"Shen Jiao."
Cold words rang in her ears. Shen Jiao raised her eyes and saw Ji Yanqing looking at them with a frosty face.
Why is Ji Yanqing here? Isn’t he accompanying Amelia Su?
Ji Yanqing came over, took her hand, and whispered: "It's time for us to take a seat."
Shen Jiao was stunned, "Ah? Okay."
Shen Jiao: [What does Ji Yanqing mean? Did he come here just to take me to dinner? 】
This is too strange.
System: [Maybe it’s because I feel sorry for you hiding here quietly to eat cake. 】
Shen Jiao: [Wow, he is so nice. 】
The system that was originally just a joke: ...isn’t it, do you really believe it?
But seeing Shen Jiao's happy look, it swallowed the words silently.
Shan Yao was dissatisfied that he was being ignored, so he grabbed Shen Jiao's other hand, looked at Ji Yanqing with provocative eyes, and said, "I'll come find you later."
? ? ?
Shen Jiao's left and right hands were being pulled, and she felt like a piece of cake being pulled around. Shen Jiao felt it was a bit ridiculous. What were they doing?
Ji Yanqing's forehead throbbed with veins as he watched this scene, and his eyes were filled with anger.
In the end, Shen Jiao took out her hands, said goodbye to Shan Yao, and pulled Ji Yanqing away.
…
The relatives of the Shen family were all arranged together. As soon as Shen Jiao and Ji Yanqing came over to sit down, a middle-aged man started acting strangely.
"Oh, you are worthy of being the eldest lady of the Shen family. She is putting on such a big show. Everyone else here is an elder and they are all waiting for you. This is not good."
Faced with the sudden malice from others, Shen Jiao was stunned for a moment and looked over at Xun Sheng.
They saw a middle-aged man looking at them maliciously, with cloudy eyes and a bloated figure. He is Shen's father's younger brother, her second uncle, Shen Feng.
Although they are brothers, they are very different. Father Shen has excellent conduct, excellent knowledge, and business acumen. He has been raised as the heir to the family since he was a child.
But Shen Feng is stubborn and unruly. He is proficient in smoking, drinking and fighting, and he once committed a crime and went to jail. People often like to compare the two brothers. Against the backdrop of Shen's father, Shen Feng seems to be the product of a genetic mutation, as unbearable as a rat in a ditch.
The old man of the Shen family had handed over most of the property to Shen's father, and Shen Feng had always felt unhappy. Later, after giving birth to a daughter, Shen Jiao, Shen Feng felt that he had hope again. Shen Feng believed that since Shen Jiao was a woman, Shen's father would not hand over the family property to her, and would definitely give it to his younger brother in the future.
With this idea in mind, Shen Feng continued to hang out, spending all day outside drinking and squandering as much as he wanted.
Until Ji Yanqing's appearance, although there was no blood relationship, from a legal perspective, Ji Yanqing was Shen's father's son. Thinking that the Shen family's property might fall into the hands of outsiders in the future, Shen Feng was itching with hatred.
Seeing that Shen Jiao was silent, Shen Feng patted the table and said loudly: "I'm talking to you!"
He looked very much like a scoundrel.
Shen Jiao frowned. Although she had a soft temper, she still felt uncomfortable being targeted for no apparent reason, so she simply replied with one word.
"oh."
Shen Feng choked at Shen Jiao's "Oh". After reacting, he pointed at Shen Jiao and roared: "Is this your attitude when talking to your elders!"
Seeing that the situation was tense, the people next to them immediately came out to be peacemakers, "Oh, Shen Jiao is just a child and not sensible. As elders, why should we care about them? We should be more considerate, and kindness will make money."
Shen Feng blushed with anger and felt a little relieved after hearing this. She was just a young girl, not worthy of his wrath.
But Shen Feng still felt that he had lost face in front of so many people and wanted to regain his reputation.
Shen Feng has been in the wine shop for many years, and he is well versed in the culture of the wine table, and he did not hold back when it came to Mrs. Shen's birthday.
