Chapter 460 Wen Zhixia x Shen Jiachen (Thirty-one)
Father Yu beside him looked at this scene with a smile, and had an idea in his mind, and chatted with Shen Fang enthusiastically: "Mr. Shen, long time no see."
Shen Fang also smiled, and shook hands with Father Yu and began to exchange pleasantries.
This birthday party actually has a bigger hidden purpose, which is - blind date.
It sounds nice to call it a blind date, but in reality it is an arranged marriage.
This was also the reason why Yu Mingxue had a big fight with her family some time ago and ran away to live in school. However, the Yu family later compromised and let Yu Mingxue choose by herself. Anyway, they would control the candidates who could attend the banquet, so no matter who they were, they could form a strong alliance.
Father Yu looked at his daughter with his eyes fixed on Shen Jiachen. What was there that he didn't understand?
He was quite happy. Putting aside the strength of the Shen family, Shen Jiachen was an outstanding child, and he and his daughter grew up together as childhood sweethearts, so the marriage was a good thing.
Father Yu said, "Mingxue, you should entertain Jiachen and the others well."
Then he looked at Shen Fang and said, "Mr. Shen, let's catch up with other old friends. It's a rare relaxing moment."
After the elders left, Yu Mingxue looked at Shen Jiachen again. Shen Jiachen was dressed very formally today, in a well-tailored black suit, which made him look a bit elite and his face was handsome.
Yu Mingxue felt her face getting a little hot. Fortunately, she applied more blush today so it was not very noticeable. Otherwise, she would have been a little embarrassed to face Shen Jiachen.
When Gu Xingyuan saw Yu's father leave, he walked to Yu Mingxue very naturally and walked around her.
Yu Mingxue asked in confusion: "What are you doing? Walking back and forth."
Gu Xingyuan smiled and said, "You look really good today. I want to take a few more glances at you."
Yu Mingxue's lips curled up, and she couldn't help but raise her hand to pinch Gu Xingyuan's face: "You little bastard, I'm not good-looking on weekdays, am I?"
She didn't actually use any force, but Gu Xingyuan still pretended to grin: "Looks good, looks good. You look good all the time."
Yu Mingxue then withdrew her hand: "How come you've become more and more greasy in the past few days since we last met?"
Gu Xingyuan stretched out his hands, made a heart shape with his hands towards Yu Mingxue, blew his hair in front of his forehead, and said in a low voice: "Tsk, you are also fascinated by me, right?"
Yu Mingxue was so angry that she reached out to grab his ear: "Can you be more normal? Do I really have to punish you on this great day?"
Gu Xingyuan said pitifully: "I was wrong, I was wrong. I was wrong, sister. I was wrong, I was wrong."
Shen Jiazhou looked at Gu Xingyuan with disdain, and finally rolled his eyes. He looked around with the juice in his hand, trying to find a place to sit.
Shen Jiachen came out with a smile and took charge of the situation: "Okay, okay, Mingxue, let's go find a seat and sit down first."
There are a lot of people coming today, and Yu Mingxue definitely can't stay with them all the time.
Yu Mingxue sighed imperceptibly, then withdrew her hand and became dignified again, her face as red as a peach: "Okay, Brother Chen, I'll come to see you...when I'm done with my work."
She hurriedly added "they", and then looked at Shen Jiachen a little embarrassedly, but he didn't react at all, just nodded: "Okay, see you later."
Shen Jiachen glanced at Gu Xingyuan and said, "Let's go."
Gu Xingyuan came over with a playful smile, squeezed between the two brothers of the Shen family, opened his hands and put them on them. He said, "Brother Chen, what are you busy with recently?"
Shen Jiachen said: "I work in the company."
As he was talking, he was looking for a place to sit. At this moment, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
However, the figure flashed by, and when he wanted to take a closer look, he couldn't find it anymore.
Shen Jiazhou noticed his gaze and looked in the same direction, but saw nothing. He asked in confusion, "What are you looking at?"
Gu Xingyuan heard this and also looked over: "There's nothing!"
Shen Jiachen retracted his gaze and turned his face away in disdain: "Gu Xingyuan, why are you like a firecracker? You'd be happy if I blew up your brother's ears, right?"
Gu Xingyuan chuckled twice, but lowered his voice: "Brother, what are you looking at?"
He seemed to have seen Wen Zhixia just now, but he soon realized that it might be an illusion. At this point, Wen Zhixia should be working in Sister Ning Zhen's coffee shop.
Shen Jiachen shook the goblet in his hand twice and replied, "I didn't see anything."
After hearing the refusal in her words that day, every time Shen Jiachen tried to muster up the courage to send her a message, all that echoed in his mind were Wen Zhixia's words of rejection.
He took a sip of champagne and put his emotions aside for the moment.
Gu Xingyuan was still chattering about recent events at school, but Shen Jiazhou looked at his brother a few more times, took a sip of juice, and said nothing.
Wen Zhixia was originally there to help with serving the dishes, but since help was needed in the kitchen, she stayed there to help with chores.
She was very skillful. When Aunt Ye Yao came over to urge her to cook, she looked at her several times and thought that she was really rare. The most tedious and troublesome job was to do odd jobs in the kitchen. Sometimes, the old employees like them could not handle it. But
Student Ye Yao was able to endure it.
There was a bit more approval in her eyes, and she remembered that Ye Yao had mentioned to her that this classmate's family conditions did not seem to be very good.
Aunt Ye Yao looked at her twice again and then went on with her business.
In the conversation area at the front, Father Yu held the microphone, smilingly thanked the guests for coming, and after saying a few polite words, he announced that everyone could take their seats.
Today is a birthday party and you can sit anywhere you want.
Shen Jiachen originally wanted to sit at the same table with Shen Jiazhou and the others, but Shen Fang pulled him tightly to the main seat.
Apart from him, the only other young person at the table was Yu Mingxue.
Yu Mingxue had changed into a convenient dress. She sat next to Shen Jiachen with a smile on her face.
Shen Fang and Father Yu sat together and said with a smile: "Look at the two children, they have grown so big in the blink of an eye."
Father Yu also said, "Yes, I always feel that Jiachen and Mingxue are still children, but look, Jiachen has grown up to be handsome and smart. If Mingxue can be as smart and capable as Jiachen, I won't be so anxious."
Yu Mingxue pouted slightly, lowered her head and poked the fish in her bowl, thinking, Brother Chen is very smart and capable, but she is not bad either, okay? She was admitted to A University by herself, and she also learned to manage the family business. Her father's words made her unhappy. If it were usual, Yu Mingxue would have rolled her eyes and left, but today was different.
Shen Fang hurriedly said: "Oh, how can you say that? Our Mingxue is also one of the best. We are all family, don't say two different things."
Father Yu also smiled and said, "Yes, yes, we are all family, so we should not have different opinions."
The other people at the dinner table also reacted and echoed what the two said.
Shen Jiachen frowned and looked up at Shen Fang, but Shen Fang was still communicating enthusiastically with Yu's father, and the two seemed to have reached some consensus.
He also reacted. No wonder after he agreed to come to this birthday party, Shen Fang confirmed again and again that he was waiting for him here.
In fact, Yu Mingxue had been paying attention to the reaction of Shen Jiachen beside her. Seeing him frown, she felt a little disappointed. Brother Chen didn't seem to be very happy.
