The next day, Shen Qinglan got up early and found that Fu Hengyi had already gotten up. She walked into the kitchen and saw the man cooking.
Looking at the dough in Fu Hengyi’s hand, Shen Qinglan raised her eyebrows slightly, “What are you going to make?” Her nose moved, and the air was filled with the smell of chicken soup. She looked sideways, wondering what Fu Hengyi was talking about.
“I’m making noodles. Go wash up first, and you can eat later.”
Shen Qinglan nodded and turned back to the bedroom. When she finished washing up and changing clothes, Fu Hengyi had just come out of the kitchen with a bowl of steaming noodles in his hand.
“It’s just right to eat while it’s hot.”
Shen Qinglan walked over and sat down, looking at the bowl of noodles on the table. The soup base was chicken soup, with a poached egg and a few green vegetables on top. The color combination was very beautiful and looked very appetizing. Shen Qinglan picked up the chopsticks and realized that this bowl of noodles was actually longevity noodles. After taking a bite, Fu Hengyi smiled at her, “Is it delicious?”
The noodles were very chewy, infused with the freshness of chicken soup. Shen Qinglan nodded, “It’s delicious.”
“If it’s delicious, eat it all, don’t leave any.”
In the hot air, Shen Qinglan looked at Fu Hengyi, her eyes slightly hot, smiled at Fu Hengyi, lowered her head to eat noodles, while Fu Hengyi sat there, just watching her eat quietly.
“Have you eaten?” Seeing Fu Hengyi was looking at her, Shen Qinglan asked.
Fu Hengyi smiled slightly, “I’ll eat later.”
Shen Qinglan glanced at the noodles in the bowl, picked them up and handed them to Fu Hengyi’s mouth, “Let’s eat together.”
“These are longevity noodles, you have to finish it alone.”
Shen Qinglan didn’t move, “Let’s eat together.” Even if they are longevity noodles, we have to eat together, how can I be alone. Fu Hengyi understood her implication, his eyes became more gentle, lowered his head, and took a bite of noodles.
Shen Qinglan’s appetite was not big in the morning, but this time, she finished a whole bowl of noodles.
After eating the noodles, the two of them set off to the Shen family. They were going to have lunch at the Shen family today. Grandpa Fu and Fu Jingting were already there. Aunt Zhao went to the kitchen to help. Chu Yunrong saw Shen Qinglan and immediately stood up and went to the kitchen. After a while, she came out with a bowl in her hand. Shen Qinglan took a look and saw that it was longevity noodles again.
“Qinglan, these are the longevity noodles that mom made for you this morning. Try it.”
Shen Qinglan looked at the big bowl of noodles in front of her with embarrassment. She had just eaten it, and now she really couldn’t eat it. Fu Hengyi took the bowl and said, “Mom, I also made longevity noodles for Qinglan this morning. She just ate it and now she probably can’t eat any more.”
Chu Yunrong didn’t force it when she heard that she had already eaten it. “Then drink some soup to show your appreciation.”
Shen Qinglan picked up the spoon and drank a sip of the soup. “It tastes good. Thank you, mom.”
Chu Yunrong smiled immediately after hearing this.
The banquet was held in the banquet hall of a five-star hotel. Shen Junyu booked today’s venue a month in advance. After lunch, the stylist came to the door. Shen Qinglan looked at the dresses in front of her and was speechless. It was just a birthday party, not a wedding. Was it necessary?
“Qinglan, take a look at which one you like. These are all carefully selected by mom. Aren’t they beautiful?”
“This one.” Shen Qinglan took a look and pointed to a green dress.
Shen Junyu took a look at what she chose, frowned, and took a white dress from the stylist. There were big roses at the hem as embellishment, simple yet elegant.
“Let’s go for this one. What do you think, Hengyi?” Shen Junyu asked Fu Hengyi directly.
Fu Hengyi thought about what he had to do today and nodded, “Junyu’s choice is a good one.”
Shen Qinglan had no opinion on the clothes. She took the clothes from the stylist and went upstairs to change clothes.
One of the stylists and makeup artists quickly followed, while the rest matched clothes for the other people present.
“Are the things ready?” Shen Junyu asked Fu Hengyi.
Fu Hengyi’s eyes were filled with soft light, and he smiled and nodded, “Everything is ready.”
Shen Junyu was very satisfied. The doorbell rang, and Shen Junyu went to open the door, and saw Wen Xiyao.
“Uncle and aunt, grandpa, aunt Fu, grandpa Fu, I am not late, am I?” Wen Xiyao greeted.
“Not late, not late, Xiyao, come and sit down.” Chu Yunrong saw Wen Xiyao and waved, and Wen Xiyao sat down next to Chu Yunrong.
“Xiyao, is the injury on your foot healed?”
“It’s okay, auntie, it had healed a long time ago. By the way, where is Qinglan?”
“She is doing her styling upstairs, and she won’t come down so soon. Have you resolved the matter at your company?”
“It’s resolved.”
During this month, the news of the death of a person at the No. 3 construction site of the boutique project under construction at Xinhe International spread like wildfire. The family members were ready to compromise because of Wen Xiyao’s tough attitude, and Wen Xiyao originally planned to give them a compensation fee. Who knew that just when the matter was about to be resolved, the family members’ attitude suddenly changed and they insisted on a high amount of compensation.
