Beijing Colors Lingering

At this moment, inside a private room in the banquet hall.

As soon as He Zhenzhen sat back down next to Shen Jinsui, Qiao Yunshu immediately stared at her and asked, "What were you doing just now? Why were you pointing at me?"

He Zhenzhen smiled awkwardly, and after considering it carefully, replied, "It's nothing, I just wanted you to get to know my uncle, just like making another friend."

Qiao Yunshu's expression instantly turned speechless. She reached out and poked He Zhenzhen's shoulder, muttering to herself, "He Zhenzhen, you might as well switch careers and become a matchmaker."

He Zhenzhen smiled and took Qiao Yunshu's arm, grinning and saying, "Anyway, you and my uncle are both single, so it doesn't matter."

Shen Jinsui chuckled softly and casually chimed in, "I think He Sinian is quite handsome. If you two are destined to be together, you can try to get to know each other."

He Zhenzhen nodded quickly upon hearing this, "Sui Sui is right."

Qiao Yunshu pushed He Zhenzhen away, revealing a standard eight-tooth smile, and replied in an extremely perfunctory manner, "Let's talk about it later."

"Ding!"

Shen Jinsui's phone vibrated. She immediately lowered her eyes, unlocked it, and checked the messages.

Afterwards, Shen Jinsui replied to the other party's message, and after thinking about it carefully for a while, she said to He Zhenzhen, "Zhenzhen, Ji Yan will be here in a while. Please ask Qi Mingyuan to help take care of him."

He Zhenzhen understood what she meant and immediately nodded, "Don't worry, I'll talk to Qi Mingyuan in a little while."

As a friend of Shen Jinsui for many years, Ji Yan was naturally invited to Shen Jinsui's birthday party.

However, Ji Yan was not familiar with Shen Jinsui's brother's friends, nor did he know the guests invited by the Cheng family, so he had to ask Qi Mingyuan to take good care of him to avoid making him feel embarrassed.

At this moment, Ye Jinwen and Jiang Yining walked into the private room.

Afterwards, Jiang Yining took the bag and gift bag from Ye Jinwen's hand, left him, and sat down next to Shen Jinsui.

"Happy birthday, Sui Sui." Jiang Yining handed the bag in her hand to Shen Jin Sui.

"Thank you." Shen Jinsui accepted the gift from her.

He Zhenzhen looked at Jiang Yining and asked curiously, "Why are you only arriving now? I was just wondering why you didn't come with Ye Jinwen."

Jiang Yining sighed softly, then explained, "I had an exam this afternoon, so I'm a little late."

Shen Jinsui gently patted her shoulder, "You've worked hard, you rushed over right after finishing your exams."

He Zhenzhen nodded slightly upon hearing this, comforting Jiang Yining: "You'll have an easier time after you graduate, you won't have to take exams anymore."

-

At the same time, Ji Yan drove to the hotel entrance, took the invitation, got out of the car, and walked towards the banquet hall after being checked by security personnel.

Shortly after Ji Yan stepped into the banquet hall, he saw several elders of the Cheng family, walked over to them, and politely greeted them one by one.

Cheng Yao looked at him, "Ji Yan, it's been so long since I've seen you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Yan looked apologetic and quickly replied, "Uncle Cheng, I'm usually too busy with work, so I haven't been able to visit you often. I'm sorry for being so rude."

Cheng Yao waved his hand and said, "I know you're busy with work, so I certainly won't blame you."

Shen Jinzhi looked at Ji Yan and asked him, "How is your mother doing lately?"

“Aunt Shen, my mother’s health has been relatively stable,” Ji Yan replied.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Jinzhi said, "That's good. If you need any help, just let us know. As for the treatment costs, you don't need to worry at all. Continue to find the best doctors and medications to treat your mother."

Ji Yan nodded slightly and smiled gently, "Thank you, Aunt Shen."

Among the guests present, some recognized Ji Yan. They knew he was a young doctor who had been featured in the news, worked at the Beijing First People's Hospital, and was highly skilled with a promising future.

Seeing how familiar Ji Yan was with the Cheng family, a few people began to have their own ideas.

For families that do not intend to have their daughters marry into other families, Ji Yan would be a suitable son-in-law.

Soon, people started to approach Ji Yan and chat with him. After a few words, they began to ask him if he was single.

When Ji Yan heard similar questions, he always politely indicated that he currently had no plans to date.

After hearing Ji Yan's answer, everyone felt it was a pity and said nothing more.

