Chapter 51
"Ah, how are the preparations for the banquet going?"

The teacher opened the door and walked in. Shi Ran asked while drinking a drink.

I don’t know why, but grandpa started holding banquets again, and most of the people who cooperated were invited.

"It's going on smoothly..."

"Are there any invitations? I have someone I want to invite."

"If it's the second young master of the Song family, you don't need to invite me. The master has already sent the invitation."

"It's not Song Sichen."

"Ah!" The teacher's usually calm face showed an expression of surprise, "Then...who is it?"

"Please invite a woman named Fang Lili. If I guess correctly, she should be in my uncle's family."

Fang Lili.

She is her uncle's remarriage partner.

So, this time, let’s test it out.

"Okay, I'll do it right now."

The teacher didn't ask any more questions.

The banquet was held grandly.
You must bring an invitation letter to enter the banquet hall. There will also be subtle relationships between people who successfully enter the banquet hall, and the banquet atmosphere will be particularly harmonious.

Everyone comes together.

Shi Ran asked the teacher to prepare diamonds as gifts, especially a large one made into a ring and given to Mrs. Fu, as an apology for hiding the truth from Mrs. Fu when his father was sick.

No one knew that the person behind the teacher was Shi Ran.

She came to Mrs. Fu with the diamond.

"Auntie, this is a gift from my father as an apology for concealing his illness last time. Auntie must keep it, otherwise dad's mission will not be completed and no explanation will be given!"

Mrs. Fu had a serious expression on her face, looking like an old lady who was difficult to talk to.She took the box from Shi Dian's hand and opened it. When she saw the ring inside, her eyes narrowed, but she didn't seem happy.

"You want me to forget what happened before with this small favor? The most important thing in cooperation is trust. If you do this again next time, I will be permanently blacklisted."

"Thank you!"

Shiran breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Mrs. Fu was also a principled person.Otherwise, all these years would have been in vain.

When he turned around, he saw grandpa coming to the teacher's side.

"I've been around for so long, but I didn't expect to be so powerful. I heard that the mine is in your hands, and you have mined a lot of diamonds and made a lot of money."

"Master, I have grown up under your favor since I was a child. This is just a coincidence. If you need anything, you must tell me."

The teacher said in a polite tone.

Hearing this, Grandpa smiled with satisfaction and patted the teacher on the shoulder and said, "Fortunately you won the mine."

“I was lucky enough to win the bid by a narrow margin.”

With an advantage of [-], the teacher still felt relieved when he thought of the twisted faces of the Song family.

"Yes, it's just luck."

Grandpa cast his disapproving gaze on his uncle.

Grandpa was not with Shi Ran's family. Instead, he greeted everyone cordially from a distance and clicked his tongue when he saw their noisy appearance.

"father!"

After my aunt scolded in a low voice, although she attracted attention, there was still a bitter look on her face.

Although my uncle apologized and said that it was a mistake not to win the bid for the mine, my grandfather could not eliminate the reluctance in his heart.

"I can't handle even the smallest things. When we got married, I didn't agree. If he hadn't agreed to marry me, I wouldn't have let him step into the family."

"Dad, we're already married, don't talk about this anymore."

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

My uncle was suddenly surrounded by people and spoke loudly. At some point, he walked out of the group with a glass of wine in one hand.

"I heard there is a place over there where you can sit and drink. Let's go together, Dad."

Grandpa was unhappy with his still shameless appearance.

In any case, grandpa seems to love his daughter very much, so he always turns a blind eye to her uncle.

"Sit on your seat and I'll bring you a glass of red wine right away." When he moved his seat, his uncle was still making a lot of noise.

When he walked over with a glass of red wine, he suddenly stopped and became quiet for an instant.

Since Shiran arrived at the banquet, Shiran deliberately said nothing. He just stayed quietly in the corner and observed every move of his uncle, especially his sudden change just now. Shiran saw it in his eyes.

Seeing that my uncle's eyes seemed to be attracted to Fang Lili in the distance, there was a trace of panic on his face.

It seemed that when he saw her, his footsteps stopped in fear.

"Ok?"

When my aunt saw her uncle who had stopped, she came to his side and touched his arm.

His uncle's face was slightly pale, which made Shiran frown and look at him unblinkingly.

"What's the matter? Are you uncomfortable?"

Auntie asked worriedly.
"No... I think I saw someone I knew."

As soon as my uncle spoke, my aunt smiled.

"There's someone you don't know here. That should be even weirder. Who is it?"

"No... maybe I saw it wrong."

The uncle wanted to return to his seat as soon as possible, but the aunt was already looking around, then pointed at Fang Lili accurately and said.

"Is it that woman?"

Because in the entire banquet, this was the only woman that my aunt didn't recognize.

"Ah, that..."

Her uncle seemed to be still thinking about how to explain. After Fang Lili discovered her aunt and uncle, she started walking towards them with a smile.

She was an ordinary-looking woman who didn't seem to receive any special attention, but Tokiran didn't let down her guard.

She greeted her aunt calmly.

"Do you know?"

my aunt asked warily.

"We know each other. We grew up together, but we were abroad for a few years and we couldn't attend your wedding."

"Yes, long time no see."

My uncle echoed.

The way they greet each other is natural and polite.

"Sure enough, she is just as charming as the rumors say. No wonder he likes you so much. I am a man, so I will like you too."

After hearing this, my aunt seemed a little uncomfortable, but she still smiled politely.
"up to you."

The aunt smiled and pulled her uncle back to her position.

Shiran held his chin up and took in everything just now.

"What is this?" Shi Ran whispered alone, "I don't seem to see anything! It seems that I have to spend time to inquire again."

"Shi Ran, what are you talking about?"

Dad suddenly appeared next to Shiran. He came a little late because he had work. When he saw Shiran, he immediately came to her side and heard her mumbling something, but he didn't hear it clearly.

"Nothing, I just wanted to go to the bathroom."

Shiran's father gently stroked Shiran's hair and said, "Okay, go ahead."

Shi Ran nodded and went upstairs. The problem was that this was her first time at this banquet and she was not familiar with it. She had not yet found where the toilet was.

When she saw the sign for the restroom, she was about to walk over when a voice suddenly came from around the corner.

"what!"

A woman receives a startled sound.

"Hush! It's me!"

Is this... my uncle's voice?
