I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 160 Choosing and Being Chosen

Old Mrs. Gu looked at the microphone in her hand, was silent for a moment, then looked at the two speakers on Jiang Huashan's waist, her eyes revealing an indistinguishable emotion.

Could it be that the Shen family knew what she was going to do and deliberately sent a child to disrupt the situation?

Jiang Huashan saw through the old lady's concerns at a glance, turned around and pointed at Xiao Lanlan who was watching the fun, "Grandma Gu, I'm here at the request of my eldest cousin from the Xiao family. We discussed this game long ago, right, eldest cousin?"

Xiao Lanlan didn't expect to be called out at this time. The corner of her mouth twitched, "I did say it, but there's no rush." After saying that, she pretended to be obedient and looked towards the stage, "Grandma Gu, your business is more important. It's okay if we play later?"

Jiang Huashan immediately doubled the volume of her speaker, "What do you mean it doesn't matter? Cousin Lanlan, you are too unprincipled. First come, first served. This is not a matter of whether it matters or not, this is a matter of principle."

"Ding--"

Another howl.

"..." Xiao Lanlan was numbed by the yelling.

It's about both quality and principles, as if you are very qualified and principled just by carrying a loudspeaker and yelling here!

Jiang Huashan walked directly onto the stage, looking at the old lady of the Gu family with a smile, "Grandma, please wait a moment. You can say whatever you want after the game is over."

The old lady of the Gu family turned her head and looked at Shen Zhuang. The Shen family didn't think that this would stop her. That was too naive.

The old lady turned her gaze back, lingered on Jiang Huashan's face for a moment, then turned around and walked off the stage.

She recognized her from the very beginning. The child in front of her was the girl who was brought out of the flower hall by Qingyu.

"Mother." Gu Cifeng quickly stood up and supported her.

The old lady of the Gu family looked straight past Shen Zhuang and sat back in her seat.

It wasn't that she had given up. Having been in charge of the household for many years, she never made decisions lightly, but once she made up her mind, she would never change it. So she was really curious about what method her grandson had come up with to stop her.

Shen E sat in the circle of rich wives with a bad look on her face, "It's embarrassing."

Shen Jiao was sitting across from her, a reserved smile on her face. "Sister, you're too old-fashioned. This is called naiveté and straightforwardness. Besides, Mrs. Gu didn't say anything, so what does it have to do with you?"

Shen E didn't expect Shen Jiao to be so disrespectful to her. Her eyes were slightly intimidating. "You are really protecting your shortcomings."

Shen Jiao, "Next time I'll give your daughter a slap and see if you can bear it."

Shen E, “…”

The ladies were stunned for a moment, pretending not to hear and continuing to chat with each other.

Seeing that the girl on the stage was not very old and had actually forced the head of the Gu family to give in, the others became interested in the game she was talking about, especially the young rich boys, who all looked very interested.

"What game are you playing? Tell me about it."

Jiang Huashan, "The game of choosing a princess."

Choose a princess?

When everyone heard it, their reaction was indifferent. It sounded very childish.

At this time, Zhang Ru led dozens of aunts in, pushing a glass flower cart. The cart frame was full of roses that had just been cut from the garden.

Jiang Huashan said, "Later, each of the knights here will receive a rose. Please give the rose to your favorite princess according to your preference. The time limit is three dances. Whoever receives the most roses will be the princess of tonight's banquet."

"The winning 'Princess' will gain absolute power once, and can exercise this power over any knight present. Please note that the Princess' power cannot be resisted. Although it is just a game, you must have a playful spirit."

Isn't this just a child's play? The adults didn't take it seriously. The guests should follow the host's wishes. Since this is the Shen family's way of hospitality, let's play it.

Zhou Guochao patted Zhou Yanheng on the shoulder and said, "Don't give your flowers to anyone else. Give them to Ah Shan. Don't let your sister lose so badly."

Zhou Yanheng smiled and said, "I understand, Grandpa."

Xiao Lanlan had originally initiated this game, so she was naturally full of confidence, her chin raised as she glanced at the girls around her. "They're all just mediocre girls, how could they compare to her?" Xiao Lanlan turned her head, casually glancing at the center circle.

Zhou Yanheng happened to look up at her. Xiao Lanlan looked shy. A hint of interest ignited in Zhou Yanheng's eyes, and he glanced at a corner as if unintentionally.

Shen Mianzhi wore a pink dress and hid in the crowd. From the moment she entered the banquet, her eyes were uncontrollably attracted to Zhou Yanheng. All night long, she only dared to hide in the crowd and secretly look at him.

But when she raised her eyes cautiously again, their eyes met unexpectedly.

This was the first time they looked into each other's eyes tonight.

Shen Mianzhi felt as embarrassed as if she was caught on the spot. She subconsciously wanted to avoid it but couldn't bear to be stared at.

Zhou Yanheng seemed to understand her timidity, and he smiled at her with his eyes slightly curved.

Shen Mianzhi felt that his ears were burning so much that they were about to sound the alarm, and he lowered his head at a loss.

Xiao Lanlan kept looking at Zhou Yanheng, but seeing that he completely ignored her and even smiled at others, Xiao Lanlan frowned slightly and turned to look at the crowd.

But there was a huge group of people, all girls of similar age, and she couldn't figure out who Zhou Yanheng was flirting with.

Just when she was at a loss, Yu Sheng, who was not far away, suddenly smiled. Xiao Lanlan looked at Zhou Yanheng warily, but he had already withdrawn his gaze and turned his head to talk to Shen Guiling.

Xiao Lanlan suppressed her anger and turned to vent it at Jiang Huashan on the stage, "Are you done yet? If you're done, have Auntie give flowers to the boys here?"

Jiang Huashan asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you have to choose a knight before choosing a princess?"

"Choose a knight? Do we even need to choose? Aren't boys knights?" Xiao Lanlan didn't react at first.

But many people at the scene reacted quickly, and Shen Lanxi and Shen Guiling looked up at the stage almost at the same time.

Jiang Huashan held up the megaphone and said, "All girls, the game is in your hands. Now please stretch out your hands. Those who choose to be knights please raise your left hand, and those who choose to be princesses please raise your right hand."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions froze, and the women in the wives' circle stopped chatting.

Who says girls have to be princesses and boys have to be knights?

Some people like to be surrounded and chosen, but there are also people who want to be the one who takes the initiative.

What I am most proud of is not being a princess, but that I can change the rules and decide who is the princess?

Isn’t this the law of the strong and the law of the jungle?

Shen Zhuang had been frowning, but after hearing the second rule, a smile finally appeared on his lips. He shook his head in frustration, "What a messed up game! Please forgive me, everyone. This girl is so clever and clever, I've spoiled her."

Everyone present just laughed it off.

The spring thunder has sounded and heavy rain has arrived. Smart people can see the big picture from the subtle details, but they don't necessarily say it out loud.