Before long, the birthday party reached the cake-cutting ceremony, and the host was about to appear before everyone.

Then, several waiters pushed a giant birthday cake slowly onto the stage in the banquet hall.

The cake's overall design resembles a fairytale castle, covered with a layer of pure white and milky pink frosting, and the tray is sprinkled with sparkling diamonds.

In the very center is a multi-tiered cake, each layer adorned with intricate and delicate piping decorations.

Each layer of the cake is adorned with diamond necklaces and rings made of edible platinum.

On the top layer of cake is a crown made of edible gold leaf, with two huge yellow and pink diamonds on the left and an amethyst and emerald as big as pigeon eggs on the right.

In front of the crown stand three capital letters “SJS” made of edible gold leaf.

The cake was served on a plate and cutlery set with Swarovski crystals.

A few minutes later, the birthday person was introduced to everyone by the banquet host.

Immediately afterwards, a man and a woman were seen slowly walking down the stairs.

Under the bright, dazzling lights, everyone could clearly see the woman's appearance: delicate and beautiful features, and skin as smooth as jade.

Her dress shimmered with dazzling light, like a galaxy cascading down to earth, showcasing her exquisite figure.

The man beside the woman had deep-set eyes, a high nose, and a clear, smooth jawline.

He wore a well-tailored black bespoke suit with handcrafted black leather shoes. He was tall and robust, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, and exuded a noble and aloof demeanor.

At that moment, Pei Chiyu, standing in the crowd, was stunned when he saw the woman's face clearly.

A few seconds later, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and his expression quickly changed unpredictably, as if a palette of colors had been overturned.

Then, he stared intently at the beautiful figure, his eyes filled with complex and indescribable emotions.

Pei Chiyu had been talking to someone and learned that the youngest daughter of the Cheng family took her mother's surname, Shen. At the time, he never thought it would be Shen Jinsui.

Pei Chiyu clenched his fists, his brows furrowed, and he gradually felt deep regret.

Shen Jinsui is actually the youngest daughter of the Cheng family. If they hadn't broken up before, the man standing next to her right now would be me!

Standing next to Pei Chiyu, Fu Yueyan also saw the woman's appearance clearly and immediately showed an expression of great surprise.

Fu Yueyan originally thought that Shen Jinsui was just a woman being kept by someone, but she never expected that she would have such a prominent family background.

That's the Cheng family, at the very top of the pyramid; the Fu and Pei families are completely incomparable to them.

Thinking of this, a sense of jealousy slowly began to rise in her heart.

Fu Yueyan turned to look at Pei Chiyu, only to see him staring intently at Shen Jinsui.

Fu Yueyan suddenly felt very unhappy. Pei Chiyu, as her fiancé, was always paying attention to others and didn't care about her at all.

Yi Hang, standing on the other side, was only surprised for a few seconds. After all, he had guessed that Shen Jinsui's family background was definitely extraordinary, so he was not too surprised.

Yi Hang gradually revealed a look of anticipation, turned to stare at Pei Chiyu, and slowly said, "You regret breaking up with Shen Jinsui now, don't you? The Cheng family is a powerful family on par with the Zhou family. If you could have married Shen Jinsui, the Pei family wouldn't have fallen into your sister's hands."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Chiyu's expression became increasingly complicated and unpleasant. He moved his lips, but could not say anything, as if someone had firmly gripped his throat.

Fu Yueyan's expression darkened upon hearing Yi Hang's words, and she couldn't help but turn and glare at him.

Yi Hang received Fu Yueyan's menacing glare, then shrugged indifferently; after all, he was just telling the truth.

At the same time, Gu Shihe, who had just come out of the restroom, returned to the banquet hall.

Grandpa Gu coughed lightly, gesturing for Gu Shihe to look ahead, and then said in a deep voice, "That is Gu family's youngest daughter, Shen Jinsui. She takes her mother's surname, Shen, and is also Zhou Yancong's girlfriend."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Shihe glanced at her grandfather and then looked over, where she saw two familiar figures.

For a moment, Gu Shihe's expression froze, she could hardly believe it, and extremely complex emotions quickly surfaced in her eyes.

How could it be her?

She was actually the youngest daughter of the Cheng family!

After a moment, Gu Shihe thought to herself, was Zhou Yancong only dating Shen Jinsui because he was interested in her family background?

The Gu family is indeed inferior to the Cheng family. No wonder Zhou Yancong disagreed with her engagement back then, but is now willing to be with Shen Jinsui.
