Chapter 41 Where is my sister's mother?
Jiang Huaixu, Qi Yanchao, and Song Yan arrived at the hotel one after another.
The invitation letter that Rong Shu sent to them.
When they arrived.
They happened to run into Su Qingzhi and An Qingyue.
They are here today to attend a birthday banquet.
However, they went to the more upscale reception hall on the 16th floor.
After exchanging a few words with Jiang Huaixu, Su Qingzhi led An Qingyue upstairs.
After the two left.
The three of them then took the next elevator.
Inside the Sheng family mansion.
Today, on this day of reunion, the Sheng and Fu families are gathered together.
Last year's event was held at the Fu family's residence.
This year, I'm staying at the Sheng family's place.
The Fu family members arrived one after another.
The living room on the first floor was bustling with activity, with children laughing and chatting, and adults talking about everyday things.
It was almost noon.
People have gradually arrived.
When Sheng Tingchen arrived, he was alone, and he greeted the elders one by one.
After taking your seats.
Not seeing Sheng Tingze, Old Madam Fu asked Fu Ying, "Where's Xiaoze?"
Fu Ying said, "He said he's going to Xiaoshu's father's wedding today and won't be back for lunch."
These words were spoken.
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
Upon seeing this, Fu Ying belatedly realized that she might have said something she shouldn't have. Rong Shu hadn't come today, and her mother-in-law hadn't reacted much. She assumed that her mother-in-law and father-in-law knew, but judging from their reactions, they were clearly unaware.
Madam Fu naturally noticed the unusual atmosphere, and her expression stiffened. She first glanced at her old man, then at Sheng Tingchen, her expression indifferent, as if she didn't care at all about her father-in-law's wedding.
She didn't press further, saying, "I see."
After everyone took their seats in the restaurant,
The atmosphere of reunion remained harmonious, and the absence of one or two people seemed to have no impact whatsoever.
However, the conversation naturally avoided mentioning Rong Shu's unborn child, since mentioning it would inevitably involve Rong Shu again.
Clearly, the name Rong Shu is now a very sensitive one.
But children don't understand adults' emotions.
Nannan looked at Sheng Tingchen and asked, "Uncle Sheng, where is my sister? I can't see her."
Fu Xingzhou served food to Nannan and answered for Sheng Tingchen, saying, "The little sister hasn't been born yet."
The little girl asked, "Is my little sister still in her mother's tummy before she's even born?"
"Yes, she's still in her mother's belly."
"And what about the younger sister's mother?"
"..."
"Alright, Nannan, you'll see your little sister soon. Let's eat first, and after we finish, Daddy will take you to play." Fu Xingzhou quickly diverted Nannan's attention.
Because he clearly noticed the gaze his grandfather was giving him.
Madam Fu was worried about what the old man might say, but fortunately he didn't mention Rong Shu.
Not long after lunch.
After receiving a phone call, Sheng Tingchen told his elders that he was about to leave.
Looking at Sheng Tingchen, Old Fu suddenly said, "If you have someone else in your heart, you should just get a divorce as soon as possible, so that neither of you will waste each other's time."
These words directly named someone, and everyone's expressions varied, creating a subtle atmosphere.
Madam Fu stared at her husband, who finally couldn't hold back his words, "What are you saying, old man! A day for family reunion."
Old Fu snorted.
Madam Fu quickly tried to smooth things over, "Your Grandpa Fu was just joking! Tingchen, don't take it to heart."
Sheng Tingchen smiled faintly, "I'll take my leave now."
Inside the hotel.
Rong Shu and Jiang Huaixu sat at the main table. Rong Qingwen, Pei Lanhua, and Pei Yu returned to their seats after toasting in turn.
Today is a joyous day.
Everyone's face was beaming with smiles.
After finishing their meal, Rong Shu and Song Yan sat down and chatted. When they heard Pei Yu and Sheng Tingze talking about work, it was as if they had instantly found kindred spirits.
The integration of game development and AI is now very common.
Sheng Tingze's game project will also utilize relevant technologies, but its difficulty will certainly be incomparable to the AI technology of ordinary games.
The company that had already partnered with him was a top-tier technology company in the industry, and the price he offered was very generous. However, after a month of working overtime to refine the collaboration, they still couldn't achieve the results that Sheng Tingze wanted, and he is currently worried about this matter.
After chatting with Pei Yu for a few minutes, Sheng Tingze felt as if he had suddenly seen a glimmer of hope.
I've decided to go check out Pei Yu's company later.
Jiang Huaixu discussed the company's financing with Pei Yu. The internal three rounds of review have been completed, and the contract can be signed after New Year's Day.
Rong Qingwen was overjoyed to hear their conversation and toasted Jiang Huaixu again to express his gratitude.
Jiang Huaixu said, "Uncle Rong, you're too kind. It's not like I'm helping anyone. Boheng Technology was chosen by Rong En because of its promising development prospects. It was only after strict internal review that the investment was decided. In the future, we will rely on Boheng to make profits. It's a win-win situation."
"Indeed, it's mutually beneficial, hahaha!"
"..."
Rong Qingwen drank quite a lot of alcohol today because he was in a good mood, and no amount of persuasion could stop him.
A rare day off.
Rong Shu played mahjong with Song Yan, Jiang Huaixu, and Qi Yanchao for an entire afternoon. Rong Shu couldn't sit for too long, so Pei Lanhua took her place.
Rong Qingwen got drunk and slept in his hotel room.
Pei Yu and Sheng Tingze went to Boheng.
Six p.m.
The wedding banquet has officially concluded.
Rong Qingwen and Pei Lanhua saw the guests off one by one.
There will be a fireworks display and drone show along the riverbank tonight.
Pei Lanhua was worried about Rong Shu's big belly, but Song Yan said, "Aunt Pei, don't worry. There are five of us here. We would never let Xiao Shu lose a single hair. We will definitely send Xiao Shu home safely."
Pei Yu said, "Mom, don't worry, we will take good care of Xiao Shu."
Rong Shu said, "Aunt Pei is fine."
Rong Qingwen and Pei Lanhua then agreed.
The group left the hotel by car.
The group left.
Rong Qingwen and Pei Lanhua walked into the hotel; they still needed to settle the bill.
On the way back.
Hotel guests began to leave one after another.
Su Qingzhi and the host of today's birthday banquet walked out of the hotel.
Rong Qingwen was talking to Pei Lanhua and didn't pay much attention to the people in front of them. Su Qingzhi was chatting with someone else.
A fleeting brush past each other.
Su Qingzhi stopped abruptly as she approached the hotel entrance.
The middle-aged man beside him looked at him and asked in confusion, "Qingzhi, what's wrong?"
Su Qingzhi glanced back, but didn't see the fleeting figure again. He looked away and replied, "It's nothing."
After saying goodbye to her master, Su Qingzhi got into the car and received a call from An Qingyue.
"Brother, we're waiting for you. Come over quickly."
"Um."
"..."
