Chapter 164: Improper Praise

Duan Si was already dissatisfied. She wanted to invite Shen Su and Yu Ling today. The others were just accompanying guests. Although Shen Bai and his sister could make her proud, they were not the people she wanted to invite.
She could not let them snatch Mu En and Shen Su’s home ground status.
Hence, she suppressed her anger and said, “It’s almost time. Why don’t we eat on the lawn outside? Song Nan arranged it today. Song Nan, come and entertain the Eldest Young Master of the Shen Family!
Song Nan was stunned for a moment and felt a little uncomfortable.
Bei Le seized the opportunity and smiled. “Everyone, this way please.”
Shen Yu seized the opportunity and walked to Bei Shuo’s side. She whispered, “Bei Le is your younger sister. Even if you don’t like her, you have to protect her. Otherwise, you’ll be laughed at by outsiders! You should know now that after a woman gets married, her maternal family will be her face! If Bei Le marries well, you’ll be in the limelight too, right?”
Bei Shuo frowned. “How do you want me to protect her? With Bei Le’s ability, do you still need me to protect her?”
Hearing that, Shen Yu deliberately slowed down. “As her older sister, you have to think about your younger sister and your maternal family! Look at your mother-in-law. She wants to send Song Nan to a high branch. If Song Nan can marry into the Shen Family, won’t that be the icing on the cake? She was raised by your mother-in-law. Of course, your mother-in-law will benefit the most!’
Bei Shuo was a little speechless. She couldn’t help but admire Shen Yu’s calmness in suppressing the past silently and pretending that nothing had happened.
Shen Yu lowered her voice even more. “If the two of you can marry into the Mu Family, won’t you be better than others if you take care of each other in the future? The Shen Family is not related to you by blood. What’s the use of you being close to Shen Su? How can you be so undiscriminating?”
Bei Shuo looked at Shen Yu in shock. “Shen Su and Mu En have already confirmed their relationship!”
Shen Yu glared at her reproachfully. “So what? Isn’t it normal for young people to fall in love on and off? Our Bei Le is much prettier than Miss Shen!’
Bei Shuo didn’t want to talk to Shen Yu anymore, so she could only remain silent.
On the spacious lawn, the servants filled the display table with the prepared food. After everyone took the food, they gathered at the long table to eat and chat.
Mu En pulled Shen Su to sit beside him, and Bei Le chose to sit opposite Mu En.
By the time Bei Shuo saw them, everyone had already chosen their food and taken their seats.
She was arranged to sit between Mu Ci and Luo Bing. Chen Hai was opposite her, and Song Nan was opposite Luo Bing.
Duan Si said, “Song Nan arranged these dishes today. Try them and see if they suit your taste.”
Yu Ling said first, ‘Miss Song Nan is not only beautiful, but also gentle and meticulous. She’s really a beauty. Madam Mu, you’re so lucky.”
Duan Si was full of glory. “Even our Old Master praises our Song Nan so much. She’s been sensible since she was young.”
She glanced at Luo Bing. Luo Bing was expressionless as he pushed a plate of desserts to Bei Shuo.
Duan Si’s face turned cold.
Bei Le said softly, “Director Luo, my sister already has Brother-in-law to take care of her. You should really give this to Sister Song Nan. She has worked hard today. Why don’t you thank her on our behalf?”
Everyone was stunned. Only Duan Si revealed a happy expression and looked at Bei Le in admiration.
Bei Le responded with a knowing smile. Before Luo Bing could react, she had already reached out and placed the snacks in front of Song Nan. “Sister Song Nan, thank you for your hard work!’
Song Nan looked at Luo Bing apologetically. “Thank you, Director Luo!”
Luo Bing endured it and did not say anything. He picked up the cup and took a sip of water.
Bei Shuo couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Didn’t they say that they were going to enhance Mu En and Shen Suls relationship today? Why were Luo Bing and Song Nan being pushed to each other now?
It was too messy.
Mu Ci quietly held her hand and glanced at her.
Bei Shuo sighed.
Shen Su took a bite of the snack and handed the plate in her hand to Luo Bing.
She praised, “Mmm, it’s really delicious. Big Brother, try it and see if it suits
Grandpa and Grandma’s taste. If it’s nice, we’ll poach their pastry chef!”
Luo Bing’s expression softened. He took the snacks from Shen Su and said calmly, “Go ahead and poach him if you think it’s good..”
