A charming widow in her 70s married a factory manager and raised his children.

"From Yue?"

Ren Zhen raised her voice and called out again, and Lu Congyue finally snapped out of his daze, smiling and nodding: "Qingxiang looks good in anything."

Zhuang Qingxiang blushed and glared at him reproachfully.

Ren Zhen laughed and said, "Alright, alright, your wife looks good no matter how you look at her, okay?"

After saying that, he called Lu Congyue over quickly and introduced them to the guests who came tonight, showing that he valued them.

Shang Jianjun was also very happy to introduce Lu Congyue to his old comrades and colleagues.

Two of them had met Lu Congyue before and knew that he was Lu Sheng's son, but the father and son did not have a good relationship.

Everyone wisely refrained from mentioning Lu Sheng.

The news of Lu Sheng's retirement had already spread. It was said that after completing the formalities, he left Beijing with his wife and children and went to the south.

But the eldest son showed up here with his wife and child, which shows how bad the relationship between the father and son is.

After Shang Jianjun introduced Lu Congyue again, everyone knew that Lu Congyue had made a name for himself, was capable, and had a bright future. Everyone was happy that he had this drive and became even more enthusiastic about him.

In the living room, everyone chatted happily.

In the room on the second floor, Shang Hua, her cheeks flushed, blocked Peng Wanzhou from getting closer.

"Stop fooling around, or you'll start sweating."

It was already hot, and Peng Wanzhou was like a furnace; his presence made it unbearably hot for anyone who came near him.

But as soon as he came in, his eyes lit up when he saw her, and he kept moving closer to her.

"Sister, I want to carry you home." Peng Wanzhou's eyes were burning with desire.

The first time I saw Shang Hua, so dashing and capable, wearing a long dress that revealed her collarbone and arms, she looked like a completely different person. She was mature yet charming, and it was impossible to look away.

Every time he called her "sister," it meant he wanted to do something.

Shang Hua slapped him on the shoulder: "Don't talk nonsense! Let me show you what I look like dressed like this when I'm toasting someone. Do you think it's appropriate? Does it look good?"

"Beautiful!" Peng Wanzhou said decisively, "Extremely beautiful!"

Shang Hua glared at him: "Don't lie to me, don't you think it looks weird on me?"

Peng Wanzhou shook his head firmly: "I'm not lying to you, it's not weird at all, it's very beautiful!"

Peng Wanzhou didn't understand why she was so insecure.

She has a slender figure and looks so good in a dress, how could it be strange?

"However..." he paused, "you should wear less clothing when you're outside in the future."

Shang Hua's smile vanished instantly: "So it still looks weird, not good-looking, right?"

Peng Wanzhou smiled wryly, grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him, saying in a hoarse voice, "It's not that she's not pretty, it's that she's too pretty, I can't help it... I'll embarrass myself."

Shang Hua lowered her head, her face instantly turning bright red, and stammered, "You... how could you do this? How are you going to go down and offer toasts like this?"

"I don't know either." Peng Wanzhou was also distressed. "I was never like this before. It only started after I got together with you."

The two men looked at each other in bewilderment.

The guests below are waiting for them to entertain them.

But Peng Wanzhou is in such a state that he cannot go downstairs to see anyone.

"Do you want... me to help you?" Shang Hua asked, blushing.

Peng Wanzhou's eyes lit up, then dimmed again. He shook his head and said, "Never mind, you go down first, I'll come back by myself after a while."

"What? You're already complaining?"

"I'm afraid it won't be enough time," Peng Wanzhou said helplessly. "How can I be that fast with you..."

"Alright, stop talking." Shang Hua couldn't stand it anymore and quickly called out, "Then I'll go downstairs first, you, you come down quickly."

He ran out of the house, his face flushed, paused at the bottom of the stairs, fanned himself for a while, and then walked down the stairs with a normal expression.

Seeing her come downstairs, Ren Zhen invited everyone to sit down in the restaurant and asked where Peng Wanzhou had gone.

Shang Hua calmly replied, "I need his help. He'll be down right away."

Ren Zhen immediately scolded her for being inconsiderate. Today is a wonderful day for her wedding, and all the guests are here. What is the groom busy with?

"Mom, he'll be down soon, so don't worry about him. Please have a seat," Shang Hua said with a smile.

His gaze swept over unintentionally and met Zhuang Qingxiang's smiling face, as if he had seen through her lie.

Shang Hua's face flushed, and he glared at her.

Zhuang Qingxiang smiled, looked away, and spoke to Xiao Luyue, instructing her to keep an eye on her two younger brothers and prevent them from running around.

Shang Hua secretly glanced at the stairs, hoping Peng Wanzhou would come downstairs soon.

Fortunately, Peng Wanzhou didn't keep her waiting long and soon came downstairs to help her greet the guests and offer toasts.

During the meal, some people mentioned that scoundrel Ge Jiangtao and praised Shang Hua for getting a good divorce.

Moreover, Ge Jiangtao has already been sent to the Public Security Bureau today. The military is not afraid of airing their dirty laundry in public, as long as the scumbag is punished.

"Someone like him shouldn't stay in the military!" someone said indignantly.

"That's right, it's absolutely ruining the reputation of our unit!"

Everyone is indignant when Ge Jiangtao is mentioned, especially one person who once wanted to marry his niece to him.

Luckily, Ge Jiangtao didn't agree, otherwise it would have been incredibly embarrassing.

"Alright, let's not talk about him anymore, so as not to spoil everyone's mood." Shang Jianjun smiled and ended the topic.

Tonight is my daughter's wedding banquet. Wouldn't mentioning that beast make her uncomfortable?

"Yes, yes, let's not talk about him," someone laughed. "Old Shang, Xiao Peng is an honest and reliable comrade. Your Xiao Hua chose him, so things will definitely get better and better for her in the future!"

As they talked, the topic shifted to Shang Jiang.

He was the only single man left among those present, so everyone was naturally concerned about his marriage.

"I'm not thinking about getting married yet," Shang Jiang said with a smile.

Lu Congyue raised an eyebrow.

He had a feeling that something was off about Shang Jiang tonight.

It's too quiet.

In the past, Shang Jiang would always be the one to liven up the atmosphere on occasions like this, but today he was like a mute, and would often drift off into his own thoughts.

It seems like something's on your mind!

While the elders were chatting, he turned his head and whispered, "General Shang, you're not thinking about Miss Yunyun, are you?"

Shang Jiang snapped back to reality and instinctively retorted, "Don't talk nonsense! I've already said that Yunyun and I don't have that kind of relationship!"

Unexpectedly, the sound was a bit loud, and everyone's eyes turned to look at him.

Ren Zhen asked with even greater curiosity, "Yunyun? Who is that?"

Shang Hua asked in surprise, "General Shang, you're dating someone?"

An elder joined in the merriment, saying, "Old Shang, that's wonderful! Both your daughter and son can find husbands. That's double happiness!"

Shang Jianjun glanced at his son, whose face was flushed, and said sternly, "Since you're dating, bring him home to meet us. What are you hiding?"

"No!" Shang Jiang exclaimed, his face flushed red. "She's not my girlfriend."

"You haven't caught up yet?" Shang Hua sighed. "I understand. Then work hard and stop being so foolish."

"Whose girl is so hard to win over? Our Shanghua is handsome and has impeccable character. What a great young man! And you still don't like him?"

Faced with his old friend's teasing, Shang Jianjun calmly replied, "My son is a bit clueless in this regard, otherwise he wouldn't have been delayed until now... Never mind, let's not worry about it, he won't be happy if we talk about it too much."
