Shen Weiran sat in the back seat of the Bentley, and next to him was Xiao Jinyan. When she was applying makeup upstairs just now, she had already roughly understood the general situation of this banquet from Xiao Hanyue's mouth.

This is a family banquet held regularly by the Xiao family every year, the original intention of this family banquet was originally to join forces within the family, if the family has needs, you can put forward in this family banquet, and the family will join hands to give you appropriate help and help you tide over the difficulties.

But as it has been passed down from generation to generation, the excitement of this family feast has long since deteriorated. It has almost become an ordinary business banquet for families to compare with each other or gang up.

As the car drove deeper into the suburbs, the night grew thicker. The Shen family is not a big family like the Xiao family, and this kind of banquet has never been held in the clan.

In addition to the New Year, several families who are close to each other will have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, many cousins have not seen each other for many years. Especially when she disgraced the Shen family, she was pregnant before marriage, and because of her relationship with Tiantian, her family and most of her family members had fallen out.

This has always been a piece of Shen Wei's heart, and it has not been able to get rid of it for so many years.

Xiao Jinyan turned his head to look at Shen Weiran many times, and saw that she was always looking out the window. From his point of view, he could only see Shen Weiran's side face, and he felt that she was not happy tonight, but he couldn't find a reason.

His eyes subconsciously fell on her hand, and even though it was blocked by clothes, he could still see that she had a quaint ring on her ring finger. He also had a ring on his hand.

This is the old man's most direct affirmation of the two of them becoming husband and wife.

After a delay of about half an hour on the road, the driver finally drove the vehicle to the Xiao family's old house. At this time, the night is dark, but the villa is brightly lit, and the beautiful stones are inlaid on the walls, giving a beautiful light in the night.

Around the location of the fountain in the courtyard, there are many tables and chairs, and a beautiful lamp stand is placed a few meters apart in the courtyard, and many people in the courtyard are talking carefully with red wine glasses.

The villa is still the same as last time, but it looks very lively inside at this time. Holding Xiao Jinyan's hand and getting out of the car, Xiao Jinyan gentlemanly arranged her skirt.

Under the gaze of everyone, the two walked into the courtyard side by side. This is the first time Shen Weiran has participated in the Xiao family's family banquet, and her eyes are curious to look at the surrounding pedestrians, although they are all side branches of the Xiao family, but Shen Weiran found that these people do not look alike.

are all surnamed Xiao, but the best-looking ones are Xiao Jin Yan and Xiao Hanyue. Xiao Jin Yan looked around the courtyard, and didn't seem to see the person he wanted to see, so he took Shen Weiran directly into the villa.

Compared to the outside, the interior looks more luxurious and magnificent. As soon as she entered the door, Shen Weiran saw that the huge villa living room was already covered with a crimson carpet.

Even if you are wearing high heels, you don't get tired of stepping on them. Holding Xiao Jinyan's arm, he stood in the center of the living room. The attendant with the tray passed by, and Xiao Jin Yan took two glasses of red wine from it. Handing one of the glasses to Shen Weiran, Xiao Jin Yan said with a smile, "This red wine was airlifted from the French manor, and today is a family banquet, so the old man took it out so happily, and he usually can't drink it." ”

Hearing Xiao Jin Yan talk about it so preciously, Shen Weiran also became curious, took a sip of the red wine glass, and sure enough, he felt that the taste was mellow, and it was a wine that could not be drunk even in a high-end banquet.

Xiao Jin Yan saw her take one sip after another, but he couldn't help but tilt his head sideways and remind her carefully, "You haven't eaten at night, your stomach is empty, be careful of getting drunk." ”

This is the Xiao family's family banquet, Shen Weiran naturally didn't dare to get drunk, in case she showed any ugliness, it would really add to her troubles. So she had to hold the wine glass in her hand, and Shen Weiran couldn't help but want to take another sip.

The two of them whispered in the villa as if no one was around, and there were people around who had been watching here for a long time, and after hesitating for a while, someone boldly walked over with a wine glass.

Seeing someone coming, Shen Weiran stood up straight and tried her best to look at the person as Mrs. Xiao Jin Yan. This is a very well-dressed couple, the man is short and fat, middle-aged, and the woman looks in her early thirties, very well-maintained, but her temperament is outstanding.

"Jin Yan, this is ......"

The man looked at Shen Weiran, Shen Weiran nodded lightly to him and said hello, because he didn't know what the relationship between him and Xiao Jinyan was, so he didn't speak.

"This is my wife, Shen Weiran."

After Xiao Jinyan finished speaking, he introduced Shen Weiran, "This is my cousin, and this is my cousin." ”

Shen Weiran smiled and nodded, "Cousin, cousin." ”

"I look good at some snacks over there, I remember you little girls like desserts, let's go try them?"

Shen Weiran heard that her cousin's words were deliberately taken away, and glanced at Xiao Jin Yan and her cousin, guessing that the two of them should have something to discuss, so she nodded slightly, and Shen Weiran followed her cousin to the row of gorgeous long tables at the edge of the villa's living room.

My cousin is right, these desserts are indeed very tempting to look at. Because someone was there, Shen Weiran didn't dare to eat too much, so she only took a piece of pink cake close to her and ate it in small bites.

"I just heard Jin Yan introduce you, are you his wife?"

The cousin looked at Shen Weiran from the side, Shen Weiran took a small bite and chewed in her mouth, and when she heard her question, even if she didn't want to, she had to deal with the answer.

"Because Jin Yan's company is busy, we didn't hold a wedding."

My cousin listened to Shen Weiran's words and nodded thoughtfully. Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Wei finished eating the cake in her hand in a small bite, I don't know which chef this thing came from, it was surprisingly delicious.

Couldn't help but take another sip of the wine in her hand, Shen Weiran looked up at the gorgeously dressed men and women in the room. found that some of the people in this room were a little similar to Xiao Jin Yan, and they were probably his close relatives.

just looked around, but she didn't see the old man and Xiao Jinyan's parents, and she estimated that the real family banquet had not yet started. Seeing that everyone was busy and didn't have time to notice this, Xiao Jinyan and his cousin were also talking in a low voice, and Shen Weiran simply picked up a small piece of pastry.

Before the show began, she had to fill her stomach first. The cousin here estimated that she was eating happily, and it was not good to interject and ask again, so the two were silent here.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door, Shen Weiran looked over while eating pastries, and found that the door of the villa was opened, and Xiao Hanyue walked in with Zhang Jun's hand.

The two are handsome men and beautiful women, a talented and beautiful couple, and everyone looked at them for a while. And Xiao Hanyue was wearing a white evening dress, full of aura, and she was completely different from her private appearance.

Shen Weiran looked over there and forgot to move for a while. I don't know how in my mind, I remembered what Xiao Jinyan once said to her, the children of the Xiao family can't show their heads and can't be their true selves.

Thinking of this, and then looking at Xiao Hanyue communicating with various celebrities in a kind way, I don't know why, I felt a sour feeling inexplicably.

"I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you yet." My cousin didn't know who she saw over there, and after saying hello to Shen Weiran, she turned her head and walked away.
