In Lu Qingxuan's eyes, even though the Lu family members kept their true emotions to themselves during Mrs. Lu's birthday party, everyone explained themselves in the most appropriate way. She could see it all clearly.

The only person she couldn't understand was Chen Ya. The fundamental reason why she couldn't understand him was that she had never seen him again since he tried lighting fireworks in the suburbs of Beijing that day.

She didn't want to show that she really wanted to see that person, but in fact she had been waiting for Chen Ya to contact her every day for half a month.

Mrs. Lu's birthday party was imminent, but Chen Ya was still missing. She had no choice but to compromise and called Lu Ruixiang to ask if Chen Ya was still alive.

"We don't know where Chen Ya went," Lu Ruixiang said. "He left in a hurry. It's not even clear whether he is still in the capital..."

"In other words, he ran away, right?" Lu Qingxuan said emotionlessly, "Then he doesn't plan to attend Mrs. Lu's birthday party tomorrow?"

"That's definitely not the case. He said he would attend the birthday party."

"He should indeed participate," Lu Qingxuan's voice was still cold, "His seat is at the front, the table closest to the old lady. It always doesn't look good when that seat is empty."

Lu Ruixiang didn't know that Chen Ya's position was arranged at the front. She was a little surprised to learn that Chen Ya was at the front and asked:

"Why is he sitting there? Isn't he sitting in the side hall with our family?"

"My great-grandmother values ​​him more."

Lu Qingxuan simply said this. But it cannot be said that there was no threat in her words.

She did not tell Lu Ruixiang that Chen Ya's seat was actually due to her own arrangements and various coincidences. This caused Lu Ruixiang to gasp after hearing this.

"Then, the seats for our family..."

"You and your family are still sitting in the side hall." Lu Qingxuan dispelled all Lu Ruixiang's fantasies with one sentence.

Lu Ruixiang held the phone, her knuckles turned white due to too much force, and there was a layer of sweat on her palms. She said in a dry voice:

"We will definitely find Chen Ya and ask him to attend on time. However, we really haven't been able to contact him recently. If he can't attend the birthday banquet by tomorrow, can he adjust his behavior?"

"Adjustment? How to adjust? Do you know who is sitting at that table? Qin Yunchu, Gu Yuqing... If you adjust, it will become a complicated matter. Have you ever thought about it? You may even get into trouble with your great-grandmother.

Go. I don’t want my great-grandmother to know about this."

Lu Ruixiang was so nervous that her breathing was uneven, and she quickly said: "Okay, okay, we will definitely find him."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qingxuan had an evil smile on her lips.

She knew that because of this phone call, Lu Ruixiang would definitely try his best to put pressure on Chen Ya. But she couldn't blame Lu Qingxuan, it was all his own fault - who made him disappear?

But Lu Ruixiang, who had finished talking to her, was focused on something else entirely.

She is a branch of the Lu family and is not as well-informed as other Lu family members. This is the first time she knows that Gu Yuqing will also come to attend Mr. Lu's birthday banquet.

And the Lu family actually arranged Chen Ya to sit at Gu Yuqing's table, which is enough to show how high Chen Ya's status in the hearts of Grandma and the others has risen to in just one month in the capital.

Lu Ruixiang quickly summoned the whole family - the whole family except Chen Ya - and told Lu Qingxuan the content of the call with him, and asked them to try their best to contact Chen Ya.

In addition to Chen Hai gritting his teeth in jealousy, her small family meeting did not achieve any results, and Chen Ya still couldn't contact anyone.

No one could get through to Chen Ya's phone number, and no one responded to messages sent to him, as if he had disappeared.

Except Lu Qianzi.

Behind everyone's back, Lu Qianzi secretly sent a message to Chen Ya:

"Are you really not planning to come tomorrow?"

After a while, a message came back quickly:

"I'm dealing with a serious matter. But it should be over tomorrow."

Seeing this line of text, Lu Qianzi calmly closed the phone screen.

Chen Ya had never used "serious" to describe anything, which made Lu Qianzi a little worried.

Moreover, even if he finishes handling this matter, will he show up at the birthday banquet?

He didn't say.

…

The suspense of whether Chen Ya would appear remained until the day of the birthday banquet.

Six o'clock in the evening, Mingyue Tower.

A red carpet is laid out, brocade is served on the table, and lanterns are decorated.

Crowds of people came in twos and threes dressed up, Rolls-Royce, Porsche, and other luxury cars filed into the parking lot.

Pedestrians who were passing by were surprised when they saw this battle - which celebrity in the capital was having a party? Looking at the number of cars, at least half of the wealthy families in the circle were here.

