Wen Shaoqing knew that by doing this, he would be stepping into the underworld again, dragging the newly bleached Wen Family in as well. However, he had no other choice, if he did not borrow other powers, he would quickly figure out the truth. Wen Shaoqing was afraid that Bai Xiao would run into danger, hence Wen Shaoqing did not dare to take any more risks.

Lu Family.

Because the weather wasn't bad, the banquet venue was directly set up on the lawn outside the house. On the green lawn around the house, there was a long white steel round table, and the table was also filled with all kinds of food and snacks, as well as all kinds of drinks, just like a buffet dinner. The lawn was filled with people coming and going, wearing exquisite clothes, laughing and chatting, or eating, it was really uncomfortable, and there were even waiters dressed in uniform, constantly updating their food and wine, or standing at the entrance to serve the guests.

Wu Pengpeng glanced at the people on scene, they were all either rich or noble, and there were even many familiar faces of Wu Pengpeng, although he had never interviewed them before, but he would frequently see them in the finance shed next door.

Once he walked into the hall that had a unique design, Wu Pengpeng saw beautiful women and men in suits, wearing elegant suits, shuttling back and forth in the luxurious, well-maintained clothing. Flowers, delicacies, beauties … they all complemented each other.

Wu Pengpeng could not help but exclaim at the Lu Family's wealth. With that, she looked at Lu Zixi, as though she had the feeling that he was a noble son of a family. She did not know why she did not realise it previously, but Wu Pengpeng was a little confused.

Wu Pengpeng looked around again. Everyone in the room was wearing an evening gown, they were all very exquisite, Wu Pengpeng lowered her head and looked at herself, wearing a denim shirt with light blue holes in the jeans, the front part of the denim shirt was stuffed a little into the jeans, and on her feet was a pair of dirty canvas shoes, Wu Pengpeng could not help but feel inferior and embarrassed.

Wu Pengpeng tried the bag in her hands, but it didn't seem to hold much weight. She carefully thought back to the present and confirmed that it didn't seem to fit inside the bag, but she was already at her wit's end.

Lu Zixi walked for a while. When he realized that Wu Pengpeng was not following him, he turned around and saw Wu Pengpeng standing there daydreaming. She couldn't help but laugh and walk back, holding her hand.

"Zixi, why don't I go first?" Wu Pengpeng was a little unsure in her heart.

Lu Zixi stared straight at Wu Pengpeng, thinking that she was unwilling, but her face immediately changed, becoming as dark as water.

"Zixi, I'm not in a good mood today. I didn't know your family was having a party for your birthday. I thought it was just an ordinary birthday. I didn't expect it to be so formal and crowded." Seeing that Lu Zixi's expression wasn't good, Wu Pengpeng knew that he was definitely unhappy, and hurriedly explained.

"So that's how it is." Lu Zixi was shocked, he thought Wu Pengpeng was going back on her words, "It's alright, Peng Peng, my family doesn't care about this." Lu Zixi consoled.

"But …" Wu Pengpeng was still a little uncertain.

"No need but, it's alright, just follow me." Lu Zixi acted as if it was a matter of course. As far as he was concerned, since he had gone through so much trouble to bring back a girlfriend, Lady Lu would definitely be too happy before he could do anything.

"Mom." Lu Zixi suddenly shouted.

Hearing Lu Zixi's shout, Wu Pengpeng immediately raised her head and looked over to where Lu Zixi was looking at, only to see a forty year old lady slowly walking down the stairs, she was dressed in a red silk evening gown, her face painted with exquisite makeup, and because she was taking care of it properly, there were no wrinkles on her face, and on her neck, hands and ears, she was wearing a set of jewelry that was worth over forty million.

When Wu Pengpeng saw Lady Lu walking towards her, although she had already mentally prepared herself, she was still very nervous.

"Mom, this is my girlfriend, Wu Pengpeng." Lu Zixi pulled Wu Pengpeng from behind him and introduced him to Lady Lu.

"Hello, Auntie." Wu Pengpeng was so nervous that her voice changed a little, and she immediately handed over the gift in her hand. Auntie, this is a gift from me. "

When Lady Lu heard Lu Zixi introducing Wu Pengpeng in such a manner, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly and size Wu Pengpeng up from head to toe.

Lu Zixi saw everything, and coughed lightly, he took the bag in Wu Pengpeng's hands and comforted her, "Mom, this is a gift that Peng Peng picked out for the whole afternoon, I will help you place it in your room." After Lu Zixi finished, he pulled Wu Pengpeng and prepared to go upstairs.

"No need." Lady Lu stopped Lu Zixi, "Give me your present, I'll take a look."

Lu Zixi was startled, before he could even react, the bag in his hand had already been taken away by the Lady Lu.

Lady Lu immediately opened the gift in front of the crowd, and when the surrounding people saw this scene, they all unconsciously surrounded her, wanting to see the excitement.

Wu Pengpeng only felt her cheeks burning hot, Lady Lu took out a gift box from inside, opening it, Lady Lu took out a cylindrical object, looking around, she did not understand what it was, "What is this? A cup? " Lady Lu was a little uncertain.

"Yes, a thermos." Wu Pengpeng explained embarrassedly, "I heard from Zixi that your stomach isn't very well, so I picked a thermos so that you can drink some hot water to warm your stomach."

"A thermos?" Lady Lu acted as if she had heard a joke, "This is really the first time I've received such a gift. Take a look at it yourself, which random gift I've received isn't stronger than this?"
