Chapter 620 - The Lu Family's Banquet Pt.1
Chapter 620 The Lu Family’s Banquet Pt.1
The invitation had already been sent to Song Yunxuan. At this time, Song Yunxuan frowned and pondered.
Meanwhile, Mei Qi and Xiao Hong also finished reading the invitation. Then one of them asked, “Will you go there, Manager Song?”
Song Yunxuan answered, “Since it’s the invitation from the Lu Family, I have to attend it.”
As long as there was a chance to ruin Shao Tianze, Song Yunxuan would grasp the chance without hesitation.
Song Yunxuan lowered her eyes, telling Xiao Hong, “Please prepare the evening gown for me, Editor Xiao.”
It was the first time for Xiao Hong to take such a task. Thus she did a double-take and then replied, “OK. Yes, I’ll be right on it.”
Among all the daughters of the Song Family, Song Yunxuan was the only one who was unmarried and outstanding.
So to some extent, the Lu Family had an ulterior motive for inviting Song Yunxuan to their evening banquet.
Sitting in the chair behind the desk, Song Yunxuan tapped on the desk. Then she heard Mei Qi saying, “Lu Feng may court you in the banquet. By then, how will you respond?”
Hearing Mei Qi’s words, Song Yunxuan asked him in reply, “What do you think I should do, Assistant Mei?”
Mei Qi came straight to the point, replying, “Since the Song Family and the Shao Family are fighting now, Lu Feng’s involvement will be the biggest uncertainty in turning the tables. If Lu Feng courts you, it’s necessary for you to give him a kind reply.”
Song Yunxuan felt a bit surprised at Mei Qi’s words, saying, “I thought you would have some other ideas.”
“No. I just want you to get your wish. As your assistant, my job is to let you realize your goal and get your wish.”
Song Yunxuan looked at Mei Qi, asking, “So how do you think Lu Feng will court me?”
Mei Qi immediately frowned on hearing that.
If a man courted an unmarried woman, it was obvious that he wanted to chase her.
However, Lu Feng was different. Mei Qi was not sure about whether Lu Feng would court Song Yunxuan or how he would do it.
Mei Qi couldn’t immediately tell Song Yunxuan how Lu Feng would act.
Seeing that Mei Qi couldn’t answer her for now, Song Yunxuan smiled and said, “We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. There’s always a way. Let’s wait and see.”
“OK.”
Though Mei Qi didn’t say anything else, he was afraid that Lu Feng would choose the simplest way to court Song Yunxuan.
At the time when Song Yunxuan received the invitation, many rich families in Yuncheng also received Lu Feng’s invitations. And the Shao Family was one of them.
When Shao Tianze got the invitation, he was in the hospital and Gu Changle was right next to him. Seeing the invitation in his hands, she said smilingly, “Who is this business family? They delivered the invitation to our door.”
In Gu Changle’s impression, the Lu Family had always been ignored. They were not one of those renowned families. Therefore, it was natural for Gu Changle to disdain the Lu Family.
However, after reading the invitation, Shao Tianze said, “Our family can not afford to offend the Lu Family now.”
Gu Changle knitted her brows, wondering, “What’s the Lu Family’s story?”
“You may not understand it.”
Shao Tianze didn’t want to tell it to Gu Changle.
But Gu Changle insisted, “Though my elder sister understood everything you told her, do you miss her now as she’s gone?”
Gu Changle spoke in an overbearing manner, which made Shao Tianze frown. However, there was nothing he could do but to coax her, “Why do you associate everything with Gu Changge?”
“You always promise me to let Yi and Miaomiao come to see me, but they have not come yet. What do you think I am? Do you really think I’m the kind of evil person that will kill the children?”
Gu Changle said with tears in her eyes, appearing sad.
But Shao Tianze just frowned on seeing Gu Changle like that. Then he reached out and wiped away the tears on Gu Changle’s face, comforting her, “It’s not that I don’t want Yi and Miaomiao to come to see you. It’s just that Yi and Miaomiao have been staying at school and it’s not easy to bring them back. When it’s time to bring them back, I’ll surely bring them to see you.”
Hearing Shao Tianze’s words, Gu Changle felt a bit better. But she still pressed her lips, asking, “Really?”
Gu Changle confirmed it with Shao Tianze again, and Shao Tianze readily promised.
After getting Shao Tianze’s promise, Gu Changle said, “I think you can bring Yi and Miaomiao to see me this Saturday.”
