Aunt Xue is very busy [Love is deep and rainy]

Spring in Shanghai always comes quietly.

Because of the humid and warm climate, the city's magnolias always bloom one after another around Qingming, and the fragrance permeates the streets and alleys of the whole city for a long time.

The snow-like flowers on the branches are blooming enthusiastically and in full swing.The engagement banquet of the brothers and sisters of the Lu family officially kicked off on such a sunny and sunny day.

In fact, if possible, Wang Xueqin does not want to get engaged to Erhao and Ruping so early.

Although in the era a hundred years later, it is not uncommon for young men and women to get married after half a year together, but Wang Xueqin still feels that marriage is a major event that will affect a person's life. If possible, she naturally hopes that her son and daughter With their future partners, they can spend more time together and get to know each other better before deciding whether to form a family with each other.

But unfortunately, time really waits for no one.

It is now the late spring of [-], and there are more and more battle reports from the north, and the day of the all-out war of resistance in China is getting closer and closer.

Troubled times are approaching, and they still don't know what kind of twists and turns will happen in their lives, so since the children themselves have agreed to the engagement, and the parents of the other party also agree with it, and hope that the children will get engaged as soon as possible, Wang Xueqin naturally does not agree. would object.

It's just that she didn't expect that the engagement banquet, which was supposed to be low-key in her plan, was actually arranged so grandly and glamorously by the Mu family.Even the venue for the engagement banquet was chosen by the Mu family at the famous Imperial Hotel, which was once the venue for the salon held by the three Meng family sisters.

The three sisters of the Meng family have left a lot of ink and ink in the modern history of China. They came from prominent backgrounds. One of them became the mother of the country, and the other was not far behind.

Apart from them, once any important figures in Shanghai need to be received, they will almost always stay in the Imperial Hotel.

From this we can see how important the Imperial Hotel is in the hearts of the rich and powerful in Shanghai.

Early this morning, the whole Lu family was already busy.

Mr. Lu rarely wore a dark blue long gown embroidered with exquisite patterns that he would only wear during the Chinese New Year. His hair was neatly combed, and he held a black and shiny civilized stick in his hand. Occasionally, he could see a bit of a mature man between his brows. The murderous aura left behind from time to time actually had a faint sense of calmness and prestige.

He hadn't been this happy for a long time, and there was even a faint smile on his always serious face, so that the servants of the Lu family could see that he was in a good mood today.

Standing beside him was Wang Xueqin, who was dressed in a rich peony velvet cheongsam, combed her hair in a delicate bun, and wore jingle bells on her wrists, neck, and ears.

Wang Xueqin already had a very pretty face, and over the past year, she has made herself rosy and rosy, making her look a little younger. When she first appeared in the lobby of the Imperial Hotel, many people couldn't bear it. I couldn't help but stare sideways for a while.

Standing with them are the youngest daughter of the Lu family, Lu Mengping, and the youngest son, Lu Erjie. They are also well-dressed today. I couldn't help guessing which family the four people who suddenly appeared in the Imperial Hotel belonged to.

Of course, these people would never have thought that these people were the family members of two of the four protagonists at today's engagement banquet.

Before today, the Lu family had always kept a low profile.Although Mr. Lu was a great warlord when he was young, since the Northeast was occupied by the Japanese and he fled to Shanghai with a few family members and cronies, the black leopards of that year have long since passed away. An ordinary old man in a mansion in the French Concession.

Although Mr. Lu also has some friends, most of those people have nothing to do with the authorities, but because of Mu Mingyong's relationship, most of the guests attending the engagement banquet today are prominent, whether they are wealthy businessmen or celebrities in the political circle, they are often The people who appeared in the newspaper news naturally didn't recognize Mr. Lu and the Lu family who had been keeping a low profile.

Although, when these people received the invitation for the engagement banquet, they were already very curious about the Lu family who could climb into the Mu family and become in-laws with the Ye family of the medical family.

Therefore, when the members of the Lu family were sitting at the guest table today, it was no wonder that the gazes of the other people present became hot in an instant.

Mu Wanxi is Mu Mingyong's favorite daughter, and it is no exaggeration to say that she is the apple of the eye.In the past few years, countless wealthy sons have proposed marriage to Mu Mingyong, hoping to marry Mu Wanxi, but Mu Mingyong has never shown any signs of letting go.

And when everyone finally heard something about this matter, Mu Mingyong had already decided on Mu Wanxi's marriage.

