Quick Transmigration: My First Female Skill Takes Effect
Chapter 69 True and False Jinwen, No. 1 Woman, 13
The child's words were naive, but what was remarkable was their clear logic.
As the future head of the Shen family, Shen Qi delivered the speech with unwavering confidence, her spirits soaring like a tiger just emerging from the mountains.
Fearless.
Fu Wenxin and Shen Zhengshan immediately applauded. They stood up and walked towards the stage, first greeting the guests, and then each taking one of Shen Qi's hands.
Bring her back.
The host on stage continued with the program, starting by playing photos of Shencheng from childhood to adulthood.
Fu Wenxin and Shen Zhengshan were praising Shen Qi in the audience.
"Aqi is really amazing, so brave, just like me." Shen Zhengshan watched as his daughter didn't stumble at all. The several times he had planned to save the day hadn't been needed, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a smile.
Fu Wenxin retorted, "Aqi's composure and intelligence are just like mine. My mom often says that I'm a person with inner beauty."
Sitting next to her, He Bai was puzzled: "..."
When did she say that?
Both husband and wife felt that their daughter's strengths were related to them. Shen Qi, holding both hands, concluded directly: without her mother and father, she wouldn't be as outstanding as they are.
Before Shen Zhengshan could speak, Old Master Shen suddenly coughed, glanced at him, and gave him a look that said, "Don't speak, just listen."
The host on stage was very professional. She smiled and looked at Shen Zhengshan, who had just finished speaking in the first row, and invited him to come up on stage, and then invited Fu Wenxin to come up on stage.
Finally, there are the grandparents and maternal grandparents.
Looking at his eldest brother, who was smiling among the elders, Shen Zhuo thought that Shen Cheng was truly generous.
His coming-of-age ceremony actually made Shen Qi the center of attention. Don't think he didn't hear the whispers behind him, especially when his gaze fell on the emerald ring that signified the head of the Shen family.
They made no attempt to hide it from the public.
Shen Zhuo once thought of a strategy of playing dumb to gain an advantage: using his age to secure a position in the company first, and then using his excellence to win over the Shen Group.
But when he saw Shen Qi, who had been trained since the age of three, he couldn't help but tremble: Could he really beat Shen Qi, who had been trained by his father and grandfather?
Shen Zhuo was not sure if he could win, after all, even Shen Cheng had retreated.
While the performance continued on stage, many people in the audience were also whispering among themselves.
Li Qian gasped. He knew Shen Zhengshan and had heard him tell the story of the ring.
He stared wide-eyed, puzzled and bewildered: "Shencheng lost to a three-year-old?"
He couldn't guess how the two were competing. Could it be a game of chance where the length of a draw determined the succession to the family business?
Zhou Gu spoke this time, but with a sarcastic tone: "It seems Shencheng is nothing special after all. The rumors outside might have been bought with his own money."
Otherwise, how could he be inferior to even a child?
Feng Miao suddenly spoke up: "Do you remember the rumors that the Shen couple loved their youngest daughter to the core?" She had a feeling something was wrong; perhaps Shen Cheng hadn't lost.
He didn't even get a chance to play.
Qu Sheng understood her words and said in a hoarse voice, "That can't be right. President Shen doesn't seem like a rash person."
Shen Zhengshan's public image is that of a calm and rule-abiding person.
Li Qian also gasped: "If that's the case, it's terrifying." He looked at the three-year-old in the front row.
He quickly shook his head, unwilling to believe that such great love existed in the world.
"No, no, I don't believe it. There's another possibility: maybe we're overthinking it. Mr. Shen just put the ring on his youngest daughter's finger; it doesn't have any special meaning."
Feng Miao raised an eyebrow: "So, letting her go on stage to speak for President Shen and Old Master Shen was also because she wanted to have fun?"
That makes even less sense.
Qu Sheng: "Don't make a fuss. We'll find out by asking Shen Cheng later. Miao Miao, you're close to him, so go ask him. I also want to know the inside story of the Shen family."
I'm really curious.
And since they've been whispering to each other for so long without their parents saying a word, they're probably curious and wondering about it themselves.
Sure enough, Qu Sheng turned his head and saw his father and mother whispering to each other, then looked at the stage and at the children in the first row.
Looking back, wow, so many people were watching the drama unfold; there were almost too many Shen family members to take in with just two eyes.
Feng Miao frowned and did not answer Qu Sheng's question, but Zhou Gu seemed to have a problem with Shen Cheng and did not want to see Feng Miao and Shen Cheng interact.
"Ah Sheng, Shen Cheng is going through a tough time right now, why are you rubbing salt in his wounds? Besides, Miao Miao is a girl and Shen Cheng is a boy, it's more appropriate for us to go and ask him."
It seems like he's speaking up for Feng Miao.
But all three of them knew that Zhou Gu disliked Shen Cheng, and it wasn't just because Feng Miaomiao had feelings for Shen Cheng.
More importantly, the Shen family is about to overthrow the Zhou family and become one of the four new major families in Shanghai.
Qu Sheng shrugged and smiled, offering no reply.
Li Qian and Feng Miao both did not answer him.
Zhou Gu found it hard to accept. They had been good friends for many years. Could it be that his good friend would cut ties with him so quickly just because his family had fallen on hard times?
Shen Qi was unaware of the grudges and feuds among the people behind her; she was playing with the ring on her hand.
After the host gave his closing remarks, the Shen family members came down from the stage, and the banquet moved from the living room to the private room.
It's time to eat.
Shen Qi was pulled by the two men and walked at the front to greet the guests. Shen Cheng stood beside her, silent and just watching people come and go.
Even though it was June, he felt incredibly cold.
Feng Miao and the other three deliberately stayed at the very back.
The Shen family members also began to head towards the private room, leaving only Shen Cheng walking slowly at the back.
Li Qian glanced at Feng Miao beside him, then turned to call out to Shen Cheng, smiling broadly: "Congratulations on coming of age."
Coming of age is a significant day for everyone.
That's a sign of growing up.
Shen Cheng maintained his smile: "Thank you."
Not a single unnecessary word is spoken.
"You're too slow, almost everyone's left. Let me take you to a private room." Shen Cheng did what a host should do.
Zhou Gu couldn't stand his attitude and asked with a mischievous glint in his eyes, "Shen Cheng, your family is quite unique. My grandfather spoke on my behalf at my coming-of-age ceremony."
"Your family is actually your sister."
