After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 581 - 370: _3

"Brother, how can you side with that cheap girl... that woman Tang Xi!" Shu Mengshu felt exceptionally wronged, and couldn’t help but cling to Shu Yiming’s arm and act coquettishly, "Brother, I am your sister."

"Precisely because you are my sister, I don’t wish for you to cause a scene on such an important day as today." Shu Yiming stared at Shu Mengshu, unable to resist speaking in a gentle voice, "Alright, didn’t you say your adoptive parents also came? Let them meet the old master."

"Okay, right away."

Shu Mengshu hurriedly asked Su Kangrong and Xia Minjun to come over. Xia Minjun was like a bumpkin, looking left and right; this banquet hall was truly too magnificent. Last year, at the old man Shu’s birthday banquet, the two were not invited, and Shu Mengshu hadn’t returned to the country (been released), naturally, they also had no right to come.

This year, they finally had the chance to come.

Moreover, the guests invited by the Shu Family were all from distinguished and noble backgrounds, while Su Kangrong and Xia Minjun were just plain nouveau riche.

Not fit to be presented publicly.

The two of them have been uneasy since their arrival at the banquet hall.

But if they could meet with the old master Shu and have a word, affirm their status as Shu Mengshu’s adoptive parents, then today wouldn’t be in vain.

Seeing the way the two shrank back, Shu Mengshu felt a surge of depression in her heart.

"Mom and Dad, can you be a bit more generous, and not so petty!"

How could such people be my parents, it’s so embarrassing to speak out.

My parents should be like the Shu family’s young mistress, distinguished, elegant, and classy.

Not like Xia Minjun, wearing a bright pink dress, with all the best jewelry on, yet like a bumpkin out of her element, exuding a rustic charm of jewels and wealth as she moves.

The two seemed like old women entering the city.

Xia Minjun also clearly felt her daughter’s disdain, but she had no choice; her outfit was custom-made in advance, worth over a hundred thousand.

The two approached Shu Chong’an.

Shu Mengshu said, "Grandfather, I... Mr. Su and Mrs. Su also came, wishing you longevity surpassing the southern mountains."

Shu Mengshu knew that old master Shu did not like her parents and even hoped that Shu Mengshu would have less contact with her former family.

The gift from Su Kangrong and Xia Minjun was prepared according to Shu Mengshu’s request; the old master liked landscape paintings, but they couldn’t afford too expensive a painting, so they compromised and chose a modern one.

The old master glanced at it and nodded.

An assistant on the side carefully put away the painting.

Su Kangrong rubbed his hands together, "Old Master Shu, we’ve always wanted to visit you, but we also know that your time is precious. This time, taking advantage of the birthday banquet, we came to see you."

Shu Chong’an wasn’t unaware of these people’s intentions; they simply wanted to use his influence to foster some relationships and climb up the social ladder.

For the care these two had given Mengshu, Shu Chong’an turned a blind eye.

"Hmm, I usually do not receive guests. If you need anything, speak with Yiming."

"Yes, yes, yes." Su Kangrong nodded again and again, hearing this was already worthwhile for their trip.

Shu Yiming said kindly, "The two of you, grandfather is tired as well. Please, right this way."

Su Kangrong and Xia Minjun glanced at Shu Mengshu before moving aside.

Shu Mengshu stood by the old master’s side, "Grandpa, please don’t take offense, my adoptive parents... oh, I mean Su Xianshen and Mrs. Su, they usually don’t see much of the world. They are too excited to meet you."

Old master Shu looked at his granddaughter. He indulged Shu Mengshu in every way; he always felt that he owed her a lot in the past. Allowing her to grow up in a household of nouveau riche, she hadn’t received the best care. Now that she had returned to the family, he was especially doting on this granddaughter.

Shu Mengshu was secretly helping Menglai Jewelry using the Shu family’s reputation, and he knew about it. freewebnoveℓ.com

He knew that Shu Mengshu was a girl who cherished old affections and understood gratitude, so he didn’t take it to heart.

It was just that her adoptive parents truly didn’t fit into high society.

"Mengshu, you are now the young mistress of the Shu family. You’ve suffered quite a bit over the years. In the future, you’ll help your brother manage the company in Shu Corporation. As for your marriage, I will arrange for Yiming to find someone of a similar age and suitable family background for you. Try to limit your interactions with Menglai Jewelry."

Shu Mengshu thought that Shu Chong’an was blaming her, and quickly said, "Grandpa, I understand, I will definitely do as you ask from now on."

She already regretted bringing Su Kangrong and Xia Minjun to the birthday banquet.
