Chapter 499: Chapter 499

“Then do you want your Uncle Zhuge and the others to follow us?” Elder Liu’s gaze was a little distant. He did not even dare to look at Chen Meng’er.

“Grandpa, don’t act like you have a guilty conscience. Didn’t you already know that I wouldn’t bring Uncle Zhuge and the others?” Chen Meng’er resisted the urge to roll her eyes and replied.

“Little Miss, you can bring us. You have to bring your personal guards.” Zhuge Yu was now much more reliable than Elder Liu.

Chen Meng’er thought for a moment. She guessed that if she did not agree to bring Zhou Yunjie and the other two, Zhuge Yu would definitely not agree to let her go alone.

The Qu family was holding a birthday banquet. In the capital, anyone with status and face would fight for an invitation. They wanted to get an invitation card and attend the Qu family’s birthday banquet hall.

However, not everyone could get an invitation from the Qu family.

The Qu family’s mansion in the capital was destined to be the most eye-catching place in the capital tonight. As the time for the banquet approached bit by bit, the people who held an invitation also entered the venue one by one.

“Why isn’t she here yet? Yaobing, are you sure that Uncle Wu said that she agreed?” Elder Qu stretched his neck to look.

“That’s what Uncle Wu said.” Qu Yaobing replied as he looked anxiously at the watch on his wrist.

The faces of the Qu family men all showed the same expression, attracting the attention of many people. They were whispering in the background. “What kind of big shot did the Qu family invite today? Look at Elder Qu and the rest, they are all craning their necks so much.”

“I don’t know either, I haven’t heard of anything. Then let’s watch carefully.”

Madam Qu was even more direct. She walked to Elder Qu’s side and asked, “Hubby, who are you waiting for? Hao Cheng’s birthday banquet is about to start, why are you all still standing here?”

“Ah, is it time yet?” Elder Qu, who was looking forward to Chen Meng’er, was startled by his wife’s appearance.

“Are you waiting for someone?” Madam Qu noticed her husband’s expression. Over the past few days, it felt like her husband and sons were being mysterious. When she asked them, they were all stammering and could not find say anything. Madam Qu thought about it and knew that her husband and children were hiding something from her.

“No.” Elder Qu, Qu Yaotao and the rest replied in unison.

This seemed a little abnormal. Elder Qu glared at his sons before he smiled and said to his wife, “We are waiting for someone. Marquis Yuwen and his grandson are coming, so I brought Yaotian and the rest to wait here. You also know that Marquis Yuwen’s grandson has an extraordinary status. We can’t afford to neglect him, right?” Elder Qu thought quickly and immediately found an excuse.

“Oh? Is that so? I have only heard of that grandson of the Yuwen family. I haven’t seen him before.” Madam Qu said, she turned her head and saw Marquis Yuwen and his wife walking in together. Behind them, there was a mixed-race boy with delicate features, but he did not look feminine at all. “Speak of the devil. Why aren’t you greeting him?” Madam Qu said as she went up to greet them with a smile.

When the teenage girls in the hall saw Yuwen Jing walking in, they all subconsciously paid attention to their clothes. Then, after making sure that there was nothing inappropriate around them, they looked at Yuwen Jing with their eyes filled with love. When Yuwen Jing’s gaze shifted in any direction, the girls in that direction would throw flirtatious glances at Yuwen Jing.

Yuwen Jing turned a blind eye to all of this. If it wasn’t for his grandfather’s request, saying that their family and the Qu family had always been on good terms, and that not attending would affect the relationship between the two families, he would not have cared. Therefore, Yuwen Jing changed into a formal suit and stood here. Thinking of the black suit he was wearing, a gentle light flashed in Yuwen Jing’s eyes. This suit was personally made by Chen Meng’er for him. When Chen Meng’er gave him this suit, he was going to be crushed to death by Elder Liu, Zhuge Yu, and the others. However, Yuwen Jing felt that it was worth it. Chen Meng’er had sewn it with her own hands, one stitch at a time.

Elder Qu did not want to move. The person he was waiting for had not appeared yet. How could he have the mood to deal with other things now. However, he did not dare to tell his wife the truth. After losing his daughter and his own granddaughter, his wife’s health had not been very good. Elder Qu knew that, his wife’s health could not withstand any more blows.

This was also the reason why Elder Qu still kept his wife in the dark.

“Dad, you guys go and take care of Uncle Yuwen and the rest. I will stay here and oversee the general situation.” Qu Yaobing had made up his mind. He was not going anywhere today and was just waiting for Chen Meng’er.

Looking at the stubborn expression on Qu Yaobing’s face, Elder Qu swallowed the words that he wanted to say to reprimand him. Forget it, all these years, this youngest son of his had been suffering in his heart and as a father, he understood it too. “Alright, let Yaobing stay. There has to be someone to look after the party after all.”

Madam Qu did not insist on having her youngest son follow her this time.

Chen Meng’er did not like to be late, but she also did not like to be early, especially at such an occasion that would make Chen Meng’er feel extremely bored after her rebirth.

Chen Meng’er was wearing a simple pink dress. This was designed by her for her to wear herself. It was simple, but it did not give off an ordinary feeling. Chen Meng’er did not plan to have such an occasion where she could outshine the others. She was going to the Qu family’s birthday banquet, but unlike those rich young ladies who were dressed in flamboyant clothes, she was not going there to hook up with men.

Chen Meng’er did not need to rely on men in her past life. Therefore, in this life, she did not need to either.

However, Chen Meng’er did not know that her appearance was destined to attract everyone’s attention the moment she appeared.
