Chapter 3 Learning to Let Go

The dress had a long train, and two makeup artists helped to hold it up. Shen Jiaojiao stood outside the door of the banquet hall. This time, she was accompanied by Aunt Lin, who stood beside her and said, "Miss, relax. You look very beautiful today. Don't be nervous. We are about to enter."

Butler Zhao listened to the voices in his headphones. Not long after, the emcee finally arrived to set the mood. He asked everyone to welcome tonight's heroine with the warmest applause, and then signaled the bodyguards on both sides to slowly push the door open...

A beautiful person walked slowly into the hall surrounded by people. Lu Shize kept the theme of the banquet a secret this time. Shen Jiaojiao had asked him several times before, but the man remained tight-lipped and didn't reveal anything.

At this moment, she realized that the theme was a rose garden. Walking on the winding flower path, she was surrounded by fresh roses of various colors, like a beautiful dream. Dozens of white tables and chairs were arranged in a staggered manner... There was a grand piano in the pavilion in the air. A woman in a suit was sitting there, and the melodious sound of the piano came as she played with her fingertips.

Shen Jiaojiao loves flowers, and the bow behind her makes her look like a butterfly strolling among them. She also loves colorful bubbles, so Lu Shize arranged several two-meter-tall simulated bubbles in different colors on the banquet table, making it convenient for Shen Jiaojiao to take photos with her friends later. From the moment they entered the venue, three cameramen immediately started recording, meticulously capturing every moment.

Shen Jiaojiao thought her uncle would be waiting at the door or on the stage, but he was nowhere to be seen. She just looked at the housekeeper silently. Old Zhao walked over respectfully and explained in a low voice, "The master said that tonight is your 20th birthday banquet. You have to start being independent from now on and walk the flower path. I believe you can do it by yourself."

Looking across the crowd, at a round table somewhere, a man was clapping softly and nodding at her with a loving smile on his face. The child was very confident today and had really grown up a lot.

Shen Jiaojiao hurriedly waved to him, but she just wondered why her uncle was sitting so far away?

The emcee took her to greet everyone and answered a few small questions. It was not until they took a group photo that Lu Shize walked over to Shen Jiaojiao. Shen Jiaojiao habitually wanted to hold his hand, but the man quietly withdrew and took her to greet everyone present...

Amidst the pleasantries, she received numerous blessings for her 20th birthday party. After half an hour and several rounds of greetings, Shen Jiaojiao finally sat together with her two classmates.

The whole process was luxurious and orderly. Fang Zhi said enviously, "Jiaojiao, I know your family is rich, but I never thought you could be so rich..."

Shen Jiaojiao wanted to say that these all belonged to her uncle, and strictly speaking, they were not hers. However, when she looked up again, her uncle was no longer by the floor-to-ceiling window.

Lu Yanran followed his gaze and asked, "Are you looking for your uncle?"

"Um···"

Lu Yanran smiled and said, "Why are you acting like a child? Can't you live without your uncle for even a second?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiaojiao blushed. Lu Yanran wanted to say something more as a friend... The emcee's announcement sounded again, and several makeup artists ran over with bent waists and reminded, "Miss, we can go in and change our clothes. The masquerade will be next."

The two bodyguards had also come over, and Shen Jiaojiao hurriedly asked, "I know, where did my uncle go?"

One of the bodyguards shook his head and said, "We were not allowed to follow. We must have gone to the inner room. The boss told you not to be nervous and just follow the host's arrangements."

Many of the handsome men and beautiful women attending the event also went in to change clothes. Shen Jiaojiao couldn't find Lu Shize, so she had to follow them in. This time, she changed into a lighter dress and a pair of dancing shoes. The makeup artist wanted to put a mask on her, but the housekeeper hurriedly said, "Wear it before entering. Wear it now, be careful not to make the lady's skin red."

This is the most precious person to my husband, and we cannot make any mistakes. If it gets red, it will hurt, and everyone's performance will be deducted tonight.

Special Assistant Chen reported to Lu Shize in his ear that he had sent people to D County in the past few days. Lu Shize nodded and said calmly, "The information is important, but I want to see the person more."

"Yes, don't worry. These few..." He lowered his voice and moved closer, "They are ruthless in their work, we can definitely bring the people here."

