Chapter 77

To attend the banquet, you need to wear formal clothes. When Jiang Liucheng came, she only packed a few casual clothes.

Originally, he wanted his agent to send him a set, but Roland Norte, the brand he endorsed, sent him several sets of haute couture suits, which were basically only worn once or twice.

Who would have thought that the next morning, a group of people suddenly came to the door.

Jiang Liucheng was brushing her teeth and washing her face when she suddenly heard a knocking sound from outside.

He hurriedly finished brushing his teeth, rinsed his saliva, opened the door and walked out, and saw a group of people dragging clothes hangers into the room next to him.

There are all kinds of men’s clothing hanging on the hangers, including formal wear for public occasions, and casual wear for home wear. There are many types, and even the same style has different colors.

Jiang Liucheng stood there blankly, watching them move the hangers into the room one by one.

He thought these were Qin Lu’s clothes, so he didn’t care too much.

He went back to his room and continued to wash his face. When he changed his clothes and walked out of the room, he happened to see Qin Lu who was out running.

Jiang Liucheng saw that he was sweating and said before he opened his mouth, “Go and change your clothes first.”

The weather is cold now, and it is easy to catch a cold when the clothes are wet.

Qin Lu touched the fluffy hair on his head, “Okay, wait for me.”

Jiang Liucheng didn’t wait long, but within three minutes, Qin Lu came out with a change of clothes, a white knitted sweater on his upper body, and Li became homely and gentle.

“By the way, I just saw the housekeeper brought a group of people to get a lot of new clothes, just next door.”

“Well, I saw them when they came.” Qin Lu took his hand, “Let’s take a look at your clothes.”

The two walked into the next room, and Jiang Liucheng realized that the next door was actually a large cloakroom.

“You just said my clothes, aren’t they yours?”

Qin Lu smiled and said, “Of course it’s not mine. The villa already has my clothes. These were sent to you by my mother.”

The space inside the cloakroom is very large, more than twice the size of the house he and Guo Qifan rented. The clothes delivered in the morning have been neatly hung on the hangers by the servants.

Only when you walk in can you see the obvious difference. On the hanger to the right of Jiang Liucheng, there are clothes in three colors of black, white and gray, all of which belong to Qin Lu.

On his left side, in addition to black, white and gray, there are other bright colors of clothes of various kinds.

“I originally wanted someone to bring you some clothes, but who would have known that my mother moved faster than me.” Qin Lu smiled, “He may not know what color you like to wear, so he will have each style sent over. If my mother didn’t like you, she wouldn’t have done it to this extent.”

Qin Lu walked to a wardrobe full of suits, “These are new products from all luxury brands. They are bought according to your size. Pick a suit you like and wear it to the banquet tomorrow night.”

Because the time is short, there is no way to customize it. Otherwise, with Ms. Long’s character, she will only let people customize it according to the size of Jiang Liucheng.

“Too many.” For the first time, Jiang Liucheng experienced the real luxury of the rich. Fortunately, he didn’t choose a difficult disease, so he quickly picked a black set, “Just this one.”

Qin Lu saw that he chose the Roland Norte brand, “Don’t you want to try it on from other brands?”

Jiang Liucheng shook his head: “The agent said that I am now the spokesperson of Lora Norte, and I can’t wear clothes from other luxury brands casually, and Roland Norte’s clothes are very comfortable to wear.”

Qin Lu didn’t insist when he heard the words. He reached out and touched his head again, “Then wear this suit and go down to breakfast first. My mother will have to wait for a long time.”

Jiang Liucheng looked up, “Auntie is waiting for us to have breakfast?”

Qin Lu met his puzzled eyes and smiled mysteriously: “I guess I want you to praise her.”

Jiang Liucheng nodded clearly. After getting along with him yesterday, he already vaguely knew what kind of character Ms. Long was.

After the two of them went down, they saw Ms. Long sitting at the dining table, drinking coffee slowly and reading the newspaper.

Hearing the footsteps, Ms. Long didn’t lift her head, but her ears moved.

