Chapter 1303: The Mermaid in the Mansion
Smiling Tiger is the patriarch of the Su family. He is about the same age as Wen Renqing, and his family business is also doing very well, but it has always been suppressed by the Wenren family for many years.
As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain. Although the two companies seem to be familiar with each other, they have been secretly making plans in the business world.
After watching such a big show, the smile on the Su family head's face was more sincere than before. He turned his head and said to Wen Renqing as if jokingly: "Being in your house today really opened my eyes."
"Really? You shouldn't be so surprised by things that are rarely seen, right? It's because your business is small and you haven't seen much of the world." Wen Renqing also laughed and retorted with the same joking remark.
The head of the Su family was much calmer than the mother and daughter of the Dai family. He just shook his head and smiled without saying anything else.
Mr. Dai was pulled over with a confused look on his face. Seeing his wife and daughter in such a mess, his face turned pale and blue, and he strode over.
"You guys go back quickly and don't embarrass yourself here!" He originally wanted to ask a favor from the Wen family and was afraid of offending them. He never expected that the women in the family would cause such a big trouble here.
The parties involved chose to keep things quiet, and the people who came to watch the fun would naturally give face to the host and disperse.
The head of the Su family came over naturally and looked at Shi Li.
His gaze was ordinary, without any sense of peculiarity or malice, but when he appeared, Shi Li instinctively felt repelled.
Before she could speak, the head of the Su family shifted his gaze and said to Wen Renqing unintentionally, "Brother, your birthday is finally complete this year. You have a son and a daughter."
"Children are useless, but we can see them all the time."
Wen Renqing responded calmly, saying that it was impolite not to return the favor. "I heard that Brother Su has a son who is very capable. Why didn't you come over today?"
When talking about his son, the head of the Su family showed a subtle expression and answered modestly: "My son has been traveling abroad for many years and is not here. I will have a chance to see him in the future."
At such a grand birthday banquet, there are only a few people who lack tact.
The female members of the family all saw how aggressive Wang Cuilu was and how she protected Shi Li, and no one dared to make trouble anymore. They even dared not look at her straight in the eye, for fear of displeasing Wang Cuilu.
Shi Li wouldn't feel bored either. Wenren Xinqing finally got the chance to be close to her and she couldn't wait to stick to her.
"Lili, after today, my brother will definitely take you away again. We don't know when we will meet next time." Wenren Xinqing took advantage of the fact that Wenren Ding was not looking, and held Shi Li's hand curiously and acted coquettishly towards her.
"When you have time, come and stay with me for a few more days."
Shi Li said with a smile. Everything about the old house was good, but it was not home after all. She actually secretly hoped to go back with Wenren Ding, but she couldn't say this to Wenren Xinqing.
Wenren Xinqing was still counting on her to persuade Wenren Ding to stay for a few more days, but now she could only sigh, "I estimate that I won't have time in the next one or two months."
News came from the imperial capital that the master in the palace might be dying, and it is unknown when he will die. By then, dynasties will change, the situation will change, and the business world will be greatly affected. She has to keep an eye on the situation.
Doing business also depends on talent. What she had to work so hard to do well, Wen Ren Ding seemed to be able to do it easily.
He also owns a number of shops, but he rarely takes care of them on weekdays and just leaves them to the shopkeepers, who are however running them very well.
It's really annoying to compare people to each other!
After the birthday banquet, Wen Ren Ding walked back to Shi Li without wasting a minute.
Seeing Wenren Xinqing talking and laughing with her, instead of being grateful for the other person's company, she glared at him coldly.
"A dog bites Lu Dongbin." Wenren Xinqing was very angry and spat before leaving.
The guests had all left, and there were no outsiders present. Shi Li was not afraid of embarrassment and raised her hands to him. Wen Rending's expression eased a little, and he reached out and picked her up.
"When are you going home?" Shi Li asked in a low voice, leaning on the strong shoulder.
Wen Rending tilted his head and kissed her hair. "We'll set off tomorrow and arrive home in the evening."
They had all made up their minds, and no matter how reluctant the three people in the old house were, they couldn't stop them.
The next day they could only reluctantly send the person onto the carriage. The three of them stood shoulder to shoulder outside the gate, watching the carriage go farther and farther away without blinking.
They sent the person away, and before they had time to go back, the servant who was outside and was responsible for gathering information came hurriedly over.
"Master, a great man of great status has come to the imperial capital. He stayed at the Su family after entering the city."
Wen Renqing stopped and his face darkened.
At this time, the situation in the imperial capital is the most tense. Who is the big shot who would suddenly visit the Su family?
