It wasn't until Zhou Ting got in the car with a group of men and left that Mu Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief. After a few minutes, his entire T-shirt was drenched with sweat, and his legs became softer than noodles. The same as before, trembling non-stop, relying on the pillars to barely stand up.

In the wilderness, there was no way to hail a car. Mu Xia walked a long way along the road before barely stopping a truck carrying fruit, begging the driver to take him back to the city.After finally getting home, Mu Xia hurriedly buckled all the locks on the door, checked all the windows, and drew the curtains tightly so that there was no light, before she collapsed on the sofa weakly.

The disc was still in his hand, and the four corners of the box were so hard that it hurt his palm.After a while, Mu Xia got up and walked to the computer, carefully inserted the disc into it——

It was a video without sound. It was a high-rise indoor scene shot through the window. There was a huge circular sofa in the middle of the picture. A pair of naked men and women were entangled on the sofa. The woman was very active, with her legs crossed Tightly hooking the man's back, the man is in good shape, with full and solid muscles, his shoulders and backs are constantly rising and falling with the rhythm of the body, the speed is getting faster and more intense, and finally reached the peak at once, and then weary Lie down on the woman.

At first, the man had his back to the window, and the woman's face was also covered, so she couldn't tell who she was. After a while, maybe the mobile phone on the coffee table rang, and the man reluctantly got up Going to answer the phone, both of them happened to be facing the direction of the window. Although the camera lens was not clear, Mu Xia still recognized it at a glance. They were the young master Lu Xiaocheng and the young lady Lu Xiaoyi of the Lu family!

Mu Xia's heart almost jumped into his throat, and he closed the laptop subconsciously. Those shocking images swirled in his mind for a long time and could not be dissipated. The identities of those two people made him even more flustered.He thinks he is very good at observing facial expressions, but he has met the Lu brothers and sisters several times before, but he has never noticed such an ulterior affection between this pair of men and women.

This feeling was like a water pipe bursting suddenly, and everything gushed out at once, making him confused and caught off guard, no matter how he tried to block it, it was ultimately futile.If he did what Zhou Ting said, then Lu Xiaocheng would definitely not let him go, but if he didn't do it, Zhou Ting would also not let him go, it's hard to say which one will end up more miserable.Are you really going to leave the island?No, he is not reconciled!He still doesn't want to give up on Lu Xiaoyan, let alone give up on the bright future he just saw a glimmer of hope in.Otherwise... go to Lu Xiaoyan for protection?But in that case, he would have to tell the truth about his complicated relationship with Zhou Ting and Lu Xiaocheng, as well as his previous actions...

what to do?What can I do to escape this catastrophe?What should I do?

While sitting there in a daze, the phone rang suddenly, and Mu Xia almost fell to the ground in fright. He picked it up tremblingly and looked, it was Lu Xiaoyan!

It turned out that Lu Xiaoyan was temporarily released by his business partner, and he happened to be nearby, so he wanted to ask him out for a drink at night.After thinking about it, Mu Xia agreed.There are not a few days left until the birthday banquet, no matter what the decision is, it is better to check Lu Xiaoyan's tone first.

Even though Mu Xia had carefully dressed up, Lu Xiaoyan still noticed the bruises on his face as soon as they met, and asked with concern: "How did you do it?"

Mu Xia hastily raised her hand to cover it, and said with a shy smile: "It's nothing, I was talking on the phone when I was walking, and I accidentally bumped into a pillar. Brother Xiaoyan, don't laugh at me."

"Tsk!" Lu Xiaoyan immediately made an extremely disgusted expression, "Why don't you be careful, do you know what is the most valuable thing in your body? Isn't it this face? Just go find someone else."

Hearing this, Mu Xia's face turned pale instantly, and even his eyes became uncomfortable.Of course he knew it was just a joke, but this joke happened to touch the most sensitive and fragile nerve in his heart.Yes, if he loses this face, not only will he lose Lu Xiaoyan, but he will also lose the opportunity to work, and lose the bright future that he can feel proud of in the future.

If he was still a little hesitant before, then at this moment he is completely determined, no matter what, Zhou Ting's threats cannot be made a reality.Fortunately, fortunately, the two brothers of the Lu family have always been at odds with each other. If they can successfully attack Lu Xiaocheng, it will be regarded as helping Lu Xiaoyan in a certain way.Thinking of this, Mu Xia was eager to try.

Noticing the slight change in Mu Xia's expression, Lu Xiaoyan asked casually, "What are you thinking?"

"Oh, I didn't think about it..." Mu Xia smiled softly, "By the way, Brother Xiaoyan, have you been busy recently?"

