Chapter 265: The Coming-of-Age Ceremony for Two Sisters
It was already mid-October when the provincial team roster was finalized, and within two days the coming-of-age ceremony for sisters Sheng Beibei and Sheng Yuanyuan was coming.
Jiang Lanxue started preparing for the banquet after returning from Sheng Beibei.
In order to formally introduce Sheng Beibei to people in the circle and let everyone know that even if she had been accidentally lost for more than ten years, Sheng Beibei was still the apple of her and Sheng Chongren's eye, and no one should think of bullying Beibei again.
The banquet was very grand. Basically all the important people in the circle received invitations, and those who did not have invitations also tried their best to sneak into the venue.
The Sheng family is already one of the top wealthy families in Beijing, and they will most likely form a powerful alliance with the Gu family in the future. They are truly an existence that we can only look up to.
Especially Sheng Beibei herself is a rare genius. Whether it is classical dance or chemistry competition, she is at a level that can stand on the international stage. She is also so beautiful. It's so fucking amazing!
Such a powerful boss, of course he has to come over to show off his face.
Before the banquet even started, the Sheng family's house was already packed with guests coming and going in an endless stream.
Sheng Chongren and Jiang Lanxue, as the hosts of the banquet, greeted the guests at the door. Their faces were filled with bright smiles, and they were sincerely happy that their two daughters could grow up safely.
For the children's coming-of-age ceremony, Jiang Lanxue specially customized handmade cheongsams from her hometown Suzhou, which is known as the "hometown of splendid embroidery". The cheongsams adopt Suzhou embroidery, one of the four famous embroidery styles. The colors are exquisite and dazzling, which makes her look more noble and elegant.
The layout of the banquet venue, Sheng Chongren and Jiang Lanxue's attire and expressions were enough to show that they attached great importance to this banquet. People tactfully sent their blessings.
"Mr. Sheng, Mrs. Sheng, congratulations."
"Yes, both daughters are excellent. You are so blessed."
Jiang Lanxue smiled and invited them in: "Welcome, welcome, please come in."
Gu Yanchuan arrived at the Sheng family first without waiting for his old man. He smiled and greeted Sheng Chongren and Jiang Lanxue: "Hello, uncle and aunt!"
Jiang Lanxue has now changed her opinion of this silly boy, and said with a smile: "Go in first, Beibei will be down soon."
"Okay~" Gu Yanchuan happily walked into the venue, waiting for his little girl to make a beautiful appearance.
Just then, an uninvited guest came to the banquet.
It was Sheng Beibei’s former adoptive brother Chi Jiangmo.
The Chi family and the Sheng family had such an ugly quarrel, it goes without saying that the Sheng family would not send an invitation letter to the Chi family. Chi Jiangmo still learned about Sheng Beibei's coming-of-age ceremony from other people.
He felt extremely guilty. In all these years in the Chi family, Sheng Beibei had never had a real birthday.
If the Chi family had not taken Beibei away, perhaps she would have been found by the Sheng family long ago. She would have been a rich girl raised by her parents instead of being looked down upon in the Chi family.
The Chi family even tried to completely cut off her possibility of returning to the Sheng family and push her into the fire pit alive.
What did Beibei do wrong? Why did all this happen?
Chi Jiangmo was lingering not far from the banquet, not having the courage to take another step closer.
As an older brother, has he done anything for Beibei? I always subconsciously wronged Beibei just to make up for Mingchu.
He really feels ashamed of Beibei.
No, he is not Beibei's brother at all.
Jiang Lanxue noticed Chi Jiangmo. She tugged at Sheng Chongren's sleeve and motioned him to look in Chi Jiangmo's direction.
"Chongren, look over there."
"Is it him?"
Sheng Chongren is very unhappy with the Chi family and wishes to bankrupt them. The reason why the Chi family can breathe a sigh of relief is not only because of Chi Mingchu's halo as the heroine, but also because of Chi Jiangmo.