The housekeeper brought the breakfast for the two of them. Because he didn’t know what Jiang Liucheng likes to eat, the kitchen prepared a lot, including Chinese breakfast and Western breakfast.

Just as Jiang Liucheng was about to speak, Qin Lu picked up a cup of soy milk and put it in front of him, “Drink some soy milk first to replenish water.”

Jiang Liucheng had to stop what he was going to say for a while, and picked up the cup to drink.

Qin Lu graciously brought him several kinds of snacks and said to the housekeeper, “In the future, we will serve Chinese-style breakfast. He doesn’t eat Western-style breakfast very much.”

“Okay.” The butler replied.

Ms. Long put down the coffee that was almost bottomed out, and glanced at her son, neither salty nor weak, probably only the two parties knew what it meant.

When she was almost done eating, Jiang Liucheng said, “Auntie, Qin Lu told me that the clothes in the morning were delivered by your order, thank you, it’s the first time I’ve seen so many new clothes, but I can’t wear them that much. many.”

Ms. Long smiled and said, “It’s okay, there will be more in the future, just get used to it. If you have a brand you like, you can tell your aunt.”

Jiang Liucheng stopped persuading him when he heard this. This is the other party’s living habit, and he can’t force the other party to change.

When Qin Lu also finished eating, Ms. Long asked the two to go to the living room with her, saying that she had something serious to tell them.

The two followed to the living room and sat down opposite Ms. Long.

“You really plan to be together?” Ms. Long asked seriously, her expression a little serious.

Jiang Liucheng secretly said that this part was finally here, and he knew that it would not be so easy to pass. Although Qin Lu said that his mother liked him, he felt that ordinary mothers should not accept it so quickly.

“Auntie, Qin Lu and I are already together. After dating for a while, we will find a suitable time to get married.”

Qin Lu also said: “We have already considered it. If you consider the issue of the heir, you can adopt one in the future. I remember that the Long family has a lot of offshoots, so there should be no problem in adopting one.”

Ms. Long was expressionless, “These are things in the future. I will consider them later. There is another thing at the moment.”

“What else?”

Ms. Long said: “Tomorrow night’s banquet, the old guy will bring his illegitimate son to attend. We can’t lose to them whether we are people or momentum.”

Qin Lu: “So what?”

Ms. Long continued: “So, don’t call me auntie during the process tomorrow night.”

The smile on Qin Lu’s face gradually disappeared, and he frowned, “Why don’t you call auntie?”

Ms. Long said calmly: “I can be the same as you. He will call me whatever you call me. The three of us are of the same mind, and it will break the gold.”

Qin Lu: “…”

Jiang Liucheng: “?”

—

Time quickly came to the banquet on the second night, which was an annual Peony Charity Dinner, and the invited guests were all famous people from high society.

Before the banquet time came, many guests had already arrived one after another, and all kinds of limousines and sports cars were parked outside the art gallery where the banquet was held.

At seven o’clock in the evening, a Maybach stopped at the gate of the art gallery, and two waiters immediately stepped forward to open the door.

A tall man got down from the back seat. The man’s eyebrows were deep, his facial features were sharp, and his slender body lines were perfectly outlined under a fitted suit.

The waiter immediately recognized the identity of the man. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to recognize the man, because the man is so famous.

Although he announced his retirement in public a few months ago, it is impossible for everyone to forget in such a short period of time.

The waiter originally thought that Emperor Qin might just be a joke when he went home to inherit the family business, or that the so-called family business was just a little money, but he didn’t expect to see each other on such an occasion.

Just when the waiter was stunned, Jiang Liucheng got down from the other door.

Qin Lu waited for him to come over and walked in with him.

Until their figures slowly disappeared, the waiter finally reacted.

“Fuck, it turns out that Emperor Qin’s family is a famous family.” Anyone who can come to this Peony Charity Dinner is a celebrity in the business world. This kind of person is not as simple as a little money in the family. For a dinner of this level, there are Money may not be able to receive invitations.

“Don’t you think the other is a little familiar, as if you’ve seen it somewhere.” Another said.