Lu Xiaoyan answered truthfully: "Haven't you heard? My father is having a big birthday. He has been busy these days, he has to taste wine, order menus, and arrange the venue in advance. It's really the first and the second big. In the past, this kind of fine-grained Fang Yao is in charge of all the work, who would have thought that she is pregnant, but the eldest brother just happened to have an accident, there is no other way, so I have to take over."

Mu Xia pretended to be very curious: "There should be quite a few people invited that day, right?"

Lu Xiaoyan nodded helplessly: "Well, Mr. Lu has a good face, and he has basically invited everyone who can be called famous in the Lidao."

Mu Xia's long eyelashes fluttered in front of Lu Xiaoyan: "Brother Xiaoyan, can you... take me to see it too?"

"What are you going to do?" Lu Xiaoyan looked at Mu Xia puzzled, "There are too many people and chaos, and the food is not tasty, and you have to deal with this and that with a smiling face, it's annoying to think about it."

Mu Xia hurriedly explained: "In our business, connections are very important. I want to know more friends, so that it will be easier to get notifications in the future."

"That's it, that's good. I'll send you an invitation later." Lu Xiaoyan agreed very simply, and didn't doubt a single word. Mu Xia's full of reasons were prepared in vain.

According to Lu Xiaoyan, originally he wanted to hold the birthday banquet in the hotel, and as for the process of answering, let the public relations company handle it directly, which should save a lot of trouble, but his father Lu Yuanteng didn't agree with anything and insisted on According to the usual practice in previous years, the banquet will be held at home.In the end, thanks to the help of Dai Zhiyou and Lin Guangle, Lu Xiaoyan was able to successfully complete the preparations.

The reason why Lu Yuanteng attaches great importance to this birthday banquet is actually his reason. The eldest son Lu Xiaocheng is the successor he has already established in his heart. Although Lu Xiaocheng and him have not achieved much in the past few years in Tenghua, he is cautious and prudent , can be regarded as a qualified conservative king, but this time because of the bribery incident with government officials and the big conflict with the Zhou family, Tenghua inevitably raised a lot of doubts about him.With a son who is 99 years old and always worrying about [-] years old, Lu Yuanteng wants to take this opportunity of the birthday party to create a relaxed and harmonious atmosphere. By the way, he announces the good news that his youngest son and Miss Sheng's family are about to get engaged, so as to divert everyone's attention. Push the eldest son to the position again.

When the banquet was about to start, Lin Guangle ran to the corner to answer the phone. After the phone call, he walked up to Lu Xiaoyan with a heavy face, leaned closer and whispered: "Xiaoyan, take some time to check the instant news. Something happened. Cheng Che died."

"What?" Lu Xiaoyan couldn't believe it, "When did it happen? How did you die?"

Lin Guangle said with regret: "Just now, I heard that he committed suicide by jumping off a building, and died on the spot."

Lu Xiaoyan frowned slightly: "No wonder..."

No wonder he didn't have a singer named Cheng Che in his memory in his previous life. If this was Cheng Che's fate, then Cheng Che should have passed away before he knew Ling Xi in his previous life.During the three years they lived together, Ling Xi never talked about her experiences, nor did she ever mention that she once had a friend named Cheng Che.

Lin Guangle is still waiting for Lu Xiaoyan's next words: "Huh? No wonder why?"

Lu Xiaoyan quickly recovered from his contemplation: "It's nothing... Where's Ling Xi? He's not affected, right?"

"Who knows, do you think he will share his feelings with others?" Lin Guangle spread his hands and made a helpless expression, "I called Baomei just now, and she said that Lingxi had a night show tonight, and it might take all night. It’s good to be busy, but when you’re busy, you won’t be able to pay attention to the news.”

Lu Xiaoyan rolled his eyes at him, then stretched out his hand and patted him hard on the shoulder: "Drink less later, come with me to visit the class at night."

Lin Guangle said in embarrassment, "Ah—"

"That's it." Lu Xiaoyan didn't give Lin Guangle a chance to speak at all, "You are the boss of Tianxing, you make arrangements."

Lin Guangle wanted to say something more, but suddenly there was a commotion from the direction of the stairs in the hall. It turned out that Lu Yuanteng, the protagonist of the banquet, walked down slowly holding the hand of his little mother Fang Yao.

After coming in front of everyone and exchanging greetings one by one, Lu Yuanteng cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Everyone, thank you very much for coming. Please forgive me for any poor greetings. In fact, apart from my birthday, there are a few more things to do today. I want to share the happy event with all my friends. I think everyone should have heard that the dog Xiaoyan is dating the eldest lady of the Sheng family, Sheng Kuang. After a while, the two of them will hold an engagement ceremony. I hope you can take the time to attend. Other than that Besides, there is good news about my wife..." As he spoke, he cast his eyes on Fang Yao's slightly swollen belly, and couldn't hide his complacent look on his face.