He started to show off again, "Your second uncle and I are not the kind of people to use seniority to pressure others, but you have to express your disapproval for being late. Shouldn't you give us a toast to apologize?"
His cloudy eyes turned, and he pointed the finger at Ji Yanqing, the only outsider, and said: "Shen Jiao, you are young and you are a woman. I feel sorry for you, uncle, so you don't need to drink. But Xiao Ji , you are a man and an elder brother, so you can’t refuse.”
"That's right, that's right! Let's do it with your second uncle!" The people nearby didn't mind the excitement and kept making noises.
Shen Feng poured wine as he spoke. He poured half a glass for himself and filled it up for Ji Yanqing. The excess wine overflowed from the mouth of the glass.
Shen Feng smiled maliciously and handed the wine out, "Come on, Xiao Ji, you must drink this glass."
Ji Yanqing's expression remained unchanged as he took the wine glass steadily and said, "Thank you, uncle."
Seeing Ji Yanqing raising his head and about to drink, Shen Jiao stood up quickly and grabbed the glass.
"Wait a moment!"
Shen Jiao took the wine glass and looked at Shen Feng and said, "Ji Yanqing is an outsider after all. It's me who should be the one to apologize to your second uncle."
Shen Feng was even more proud after hearing this. Shen Jiao had just made him lose face, and now she had to obediently apologize to him for drinking with him.
Ji Yanqing's expression changed slightly, and he reached out to take the wine glass back.
Shen Jiao pushed him aside with her backhand and fucked him in one go.
The wine was slightly astringent in the mouth, and Shen Jiao felt nothing after drinking it all.
So the original owner had such a good drinking capacity?
When Shen Feng saw Shen Jiao drinking all the drinks, he laughed with satisfaction, "Okay, okay! Hahaha, not bad, I didn't expect you..."
Shen Feng's smile stopped suddenly and got stuck in his throat.
"mom?!"
Old Mrs. Shen appeared behind Shen Feng with an angry look on her face.
Shen Jiao had noticed that Mrs. Shen was coming here before, and she deliberately grabbed the wine glass from Ji Yanqing's hand to delay time.
With tears in her eyes, Shen Jiao approached Old Mrs. Shen, looked at Old Mrs. Shen pitifully, and began to say miserably, "Grandma... it's not my second uncle's fault. It's because we came late and didn't respect our elders. It's our fault." Punished..."
"What kind of elder is he? Is there any elder like him?!"
Old Mrs. Shen also had a hot temper and grabbed Shen Feng's ears.
"Mom! Mom! Be gentle! It hurts!" Shen Feng screamed miserably, instantly attracting many people to watch.
"You still know it hurts? I don't care what you do outside, but you are becoming more and more lawless now, reaching out to the house!"
"Mom, Mom! Today is your birthday, so many people are watching, please don't do this..."
"You now know that today is my birthday? Why did you forget it when you forced Jiaojiao to drink?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Shen Feng. He was in a state of embarrassment and humiliation, but he did not dare to resist.
In the end, Mrs. Shen deprived Shen Feng of 5% of the shares as punishment. Although Shen Feng was dissatisfied, he could only break his teeth and swallow it.
After Mrs. Shen finished cleaning up Shen Feng and sat down, the scene was a little awkward for a while. Those who were originally making noise now wanted to get into the ground.
Shen Jiao felt a little guilty. Although Shen Feng provoked them first, it was indeed her fault that affected Mrs. Shen's birthday.
Shen Jiao whispered: "Grandma, I'm sorry..."
Old Mrs. Shen was very sensible and did not blame her, "Jiaojiao, this is not your fault. It was me who failed to teach him well and made you feel wronged."
Hearing Mrs. Shen's words, Shen Jiao was very moved. This was the first person in this world who was so kind to her.
The banquet went on as usual, and as people kept coming to toast Mrs. Shen's birthday, the scene became lively again, as if nothing had ever happened.
