After Catching The Rich And Old-Fashioned Daddy Chapter 10
byChapter 10 Wet
Bury Daddy’s chest muscles
The launch of Shaw Group’s new ship arrived as scheduled, and the scene was grand and grand, far beyond Li Chu’s imagination.
The ceremony was held at a pier owned by the Shaw family in the New Territories.
There were countless celebrities and VIPs on site, all well-dressed and handsome, and almost all the media in Hong Kong Island gathered here just to make a hot headline.
Li Chu wore an extremely fitting ivory white dress with a gemstone brooch on the chest.The dress perfectly contoured his figure and made his skin as white as jade.
Inquiring glances were cast from all directions, and low voices of discussion could be faintly heard:
“Is that the young master that the Shao family has just recognized? He seems to have a good temperament. Mrs. Shao personally takes him with her and loves him very much.”
“More than just pampering, the old lady chose him for today’s bottle throwing ceremony despite all the opinions!”
“Are you serious? Let the young master throw the bottle? This…isn’t it against the old rules?”
The bottle-throwing ceremony of launching a new ship is an iconic ceremony in maritime culture. Usually, a high-status and well-respected woman serves as the “godmother” and smashes champagne on the bow of the ship.
In previous years, the important women of the Shao family played this role. Even if the old lady is old, there are still several beautiful daughters in the second room of the Shao family.
“The old lady of the Shao family spoke in person, what else is there to do about it? It’s clear that she wants to boost her grandson’s reputation and rectify his reputation!”
“It seems that the Shao family attaches great importance to this lost bloodline. What a blessing…”
Li Chu stood obediently by the ceremony stage, resisting the urge to yawn, with tears in his eyes.
Shao Tingyue’s eyebrows were stern and he glanced at Li Chu casually.
The young man’s broken hair was carefully combed up, revealing a full forehead, a straight and delicate nose, and a very light small mole on the tip of his nose.
The lips… are very light pink, with a soft and elastic lip bead in the middle.
Li Chu noticed that Shao Ting was looking at him more and more, blinked in confusion, and asked with his mouth: Second uncle, what’s wrong?Is there something on my face?
Shao Tingyue’s majestic expression did not change, and his slender fingers gently adjusted the brooch on Li Chu’s lapel. The sapphire-encrusted butterfly was lifelike, as if it would flutter its wings in the next second.
“The brooch is crooked.”
Li Chu looked down and saw that the butterfly had been straightened, so he smiled gratefully at Shao Tingyue.
Everyone was shocked again and put away their interest in teasing. It seemed that not only Mrs. Shao loved him, but the Ship King also valued this young master very much and could not offend him casually.
The ceremony was carried out according to the procedures, with lion dance to warm up the scene and colorful cannons to the sky.
After Shao Tingyue made a brief speech as the representative of the group, he entered the highlight of the launching ceremony.
Shaw’s newly launched freighter is astonishing in size, nearly 400 meters tall, and as majestic as a mountain.There was a strong wind on the pier, making the flags and ladies’ skirts rustle.
Considering safety and effectiveness, the giant champagne was steadily lifted by an exquisite pulley mechanism and hung in front of the bow.Li Chu doesn’t need to throw hard, he just needs to use special golden scissors to cut the rope connecting the champagne.
Even so, Li Chu was still a little nervous facing the crowd of guests and reporters around him.
Shao Mingzhu wore a bright yellow dress today, which made her look gorgeous and charming.Her curly hair was neatly tied up, and she wore a set of noble Australian white pearl necklaces around her neck.
Next to her were two little girls, Shao Baozhu and Shao Zhenzhu. The little girls were wearing pink dresses and their hair was styled in cute buns.The three sisters all looked at Li Chu with smiles, and Shao Mingzhu even winked at him and made a cheering gesture.
Mrs. Shao patted the back of his hand and said, “Don’t be nervous, young boy. I’ll ask the Queen of Heaven for you when you go out in the morning, and she promises to bless you with everything going well.”
Li Chu nodded, took a deep breath to force himself to calm down, and took the scissors handed over by the hostess. They were tied with bright red silk, which looked very festive.
