Chapter 126

As for Cen Songbai and Fu Junsheng, they didn\'t go together.

Days went by in an orderly fashion, and on this day, Shen Tang finished work early and returned home.

Since she arrived home, Shen Tang hadn\'t seen any other members of the Shen family. Tonight was the banquet hosted by the Shen family\'s main branch.

Their branch was not particularly famous, and they held no real power in the company, receiving only a small dividend each year.

But Shen Tang actually thought it was fine this way. After all, her uncle and aunt\'s personalities were clearly not suited for dealing with people in the workplace.

As soon as Shen Tang arrived home, her aunt came to greet her.

She linked her arm with Shen Tang\'s and said as they walked, "Tang Tang, you finally came back. The evening gowns have been delivered. Take a look and see which one you like."

"I can go with any of them."

"No, you must pick the one you like the most. Our Tang Tang will definitely dazzle everyone at the event."

It had to be said that her aunt had a great sense of aesthetics. Every gown was beautiful and had a Chinese style to it.

When Shen Tang put one on, at first glance, one would think she was a gentle and graceful beauty from Jiangnan.

Of course, that was on the condition that she didn\'t argue with anyone.

After all, her mouth was too sharp.

Her aunt was a bit hesitant and looked at Shen Yu, saying, "Xiaoyu, which one do you think looks better?"

"Whatever Tang Tang wears will look good."

"Pick the one that looks the best."

Shen Yu was quite conflicted and said, "I can\'t decide."

"What\'s the use of you then?"

Shen Yu: "..."

He couldn\'t argue with his dad, but he still didn\'t dare to argue with his mom. He stood there, feeling wronged and not daring to say a word.

Shen Tang realized that it seemed like everyone in the Shen family had a bit of decision-making difficulty.

She chose a lotus pink dress that wasn\'t too plain or too flashy, just right.

"Okay, then this one. The others can be saved for another time."

After everything was packed up, the family got into the car and headed to the banquet.

It wasn\'t Shen Tang\'s first time attending a banquet, but it was the first time she felt so nervous.

Her aunt gently patted her hand and said, "Don\'t be afraid, most of the people in the Shen family... um, are good people. The main purpose of going this time is to introduce you to them, just meet each other. If you don\'t want to see them in the future, you don\'t have to. Anyway, the relationship isn\'t that good."

Hearing these words, Shen Tang suspected that there was something she didn\'t know.

However, "What do you mean by \'most of the people are good\'? Are there bad people too?"

There shouldn\'t be anyone doing anything wicked, right?

Her aunt hesitated and didn\'t say anything, but Shen Yu didn\'t care about those things and said directly:

"It\'s nothing, just that some people are very focused on their own interests, preparing to sell their daughters. In the end, that sister didn\'t even come back home."

Shen Tang inexplicably felt that these words sounded familiar, but upon careful consideration, it seemed unlikely. The world couldn\'t be that small, right?

After they arrived at the banquet, Shen Tang unexpectedly found out that the world was indeed that small.

After briefly greeting the people from the main branch of the Shen family, Shen Tang was free to move around.

It has to be said, the outfit I\'m wearing today is quite deceiving, as many men who approached were turned away by Shen Yu.

He whispered, "Sister Tangtang, I know all these guys, none of them are any good."

Although he didn\'t like Gu Huaian, compared to these people, Gu Huaian was still better.

Shen Tang was curious and couldn\'t help but ask, "What\'s wrong with them? Any juicy gossip?"

"See that guy with the big quiff? He has eighteen mistresses. Last week, I saw him going to the urology clinic for a check-up."

Shen Tang widened her eyes. Wow, there\'s actually gossip, and it\'s such an exciting one.

"Wait, how did you know?"

She became suspicious. Could it be that Shen Yu also...

Should she tell her uncle and aunt about this?

Shen Yu: "..."

"No, I was just driving by."

"Oh~"

Shen Yu took a deep breath and looked at another man wearing a floral shirt. "Don\'t judge him by his playboy appearance. In reality, he\'s quite innocent. He was deceived by his online girlfriend and still hasn\'t gotten over it."

