The banquet was still going on in an orderly manner. After being curious about Zuo You for a while, people soon lost interest in him.
After all, today's protagonist is not Zuo You, but the envied wealthy wife Sun Lihua.
Sun Lihua was completely different from the hysterical woman Zuo You saw that day. Her hair was tied up behind her head, and every pearl inlaid on her clothes was dazzling.
Zuo You hid in the corner and anxiously searched for Fu Shenzhi.
With the exception of Fu Shenzhi, the rest of the Fu family stood together, chatting and laughing, a happy and harmonious family. Fu Shenzhi, on the other hand, stood alone in a corner, holding a tall glass in his hand and swirling the liquid in it nonchalantly.
Fu Shenzhi's expression was very cold, and the surroundings were shrouded in a frosty atmosphere. No one dared to come forward to talk to him, making Fu Shenzhi look even more lonely and out of place.
Before the banquet even began, the host was already announcing the gifts from the guests in a visceral and moving manner. Mr. and Mrs. Fu Jianhua were also incredibly generous, expressing their gratitude for the gifts, regardless of their value. As soon as the host finished announcing the gifts, they both beamed and thanked the gift-givers.
The host flipped to the next page of the gift list, his voice growing even more enthusiastic. "A pair of emerald earrings with an extremely precious green garnet at the bottom. This is a masterpiece created by world-renowned designer Mr. Yoshioka, who spent half his life working on it before his death. There is only one such pair in the world!"
Everyone at the banquet gasped. What a generous gift! In front of this jade earring, the birthday gifts sent by other families present seemed like insignificant trifles.
Who was the one who gave the gift? Why was he so generous?
The host read out: "Dear mother, Fu Shenzhi respectfully presents, wishing you happiness as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Fu family looked extremely bad.
The people attending the banquet were all smart people. When they saw Sun Lihua's red and white face, they immediately knew what to do and stopped making trouble.
Everything became quiet.
Sun Lihua did not smile and thank the giver as she would have done with other gifts. Instead, she said coldly, "I hate jade earrings the most. Return them."
"Ah?" Even though the host had seen big scenes before, he still stood there with the microphone in his hand, feeling extremely embarrassed.
There was complete silence, but everyone was worried for the gift-giver, Fu Shenzhi, the eldest son of the Fu family.
Some people felt embarrassed for him, while others gloated over his misfortune.
Fu Shenzhi's expression remained calm. He put on a charming smile and raised his glass to Sun Lihua from a distance. "If you don't like the beads, just throw them away. I'm sorry for not choosing a gift and making you unhappy. Please don't get angry at your birthday banquet."
Fu Shenzhi's words were flawless. The priceless pair of jade earrings, when spoken from his mouth, became a pair of light pearls.
Everyone was amazed. Fu Shenzhi was worthy of being Fu Shenzhi. He was so young but could reach the status of Master Fu. He had both skills and thick-skinnedness.
Sun Lihua was obviously furious, but there were many people present and she couldn't lose her temper immediately. She glared at Fu Shenzhi fiercely across the crowd.
That look made him want to skin Fu Shenzhi alive and kill him as soon as possible.
Fu Shenzhi curled his lips nonchalantly, narrowed his eyes and smiled meaningfully.
"Mr. Xianxian is really smart." Xu Zisheng was not used to this kind of drinking and socializing. He looked like a helpless elementary school student who had accidentally entered an adult's banquet, with a silly hair sticking up on his head.
In order to hide his nervousness, Xu Zisheng said a lot: "She must be so angry that she can't bear it anymore."
Fu Shenzhi didn't say anything, took a sip of the wine in his mouth, and his thick eyelashes drooped, forming a small shadow on his eyelids.
It is absolutely true that Sun Lihua hates jade earrings the most, because her biological mother's favorite is green jade earrings.
Fu Shenzhi came to the Fu family when he was four years old. He had a very vague impression of that woman. The only thing he could recall was the emerald beads that were always hanging on that woman's ears.
Fu Shenzhi's only impression of that woman was that she was emerald green, delicate and charming, and subdued and green.
Fu Shenzhi's eyes dimmed a little.
This birthday party must have disgusted Sun Lihua to death, and it was worth the effort he put into getting this pair of jade earrings.
Mu Chuan noticed Fu Shenzhi's expression, reached out and rudely hit Xu Zisheng on the head, and brushed down his raised alopecia: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
Xu Zisheng was slapped, and after holding his breath for a long time, he finally spoke: "Mr. Xianxian, Miss Zuo Zuo Zuo is looking at you. Isn't she going to say hello?"
Fu Shenzhi didn't even raise his head, his expression calm and indifferent: "Don't have any contact with her until this is over."
Mu Chuan studied medicine, and he was the only one who noticed that the muscles in Fu Shenzhi's hands were a little tense.
It seems that the gentleman really cares about Miss Zuo.
Mu Chuan sighed and looked down at Zuo You across the crowd. It was just a quick glance, but Mu Chuan's expression suddenly changed.
As if unsure, Mu Chuan squinted his eyes and looked carefully again, then hesitantly said: "Sir, I don't know if I'm seeing things. The glass of wine in Miss Zuo's hand seems... a little problematic."
Medical students observe things more carefully than ordinary people. The glass of wine that Zuo You was shaking in his hand was richer and brighter in color than other glasses under the light.
Upon hearing this, Fu Shenzhi's expression changed and he tightened his grip on the neck of the cup.