Under the guidance of the master of ceremonies, Li Chu walked to the designated position. In front of him was the bow of a brand new giant freighter.
The sea breeze blew the broken hair on his forehead, and the audience was surrounded by a dark crowd and flashing cameras.
By some mistake, Li Chu turned his head against the sea breeze. Shao Tingyue raised his eyelids and looked over. His eyes met his eyes, and his heart stopped for half a beat at this sight.
“Bang!”
There was a crisp crackling sound, and the champagne liquid bloomed on the steel plate of the bow.
At the same time, the giant ship’s whistle blew, ribbons flew, applause and cheers sounded——
Done!
Li Chu stood there, still unable to recover, and his back was slightly soaked with cold sweat.
…
The celebration dinner after the ceremony was held in the banquet hall of the Regent Hotel, a newly opened luxury hotel on Hong Kong Island. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows were designed to overlook the entire night view of Victoria Harbor.
Mrs. Shao was feeling unwell, so in order not to spoil the fun, she returned to the Shao Mansion early.
Shao Tingyue changed his attire, and wore a simple black gold family seal ring on his index finger holding the wine glass. The light flowed, low-key demonstrating his identity and authority.
Surrounded by the compliments and adulations of many politicians and businessmen, he looked calm.Occasionally, he responded briefly and his attitude was distant and reserved, but no one dared to be even remotely negligent.
There are many elders and relatives of the clan present tonight.
The second brother, Shao Qixin, Shao Mingzhu’s father, has rarely been involved in core family affairs in recent years, but he is still present on such important occasions.
“Chu Zai looks really good, well-behaved and sensible.” Shao Liyan looked at Li Chu not far away and pointedly said: “It’s just a matter of recognizing relatives. Our Shao family is not an ordinary family, and our bloodline cannot be confused.”
“Second uncle, you have taken the trouble. The old man has been looking forward to it for twenty years, and he will not be wrong. As for the other people, I have my own sense of discretion. There will be no less people who need to be investigated and certified.”
Shao Tingyue raised his eyes and said in a calm tone: “Now that you have recognized me, I will deal with the gossip outside. I don’t worry about the second uncle and all the uncles and elders.”
Shao Qixin was a little embarrassed by what he said, and he laughed twice: “Of course we can rest assured that you are doing things. Just a reminder, after all, it is about the inheritance of the family bloodline. Since you know it in your heart, that’s the best.”
He said no more, raised his glass, turned and walked away.The other spectators immediately changed the subject, as if nothing had happened.
Li Chu got up early today and stood at the dock for most of the day. He was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back.
People around were toasting and chatting, and Shao Tingyue had no time to care about him, so he quietly moved to the buffet, took some exquisite snacks and ate them.
As expected, it is produced by a big hotel, the dim sum is particularly exquisite, and there are also a variety of hot and cold dishes, a dazzling array.
Li Chu also took a fancy to the cheese-baked Australian dragon, which was of excellent quality and was as big as his calf!There are also top-quality abalone sashimi and steamed dongshengban.
“Chu Zai! So you are hiding here!”
Just after taking two bites of the cake, Li Chu was patted on the shoulder by Shao Mingzhu, which made him choke.
Shao Mingzhu shook the champagne glass in her hand and smiled brightly: “Let’s go, I’ll take you to meet some friends. You are a great hero today, how can you eat alone!”
Before Li Chu could refuse, Shao Mingzhu enthusiastically pulled him to the swimming pool terrace outside the banquet hall.The evening breeze blew through the sparkling water, and the night was bright in the distance.
The guests at the banquet were divided into several groups. The senior men drank wine and talked business, while the ladies discussed beauty and jewelry, or went to the box to promote cards.Young people gather here by the swimming pool, the atmosphere is lively and the music is lively.
“Mingzhu, is this the one who threw the bottle today? That’s awesome!”
“Young Master Junior, congratulations! You stole the show today! I must give you a toast!”
When Li Chu jumped across the sea and traveled to this era, he received a lot of looks and bullying. For the first time, he was surrounded by stars and flattered him like a moon, and he was really not used to it.
