"Come on, everyone, don't stand, sit down, sit down."
Lian Jingshan shook hands with the people Mr. Shang brought and then invited them to sit down together.
At the dinner table, Lian Jingshan chatted with Mr. Shang the whole time, while Lian Xin sat quietly to the side with a smile on her lips, like a decorative vase.
Seeing that they had run out of nonsense, Mr. Shang gave Lian Jingshan a wink.
Lian Jingshan glanced at Lian Xin out of the corner of his eye and saw her sitting quietly to one side, a rare sight, and a feeling of reluctance rose in his heart.
However, thinking about his current situation, his heart, which had just softened, hardened again.
“Xin’er, don’t hate your father. Your father is powerless to help. I promise you, as long as I make a comeback, I will definitely rescue you from this fire pit. At that time, you will still be the little princess in my palm.”
Thinking of this, he smiled and personally poured Lian Xin a glass of wine: "Xin'er, have a drink with Mr. Shang. After you drink this glass of wine, you will be Mr. Shang's beloved goddaughter."
Looking at the wine glass in front of her, the gentle and welcoming Lian Jingshan beside her, and Mr. Shang who was smiling so broadly his eyes were almost closed, Lian Xin frowned, her unease growing stronger.
Just then, Mr. Shang stood up and raised his glass to Lian Xin: "I've known Jing Shan for a while now, and I often hear him talk about his beautiful and kind-hearted daughter. It's a pity that I'm all alone. Because I envy Jing Shan, I told him that I wanted to adopt Miss Lian as my goddaughter. I hope Miss Lian won't mind."
Seeing this, Lian Xin quickly took the wine glass from Lian Jingshan's hand, then lowered her posture and said gently, "What are you saying? My father often tells me that Mr. Shang is a very successful businessman with unique vision and exceptional skills. Xin'er has always admired Mr. Shang. Now that Mr. Shang has taken the initiative to recognize Xin'er as his goddaughter, how could Xin'er mind?"
Sure enough, after hearing this, Mr. Shang burst into a satisfied laugh.
Even Lian Jingshan looked at Lian Xin in surprise.
In his eyes, Lian Xin had always been a very smart girl. She must have guessed the purpose of this meal. Now that Lian Xin was so obviously praising Mr. Shang, it meant that she herself was willing to follow Mr. Shang.
Thinking of this, he opened his mouth, preparing to stop Lian Xin from drinking the wine that had been drugged, after all, every medicine has some degree of poison.
Before he could even speak, Lian Xin and Mr. Shang downed their drinks in one gulp with great gusto.
"Hahaha, Xin'er is indeed a heroine among women. Godfather admires her greatly."
Mr. Shang laughed heartily, but his gaze toward Lian Jingshan was icy cold.
Lian Jingshan's heart skipped a beat, and he obediently sat down where he was.
Lian Xin covered her chest, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Godfather, you flatter me."
Upon seeing this, Mr. Shang sat down next to Lian Xin and personally poured her a drink from the bottle.
“Xin’er, in our place, when two strangers meet for the first time, they have to drink four cups of wine by themselves. What’s more, we’ve already recognized each other as godfather and goddaughter, so shouldn’t we make up for the rest?”
Upon hearing this, Lian Xin frowned slightly. Seeing that Mr. Shang was about to pour her some wine, she quickly stood up and took the bottle from his hand.
"How can I let my godfather come in person? I am the junior, I should be the one to pour him the wine."
