I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Shen Qingyu had caused a disturbance in Shen Garden at 10 a.m., and at 11 a.m. he was tied up and taken to the ancestral hall by the old man. To teach him a lesson, the old man put two big locks on the door this time, and he would not stop until he had locked it for 49 days.

When Shen Jiao went to Juyuan to deliver a dress to Jiang Huashan, Zhang Ru told her again about Shen Qingyu coming in to cause trouble. Shen Jiao was so angry that she immediately asked someone to add two more big locks.

The idle day at Shenyuan passed in this chaos.

The next day, Jiang Huashan finally regained some energy. Zhang Ru prepared hot water early, washed up, and changed into the dress she had prepared in advance to prepare for the banquet.

The Xiao family was the host of the banquet this time, so the dress Shen Jiao prepared for her was much more low-key than usual. However, even if it was more low-key, it wouldn't be very low-key with her face.

Shen Zhuang was not present at the banquet, and only six people from the Shen family were present. In addition to Shen Jiao, Jiang Huashan, and other juniors, Shen Qian and Shen Yuan would also be present.

The banquet was scheduled to start at six o'clock in the evening, but as a family supporter, Shen E specially invited them to arrive early.

Since Shen Jiao had given Shen E respect, she wouldn't make things difficult for her over such a small matter. Therefore, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Jiao brought Jiang Huashan, Fu Sui'er, and Shen Mianzhi to the banquet in advance.

Although the Xiao family wasn't as wealthy as the Shen family, they were still a prominent family in Country A. This banquet was held at the Xiao family's old house, a white building that blended modern simplicity with classical charm. Built by the water, the huge floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall brought the scenery of the lake and mountains into the room to the greatest extent possible.

Shen E was waiting at the door to welcome them early. When she saw the Shen family's car from afar, she finally felt relieved.

Although Shen Jiao agreed readily, she couldn't completely let go until she met the person.

"Oh my, the little girls have grown up, and each one is as beautiful as a flower."

Fu Suier wore a primrose yellow puff-sleeved knee-length skirt, which was decorated with tiny three-dimensional embroidered flowers, full of the girl's cuteness and agility.

Shen Mianzhi wore a glacier blue knee-length suit dress with neat and tough lines, which perfectly blended with her usual cool temperament.

Jiang Huashan was even simpler, a long, white gauze dress devoid of any elaborate adornment. Her long, thick, seaweed-like hair was simply tied up loosely, with a few strands cascading down her cheeks, adding a touch of casual elegance. Even so, she radiated light just by standing there.

Shen E also saw that they had no intention of competing for beauty, and she appreciated Shen Jiao's kindness in her heart, and the smile between her eyebrows became more sincere.

She rarely took the initiative and stepped forward to hold Shen Jiao's hand, "You have good eyesight, so you can pick up such a treasure."

When Jiang Huashan first came to Shen Garden, no one looked down on her. When Shen Jiao adopted Jiang Huashan as her daughter, Shen E even laughed at her secretly:

What’s the use of a girl being pretty? Aren’t there enough beautiful girls in Jinggang?

But the facts proved that Shen Jiao was indeed the most far-sighted one. Now among the children of Shen Garden, Jiang Huashan was the most favored one, and even Shen Lanxi had to stand aside.

Shen Jiao was too lazy to deal with these polite words. Just as she was about to pull her hand away, she looked up and saw a group of people from the Xiao family looking over here.

Xiao Qi is still lying in the hospital, dying, but Shen E is still holding the banquet as usual. These Xiao family members must be resentful. Shen E deliberately shows such intimacy with her, just to take advantage of the Shen family's influence.

Shen Jiao's heart was as clear as a mirror. She glanced at Shen E and smiled faintly, "I think Lan Lan has become quite sensible. Where is she?"

Shen E was much happier to see Shen Jiao was willing to respond. "She's been dressing up since she got up this morning, and she's still busy now."

Then he turned around and glanced at the steward beside him, "Go, take a few young ladies over."

Shen Jiao frowned slightly. It was reasonable to say that the younger generation had their own circles, but this was the Xiao family after all, and she still wasn't that confident in Shen E.

Shen E noticed her worry and patted the back of her hand subtly, "They are all sisters. We haven't seen each other for a long time. It would be nice for them to get closer."

Fu Sui'er quickly agreed, holding Jiang Huashan with one hand and Shen Mianzhi with the other, "Mom, I heard that the Xiao family's lake view is amazing. I haven't seen it yet, so I want to go and see it."

Seeing this, Shen Jiao didn't know what to say, so she nodded and said, "Don't make trouble. If you have anything to discuss, come to the main hall and talk to me."

at the same time--

In front of the gorgeous floor-length mirror, Xiao Lanlan was wearing a bright red strapless fishtail dress with an intricate pattern of flying phoenixes embroidered with gold thread. The dress was dazzling, yet also had a solemnity and deliberateness that was inconsistent with her age.

She looked left and right in the mirror, her slender fingers stroking the dazzling diamond necklace around her neck, but her brows were slightly furrowed, as she always felt that something was not perfect enough.

In the shadows of the room's corner, heavy velvet curtains swayed slightly, and a slender figure slowly walked out. Shen Nian was wearing a dark casual suit that looked out of place at the banquet. A playful smile played at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were as cold as ice.

"What's the point of dressing so fancy? It still won't stop those people from talking." He was like a poisonous snake lurking in the shadows. He walked behind Xiao Lanlan, looked at her through the mirror, and lowered his voice, "Instead of racking your brains for these nonsense, you might as well think about how to kill Jiang Huashan."

Xiao Lanlan ignored him and continued to concentrate on adjusting the angle of the earrings.

Shen Nian frowned and stared at her with a little dissatisfaction, "Did you hear what I said?"

"I heard it~" Xiao Lanlan sneered, turned around and leaned against the dressing table leisurely, "What's the rush? This is the Xiao family's territory. Even Xiao Qi died in my hands, let alone someone outside the Xiao family?"

She suddenly thought of something interesting, leaned forward slightly, covered her mouth and giggled: "I'll tell you a secret, I've already prepared a big show for Jiang Huashan, just wait and see."

As she spoke, she thought of something else, and her smile froze instantly. She stared at Shen Nian intently, "But you, didn't you send a message to Zhou Yanheng? How come there is no reply? If Zhou Yanheng doesn't join the game, how can I sing this play?"

He looked at Xiao Lanlan meaningfully: "What? At this time, you are still thinking about Zhou Yanheng?"

Xiao Lanlan's heart began to beat violently at these three words. She covered her heart and looked at herself in the mirror with deep affection.

&34;I have never forgotten him for a moment!&34;
