After a long wait, there was an endless torment. Guan Qiqi held the scented tea in her hand and rolled her eyes. She impatiently said to Lin Wanyi at the side: "This Lu family is very wealthy, why would they leave their guests here like this? How could there be such a way to treat guests! "
"Why, can't you tell me? "Not even a servant remained. Could it be that they all went outside to listen in the corner?"
After a long time, the door of the banquet hall slowly opened with a creaking sound.
Pei Zi Yun walked towards Guan Zhengyuan with a deadpan expression. He had a champagne handkerchief in his jacket pocket, which was very obvious on his black suit.
"Uncle Guan, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Pei Ming extended a hand and shook hands with Guan Zhengyuan.
Guan Zhengyuan hurriedly got up and smiled apologetically, "I wonder if the Master Lu and Old Master are doing well."
"Grandpa will be here soon." Pu Zi Ming did not fully answer Guan Zhengyuan's question, and the atmosphere became strange and quiet.
"Jubilee, look at my clothes! I asked the chief designer at Herm s to tailor it for me. "
Pei Ming didn't even look at her and just replied coldly, "Oh." She found a chair and sat down, tasting the wine in the cup. She did not know if her face was slightly flushed from the wine or if she was savoring something.
"Old Master Lu has arrived!" An elderly waiter was standing at the entrance and shouting towards the banquet hall.
Following which, two rows of servants dressed in uniform spread out an exquisite woolen red carpet.
The three people of the Guan family looked towards the door at the same time, expecting to see this legendary foreign prince.
However, the following scene was something they could never have imagined.
Looking from afar, there was a woman in simple clothes with a dog in one hand and a wheelchair in the other. An old man was sitting on the chair. The old man had an extremely long white beard, which was very rare in today's society.
Was this old man the legendary Old Master Lu that could shake the entire Shang Hai?
Not only Guan Qiqi, but even Lin Wanyi and the others did not care to believe the scene in front of their eyes.
Legend has it that this man was once the ruler of a country. Legend has it that this man was eight feet tall, tall and mighty. Legend has it that this man's personality was eccentric, cold and terrifying …
No one could connect this benevolent "Grandpa Christmas" with the man in the legend.
Furthermore, he was still sitting on his wheelchair. Although the fact that the Old Master Lu was disabled was something that the entire Lu Manor knew dozens of years ago, in order to protect the Lu Group's image, very few people in the outside world knew. It was only Guan Zhengyuan's first time seeing it.
Intense light shone from the door into the hall, adding that all three of their attention was focused on the Old Master Lu's beard, they actually did not notice that the enchanting short haired lady behind them, was Guan Youyou.
Dai Sen took the wheelchair from Guan Youyou's hands and pushed Old Master Lu onto his seat.
Strangely, instead of pushing him to the center, he pushed him to the edge of the three seats.
The three of them looked at each other in unison, thinking that the owner of this banquet, was it not Old Master Lu? Even if Lu Zhenhua was the host, shouldn't the elderly sit in the center?
Then, something even more surprising happened. Master Lu was not sitting on a wheelchair because of the inconvenience of his old age. He did not seem to have the ability to stand up, nor did he intend to leave the wheelchair.
So who was this chair for?
Just as the three of them were feeling suspicious, Old Master Lu called out and Xiao Jiu jumped onto the chair.
In his astonishment, Guan Qiqi couldn't help but let out an "Ah".
She thought the dog was going to be served.
"Hahaha, little girl, don't be afraid. Jiu'er is very obedient and won't bite anyone." The Old Master Lu smiled benevolently and turned to Guan Zhengyuan, "I am very sorry, Guan Shi Nephew. This old fellow cannot leave me at all times, I had no choice but to bring him to the table.
Guan Zhengyuan quickly bowed: "Uncle Lu, you are being too polite, we are family, we do not mind."
"Dad …" Guan Qiqi muttered to himself.
"Hmm? Miss Guan has something to say. " Guan Qiqi never thought that although Old Master Lu was old, his hearing was extremely good.
She quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, no. I'm just curious about what the seat in the middle is …?"
Guan Qiqi was very pleased with herself for changing the topic.
"Oh, you mean this? This is for the host of this banquet."
The host of the banquet?
The three men from the Guan Family were all puzzled.
Old Master Lu turned to look at Pei Zi Ming, who was drinking red wine at the side.
The light at the door became increasingly brighter. Guan Qiqi squinted her eyes slightly, only seeing that the person who came was a tall and beautiful woman with a delicate figure. If one were to talk about why she felt that her appearance was exquisite, then one must talk about her slender swan neck beneath her short hair. For a young lady with such a neck, her appearance must not be too inferior, right?
Guan Youyou stood at the doorway motionlessly, her heart racing. It was unknown if it was because the hate beneath her feet was too high, making her unable to move, or if it was because she wasn't prepared to face the Guan Family members. She just stood there foolishly, not knowing whether to retreat or advance.
He walked up to her and, seeing how nervous she was, touched her head to comfort her.
This scene appeared in Guan Qiqi's eyes, making her clench her fists in hatred.
What kind of little demoness is she? She actually dared to steal my Jubilee. But then he thought, could she be some distant relative or sister of Pei Ming? So he didn't act up.
Guan Youyou held onto Lu Ming's hand, and walked towards the dining table stiffly.
Her face grew clearer.
