It's a Shame My Little Zeming Ended Things with You

By now, all the guests had finally arrived. It was the moment when the butler of the Shen family made his entrance, standing near the grand, majestic staircase that rose before elegantly splitting into two sweeping branches.

"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. I want to thank you all for coming to my father's birthday celebration," a voice rang out, loud yet clear. The speaker, Shen Guanting, stood with firm, composed eyes yet a polite smile gracing his face.

"I see many familiar faces here today," he continued, his gaze sweeping over the vast, opulent hall as he nodded. "My father has always valued relationships and friendships above all else."

A guest called out enthusiastically, "Patriarch Shen, your father has been a mentor to so many of us!"

Shen Guanting responded with his well-practiced business smile, nodding once again. "Indeed. He would be delighted to hear that. He has profoundly touched many lives throughout the years."
