The banquet had yet to reach its climax, and the most important person had yet to arrive — the number one family in the capital, the Lu family.
Everyone had come to this banquet for the ultimate purpose of meeting the person in charge of the Lu family, Lu Xiu.
Speaking of which, it was strange. A year ago, the Cheng family was still small and unknown in the capital. However, the Lu family provided the Cheng family a large amount of support all of a sudden, causing the Cheng family to rise from rags to riches within a short year, the Cheng family immediately became a well-known family in the capital.
Although nobody knew the specific reason, they speculated that it was because of Cheng Xiao. After all, a year ago was the time that Cheng Xiao returned to the Cheng family.
Therefore, those who received the invitation came to attend this banquet because they knew that the Lu family would definitely come. Who knows, they might even be able to forge ties with the Lu family. In the future, they wouldn’t have to worry about their children and grandchildren.
A long Bentley stopped steadily outside the door. Two men with extraordinary dispositions got out of the car, followed by a few people.
The leader was the highest-ranking person of the Lu family — Lu Xiu.
He wore a handmade custom suit that looked exceptional. Paired with a dark-blue tie with stripes , he gave off the impression of a business elite.
A man wearing a khaki-colored coat walked diagonally behind him. His figure was pristine and handsome, and his skin was very pale. His head was lowered slightly, such that people could not see his features clearly.
The two of them walked into the Cheng family’s gate at the same pace. The crowd immediately swarmed over, they were led by Cheng Ming, who didn’t forget to bring Cheng Xiao along.
“Mr. Lu, you’re finally here! Your presence here honours the Cheng Family!” Cheng Ming grabbed Lu Xiu with both hands in a handshake. “Thank you so much for helping our Cheng family, young master Lu. Xiao Xiao, come and greet young master Lu!”
Lu Xiu pulled his hand out of Cheng Ming’s and greeted them with a courteous smile.
“Young master Lu, who is this?”
Cheng Ming noticed the man behind Lu Xiu.
When he was called, Lu Qi only raised his eyelids, as if he didn’t see anything.
But just by looking up, all the girls present, aged sixty to eighteen, were stunned.
How have they never seen such a handsome man with this extraordinary disposition?
“This is my younger brother and also my assistant, Lu Qi. Now, he helps me manage some affairs.”
“So he’s your younger brother, Young Master Lu. He must be very outstanding too!” Cheng Ming only wanted to suck up to Lu Qi. As long as it was someone related to the Lu family, he had to be involved with them. Therefore, he extended his hand to Lu Qi —
Who knew that Lu Qi would take a step back!
Cheng Ming stood still in shock and embarrassment, his hand still extended.
Lu Xiu placed his hand over his mouth as if to hide a cough. “Apologies Mr. Cheng. My younger brother has germaphobia. Please don’t take it to heart.”
The people around dissolved into laughter. A Germaphobe refusing to shake hands, isn’t that just another way of saying that Cheng Ming’s hands were dirty?
“Dad, didn’t you prepare some fine wine for young master Lu to taste?” Cheng Xiao took a step forward to ease the awkward scene.
Although she was talking to Cheng Ming, her eyes were fixed on Lu Xiu. She smiled slightly and showed her best manners.
The door was swarmed with people. Men and women in all kinds of dresses and designer suits crowded there. Cheng Ling hung up the phone, glanced at the crowd, notified Xie Ying, and was ready to leave first.
It was better to go back and plant some vegetables than to waste time in such a place!
She put her phone into her pocket and walked toward the door.
Lu Qi was walking out of the crowd when Cheng Ling brushed past him.
The khaki coat caught Cheng Ling’s eyes. She suddenly looked up and met Lu Qi’s gaze.
The man’s eyes seemed to be stained with the chill of the night. There was a faint estrangement in his gaze and his face was extremely pale. Even though he was dressed so casually and simply at such a banquet, he still stood out from the crowd.
Cheng Ling averted her gaze, suppressed the inexplicable sense of familiarity in her heart, and left the Cheng family house.
Lu Qi turned his head and stared at the young girl’s graceful figure until she disappeared into the darkness of the night.
This is the fake daughter of the Cheng Family? Interesting, but… why are those eyes so familiar? It was as if he had stared into them many times before.
The moonlight outside the window was gentle like water. Lu Qi coughed softly.
“Are You alright? I told you I could handle this myself. You’re not feeling well, why did you come with me?”Lu Xiu asked with a hint of anxiousness.
“I’m fine. You stay here and deal with the Cheng family. I’ll go deal with Chen Jin.”Lu Qi patted Lu Xiu’s shoulder and walked into the darkness of the night.
His coat was blown by the wind.. The Hem of his windbreaker fluttered a few times before it stilled.
