Chapter 95 Right here, don't move
The atmosphere in the private room became dull for a while.m. The mobile phone is the most traffic-saving site and has no ads.
When it comes to Chen Qingming's mother, most people actually have no impression. Even Li Wanqing, the oldest present, has only the impression of Chen Yue'e because of a few chance meetings when she was young. She only remembers that she was a gentle and virtuous woman with a smile on her face. No matter what, she could not tell that she was one of the culprits of resolute severance from the family, which caused the Chen and Li family to break up.
Therefore, in his later years, no one could explain clearly what kind of mentality Chen Yue'e had about her family. At this time, when Chen Qingming said it, he couldn't help but feel the regret of the woman who was desperate for love and her death.
Love and family are treasures worth cherishing, but Chen Yue'e must give up one of them... Chen Yue'e died at a young age and did not have anything to do with this matter. Otherwise, no matter how much she consumed her mind, she would not have passed away in despair at the peak of her life.
Chen Qingming's persistence at this time is easier to understand. Everyone in the Li family courtyard knows the environment she grew up since childhood. With such a father who is proficient in human feelings and a frank and kind stepmother, it can be said that his mother Chen Yue'e is the only comfort for the girl. Therefore, Chen Qingming has the motivation to complete Chen Yue'e's last wish at all costs. "Don't worry, it will definitely go smoothly... Even if there is any accident, we still have the invincible sword of the world." Li Wanqing comforted her gently.
Chen Qingming couldn't help laughing: "It's just that I'm worried that something will happen if I have him. Who knows if he will talk or do things randomly then?"
It is objectively ridiculous that a foolish human with an intelligence index of only 3.3 will question such a question about the Tianwai Sword Spirit with an intelligence index of up to 9 points. However, neither Li Wanqing nor Li Chaolu expressed opposition.
With Wang Jiu's "humanity and understanding", it is indeed not surprising that he says and does what he does on such occasions...
Thinking of this, even Chen Qingming himself became a little worried. With the usual style of Wang Jiu, he ran to Chen Ruoshi after the birthday party and said: Little devil, I rode your ancestors back then, this is your New Year's money... This kind of thing is not impossible!
"Ajiu, the banquet will begin later. I will go to the inner hall on the first floor to attend the banquet. You will be here, don't walk around."
After receiving the promise that Wang Jiujue would not speak indiscriminately, Chen Qingming could finally breathe a sigh of relief and go to the banquet with peace of mind.
Although the feeling of uneasiness in his heart was still strong, Chen Qingming decided that even if he was in a dragon's and tiger's den, he would have to make a breakthrough today. His biggest dream before his mother passed away was to reconcile with the family. As a daughter, Chen Qingming would fulfill his last wish for his mother no matter what, even if there was only a trivial glimmer of hope, he would do his best to fight for it.
About half an hour later, a knock on the door came from outside the private room door. Chen Qingming was thrilled all over, his heart accelerated and thumped. Then he quickly stood up and walked to the door, opened the door and asked, "Is the birthday party started?"
The waiter looked embarrassed and shook his head first: "There is about half an hour left, mainly... Mr. Xinyu just held the incense burner and was in the bathroom..."
"Oh, you can handle that fat man casually. Call me again after the banquet begins." Chen Qingming felt as if he had been deceived. He breathed a sigh of relief tiredly, waved his hand, and let Li Xinyu die.
After about half an hour, a waiter came to lead the three women to the inner hall on the first floor for the banquet. Wang Jiu followed Chen Qingming's advice and stayed in the private room. After the three girls left, he soon saw a water screen projection on the cabinet not far from the dining table and began to play the promotional video.
"Hey, the Battle Elephant Promotional Video?" Wang Jiu took a look and felt that the content was wonderful. The promotional video in just a few minutes was extremely exciting, obviously it was written by a professional.
In the past, in the Jiuzhou era, Qingzhou, which was a pioneer in fashion, had technical means and professional techniques that were more sophisticated than this projection promotional film, but from the passion contained in the film, it was far inferior.
So, just as Wang Jiu was carefully inspecting the war elephant complex of the people in Shencheng in the private room alone, the birthday banquet officially began on the first floor inner hall.
The birthday party of the Lord of Shencheng City did not arrange any details or lengthy leaders' speeches. When all the guests entered the venue under the guidance of the waiter, more than a dozen round tables were automatically presented with sumptuous dishes.