Their prediction was wrong because more than half of the wealthy families from the small circle came.

All the wealthy families in the capital circle came here.

Mingyue Tower was completed around 10 years ago. It has been 10 years since then. The owner of the 85-story restaurant has a fortune of over 100 million. At this time, he is standing at the entrance of the hall with his hands rubbed and his head bowed, greeting every guest who comes here.

Even in the entire history since Mingyue Tower was built, today can be regarded as one of the most grand days.

Even the most ordinary children of the Lu family couldn't help but puff up their chests today. As a wealthy family, the Lu family's grand occasion today is a concentrated and intuitive display of its influence. How can people not be proud of this?

"Ding!"

The door of the sightseeing elevator opened, and there was a rhythmic sound of high heels hitting the ground. Lu Qingxuan walked out of the elevator surrounded by many people.

At this time, when people standing in the corridor saw Lu Qingxuan, their eyes lit up.

Today, Lu Qingxuan was dressed up. She changed her hair style from the past and styled her hair into a dignified yet gorgeous lady-style bun. She was wearing a long skirt that resembled the attire of a European court noble. The fluffy skirt fluttered, making her look like

Princess.

She wore crystal high heels, and her exposed, shapely calves were as white and flawless as jade. Maybe it was because it was cold outside just now, and her ankles were a little red, but it made her whole pair of jade legs look even more attractive.

In the entire corridor, whether they were waiters, maids, managers, or other children of aristocratic families, wealthy businessmen, and wealthy people, their eyes were cast on Lu Qingxuan, and they rested on her face that was like a flower on a high mountain.

"Miss Lu, you go this way."

"Qingxuan, long time no see!"

Lu Qingxuan nodded to these people one by one, with a decent smile on his face, but his eyes were searching everywhere for something.

Now she just wants to know what happened to Chen Ya.

"Miss Lu?"

"Ah, it's you."

Lu Qingxuan's eyes met the eyes of someone who was also searching for something.

It's Liu Ruying.

Today, Liu Ruying is wearing a black dress, and her slender figure is not far behind Lu Qingxuan. She is already very good-looking, and with the thick and appropriate makeup on her face, she is even more charming.

Liu Ruying came as a representative of the Liu family. Among the aristocratic families, even though the Liu family was slightly weaker, due to the special relationship between the Liu family and the Lu family, people from the Liu family were also placed in very important positions.

After seeing Liu Ruying, Lu Qingxuan walked over and said, "Have you found Chen Ya?"

"No." Liu Ruying shook her head dejectedly, "Maybe he won't come."

"That won't work."

"Actually, for me, it's better if he doesn't come, so as not to be... embarrassed." Liu Ruying said seriously.

Lu Qingxuan didn't know about her engagement with Chen Ya and gave her a strange look.

"I know where your seat is, come with me."

"Yeah." Liu Ruying nodded.

Two beautiful girls of the same level, one behind the other, walked towards the main hall, attracting everyone's attention.

Both girls have the same slender figure, astonishingly long legs, and each have their own good looks. Naturally, they easily attract attention, but their thoughts are not on others.

It is still early to leave the table, and there are not many people in the main hall. Most of those who came here early are descendants of the Lu family. As for Qin Yunchu and Gu Yuqing, no one from aristocratic families has come, so the table looks

Empty.

Lu Qingxuan was about to invite Liu Ruying to take a seat when she saw her great-grandmother and committee member Gao from a distance, so she and Liu Ruying came to greet the two elders.

As soon as she saw Liu Ruying, the great-grandmother smiled and said: "This girl is so beautiful. Which family are you from?"

Liu Ruying politely replied: "I am from the Liu family."

"Are you the eldest or the second oldest?"

Liu Ruying hesitated for a while and said, "It belongs to me, boss."

"Are you still studying now?"

"Yes, I am studying for my undergraduate degree at Beijing University."

Grandma's smile became even brighter, she took her hand and said: "Yes, she looks very dignified, speaks well, and has good academic qualifications. Our Lu family and Liu family have been friends since the past, and we see that the next generation of the Liu family is more promising than us.

I’m even happier when my own children have a bright future.”

Liu Ruying thanked her grandma repeatedly for her concern, and she added: "The old man has always cared for you juniors of the Liu family as if they were his own juniors. I remember that he also made a marriage promise to your family. Is that you?"

Liu Ruying's face turned red: "It's me."

Lu Qingxuan looked at her in surprise. She had only heard of this family relationship before, but she didn't know that the person she was getting married to was Liu Ruying.
