Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Qingwu Is the True Eldest Daughter of the Shen Family! Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Qingwu Is the True Eldest Daughter of the Shen Family! Annie eagerly said, “Today, the setting at the Shen Mansion is really quite grand.”
As the senior assistant to the president of Pei Group, Annie had quite a few distinguished ladies in her social circle.
“I saw many ladies posting photos with Ms. Shen, but it’s clearly a birthday banquet, and Ms. Shen is dressed so plainly… I don’t understand how she passed the noble etiquette class…”
A wealthy family’s birthday banquet required rather intricate etiquette and rules!
Shen Yurou was still wearing a lace-trimmed dress with at least ten layers, with an exaggerated hat, completely not up to the standard for attending a birthday banquet…
“How her etiquette class passed is none of my business, but I will be there when the birthday banquet begins in the evening.”
Pei Jue’s tone revealed undisguised disgust for Shen Yurou!
“Yes, I will go prepare now.”
Annie bowed and left Pei Jue’s study.
Standing in front of the massive floor-to-ceiling windows, the man’s tall figure and handsome face were as perfect as ice-sculpted, exuding incredible dominance!
He looked at his phone, frowning slightly.
“Is she very busy today, or is there a task from the High Tower?”
Qingwu had not replied to his message all day!
The message screen was still paused on the previous day, where Qingwu had transferred a million to him, noted as taxi fare!
It could be said this was the first time in Pei Jue’s life he received such a small amount of money!
Yet it made him more excited than when he achieved his first small goal at fifteen. His business empire was completely under his control, but for Qingwu… he admitted he lost control!
A wild joy seized him, and he could hardly wait to see her!
Pei Jue put away his phone, looking out at the splendidly beautiful Shen Family.
No rush!
Once he successfully annulled his engagement today, he could pursue her!
On the other side.
The entire Shen Family, even the pets, wore bow ties worth one hundred thousand for the occasion, while every servant had bathed three times and put on new clothes for the birthday banquet!
Besides being an emperor in the entertainment circle, a super idol, Shen Shushan also held control over the world’s largest entertainment company!
“Over here, get the live camera in position, ensuring my sister’s beauty is showcased without any blind spots! You mentioned using filters? You’re insulting my sister’s peerless beauty! Look at me, does my sister need filters?”
Shen Shushan’s face was hailed as a divine visage of the universe, reigning on the global most handsome list for five consecutive years.
The assistant thought, President Shen might not need them, but that Ms. Shen Yurou certainly seemed in great need!
“Yes, yes, we’ll adjust the equipment right away! Guarantee the eldest miss’s face will be fully displayed soon!”
Shen Jishi accompanied Shen Boyi in welcoming guests.
Guests coming and going all ranked within the top hundred on the annual billionaire list, and anyone beyond the top hundred was not qualified to receive an invitation from the Shen Family!
Even for the Shen Family’s eldest miss’s birthday, not everyone was privileged to set foot in the Shen Family.
Shen Yurou looked at this grand spectacle, feeling both sour and aggrieved…
Just wait!
Soon you all will know, in a wealthy family like the Shen’s, even if there’s a blood relation, a tainted daughter wouldn’t be acknowledged!
…
As night fell, the birthday banquet commenced!
Outside the Phoenix Building, eighty-eight salutes rang out in unison, and the venue was filled with freshly flown-in flowers, with ribbons dancing in the air!
Several ladies on good terms with Shen Yurou were dying of envy!
“How lucky Yurou is, it’s just a birthday banquet…”
“Oh, is that President Pei over there! President Pei must have come specifically to attend Yurou’s birthday banquet!”
In the evening, a vast number of people followed behind Pei Jue, with Annie in a business suit holding several gift boxes in her hands.
Pei Jue, solitary as the moon, was detached and distant, the moonlight falling on his supermodel-like physique and face, exuding a murderous aura!
Seeing Pei Jue, Shen Dongli hurried over.
