The two entered the villa. Everyone was looking at them, which made Song Ge quite embarrassed. Zhai Cheng also noticed Song Ge's uneasiness and said, "It's okay. These are all my mother's good friends. There are no outsiders at this banquet. There's nothing to be shy about." After saying that, Zhai Cheng took Song Ge's hand and walked inside.
"Hello, uncles. Thank you all for coming," Zhai Cheng greeted everyone politely.
"Good. And who is this?" one of them asked.
"Let me introduce her. This is Song Ge. These uncles are all my mother's most valued friends and prominent figures in business," Zhai Cheng introduced.
"Hello, uncles," Song Ge said. After hearing Zhai Cheng's introduction, she didn't know what else to say, so she just followed Zhai Cheng's lead. Although Song Ge was a bit nervous, she didn't want to be impolite.
Seeing Song Ge greet them, everyone replied with a simple "Good."
"Zhai Cheng is really becoming more and more handsome, and his ability to manage the company is also gradually improving," one of them said.
"Yes, yes. We've watched Zhai Cheng grow up. He's really becoming more and more outstanding," another one added.
These people had truly watched Zhai Cheng grow up, so they didn't say anything perfunctory. Their words were from the bottom of their hearts.
Zhai Cheng replied, "Thank you all uncles for your praise. I'll definitely invite you all when I hold my wedding banquet." Song Ge stood beside Zhai Cheng, saying nothing.
After chatting with the uncles for a while, Zhai Cheng said, "Today is my mother's birthday banquet. I'll take Song Ge to see my mother first. You uncles can chat first."
After saying that, Zhai Cheng took Song Ge and walked towards the study.
After Bai Cheng left, the old guys in the banquet hall were all discussing the identity of Song Ge beside Zhai Cheng.
"Do you think she could be his girlfriend? I've never seen any girl beside Zhai Cheng in all these years," one of them said.
After hearing this, everyone thought it was possible, so they decided to ask Zhai Cheng about it during the meal.
When they arrived in front of the study, Song Ge knocked on the door. "Who is it?" Mrs. Zhai asked.
"It's me, Song Ge," Song Ge replied.
"Come in quickly!"
Zhai Cheng and Song Ge entered the study. Song Ge took out the gift she had prepared for Mrs. Zhai.
"May mother be blessed with boundless happiness and a long life," Song Ge said.
"You didn't have to bring a gift. Just coming is enough," Mrs. Zhai said. Mrs. Zhai was really happy that Song Ge had come. She was very happy to see her son and daughter - in - law living happily together. She thought this was the best birthday gift. She had been a bit worried when she heard that Song Ge and Zhai Cheng had quarreled. She was really afraid of losing this daughter - in - law she liked. Now it seemed that she had been worrying for nothing.
"Okay, the guests are waiting outside. Let's go out," Mrs. Zhai said. After all, it wasn't good to keep them waiting.
Mrs. Zhai led Zhai Cheng and Song Ge to the banquet hall. "Thank you all for coming to my birthday banquet. We've been friends and partners for many years, so I won't say any polite words," Mrs. Zhai said.
After saying that, Mrs. Zhai asked the servants to serve the dishes.
Song Ge sat beside Zhai Cheng. Zhai Cheng would occasionally pick up some food for Song Ge. This scene made the old guys even more curious about their relationship, but they were too embarrassed to ask directly.
During the meal, everyone raised their glasses and drank together.
Suddenly, someone asked Zhai Cheng, "Nephew, you haven't told me what your relationship with this girl beside you is. You should introduce her to us!" There was a bit of teasing in his words, but anyone with a discerning eye could guess their relationship.
This sudden question caught Zhai Cheng off guard, and Song Ge was extremely embarrassed.
Zhai Cheng glanced at Song Ge, as if asking for her opinion. Song Ge was already very embarrassed, and when Zhai Cheng glanced at her, she lowered her head.
Zhai Cheng thought Song Ge had given her consent and told everyone, "Let me formally introduce to you all. This is my fiancée, Song Ge."
As soon as he said this, everyone was in an uproar.
"When did you get engaged? Why didn't you tell us?" one of the people who had a good relationship with the Zhai family asked.
"It's not that I didn't want to tell you uncles. But the engagement was held in a small - scale way in the middle of the night," Zhai Cheng explained. In fact, it was just because they were in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare. To avoid trouble, they didn't tell many people.
Some people who were good friends with Meng Yajing said to Zhai Cheng, "Your fiancée is really delicate and pretty. You two look like a perfect match standing together."
"You two are already engaged. When are you going to get married?"
These people had a long - standing friendship with Meng Yajing, so they didn't say anything to perfunctorily agree. Their words were sincere, and their blessings for Zhai Cheng were also heartfelt.
"Thank you all uncles for your blessings," Zhai Cheng said.
"You must invite us when you hold your wedding," they said.
These people had watched Zhai Cheng grow up. Now that he had a wife - to - be, they were naturally happy for him.
"Sure, I'll definitely invite you all to my wedding," Zhai Cheng said. He wasn't good at chatting, so he didn't know what else to say.
Song Ge didn't know what to say either. She was already very nervous. Fortunately, she could just sit quietly beside Zhai Cheng.
"Uncles, today is my mother's birthday. We should focus on my mother," Zhai Cheng's words brought everyone back to the main topic.
"Many years have passed, my friend. Now you can be said to be living a happy and fulfilling life. I'll toast you," one of the guests said.
"Good, good. I'm really satisfied and fond of this daughter - in - law," Meng Yajing said. This was true. She really liked and doted on Song Ge.
Everyone chatted and laughed. Gradually, Song Ge wasn't so nervous anymore. Zhai Cheng took good care of Song Ge. He always picked up food for her and would occasionally hold her hand to give her confidence.
Seeing her son and daughter - in - law so in love, Meng Yajing felt relieved. She was very happy during this meal.
"I'm tired. I won't accompany you all anymore. Zhai Cheng will accompany you all to finish this meal," Meng Yajing knew it was impolite to leave the table early, but since the guests were all her good friends, it didn't matter. After saying that, Meng Yajing went back to the study.
Song Ge was a bit worried when she saw Meng Yajing go back to the study alone. She said to Zhai Cheng, "I'll go and see aunt first, accompany mother and have a chat. I'll go up first." Song Ge was worried about Mrs. Zhai, and also found it boring sitting at the dinner table.
After saying that, Song Ge left the dinner table and went to the study.
"Aunt, can I come in?"
