Chapter 265- Birthday Banquet
The Ren family's old man's birthday celebration was definitely the most lavish one Shi Feiye had ever seen.
After seeing the Ren family's banquet, I finally understood what splendor and magnificence meant. Not to mention the various decorations outside, the decorations inside were equally dazzling. This is what the so-called ostentatious wealth and grandeur are all about.
"Is the Ren family so arrogant? Aren't they afraid of being investigated?" Shi Feiye, holding Qin Bulu's arm, stepped carefully on her high heels and whispered in Qin Bulu's ear.
Qin Buzhu exerted a little force to allow her to put her weight on him, and replied in a low voice:
"This is the only time in his life that Old Master Ren has indulged himself. It's a token of the Ren family's youth's love. It's hard to say if there will be a next time, so the higher-ups won't be keeping a close eye on it."
In the eyes of outsiders, Qin Buzhu, who is usually cold to others, speaks softly to the woman next to him.
Ren Qinse, the third daughter of the Ren family, whispered to her second brother Ren Moli beside her:
"People have been saying that Young Master Qin has been doting on his cheap wife ever since he made a comeback. I always thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems to be true. I never thought that he, who never showed any enthusiasm towards girls, would actually fall in love one day."
Ren Moli glared at her and said, "Don't mess around. What happened between you was just something Grandpa mentioned casually. It's all in the past. Don't rush to make trouble. No one else knows about it, so you won't lose face."
"What are you thinking? Not to mention that our engagement didn't work out, even if he had agreed, I wouldn't have agreed. He's so boring, what's the point of being with him? Besides, I'm the kind of person who would break up other people's marriages."
Ren Qinse rolled her eyes, looking very bored: "Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore, go pick them up."
Shi Feiye carefully supported Qin Bulu and pretended to walk forward with great skill. Soon, a young man dressed very elegantly came to greet them. After exchanging pleasantries, Shi Feiye realized that this man was the second son of the Ren family.
"It's cold outside. Please go in and warm up first, my dear husband. I can't leave here, please forgive me." Ren Moli spoke very politely.
"Well, you're busy, so you don't have to entertain us specially." Qin Bulu was quite polite.
When he reached the door, Shi Feiye saw a beautiful woman in a red cheongsam. It was surprising how this beautiful woman, with her outstanding temperament, managed to make the typically plain cheongsam look elegant and gorgeous.
It wasn't until Qin Buzhu gently tugged at Shi Feiye that Shi Feiye came back to her senses and smiled at the beautiful woman in a very embarrassed manner.
Ren Qinse laughed suddenly, wondering why the person in front of her was clearly the same person, but gave people a completely different feeling:
"I was wondering how Young Master Qin fell into this pit of love. Turns out he met a little cutie. Hi, little cutie, hello."
Shi Feiye instinctively responded with a soft and bright smile: "Well, you are fine too, beautiful lady."
"Hahahaha, I'm starting to like you, little cutie." Ren Qinse felt that the woman in front of her was like a different person. She actually found Shi Feiye very interesting, so she made a gesture of invitation:
"Come on, come in, we'll talk later."
Qin Buzhu remained indifferent and didn't reply. He walked in with Shi Feiye, who didn't forget to look back, feeling helpless:
"That's Ren Qinse, the third daughter of the Ren family. You'll see her later."
So please stop twisting your head back now, okay? He's a handsome guy and spends all day with her, but she's not this obsessed with him.
"She's so special. She has the temperament of a classic beauty and the sophistication of a modern girl. She's exactly like the heroine I envisioned for a novel."
Shi Feiye's tone was filled with surprise. It was so exciting to see the characters in the novel appear in reality.
He knew it, no wonder she was so excited. Qin Bulu said helplessly: "Then when she comes to talk to you later, you can chat with her for a few more minutes to help you fulfill your fantasy."
"Hmm..." Shi Feiye nodded vigorously.
The Ren family only welcomes people who are worthy of their presence. People like Han Wenya don't need them to show up at all, and can just be welcomed in by the receptionists.
Han Wenya saw Qin Buzhu and Shi Feiye from a distance, and naturally saw the second young master of the Ren family hurried over to greet them. Unfortunately, she had nothing here, only the receptionist politely inviting her in.
This is the difference between people. Han Wenya thought that if Shi Feiye and Qin Buzhu had divorced earlier, she might be the one being welcomed into the house arm in arm with Qin Buzhu.
But there are no ifs in life, so she couldn't help but ask the system:
"System, are you sure I can meet the hidden character you mentioned today? Are you sure he's no worse than the male protagonist, Qin Buzhu? I don't want anything to go wrong again. Did you see that over there? Qin Buzhu and his ex-wife were escorted in, while I had to go in alone with other unimportant people. I never want to be treated like this again in my life."
