understand the feeling of being treated as an outsider.
"Xiao Bei, it's not worth it to be sad for those who don't care about you." This is the truth the little girl made him understand, and he would not torture himself for them anymore.
He needs to become stronger so that he can protect the little girl who loves him so much.
Chi Beibei looked up when she heard that, and saw that Gu Yanchuan had rarely put away the lazy and rebellious look on his face, and was looking at her very seriously.
After going over what he said in her mind, Chi Beibei quickly understood. She was a little amused and helpless. Why did both he and Xueqiu feel that they couldn't let her go?
She still felt warm in her heart that the villain boss cared about her so much: "Thank you, Yanchuan."
Seeing a smile on Chi Beibei's face again, Gu Yanchuan stopped persuading her.
"Xiaobei, I'm going to the bathroom."
"Just turn left over there." It was the first time Gu Yanchuan came to the Chi family. Chi Beibei was afraid that he didn't know the way, so she pointed him in the direction.
"Xiaobei, then you wait for me here." As if afraid that Chi Beibei would leave, Gu Yanchuan took two steps and then turned back.
"Okay." Chi Beibei smiled and pushed him, "Go quickly."
Gu Yanchuan then walked towards the bathroom with his hands in his pockets.
Chi Beibei shook his head helplessly. Just as his hand touched the unfinished glass of orange juice, a shadow covered his eyes.
She looked up and saw Mrs. Ji, Su Man, standing in front of her with a bad look on her face: "Chi Beibei, you are really capable!"
"What is Mrs. Ji saying? I don't understand." Chi Beibei put the orange juice back to its place without getting up. This person came up and scolded her for no reason. She didn't need to respect her as an elder anymore.
Fortunately, Su Man did not want to make a big deal out of the matter. She sat on the sofa angrily and said hatefully: "Chi Beibei, I underestimated you before." I thought she was a little lamb that was easy to control, but she didn't expect her to be a vixen.
"Just say whatever you want to say."
Su Man said in a low voice, almost gritting her teeth: "I warn you, it's best to stay away from my son."
It turned out to be for Ji Youli. Chi Beibei was really impressed.
It was Ji Youli who had been nagging her for her nonsense, but this person was actually trying to put the blame on her: "Can you please take care of Ji Youli? I'm not interested in him at all."
Su Man was so angry that she was shaking after hearing this: "You are pretending to be stupid! I'm not talking about Ji Youli." She didn't want to care whether Ji Youli and Chi Beibei were having an affair or not.
"Who is that?" Chi Beibei and Ji Youli used to be an engaged couple, but in fact they were worse than strangers. She didn't really know much about the Ji family. She only vaguely knew that Su Man seemed to be her stepmother and had been married to Ji Xiuci for at least ten years.
Chi Beibei seldom attended banquets before, and her only "friend" was Zhao Kexin. She had no place to ask and was too lazy to research, so she knew even less about Su Man's affairs.
Is Suman talking about the child she had with her ex-husband? No way? Su Man looked so young that she thought she was only in her thirties, and Ji Xiuci was her first marriage.
Fortunately, Suman gave the answer.
"I'm talking about Gu Yanchuan!" When saying the last three words, Su Man emphasized her tone and her body shook even more violently, as if she was very angry.
"You are Gu Yanchuan's mother!" Chi Beibei widened her eyes, a thought flashed through her mind, and she quickly grasped it.
It seems like I understand why Gu Yanchuan regards Ji Youli as his mortal enemy.
"Chi Beibei, I hope you have self-awareness and stop bothering Gu Yanchuan." Although Gu Yanchuan was just a shame to her, he was not worthy of Chi Beibei, an adopted daughter who had been broken off.
