Chen Qin thought the matter was over, so she walked up to the banquet stage with her husband and son, smiling, and spoke to everyone with the microphone.
"Today, thank you all for coming to the Shen family to celebrate my mother's birthday. While everyone is here, I have a great event to share with you all. Please welcome Mrs. Pei, Mr. Pei, and my little daughter Yun'er!"
Lin Jing fixed her makeup and hair, and went on stage looking like a queen high above everyone else.
Pei Junyan and Shen Suyun followed closely behind.
At this moment, Shen Suyun acted like a well-behaved daughter-in-law of the Pei family. She diligently held up Lin Jing's skirt when she went up the stairs, which made Old Lady Shen shake her head frequently.
Seeing that her future daughter-in-law was so servile to her, Lin Jing became even more arrogant. She took the microphone from Chen Qin and spoke slowly.
"My son, A-Yan, lost his father at a young age and has been obedient since childhood. He carried his father's earnest hopes and finally grew up to be the eldest son of the Pei family. He is the image that my husband, Pei Yaori, has always envisioned for him. As a mother, I feel very comforted..."
Chen Qin and Sun Zheng felt a little uncomfortable listening to Lin Jing praising her son all the time without mentioning their daughter for a long time.
However, the other party was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Pei family and Shen Suyun's future mother-in-law, so they had to endure it.
Qiao Ruoxi walked to the corner and looked at Pei Yaori, whose eyes were bleeding. She spoke with her mind, "Has your son grown up to be the person you imagined him to be?"
Pei Yaori wiped his tears and said, "Bullshit! If I hadn't died, Ayan wouldn't be so spineless now! How wonderful it would be if he were my biological son..."
"What if?" Qiao Ruoxi yawned, feeling a little bored.
Pei Yaori sighed: "The more I look at A Yan, the more I think he looks like that man..."
After Lin Jing praised her son for nearly a quarter of an hour, she finally turned her gaze to Shen Suyun.
Shen Suyun was originally a little sleepy, but she immediately perked up, showing what she thought was a perfect smile, and looked at Lin Jing expectantly.
"Men should marry when they are old enough, and women should marry when they are old enough. Shen Suyun, the youngest daughter of the Shen family, and A Yan grew up together and are childhood sweethearts. Today, I am here to announce the engagement of the two children. We will choose a date to hold the wedding. I hope all relatives and friends will come to attend."
After saying that, Lin Jing handed the microphone to Chen Qin, as if unwilling to stay even a moment longer. After giving Pei Junyan a wink, the two of them walked down the banquet stage together.
Seeing this, Shen Suyun hurriedly picked up her skirt and chased after him.
The guests in the audience couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.
"The eldest wife of the Pei family looks down on the Shen family. She praised her own son for fifteen minutes, but only said childhood sweethearts to her future daughter-in-law, as if Miss Shen was born to marry her son."
"This is called a willing fight and a willing fight. Miss Shen has abandoned her own mother and is now chasing her future mother-in-law. She is rushing to be a lickspittle!"
"I think the married life of Mr. Pei and Miss Shen is going to be interesting."
All these words reached the ears of the Shen family. Sun Zheng and his three sons were so angry that their faces turned red and their necks became thick. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, they would have probably started to curse.
Chen Qin was speechless for a while, and inexplicably felt a little lost and disappointed.
She knew that her daughter wanted to marry into the Pei family, and she also tacitly agreed that her daughter would focus on the Pei family. However, if she was eager to get together, she should pay attention to the occasion. Even if she didn't consider her as a mother, she should at least consider her grandmother's face.
Thinking that Old Madam Shen must be furious, Chen Qin secretly glanced at her mother out of the corner of her eye.
What surprised her was that Mrs. Shen didn't seem to care about what had just happened. She was eating with big mouthfuls of food, and her eyes kept glancing at the corner.
He laughed more and more happily, and finally he covered his eyes and looked out through the slits of his eyes.
Chen Qin didn't think much about it and breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s good that her mother doesn’t care. It seems that her mother is not angry with Yun’er and still dotes on Yun’er in her heart. This makes her feel a little better.
It was lively on stage and off stage as well.
Pei Yaozhou brought over two more plates of snacks and said, "Try this." He scooped a small spoonful and brought it to Qiao Ruoxi's mouth.
Qiao Ruoxi was used to being served in her previous life, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so she opened her mouth and ate it, causing people around her to gasp.
"Oh my god, could Mr. Pei be possessed by a ghost? He actually feeds people cupcakes himself?"
"Don't you even look at who she is? She's the Third Master's wife. If you don't love your own wife, are you going to leave her to be loved by someone else?"
"If my wife were this beautiful, I'd stay by her side all the time. If someone else snatched her away, who would I cry to? There's even a rumor out there that the Third Master is gay. That's outrageous!"
These words drifted into Qiao Ruoxi's ears, and she realized that something seemed amiss. She pushed away the small cake that Pei Yaozhou had placed before her mouth and said, "I'd better do it myself."
Pei Yaozhou's dark phoenix eyes were instantly filled with grievance: "You don't like it?"
Looking at Pei Yaozhou's appearance, I don't know if it was a lighting problem, but the man in front of me suddenly overlapped with the little emperor's face.
Qiao Ruoxi's heart softened subconsciously, and she quickly explained in a low voice: "It's not that I don't like it, there are so many people watching."
Pei Yaozhou put down the spoon, and the next moment, he scanned the surroundings with a murderous look.
Soon, the people who had just surrounded them disappeared.
Qiao Ruoxi: ...
Pei Yaozhou picked up the spoon again: "You don't need to feel pressured. I did it on purpose to show them."
Qiao Ruoxi:?
When she came to Old Lady Shen's birthday party today, she more or less heard people discussing Mr. Pei San.
Some say that he has a violent and bloodthirsty personality, and some say that he likes men. So Mr. Pei fed her small cakes and deliberately got close to her in order to break these rumors?
Qiao Ruoxi suddenly understood.
In that case, considering that Pei Yaozhou also gave her a chain of beauty salons, there is nothing wrong with cooperating with him in a play.
Qiao Ruoxi also scooped a small spoonful of cake and brought it to Pei Yaozhou's lips, her voice soft: "Husband, you have a piece too. Come on, open your mouth."
When Pei Yaozhou heard the soft sound, he froze and his neck turned red at the fastest speed.
He reached out and grabbed Qiao Ruoxi's hand. With a "bang", the spoon in the girl's hand fell to the ground, attracting everyone's attention again.
"You're too strong!" Qiao Ruoxi glanced at Pei Yaozhou and was about to bend down to pick up the spoon when Pei Yaozhou's handsome features suddenly enlarged in front of him.
Unprepared, the man gently kissed the cream on the girl's lips, held it in his mouth and savored it carefully, and uttered a magnetic and hoarse bass: "This one is sweeter."
Suppressed screams rose and fell all around.
Qiao Ruoxi sat there blankly, her fingers slowly rubbing the corners of her lips that had just been wet, and words burst out in her heart.
Wow, this man is better at acting than her!
