Ye Shu returned to the living room and discovered that Qin Musen and Sheng Shaochen had shifted their conversation from business to the art of tea.
Watching Sheng Shaochen talk eloquently, rattling off various world-famous teas as if he were listing treasures, Ye Shu realized that her knowledge of Mr. Sheng was really just scratching the surface; she hadn’t expected him to be so knowledgeable.
She sat down beside him, unlocked her phone, and gently placed it in front of him.
Sheng Shaochen’s eyebrows knitted together the moment he saw the entertainment gossip.
Right then, Qin Musen’s butler came in and reported, "Master, the Oscar organizers have invited you to attend the award ceremony. Would you like to..."
"Forget it, forget it. Every year they want these old bones of mine to present awards to those young folks. I’d rather stay at home and listen to tunes, cultivate my birds," Qin Musen said, and, getting into the mood, he even began to sing a capella, "A leaf, a light boat going..."
Seeing this, the butler was about to retreat with the invitation in hand but suddenly heard Sheng Shaochen say, "Wait!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Musen gestured for the butler to wait and asked Sheng Shaochen, "Why, are you interested in that sort of event?"
Sheng Shaochen smiled, "Not particularly interested, just thought I’d take her to see it."
"Well then," Qin Musen immediately told the butler, "go tell the organizers that Mr. Sheng and Mrs. Sheng will attend the award ceremony on my behalf."
"Yes, Master, I’ll go and inform them." After leaving the invitation, the butler then left.
At this point, Qin Musen yawned twice in quick succession and chuckled awkwardly, "I’m old, not like you young people. Staying up late is sure to cause problems. I’m going to sleep. Your guest rooms are on the second floor and—oh, the kitchen will be sending up a late-night snack soon. Don’t be shy."
When Ye Shu heard there was food, she immediately felt her stomach growl with hunger. Right on cue, the kitchen staff had brought all sorts of delicious foods to the living room. Without concern for her ladylike image, Ye Shu picked up the fork and speared a piece of authentic fillet steak.
Suddenly, two figures ran into the room, one after the other. Ye Shu didn’t even have to think to know, apart from those two, who else would dare to run about in this villa?
Handsome B was also a big eater, and as soon as he smelled the food, he dashed in and immediately grabbed a piece of braised pork knuckle, began gnawing at it without hesitation.
Qin Qianqian, being beauty-conscious, never ate late-night snacks, but now she, too, joined Handsome B in eating.
They all ate like reincarnated starving ghosts, with the exception of Sheng Shaochen, who ate with elegance, truly not losing the bearing of a CEO.
As she ate, Ye Shu asked, "Ah Chen, are you really taking me to the Oscar award ceremony tomorrow? Why?"
Handsome B perked up at that, his mouth glistening with grease, "What did you say? The Oscar award ceremony? How could you not take me along? My Entertainment New Force is also ready to make its debut on the international stage!"
The next day, Jin City, Sheng Mansion!
Lying in the luxurious and comfortable Sheng Family’s large guest room, with a personal doctor at her service, Mrs. Han was so delighted that her face was blooming with joy.
Han Ruixin’s injury wasn’t serious anymore, and she was already able to get out of bed and move freely.
"Daughter, look at this. The home of a wealthy family is just different. Although this house looks too rustic, if you observe closely, you’ll find that it’s exceptionally delicate. Every little detail is so flawlessly perfect. My dear, you’re really in luck this time, winning the Old Lady’s favor. In the future, you’ll be able to live here and enjoy the good life."
