After breaking off the engagement, she became the CEO's favorite

Banquet hall on the second floor of Shen Mansion.

On the long square dining table, people were toasting each other and drinking.

The waiters were walking around, removing empty plates and serving new dishes.

Chu Yue, who was sitting next to Lu Zhongyuan, glanced at the terrace inadvertently and said in surprise:

"Hey, where are they?"

The volume was not loud, but it caught the attention of everyone present.

Knowing that she was being rude, Chu Yue smiled sheepishly and apologized in the direction of Cai Wenshu.

"Sorry, I made a mistake."

"I saw that Ranran was not in her seat, and I wondered if she was not feeling well."

"I'll drink three cups as punishment for disturbing everyone's meal."

After saying that, she raised her glass.

But he was stopped by Cai Wenshu.

"It's just a family dinner, not a business meeting. There's no question of whether there will be a fine or not."

Chu Yue's smile froze on her face as she raised her glass.

She put down the wine glass in dismay, and soon returned to her usual gentle and elegant demeanor.

"Xiling," Chu Yue asked Shen Xiling naturally, "Where is Ranran going, do you know?"

Shen Xiling shook his head and said with a smile:

"Ran Ran may be tired."

Lu Keke rushed ahead of Chu Yue, and said with envy and coquettishness:

"I'm so envious of Sister Ran..."

"After you finish eating, you can go play—"

Chu Yue quickly scolded in a low voice.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You have no respect for your parents."

Shen Nanye, who was sitting on the right, had a gloomy expression and snorted coldly.

"No rules."

Lu Keke pursed her lips and her eyes immediately turned red.

Lu Zhongyuan rebuked unceremoniously:

"You cry over a small matter. Who are you trying to show your face to?"

Cai Wenshu was also accustomed to this kind of scene.

According to her usual habits, she would just smile soothingly and not say much.

But at this moment, she explained in a somewhat abnormal way:

"You're still a little girl, it's normal for you to act like a spoiled child."

"Coco, don't be sad, eat more."

Lu Keke wiped the corners of her eyes obediently and burst into laughter.

"Thank you grandma."

Just when it seemed that the matter should be exposed.

Lu Keke put down the tableware again and asked Chu Yue obediently:

"Mom, I also want to be with Sister Ran and the others."

"Look, they are all gone. Who knows where they went to play?"

There was a naivety in her tone that was unique to a young girl, making it easy for people to believe that she was really a child who couldn't sit still.

Chu Yue also showed the embarrassment that is unique to parents very well.

"Eat well and don't be so willful."

Their volume is just right.

It is neither sensational nor loud enough for everyone sitting around to hear.

Lu Keke ignored him and kept begging in a coquettish manner.

Chu Yue had no choice but to shamelessly speak to Shen Xiling:

"Xiling, do you know where Ranran and the others went?"

"Can they bring cocoa?"

"This child is always in a mess and makes a lot of noise."

Lu Keke made a cute face at the right time.

Cai Wenshu smiled knowingly and chimed in:

"Xiling, you must know where Ranran went?"

"Tell Coco."

"Otherwise, her chair would burn her butt."

This made everyone around laugh.

Lu Keke lowered her head shyly, her cheeks flushed, looking very cute.

Shen Xiling paused, and finally put on a smile, but felt a little embarrassed.

"...Ran Ran didn't tell me where they were going."

As soon as the words came out, the originally happy atmosphere froze in an instant.

Everyone here is a smart person, how come you can't understand the meaning behind the words?

Only Lu Keke smiled innocently:

"Haha, Brother Xiling, are you being excluded?"

"I see that Brother Zhang Heng has gone to play with them."

"Someone is holding him up. I don't know if he's drunk."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Xiling's face immediately turned cold.

Chu Yue was just smiling and preparing to make up for it, but Gu Lian, who was sitting in the middle, a little far away from Chu Yue, suddenly stood up.

With a "clang", the sound of tableware colliding attracted the attention of the whole audience.

Zhang Yuming frowned and said angrily:

"What are you crazy about? Why don't you sit down quickly?"

"Isn't that embarrassing enough?"

