Near the end of the year, Gu Qingdai received an invitation.
Lu Mingze invited her to attend the homecoming party of his second brother Lu Minghe.
Gu Qingdai didn't want to participate. Lu Minglan's incident was almost forgotten, so why should she show up again to cause trouble?
However, Lu Mingze insisted repeatedly and said that he would take this opportunity to resolve the misunderstanding between her and Lu Minglan.
Gu Qingdai has no expectations for this.
Until Lu Mingze repeatedly refused to accept the gifts she sent her, and bluntly said that if he wanted to thank him for getting the leader of Xiaozhong in the first place, he had to attend the Lu family party, and nothing else would count.
Gu Qingdai had no choice but to bite the bullet and participate. She had to return Lu Mingze's favor.
The location was decided to be in the spacious bungalow of the Lu family.
Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu even made excuses to avoid going out, fearing that the young people would not be able to let go no matter how cautious their elders were.
Gu Qingdai paid wages and bonuses to everyone in the teahouse early in the morning, and told Gu Qingsong to take care of the front office and the kitchen, and handle all the affairs in hand properly before she hurried to the Lu family.
For her, the trip to the Lu family was familiar, but returning to her old place after such a long time made her feel like she was in a trance.
The huge guest room on the first floor has been converted into a small dance hall, and the other settings are similar to those in the dance hall.
After more than half a year of accumulation, and the recent frequent visits to the Lion Wake Teahouse, Gu Qingdai has recognized most of the people present today.
Lu Mingze quickly discovered her presence, caught her and pulled her to Lu Minghe to introduce her.
The three brothers and sisters of the Lu family don't all look alike, and Lu Minghe is more ordinary than his eldest brother and younger sister.
But when he opened his mouth to say "daole" and closed his mouth to say "ah," Gu Qingdai knew that he was much more "sick" than Lu Mingze.
"It would be more appropriate to call you Mr. Lu from now on." Gu Qingdai and Lu Mingze ducked into a corner side by side.
Lu Mingze picked up the goblet and took a sip of wine, "I would rather you call me Mingze."
Gu Qingdai hurriedly grabbed a piece of cream cake and ate it in her mouth, "It tastes really good. Let me take away a few pieces later."
"You and Lan Lan reconciled just now, right? In fact, our Lu family really likes you." Lu Mingze knew that Gu Qingdai was listening to him, but she was just pretending to be stupid like this.
Gu Qingdai choked herself so much, "You won't accept my fine tea, and you won't eat Zhu Xiaojiu's freshly made cakes. I gave in to the foreign wine that I bought after traveling more than half of Luancheng, and you also keep it intact."
If you don't move, return it to me."
"Hey, if I didn't do this, I wouldn't have an excuse to come to you again and again." Lu Mingze drank the wine in the glass.
Gu Qingdai flashed her thickly curled eyelashes, "You see, I only ate two bites of the cream cake because it was fresh, but actually I prefer pastries from Zhu's old store. My field of vision can only see the size of the Xingshi Teahouse.
If you go to a higher place, you might be able to boil it with your fingers."
Lu Mingze looked at her without squinting, "There are so many foreign dresses here that make people feel tired, but suddenly a cheongsam comes into view, which makes people deeply impressed."
"Occasionally trying something new can't replace getting used to it." Gu Qingdai really didn't want to get into a fight with Lu Mingze and was determined to destroy the atmosphere.
Lu Mingze was so angry that if the situation wasn't right, he would have confessed his feelings to Gu Qingdai.
Just then, the dance music started to play, and Lu Minglan suddenly pulled Lian Beichuan out from the crowd.
Lian Beichuan looked around and finally started dancing with Lu Minglan.
"I thought Lian's Trading Company was too busy and Beichuan didn't have time to come over."
Lu Mingze looked at his sister on the dance floor with eyes like an old father's.
"Who can not give face to the Lu family?"
Two handsome young men walked slowly toward them.
