Chapter 137： Return Banquet

The new store has opened, but there are not many customers. After all, not everyone believes in talismans.

Shen Yueran proposed a wave of publicity, but Pei Anzhu rejected it:

“I opened this talisman shop not to make a lot of money, but to make it more convenient for the fans and viewers in my live broadcast room.”

“So there’s no need to promote it specifically, just tell them directly during the next live broadcast.”

After hearing this, Shen Yueran said thoughtfully:

“Then I will go to the Dolphin Live Broadcasting Platform to discuss cooperation. Then I will directly put the store URL of the market website in the live broadcast room.”

●There are many bloggers on live broadcast platforms who specialize in bringing and selling goods. The anchors, platforms and third parties have all worked closely together before.

Shen Yueran felt that Pei Anzhu could do the same.

Pei Anzhu didn't worry about this, so he left it all to Shen Yueran. She was only responsible for drawing the talisman.

Two days later, Pei Anzhu was thinking about finding a time to broadcast the sixth live broadcast, but he received a call from Zhou Yalan, saying that the preparations for the return banquet were almost complete and asked her when she would go back.

Until now, Pei Anzhu remembered that such a thing had happened and that he had made an agreement with the Pei family.

  Ordinary people still need a long time to prepare for a wedding banquet. At least they should send invitations to the invited guests in advance to facilitate them to reserve time.

Let alone a wealthy family, in terms of etiquette, they will only be more thoughtful.

But the Pei family is an exception.

They probably think that Pei Anzhu, a daughter who came back from the countryside, is not worthy of their careful preparation. It has only been more than half a month since she returned to the Pei family.

In such a short period of time, the banquet has been completed, and we are just waiting for her, the protagonist, to return.

“When is the return banquet?” Pei Anzhu asked.

“The day after tomorrow.” Zhou Yalan replied, “Don’t waste time. It’s best to come back early so that I can have someone come over to style you. There are also clothes that need to be tried on.”

Pei Anzhu paused, suddenly remembered something, and asked one more question:

"Can I know how you plan to announce my identity to the outside world? Isn't it a real daughter? Is that a twin or an adopted daughter?"

After the words fell, there was endless silence on both ends of the phone.

Zhou Yalan suddenly felt her throat tightening, and she spoke slightly nervously:

“Anzhu, it’s not that mom doesn’t want to recognize you, it’s just that Mingzhu has been in this industry for more than 20 years. If her identity is suddenly revealed, she may not be able to deal with herself..."

Pei Anzhu understood.

The Pei family is afraid of embarrassing Pei Mingzhu, so they will not reveal the true and false daughter.

As for her, she is a daughter who has never been raised, and she is about to get married, and she is marrying into the Feng family of a top wealthy family. It is a certainty that it will not change because of her status.

After all, the Feng family recognizes the horoscope, not the identity.

"I understand." Pei Anzhu said in a calm tone, "Since I don't plan to reveal my true daughter's identity, no matter what I wear, I won't embarrass your Pei family, so I won't go back early to avoid causing trouble for each other. ”

"Can…"

Zhou Yalan wanted to say something else, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Pei Anzhu:

“Send me the address and I’ll be there on time.”

"Don't worry, I won't wear fancy clothes to the banquet. Apart from the fact that it doesn't suit your status as a famous lady, there won't be anything rude about it."

After saying this, she hung up the phone.

In fact, Pei Anzhu can understand the thoughts of the Pei family—

The identity of the real and fake daughter is not disclosed, but it does not mean how deeply they love Pei Mingzhu.

It is nothing more than that the future of her recovered daughter has been determined. She is a tool to exchange benefits from the Feng family, but Pei Mingzhu will still be useful in the future.

Giving Pei Mingzhu the status of a real daughter can also be regarded as giving her a bargaining chip.

If the outside world knows that she is just an adopted daughter, even if they want to use her for marriage or other things in the future, I am afraid it will not be enough.

Pei Anzhu put this incident behind him, then logged into Weibo and posted the time of the next live broadcast under the account of [Qingzhu Fairy Lord]:

The day after tomorrow, right after the return banquet held by the Pei family.

***

Concerning the Pei family’s banquet, both the Qin family and the Shen family received invitations.

Shen Yueran will also go, but she cannot be as casual as Pei Anzhu, so she returned home two days in advance to prepare for the banquet.

In the house in Biqi Lake Community, Pei Anzhu was found to be alone.

She didn’t prepare any fancy dress for herself, and she didn’t want to waste time on any stunning look. She just went to the mall and bought three things:

A light green modified cheongsam with plain patterns, dignified, elegant and graceful.

A fine jade hosta, without a trace of impurities, translucent and flawless in color.

A pair of relatively ordinary white high-heeled sandals, small and exquisite, very comfortable to wear.

These three things, compared to those of wealthy families who can easily customize them and have high-end luxury brands, they naturally don’t need to cost that much, but they are not bad either.

The cheongsam costs 3,000 yuan, the hosta costs 25,000 yuan, and the shoes cost 2,000 yuan. The total is only 30,000 yuan. Compared with ordinary people, it is already considered high-end.

The day of the Pei family's banquet soon came.

Pei Anzhu got up early in the morning. After washing, he put on a cheongsam and tied his hair into a bun with a hosta. He did not use any hair ties or hairpins. His black hair was naturally tied behind his head.

There are two strands of broken hair hanging slightly on the temples, and the whole person looks lazy and casual, yet elegant.