But Gu Qingfang just looked at Gu Lian and said nothing.

Gu Lian held the back of the chair with one hand, trying to keep her shaking body steady, and said with a forced smile:

"I, I'm a little worried about Xiaoheng."

"He's drunk. I, I want to go check it out..."

Saying that, he was about to leave.

Zhang Yuming stopped him sternly:

"What are you looking at? Do you know where he went?"

"Xiao Heng is already so old, and you still treat him as a child."

"All his problems are caused by your pampering!"

Gu Lian's eyes immediately turned red, but she seemed to be used to it. She still had a habitual smile on her face and did not stop leaving.

At this moment, Lu Keke suddenly exclaimed "Ah".

"I think Sister Ran was also helped out by someone."

"She's not drunk too, is she?"

"Mom," she turned and shook Chu Yue's arm, "Should we also go to see Sister Ran, in case she..."

"Sister Ran and Brother Zhang Heng were engaged before!"

The atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

All the guests stopped what they were doing and looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Only the young model brought by Lu Dajun smiled coquettishly without any tact.

Lu Keke realized belatedly and widened her eyes, waving her hands in panic.

"I, I didn't mean that..."

"Brother Xiling, please don't misunderstand. Sister Ran is not that kind of person."

Shen Xiling's face was filled with worry, and his tightly closed lips revealed his repressed heart.

Cai Wenshu was angry.

Shen Xilu, who was standing by, slammed the table and said sternly:

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

He turned his head and called Uncle Shen, "Go and find the young lady."

"This is a family dinner. She is a member of the Shen family. Why should she hide?"

Uncle Shen nodded and left, but was stopped by Shen Xiling.

He greeted Shen Xilu and said:

"Grandpa, I'll go find it."

Lu Keke popped up again, "I want to go too! Maybe Sister Ran and the others are having a great time!"

After saying this, Gu Lian became restless.

Cai Wenshu couldn't bear to watch it anymore and waved her hands helplessly.

"go Go."

"These little brats can't sit still for hours."

“I don’t know why the elders are worried about this.”

Uncle Shen led a group of people out of the banquet hall and came to the stairs.

He said to Shen Xiling:

"Young Madam said she was going to rest, but I just sent someone to check her room and she's not there."

Shen Xiling hasn't spoken yet.

Gu Lian couldn't help but ask:

"What about Xiao Heng?"

Uncle Shen turned around and said to Gu Lian:

"Master Zhang seems to have gone downstairs."

Gu Lian immediately took two steps at a time and ran downstairs like the wind.

Lu Keke couldn't hide her joy and quickly followed.

Shen Xiling looked at Uncle Shen, and Uncle Shen nodded.

After receiving the response, Shen Xiling started to go downstairs.

The first floor was empty.

Apart from the waiters walking back and forth, there was no sign of Zhang Heng at all.

Gu Lian bit his fingers anxiously, muttering to himself.

Shen Xiling frowned and scolded Uncle Shen:

"What about people?"

Uncle Shen apologized respectfully and temporarily stepped back to question the servants.

Soon, a young waiter was brought in front of the crowd by Uncle Shen.

"Tell me quickly! Have you seen Young Master Zhang?"

The waiter trembled and lowered his head. He was frightened by Uncle Shen and collapsed to the ground with weak legs the next second.

"Hurry up and tell me!" Gu Lian stamped her feet anxiously.

"He... Young Master Zhang, the young master went..." The waiter raised his head and pointed tremblingly at a place not far away, "He, he went somewhere."

Everyone looked in the direction of his finger.

In the dim shadows, it was the direction of the livestock shed.

If the waiter hadn't pointed the way, no one would have thought that Zhang Heng would be there.

A perfect place to hide away.

Gu Lian’s face turned pale in an instant.

If Lu Keke hadn't supported her, she would have fallen to the ground.

In contrast to Gu Lian, Lu Keke was very cheerful, as if she was comforting Gu Lian.

"Wow, there is such a mysterious place in Shen Mansion~"

"Sister Ran and the others might be there too."

Shen Xiling lowered his eyes and looked at the waiter on the ground, his eyes full of dangerous warnings.

"lead the way."

he said.
