The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

"Has this kid offended the Shen family?"

As Lu Yuan was asked to leave, the members of the Star Dou Squad exchanged bewildered glances.

"That's possible. Haven't you noticed? Miss Shen usually ignores him."

"Anyone with eyes can see that it's not just ignoring them, it's downright indifference!"

"I've heard from the past that Qi Sha and the third branch of the Shen family seem to have some minor grudges."

Upon hearing Tang Guangming's words, the Beidou team didn't react much, but the Nandou team members frowned and their expressions became serious.

Offending the third branch of the Shen family is no small matter, like a quarrel between teammates; it could very well cost you your life.

As teammates, they were naturally worried about Lu Yuan.

"Sigh~!"

Today is a birthday banquet, so the third branch of the Shen family will naturally not really do anything to Lu Yuan, but making things difficult for him is inevitable.

They were asked to leave their seats, and Jin Xinxin and the others sighed helplessly. This was deliberately meant to embarrass Lu Yuan.

If Lu Yuan is smart, he can swallow his anger. But I'm afraid he's young and hot-blooded. Today is the Grand Elder's birthday banquet. If he causes a scene, no one can protect him.

Worried, the group kept their eyes fixed on Lu Yuan, hoping to stop him if he lost his mind.

"there……"

But what happened next puzzled them.

Weren't you trying to embarrass Lu Yuan? Why did you end up taking him to the VIP area?

Although the garden is not small, it is still within sight.

Soon, the waiter led Lu Yuan to a table and sat him down.

"No! That's not the VIP area!"

Just as he was wondering, Tang Guangming suddenly exclaimed, then quickly lowered his voice.

"Isn't that the Shen family's own area?"

"The Shen family's own area?"

The others were taken aback, and upon closer inspection, they too couldn't help but widen their eyes.

you do not say!

The entire banquet hall was centered around a huge red round table, which was the main table. Apart from Shen Fuyue himself, only a few top dignitaries in the base city were qualified to sit there.

On either side of the main table, one side is a larger area, which is the VIP area, specifically for entertaining distinguished guests. The other side is a smaller area with only four seemingly ordinary tables, which are actually seats for the Shen family members.

The Shen family members mentioned here are Shen Fuyue's direct relatives, not members of the Shen family clan.

Many people know that not only was Old Master Shen highly accomplished in his studies, but he was also in excellent health. He married four wives in his lifetime, and these four tables correspond to the four branches of the Shen family.

"Lu Yuan, him!"

Lu Yuan was so excited that he sat in the Shen family's seat that he used his real name instead of his team's code name.

Not only the Southern Dipper team, but even the Northern Dipper team members were filled with surprise.

"Could it be that he and Miss Shen..."

"I noticed it a long time ago, there was something fishy going on between them! What do you mean by 'ignoring me'? They were clearly flirting."

Immediately afterwards, Jin Xinxin and the others started discussing it again.

Could it be that Lu Yuan and Shen Qingqiu have already made up their lives for each other? Otherwise, why would Lu Yuan be sitting in the Shen family's area?

"No, he and Miss Shen are not at the same table."

But at this moment, Gao Shu spoke up.

Upon closer inspection, everyone realized it was true!

There were four tables in total, with Shen Qingqiu representing the eldest branch of the family at one table.

Similarly, Lu Yuan was also seated alone at a table, separated by two other tables.

If it were related to Shen Qingqiu, Lu Yuan should be sitting at the same table with Shen Qingqiu.

"What exactly is going on?"

For a moment, everyone was a little confused.

"What the hell...?"

In fact, not only them, but even Lu Yuan himself was confused.

Lu Yuan was inexplicably asked to leave his seat and then assigned here; he had no idea what kind of seat this was.

Just as I was wondering, I saw Shen Qingqiu, who had changed her clothes, walk gracefully over, greeting the passing guests with impeccable manners, and then sitting down at another table not far away.

Could it be that Shen Qingqiu arranged for him to sit closer to Shen Qingqiu on purpose?

Lu Yuan was secretly pleased, but then frowned.

Because of Shen Humeng, Shen Qingqiu had always been cold to him, so why would she deliberately arrange things like this today?

"never mind."

Women's hearts are like needles at the bottom of the sea; they're truly unfathomable. Lu Yuan simply stopped racking his brains over it.

It's just a banquet; it doesn't matter where you sit.

In fact, if Lu Yuan stood up and walked a little further away, he could clearly see that the table he was at, as well as the other three tables next to it, although they looked no different from those of ordinary guests, were actually clearly separated in terms of their positions.

Lu Yuan waited patiently for the Shen family's banquet to begin, and as time passed, guests gradually entered the venue.

Basically, the regular guests arrived first, and once they were all seated, the VIPs arrived. By around 10 a.m., the entire banquet hall was almost full.

Besides the main table, only the two tables next to Lu Yuan and Shen Qingqiu were still empty.

Just as Lu Yuan was wondering if these two tables were empty, two more groups of people entered.

Unlike the other guests, these two groups included men, women, and children, and they greeted the other guests warmly as they walked.

The fact that many guests stood up shows the social status of these two groups.

Soon, Lu Yuan spotted Shen Fengxing's figure and instantly realized that these two groups must be members of the second and third branches of the Shen family.

I have to say, there were quite a lot of people.

Besides the head of the household, there was an old lady in each household, then Shen Fengxing's brothers and sisters of the same generation, three or four in each household, plus their spouses, grandchildren, and even two great-grandchildren being held, making about twenty people in each household!

Then, under Lu Yuan's gaze, the two families walked straight toward him. The eldest son of each family came out and bowed slightly to Shen Qiubing, who was sitting there, to show respect to the eldest son.

Just as Lu Yuan was hesitating about whether to stand up as well, they sat down at the two tables next to them without even glancing at Lu Yuan.

Since that's the case, Lu Yuan simply sat there quietly. After all, he had no relationship with the second and third branches of the Shen family, and they were even enemies, so there was no need for him to flatter or fawn over them.

"what?"

As Lu Yuan continued eating sunflower seeds, he suddenly realized that Shen Humeng was nowhere to be seen.

Today is Shen Fuyue's 108th birthday, and Shen Humeng, as his daughter, should be attending.

When we last met, Shen Humeng was already pregnant, but judging by the time, she should have given birth much earlier.

Look at the second and third branches of the Shen family; aren't they also holding babies in swaddling clothes?

"Mr. Shen!"

"Master Shen!"

"Hero Shen!"

"Elder!"

Just as they were wondering what was going on, a commotion suddenly broke out in the hall, and the guests all stood up.

Shen Qingqiu, along with the second and third branches of the Shen family, also rose gracefully and turned towards the entrance.

Lu Yuan also stood up, and saw a group of people walk straight in. In the middle was an old man with white hair and a majestic figure, who was Shen Fuyue.

Shen Fuyue greeted the guests, and after a moment, the group arrived at the main table, politely declined, and took their seats.

Everyone's here.
