Just as she was debating whether to knock on a random room and ask someone for directions, the door to the lounge behind her suddenly opened.

Turning around, I saw that we were enemies.

Wu Mei looked Shen Mingzhu up and down in shock, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Shen Mingzhu sneered, "If you can be here, why can't I be here? Is this your home?"

The old woman held by Wu Mei glared at Shen Mingzhu unhappily, "What's your attitude?"

"Whatever your attitude is, I will have the same attitude."

"Which side are you from?"

"I'm going east, west, south, and north."

Shen Mingzhu also knew that any one of the guests at the banquet tonight could be an important figure whom she could not afford to offend. After she had confronted him, she turned around and wanted to run away, but Wu Mei was also a tough person and she grabbed her as soon as she saw her.

"Don't even think about leaving until you explain yourself clearly!"

"Whose relative are you? You're not here to take advantage of the situation and eat for free, are you?"

Shen Mingzhu was being held by Wu Mei, and couldn't leave even though she wanted to. She felt both annoyed and angry.

Zhong Qing changes her expression at will, like a schizophrenic. She is so unlucky to meet such an annoying person like Wu Mei. If she had known, she would not have come to this engagement party.

"It's none of your business which side I'm from, let go!"

"Why, you want to run away after I exposed your true identity? Godmother, let me tell you, this woman may look like a decent woman, but she is actually a rural woman who married into the city by being a stepmother. She even humiliated me before and asked me to be her nanny."

When the old woman heard this, she looked at Shen Mingzhu with an unfriendly look, "Which side are you from? If you can't explain clearly, we'll have to kick you out."

Shen Mingzhu wanted to keep things quiet. Just as she opened her mouth to reply that it was the guest from the female side, she heard the crisp sound of heels hitting the ground behind her.

Yan Su slowly approached and looked at the three people making a scene, looking worried, "What's going on?"

The old woman immediately walked up to Yan Su and said, "Xiao Su, you've come at the right time. This person is sneaking around here. When I asked her where she was from, she mumbled for a long time and couldn't answer. Is she trying to take advantage of the situation? You'd better kick her out."

Wu Mei quickly agreed, "Second Miss Yan, I know this woman. She is just a rural woman. She has no right to come to a place like the Yan family."

Yan Su stared at Shen Mingzhu for a moment, and spoke in a voice that was unremarkable, "Some people really don't have the qualifications to stand here."

Wu Mei was so happy that she pushed Shen Mingzhu arrogantly, "Did you hear that? Get out of here quickly. Do you want to wait for the second lady to get someone to throw you out?"

After hearing this, Yan Su turned his head and ordered the housekeeper behind him, "Uncle Hua, do as she says and throw him out."

Dong Hua nodded and turned to look for someone.

Wu Mei had a look of gloating on her face and couldn't wait to see Shen Mingzhu's miserable appearance after being thrown out.

Shen Mingzhu's mood at this moment can only be described as "fucked". She definitely didn't check the almanac before going out. How unlucky she was when she opened the door. She was so unlucky!

"No, I can walk by myself."

After saying that, she turned around and tried to leave, but Yan Su stopped her, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

If I'm not in a hurry to leave, am I waiting for you to find someone to throw me out? Yan Su was stunned by Shen Mingzhu's huge eye roll.

In her entire life, no one has ever dared to roll their eyes at her in person.

At this time, housekeeper Dong Hua came over with two strong bodyguards.

The two bodyguards were of similar height and build to Pei Yang, and her small body could not withstand them. Shen Mingzhu knew the situation and planned to show weakness to Yan Su, "Second Miss Yan, I..."

Before he could finish his words, Yan Su pulled him over and said, "Don't block the road."

Shen Mingzhu: ???

A gust of wind blew, and two bodyguards walked past her with expressionless faces, picked up Wu Mei from the left and right, and walked away.

"It's not me, you got the wrong person, it's her..."

Wu Mei struggled in panic, but it was no use.

Seeing Wu Mei being taken away by two bodyguards, the old woman hurriedly asked Yan Su for help, "Oh, why did they take my goddaughter away? Please ask the bodyguards to stop. She is my goddaughter."

Yan Su looked at the old woman in front of him and said, "Aunt, I have told you many times before, it is up to you if you like to adopt a daughter, but don't bring some messy people to the Yan family."

"This is the last time. If it happens again, you should just stay at home and enjoy your retirement. Don't go to the Yan family."

The old woman got herself into trouble and left in shame.

Only Yan Su and Shen Mingzhu were left in the corridor.

The two looked at each other in a mysterious silence.

Alas, his head hurts, Yan Su walked away holding his forehead.

Shen Mingzhu hurried to follow.

The two walked one after the other for a while, and Yan Su stopped and looked back, "Why are you following me?"

"I can't find my way downstairs."

“…”

Yan Su looked at the delicate beauty in front of him and felt his head hurt even more.

At this time, she didn't know that Shen Mingzhu was invited by Zhong Qing, and she thought it was her brother who invited her.

Yan Su led Shen Mingzhu to the passage downstairs, "Go down from here to the banquet hall."

"Thank you."

Shen Mingzhu thanked the other party sincerely and walked down the stairs.

Yan Su looked at her petite and slender figure and could not help but remind her: "Don't run around. Eat and go back early."

Shen Mingzhu turned around and smiled at Yan Su, "Okay."

Yan Su's eyelids twitched at her smile. What on earth was her brother trying to do? Was he crazy? ...

Seeing Shen Mingzhu return safely, both father and son breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought you were lost. If you don't come back, Ziheng and I will post a missing person notice." Pei Yang joked.

"I was a little lost, but I met a kind person who showed me the way."

Shen Mingzhu lightly reviewed the thrilling experience she had in just half an hour and waited for the meal to begin as if nothing had happened.

At 7:30, the engagement ceremony began.

First, the parents of both parties came on stage to give speeches, and then the engaged parties came on stage to accept the attention and congratulations of the guests.

It was too far away, so Shen Mingzhu couldn't see the expression of the person on the stage clearly, but she had a vague feeling that Zhong Qing seemed to be looking at her.

The engagement ceremony ended and the banquet officially began.

Everything flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the water, all kinds of top-quality ingredients plus first-class cooking, it is no exaggeration to call it a feast for gourmets.

An engagement banquet is not like a wedding banquet. There are no complicated procedures such as toasting. However, the two newlyweds still hold wine glasses and follow their parents to make friends with important people or big shots at the banquet, which is also the ultimate goal of a wealthy marriage.

Resource exchange and strong combination.

But Shen Mingzhu didn't care about these. She just focused on eating with the father and son.

This meal cost her a small gold bar, so she had to get enough.

Towards the end of the meal, everyone at the table picked up their wine glasses and went to socialize, but the family of three remained as steady as a rock.

However, Shen Mingzhu and Pei Ziheng had small appetites and could no longer eat, leaving only Pei Yang still able to fight.

The mother and son sat in silence and watched him eat.

After a while, even Pei Yang couldn't eat anymore, and Shen Mingzhu planned to leave with her family.

As soon as I stood up, Yan Yi came over with a glass of wine.

Quietly updated, surprising everyone
