Chapter 280 279. Marriage with Chen Ya
In Lu Qingxuan's eyes at Old Master Lu's birthday banquet, although the Lu family members kept their true emotions hidden, everyone explained themselves in the most appropriate way.She can see 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 since she tried to light the fireworks in the suburbs of Beijing that day.
She didn't want to act like she really wanted to see that person, but in fact she was waiting for Chen Ya to contact her every day, and this wait lasted for half a month.
Mrs. Lu's birthday banquet is imminent, but Chen Ya is 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 has gone," Lu Ruixiang said, "He left in a hurry, and we don't even know if he's still in the capital..."
"In other words, he ran away, right?" Lu Qingxuan said emotionlessly, "Then he doesn't plan to attend the old lady Lu's birthday banquet tomorrow?"
"That's definitely not the case. He said that he will attend the birthday banquet."
"He should really attend," Lu Qingxuan's voice was still cold, "His seat is at the front, the table closest to the old man, and that seat is always empty, so it's not very good-looking."
Lu Ruixiang didn't know that Chen Ya's position was arranged at the front, but she was a little surprised when she found out, and asked:
"Why is he sitting there? Isn't he sitting in the side hall with our family?"
"Grandma thinks highly of him."
Lu Qingxuan just said so simply.But it cannot be said that there was no threat in her words.
She didn't tell Lu Ruixiang that Chen Ya's seat was actually due to her arrangement and various coincidences, which caused Lu Ruixiang to think about it after listening, and directly gasped.
"Then, the seat of our family..."
"Your family is still sitting in the side hall." Lu Qingxuan dispelled all Lu Ruixiang's illusions with one sentence.
Lu Ruixiang pinched the phone, her knuckles turned white due to too much force, and her palms were covered with sweat. She said dryly:
"We will definitely find Chen Ya and ask him to attend on time. However, we really can't contact him recently. If he can't attend the birthday banquet tomorrow, can you adjust his behavior?"
"Adjustment? How to adjust? Do you know who is sitting at that table? Qin Yunchu, Gu Yuqing... If you adjust, how complicated it will become, have you ever thought about it? It may even cause trouble with Grandma Go. I don't want my grandma to know about it."
Lu Ruixiang was so nervous that her breathing became uneven, and she quickly said, "Okay, we will definitely find him."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Qingxuan pulled an evil smile from the corner of his mouth.
She knew that because of this phone call, Lu Ruixiang would definitely try her best to put pressure on Chen Ya.But this can't be blamed on Lu Qingxuan, it's all his own fault - who made him disappear?
But Lu Ruixiang, who finished talking with her, focused on something else entirely.
She is a side branch of the Lu family, and she is not as well-informed as other Lu family members. This is the first time she knows that Gu Yuqing will also come to the old lady Lu's birthday banquet.
And the Lu family actually arranged Chen Ya at Gu Yuqing's table, which is enough to show how high Chen Ya's status in the hearts of the grandma and the others has risen in the short 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 her, and asked them to do their best to contact Chen Ya.
Apart from Chen Hai gnashing his teeth with jealousy, her small family meeting didn't achieve any results, and Chen Ya still couldn't get in touch.
Everyone who called Chen Ya couldn't get through, and they didn't reply to his messages, as if they were missing.
Except Lu Qianzi.
Behind everyone's backs, Lu Qianzi quietly sent a message to Chen Ya:
"You really don't plan to come tomorrow?"
After a while, a message quickly replied:
"I'm dealing with a serious matter. But it should be over by tomorrow."
Seeing this line of words, Lu Qianzi turned off the phone screen calmly.
Chen Ya had never used "serious" to describe anything, which made Lu Qianzi a little worried.
Moreover, even if he finished dealing with this matter, would he appear at the birthday banquet?
He didn't say it.
……
The suspense of whether Chen Ya would show up was kept until the day of the birthday banquet.
At six o'clock in the evening, Mingyue Tower.
The red carpet paved the way, brocades were served on the table, and the lights were decorated.
