CHAPTER 984: Congratulations and Congratulations
It was the day of engagement, a day of great happiness. All the big shots gathered together.
How could it not be lively? The two most dazzling stars today were Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu. Qin Sheng was unrestrained most of the time. He had to wear formal clothes to look decent when he went to Chang 'an often. However, he was still far from being as dazzling as he was today. As for Song Ruyu, she had never looked so exquisite before. Perhaps it was because Song Ruyu was already so stunning that she didn't need to dress up. Even if she attended some activities or banquets, Song Ruyu would at most put on some light makeup and wear a gown. Today, the makeup alone was done by a professional team, not to mention this gown that had been carefully selected.
However, how could such a grand occasion lack the presence of these big shots? Without the presence of these distinguished big shots, how could the importance of this engagement banquet be highlighted?
Especially Old Master Song and Old Lady Zhu. Although the two family's stabilizing forces were not in good health and had been resting in the hospital for many days, today was the engagement party of their favorite granddaughter and favorite grandson. The two old people said that they had to attend no matter what. They would never miss it.
Moreover, this marriage was originally arranged by them. If they didn't attend, it would be a sensitive signal to the outside world. Of course, they didn't want the outside world to interpret it too much. After all, they both hoped that their granddaughter and grandson would be happy and not be disturbed by these trivial things.
At the main entrance of the winery, Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu stood in the middle. The Qin Family and Song Ruyu's parents stood behind them. They were all dressed up today. If people didn't know what was going on, they would think it was an important event. There were many beautiful women. Besides Song Ruyu, Qin Ran, Qin Jing, Xinxin, and Song Ruyu's genius cousin, Qin Sheng also saw Nangong. It was rare that Nangong didn't wear her usual clothes. She also wore a gown today, which surprised Qin Sheng. To be honest, Nangong's figure was really good, which was the result of daily exercise.
They didn't wait long at the entrance of the winery. The Zhu Family's motorcade was the first to arrive. All the members of the Zhu Family had come today. Even those who didn't come had sent their blessings and gifts, such as Zhu Jiayou's elder brother, who was far away from the frontier. This was the most important and lively event for the Zhu Family during this period. No one wanted to miss it.
When the motorcade stopped, the first people to get off were naturally the security personnel. This was understandable. After all, Zhu Weiguo's identity was the most special. These were all the rules. But soon after, the Zhu family members got off the motorcade.
Old Lady Zhu was helped out of the car by her daughter, Zhu Qingwen, and daughter-in-law, Wu Yajun. The old lady was wearing a red Tang suit today and looked very energetic. More importantly, the old lady was happier than ever. Her face was filled with a smile that couldn't be hidden.
After the Zhu Family's people got off the motorcade, they gathered in front of the Zhu Family's old lady like stars surrounding the moon. There were nearly 20 people, big and small, which showed how prosperous the Zhu Family was. The crowd at the entrance looked very imposing.
The most important figures, apart from the elderly Old Lady Zhu, were Zhu Weiguo and Zhu Changshun. One was an important figure in the military, while the other was a high-ranking official in charge of Shanghai. One had already reached the peak of his career, while the other had the possibility of advancing further in his career. How could the Zhu Family not be dazzling?
This was also the most important reason why many people didn't dare to hit the Qin Family when they were down. It was also the important reason why the Qin Family could turn the situation around.
Among the people present, only the three members of the Lin Family didn't know the details of the Zhu Family. Wang Li and Xinxin didn't care about the current political news, so they might not recognize Zhu Weiguo and Zhu Changshun. However, Lin Xi recognized the two important figures at a glance. He couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. No wonder there were military vehicles and police cars here today. Qin Sheng's grandmother's family was more powerful than he had imagined.
At this time, the Zhu Family had helped the old lady walk over slowly. The crowd at the entrance also hurried to welcome them. Today, the old lady didn't sit in a wheelchair and insisted on walking. Otherwise, she would be a disgrace to her grandson. No one could persuade her.
"Grandma." When Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu walked to the front of the old lady, they hurried to greet the old lady. As Song Ruyu's grandmother, the old lady's smile became wider. Even the other members of the Zhu Family had to admire Song Ruyu's magnanimity.
As for Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu's dazzling performance today, they had already seen it. They were not only amazed, but also proud and happy from the bottom of their hearts. Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu were really a talented couple.
They were a match made in heaven. Since Qin Sheng could marry such a daughter-in-law like Ruyu, the ancestors of the Zhu Family and the Qin Family were really lucky. Now, everyone could not help but marvel at the old lady's boldness. Many elders in the family could not settle the matter, but the old lady did it just like that.
