Chapter 8 - Lost Necklace (1)

"Thank you." Tao Chu Liang recovered from his shock and replied indifferently.

Xiang Chen Xi lowered his gaze and saw the new necklace on Tao Chu Liang's neck.

"Such an ugly thing is not worthy of you."

Before the music stopped, the two figures in the middle of the dance floor suddenly stopped in their tracks.

"What's wrong?" Lu Zi Xuan squinted his eyes.

Tao Jian Xin frowned, "There must be a problem! You should hurry up and take a look! "

Lu Zi Xuan stood there motionlessly. What the hell is that Xiang guy trying to do? "

Tao Jian Xin was anxious and angry. Looking at Lu Zi Xuan, he felt that he was too muddleheaded to help.

"Little Lu, when your dad asked me to help your Lu Corporation, he kept praising you for being able to do it. But I see you... "It doesn't seem like he has any strong points. He can't even defend a single dance partner, and won't even dare to snatch it back after it's been snatched away."

When he mentioned the great danger to the Lu Group, Lu Zi Xuan couldn't help but clench his teeth. If it wasn't for the trouble at home, he wouldn't want to get close to a woman like Tao Chu Liang who was as thin as a human plate.

"I'll take Chu Liang and leave." Lu Zi Xuan forced out a smile and walked towards the center of the stage.

The music around them suddenly quieted down, leaving only the violin playing alone.

Xiang Chen Xi helped Tao Chu Liang put on the necklace that he had customized for her half a year ago, and at the same time, he took off the necklace that Lu Zi Xuan had given him and placed into Tao Chu Liang's hands.

"As for these ugly things, how do you want to deal with them?"

"What are you doing?" Lu Zi Xuan ordered his men to rush to Xiang Chen Xi's side, "What qualifications do you have to do so …"

Xiang Chen Xi looked down at Lu Zi Xuan, who was shorter than him by more than a head, and was completely unwilling to talk to him. He once again held Tao Chu Liang's hand and continued the opening dance.

Just like that, Lu Zi Xuan left him in the center of the stage.

Although he could not see the expressions of the spectators around him, Lu Zi Xuan could feel the mockery coming from all directions. Annoyed, he left the stage and dashed to the bar in the corner for a drink to vent his anger.

"Happy birthday, Cousin."

Tao Chu Liang was worried that he would not have a place to handle the necklace that Lu Zi Xuan had gifted him, since Tao Yi Fei had delivered it to him, he might as well go with the flow.

"Thank you, cousin." As Tao Chu Liang said this, he suddenly gave Tao Yi Fei a caught off guard and hugged him tightly. Then, he stealthily hid the necklace on his palm within the decorative butterfly knot at the waist of Tao Yi Fei's little dress, "I am truly happy to receive your blessing."

Tao Yi Fei ended the hug in disgust, and when she saw Tao Jian Xin walking closer, she immediately pushed Tao Chu Liang over to him.

Tao Jian Xin had come for the matter of Lu Zi Xuan being unlucky.

"Chu Liang, actually, Mr Lu specially prepared this birthday banquet for you, but how did you reject him?"

Tao Chu Liang revealed an innocent look, "I didn't do that."

"When we were dancing just now, how could you allow Xiang Chen Xi to take away Mr. Lu's birthday present?" Tao Chu Liang carried out the elder's unique tone of voice.

"What does Uncle think I should do? "Uncle obviously has an answer in mind. Why don't you teach me?"

Tao Jian Xin had indeed wanted to influence Tao Chu Liang initially, but the way Tao Chu Liang looked at him made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Yah." Tao Chu Liang suddenly cried out in alarm, purposely raising his voice so that even more people could hear, "The necklace Mr Lu gave me is gone!"

The crowd went into an uproar.

"Will he …" Tao Chu Liang pretended to look at Xiang Chen Xi suspiciously.

Tao Jian Xin immediately took the bait, "I will go look for Mr. Lu. They have a metal detector in their hotel!"
