Chapter 561: Chu Family Banquet (3)

“Grandpa, I heard you! Don’t worry, I promise I won’t be so foolish anymore!”

After speaking with Gao Ruolan, Chu Lingxiu’s attention shifted to Chu Zhengwei, so naturally, she heard what he said.

In the past, words like that would have definitely upset Chu Lingxiu. But now, she was completely unfazed.

She knew her family only wanted what was best for her, so of course she could accept their good intentions. She would be sure to correct the mistakes she had made.

“That’s more like it. Now you sound like a child of the Chu Family!”

“Dad, it’s wonderful that the kids are doing well, but let’s save the praise for later. Don’t forget, we’re still at a banquet!”

“Hmm, you’re right. Let’s get down to business. Lu Cheng, Xiao Nian, come here, you two.”

Chu Zhengwei spoke as he beckoned to Lu Cheng and Shen Nian.

Shen Nian glanced at Lu Cheng. He walked to her side and gave her a reassuring nod, and then the two of them followed Chu Zhengwei toward the center of the banquet hall.

The moment Shen Nian, Lu Cheng, and the others appeared, all eyes in the room were drawn to them. When the guests saw Chu Zhengwei leading Shen Nian and Lu Cheng forward, they knew the main event of the evening was about to begin.

“Everyone, thank you all so much for attending our Chu Family’s banquet! Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since I’ve made an appearance at a banquet myself.”

Chu Zhengwei’s mood was excellent. The chronic illness that had plagued him for years was nearly healed, and he was about to introduce Lu Cheng and Shen Nian to everyone. The thought made him even happier.

Seeing Chu Zhengwei in such high spirits, the guests who were close to the Chu Family chimed in enthusiastically.

“Congratulations, Mr. Chu! This is truly a double blessing for you!”

Although they hadn’t yet managed to learn from Chu Zhengwei just who this miracle worker was that cured his chronic illness, they figured that as long as they maintained a good relationship with the Chu Family, they might get the chance to find out someday.

As for Mr. Chu’s god-grandson, with the Chu Family’s resources, as long as the young man was capable, his future would surely be bright. Perhaps he could even help the Chu Family, which had been in a bit of a decline, rise to prominence once more!

Besides, knowing Mr. Chu’s judgment, anyone he’d choose to take as a god-grandson was bound to be exceptional.

“A double blessing! Yes, yes, that’s very well put! For me, Chu Zhengwei, this truly is a double blessing! You all know why we’ve gathered for this banquet tonight. Standing beside me now are my god-grandson, Lu Cheng, and my god-granddaughter-in-law, Shen Nian. From this day forward, they are members of my Chu Family. I hope you will all look out for them in the future. Of course, you don’t have to go out of your way for them. But… if anyone dares to bully them, they’ll have to see if the Chu Family allows it!”

Chu Zhengwei had been smiling throughout the first part of his speech, but as he reached the end, his tone and expression grew increasingly solemn.

The speaker’s words were deliberate, and the listeners understood the unspoken meaning. ‘It seems those two are truly dear to Mr. Chu’s heart! Looks like we can’t afford to be dismissive of them in the future!’

‘Furthermore, the implication of Mr. Chu’s words is that someone has given them trouble before. The Chu Family is firing a warning shot!’

‘After today, if anyone still wants to cause trouble for that pair, they’ll have to think twice about whether offending the Chu Family is worth it!’