Crowds in twos and threes came dressed up, Rolls Royce, Porsche, and luxury cars from all walks of life drove into the parking lot.
When passers-by saw this battle, they were all startled and confused—which celebrity in the capital was holding a party?Judging by the number of these cars, at least half of the wealthy families in the smaller circle have come here.
Their predictions were wrong.Because more than half of the wealthy families from the small circle came.
All the wealthy families in the capital circle have come here.
Mingyue Building was completed 10 years ago, and it has been 10 years since now. The owner of the 85th floor restaurant has billions of dollars in assets. At this time, he is standing at the entrance of the lobby with his hands rubbed and bowed, greeting every guest who comes here.
Even in the entire history of Mingyue Building after its completion, today can be regarded as one of the most grand days.
Even the most ordinary Lu family's children unconsciously puffed 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 this make people not proud?
"Ding!"
The door of the sightseeing elevator opened, and there was a rhythmic sound of high heels touching the ground. Lu Qingxuan walked out of the elevator surrounded by many people.
At this time, the people standing in the corridor saw Lu Qingxuan, their eyes lit up.
Today's Lu Qingxuan is dressed up, she changed her previous hairstyle, and made her hair into a dignified yet gorgeous lady's hairstyle. She is wearing a long skirt that looks like a European court aristocrat's attire. The fluffy skirt flutters, making her like Princess.
She stepped on crystal high-heeled shoes, and her well-proportioned calves were as white and flawless as jade. It may be because it was cold outside just now, and her ankles were a little red, but it made her jade legs look even more attractive.
In the entire corridor, no matter it was the waiters, servants, managers, or the children of other aristocratic families, wealthy businessmen, and rich people, all their eyes were on Lu Qingxuan, and they lingered on her face like a flower of the high mountains.
"Miss Lu, this way you go."
"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.
All she wanted to know now was what happened to Chen Ya.
"Miss Lu?"
"Ah, it's you."
Lu Qingxuan's gaze collided with someone who was also searching for something.
It was Liu Ruying.
Today's Liu Ruying was wearing a black dress and long dress, her slender figure was not much better than that of Lu Qingxuan.She was already very good-looking, but with the appropriate amount of makeup on her face, she was even more glamorous.
Liu Ruying came as a representative of the Liu family.Among the aristocratic families, although the strength of the Liu family is slightly weaker, due to the special relationship between the Liu family and the Lu family, people from the Liu family are also placed in quite important positions.
After seeing Liu Ruying, Lu Qingxuan walked over and said, "Did you find Chen Ya?"
"No." Liu Ruying shook her head dejectedly, "Maybe he won't come."
"That won't work."
"Actually, for me, it's fine if he doesn't come, so as to avoid... embarrassment." Liu Ruying said seriously.
Lu Qingxuan didn't know about her engagement with Chen Ya, so she gave her a strange look.
"I know where your seat is, come with me."
"En." Liu Ruying nodded.
Two beautiful girls of the same level walked towards the main hall, one behind the other, attracting everyone's attention.
Both girls have the same slender figure, amazingly long legs, and each has their own good looks, so they are naturally easy to attract people's attention, but their minds are not on others.
It is still early to leave the banquet, and there are not many people in the main hall. Most of the people who came here early are the children of the Lu family. empty.
Lu Qingxuan was about to invite Liu Ruying to a seat, but she saw Grandma and Committee Member Gao from a distance, so she and Liu Ruying came up to greet the two elders.
As soon as she saw Liu Ruying, Grandma smiled and said, "This girl is so beautiful, which family are you from?"
Liu Ruying replied politely: "I belong to the Liu family."
"Are you the eldest or the second?"
Liu Ruying hesitated for a while, and said, "It's from everyone."
"Are you still studying?"
"Yes, studying as an undergraduate at Peking University."
Grandma Tai smiled even wider, took her hand and said: "Yes, she looks very dignified, talks well, and has a good education. Our Lu family and Liu family had a good relationship in the past, and we saw that the next generation of the Liu family is more promising than us. I'm happier when my children are promising."