“Then I didn’t pay attention. I was shocked by the identity of Qin Yingdi. When I came back to my senses, I only saw their backs.”

“Where’s Mom?” Jiang Liucheng asked Qin Lu when she saw that there were only the two of them.

Qin Lu said, “she didn’t come so soon, let’s come first.”

The two entered the art museum, and then the waiter at the venue led them down to the banquet hall.

At this time, the banquet has already begun, and there are staggered offerings. Every guest who comes to attend is dressed in bright and bright clothes, and any small item on his body is worth hundreds of thousands.

This is not only a charity dinner, but also a scene where celebrities and ladies compete with each other.

Zhou Beiwang also attended the charity dinner. He received news early on that when he heard that Chairman Qin would bring his illegitimate son to the dinner, he told Qin Lu about it. Qin Lu said he already knew, and he realized it. There should be a good show at the charity dinner tonight.

As soon as Qin Lu came in, he found out that Qin Lu’s tall figure just blocked his sight, so that Zhou Beiwang didn’t find Jiang Liucheng standing beside him.

When he got closer, he realized that there was another person beside Qin Lu. When the young man’s face came into his line of sight, Zhou Beiwang froze in place.

It was Qin Lu who saw him and took Jiang Liucheng to walk in front of him first.

Zhou Beiwang saw the two coming over, and his reason finally returned to the cage, “What about you…”

He was a little confused, how could Jiang Liucheng and Qin Lu attend this kind of occasion together.

It’s not that Jiang Liucheng is not qualified, it’s just his doubts, they don’t seem to have a relationship to attend this kind of occasion together.

“What happened to us?” Qin Lu asked calmly, with a calm expression on his face.

Zhou Beiwang frowned and said, “Why would you bring him to such an occasion?”

Qin Lu sighed, “Is there any problem with me taking my boyfriend to the charity dinner?”

Zhou Beiwang was stunned, “What?”

Qin Lu took the trouble and said it again: “We are dating, and the purpose is to get married.”

Zhou Beiwang was dazed by the bombardment of this news, and came back to his senses. Just when he was about to speak, he found that many people around him were watching, which would have caused a sensation. He gritted his teeth and said, “Let’s go to another place to talk.”

A small garden is attached to the back of the banquet hall. Guests who do not like too much excitement can choose to come to the small garden to breathe.

At this time, there was no one in the small garden, which happened to be a good place to whisper.

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhou Beiwang turned around and looked at the two of them. He had just scratched it in his mind, but he was still a little unsure: “Are you together? When were you together?”

“It’s been almost four months.” Qin Lu said.

Zhou Beiwang originally thought that they were behind Chen Cang’s back, but when he heard this time, he seemed to have been kicked out at that time, but he still had an indignant feeling in his heart, “Are you worthy of me like this?”

Qin Lu asked calmly, “Why didn’t I see your first love?”

Zhou Beiwang subconsciously wanted to refute, but then he realized that Qin Lu was only talking about his first love, and didn’t say anything else, and said with an unnatural expression: “Don’t deliberately change the subject, this matter has nothing to do with Gu Qing.”

Qin Lu snorted coldly and said, “It doesn’t matter. I have to thank him. If it wasn’t for you, Bai Yueguang, playing with your prudence, Liu Cheng and I might have to go through a little more twists and turns.”

Speaking of this matter, Zhou Beiwang was even more worried, and quickly explained to Jiang Liucheng: “Gu Qing and I are already in the past tense, I really don’t know that he still has nostalgia for me.”

He always thought that Gu Qing was the kind of person who could afford to let it go, not to mention that when they broke up, Gu Qing left him first.

He never thought that after Gu Qing came back, he always wanted to get back with him.

Jiang Liucheng blinked and said, “Well, that’s all in the past.”

Zhou Beiwang always felt that the past tense he said was referring to him and himself, and his mood was even worse.

Wanting to accuse Qin Lu would not be justifiable.

To be honest, Qin Lu knew Jiang Liucheng earlier than him.

Qin Lu looked at him with a depressed look, and said warningly, “I advise you to let go of your little thought, and don’t let me know that you still miss my people.”