She drove to the address of the Pei family’s banquet: Bishui Champs.

This is the private manor of the Pei family. It is not particularly large in scale and cannot be compared with the Feng family's house. However, it is about the same size as the five houses in ancient times. In the past, a prince or count would have to live in it.

Pei Anzhu drove her mobility scooter that cost more than 100,000 yuan to the scene. She looked out of place among the luxury cars that cost more than 1 million yuan.

The parking boy drove the car to the parking lot, while Pei Anzhu walked towards the door.

Then, he was stopped.

The person at the door asked her to show her invitation, but she didn't, and she was silent for a while.

The silence is because the Pei family—

This homecoming banquet was nominally held for her, but no one told the receptionist in advance what the real protagonist looked like, and she was kept out.

What's more, she has never attended a banquet of a wealthy family and forgot about the invitation letter, but wouldn't the Pei family have thought of it?

Or is it that the Pei family did it on purpose, to give her a rebellious attitude?

Does the Pei family want to see her stopped and make her realize that in this circle, without family background, she is nothing and can only bow to the Pei family?

Once she asks the Pei family for help today and asks the Pei family to take her in, it means that the Pei family's plan has succeeded and she will be inferior to the Pei family.

It's not a big deal, but it's disgusting enough.

Thinking of this, Pei Anzhu smiled sarcastically: The Pei family still underestimated her.

She took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Shen Yueran. Within three minutes, Shen Yueran came over with Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen nodded slightly at her: "Miss Pei."

To keep Pei Anzhu's identity confidential, she did not call her "Master" this time, but the words "Miss Pei" also made the receptionist at the door stunned.

If it was Pei Anzhu alone, even if he explained his identity, the greeter might not believe him, but with the Shen family's wife and young lady proving it, he would not dare to say another word.

At the Pei family's manor, at the Pei family's banquet, a strange Miss Pei appeared.

The greeter knew what the banquet was for, and he immediately thought that the person in front of him might be another daughter of the Pei family who was about to reveal his identity.

In an instant, his face turned pale with fright, fearing that Miss Pei would attack him:

“I’m sorry, Miss Pei, I’m blind and blind.”

"It's okay." Pei Anzhu shook his head, and then greeted Mrs. Shen and Shen Yueran.

Shen Yueran took her arm and took her into the manor:

“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, and now you’re finally here.”

"Thank you for coming to pick me up." Pei Anzhu said with a smile.

"You're welcome, the Pei family can only do such petty things." Shen Yueran's face showed disdain, "They are trying to stumbling upon you."

Although Shen Yueran is naive and innocent, who among the girls who grew up in a wealthy family has never seen some underhand tactics?

She could tell at a glance that the Pei family was doing it on purpose, so she became even more angry:

“A group of dogs look down upon you and dare to look down on you, but they don’t know that they will never be able to reach someone as high as you in their lifetime.”

“I dare to suppress you now, but when I know your identity in the future, I will regret it if I can’t protect you.”

"Don't be angry, it's not worth it for them, and I don't care about them." Pei Anzhu comforted, "We are not from the same place, and we won't have many interactions in the future."

Shen Yueran was pouting angrily, but after hearing what Pei Anzhu said, she immediately smiled and said:

"That's it! Let's go, I'll take you to meet my friends! They are all a group of people who have money and nothing to spend it on. If you get to know them, maybe you can get a few more customers in the future!"

Pei Anzhu was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry.

What happened to her clients was not a good thing. When Shen Yueran said this, wasn't she really cursing those friends?

But she didn't say these words, and was only led by Shen Yueran and integrated into this circle.

Shen Yueran’s circle of friends is a group of second-generation ancestors who do not need to inherit the family business, but are supported by older brothers and sisters who are responsible for their responsibilities. They can live and eat well just by getting dividends.

Most of them are content with the status quo, eating, drinking and having fun, just like Shen Yueran once did. Occasionally they have a little ambition and make some investments and start up businesses, but most of them can't persist.

However, this group of people have strong family backgrounds to rely on, and it is not bad to choose to live a comfortable life.

Those who can play with Shen Yueran are not bad at heart.

Everyone was very enthusiastic about Pei Anzhu. They learned that she was the protagonist of today's banquet, but the Pei family deliberately blocked her from the door. Everyone talked about the Pei family and disliked her.

Obviously, there is also a chain of contempt among wealthy families, and the Pei family happens to be at the bottom.

“What do you do, little sister?” one of the boys named Fu Chong asked.

The Fu family is one of the "Four Families" in the "Three Surnames, Four Families and Five Houses". Fu Chong is the direct youngest son of the Fu family. He is truly a young master born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

He has deep attainments in eating, drinking and having fun, and he is very loyal, so his status in this small circle is not low.

So as his question came out, everyone else looked at Pei Anzhu curiously, waiting for her answer. Even Shen Yueran looked at her.

Shen Yueran certainly knew what Pei Anzhu did, but she was not sure whether Pei Anzhu would expose his identity and abilities at this time.

Pei Anzhu looked at their faces and determined that they were all friends with no bad intentions and worthy of making friends, so he answered truthfully:

“I am a fortune teller and fortune teller. I also occasionally read Feng Shui and do other business.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent. After a long time, Fu Chong finally spoke:

“God... God’s stick?”

For Shen Yueran's sake, he was too embarrassed to directly say that he was a liar.