The lights in the box were a little dim, and the man's emotions could not be seen. Lu Shize picked up the glass. Seven or eight meters away, a partner he had met a few times was holding a glass of wine and toasting him respectfully. He also gestured to the opposite side.

"Be ruthless and let the person involved see it. Don't cause any real trouble, and don't let others see or photograph it."

The man's gaze was directed at the partner opposite, but his low voice was indifferently directed to the special assistant. Special Assistant Chen nodded quickly and left quickly after receiving the instructions. Only then did Lu Shize smile slightly at the businessman opposite.

Seeing this, the partner opposite hurried over and said, "Hey, Mr. Lu, I'm Chen Binggen who works in cement. Old Chen, I didn't know if you still remember me..."

Then there were just greetings.

After Chen Binggen left, Lu Shize dealt with a few more people and drank a few glasses of wine. He was almost done with the socializing. He felt uneasy because the little one was going to sleep on the cruise ship tonight. So he got up and went to the suite on the 3rd floor.

Aunt Xue was leading a few waiters to add mattresses to the bed. When she saw Mr. come in, she hurried over respectfully, bent down and reported, "Sir, we have already added four mattresses as you ordered. Do you think they are soft enough now?"

Lu Shize took a look and saw that everyone was wearing white cotton gloves. The beds were carefully arranged and looked soft enough. "Leave two extra mattresses. In case Jiaojiao still feels it is too hard and can't sleep, you can just add more."

"Yes, sir, the bathroom is over here, please..."

Led by Aunt Xue, Lu Shize walked to the bathroom and looked at the bath towels and aromatherapy they had prepared, as well as a basket of rose petals with essential oils on them. He thought that Jiaojiao would feel as comfortable as at home after taking a bath.

Aunt Xue has taken care of Shen Jiaojiao for more than 14 years, and she even arranged what music she should listen to when taking a bath. Lu Shize looked at her a few more times and said, "...The boat is a bit rocky, so you must take good care of Jiaojiao."

"Yes".

The coming-of-age ceremony banquet completely centered around Shen Jiaojiao, and the entire process was arranged in a way that made her feel comfortable. Not only did she have a great time, she also remembered to stuff a few pieces of cake into her mouth.

However, after not speaking to my uncle for over two hours, I called over to the housekeeper, "Uncle, has he eaten yet? Is he still entertaining people?"

The butler still shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. "The master just said, 'Let us take good care of you. Are you...hungry? Is there anything you want to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to make it for you."

Fang Zhi and Lu Yanran's families weren't actually bad, and they both had villas in different cities. But the friendships among these young ladies usually formed a triangle, with the wealthiest person in the middle, someone like Shen Jiaojiao. The rest of the group revolved around her, but they were all somewhat less wealthy. Tonight's coming-of-age ceremony, compared to others he had held and witnessed, Shen Jiaojiao's was enviable.

Fang Zhi was pulled by Shen Jiaojiao and quickly turned her face to the side. Shen Jiaojiao whined, "Old Fang, come and lean against Old Shen. I'm tired of looking at handsome guys tonight."

Fang Zhi laughed out loud, "Tired? Then how about we go out and enjoy the sea breeze? Stop looking at handsome guys?"

Shen Jiaojiao was too lazy to get up and just shook her head, "No, I'll just sit here and stare blankly." The dance skirt had a very large hem, but in order to slim down her figure, it was tightly wrapped around her plump figure. Shen Jiaojiao tugged at it impatiently, leaning against Fang Zhi, resting her face on her shoulder, not wanting to move at all.

Just now at the masquerade, I caught a glimpse of my 'male god' Gu Sheng, but we didn't have a single conversation...

Lu Yanran handed over the fruit wine, "...Would you like to try some?"

Yes, I’m 20 years old today, and my uncle said I can drink now!

Shen Jiaojiao's eyes lit up, and she immediately took it and took a sip. It had a bit of the sourness unique to the fruit, but it also had a lingering sweetness in her mouth. Then, she took another sip with joy.

Fang Zhi saw her face was a little red, and teased, "Why are you blushing so quickly? Tell me, are you attracted to some handsome guy?"

Lu Yanran smiled and said, "Maybe Jiaojiao wants to pretend to be drunk so that she can go find her idol Gu Sheng..."