“The Lu Family will be holding the banquet this Saturday. They can’t come at that time.”
Gu Changle had a hard job to tell Shao Tianze the time, but Shao Tianze directly turned her down, which made her somewhat embarrassed. After a long while, Gu Changle said, “I want to attend the banquet.”
As for this, Shao Tianze didn’t refuse her. He replied, “Of course I’ll take you there. By then, I’ll make people gradually accept us being together.”
Gu Changle was in a bad mood. But after hearing that, she immediately felt much better.
In the past, Shao Tianze was not willing to make their relationship public.
But now, Shao Tianze was willing to take her to social situations.
Didn’t it show that now Shao Tianze was willing to make their relationship public and uncover her identity?
Gu Changle felt overjoyed.
Seeing that Gu Changle was smiling, Shao Tianze reminded her, “It was the Lu Family’s banquet and they are one of the most influential figures in Yuncheng, so you have to be fully prepared. Do you understand?”
Hearing Shao Tianze’s words, Gu Changle immediately nodded, answering, “I will.”
In the past, the one who accompanied Shao Tianze at public engagements was Gu Changge. Now Gu Changge had died, Gu Changle finally had the chance to accompany Shao Tianze on such occasions and be with him.
Time went on.
The Lu Family’s banquet had made waves in the upper class of Yuncheng.
Though anyone in Yuncheng had hardly heard of any memorable events going on in the Lu Family, everyone began to feel that the Lu Family couldn’t be underestimated as Lu Feng had been continually buying into media companies in Yuncheng.
After finishing sending all the invitations in batches, Lu Feng asked his assistant next to him, “Any news from the Song Family and the Shao Family?”
“Miss Song is now actively preparing for the banquet. It seems that she values it.”
Hearing that, Lu Feng smiled, replying, “So does the Chu Family know about this?”
“They should do. But after Chu Mochen died, the Chu Family doesn’t seem to contact Song Yunxuan often. And it seems that they do not associate with each other anymore.”
Lu Feng gave a dip of his head, saying sympathetically, “Song Yunxuan must be shrewd. Otherwise, she could not come out on top in the Song Family. Judging from the fact that she could recover from Chu Mochen’s death that quickly, she is not a sentimental woman.”
Hearing Lu Feng’s words, his assistant could not quite understand what he meant. After a long while, his assistant asked, “So what’s your plan, Mr. Lu?”
Being asked about plans, Lu Feng raised his head, looking at his assistant and saying, “Plans can not be made until the last second. I’ve heard that Gu Changge’s younger sister Gu Changle is also a beauty. Is that true?”
Hearing Lu Feng mentioned Gu Changle, the assistant nodded, answering, “Yes. But rumor has it that…”
“I don’t care about what rumors say. What’s important is that whether Gu Changle is of use to me.” Without waiting for his assistant to reply, Lu Feng directly said, “Miss Gu will also dress up for the banquet, right?”
“Maybe she will.” The assistant was not sure whether Gu Changle would dress up to go to the banquet. The question was vague.
But Lu Feng smiled, saying, “Since Miss Gu is a beauty and had such a dominant elder sister Gu Changge, she is surely not willing to be outdone.”
Women always carried themselves with great pride and dignity, especially those beauties from good families. They were even more proud and dignified.
Back when Gu Changge was alive, she took no notice of Lu Feng who was a son from such a small family.
Lu Feng had always wanted to see what kind of person Gu Changge was and wanted to get acquainted with such a legend.
However, something unexpected happened, which resulted in Gu Changge’s early death. Thus before Lu Feng returned to Yuncheng, Gu Changge had already gone.
But the good thing was that Gu Changge had a younger sister Gu Changle.
Lu Feng thought that Gu Changge should also be a beauty as her younger sister Gu Changle was such a pretty woman.
Thinking of this, Lu Feng felt that the evening banquet would get more and more intriguing.
Seeing that Lu Feng was smirking, the assistant gently sighed, feeling that there would be some new female victims.
Every time Mr. Lu smiled like this, something bad would happen.
Many people could make Mr. Lu interested, but few could keep him interested.
This was the reason why Mr. Lu had been single and unable to find a suitable woman to marry even though he had already been thirty-four years old.
The only women that could match Mr. Lu, an eligible bachelor, were the daughters of the Shao Family, the Song Family, and the Tan Family.
Whether Mr. Lu would start a relationship with one of the rich daughters was unknown.
It would be lucky for a rich daughter to be together with Mr. Lu…
Or it might be agonizing.
