Chapter 322 Mr. Xiao’s Birthday Banquet
Once again, it was snatched away by Shen Qianxue.
Shen Wan's eyes darkened.
My mind involuntarily thought of my past life.
Whether in her past life or this life, she has never experienced the warmth of family love.
If the Xiao family really cared about her, they would not have come to recognize her if there was no fake Shen Qianxue in the previous life.
Whether it was the Shen family or the Xiao family, she no longer had any expectations.
Shen Wan said coldly: “Things that can be easily taken away by others do not belong to me in the first place.”
If you can't grasp something, it's useless to even reach out.
She deeply understands this sentence.
Xiao Jing advised: "But the old man doesn't know that you are my aunt's biological daughter. Don't you want to fight for it?"
Chen Wan said with a smile: "If I were the one expected, you would not have disowned me when you first knew my identity."
Xiao Jing suddenly became anxious: "I, I just don't understand you for the time being, so I tested you, sister, I was wrong, you——"
Chen Wan directly hung up and said to the two of them expressionlessly, "Don't disturb my peace because of the Xiao family's affairs."
Yeats hesitated to speak.
Ye Yin had no choice but to hold her back and said apologetically, "Master Shen, I'm so sorry to bother you. We'll leave now."
Not long after the two left, the doorbell rang again.
Shen Wan thought that the two had come back again and ignored them until a message from Li Hanting came on his phone.
It was he who asked if she was home.
Shen Wan opened the door and let him in.
"Grandpa is going to attend a banquet of an old friend in a few days. He plans to give him a big gift. Grandpa would like to ask you to go over and help to bless it." Li Hanting stated his purpose straight away.
Seeing that Chen Wan didn't say anything, he thought she didn't want to go.
"If you are busy, forget it. I will ask Grandpa to find another master to consecrate it."
Chen Wan smiled faintly: "Just a light, I'm free."
"So let's go there now?"
"good."
Imperial capital, Li family.
When Mr. Li heard that Shen Wan agreed to come, he was waiting on the tarmac early.
He couldn't help but exclaim when he saw the two people coming down from the helicopter and walking side by side.
"A handsome man and a beautiful woman, even their heights are so well matched, wow!"
Uncle Li nodded his head: "I think so too! Master Shen and Young Master are really a perfect match!"
It's a pity that the young master just doesn't understand and doesn't take the initiative.
When Shen Wan walked over, she saw that Mr. Li and Uncle Li had the same expression and were looking at her with silly smiles.
"Mr. Li, Uncle Li, why are you looking at me like that?"
Old Master Li coughed lightly: "Haha, Wanwan, you're here, come in and sit down!"
After exchanging pleasantries with Mr. Li for a while, Shen Wan asked what the item to be consecrated was.
Mr. Li took her to the antique collection room and asked her to choose a gift.
"My old friend doesn't like many things, but his favorite is jade carving. I have prepared some national treasure-level jade carvings for you to choose from. After choosing and choosing, I still can't choose the best one, so I have to trouble Wanwan to help me."
On the table are jade carvings such as "Moonlight Bodhisattva", "Autumn Words in Jiangnan", "Mountain King's Night Patrol", and "Ten Scenes of Suzhou".
Mr. Li said in distress: "I am overwhelmed by the choices and don't know which one is the best."
"This old friend of mine just turned eighty."
"At your old age, I wish you a long life and good health. It would be best to give you a lucky charm." Shen Wan's eyes fell on a stone in the corner.
She picked it up and took a look. "The raw white jade has a gentle and smooth texture. If it can be made into a white jade peace buckle and then carved with a protective body and mind sutra, it will help to bless peace and increase blessings."
Mr. Li's eyes lit up, "White jade peace locket, this one will do!"
"Wanwan, can you carve?"
Shen Wan smiled faintly: "I will."
Li Hanting was slightly surprised.
She seemed to be omnipotent and could always give him different surprises.
"But time is running out. Will two days be enough?" Mr. Li asked worriedly.
“Two days is no problem, leave it to me.” Shen Wan agreed immediately.
With Uncle Li's preparation, the carving tools were quickly ready.
Shen Wan buried his head and worked.
Since it was a gift from Grandpa Li to an old friend, she would definitely not treat it carelessly.
She carved for two days and two nights.
The raw white jade was polished into the shape of a peace locket, and the Heart Sutra for body protection was engraved on it using a microscope, and then it was consecrated and blessed.
When she came out of the studio, Mr. Li was already ready.
Seeing the meticulously carved pure and flawless white jade peace locket, with strong and vigorous overall carving lines and the protective body and mind meridians surrounding it, Grandpa Li loved it very much.
"If I could find a suitable gift right away, I would be reluctant to give this peace locket away."
Mr. Li was very pleased with it when he held it in his hand.
"By the way, Wanwan, there will be many older people attending this dinner. Do you want to go with me to take a look? Maybe we can find out the whereabouts of your master."
Chen Wan's eyes lit up when he heard the word "Master", but thinking of his Master's free-to-come-and-go nature, he politely declined.
"Master, when he wants to show up, he will naturally come back to find me. If he doesn't want to, it will be useless for me to force him."
Master said that there is a connection between people.
People who are destined to meet will meet no matter how far apart they are.
People who are not destined to be together will eventually part ways no matter how close they are now.
Fate is destined.
Mr. Li looked regretful.
The guests at this birthday party were all from the most prestigious families in the country, and he wanted to bring Shen Wan and his grandson to attend.
Since Chen Wan is not going...
Mr. Li's eyes fell on Li Hanting.
Li Hanting refused without thinking: "I'm busy."
Uncle Li winked at the side and said, "Old man, it would be boring for the young master to go there. Those daughters of noble families would surround him. The young master never likes such banquets."
Old Master Li understood and laughed, "Okay, I'll go by myself then. Han Ting, you can entertain Wan Wan on behalf of grandpa. Thanks to her, I can give such a decent birthday gift."
After Mr. Li Li left.
Only Shen Wan and Li Hanting were left in the living room.
Li Hanting looked a little uncomfortable: "You must be hungry after being busy for two days. What do you want to eat? I, I'll ask the chef to make it for you."
Chen Wan rubbed his sore hands and said, "Just cook a bowl of noodles to satisfy your hunger."
Li Hanting nodded and turned to instruct the chef.
However, he was told by the servant that the old man had asked the chef to go off work an hour ago, but all the ingredients were prepared for him.
Li Hanting looked at the dazzling array of ingredients in front of him and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Grandpa wanted him to be alone with Shen Wan, and he sent them away. It was obvious that he wanted him to show off more.
But grandpa seems to have forgotten that he has never cooked before!
When Li Hanting was worried about where to start, Shen Wan's voice came from the living room.
"Qi Chong said there was something strange happening at the Oriental Hotel. I won't eat the noodles anymore. I'm going to go take a look first!"
Li Hanting's face changed.
Oriental Hotel?
Isn't this the place where grandpa will attend the birthday party tonight?
