Zhou Jingyan hugged Shen Anran into his arms and looked at Uncle Shen with cold eyes.

"An An has her own choice. As for the banquet hosted by the Lin family, you can just ask them directly."

Jiang Wanqing also quickly agreed: "Jingyan is right, we didn't know anything about this matter, let alone an invitation. Uncle San, if you want to go, just ask the Lin family directly."

There was a hint of coldness in Uncle Shen's eyes, and he had already contacted his old friends.

I learned that the number of invitation cards was limited and I couldn't get two extra ones for him, so I had to find another way.

This banquet was not only hosted by the Lin family, but also attended by high-level officials from various countries. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him.

If he could establish connections with these people, his status and influence might surpass that of Shen Zhenting's family.

He learned Shen Anran's true identity from his friends, and he never expected that Shen Anran, the seemingly inconspicuous girl, was actually Lin Yunfei's daughter.

With this relationship, the Shen family must have received the invitation, so he had no choice but to come and ask for help.

However, Shen Zhenting's family's words and deeds were full of sarcasm.

This made him feel angry, but he couldn't find a suitable outlet to vent.

Shen Zhenting has always been a burden on him, making him feel extremely aggrieved. If Shen Anran is really a child of the Lin family, wouldn't he be even more ashamed in front of Shen Zhenting?

But now it seems that the Shen family does not intend to send Shen Anran back easily.

He must attend this banquet. Only by coming into contact with people of higher status can he have the opportunity to stand at the top.

It seems that he can only think of another way...

Something suddenly popped up in Uncle Shen's mind. He turned to Jiang Wanqing and said slowly, "I wonder if you still remember the bracelet your mother always wore when she was alive."

Jiang Wanqing's pupils dilated instantly when she heard this, and her voice trembled a little: "What do you mean by this?"

Back then, before her death, my mother was still worried about one thing - she accidentally lost the Jiang family heirloom.

Could it be that he took it away?

Uncle Shen saw this and quickly clarified: "It wasn't me. The truth is, someone sold it to me. It may be hard to believe, but that person was your brother, Jiang Min."

Jiang Wanqing was shocked and shook her head in disbelief. "How is this possible? How could Ah Min do such a thing?"

"He owed five million in gambling debts and was desperate, so he came to me with the bracelet. Because of the long-standing friendship between the Shen and Jiang families, I paid for the bracelet. I originally planned to find a suitable opportunity to return it, but unfortunately, I was busy with work and never found the right opportunity."

Shen Jiahe's eyes darkened. Of course, Third Uncle Shen couldn't be so kind.

He originally bought the bracelet thinking of using it to threaten Jiang Wanqing's mother, but unexpectedly Jiang Wanqing's mother died of illness two days later.

Uncle Shen didn't find a suitable opportunity, so the matter was put aside and gradually forgotten.

If he hadn't been so eager to get the Lin family's invitation letter at this time, he probably wouldn't have said this.

Jiang Wanqing stood there in a daze. She had never thought that her brother would gamble and even owe a large sum of money.

During that time, his mother was seriously ill, and Jiang Min rarely went home, looking distraught all day long.

At that time, she thought he couldn't accept his mother's serious illness, but the truth behind it was actually this...

Jiang Wanqing wanted to fulfill her mother's last wish and get the bracelet back, but she knew that Uncle Shen would not return it easily.

When Jiang Wanqing hesitated, Uncle Shen put further pressure on her.

He said to his son Shen Chong, "Shen Chong, go to my room and get the things in the cabinet."

"Okay." Shen Chong responded and left quickly.

The hall became quiet. Shen Anran and Shen Jiahe looked at each other. They understood the situation and knew that what Uncle Shen said was true.

All Uncle Shen wanted was an invitation to the banquet. At most, he could be given two invitations.

Shen Yifeng and Shen Zhenting exchanged glances, and Shen Zhenting immediately shook his head, suggesting that Shen Yifeng should not act rashly.

Shen Zhenting knew something about the Jiang family's past, and he also understood that his wife could not get over her mother-in-law's last words for a long time.

If Uncle Shen's goal was the Lin family's invitation, he could get it through his friends, but if his intention was...

A trace of worry flashed in Shen Zhenting's eyes. The internal relationships of the Lin family were complicated. Not only were there wealthy nobles, but also the royal family was involved.

If An Ran returns to that family, she will definitely encounter a lot of trouble.

Shen Zhenting, who has always been decisive in important matters, felt overwhelmed for the first time.

Half an hour later, Shen Chong walked into the hall with a box in his hand and placed it in front of Uncle Shen.

Uncle Shen opened the lid of the box, and before his eyes was a lustrous and warm jade bracelet, which emitted a soft luster under the light.

He pushed the box towards Jiang Wanqing and said calmly, "First, take a look and see if this bracelet is the one your mother had."

Jiang Wanqing suddenly stood up, her body trembling slightly. She picked up the box carefully, tears falling uncontrollably.

Yes, she recognized it at a glance as the jade bracelet her mother once wore.

This not only represents the Jiang family's inheritance token, but also a token of love given by her father to her mother.

Uncle Shen said in a cold tone: "Since you have confirmed that this is your mother's relic, should we talk about what I want next?"

Shen Zhenting stood up, supported his wife, and said to Uncle Shen, "I'll arrange for someone to take care of the invitations."

Shen Chong, who was standing next to him, whispered something in his father's ear, and Uncle Shen's expression immediately changed.

"I've changed my mind," Uncle Shen announced. "I want all of you to attend the banquet with me."

Shen Zhenting immediately understood Uncle Shen's intention and immediately refused, "Impossible."

Uncle Shen leaned back, looking a little arrogant.

He said, "Then I'll be frank. My friend told me that Lin Yunfei wants to reunite with Shen Anran. Maybe this banquet is held for her. I asked her to attend with me. As for whether she stays or leaves after entering, I won't ask."

Jiang Wanqing said excitedly: "No, I don't agree."

"Wanqing, the Lin family is not only wealthy and powerful, but also controls the royal family. Shen Anran will not suffer any loss if she returns to the Lin family. Moreover, I only asked her to accompany me. As for the rest of the story, she can stay or leave. I won't force her. I just asked her to show up."

Uncle Shen tried to persuade him earnestly, but there was a deep chill in his eyes.

If the Lin family cares about Shen Anran, he will definitely be valued by the Lin family if he takes Shen Anran with him. In this way, the plan to expand the business can be implemented smoothly.