"Shopkeeper Gu, don't you know these two?" Lu Mingze was about to introduce them to her.
Gu Qingdai really didn't recognize them.
One of the slightly immature men smiled, showing two small tiger teeth, "Shopkeeper Gu, my grandfather is looking for a job in your teahouse!"
Gu Qingdai immediately realized that he was Xu Qiuxia's son Lu Shixiang?
"I dare not say that. It was Mr. Xu who gave me the food. Are you Mr. Lu? Are you back from the winter vacation?"
Lu Shixiang felt a little regretful, "After I came back, I ran out every day and didn't stay at home much. I heard from my mother that your ex-son still went to visit them."
"I go there often." Gu Qingdai responded with a sweet smile.
Lu Mingze introduced another person, "This is Fu Yanli, the young master of the Fu family in Oklahoma City. I met Minghe on the cruise ship returning to China."
Another one who went abroad for gold plating, Gu Qingdai nodded and smiled: "I have met Mr. Fu."
"Shopkeeper Gu, I have admired your name for a long time."
There is no aura of wealth or aura in Fu Yanli, but he has to admit that he is very beautiful, a bit like a girl.
Gu Qingdai had indeed heard about Echeng, but it was a long way from Luancheng. Mr. Fu returned from studying abroad and didn't go home, so why did he come to Luancheng?
Gu Qingdai just thought about it, she and Fu Yanli would have nothing to do with each other.
But she was just muttering in her heart, until she suddenly remembered an unrestrained description in the original text.
This Fu Yanli and the original owner had a history that was difficult to describe...
There are minefields everywhere, you can’t even hide!
Gu Qingdai just liked Lu Mingze next to her. He was a serious and good person!
She accepted Lu Mingze's invitation naturally, and after dancing with him, she excused that the teahouse was too busy these past two days and had to rush back to take care of it.
Lu Mingze suffered from the fact that today was their Lu family's home court and he had no choice but to leave early, so he had to let Gu Qingdai go back alone.
Less than a quarter of an hour after she walked out, Gu Qingdai was stopped by a car.
Lian Beichuan rolled down the window and said, "Get in the car."
He was driving by himself today, and there was no one else in the car, not even Huo Jie who had been following him all day.
"Don't bother Second Master Lian."
"I happen to be going to the Chamber of Commerce. Stop by. Don't waste time. I have something important to tell you."
Seeing that Gu Qingdai had no intention of getting in the car, he simply got out of the car and forced the person into the car.
"Lian Beichuan, what are you doing!" Gu Qingdai coughed twice and sneezed twice in succession.
Lian Beichuan took out a big cloak from the back seat of the car and said, "It's freezing cold. Why don't you wear more clothes when you go out? Put it on."
"What's the matter with you?"
"Uh... um... when will Qin Liu'er take the stage? I have a few bosses here who like her, and I want to go to your teahouse to listen to a few performances."
Gu Qingdai wrapped her cloak tightly and sneered coldly: "Second Master Lian is so elegant. He just had a sweet modern dance with Miss Lu and is about to go to listen to Qin Liu'er singing a ditty."
Lian Beichuan suddenly slammed on the brakes, "Shopkeeper Gu is having a lot of fun today, right? Lu Mingze is following you every step of the way. I guess it won't be long before I have to drink your wedding wine, right?"
He was ready to continue arguing with Gu Qingdai, but Gu Qingdai didn't talk back for a long time. How was this her style?
"Gu Qingdai?"
Gu Qingdai covered her forehead and slowly raised her eyes, "You bought your driver's license with money, right? The brakes were so sharp, if I went faster, I would have flown out directly."
Lian Beichuan caressed her forehead, "Let me see you, I'm sorry..."
"Stay away from me!" Gu Qingdai couldn't dodge, and her eyes met with Lian Beichuan's.
He... what kind of expression of affection is this?
Gu Qingdai was speechless for a moment. This chapter has been completed!