Liu Ruying repeatedly thanked Grandma for her concern, and Grandma said: "The old man has always cared for the juniors of your Liu family as if they were his own. I remember, he even made a marriage promise to your family. Is it you?"
Liu Ruying's face turned red, "It's me."
Lu Qingxuan looked at her in surprise, she had only heard of this relative before, but she didn't know that Liu Ruying was the one who got married.
"The one who got married is from Lu Ruixiang's family. I also saw that child. He is very talented. Have you seen him?"
Lu Qingxuan's mood suddenly sank.Liu Ruying's voice became smaller and smaller: "I've seen it."
"That's good, that's good," Grandma Tai nodded repeatedly, looked at Lu Qingxuan again, and said, "Qingxuan, you have worked hard these days."
Lu Qingxuan forced a smile, and said: "It's not hard work, family affairs are my own affairs, and you should be tired."
She herself felt that her voice was hollow, as if floating on the surface of the world.
"You don't need to work hard today. Just enjoy the banquet, just like the daughter of the Liu family. You don't need to do other chores."
"Yes." Lu Qingxuan nodded.
Grandma held Lu Qingxuan's hand, she looked distressed, and said:
"Actually, in your generation, I value you the most. It's just that you have a strong temper and refuse to bow your head. In the future, you will have to work harder than others. But with your personality, it is also the easiest to make a career. of."
After hearing this, Lu Qingxuan calmed down a little, and said, "Grandma, I don't think it's hard. Everything is based on others. For me, it's easier because I'm used to it."
Old lady Yu said with a smile: "This child...you haven't realized the hard work I said. When you get to my age, you will understand everything when you look back. However, children and grandchildren have their own blessings." , my old lady will not talk too much about your thoughts."
Some Lu family children stood by, watching the old lady holding Lu Qingxuan's hand and whispering softly, they couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Lu Qingxuan contributed a lot to this birthday banquet, and the old lady likes it. In the future, if there are any good things in the family, she will be given priority.
Of course, Lu Qingxuan herself is also good enough, and her blessings are beyond the envy of others.
Lu Qingxuan remembered something again, and said to Mrs. Yu: "Grandma, have you seen Chen Ya today?"
Grandma Tai said, "Chen Ya? I haven't seen it before."
Lu Qingxuan frowned, and seemed to be talking to himself: "He hasn't shown up for several days, and I don't know if he will come to the birthday banquet today..."
When Commissioner Gao heard this, he was immediately displeased, and said aside: "What day is it today, why can't he come?"
"I'm just afraid that something will happen to him that won't let him go. If he can't come, he will delay something really important." Lu Qingxuan hurriedly helped Chen Ya make up for it.
Grandma frowned.She has a headache for this rebellious Chen Ya.
She shook her hand and said, "Don't worry about him. If he doesn't come, then he won't come. I'll let someone arrange it. Go and take your seats."
Lu Qingxuan and Liu Ruying said goodbye together, and returned to their seats. After sitting down for a long time, the two asked each other at the same time:
"Who is your marriage with?"
"Where did Chen Ya go?"
Both of them had a meal, and then Liu Ruying answered first: "According to Aunt Lu Ruixiang's family, I will marry Chen Ya."
Fortunately, Lu Qingxuan was sitting, otherwise, she would not be able to stand still now.
She forced a smile and said, "I've heard that there was such a period of marriage with fingertips. I was still wondering who would have such a life experience like a romantic drama. It turned out that it was you. By the way, Chen Ya and his do you know?"
"He knows." Liu Ruying nodded, "But he didn't take it to heart."
Speaking of this, Liu Ruying still felt a little resentment.
From her point of view, Chen Ya didn't take this marriage seriously, nor did he take himself seriously.
After seeing Chen Ya, she once had the kind of erotic dream that only a young girl would have for a few days - after all, Chen Ya's appearance is still lethal.
But soon, her erotic dream was shattered by Chen Ya's uncomprehending behavior of a straight man.