'This system cannot guarantee, but if you encounter a hidden character, the system will give you a prompt.'
"I hope you're truly reliable this time and nothing goes wrong again. I finally had the chance to travel to this world and act so seriously. Look at the other heroines, none of them work as hard as I do. If I still can't get the happiness I deserve, then what's the point of traveling through this world?"
Talking to the system in her mind, Han Wenya walked in, skirt lifted. No matter what, she had to work hard tonight and find a way to meet that hidden character.
After being led in by Qin Bulu, Shi Feiye did not find a corner to sit down as usual, but instead went to where there were more people. As he got closer, he found an old man with gray hair but a very energetic look sitting there.
Without Qin Buzhu's introduction, Shi Feiye guessed that this was the old man of the Ren family.
Coincidentally, the people who were talking to Mr. Ren were Qian Bowen and Zou Lianxun.
"Grandpa Ren, my old man asked me to give you this gift. I wish you good fortune and a long life." It was rare for Zou Lianxun to speak so seriously.
Old Master Ren laughed and said, "Boy, your grandfather has seen that you have been working hard lately. You are smiling all day long and playing cards has become more and more successful. You have beaten me many times."
"Hey, that's because you're willing to give in to him, that's why he loves playing with you." Zou Lianxun's ability to answer the question was undeniable.
Mr. Ren was so coaxed into laughing that he said several words to him before letting him go.
It was Qian Bowen's turn. Seeing that Old Master Ren seemed very close to him, Qian Bowen spoke more casually, and then he pulled Zou Lianxun to make room for the others.
Qin Buzhu brought Shi Feiye over, but he was not as reserved and serious as the others. On the contrary, Mr. Ren was more enthusiastic when he saw him:
"Hey, Xiao Qin is here too. It's been a while since I last saw you. Your holographic online game is really big these days. Compared to you, the ones we have at home should be thrown away."
"Grandpa Ren, you're too kind. Young Master Ren's sonar detector has just been put into use. Didn't he help the authorities salvage a crashed plane a few days ago? I can't compare to them."
Qin Buzhu's tone was a little gentle, and his compliments were sincere.
"This must be your wife, right? She's beautiful and kind-hearted. You two look quite a good match together. Old Qin was right to pair you up. You have many good days ahead of you."
Old Master Ren glanced at Shi Feiye and nodded, as if he approved of Shi Feiye. Shi Feiye was very embarrassed and held up the gift box as Qin Buru had instructed before:
"Grandpa Ren, this is a gift for you. I wish you good fortune like the long flowing waters of the East China Sea and a long life like the evergreen pines of the Southern Mountains."
"Okay, look at how sweet you are, Grandpa doesn't mind, you two should be good, go have fun." Old Master Ren knew that Qin Bulu didn't like to talk so much with others, and the relationship between the two families didn't depend on these two sentences, so he let them go have fun.
Qin Buzhu took Shi Feiye to Zou Lianxun, who was sneering at Qian Bowen:
"I don't know if this old fox of the Ren family is truly happy. He has so many things on his mind every day. It's hard to believe he can live to such an old age."
"Just stop talking. It's not like he's plotting anything against our family. How many businessmen are naive? It's impossible for the old man to have built such a large business without any ulterior motives."
Qian Bowen was completely helpless in his complaints about Zou Lianxun. What was the point of harping on something that everyone knew?
"He's just angry that the old man mentioned to Uncle Qian that young people should do something serious, which prevented him from continuing in the entertainment industry." Qin Bulu approached and ruthlessly exposed Zou Lianxun.
Qian Bowen suddenly realized and burst out laughing: "I was wondering, why are you so angry all of a sudden?"
Zou Lianxun didn't feel embarrassed at all: "That's right. He's always meddling in my affairs. What does my doing have to do with him? He just wants to show off that the children of the Ren family are promising. Humph, even if they are successful, they can't compare to the eldest and second brothers. I don't know what there is to be proud of."
"Why don't you compare yourself? After all, the eldest son of the Ren family is better than you." They are all good brothers, and Qian Bowen immediately started to sprinkle salt on the wound.
Zou Lianxun didn't care. "That's not my ambition. Besides, the Ren family prioritizes profit over anything else. I can't compare. If I had to live like them, I'd rather die than live like them. The Ren family originally planned to bring Third Miss Ren together with our second brother for profit."
Qin Buzhu slapped Zou Lianxun on the head, confusing him. When he realized what he had said, Zou Lianxun smiled awkwardly and quickly clarified with Shi Feiye:
"Of course, that's all the elders' imagination. Second brother directly refused, and Grandpa Qin didn't want to either. That's why you, second sister-in-law, married into our family. This shows that people's fate is determined by heaven, and no one can easily change it. Am I right, second brother?"
