Chapter 179: Don’t be discovered.

Shen Shaosheng looked back at Qin Manting, and her words suddenly stimulated his desire to win.

  Today, he must win.

  ...

  The banquet started.

  Shen Hong took his wife and children back to the lobby and sat at the fourth table.

  All the guests returned to their seats one after another, in an orderly manner and without making any noise.

  The master of ceremonies began to preside over the ceremony, speaking auspicious words, and then began to tell Mrs. Li's life story in detail. He even cried at the emotional parts.

  Mrs. Li also cried.

  The guests were infected by the atmosphere and had tears in their eyes.

  Ruan Ruan is looking forward to it being over soon, she just wants to eat cake.

  The three brothers Shen Zhiyuan, Shen Zhiqing and Shen Zhiyu quietly went down and carried the prepared five-layer cake to the center of the stage.

  "I invite today's birthday girl, Mrs. Li, to come up to the stage and make a wish."

  "Mrs. Li, let us help you up!" Cheng Yurong and Shen Hong stood up and walked behind Mrs. Li.

  "Oh, why did you give me a cake for an old man like me? It's so gorgeous, it must be very expensive!"

  "No matter how expensive it is, it can't compare to Mrs. Li." Cheng Yurong coaxed Mrs. Li, except for this five-layer birthday cake , their family also gave a big gift -

  a priceless gift, and the drunkard didn't care about the wine. This time, he used Mrs. Li's birthday to express the importance the Shen family attached to Jiang Lanru.

  This child has no love from his parents, how pitiful he is.

  But luckily we have their Shen family now.

  "Good kids... They are all good kids. Ru'er didn't choose anyone else..." Madam Li, with tears in her eyes, was helped onto the stage.

  Looking at the more than two hundred expectant guests in the audience, she closed her eyes, clasped her hands together and began to make a wish in her heart.

  I hope that there will be a present day every year.

  ...

  Shen Zhiyuan handed Master Li a thin silver knife and asked him and Mrs. Li to cut the cake together.

  Under the expectant eyes of people, Mrs. Li cut the first cut of the five-layer birthday cake.

  Mr. Li did the rest, cutting the cakes layer by layer, and Jiang Lanru helped put the cakes on the plates.

  Children, little girls, and wives are all looking forward to what today's birthday cake will taste like.

  Based on Prince Shen's attention, the taste of this cake is definitely top-notch, and may even be a new flavor.

  Mrs. Li sat at her seat and took the first bite of cake with a small fork, showing a happy smile.

  "It's delicious. It tastes very good. Let's try it."

  She shed a tear. Today's cake tasted so delicious.

  Although I have eaten no less than ten cakes in the past two years, today's cake is more delicious than the previous ten cakes combined.

  Mrs. Li knew that today's birthday cake was carefully made by the Shen family and put a lot of thought into it.

  The guests also enjoyed the cake and compliments poured in.

  Shen Zhiqing worked hard for three days and three nights for today's birthday cake before making such a delicious new flavor.

  Seeing the reactions and compliments from the guests made him happy.

  Ruan Ruan also liked to eat, but he only ate one piece because he was afraid that the guests would not eat it.

  Even the five brothers Shen Hong and Shen Zhiyuan didn't eat.

  This ensures that every guest can have something to eat.

  ...

  The beautifully dressed maids brought out fragrant dishes one after another.

  Ruan Ruan couldn't help but swallow her saliva. She hadn't eaten well in the past half month, and she was going to enjoy a feast today.

  In addition to bird's nest, shark's fin, sea cucumber, abalone, and various game foods, the banquet also included corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, but the portions were not large, and each person could only taste one bite.

  These were given to Mr. Li by Shen Hong. He was reluctant to eat them and saved them for Mrs. Li's birthday banquet to entertain guests, so as to save face.

  If Shen Qingqing were at the scene and ate the delicacies made of corn and potatoes, he would definitely arouse suspicion and investigate the matter.     Too bad she wasn't there.

  Shen Shaosheng and Qin Manting ate so happily that they forgot about their tasks for a while.

  ...

  At this time, a maid came to Shen Zhiyuan with a wine bottle and poured wine into his glass.

  He picked up the glass and drank it in one sip. It was just a small sip, and he didn't get very drunk.

  The maid left immediately after watching Shen Zhiyuan drink the wine she poured.

  However, when passing by Qin Manting, he blinked at her three times.

  Qin Manting returned the maid's smile and lowered her head to drink.

  However, this glass of wine had just been filled by a maid in green clothes.

  Shen Shaosheng, who was sitting across from him, also felt proud when he saw Shen Zhiyuan drink the glass of medicine-laced wine.

  He turned around to look for Xu Wanrou, and finally found that the maid he had arranged was gradually approaching her.

  "Miss Xu, I'll fill you up with wine."

  "No, I've already had a drink and I'm a little drunk." Xu Wanrou declined softly.

  "Today is Mrs. Li's wedding banquet. Miss Xu should eat more food and drink more wine to have a good time, right? You see, everyone drank several glasses. Today's wine is wine from the Western Regions. It is sweet with a hint of sourness and wine. The fragrance."

  The maid advised.

  Xu Wanrou hesitated for a moment, remembering the small note that Shen Zhiyuan stuffed into her not long ago. The content in it was...

  "Then... please fill it up."

  "Miss Xu, please enjoy the wine."

  Xu Wanrou nodded slightly, picked up the small glass, Drink it all in one gulp.

  "Hmm~ It's really good wine..." She deliberately pretended to be satisfied and fond of it.

  When the maid saw this, she silently withdrew.

  She deliberately walked around in front of Shen Shaosheng and nodded to him.

  Very good!

  I didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. It seemed that even God was helping me.

  Now all she has to do is wait for Xu Wanrou to get dizzy and her body to react, and the maid takes the opportunity to deliberately wet her clothes again, and then she can take her to the side room to change clothes.

  At that time...

  Shen Shaosheng's imagination was filled with thoughts of himself and Xu Wanrou having a romantic night together.

  As he thought about it, his body gradually reacted.

  ...

  Qin Manting had been paying attention to Shen Zhiyuan's situation. After a while, she saw him frowning and closing his eyes in discomfort, and was quickly helped away by his entourage.

  Seeing this, she was overjoyed. She glanced at Shen Shaosheng and left quickly with her two maids and two followers.

  Shen Zhiyuan leaned slightly on Shen Su's shoulder, and was helped by him to leave the table and go to a side room to rest.

  "Is the eldest son feeling very uncomfortable? For example, call the doctor to come and take a look."

  "It's not serious, Ah Su. You'll be guarding the door later. After a while, you can pretend to have a stomachache and go to the toilet."

  "Ah? You're the eldest son, sir." Is there something wrong?"

  "Well, sneak back and do me a favor then, so that no one will find out." "Okay." Qin Manting, who was following Shen Zhiyuan secretly   ,

  saw   Shen Zhiyuan entering a side room. After the entourage came out, he kept guard at the door.  

 Just when she was nervous and anxious, and was about to ask her maid to lure away the attendant, she saw him holding his stomach and crying out in pain, and ran away in a hurry. 

  Qin Manting asked one of her attendants to follow Shen Zhiyuan's entourage to prevent him from returning halfway to ruin her good deeds.  

 "Knock on the door and see what's going on inside."  

 "Yes, Miss."
