Shen Su said, âTsk, Brother, letâs be more discreet. The Mu Familyâs members are all here. How domineering am I to be so brazen?â
Luo Bing ate the snacks handed to him by his sister and did not speak.
Shen Bai smiled and said, âEveryone knows about your domineering reputation anyway. It doesnât matter.â
Xu Yao smiled and said, âIf your sister likes a certain dish, youâll be in charge of poaching the chef. Brother-in-law will reward you! â
Shen Su said in satisfaction, âBrother-in-law is the most sensible!â
The Shen Familyâs quips dispelled the awkward atmosphere that Bei Le and Duan Si had deliberately created just now.
Song Nan seemed to heave a sigh of relief and smiled openly. âWhat does Sister Shen Bai like to eat? Iâll send the chef over later. Donât let Sister Shen Su waste her energy! If it really doesnât work, we can get the chefs of the two families to hold a social gathering and invite Grandpa Mu and the Shen Familyâs grandparents to appraise it together so that the chefs can spar with each other.
How about that?â
Bei Shuo really admired Song Nan.
Shen Bai had a good impression of Song Nan. She smiled and said, âMiss Song, this is a new idea. I think itâs feasible. My grandparents like to be lively now. They like all kinds of fancy things. Only our Shen Su has the most wicked ideas and can make them happy. I think Miss Song can discuss with Shen Su and bring Bei Shuo along. We should really do it once.â
Song Nan smiled gently, feeling grateful to Shen Bai.
Chen Hai hurriedly said, âWhen are you going to do it? Remember to bring me along! If you donât call me when thereâs delicious food, Iâll extort you! â
Then, he looked at Bei Shuo. âBei Shuo, if you hear any accurate news, you must tell me. Youâre not allowed to monopolize it!
Bei Shuo hurriedly nodded with a smile.
Mu Ci was very dissatisfied with Chen Haiâs enthusiasm towards Bei Shuo. âDonât worry, Iâll definitely keep the news from you! â
Chen Hai was dissatisfied. âPetty! Iâve never seen a man as petty as you! Bei Shuo, your taste in men is really bad! Sigh, Luo Bing, this is all your fault. If you had found Bei Shuo earlier, she wouldnât have had to marry such a lousy man like Mu Ci! Donât you think so?â
Luo Bing nodded and ate the steak on the plate elegantly.
The steak was cut into small slices, but he endured it and did not hand it to Bei Shuo, afraid that it would be sent to Song Nan again.
Mu Ci glared at Chen Hai. âCanât you shut up even when you eat?â
Shen Su said happily, âAiya, itâs so satisfying to see you guys quarrel. Sister
Song Nan, we have to find a name to gather again and watch them quarrel.â
Song Nan smiled dotingly. âIâll think of a name. Itâs up to you to gather them all.â
Shen Su patted Bei Shuo. âItâs alright. Theyâll all come if I tie Bei Shuo up!â
Bei Shuo pushed her hand away. âWhy are you using me so blatantly?â
Shen Su did not mind. âGood friends are meant to be used!â
The atmosphere immediately became warm, but Bei Le could not interrupt.
She wanted to form a united front with Song Nan, but Song Nan chose to fight alone and was already on good terms with the Shen Family sisters.
Bei Le felt a little aggrieved and looked up at Mu En from time to time.
Unfortunately, with Shen Su by his side, Mu En did not dare to return any meaningful glances from Bei Le. His gaze was always on Shen Su.
Bei Le could not help but feel sad. She had lost because of her family background.
However, she was indignant!
Recalling what Mu En had said to her just now, she firmly believed that Mu En must have her in his heart!
Hence, she could not give up. She had to endure and persevere. Her nails dug into her flesh. The pain woke Bei Le up and made her even more determined.
After dinner, Song Nan took everyone to the garden for tea and coffee, and to admire the flowers.
Shen Yu accompanied Duan Si and Yu Ling. The young people all joked around with Shen Bai at the center. Song Nan was busy preparing all kinds of snacks.
When she returned to the garden, she saw Luo Bing holding a coffee cup and looking at an orchid in front of him in a daze. She went forward and chuckled. âThis black orchid was accidentally drenched in the rain in spring. I thought that it might not survive. I didnât expect it to bloom on time this fall. Its vitality is really strong.â
Luo Bing turned around and nodded politely. âl donât know that itâs a black orchid. Itâs beautiful.â
Song Nan smiled and brushed the petals with her fingertips. âFlowers have spirituality and know how to fight for their own fate.â
Luo Bing raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl in front of him.
Song Nan smiled. âDirector Luo, you must be very troubled. My auntie has been trying to matchmake us.]â
