Canada, Lu House.

Before the dinner party started, waves of people came and went at the gate of Lu's residence.

Mrs. Lu was originally a descendant of the nobles in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. She was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child. After marrying the wealthy Lu family, it can be described as a strong alliance. Social resources and connections have been perfectly integrated. Nouveau riche, when it comes to the old lady of the Lu family, almost everyone knows everyone, and it can be said that they respect and fear her at the same time.

"Master."

Lu Qihao was so busy in the hall that he didn't even have time to drink a glass of water, and all of this was naturally noticed by Mrs. Zhen. When he had a little leisure time, he poured a glass of freshly squeezed room temperature juice, Handed it to Lu Qihao's hand.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Lu Qihao put down the unfinished work for now, took the glass handed over by Mrs. Zhen, and thanked him softly.

"Young Master, you have checked with the master of ceremonies several times about the seating arrangement for this venue. They are also an experienced team, so there won't be many troubles if you think about it."

"Sister-in-law Zhen, you don't know something."

Lu Qihao picked up the cup, almost drank all the juice in the cup in one go, and then handed the cup back to Mrs. Zhen.

"The invitations sent out by the servants before have not received [-]% responses. There are also some guests who will bring their children, and they are not very clear about it. At least, let’s take the one you are familiar with, Mrs. Zhen.”

After speaking, Lu Qihao raised his right index finger, pointed out a name in the long and cumbersome attendance list, and handed it to Sister-in-law Zhen, motioning her to look over.

Finally, her gaze followed the direction of Lu Qihao's finger and landed on the thick roster. In an instant, Sister-in-law Zhen's face changed color.

"This……"

Sister-in-law Zhen looked hesitant to speak, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.

"Is this list correct?"

"What can be handed over to me is naturally unmissable. I have confirmed it repeatedly."

Lu Qihao gently closed the roster in his hand, and slowly placed it on the table in front of him.

"However, I remember that every time Madam held a birthday before, she never invited that person. Why is it so uncharacteristic this time? Could it be that the old lady has not read the roster in time?"

"Sister-in-law Zhen is joking. Even if she plays Pai Gow or gathers in the court, grandma will be very picky about the candidates, let alone such a grand [-]th birthday dinner."

"Then it doesn't even make sense? Before the old lady celebrated her birthday, that person was about to step into the threshold several times, but was blocked by the old lady's heart. I always heard the old lady say that anyone who wants to It is best not to involve him in public occasions, otherwise it will be bad for the Lu family's reputation."

"Ha ha……"

Hearing what Aunt Zhen said, Lu Qihao let out a sneer in his throat.

"Old man, we can see each other for a while, maybe it's because grandma has softened her mind this time, not to mention that he may have given grandma some enchanting soup. But I heard that he once Let me tell you, I will bring an important dance partner to this dinner today, thinking about it this way, grandma may also want to give this so-called dance partner a face, not necessarily."

"Hmm... When the young master said this, I kind of figured it out. It stands to reason that he is the eldest and should start a family... Eh, right? Speaking of dancing partners, why haven't I seen Ms. Sun until now?" What about it? Master is asking Miss Sun to be your dance partner tonight, right?"

Sister-in-law Zhen's words happened to hit Lu Qihao's thoughts.He raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was ten minutes before six o'clock. The person he sent to remind Sun Xiaoxiao didn't respond for a long time, and he didn't come back. It seemed that it was time to go for a walk by himself.

"Qi Hao, where are you going?"

At some point, Mrs. Lu had already arrived at the banquet hall, and the moment Lu Qihao turned around, she called out to Lu Qihao.

"Grandma? Why are you here?"

Turning his head around, Lu Qihao was really taken aback.According to the past situation, it was only the guests who waited hard for this Mrs. Lu. It can be said that they came out after a long wait, but today, this Mrs. Lu was at least half a month ahead of schedule. Attended for an hour, and dared to be in front of a large number of guests.

"Hey! Isn't this Mrs. Lu!"

"Long time no see, Mrs. Lu is still full of spring and heroism!"

"Lady Lu! I flew here from Los Angeles specially to celebrate your birthday. I want to ask for a few more drinks, haha..."

Mrs. Lu had just appeared in the center of the venue, and some guests who had entered the venue earlier swarmed up and surrounded her, including Lu Qihao, in a tight circle.

Lu Qihao was surrounded by the crowd at the very center, and there was no way out, so naturally it was difficult to move an inch.Surrounded by the crowd, there are all flattering faces eager to greet him, all of them grinning exaggeratedly at him, for fear that they will be lost in the crowd so that he can't see them.