After investigation, Wen Xiyao found out that it was the Lin Group, a competitor of Xinhe International, who was behind the scenes. Although the Lin Group’s main business was the hotel industry, it was also involved in real estate. The Lin Group had failed to bid for the No. 3 site and had always been resentful. Of course, they were unwilling to let go of this opportunity. They fanned the flames behind the scenes and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to step on it, at least to turn the No. 3 site of Xinhe International from a Feng Shui treasure land into a wasteland.
Just when Wen Xiyao was thinking about how to deal with the Lin Group, Shen Junyu put a piece of evidence about Lin Hao, the son of the Lin Group, who had killed someone with a car in front of her. Not only that, Lin Hao’s bad deeds were countless.
After Wen Xiyao got the evidence, she handed it to a reporter. The son of the Lin Group was instantly caught in the scandal and was taken away by the police that day. In order to save his only child, the old man of the Lin family used all kinds of means and ran around everywhere. How could he have the energy to hold back Xinhe International?
Without the Lin Group messing around, it was much easier for Wen Xiyao to solve the matter. And the family had no one to advise them, and their inherent bullying of the weak and fear of the strong reappeared. Once Wen Xiyao’s attitude became tough, they had no tricks.
But afterwards, Wen Xiyao still gave them a considerable compensation. After all, it was a life, and Wen Xiyao couldn’t really be indifferent. In addition, part of the compensation was paid by her personally. The old lady of the family knew about this and went to the company to apologize to Wen Xiyao.
Although the problem of the victim’s family was solved, the impact of this incident was not so easy to eliminate. How to reduce the adverse effects of this incident, Wen Xiyao currently had no solution for this.
Chu Yunrong was relieved to know that the matter was resolved. “Don’t rush into such things as a girl in the future. You were lucky this time. Who knows what will happen if it happens again? In fact, you are very similar to Qinglan in this respect.”
Wen Xiyao smiled and said nothing. She just listened to the elders’ nagging.
Shen Qinglan came out after sorting everything out. The family members were all ready. Looking at Shen Qinglan dressed up, the two old men were satisfied.
Mr. Shen and Mr. Fu took out a red envelope from their pockets at the same time and handed it to Shen Qinglan. “Qinglan, this is for you.”
“Lan Lan, happy birthday.”
Shen Qinglan took the two red envelopes, touched them, and found that they were all filled with cards. She smiled and thanked the two old men, “Thank you, grandpas.” Mr. Fu was really happy, but Mr. Shen felt a little sad when he thought that this was the last birthday Shen Qinglan would spend at home as the daughter of the Shen family.
This was his most beloved granddaughter. After the wedding in September, she would really become the daughter-in-law of the Fu family. Thinking of this, Mr. Shen looked at Mr. Fu with a somewhat unfriendly look. Mr. Fu knew what Mr. Shen was thinking at a glance, and smiled, not to mention how proud he was, “Old man Shen, stop glaring, glaring can’t change the fact that Qinglan is the granddaughter-in-law of the Fu family.”
Mr. Shen snorted coldly. Seeing that the two old men started bickering again, Shen Qinglan smiled slightly and said nothing.
Shen Junyu came over and handed a pair of car keys to Shen Qinglan, “Lan Lan, brother has nothing to give you, just a car.”
Shen Qinglan took the car keys, took a look at it, and raised her eyebrows. This was a limited edition sports car. There were only ten in the world. Shen Junyu actually got one. It could be seen that he spent a lot of effort. “Thank you, brother.”
Shen Junyu wanted to reach out and touch her hair as usual, but looking at her carefully groomed hairstyle today, he silently put his hand down, “Lan Lan, happy birthday.”
Shen Qinglan nodded, and saw Wen Xiyao sitting on the sofa from the corner of her eye, who took a step closer to Shen Junyu, “Sister Xiyao’s birthday is on the 19th of next month, and her favourite place is Bali.”
Shen Junyu already knew Wen Xiyao’s birthday, but this was the first time he got to know the latter point, “I see.”
Wen Xiyao gave Shen Qinglan a diamond necklace with a beautiful shape. Even someone like Shen Qinglan who didn’t care much about jewellery had her eyes light up when she saw it.
“I saw this by accident in a shopping mall when I was on a business trip abroad last time. It’s not designed by a famous designer, but I think you should like it.”
Shen Qinglan really liked it and asked Fu Hengyi to help her change the one around her neck on the spot.
Shen Qian and his wife gave their daughter a house deed.
Fu Jingting also prepared a gift for Shen Qinglan, which was a jade bracelet in a box. “Qinglan, this is a family heirloom of the Fu family. It is specially given to the daughter-in-law of the Fu family. It should have been given to you by Hengyi’s mother, but… so now I’m going to pass it on to you.”
The jade bracelet was emerald green all over, an imperial green with excellent water content. Such a jade bracelet would be worth hundreds of millions on the black market. Shen Qinglan took it in her hand but did not put it on. “Aunt, I will keep it well.” Upon hearing this, Grandpa Fu waved his hand, “Why put it in the box? Wear it if you like it. Jade can only be spiritual when you wear it on your body.”
“I know, Grandpa.”
