The sudden appearance of the Chu Family was unexpected by everyone. Not only were the attendees of the banquet talking about it, but even the Shen Family displayed confusion.
"Strange, I didn’t invite... the Chu Family." Sir Shen furrowed his eyebrows slightly, seemingly contemplating something.
But with the murmuring growing louder, he couldn’t afford to think too much.
Yet it was Shen Yu who abruptly stood up straighter, his eyes filled with mischievous colors as he looked at Rong Yan and said, "Perhaps the Chu Family heard that Grandfather has returned to the country, and came specifically for that."
He heard all the discussions around him; the Chu Family ing at this time, aside from giving their family face, what else could it be? Surely they didn’t e just for a meal!
Previously, the Lin Family and that female celebrity showed them no courtesy, causing his mother and grandfather to beg with embarrassment. Now that the Chu Family had arrived, he wondered how that female celebrity could continue to prance around!
Anyway, the marriage agreement between the Lin Family and the Chu Family is genuine. If that female celebrity truly thinks it’s so easy to enter a rich family, she’s mistaken. She snatched someone else’s fiancé, so she shouldn’t be surprised if the family es knocking.
"You mean they came especially for my meritorious banquet?" Sir Shen pursed his lips, shaking his head, "You don’t understand the Chu Family; they wouldn’t make a trip just for something like this. They have long ceased contacts with families in Capital City."
What he didn’t mention was that neither his family nor himself had the sway to get the Chu Family to e all this way just to congratulate him!
But Shen Yu disagreed. He lifted his chin slightly, placently saying, "Grandfather, just because the Chu Family doesn’t interact with ordinary families doesn’t mean they wouldn’t with us. Mr. and Mrs. Chu are here; it can’t be a façade. This is a hotel, they own property in Capital City, and if they wanted a place to stay, they wouldn’t at our invested hotel! They wouldn’t simply e here to eat; I’ve already notified the hotel to reserve it for tonight."
Listening to the speculative voices around him, Shen Yu straightened his back even more, feeling proud and pushing Sir Shen’s wheelchair, "Grandfather, if Mr. and Mrs. Chu are here, there’s only one possibility — they’re here to wish you a long life. If you insist there’s another reason, the only attraction here for them might be Miss Rong."
He didn’t say what attraction Rong Yan had for the Chu Family, yet he made no effort to hide the contempt and disdain in his eyes.
Lin Wei and Li Shengxiao didn’t show them respect, yet unexpectedly, the Chu Family showed up at his grandfather’s banquet, giving the Shen Family face, indirectly slapping the Lin Family’s face.
Knowing that throughout Hua Country, the only families that could rival the Lin Family were the Zhong Family and the Chu Family.
The Zhong Family’s relationship with their family was average, and they didn’t e today.
Lin Wei came, yes, but earlier they had lowered themselves to plead with Siyuan, and they didn’t relent. If at this moment the Chu Family inserts themselves, the situation bees unpredictable...
Shen Yu eagerly told Sir Shen, "Grandfather, since we have distinguished guests, we, as hosts, mustn’t be rude. Let me push you over to greet Mr. and Mrs. Chu."
Sir Shen had lived decades longer than him, thought more prehensively than he did. Not as optimistic, yet he couldn’t suppress the joy on his face due to the astonishment and pliments surrounding them, coughing lightly, he said steadily, "That’s true."
He spoke to Lin Wei on the side, "Lin, chat amongst yourselves while I go greet the guests."
Lin Wei nodded, his face showing no signs of losing posure, steadier than anyone else, "Go ahead."
