Chapter 52 Blooming Rose (4)
In the splendid hall, accompanied by beautiful music, Bai Qingzhi took the stage to sing.
Holding the microphone with white gloves, she opened and closed her red lips to the rhythm of the music. The beautiful singing voice was accompanied by graceful dancing postures. People in the audience held hands and danced.
The men and women clasped their hands, stepped on the notes, and the rhythm accelerated as the music changed.
The cheerful music is intoxicating, the wine and food are delicious, and how can we miss beautiful women?
On the stage, Bai Qingzhi was shining brightly, while off the stage Lu Yichen was busy with his two children to receive the guests.
Birthdays were the excuse for a rich man's banquet. The guests invited to attend today were all celebrities, some of whom Bai Qingzhi knew.
The Pei family is engaged in mining, the Gu family is engaged in jewelry, and the Rong family is engaged in arms trading.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Xu Fengrou was standing behind a man and woman dressed in fur. Bai Qingzhi glanced in that direction a few more times. It wasn't until the man turned his face that Bai Qingzhi looked away.
Judging from the jealousy in Xu Fengrou's eyes, it should be the male protagonist Qiu Ningchuan and his sister Meng Yiyun.
The stage is a good place to watch a show, and everyone in the hall can have a panoramic view of their movements.
"What's the background of this Meng Yiyun?" Her facial features don't match those of the male protagonist, and her last name is also different.
[The host is the male protagonist’s cousin, she is just my sister, you know, she has more roles than you, the third female lead]
The family has fallen into decline, and Meng Yiyun now lives in the Qiu family, and she and Qiu Ningchuan live together. They inevitably have a brother-sister relationship, and also make the heroine Lu Xiaowei jealous.
In fact, on the first day she entered the Qiu family, Meng Yiyun had already secretly expressed her heart to this impressive cousin.
Men are scarce? There are two women standing next to Qiu Ningchuan who love him. Lu Xiaowei loves him. As the fourth female, Bai Qingzhi also extends an olive branch to him.
[Host, the male protagonist is a central air-conditioner, a warm man, who wouldn’t like it after seeing him? 】
"Yes, it's good to be a brother, but I might be drowned in jealousy as a boyfriend." She is surrounded by love rivals every day, and Bai Qingzhi prefers to spend her time in love making money.
[Host, your current target is Li Yu, don’t be tempted by Qiu Ningchuan]
After singing the last song, Bai Qingzhi bowed and thanked her, and the audience burst into applause.
With a bright smile on her face, Bai Qingzhi noticed that there was one more person in the venue.
He wears a black suit with a slung back, he is calm and capable, but his cheeks are immature, no matter how mature the clothes are on him, he looks like a child sneaking into adults' clothes.
Is it Li Yu? It matches the system description. Only a loving family atmosphere can cultivate ignorance that is inconsistent with age.
The stupidity in his clear eyes will be severely punched by reality an hour later.
If you don’t take a second look now, you won’t see it again.
After so many extra glances, it was not only Li Yu who noticed. Lu Jinan followed Bai Qingzhi's line of sight, and the familiar face made Lu Jinan's hand movements froze.
Others don't know, so doesn't Bai Qingzhi know that Li Yu and his sister have already been engaged? Is it appropriate to flirt with Li Yu here?
Putting aside his doubts, Lu Jinan walked towards Bai Qingzhi with the wine glass in hand. At that time, Bai Qingzhi was thinking about how to fill her stomach, and did not realize that there was an extra person behind her.
The banquet of the rich is mainly about socializing, supplemented by eating, and the desserts they get are good-looking and not delicious.
You have to eat even if you don't want to eat on an empty stomach. It's better than going home to eat vegetables. Bai Qingzhi raised the tongs and picked the ugly ones.
"Miss Bai is very hungry?"
Lu Jinan's sudden appearance startled Bai Qingzhi.
Bai Qingzhi was glad that she didn't wear those stiletto heels, otherwise she would be the one who would be embarrassed by her sprained feet.
Blocking Bai Qingzhi with half of his body, the man used his body to block her inquiring eyes.