Song Ruyu was such a beautiful, elegant and talented daughter-in-law. Who wouldn't want her?
At this time, the old lady also held Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu's hands and nodded with a smile. She was so excited that she didn't know what to say. However, the happiness and satisfaction in her eyes couldn't be hidden.
At this time, Zhao Anzhi walked forward on behalf of the Qin Family and said, "Old lady, you're so energetic today."
Zhao Anzhi hadn't seen the old lady of the Zhu Family for many years. After Qin Sheng's mother passed away, the Zhu Family was quite dissatisfied with the Qin Family. They didn't have any contact with each other except for the two children. Moreover, Zhao Anzhi had been in Canada all these years. Naturally, she didn't have any contact with the old lady anymore.
Although the old lady was dissatisfied with the Qin Family, Zhao Anzhi was only the daughter-in-law of the Qin Family. Moreover, it was such a happy event today, so the old lady couldn't put on airs. She said slowly, "Anzhi, you've worked hard during this period."
Hearing this, Zhao Anzhi was somewhat moved. She said, "Old lady, it's not hard at all. I'm very happy to see the two children together."
The old lady smiled and nodded at Zhao Anzhi. During this period, Zhao Anzhi had done for the Qin Family and the two children, which was obvious to all. The old lady was quite satisfied.
"Old lady, please come in." Zhao Anzhi welcomed the old lady.
At this time, Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu looked at their uncle, aunt, small aunt, and uncle-in-law and greeted them respectfully. Qin Sheng called Song Ruyu as he liked, which made the Zhu Family very happy. Zhu Weiguo even patted Qin Sheng's shoulder and said, "Little brat, you should be happy secretly."
Qin Sheng laughed. Of course, he knew what his uncle meant. Even Zhu Changshun said to Qin Sheng, "Little brat, you should treat Ruyu better in the future. Otherwise, we'll punish you."
"Uncle, don't worry. I dare not bully her," Qin Sheng replied obediently.
Wu Yajun and Zhu Qingwen pulled Song Ruyu and said, "She's so beautiful. She's already beautiful. After dressing up, she's even more beautiful. Our Qin Sheng is so lucky."
Song Ruyu lowered her head and smiled shyly. Her shy look was even more charming.
After greeting the elders, Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu greeted their cousins of the same generation. Everyone also congratulated the two newlyweds. Most of them were familiar with Song Ruyu. They had met each other often when they were young. However, they didn't play together as they grew up. They didn't expect that the two families would be even happier in the end.
Zhu Jiayou put his arm around Qin Sheng's shoulder and said, "Cousin, you've made a fortune this time."
"F * ck off." Qin Sheng scolded angrily.
Zhu Jiayou had no choice but to say, "You know I'm short of money. I didn't prepare any gifts for you and my cousin-in-law. I'll owe it to you. I'll pay you back later when I earn money."
Qin Sheng didn't bother to pay attention to this silly guy. He was sure that he had done something bad again. The money he borrowed last time had been stolen by him.
…
The old lady walked a few steps forward and saw Song Ruyu's parents. Song Ruyu's parents hurriedly greeted the old lady and the members of the Zhu family. The two families, which had been very familiar with each other, had become in-laws again. The old lady held Song Ruyu's parents' hands and talked with them for a long time. Most of her words were praising Song Ruyu and the Zhu family for raising such an excellent daughter. Song Ruyu's parents couldn't stop smiling.
After the old lady and the Zhus took a few steps forward, they saw the three members of the Lin family. Before Zhao Anzhi and Qin Ran said anything, Zhu Qingwen took the initiative to introduce them. "Mom, these are Qin Sheng's adoptive parents. Without them, Qin Sheng wouldn't be who he is today."
The old lady had been thinking about this matter. After all, both Zhu Qingwen and Qin Ran had told her many times. If it weren't for the old lady's poor health, she would have met Lin Xi and Wang Li long ago. Today, she finally met them.
After hearing this, Lin Xi and Wang Li took two steps forward to say hello to the old lady. "Old lady, congratulations."
"Same to you. I want to apologize to you. I should have visited you in person, but my health doesn't allow me to. Thank you for taking care of Qin Sheng all these years. On behalf of the Zhus, Qin Sheng's grandfather and mother, I thank you." The old lady was very sincere. Tears were already welling up in her eyes.
Hearing this, Lin Xi was very nervous.
Zhao Anzhi said, "Old lady, this is what we should do. You're too serious."