"Why doesn\'t he go after her?"

"What\'s there to pursue? That online girlfriend turned out to be a guy."

Shen Tang almost burst out laughing. How amusing, she never expected to encounter an online joke in real life.

But it seems like this guy is also quite pitiful.

"Don\'t feel sorry for him either. When he was younger, he did some bad things, like bullying a female classmate. And that online girlfriend seems to be the brother of that girl."

Wow, it\'s like a novel plot.

Suddenly, Shen Tang noticed someone familiar not far away.

She tapped Shen Yu\'s arm and said, "I\'m going to take a look ahead, wait for me here."

Shen Tang walked over, and when she saw the person walking faster, she couldn\'t help but quicken her pace and jogged over.

Just as she turned the corner, she was pressed against the wall.

"Tangtang?"

"What are you doing here?" Shen Lan let go.

Shen Tang was pleasantly surprised, "Sister Lan, it\'s really you!"

"I came with my family." Shen Tang briefly explained what had happened recently.

Shen Lan sighed, "I heard about it before, but I never expected that person to be you."

"Yeah, I never thought I had family either. By the way, Sister Lan, why are you here too? Are you also a member of the Shen family?"

A trace of mockery flashed across Shen Lan\'s face, "I\'d rather not be a member of the Shen family."

"I came back this time to see my mom. I heard she was sick, but it turned out she faked it to trick me into coming for a blind date."

"Huh?"

Shen Tang was truly surprised this time. She never expected someone to do something like that.

"So, what about you now?"

"I was originally planning to leave, but since you\'re here, I won\'t go just yet. It\'s been so long since I\'ve seen you. How have you been? And what about Gu Huaian? Didn\'t he come with you this time?"

Shen Tang awkwardly smiled. She didn\'t even know what relationship she and Gu Huaian had now.

If she said they were together, they wouldn\'t even contact each other.

If she said they weren\'t together, there\'s still the marriage certificate lying there, and they both have feelings for each other.

"He didn\'t come."

Shen Lan noticed that Shen Tang\'s expression seemed off and tactfully changed the subject.

The two of them had an incredibly engaging conversation, and Shen Tang couldn\'t help but think that there was no such thing as an instant connection. It turns out that there was a predestined relationship between them all along, and unexpectedly, Lanjie (older sister) turned out to be her sister.

"Miss Shen, I didn\'t expect to find you here."

A male voice sounded, and Shen Tang looked over to see a handsome man standing not far away, a faint smile playing on his lips.

Shen Lan\'s face instantly changed.

Shen Tang was a bit confused and refrained from speaking rashly.

"I don\'t know who this is..."

The man looked at Shen Tang, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.

Shen Lan shifted her position, placing herself between Shen Tang and the man. "This is my younger sister. What business do you have with Young Master Zhou?"

The man named Young Master Zhou regretfully withdrew his gaze. "Can\'t I look for you if there\'s nothing going on? After all, we are engaged."

Shen Lan\'s face turned cold as she spoke, "Young Master Zhou seems to have misunderstood something. I never agreed to it."

Young Master Zhou\'s expression also became unusually ugly. "What do you mean?"

Shen Tang poked her head out from behind Shen Lan. "Sir, can\'t you understand? Sister Lanjie said she didn\'t agree to the engagement with you."

"Heh, do you think I\'m willing to be engaged to you? Besides a little bit of looks, what else do you have? If it weren\'t for your father begging my family, do you think you would have a chance to be engaged to me?"

"You don\'t have to worry about that, Young Master Zhou."

Shen Tang couldn\'t hold back and retorted, "Better to have some looks than to have none at all. If you don\'t have a mirror, there\'s always urine. Why don\'t you take a look at yourself and see if you\'re worthy!"

Young Master Zhou\'s face turned livid, and he couldn\'t help but raise his hand.

Shen Tang sarcastically said, "Oh dear, is someone losing control and about to hit a woman? Surely not!"
