Shancai Rebirth: My Choice

Daomingsi didn't understand what Ximen was saying in the first place. He just vaguely heard one or two words, so he asked this question.

Watching Senior Sister Jing and Shanlai walking further and further away, Ximen happily picked up the champagne, called the waiter, and put a glass in Lei's hand.

Lei had no intention of drinking champagne in the first place, but Simon just clinked glasses with him and took a sip with great pleasure.

Misaku saw that Lei's eyes were following the direction of Shanlai and the others, so he patted his good brother on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Senior Jing is here."

After saying that, I asked for a drink and clinked glasses with him.

Seeing that he was afraid that Shanlai would be kidnapped by someone, Ximen waved the champagne in front of him.

"You are here."

Deng and Ruilin had just come over to entertain the guests. When they saw them here together, they came over to say hello and even bumped into Ximen Meizuo.

Daomingsi didn't pick up the wine glass. He put his hands in his pockets and looked at the banquet in front of him with disdain.

Someone came over to say hello to him, but he ignored them. Those people were just asking for trouble, so no one came over.

"Master Daoming is here too. Come, let's have a toast." Deng Heruilin took the glass of champagne next to him and handed it to Daomingsi.

Daomingsi could at least tell the difference between the two. Although he was very reluctant, he still took it and bumped into Deng and Ruilin.

"Enjoy your meal and have fun, the banquet will begin soon." Deng Heruilin said modestly, turning his gaze in the direction of Shanlai and the others, and then quickly turned back.

Ximen was very considerate and said that they would find their own fun; Meizuo also smiled and chatted with Deng and Ruilin for a few words. Lei didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about anything, so he just smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

As for Daoming Si, he had just clinked glasses with Deng and Ruilin and had been standing there, looking arrogant and unapproachable.

Deng and Ruilin greeted them and then left quickly as they were busy entertaining other guests.

Seeing Deng Heruilin walking away, Ximen spoke up: "The Deng He family rarely holds banquets. Today's is a rare event." Ximen sighed and picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth to fill his stomach.

In fact, no one likes this kind of boring and tedious banquet. If it weren't for the social circle and connections, not everyone would like to attend it.

Many wealthy ladies gathered together to talk about the latest season's bags and jewelry, and also talked about their children.

Most of them are just polite words.

What they really mean when they talk about their children is that we should all talk about it together. My family happens to have the resources your family needs, and my family also has the resources my family needs.

Very good, everyone benefits from each other and ties two people who don’t even know each other together.

The young masters and young ladies of wealthy families may appear glamorous on the surface, but in reality they are suffering terribly.

They are born for the family. When the family needs you, you have to marry them, whether you are willing or not.

Two unrelated people were forced into a pair for various benefits.

Including them, no exception.

Simon smiled bitterly, wondering which unlucky woman would spend the rest of her life with him.

……

Jing took Shanlai to the place where the daughters of wealthy families were. She took her arm and whispered in her ear: "Just go over and say hello."

Shan Lai nodded. She believed in Senior Jing unconditionally.

Senior Jing is so beautiful. If she were a man, she would probably want to pursue Senior Jing.

So gentle, so considerate, she is simply the ideal of the world.

"Jing." A woman saw Fujita Jing, shouted in surprise, and walked towards her with her skirt lifted.

Fujitaro Shizuka said a few polite words to her, and then began to introduce Shanlai who was standing next to her. A hint of envy flashed in the woman's eyes, and she stretched out her hand and shook hands with Shanlai symbolically.

"Hello, nice to meet you." Although the woman was smiling, she never stopped looking at Shan Lai.

After the pleasantries were finally over, Shan Lai quietly asked Senior Sister Jing, "Who was that woman just now?"

"I don't know either." Fujido Shizuka lowered her voice and whispered to Shanlai.

Hearing Senior Sister Jing's answer, Shan Lai and she laughed at the same time.

At banquets in upper-class circles, no one cares who you are. What they really look at is how powerful the family behind you is. Then the person who greets you will decide how much face they will give you.

For example, the woman just now, Shanlai just came back, she didn’t know her.

Senior Jing grew up in Country K. Although she was abroad for some time, she still didn’t recognize anyone after she came back.

But that woman knew Senior Jing.

Just be polite and that's it.

Soon after, a few more people came over, first greeted Senior Sister Jing, and then pretended to see Shan Lai next to her and gave her all kinds of exaggerated compliments.

After listening to several people's compliments in succession, Shanlai felt that it was really tiring to attend such a banquet.

It’s true that people like to hear nice things, but hearing them too much will make you tired.

Probably because of the painful look on her face, Senior Jing felt that she really disliked these people.

So he pulled her to the other side where the pastries were placed. The two of them picked up some with tongs, sat down where there were fewer people and started eating.

The two of them didn't say anything, just ate the cakes quietly.

While eating, Shanlai suddenly became very curious about what kind of person Senior Sister Jing was.

She stopped eating the pastries and asked, "Senior Jing, have you ever thought about what kind of person you want to be?" Shanlai looked at her without any hesitation.

Seeing the serious look on the little girl's face, Fujido Shizuka tilted her head slightly and smiled at her, "What kind of person?"

"Girls shouldn't be defined or constrained by rules and regulations."

Shan Lai was silent, chewing over Senior Sister Jing's words carefully.

Senior Sister Jing looked into the distance and said, "When you can't even fill your stomach, you won't have so many thoughts. All you want is to have a full meal." As she spoke, tears flashed in Senior Sister Jing's eyes.

"Everyone's pursuit is different, and I just want to do my best to do what I like to do."

"After so many years of higher education, I should put these things to good use and help those in need."

After Jing finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Shanlai and reached out to gently touch her little head.

"Forget it, Shanlai is still just a child, you will understand slowly in the future."

As she spoke, Senior Sister Jing started to laugh and looked at her lovingly.

"Xiao Shanlai, you must remember to give priority to those who consider you." After saying that, Senior Sister Jing picked up a piece of cake and fed it to her.

Senior Sister Jing smiled slightly, and Shanlai felt that she was really beautiful at this moment, not just in her appearance.

Shanlai was eating pastries, and followed Senior Sister Jing's example by feeding her a piece of cake. The two girls were talking and laughing.
