Chapter 182: 182, A family feast at the Shi Family, II
On the other parts of the couch sat Shi Annuo, Han Qianqian, and several unknown men and women, young and old. Some were also standing around.
Among those standing, she was surprised to spot Shi Mu.
Shi Mu, who seemed equally surprised to see her, then smiled warmly.
Song Qinghuan was somewhat puzzled; although she didn’t know who would be at the family banquet, they certainly had some relation to the Shi Family. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Who was this Shi Mu? Wasn’t it said that he was just a friend of Shi Yuhuan’s? Why was he able to attend the family banquet too?
But for now, it seemed she couldn’t think about this too much.
At this moment, everyone’s gaze was firmly locked on her.
At this moment, she stood there not knowing what to do or where to go.
Should she naturally walk to Shi Yuhuan’s side like Li Qianze did to his brother’s, or should she just randomly choose a seat, or should she continue to quietly stand?
It seemed in this big family only those granted permission by Shi Xiuren could sit. Even when Li Qianze got to his brother, he sat behind Li Chengyun.
Just then, she saw Shi Yuhuan beckoning her over with his hand.
She quickly walked over, and when she took her seat next to Shi Yuhuan, she could feel her legs going soft and subconsciously wrapped her arms around Shi Yuhuan’s arm.
At that moment, a middle-aged man sitting opposite of them laughed and looked at Shi Yuhuan, asking, “Yuhan, is this your new wife?”
Shi Yuhuan looked calmly at him, “Yes, Second Uncle.”
So this was his second uncle, around fifty years old, but looked quite handsome and vigorous with sharp, piercing eyes, similar to Grandfather Shi Xiuren.
Song Qinghuan silently exclaimed in her heart, the Shi Family was indeed good-looking, whether old or young, they were absolutely the leading fellows in their respective age groups, which was certainly related to their genes.
Shi Shouye looked at Shi Xiuren and laughed, “Dad, you’re really fortunate. Yuhuan has found such a beautiful wife for you. I believe it won’t take long before you can hold a great-grandson… In this case…”
As he spoke, he looked at Han Qianqian, “Qianqian, your engagement to our family’s Guozheng should not be delayed anymore!”
Han Qianqian frowned at Shi Shouye, then looked at the man sitting next to Shi Shouye. This man must be the Guozheng in Shi Shouye’s mouth.
With a cold hum, her eyes blazed with anger and she indignantly stared at Shi Xiuren, “Grandfather Shi, I don’t want to marry.”
Before her words could sink in, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became peculiar.
Shi Shouye maintained his earlier smile and lovingly said to Han Qianqian, “Girls grow up, and they have to get married, right? Qianqian, Second Uncle knows that you like Yuhuan, and you and Yuhuan even had an engagement before, but as you can see now, Yuhuan is already married.”
“…,” Han Qianqian was about to say something when Shi Xiuren abruptly cleared his throat, “Enough, today is the family feast, the only one all year, I just want to have a good meal.”
When Grandfather Shi spoke, naturally no one else would speak out anymore. Han Qianqian swallowed the words that were about to leave her mouth.
There seemed to be an undercurrent silently brewing in the air, each person holding onto their own thoughts.
Song Qinghuan turned to glance at Shi Yuhuan, who was next to her. There was a trace of indistinct smile on his lips, but his eyes were cold, sharp, and profound as they stared at Shi Shouye.
Such a gaze, was not at all the way a nephew would stare at his uncle.
