The Imperial City, the capital of Beihong Kingdom!
Lu family!
As one of the founding fathers of Beihong Kingdom, Lu Bojie once served as the former Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armed Forces. After being honorably discharged as a first-class meritorious officer, his son Lu Qishan inherited his military title and is currently the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy.
Today is Lu Qishan's 63rd birthday. The Lu family, which has always been low-key, made an exception and invited friends to celebrate Lu Qishan's birthday at Feihuang International Hotel, the best hotel in the Imperial City.
In the lounge on the second floor of the hotel, three beautifully dressed women looked through the SLR floor-to-ceiling glass at the men and women downstairs chatting and holding wine glasses.
"Will that ugly guy come to celebrate my cousin's birthday this year? She's so ugly, so don't let her come. Today's guests are all political celebrities. It would be bad if she comes here and scares the guests." Lu Ruoxi looked downstairs.
The voice was full of disgust.
"I guess to show my grandma's love for her, I will definitely invite her to come. If she doesn't come, my grandma will still cry and beg her to come!" Pan Sihan looked at the person sitting on the sofa, with an upright posture and picturesque features.
A delicate girl with an authentic voice.
Lu Mengyao's pretty brows furrowed, and her eyes were full of displeasure: "Who says it's not the case? That ugly monster is self-aware. She said that at my dad's birthday party, there were too many political celebrities coming, so she wouldn't come to show off the guests.
appetite.
But my grandma cried so hard on the phone that she couldn't breathe, and said that the ugly girl wouldn't come, and that the next time I saw her, I would go to her funeral, and she cried so much that the ugly girl had to come over."
"I think it's excusable. My cousin has been imprisoned for decades. She will definitely like whoever rescues her the most. Please be more tolerant." Pan Sihan advised in a gentle voice.
"It would be better for the old woman not to come back. When she comes back, the family will be turned upside down. Everyone likes that ugly monster.
Everyone says that ugly guy is powerful, but I think that ugly guy is useless and doesn’t deserve to be related to our family at all." Lu Mengyao said disdainfully.
"My good cousin, you must not say anything nonsense. People in the political field pay the most attention to etiquette, respecting the elderly and caring for the young. If your words get out, which famous family will dare to marry you? Do you still want to marry a good family?
Already?" Pan Sihan said nervously.
"Yes, cousin, no matter how unhappy you are with that ugly Qiao Ran, you can't say this. My dad said that this is the first time in his life that my uncle celebrates his birthday in a high-profile way, just because he wants to choose a happy husband for you before he retires.
Today is said to be his birthday party, but in reality, all the young talents from the Imperial City are here to choose for you. You should keep your eyes open tonight and try to choose a good man. Don’t let an ugly person influence your choice of your future husband.
Mood." Lu Ruoxi said with eyes full of envy.
It would be great if she were Lu Qishan's daughter. In the Imperial City, as much beauty as there is, no one dares to look down upon her.
Unfortunately, her grandfather was only Lu Bojie's cousin. By this generation, she and Lu Mengyao were more than three generations of relatives, and their relationship was not that good at all.
It was her parents who shamelessly got close to Lu Qishan's family in order to do business.
She was taught how to please the princess Lu Mengyao from an early age.
Who makes my family happy? My grandfather is the former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and an honorably retired first-class meritorious official. My father is the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. My three brothers all hold important positions in various departments of the country.
If this had been the case in ancient times, Lu Mengyao would have been named a princess, with the proper title of a wealthy princess.
"I'm only 25 years old. I don't want to get married. I won't talk about getting married until I'm 30!" Although Lu Mengyao said this, she was full of pride in her heart.
Just now I casually glanced downstairs, and the young talents below were as dazzling as a talent show.
Being able to choose a man among so many celebrities and being treated like a noble princess, in a city full of power in the Imperial City, only she, Lu Mengyao, could enjoy this honor.
"My good sister, it will be too late when you are 30 years old. All the good men have been picked away, and the remaining crooked men are bad. Don't say you don't like them, we can't bear to taint your eyes."
Du Nuanyin, who was wearing a sky blue cheongsam, elegant and elegant, walked in and looked at Lu Mengyao fondly: "The guests are almost here. Dad asked me to come over and ask you to come downstairs with him."