Desserts couldn't fill an empty stomach, but they were standard at banquets. Lu Jinan thought she liked them, so he snapped his fingers and asked his servants to bring more.
All the sweets were delivered. Bai Qingzhi stopped Lu Jinan and said, "Thank you, Master Lu. These are enough."
Three pieces of cake were not enough for Lu Jinan to fill his teeth, but for Bai Qingzhi, they were enough to fill her stomach.
Jiang Yuan didn't skip food for a day or two. The original owner was used to being hungry and vomited it out after eating too much.
Every time she takes part in a performance, Bai Qingzhi only dares to eat half as much as usual.
"The good figures of female celebrities are all due to hunger. No wonder Xiaowei always eats a little bit." When mentioning his sister, Lu Jinan looked around. There were so many people that he couldn't see her at all.
The system reminded Bai Qingzhi that the male and female protagonists were chatting in the garden at the moment, and Lu Jinan was held back to prevent him from destroying it.
In addition to the male and female protagonists, as the second male lead, Li Yu was also present.
One side is the target of the rescue mission, and the other side is the heroine’s brother.
A dangerous person who could ruin the plot at any time.
If Lu Jinan was as harmless as he appeared, maybe Bai Qingzhi wouldn't flinch.
In the early stage, the heroine was too well protected and was bullied by the second and third female lead. However, she became tougher in the later stage, and half of the credit goes to Lu Jinan.
With Lu Jinan backing her up, will she be afraid that Xu Fengrou and Meng Yiyun can't be cured?
Lu Jinan did not inherit the family business and instead started a dock business. Many cargo ships shipped from City A to other cities and abroad had to dock at Lu Jinan's dock.
The entire dock of City A was contracted by him, and even the mayor of City A had to be polite when meeting him.
The person in front of her is not easy to mess with, and the plot cannot have any surprises. Bai Qingzhi must hold Lu Jinan back.
"Sorry, I'm going to find my sister. You are of similar age and have common topics. She will be happy to be friends with Miss Bai." With sharp eyes like an eagle, he scanned the surrounding area but found no target.
The hall is connected to the garden, and the backyard is where the Lu family lives. Guests are not allowed in unless they are invited. Could it be that my sister has gone back to her room?
Seeing Lu Jin's absentmindedness, Bai Qingzhi bit her lower lip and pushed the plate forward.
Feeling something strange, Lu Jinan looked back at Bai Qingzhi, and when he saw those wet, deer-like eyes, his heart beat faster.
He seems to be unable to control himself, like a wild horse on the loose, breaking free from the restraints and jumping out at any time.
"how?"
"Well, Master Lu, can I make a presumptuous request?" Bai Qingzhi could not see a trace of ripples in the dark brown pupils opposite her.
It's like a calm lake. A stone is thrown into it. I don't know if it's too small or because the lake is so open to hundreds of rivers that it can't make a single ripple.
Lu Jinan remained silent, and Bai Qingzhi took the lead in opening her lips.
If the other party refuses, she can also start a tug-of-war to delay the male and female protagonists for more time.
"I, don't tell others, I'll tell you a secret." After saying that, Bai Qingzhi pretended to be mysterious and approached Lu Jinan.
There are many big figures in the business circle here tonight, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the secrets of any one of them are enough to make people talk about them for three days and three nights.
Just now, Lu Jinan was still thinking about where his sister was. At this moment, he was staring at Bai Qingzhi with all his attention, and took a step forward with a light step.
The distance is infinitely closer, one behind the other, the tacit rhythm makes it hard to believe that today is the first day the two met.
"Master Lu must know my teacher Xu Shengguo."
Lu Jinan nodded slightly, waiting for Bai Qingzhi's next words.
"His daughter Xu Fengrou, Nuo, is there," Bai Qingzhi turned sideways and turned to the direction of Xu Fengrou, "Do you think the person next to her is your sister?"
At that time, Lu Xiaowei and Qiu Ningchuan were together, and the one next to Xu Fengrou looked somewhat similar just from the back.
The two brothers and sisters have been together day and night for many years, how could Lu Jinan recognize the wrong sister? But today, he made a mistake.