A crystal wine glass was stuffed in his hand. Li Chu turned his head and saw James, who accompanied them to the ballroom last time. He was wearing a formal suit and had a much calmer temperament.
“You look very good today,” James said in a gentle voice with a hint of a smile, “The brooch matches you very well.”
“Thank you.” Li Chu took a sip of the wine, and dense champagne bubbles exploded in his mouth. It was sweet and delicious.
James clinked glasses with him, his eyes falling on Li Chu’s slightly drooped eyelashes: “Don’t be nervous, it’s always been like this in this circle, don’t worry about the truth or the lies.”
Li Chu raised his eyes and looked at him, thinking that this man’s thoughts were quite clear, but he always leaned too close to him when talking, and the smell of perfume on his body was a bit strong.
James stared into his eyes and swung the wine glass, “For some reason, I always feel like I’ve seen you before somewhere. Is this the legendary feeling of falling in love at first sight?”
Li Chu’s heart skipped a beat, and he took a sip of champagne and said vaguely, “Really? Maybe I’m just a public face.”
James disagreed: “I have never seen a boy as handsome as you.”
Li Chu didn’t know what to say, so he pursed his lips and smiled: “…Really?”
Shao Mingzhu came back after a round of drinking. Seeing that the wine in his glass was barely touched, she immediately put her hands on her hips and said, “Chu Zai, are you raising fish? Our Shao family members are all very drinkers, and you are too disrespectful to your cousin!”
James laughed out loud when he heard this and teased: “Didn’t you ask Chu Tsai to call you Sister Mingzhu?”
Shao Mingzhu raised her eyelashes and smiled sweetly: “I don’t care, anyway, Chu Tsai wants to have a lot of fun with me tonight!”
Someone in the distance called James’ name loudly, and he raised his glass to signal, but he didn’t leave in a hurry.
At Shao Mingzhu’s instigation, several people started playing poker by the swimming pool, and the loser would be punished with a drink.
Li Chu didn’t understand the rules of this card table, so he drank several drinks without knowing it.Soon a blush appeared on his face, his eyes were blurred, and his reactions became sluggish.
“Oops, Chu Zai, you lost again! This time the punishment will be doubled!”
“Let me help him get a drink. He looks a little drunk. It won’t be good if he vomits later.” James’ voice came, and the people next to him started to cheer.
“Chu Zai, your ability to drink is too bad…” Shao Mingzhu’s voice seemed to be far away.
Li Chu really couldn’t drink anymore. He rubbed his forehead and told Shao Mingzhu that he wanted to go to the bathroom and wash his face.
“Go ahead, do you want to ask James to accompany you?”
Li Chu waved his hand, stood up with some staggering steps, and walked around the walkway by the swimming pool.
The water in the pool glowed with little bits of light under the lights, and the waiters carrying trays shuttled through it.
The young people were playing around, and some were playing and chasing each other with water guns. Li Chu, who was by the pool, couldn’t avoid it and was accidentally knocked down.
With a “pop” sound, the swimming pool splashed with huge water——
…
Through a glass curtain wall, the noise and the loud sound of falling water came from the swimming pool, which made Shao Tingyue stop talking and look with a frown.
An older guest next to him also heard the commotion, glanced towards the swimming pool, shook his head and said with a smile: “The younger generation (this group of young people) are really lacking in sense of propriety when it comes to playing. But it’s no wonder, they are full of energy and have a lot of money in the world. If you take over the family business in the future, you must take good care of yourself and cultivate your character!”
“Dr. Chen is so humble. Who doesn’t know that you are a good teacher? James is already very popular among the younger generation.”
The people around him took the opportunity to flatter and compliment him.
Director Chen smiled proudly. Seeing that Shao Tingyue had no expression, he could only restrain his expression: “Of course I am not as good as the young master of the Shao family. He is also a handsome and elegant boy. I wonder which daughter of Hong Kong Island will be worthy of him in the future?”
His words were meant as casual flattery, trying to shift the focus. However, as soon as the words came out, the expressions of several people next to him subtly paused.