“Well, President Pei, long time no see, I thought after sending you the invitation, you wouldn’t have the time to come!”
Pei Jue smiled lightly, “Uncle, just call me Pei Jue. Since today is the eldest miss’s birthday banquet, I certainly should attend, I also have very important things to discuss with Uncle.”
Shen Dongli exchanged a glance with Zuo Wanjun beside him.
Apparently, they had both forgotten about Pei Jue!
Even if they hadn’t forgotten, who would have thought he’d really make time to attend!
Pei Jue had been at the top of the global richest person list for several years, with numerous businesses in hand, too busy to even touch the ground with his feet, not even Elder Pei could see him anytime…
The invitation was sent, but the Shen Family had forgotten that Pei Jue had never even met Qingwu before this!
Meeting his fiancée for the first time at the birthday banquet was something even the Shen Family thought was sudden…
Pei Jue was surely here to talk about the marriage!
Shen Dongli patted Pei Jue’s shoulder, speaking reservedly, “Dear nephew, how about waiting a moment till our little Wu comes out, and we all sit down and talk together, huh?”
Little Wu?
It should be Little Five, the eldest miss of the Shen Family was just the fifth in the family.
Pei Jue looked around and indeed did not find any trace of Shen Yurou.
“Very well, I’ll listen to Uncle. Here’s a gift I prepared, one for you and Aunt, and another for Ms. Shen.”
“You, kid, always courteous! Rest assured, Little Wu will definitely know the gift is from you! Haha…”
Look at this kid, running businesses so large yet without any airs, how thorough with proper manners!
Shen Dongli was increasingly fond of Pei Jue with every glance!
Outside the window, fireworks bloomed!
The entire sky was covered with brilliant fireworks, splendid sparks forming patterns in the sky, descending in the form of bouquets!
Everyone was stunned!
No wonder it was the Shen Family; look at how grand it is!
Flowers descended from above, forming a colossal swing, suddenly appearing from the most resplendent spot of the fireworks, and on the swing sat a fairy-like girl in a gown!
At the end of the fireworks, a large script appeared in the night—
“Happy Birthday to Little Princess Shen Qingwu!”
The four sons of the Shen Family lined up, kneeling on one knee to extend their hands toward the fairy on the swing.
Qingwu placed her hand in Shen Boyi’s, stepping down from the swing.
Shen Dongli and Zuo Wanjun looked at their son and daughter approaching, nearly moved to tears!
Qingwu wore a dress designed by Master Ye Yi, its hem inlaid with diamonds that sparkled under the light, like a true fairy walking on the Milky Way, every step was exceptionally graceful and beautiful.
Walking alongside the four sons of the Shen Family, one could tell she was the daughter of the Shen Family!
She lifted her skirt, performing a dignified curtsey to the Shen Family parents, a movement as fluid and beautiful as it was in a courtly dance!
Pei Jue, watching Qingwu walk onto the stage step by step, found his breath caught!
Shen Qingwu! So her last name was Shen, not Lin, nor Qing…
Shen Dongli held Qingwu’s hand, facing the audience.
“This is my and Wanjun’s youngest daughter, Shen Qingwu, who, due to certain reasons in the past, didn’t grow up with us. We are so grateful she has finally returned to us! Thank you all for attending our little girl’s birthday banquet, Shen is deeply grateful!”
Qingwu also lifted her skirt, curtseying in gratitude to the crowd.
The four sons of the Shen Family, along with Shen Shaojia in formal dress, stood below the stage, like knights surrounding their princess, also bowing in acknowledgment!
Shen Dongli continued, “Little Wu is our youngest daughter, while Shaojia is the adopted daughter of the Shen Family, also my and Wanjun’s daughter. In the future, please take care of these six juniors of the Shen Family…”
Six juniors!
Annie covered her mouth in astonishment, implying that Ms. Shen Yurou wasn’t even recognized…
She wasn’t a miss of the Shen Family at all!
The real eldest daughter of the Shen Family was Qingwu, the one her boss had been yearning for!