Zhu Qingwen hurriedly said, "Mom, calm down. Let's go in and talk slowly."
After calming down, the old lady said, "Let's go in and talk. I have a lot to say to you."
Everyone happily helped the old lady into the winery and went directly to the banquet hall. Lin Xi was very polite to Zhu Weiguo and Zhu Changshun. He never thought that he would meet such big shots in his life. Life was really wonderful, too wonderful for words.
After welcoming the members of the Zhu Family, Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu had just rested for a while when the Old Master of the Song Family's motorcade arrived at the gate. Qin Sheng, Song Ruyu, Song Ruyu's parents, and Zhao Anzhi hurried out to welcome them.
When they came out, Old Master Song had already been helped out of the car by the others. Qin Sheng glanced at them subconsciously, but he did not seem to see Song Hesheng. It seemed that Song Hesheng was really unwilling to turn back until he hit the wall. Maybe he thought that if he attended this engagement party today, he would be lowering his head to Qin Sheng. Therefore, it was better for him not to come, in case he fell out with Qin Sheng at that time.
When Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu saw Old Master Song, they shouted happily, "Grandpa!"
Although Old Master Song was staggering, he was dressed in a happy outfit today, which was similar to Old Lady Zhu's outfit. However, he first looked at Song Ruyu and said, "Wow, my Ruyu has finally grown up. I'm really happy to see you like this."
"Grandpa," Song Ruyu said excitedly.
Old Master Song looked at Qin Sheng and said, "Well, not bad. You are even more handsome than your father when he was young. If your grandpa could see you, he would be very satisfied."
Since everyone was so happy today, Qin Sheng did not want to talk about the past. But he often sighed that it would be great if his grandpa and mom could see them. As for his old man, he could not do anything about it.
"Grandpa, let's help you in," Qin Sheng said with a smile. Zhao Anzhi also greeted Old Master Song politely.
At this time, Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu also took the time to greet the other members of the Song Family, including the Song Family's eldest brother and his wife, Song Ruyu's aunt and uncle, and of course, Song Ruyu's cousins. Compared with the Zhu Family, there were fewer people in the Song Family.
Song Ruyu's aunt and uncle seemed to be in a good mood and said a few more words to Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu. However, Song Ruyu's uncle and aunt just nodded, which Qin Sheng could understand.
When Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu walked into the banquet hall with Old Master Song's help, all the members of the Zhu Family saw Old Master Song coming in. They hurriedly helped Old Lady Zhu to stand up and welcome Old Master Song. The two families finally walked together. After the arrival of the two families, the atmosphere of the banquet hall finally became lively.
At this time, Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu also took the time to greet Song Ruyu's uncle and aunt with Song Ruyu's parents. Qin Sheng did not have much contact with Song Ruyu's maternal grandfather's family, nor had he heard about it from others. However, it seemed that it was not a simple family.
When Qin Sheng saw the members of Song Ruyu's maternal grandfather's family, he had no impression of Song Ruyu's aunt and uncle. He just greeted them politely. However, when he saw Song Ruyu's uncle, Qin Sheng found him somewhat familiar. It seemed that he had seen him on the news some time ago. If he remembered correctly, this man had just been transferred to a provincial standing committee in the north. This surprised Qin Sheng a little. Why didn't Song Ruyu mention it?
However, these were all off-topic. After all, compared with the Song Family, Song Ruyu's maternal grandfather's family was far inferior. Otherwise, the Song Family would have directly decided on Song Ruyu's marriage without discussing it with the Song Family, and the Song Family could not say anything about it.
Qin Sheng was not familiar with the Song Family, so he could only greet them politely and respond to their inquiries and blessings. However, it seemed that they were quite satisfied with him.
After greeting the relatives of Song Ruyu's maternal grandfather's family, all the VIPs today had arrived. They all sat in the banquet hall, walking around, greeting and chatting with each other. However, most of the words they said today were congratulations. This was a grand occasion for the four families, and it was rare for them to gather together like this.
Before the engagement banquet began, Gongsun informed Qin Sheng that many families in Sijiu City had sent their congratulatory gifts directly to the banquet hall. This surprised Qin Sheng and the others, including the Xu Family, the Sixth Uncle, and so on. As for the He Family and the Yang Family, they were not surprised.
However, many of them had a good relationship with the Qin Family in the past. However, after the Qin Family's accident, they stopped contacting each other and suddenly sent congratulatory gifts today.
It seemed that this engagement banquet had sent out the most obvious signal to many people …
