Although Zhao Dafa said he didn't want a big wedding, he still booked the largest private room and set up five tables.
As soon as Shen Mingzhu, the child and Shen Hongmei got out of the car, Zhao Yun greeted them with a smile.
"Aunt Mingzhu, Aunt Hongmei."
Shen Mingzhu asked him to take Pei Ziheng and Guoguo in first, while she opened the trunk and carried the gifts in with Shen Hongmei.
After entering the box, Zhao Dafa happily accepted the gift and asked Zhao Yun to take them to their seats.
"Aunt Mingzhu, Aunt Hongmei, please sit over here. My dad has reserved a good seat for you."
Shen Mingzhu joked, "What's the good idea? Can you eat two more dishes?"
Zhao Yun chuckled, "My dad has invited a singing and dancing performance. Your seat is facing the stage. It's beautiful to eat and watch the performance at the same time."
No wonder there was a stage right in front. She thought it was for the convenience of speeches, but it turned out to be a singing and dancing performance.
But then again, as the living standards of the whole nation improve, the demand for leisure and entertainment is also growing.
This year alone, more than a dozen karaoke bars have opened in Fengcheng, and there are countless bars and dance halls.
The spectacular singing and dancing performances have become one of the means of competition among major hotels.
At seven o'clock, most of the guests had arrived and the food began to be served.
Zhao Yun, who was originally sitting diagonally opposite, suddenly stood up and walked between Shen Mingzhu and Shen Hongmei, "Aunt Hongmei, let's change seats. I want to sit with Ziheng."
On Shen Hongmei's left is Shen Mingzhu, and on her right is Pei Ziheng.
Shen Hongmei didn't think much about it and stood up and changed seats with Zhao Yun.
As soon as I sat down, Zhao Dafa walked towards me.
Shen Hongmei looked around and found that there was only one empty seat next to her at the table, but there were two empty seats at the table next to her.
She was not sure whether Zhao Dafa was sitting at this table or the next table, so she did not move for a moment.
It was not until Zhao Dafa pulled out the chair next to her and sat down that she got up and moved to the next table.
Shen Hongmei's position-changing action attracted a lot of attention.
Shen Mingzhu did not expect Zhao Dafa to sit at this table. She was about to smooth things over for Shen Hongmei, but Zhao Dafa spoke first to resolve the awkwardness.
"Eat, eat, eat. We are all family today, so don't be polite."
So the guests picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
Shen Hongmei also realized it belatedly. Her action of changing seats made Zhao Dafa embarrassed, and she couldn't help feeling uneasy.
If she had known she shouldn't have come.
In the middle of the trip, Shen Mingzhu took her daughter to the bathroom.
When Shen Mingzhu came back from the bathroom, she was stopped outside the box by Zhao Dafa.
"Mingzhu, let me ask you something. Did I offend Hongmei in some way? She seems to be quite dissatisfied with me recently."
This is putting it mildly.
Considering Shen Hongmei's previous behavior of changing seats in front of several tables of guests, Zhao Dafa was considered to have a good temper as he did not get angry.
Originally, even if Zhao Dafa didn't look for her, she was also prepared to find Zhao Dafa and help Shen Hongmei make up for it so as not to affect the relationship between the two families.
But now that Zhao Dafa came to her first, she realized something.
Shen Mingzhu let her daughter into the box first, and then she briefly told her about Zhou Hui's trouble-making at the factory.
"Hongmei is probably afraid of causing any more misunderstandings, so she's intentionally avoiding you. She's young, so it's inevitable that she's not thorough in her actions. I'll apologize to Brother Zhao on her behalf."
Zhao Dafa never dreamed that such a thing would happen. He was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. After exchanging a few polite words with Shen Mingzhu, he went to the bathroom.
After going to the bathroom, Zhao Dafa did not rush back to the box, but found a deserted place to smoke.
No wonder Shen Hongmei refused to take his car last time and was unwilling to sit with him tonight.
After learning the reason, he felt disgusted with Zhou Hui, but he was also glad that he cut the Gordian knot and broke up with Zhou Hui in time.
Otherwise, with Zhou Hui's reckless personality, who knows how much trouble and trouble she would cause.
In the box.
Shen Mingzhu didn't mention that she had already explained it to Zhao Dafa outside the box, "Okay."
After a while, Zhao Dafa came back.
Shen Mingzhu winked at Shen Hongmei.
Shen Hongmei understood and stood up, picking up the cup, "Brother Zhao, I..."
Halfway through her words, she noticed that Shen Mingzhu was still sitting there steadily, with no intention of standing up to toast. She was stunned for a moment, but quickly continued her conversation.
"Brother Zhao, I offer you a toast. I wish you a happy birthday, good health, and everything goes well."
Zhao Dafa smiled and stood up to clink glasses with her, "Thank you, now that you are here, don't be restrained or nervous. I am not a man-eating tiger, don't be afraid of me."
This can be regarded as a solution to Shen Hongmei's previous issue of changing her seat.
Shen Hongmei nodded gratefully and drank the whole glass of wine.

Seeing this, Zhao Dafa also raised his head and drank.
Shen Mingzhu's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, a faint smile appearing on her lips.
…
I originally thought that Zhao Dafa would take some action after the birthday party.
But half a month passed and Zhao Dafa was silent.
Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but wonder if she was wrong.
That weekend, Zhao Yun came to Pei Ziheng's house to do homework. While delivering fruits, she inadvertently asked about Zhao Dafa's whereabouts.
"Xiao Yun, is your dad busy recently? He ordered a few boxes of mooncakes before. Can you ask him for me whether I should send them to the company or he should come to the factory to pick them up."
Zhao Yun was sucking on a cantaloupe while vaguely replying, "He went to Jincheng. I haven't seen him for a long time."
Shen Mingzhu knew what was going on, so she stopped asking questions and just smiled and told Zhao Yun to come over if he felt bored at home.
Zhao Yun naturally agreed readily. He was eager to live in the Pei family.
Zhao Dafa, who was far away in Jincheng, was also helpless. The project in Jincheng was a large one in cooperation with the government, with a tight schedule and high requirements. He had to come over in person to keep an eye on it, and Shen Hongmei's matter had to be put aside for the time being.
…
Shen Hongmei had just come out of the stationery store after purchasing office supplies when she ran into Liang Ke'an and a girl walking towards her, talking and laughing.
The girl looked quite young, probably under 20 years old.
Before Shen Hongmei could decide whether to say hello or avoid him, Liang Ke'an saw her.
"Hongmei, what a coincidence."
After a brief surprise, Liang Ke'an walked up to Shen Hongmei and greeted her with a smile.
Shen Hongmei nodded, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable and not knowing what to say.
Liang Ke'an obviously felt embarrassed, "Well, I'm going to catch the bus, I'll leave first."
Shen Hongmei felt relieved and said, "Goodbye."
"goodbye."
After walking a distance, Shen Hongmei couldn't help but look back.
The girl who happened to be walking the same way as Liang Ke'an also turned around to look at her.
Their eyes met, and Shen Hongmei immediately turned her head back with a flushed face.
She had a good impression of Liang Ke'an at first, but after the Liang family disliked her for being from the countryside, her feelings for Liang Ke'an faded.
She was just a little curious about the new person around Liang Ke'an, whether he was from the countryside or the city.
"Third brother, she is still secretly watching you. She must have not given up on you."
After learning that Shen Hongmei was Liang Ke'an's blind date, Liang Xiling couldn't help but look back at Shen Hongmei. Unexpectedly, Shen Hongmei was also peeking at them, and immediately started joking with Liang Ke'an. (End of this chapter)