Zhou Beiwang opened his mouth and said if there was suffering, it would be fine if he really had a relationship with Jiang Liucheng. In fact, the two of them could only be regarded as blind dates who had met a few times, and they had no qualifications or positions. Thinking of this, it seemed that they could only let go.

After a while, Zhou Beiwang said speechlessly, “You don’t care what other people think.”

Qin Lu said with a cold face, “You can’t bully your friend’s wife.”

Zhou Beiwang: “…Fuck.”

While they were chatting, a sound came from the direction of the banquet hall.

After a while, Zhou Beiwang received a call from a friend, asking him where he was, and telling him that Chairman Qin was here.

Zhou Beiwang hung up the phone and said to Qin Lu, “Dong Qin is here, and he has a young man with him, who seems to be the illegitimate child. Do you want to take a look?”

Qin Lu sneered: “If you don’t go, there’s nothing to see.”

Zhou Beiwang was not surprised at all, “Okay, I guess you won’t go either, then I’ll go first, and I’ll call you if there is any news.”

Qin Lu responded lightly.

After Zhou Beiwang left, Jiang Liucheng saw Qin Lu’s sudden deep look, “Do you still mind?”

Qin Lu waved to a waiter nearby, took a glass of wine from the tray, and then took Jiang Liucheng a glass of juice and handed it to him.

“When I was a child, I didn’t understand and would mind. I always thought about why my father was different from other people’s fathers. After gradually understanding things, I realized that he and my mother had no relationship, and I gradually understood.”

Jiang Liucheng herself has not had a father since she was a child. She really doesn’t understand what kind of feeling this is, so she can only comfort him: “I don’t want such a father.”

Qin Lu said in a low voice, “You are so different from comforting people.”

Jiang Liucheng: “Isn’t this normal? Love is mutual. If you love someone who doesn’t love you, in the end only you will be hurt. People should be ruthless sometimes.”

Qin Lu stretched out a hand around his neck and put him in his arms. He was actually luckier than the young man because Ms. Long loved him.

At this moment, Qin Lu’s cell phone rang, and it was Zhou Beiwang who called, just after the call.

“Dong Qin is introducing his illegitimate son to the partners and shareholders of the Qin Group, and has donated five million in the name of the illegitimate son. It seems that he is determined to train his illegitimate son to compete with you.”

Qin Lu drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, and before he said anything, the glass was taken over by Jiang Liucheng.

“Do you still want it? I’ll go get you another cup?” Jiang Liucheng asked.

Qin Lu nodded, “Okay.”

Jiang Liucheng returned to the banquet hall with two cups. At this time, the banquet hall was more lively than when they first came. He was not interested in making friends with big people, and went directly to the dining area.

There are not many people in the dining area. For a charity dinner of this level, most people come to meet people of the same type or to increase their personal connections, but few really come to eat.

Jiang Liucheng found a plate and was about to pick some snacks to pass the time, when a familiar voice came from behind.

“Jiang Liucheng, why are you here?!”

Jiang Liucheng turned back and saw Mo Yi staring at him like a ghost, ignoring him, he turned back and continued to use the snacks.

Mo Yi was a little annoyed, and took out his mobile phone and called someone.

After a while, the extravagant Mrs. Mo came over in an evening dress.

Seeing Jiang Liucheng, Mrs. Mo looked indifferent and calm: “What’s your purpose here?”

Like Mo Yi, she doesn’t think Jiang Liucheng has the ability to participate in such a banquet. She thinks that since Jiang Liucheng came here with all her energy, she will not have no purpose.

Hearing the questioning from the other party, Jiang Liucheng pondered for a second and felt it necessary to say: “I don’t understand.”

Mo Yi sneered: “What don’t you understand? I don’t think you have an invitation letter at all. You sneaked in.”

Jiang Liucheng looked at Mrs. Mo and said with a puzzled face, “You have been targeting me because you are afraid that I will retaliate against you and tell me that I am your son, which will affect your status in the Mo family? I don’t understand, You never thought about it, I don’t want people to know you are my mother at all?”