"Grandma, let me..."

"What do you do first?"

Before Lu Qihao explained his intention of leaving, Mrs. Lu interrupted him long ago, completely seeing through his anxiety.

"There are so many guests here, do you think it's appropriate for you to leave? Besides, the people who are going to pick her up have already been dispatched. If you go again, do you want me, an old woman, to stay here to support the overall situation?"

Although Mrs. Lu's words were harsh, she kept her voice down as much as possible in front of people. It was so soft that it was almost like a whisper, only she and Lu Qihao could hear it. When she was speaking, the smile on her face was Never faded half a point.

"Besides, the banquet is about to start, do you want the whole room to wait for you two?"

In this situation, Lu Qihao was already on the verge of riding a tiger, so he had no choice but to stay here as Mrs. Lu said to support the situation.However, he was not without doubts in his heart. Although this Sun Xiaoxiao was usually stubborn, she was not a person who lost the chain. Why was it that such an important occasion was about to start, and she still couldn't be seen at all.

"Hey, I said you made me so beautiful that I don't even recognize the me in the mirror."

In the bedroom, Sun Xiaoxiao looked at the mirror, looked left and right, but was completely amazed by herself.

"Miss Sun is naturally beautiful, no matter how she transforms or wears, she will look good."

The maid standing in front of Sun Xiaoxiao carefully tied the pearl necklace around Sun Xiaoxiao's neck gently, then reached out and fiddled with the mirror to the middle seat.

"By the way, why didn't that girl come back after going out for so long? Would you like to go out and see if she has anything to do?"

Hearing this, the maid paused slightly when her finger touched Pearl, then smiled like a flower again, and said slightly to Sun Xiaoxiao.

"She said that she was in pain all by herself in the morning. She must have eaten something. She should be squatting in the toilet. After I help you dress up, I will go and see if she fell into the latrine. .”

"oh, I see."

Sun Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand, fiddled with her hair in the mirror, looked around shaking her head, and suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind.

"By the way, what time does the dinner party start tonight?"

"Miss Sun, the dinner party will start at 06:30."

"Oh."

Sun Xiaoxiao looked up at the clock hanging on the wall.

"It's only five fifty, and we still have more than half an hour. It's still time to change clothes. Let's continue."

"Okay, Miss Sun."

After she finished speaking, the corner of the maid's mouth was slightly raised, and a mysterious smile was fleeting.

"Master, it will be six o'clock in five minutes. The backstage lighting and sound engineer asked me to reconfirm with you whether the show will start on time at six o'clock."

The servant boy who anxiously came to urge Lu Qihao stood there anxiously, waiting for Lu Qihao's reply.But Lu Qihao was also restless in his heart.This damned Sun Xiaoxiao was still missing even at this time.Wanting to delay the time, seeing that the birthday guests have already arrived, there is no reason to continue delaying. In this situation, if it doesn't start, it will make Sun Xiaoxiao's lateness magnified, until Time can't end.

"Damn!"

Lu Qihao cursed in a low voice, but in desperation, he nodded slightly, signaling to him that the whole dinner party could start on time.

With Lu Qihao's consent, all backstage preparations were made, the lights and music were turned on tacitly at the same time, and according to the usual practice, the banquet started with Mrs. Lu's toast.

Mrs. Lu was speaking on the stage by herself, and there was continuous applause from the audience, but Lu Qihao didn't listen to a word. He raised his arms and looked at the watch from time to time, wishing he could rush to Sun Xiaoxiao immediately. room to go.

Lu Qihao secretly felt strange about the eloquent and lengthy speeches.The old lady of the Lu family seems to talk a lot today. She has been talking for nearly 15 minutes, and she still has no intention of stopping. On weekdays, she can talk for 10 minutes, which seems to have reached her limit.

"Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to an excellent employee of our Crown Group. I would like to thank him for his contributions to our Lu's industry, that is, the Black Rice Art Club, so that my grandson Lu Qihao can smoothly take over this outstanding employee. company. The person I am talking about is the general manager of Black Rice Art Club, Mr. Lu Qifeng."

Lu Qihao was not at all surprised to appear in this way. Lu Qihao already knew his appearance tonight.

Raising his hand and sweeping the watch in his hand again, Lu Qihao raised his head, and his eyes met Lu Qifeng who was slowly walking in the distance.But in an instant, Lu Qihao was completely stunned when he caught sight of the faces of the people around him.
