The man and woman who walked in had a strong aura. This aura was not deliberately disguised, but was natural and revealed unconsciously.
Everyone's eyes were focused, but it did not affect the two of them at all. Their shoulders were very close and their heads were slightly lowered. The man seemed to be talking about something, while the woman looked like she was listening attentively.
The man looked to be in his mid-thirties, and the woman looked to be in her early thirties. It wasn't until they reached the center of the hall that they realized there were many people around them, and most of them were looking at them.
There was a flash of doubt in the eyes of the two of them. Wasn't it the family dinner that grandpa announced? Why were so many people here?
The man and woman were none other than Shen Congwen's only son, Shen Jiabin, and Shen Congjun's eldest daughter, Shen Shengnan.
Both of them are now working for the family business, and they are two of the most outstanding members of the Shen family. Today, grandpa announced that they would come to attend the family dinner, and both of them happened to have work that they couldn't put off, so they discussed, Handle the work on hand first, and then meet downstairs at Jiang Nanchun Hotel as soon as possible.
Based on their understanding of grandpa, if they didn't come in together, grandpa would definitely grab one of them and criticize him. Now that the two of them came in together, grandpa could only say a few words casually, but he couldn't do it in front of so many people. face and criticize them together.
The two of them looked towards the main table at the front of the hall. At this time, the whole family was sitting there. The two walked quickly and came to Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen. Shen Jiabin smiled and said: "Grandpa, grandma." , something happened in the company, I came late."
Shen Shengnan also said: "Grandpa, grandma, I'm sorry."
Mr. Shen was in a good mood and just said symbolically, "Okay, I know you are busy, so you should pay more attention next time. Let's get to know Lin Kun quickly. It will be the first time for you to meet each other."
Shen Jiabin turned his head and looked at Lin Kun. Lin Kun had already stood up. The smile on Shen Jiabin's face froze for a moment and he looked at his cousin who was particularly favored by his grandfather. He had never met Lin Kun, but about He had heard some stories about Lin Kun, and looking at the people in the hall, he immediately guessed that these people must be related to his cousin.
"Shen Jiabin, hello!" Shen Jiabin smiled and stretched out his hand to Lin Kun.
"Lin Kun, hello, cousin!" Lin Hao also smiled and extended his hand.
Shen Shengnan frowned and looked at Lin Kun with a hint of evil in her eyes. When Lin Kun and Shen Jiabin let go of their hands, she said reluctantly: "Shen Shengnan."
Shen Shengnan's attitude was the only one among the younger members of the Shen family who was not kind. Lin Kun smiled, didn't care, and said with a smile: "Hello, cousin!"
Shen Shengnan just nodded symbolically, then sat on the seat reserved for her by her parents, and started chatting with Shen Junru next to her.
Shen Shengnan's attitude made Shen Congjun's parents feel embarrassed. Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen didn't look very good either. However, they looked at Lin Kun and saw that he didn't care, so they didn't say anything.
The banquet had already begun, and everyone sat around to eat. Lin Kun and Mr. Shen were next to each other, and Chu Jingyao, Gu Wei, and Mrs. Shen were next to each other.
During the meal, Mr. Shen frequently served Lin Kun with dishes and introduced the famous Jiangnan dishes on the table. Mrs. Shen was busy serving dishes to his two grandsons and daughters-in-law, as well as Chengcheng and Xiao Caihong in their arms.
The food was delicious, and I was very happy to eat this meal. Shen Shengnan's attitude towards Lin Kun just now was just a small episode, and it was quickly forgotten by everyone.
In a big family, family harmony has always been difficult. Where there are disputes over interests, there will be fights. Fights within a big family often come from the competition for family resources. The greater the interests involved, the more serious the fight. It was intense, but this did not happen in the Shen family. All this was related to Mr. Shen's strict tutoring.
Whether we sit together to eat together or socialize privately in the future, the Shen family has always been very harmonious.
During the dinner, Lin Kun got up and toasted to several elders and several cousins. After the round, everyone was enjoying themselves except Shen Shengnan.
I don’t know why, but Shen Shengnan, who has a cold temperament, always seems to have a problem with Lin Kun and doesn’t want to see him.
Gu Wei looked a little angry and wanted to find fault with Shen Shengnan. She had always been a straight character, but Chu Jingyao held her hand and calmed her down.
Gu Wei looked reluctant and asked Chu Jingyao in a low voice, "Jingyao, why are you stopping me?"
Chu Jingyao smiled softly and said: "Let's not get involved in the matter between their siblings."
Gu Wei bit her lip and lowered her voice and said, "I just can't stand that woman looking down on Lin Kun."
Chu Jingyao smiled and said: "This is just the first impression. It won't change as we get along with each other for a long time."
On the other side of the table, Shen Junru leaned into Shen Shengnan's ear and whispered: "Sister, you seem to have a strong opinion of your second brother. Has she ever offended you?"
Shen Shengnan smiled and shook his head and said: "He has not offended me. I just feel unworthy for grandpa. A grandson who lives in the world is not worthy of grandpa's attention. Look at the group of people he brought with him." Man, I'm afraid that if he stays in Jiangnan, it will have a bad impact on our Shen family in the future."
After hearing what Shen Shengnan said, Shen Junru was silent for a while. Shen Shengnan then said again: "Junru, you and Jiaying should remember not to get too close to this second brother, lest you get into trouble later. Trouble, the world in Jiangnan has not been very peaceful recently."
Shen Junru's curiosity was immediately aroused and she said: "Sister, what big thing happened in Jiangnan's Jianghu?"
Shen Shengnan said: "Don't ask for details, just remember my words. Everyone in the world is not simple. Even our Shen family cannot easily provoke them."
Shen Junru said oh, and then Shen Jiaying came over and whispered: "Sister, I don't think you should be prejudiced against the second brother. I think the second brother is quite good. Although he is a gangster, look at how approachable he is. Although the people he brought had a bit of a charlatan attitude, they all followed the rules, and no one smoked in the entire hall."
After Shen Jiaying's reminder, Shen Shengnan noticed this detail. Indeed, the hall was full of people, and although their words were rough and had a strong northeastern flavor, no one was smoking in the hall.
There are a few non-smokers on the Jianghu Road, especially in the Northeast, where the folk customs are fierce, but these people just can't stand it.
Shen Shengnan raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but raise his head and glance at Lin Kun. Lin Kun was clinking glasses with Shen Congwu at this time. Shen Congwu drank a little too much, and with the help of alcohol, he carelessly asked Lin Kun invited: "Grand nephew, Third Uncle knows that you are also a martial arts practitioner. Third Uncle has a martial arts gym nearby. After dinner later, are you interested in visiting with Third Uncle? Let's compare notes!"
Upon hearing Shen Congwu's words, the people at the table immediately became quiet, and even the people at the tables next to them became quiet and looked over with curious eyes... (To be continued)