"I understand, sister-in-law, you go there first, I'll go find dad in a moment!"
…
Downstairs, there was a feast of lights and feasting, and people were chatting and laughing.
Compared with banquets for business celebrities, banquets for political celebrities are much more low-key, elegant and meaningful.
Men are not necessarily bound to wine. If you like wine, drink it. If you don’t like it, you can drink tea and chat with a cup of artistic tea set.
For Lu Huaiyang, who was used to laughing and talking loudly, it was a bit torturous to participate in this kind of banquet where he stood and sat down.
At this moment, there were several high-ranking ladies standing in front of him. Although he used his celebrity humor to chat with them, they also appeared very happy and interested.
But all of them still smiled without showing their teeth, and their voices seemed to be well-trained, with no ups and downs.
"Mr. Lu, you are so humorous and graceful. You are worthy of being Mr. Lu's grandson. Even in such a complicated circle as the entertainment industry, you still stand out from the crowd and are unique."
"Mr. Lu, your career has been developing better and better in the past two years, and the company has become very big. Have you ever thought about transitioning to behind-the-scenes work? After all, being an actor is too hard. It will be much easier to provide guidance behind the scenes.
"
"Yes, Mr. Lu, I watched the TV clips you starred in and saw you jumping into the cold pond in the winter. It was really hard. I think you should change your mind and stop being an actor. It is easier to make money as a boss than to
Okay?"
"..."
Lu Huaiyang couldn't help but rolled his eyes speechlessly as he listened to the women in front of him expressing their sympathy for his hard work and for his kindness.
He knew that the birthday party held by his uncle today was to choose a good husband for his precious daughter, but for the people who came to the party, it was also providing them with a platform to promote their children.
As the grandson of the former General Secretary of the Armed Forces and having several powerful cousins, Lu Huaiyang was fortunate enough to be the daughter of some lower-ranking cadres.
It's just that they hoped that he would change his career, and they didn't want him to continue to work as an actor who was in public and had a bad reputation.
They obviously looked down on him, but for the sake of family development, they approached him one by one against their hearts. The sense of family honor of these ladies is really admirable.
"Although being an actor is hard, I still like being an actor because I especially enjoy the pleasure of standing in the spotlight and watching thousands of fans in the audience cheering for me crazily.
I like to have a variety of styles and wear clothes casually, but I don’t like to dress rigidly every day, as boring as a dead fish.”
Lu Huaiyang said as he glanced to the side and saw a familiar figure, with a fond smile on his lips, and then looked at the ladies in front of him calmly: "My cousin is here, please excuse me for now!"
Several social ladies watched Lu Huaiyang quickly walk towards a woman wearing a sapphire blue dress and a mask of the same color.
"Who is that woman? Why is she wearing a mask when she comes to the banquet?"
"Yeah, come to such an important banquet and wear a mask, don't you have the shame to meet others? In this case, why are you here to embarrass yourself?"
"It's so shameless. You don't have a trace of a woman's restraint. You actually threw yourself into Lu Huaiyang's arms in front of everyone!"
"Forget it, Lu Huaiyang is not a good match either. He has a flamboyant nature and is not worthy of entering a family like ours. We should find other noble men!"
"..."
Lu Huaiyang hugged Qiao Ran and turned her around in a circle regardless of the looks of the people around her.
It has been five months since he joined the team for filming, and he has not seen Qiao Ran for five months, and he misses her very much.
"Put me down, there are so many people watching!" Qiao Ran, who was picked up in the air, punched Lu Huaiyang on the shoulder several times in shock and panic.
"They are too rigid. I added some fun to them, and they should thank me!" Lu Huaiyang put down Qiao Ran and said in a light and authentic voice.
"These are all uncle's good friends, and they are all important figures in the officialdom. We can't embarrass uncle because of us.
Let’s find a quiet place to have something to eat. I got on the plane directly after finishing my work and didn’t even have time to eat lunch.”
Qiao Ran pulled Lu Huaiyang to the food area, selected several kinds of food and put them on the plate, then sat down in the most remote place.
After sitting down, Qiao Ran generously took off the mask on his face, revealing two scars one centimeter wide and seven centimeters long on the left side of his face.
The scars were light red, with two scars side by side on the left side of his face. Although they were not terribly ugly, they still greatly affected Qiao Ran's beauty.