The guests understood instantly, and hurriedly complimented: "Brother Yuan Teng is really old and strong, good luck, good luck, this is three blessings, and congratulations to Mrs. Lu!"

"Ashamed, ashamed." Lu Yuanteng smiled pretendingly self-effacingly, "I am very happy that the Lu family can have a baby, no matter how hard your wife is, so I hereby announce that in the future, whether A Yao's child is male or female, I They will give [-]% of Tenghua's shares as rewards to their mother and son, and please help to be a witness."

As soon as the words were finished, the elder sister Lu Xiaoyi who was originally sitting on the sofa in the corner suddenly stood up and glared at the little mother viciously, with anger, disdain, and hesitating struggle in her eyes.At the critical moment, the eldest brother pulled her arm with his hand to stop her further movement.The elder sister's chest was heaving violently, and it took a long time before she sat back on the sofa, picked up the wine glass and gulped down the red wine, then sat there with her arms folded, still staring coldly at the father and mother at the other end of the hall.

The eldest brother is also looking at the little mother from afar, but unlike his sister who is burning with anger, he is much calmer, with a kind of determination and confidence that is gloating and waiting for a good show-yes, let this bitch live for a while Let's live, when the child is born, you can check the dna, and wait until the green hat on the father's head is confirmed, and see if this woman can still laugh - presumably the elder brother thinks so in his heart.

Strange to say, all the praying mantises in the world who are staring at the cicadas are not aware that there is a sparrow watching behind them.

According to the procedure, before the banquet started, the father's birthday celebration video would be played.Lu Xiaoyan pretended to glance around casually for a week, but there was no sign of Mu Xia in the crowd, he was calm on the surface, but secretly snapped his fingers in his heart, it's fine, everything is under control.

The lights dimmed, warm and soothing music sounded in the hall, and on the huge display screen, father's ordinary and busy day was playing.From the wife helping to straighten the tie before going out in the morning, to joking with the driver in the car without airs, then the endless meetings in the company, seeing endless customers, and then returning home in the evening, the virtuous wife cooks all kinds of dishes by herself Home-cooked food, the children happily sat at the dining table with him, eating and chatting, laughing constantly...Facing the camera, the father said: "This is my life. It seems that every day is the same, but every day is full of joy. A different kind of happiness."

In fact, everyone knows that the state shown in the film must be fake, but it does not prevent everyone from being infected by these fake effects, and they all gave warm applause.

After the clip ended, the lights came back on, and the father and mother, still holding hands sweetly, walked into the crowd, exchanged greetings, and toasted everyone cordially and thoughtfully.Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, the chatter, laughter, and clashing sounds of glassware in the hall stopped abruptly in an instant. The whole hall seemed to be thrown into an icehouse, and even the atmosphere was frozen.

The father raised his head suspiciously, followed everyone's gaze and turned to look at the big screen behind him. The standby screen that had stopped on the screen restarted at some point. This time the screen was silent but intense. The one is his most valued son, Lu Xiaocheng, and the other is his most beloved daughter, Lu Xiaoyi. This pair of biological brothers and sisters with the same father and mother are going crazy* like animals with shamelessness and disobedience... This scene came too suddenly , It was too shocking, my father didn't even have time to erase the stylized smile on his face, the glass full of red wine was still held high in the air.

After staying there for half a minute, the elder brother was the first to react and staggered towards the direction of the control room, while the elder sister kept screaming and scratching at her hair with both hands, kicking and kicking with her high-heeled feet while screaming. Looking at the decorations around him, he went crazy.Some guests stared dumbfounded, the wine in the glass spilled all over their bodies without realizing it, and some people forgot to smoke with cigars in their hands, sparks ignited the skirt of the female partner.The father tried to control the scene, but just after shouting two words, he couldn't stop bending down and covering his chest in pain, while the little mother pretended to rub his back anxiously and said some innocuous comfort talk.The servants and the waiters who were temporarily hired were in a mess. Sometimes they obeyed the elder brother's call and ran to turn off the equipment. Sometimes they comforted the elder sister in a panic. Emergencies everywhere.

Lu Xiaoyan raised his wrist and looked at his watch. Yes, it was much faster and smoother than expected.He took a sip of the wine, handed the cup to the waiter, straightened his suit, moved his eyebrows, eyes and facial features one by one, then put on a very worried expression, and strode towards his father...