The real head of Shaw Brothers in front of him is already thirty this year. He is top-notch in appearance and ability but is still unmarried. He does not even have a public female companion. He has been sitting on the top spot of the “Diamond King” in Hong Kong gossip newspapers for many years.
There were countless ladies from various well-known families and wealthy businessmen’s daughters who showed their favor, but no one could really catch the eyes of Second Young Master Shao.
There are various rumors in the market, some say that he has extremely high vision.
Some say that he is interested in a career, and there are even some secret rumors… In short, it is really embarrassing to bring up topics like “marriage” and “daughter” in front of him.
The atmosphere was a little stagnant for a while. Dong Chen laughed twice and was about to add a few more words.
Shao Tingyue scanned around lightly, but did not find Li Chu’s figure, and his handsome eyebrows furrowed.He probably didn’t hear a word of what Director Chen said next.
“Excuse me.” Shao Tingyue finished speaking and left without waiting for anyone’s reaction.
…
Li Chu fell into the pool, his dress was instantly soaked, and he flopped a few times.The people playing on the shore were immediately confused and quickly went into the water to fish him out.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Junior! Are you okay? We didn’t mean it!” The people around him didn’t want to have any more fun, so they quickly gathered around.
Li Chu’s wet black hair stuck to his forehead. He leaned against the pool and coughed lightly, water droplets falling continuously from his eyelashes.
Shao Mingzhu was so frightened that she sobered up a little. She asked someone to bring her a bath towel and asked with concern: “Chu Zai, are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?”
After saying that, he looked around nervously. Fortunately, the second black-faced Rakshasa brother at home was not there.
“I’m fine…” Li Chu shook his head and wiped his face and hair with a towel. The cold water made his head feel heavy and his cheeks turned redder.
James couldn’t help but darken his eyes when he saw that Li Chu was soaked and the lining was close to his skin, revealing his fair skin color and waistline underneath.
“Mingzhu, why don’t you let Chu Tsai change clothes first? Be careful of catching a cold.”
“Yes, yes, if Chuzi catches a cold and has a fever later, the second brother will have to settle the score with me!” Shao Mingzhu was also a little panicked. She felt that James’ suggestion was reasonable, so she quickly asked the waiter to take Li Chu to the dressing room.
Li Chu nodded blankly, steadied his body and followed the waiter through the corridor. His soaked clothes felt uncomfortable against his skin, and his hair was still dripping.
As soon as he walked around the entrance, the dizzy Li Chu ran into a solid “wall”.He slowly raised his head and met a pair of deep and calm black eyes.
He looked at Shao Tingyue in confusion, as if he hadn’t realized who was in front of him. The warm yellow light reflected on the man’s angular face, flickering brightly.
“Have you had enough fun?” Shao Tingyue’s voice was low and his emotions could not be heard, and his eyes fell on Li Chu’s face.
A few small drops of water fell from Li Chu’s eyelashes, and he recognized who the other party was, “…Second Uncle.”
His cheeks were flushed, his eyes were misty, and a small piece of collarbone and wet skin was exposed from his collar.
“You are the first one to drink in the swimming pool.” Shao Tingyue’s eyes were deep and his tone was cold.
Li Chu was usually very obedient when facing men, but now his brain was shut down and he could only admit his mistake: “I’m sorry…Second uncle…can you please don’t punish me for copying the family rules…”
The young man’s water-colored eyes were not focused, and he apologized while rubbing the hem of his clothes.He was really afraid of copying books, and the traditional Chinese characters made his life hopeless.
Shao Ting took a deep breath and looked at the waiter to indicate that he could leave.
“Go back with me.”
Li Chu responded obediently and rubbed his hazy and wet drunken eyes. He felt that the tall figure in front of him had a reassuring and familiar aura.
As the evening breeze blew, the heat brought by the alcohol battled in his body, causing him to shiver. He frowned and whispered, “My head hurts.”
His body became weak and he subconsciously leaned forward.
The wet head was pressed against the man’s chest, and the faint aroma mixed with the smell of alcohol lingered.
The body temperature was transmitted through the thin shirt, and Li Chu buried himself comfortably and rubbed it.
Shao Tingyue suddenly paused and his expression froze.