Lu Qingxuan bit her lip and smiled forcedly: "That is to say, you both knew from the beginning that you are each other's marriage partner? I didn't know until today. You are also considered... very strange."
Liu Ruying looked at her expression, and suddenly said, "Do you have feelings for Chen Ya?"
"Ah?" Lu Qingxuan suddenly sat up straight, immediately turned her face and said, "What are you talking about, why do you think so?"
"do not have it?"
"No," Lu Qingxuan tidied up her expression and mood, "I just feel like I've been cheated."
Liu Ruying looked at her silently.Her reaction couldn't be more obvious, how could she not know what she was thinking?
You can lie to me, don't fool yourself.
Liu Ruying said: "Now it seems that my marriage is not important anymore, and the old man may have forgotten about it. Maybe in the end, no one will mention it."
Lu Qingxuan thought blankly for a while, and finally shook her head.
The relationship between the Lu family and the Liu family is well known, and she doesn't think Mrs. Lu didn't take this marriage seriously.
But on the bright side, even if Mrs. Lu took it seriously, the two of them might not get married.
After all, it is a legal society now, if the two of them are not interested, no one can force them to marry.
"By the way, Chen Ya hasn't shown up these days," Lu Qingxuan said, "Do you have any contact with him?"
Liu Ruying hesitated for a moment, and said, "He asked me to help with some things."
"What? He's still in contact with you?" Lu Qingxuan's eyes lit up.
"I don't know what is the use of what he asked me to do. I only know that it has something to do with the recent rumor about Taimei Group."
Lu Qingxuan frowned: "Is it about the boss of Taimei Group? That incident feels quite nonsensical, shouldn't it be true?"
The "that incident" of the boss of Taimei Group that the two people said refers to a rumor that was recently on the hot search and was immediately taken down——
Zuo Wenzong, the boss of Taimei Group, has been arrested on suspicion of "treason".
This news briefly caused an uproar within the Lu family, because, after all, the Lu family is the major shareholder of Taimei Group and has important connections in terms of funds.
Sure enough, after the news, the stock price of Taimei Group immediately began to fluctuate and decline, but this decline was only temporary and it rebounded soon.
So the Lu family also thought that this was just fake news.
After all, the word "treason" sounds too sensational.
When Lu Qingxuan heard the word "treason" for the first time, she almost subconsciously thought it was a rumor and was waiting to refute it.
After all, this kind of rumor is ridiculous when you think about it——Zuo Wenzong, the boss of a company, how could he have anything to do with the word treason?
Ten thousand steps back, even if Zuo Wenzong really got some important information about the country and used it to seek refuge with external forces, what does it have to do with Chen Ya?
At best, Chen Ya is just the boss of another company, and his size may not be comparable to that of Taimei. What does Zuo Wenzong's matter have to do with him?
Lu Qingxuan said: "Is he planning to use this rumor to speculate and find a way to get some benefits?"
"No." Liu Ruying just stared blankly at the direction of the main hall door, "He asked me to collect some information. I feel, as if, someone from the state department is looking for Chen Ya's help..."
"Huh?" Lu Qingxuan felt that the more she said, the more outrageous she became.
"Hey, Miss Lu, Liu Xiaohua, long time no see."
On the side, Wu Zun came over knocking melon seeds, and sat next to the two of them.
Don't look at Wu Zun like this, in fact, Wu Zun is also a child of a serious family, otherwise he would not easily mix with Xu Dashao, Xia Yingji and others.
It's just that his painting style is different from that of other people. He considers himself a geek and never wears a suit or leather shoes. Even on this formal occasion today, he only wears a jacket.
Although his jacket is worth tens of thousands of dollars, it still looks very rustic.
"You came quite early." Lu Qingxuan nodded at him.
"There's really nothing to do at home, so you can come over early to have fun." Wu Zun said.
Seeing Wu Zun's face, Lu Qingxuan suddenly remembered something again, and whispered to Liu Ruying:
"I remembered. Some time ago, I had a chat with Chen Ya. He told me a piece of information. I found it very interesting. I can share it with you."