Mrs. Mo’s expression suddenly turned cold.

Jiang Liucheng nodded: “It seems that you haven’t considered it. In my eyes, you are not a competent person who can make people yearn for maternal love. Maybe you did when you were a child, but at least now, I don’t have anything for you. Fantasy, and I don’t want to have anything to do with you.”

This is almost to show how self-motivated she is.

“And you.” After Jiang Liucheng finished speaking, she pointed her finger at Mo Yi, “I never want others to know about your relationship with me, do you know why?”

Mo Yi answered subconsciously: “Why?”

Jiang Liucheng: “Because you are too stupid, not smart at all, do some stupid things to let people know that your relationship with me is not good for me, understand?”

Mo Yi’s face gradually became ugly, but he was actually looked down upon by the other party, “You dare to call me stupid, believe it or not, I will immediately let people all over the world know about your relationship with me!”

Jiang Liucheng shrugged at Mrs. Mo, as if to say that I was right.

“Shut up.” Mrs. Mo glanced at Mo Yi with a gloomy expression.

Only then did Mo Yi realize that he had said the wrong thing again.

Mrs. Mo looked at Jiang Liucheng. The young man was too smart and too rational. If he was the son of her and her current husband, she wouldn’t have to plan for so many years, and she might have gotten what she wanted long ago. This is not her first. This is the first time I thought.

As the other party guessed, she really doubted the young man’s purpose in entering the entertainment industry, and also suspected that the young man would one day deliberately expose his life experience.

She can’t let Mrs. Mo know about this, otherwise, with Mr. Mo’s character, he won’t let himself get Mo’s shares, so in order to eliminate this hidden danger, she will choose to start first.

Originally thought it was a trivial matter, as long as the young man did not get into the entertainment industry in the end, Mrs. Mo would never know that he still had a son.

“With your character, if it weren’t for more interests, you wouldn’t do anything unnecessary, or even do something that is more likely to be discovered.” Jiang Liucheng continued when the other party’s face changed. “It must be that if my relationship with you is exposed, it will make you lose more, right?”

Jiang Liucheng put down the plate in his hand, and a bright and innocent smile appeared on his beautiful face: “So now, are you caught by me?”

“Joke, why are we caught by your weakness, you’re afraid…” Mrs. Mo interrupted Mo Yi’s angry words before he could finish speaking.

“Didn’t I tell you to shut up?”

Seeing his mother’s angry look, Mo Yi didn’t dare to speak again.

Mrs. Mo said calmly, “You won’t. If you wanted to say it, you would have said it long ago.”

Jiang Liucheng shook his head: “Telling everyone is different from telling a few people. As for who these people are, it’s not difficult to analyze, do you want to hear it?”

Mrs. Mo could no longer maintain her calm face, as if her disguise had been torn off.

“puff.”

Sudden laughter reached the ears of the three.

Mrs. Mo’s face changed slightly, and she immediately looked over to recognize the woman who was walking slowly.

The woman didn’t wear such a bright evening dress, and the extravagance exuded from the inside and the outside could never be compared with Mrs. Mo, who obtained a layer of noble lady status by marrying into a wealthy family.

A woman also never needs a lavish dress or adornment to prove her identity, because her face is the passport to everything.

“It turned out to be Mrs. Long, what a coincidence.” Mrs. Mo put away the embarrassment on her face and smiled again, but it was a little reluctant to be hit just now.

Ms. Long didn’t even give her a straight look. She looked at Jiang Liucheng with a love that she couldn’t hide, “Can you really analyze it?”

Mrs. Mo’s expression froze, not only because the other party didn’t even look at her, but also because of her words. Obviously, the other party came earlier and heard what they said earlier.

Jiang Liucheng nodded, “Of course.”

Ms. Long asked, “What about Qin Lu, why are you the only one here?”

Jiang Liucheng: “He’s calling a friend in the garden. Do you want to see him? I’ll take you there.”

Ms. Long: “Let’s go then.”

The ignored Mrs. Mo had to admit the fact that she made the wrong move this time.