Although Chi Jiangmo eventually chose his family, it is an indisputable fact that he took care of Sheng Beibei when she was young. Without his secret help, Sheng Beibei's situation would have been even more difficult.
Maybe he won't live to see the day he'll be reunited with the Sheng family.
The Chi family was eventually inherited by Chi Jiangmo.
Sheng Chongren gave the Chi family a chance to survive out of Chi Jiangmo's consideration, otherwise he would have fought the Chi family to the death.
Noticing the Sheng couple's stares, Chi Jiangmo turned around in a hurry. Just as he was about to get in the car and flee the scene, Sheng Chongren stopped him.
"Jiang Mo!"
Chi Jiangmo stood still, not daring to move. The Chi family has done so many wrong things to Beibei, Director Sheng should hate him to death, right? Maybe they'll even kick him out. He deserves all this.
Bang!
A hand was placed on Chi Jiangmo's shoulder, and Chi Jiangmo lowered his head, pretending to accept being beaten and scolded.
"Jiang Mo, now that you're here, why don't you come in?" Sheng Chongren patted his shoulder.
Chi Jiangmo turned his head in disbelief and said anxiously, "Sheng, Director Sheng."
Sheng Chongren nodded to him.
Chi Jiangmo's eyes flashed with tears, and he followed Sheng Chongren into the venue.
The incident of the real and fake daughter caused such a big fuss some time ago that almost the whole country knew about it. Naturally, the people present recognized that Chi Jiangmo was Sheng Beibei's former adoptive brother.
"Isn't this Sheng Beibei's former adoptive brother Chi Jiangmo?"
"That's him. Why is he here for Sheng Beibei's coming-of-age ceremony?"
"Have you forgotten? Chi Jiangmo secretly gave Sheng Beibei his living expenses for more than ten years."
"That's right, Chi Jiangmo isn't that bad."
"Tsk tsk, what a good bachelor, but he is dragged down by his conscienceless parents and sister."
"Yeah, now girls are avoiding him."
"I'm afraid I'll be single for the rest of my life."
"That is to say, my grandmother, father, mother, and sister are all black-hearted people. Who would dare to marry them?"
…
Chi Jiangmo had long been accustomed to the pointing and criticizing of others. What these guests said was considered good. There were many more unpleasant words on the Internet, and this was what he deserved.
If he had stood up bravely to stop his family from hurting Beibei, the Chi family would never have ended up in this situation.
After Sheng Chongren sent him into the venue, he continued to greet guests at the door. Another person who did not receive an invitation came shamelessly.
The person who came was Ji Xiuci.
There is no other way. We have to maintain good relations with the Sheng family. Otherwise, what will happen if the Sheng family joins the Gu family to deal with the Ji family in the future?
Ji Xiuci walked up to Sheng Chongren and shook his hand in a familiar manner: "Haha, Mr. Sheng, congratulations."
Sheng Chongren laughed loudly and said, "Hey, President Ji, welcome, welcome. Please come in."
Guests are welcome. Can we really kick them out?
Besides, this man is the current husband of the biological mother of that silly boy Gu Yanchuan, so it’s better not to fall out with him.
Ji Xiuci just strode in, not feeling embarrassed at all.
"Why is he here?" Jiang Lanxue was a little unhappy.
She has not forgotten that this man's son almost caused her precious daughter to be branded as a mistress.
"this……"
Before Sheng Chongren could answer, a car stopped and Su Man, wearing an exquisite evening dress, got out of the car and slowly walked towards them.
Sheng Chongren was puzzled. Why didn't the couple come together?
Standing in front of them, Su Man said with a smile: "Mr. Sheng, Mrs. Sheng, congratulations."
"Mrs. Ji, please come in." Jiang Lanxue naturally let Su Man in.
After all, this person may very well be the future mother-in-law, although her relationship with Gu Yanchuan is a bit stiff.