Then, Chen Ruoshi walked to the center of the inner hall under the attention of everyone, raised a wine glass, and said with a sigh: "Thank you for your appreciation today to attend the banquet. I won't say any extra polite words. I believe you are not interested in listening to an old man's nonsense, so I'll give you twice the price here. Next, I'll ask you all to enjoy the delicious wine and food!"
As Chen Ruoshi drank the whole glass of strong wine and put down the empty glass, the atmosphere in the inner hall suddenly became lively. The guests also picked up the glasses and drank the wine generously. Then the loud noises spread everywhere, and the cups and plates collided continuously. The entire inner hall was like a huge wok, constantly bursting with amazing heat.
The city lord Chen Ruoshi was not as mysterious as a dragon that usually had no head to see his head but not to see his tail. He held a silver cup symbolizing the supreme status of the city lord in his left hand, and a huge wine jar in his right hand, constantly wandering around the venue, drinking and talking to the familiar guests.
In the eyes of outsiders, this high-ranking and earth-shaking city lord really has no airs at the banquet. As long as he is a familiar person, regardless of the other party's status, strength or strength, Chen Ruoshi will be treated equally and kindly.
"Old man Xiang, it's been a long time since we met. The last time we met was 20 years ago. How is your boy like?"
"Oh don't mention it, but it's not as strong as your sons. They are all in their 40s and are still idle all day long. They practice for three days and fishing for two days. They don't forget to reach out to care about my money every day! Sometimes I really want to break his leg!"
"Old Xiang, you have a child in your old age, and your love for a child is understandable, but a good child is spoiled by you and will be counterproductive."
"Yes, I'm here on this trip, and I want to ask you what to do with this unfilial son..."
Chen Ruoshi took a sip of wine and said, "Your son is in his 40s. His mind and character have been formed, and it is difficult to change it again. But you are only 117 years old this year, and it is still time to have a few more children to re-train."
"It makes sense. My original wife is old and unable to have children. It is also a good thing for me to take a beautiful concubine for this reason."
"etc……"
"Brother Shen, you are still smart. Thanks to you who came up with this idea, otherwise this unfilial son would really torture me to death. I will always be grateful. Come and toast you with this glass of wine!"
"……Dry!"
When Shen Ruoshi was busy with social engagements, Chen Qingming, who should have become one of the focus of the audience, was at a loss.
Because she really became the focus of the audience.
When the waiter led her into the inner hall, he actually took her directly to the main table!
What is the concept of the main table? There are only 10 seats in this table, and there are more than 20 people at the top level of the top sect who are present! And the biological sons of Chen Ruoshi who usually call for wind and rain in Shencheng are also sitting obediently at the next table, and even Chen Feihong, the heir appointed by Chen Ruoshi, sat far away.
Those who can be served must be the limited number of people who have the highest status and are worthy of attention in the eyes of the Shen family.
Chen Ruoshi's seat is in the middle, and the left hand is the envoy of the Holy Sect. This is the respect for the Holy Sect that every sect will have. However, the envoy of the Holy Sect knows his duty very well. He sits in the seat without saying anything, and will never steal anyone's limelight. The right hand is Chen Jinghai, and he is also the first deputy city lord of Shencheng.
On the left hand of the envoy of the Holy Sect is Chen Yueying, and on the left is Chen Qingming! The order is still above the heads of a large sect who have had a friendship with the Shen family for nearly a thousand years!
The main table in the inner hall is almost targeted by the public. Chen Qingming's identity is particularly sensitive. Arranged her in the main table near Chen Yueying, and it is no longer a place to put people on the fire, but to hold the brazier on the head!
Such a grand scene was really beyond Chen Qingming's expectations. The girl sat on the main table, and her uneasiness almost burst into an explosion.
If something is abnormal, it is a monster. Such an abnormal seating arrangement must mean something big will happen.
Just as Shen Qingming became more and more uneasy, he suddenly heard the secret words from Li Wanqing not far away.
"Qingming, things are indeed a bit strange. I can't contact Shen Ying."
"Shen Ying?" It took Chen Qingming a lot of time to find the Bagua King who had a very weak presence from his memories.
"What's wrong with her?"
"I originally agreed to meet and exchange information before the birthday party... but she hasn't contacted her for several days."
"What happened?"
"She is a member of the Shen family. What do you think can happen in Shencheng? Her cultivation is not bad, and she has an empty and bright body. Most people can't find her. She is more alert, so why would something happen?"
Hearing this, Chen Qingming couldn't help but be shocked: "Then do you think..."
However, before she could continue talking to Li Wanqing, someone suddenly handed her a glass of wine around her.
"Qingming, come and give you a cup."