Guan Qiqi gasped. The person who came was none other than her little sister, the bitch who had cut off her hair and changed her clothes was actually so captivating, she was practically the most famous woman in the world. And the champagne dress she was wearing was clearly the champagne handkerchief that had been placed on Lu Shen Ming's chest.
"Father." Guan Youyou called out softly.
"Mm, dad is relieved to see that you're fine."
Following that, she turned towards Lin Wanyi. After hesitating for a moment, she shouted in a weak voice, "Mommy …"
Because of face, Lin Wanyi pretended to greet her warmly with an obsequious smile: "Good child, do you still feel pain on your body?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore, thank you for mother's concern." The atmosphere between the two was polite and distant, with a terrible awkwardness.
"Elder sister, you came too." Guan Youyou looked at Guan Qiqi in fear, her scalp aching faintly.
Guan Qiqi was not like her mother who knew how to judge the situation. She blurted out the words that she wanted to say, "Don't fake it, you don't want me to, right?"
Lin Wanyi glared at her and immediately went to Guan Youyou's side.
"Aiya, what are you all standing there for? Yo, yo, yo. Come over and sit down." She turned back. "Add a chair, please."
The servant did not reply.
Lin Wanyi felt a burst of awkwardness.
It was the Old Master Lu who broke the awkward silence, "What chair? Come, aiyo, sit beside me."
Guan Youyou looked at Grandpa Lu's amiable face, then turned to look at Pei Ming.
He nodded, and she sat down right in the middle.
Guan Youyou did not know what this position meant, but the remaining three people of the Guan Family were completely terrified by it.
"Uncle Lu Shi, my daughter doesn't understand. I'll tell her to give up her seat." Guan Zhengyuan immediately apologized and changed his expression. He then scolded Guan Youyou angrily, "Yo, yo, can't you see that's the main seat? "Hurry and get up."
Guan Youyou was scared stiff by her father's scolding and was about to stand up.
On the side, the mother and daughter of the Guan Family were also smiling, waiting to see a good show.
"Aiya, Nephew Guan Shi, I was the one who made Yo yo sit here, don't blame her." Old Master Lu pointed at Guan Youyou, indicating that she should do it well and not need to stand up.
Guan Youyou was a little confused, she could only sit down again in a daze.
"But isn't this the owner's position?" Guan Zhengyuan asked doubtfully.
"Yeah." After Old Master Lu said this, he laughed out loud.
The three of them were confused, even Guan Youyou did not understand.
To the side, Pei Zi Ming raised the wine cup in front of him, took a sip, glanced at Guan Qiqi, and said coldly, "Oh, it's the owner of this banquet."
The Guan mother and daughter could not believe what they had heard. Other than a smile on Guan Zhengyuan's face, the two of them were so green that they could act the part of female ghost to scare others.
Especially for Guan Qiqi, she absolutely could not accept this fact. She shook her head and unconsciously took two steps back.
Seeing Guan Qiqi like that, a look of satisfaction appeared in the eyes of Pei Zi Ming. He then turned frightful cold, "Furthermore, Yo yo, you will be the future mistress of the Lu family."
For a moment, all three women in the room turned to look at him.
Guan Qiqi's despair.
Lin Wanyi endured.
But there was only one word that could describe Guan Youyou's words, and that was stupefaction.
Pei Ming looked affectionately at this foolish little cutie with a gentle smile on his face that no one could see. "Young Madam, are you treating your parents like this as if they were your family?"
"Oh, Mom and Dad, and. Elder sister, quickly sit down. The dishes are about to be served. " Although Guan Youyou had not figured out what was going on, she did not dare to disobey Pei Zi Ming.
"You think …!" Guan Qiqi's words came out of her mouth, but just as she spoke a few words, she was abruptly pulled down by Lin Wanyi who was at the side.
Although there were only six people at the banquet, it was as if they had prepared a hundred dishes. Furthermore, each dish seemed to be prepared by a top-notch chef.
In the face of such delicious food, not a single one of the six people at the table were able to eat in peace.
Other than exchanging simple greetings with the Guan Family, the Old Master Lu had also been taking care of his old dog.
Lin Wanyi's meal could only be described as hard to swallow. She was wholeheartedly thinking of a plan to turn the situation around.
On one hand, he was happy for his daughter, and on the other hand, he was happy for the Guan Family. But on the other hand, he furrowed his brows as he looked at Lin Wanyi, who was preoccupied with something on the side.
Although Guan Youyou was completely bewitched by the delicious food, when she looked at her mother and sister, especially at her sister who was looking at her with hatred, she lost her appetite.
The food in front of him hadn't been touched at all. He only drank a few mouthfuls of red wine from time to time, conversing with his grandfather and Guan Zhengyuan. At other times, no one knew what he was thinking about.
Guan Qiqi's face flushed. The fingernails beneath the table were about to tear her dress apart, she looked at Guan Youyou who was sitting on the seat of honor in anger, thinking that this fox like little enchantress had actually snatched her seat just like that, she must snatch this seat back. Thinking like this, she naturally couldn't eat anymore.
After a few simple pleasantries, there was a moment of terrible silence at the table.
Lin Wanyi seemed to have thought of something, and her tightly furrowed brows slightly loosened.
She raised the glass in front of her and drained it in one gulp, as if to strengthen her courage.
"Old Master Lu, I wonder, why hasn't Master Lu Lu Zhenhua come today?"
