"Dad, this is my good friend Beibei." Sheng Yuanyuan couldn't wait to introduce Chi Beibei to Sheng Chongren.
Sheng Chongren came to the Chi family this time because of Chi Beibei. Since his precious daughter's best friend was holding a banquet at home, he naturally had to come and show his support.
When he saw Chi Beibei's face clearly, Sheng Chongren was surprised for a moment, and the hand holding the goblet froze.
Chi Beibei noticed his abnormality and greeted him with a little trepidation: "Uncle Sheng, hello."
"Hello, Beibei." Sheng Chongren put the wine glass aside. "Yuanyuan often mentions you at home." He still looked a little dazed.
"Dad, how can you be distracted?" Sheng Yuanyuan felt that Sheng Chongren was not concentrating, and pouted and acted coquettishly.
Sheng Chongren murmured, "I was thinking Beibei looked familiar."
"Beibei and Yuanyuan have similar eyebrows and eyes." Xie Ziyu said, "I was also scared when I first saw Beibei, but if you look closely, there are still big differences."
Sheng Chongren looked back and forth at their eyes for a while and sighed, "Indeed, your eyes are very similar." But their personalities and temperaments are completely different. It is hard to imagine that they became good friends in such a short time.
"We are good sisters." Sheng Yuanyuan returned to Chi Beibei and took her hand, "It proves that we are really destined to be together."
Perhaps because Sheng Yuanyuan often mentioned Chi Beibei at home, Sheng Chongren had a good impression of this child the first time he saw Chi Beibei.
"Beibei is obviously a good kid with excellent academic performance." Sheng Chongren invited, "If you are free, you can come to my house to visit Yuanyuan."
"Okay, thank you uncle." Chi Beibei agreed somewhat embarrassedly.
Sheng Chongren has been traveling around the country doing charity work for the past decade or so, and he is rarely seen at banquets within the circle. Some people who hope to have business dealings with the Sheng family took this opportunity to come and talk to him.
Sheng Yuanyuan was not interested in business matters, so she simply dragged Chi Beibei out for dessert. Gu Yanchuan took his good friend Xie Ziyu to a corner to chat, hoping to persuade him to meet Chi Beibei's aunt.
"Beibei, I'm going to tell you in secret." Sheng Yuanyuan approached Chi Beibei mysteriously.
Chi Beibei thought she had some secret she wanted to share with her, so she pricked up her ears, but she heard her whisper, "The desserts here are not as delicious as the ones my mom and you make."
After saying this, she raised her little head and looked to the side, afraid that others would hear her.
"You." Chi Beibei burst out laughing, "Yuanyuan, why are you so cute?"
"It's the truth." Sheng Yuanyuan stuck out her tongue.
Although he said it wasn't tasty, his mouth kept moving and he quickly finished the small piece of dessert.
Chi Beibei teased, "Didn't you say it wasn't as delicious as what Auntie and I made?"
Sheng Yuanyuan tilted her head and thought for a moment: "Well, it's okay."
Speaking of desserts, Chi Beibei thought of the cakes that Aunt Sheng had asked Yuanyuan to bring her before, and asked curiously: "Yuanyuan, why don't you see Aunt Sheng?"
"My mother is feeling unwell and is resting at home."
Chi Beibei looked concerned: "Auntie, are you okay? Have you seen a doctor?"
"It's okay, Beibei." Sheng Yuanyuan's tone was a little lighter, "It's just an old problem. The family doctor is here. Just take a rest and you'll be fine."
"That's good." After making sure that Aunt Sheng was fine, Chi Beibei breathed a sigh of relief, "Can you tell me what the problem is?"
Sheng Yuanyuan's expression became visibly lonely: "Beibei, I'm not an only child."
"Hmm?" Isn't Sheng Yuanyuan the only daughter of the Sheng family?
"I originally had an older sister, but she passed away when she was very young." Sheng Yuanyuan's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked so pitiful.
Hearing the word "not here", Chi Beibei thought that Sheng Yuanyuan's sister had unfortunately died, and hurriedly hugged Sheng Yuanyuan in his arms: "I'm sorry, Yuanyuan, I shouldn't have reminded you of these sad things."
Sheng Yuanyuan stood up and wiped her eyes. "My mother missed my sister so much that she was a little depressed, so she couldn't come. Beibei, don't worry."
Chi Beibei also felt sad and didn't know what to say, so he could only accompany Yuanyuan silently. She seemed to understand why Aunt Sheng passed away shortly after Sheng Yuanyuan in the original book.
God is so cruel to Aunt Sheng, having experienced the pain of losing daughters twice.
Fortunately, Sheng Yuanyuan was quickly attracted by the new dessert. She walked over, took a piece, and waved it in front of Chi Beibei mischievously: "Beibei, there is mango on it, you can't eat it."
Chi Beibei smiled helplessly, and felt relieved when she saw Sheng Yuanyuan became happy again.
"That's a bit strange. Aren't you allergic to mangoes?" Sheng Yuanyuan tilted her head as she looked at the dessert she had taken a bite of. "Why do you use mangoes in your family's banquet? Aren't you afraid that you'll eat some?"
She could feel that Chi Mingchu seemed to be hostile to Beibei, but Uncle Chi and Aunt Chi should love Beibei, right?
Chi Beibei didn't care: "It's nothing, Yuanyuan, you can't let everyone stop eating mangoes just because of me, right?"
“But…” What if the chef accidentally gets mango residue into other food? It would be very dangerous if Beibei accidentally eats it.
"It's okay, Yuanyuan, I'll be fine." Chi Beibei didn't want Sheng Yuanyuan to know about her conflict with the Chi family. She was so innocent and kind, she shouldn't be disgusted by such trivial things.
"Okay." Sheng Yuanyuan was still a little worried and reminded, "Then you have to be careful."
"Yeah." Chi Beibei pinched her face because her hands were itchy. This time Sheng Yuanyuan did not struggle.
Just when Chi Beibei couldn't help but stretch out her evil hand again, Gu Yanchuan came over with Xie Ziyu.
Xie Ziyu finally made up her mind: "Beibei, could you please take me to meet your aunt?"
"Of course." Chi Beibei was also very happy about Xie Ziyu's decision. He was a rare musical genius, and she really couldn't bear to see him bury his talent like this.
On the other side, Chi Beibei's aunt Yao Yao was looking around boredly. Her husband, the second master of the Xia family, hugged her and apologized in her ear: "Wife, are you too bored? Can you bear it for a while? For my sister's sake, let's wait until Mingchu comes out before leaving, okay? I'll take you to a candlelight dinner."
Yao Yao nodded reluctantly. Seeing this, the second master of the Xia family was very happy. He didn't care if there was anyone around and kissed her on the face: "Wife, you are so nice."
Yao Yao ruthlessly pushed his face away with her hand: "Hubby, why don't you see Beibei?"