This really makes people wonder, who is the young and talented young master of the Lu family who has always been unknown, so that Mu Mingyong favors him so much, and easily agrees to marry Mu Wanxi to him as his wife.

Of course, this is just what most of them think.

As for those politicians who tried their best to tie Mu Mingyong to the big ship of the party camp through their marriage with Mu Wanxi in order to win over Mu Mingyong, they naturally had another thought in their minds.

Before this, Mu Mingyong had never revealed that Mu Wanxi already had a crush, otherwise they would not have allowed Mu Mingyong to make a final decision on this matter so easily.

But now it's a done deal, Mu Mingyong has betrothed Mu Wanxi to that boy named Lu Erhao, which has been known to the rich and powerful in Shanghai, so those old foxes who can no longer make Mu Wanxi's idea of ​​marriage even if they are unwilling They naturally focused their attention on Lu Erhao.

Mu Mingyong's move is really incomprehensible, but Lu Erhao is a boy in his early twenties. Those who are interested, after losing Mu Wanxi, a target who can check and balance Mu Mingyong, naturally have feelings for Lu Erhao. Get interested.

If, if you can win over that kid to your side...

For a while, many people looked at the tall and straight young man in the field and became thoughtful.

Of course, today's protagonists are naturally not clear about these.

For today's engagement banquet, these young people have been preparing for almost a month.

Therefore, when they appeared in front of everyone hand in hand, they looked like golden boys and jade girls born with two pairs of sons and sisters. For a moment, those people with different thoughts couldn't help but focus on them.

Coincidentally, I don't know what kind of great luck this Lu family has hit. Not only the son climbed the big tree of the Mu family, but even the daughter who looks gentle and gentle is also married to the children of the Ye family from the medical family. Get involved.

Because in terms of status, among the three families, the Mu family is the number one, and the entire engagement banquet is from the selection of the venue, regulations, drafting of the list of invited guests, to the clothing of several young people attending the engagement ceremony, and even The dishes and other dishes for the banquet were all handled by the Mu family, so the person to preside over the engagement ceremony naturally fell on the head of the Mu family, Mu Mingyong.

After all, most of the prominent figures in the field today came for the Mu family.

Regarding this, the Lu family and the Ye family, who have always been low-key, naturally entrusted the Mu family to handle all matters without any objection.

Mu Mingyong has long been used to dealing with these dignitaries, and because today is the engagement ceremony of his most beloved daughter, what is even more joyful is that today is also the engagement ceremony of another child in his future in-law's family, so he naturally looks He was much more energetic than usual, and even when he acted as the master of ceremonies for these two young unmarried couples, he always had an amiable smile on his face, which made it impossible for people to see that this very kind-looking The old man turned out to be a person who could make the whole of Shanghai tremble three times with a slight stomp of his feet.

The engagement banquet was carried out in a joyous and peaceful atmosphere.

When the engagement ceremony was over, those people who had been unable to hold back for a long time finally relaxed and started talking in twos and threes in low voices.

You must know that even though all the people present are celebrities from all walks of life, in the whole of Shanghai, only Mu Mingyong, the head of the Mu family, has such a great ability to treat these bigwigs from all walks of life in such a complete manner. Gather here.

These people naturally want to seize the time to expand their social circle.

Of course, today's protagonists naturally don't have too much energy to pay attention to these.

Mu Wanxi was wearing a long lace dress that she seldom wears on weekdays. The milky white silk made her complexion look fairer than usual.Perhaps because of nervousness or excitement, her usually pale face was now slightly pink.

From the beginning to the end, except for the time when they exchanged engagement rings, she has been holding Lu Erhao's arm tightly today, and she hardly let go.

Standing beside her was Lu Erhao, who was wearing a custom-made black suit, with an official smile on his lips. Together with Mu Wanxi, he was by Mu Mingyong's side, and Mu Mingyong would treat him one by one Introduced to those celebrities from all walks of life who attended the meeting.

And today's other protagonists, after the engagement ceremony, obviously received much less attention from people.

But for this, Lu Ruping was greatly relieved.

She loosely held Ye Lin's arm, and while no one was paying attention to her, she quietly put all her body weight on her right foot.

Ye Lin, who had been by her side all the time, naturally noticed her little movement, and immediately frowned slightly, "Are the high heels uncomfortable?"

Lu Ruping froze for a moment. She thought that her actions were carefully concealed, but Ye Lin still discovered her.

The heat on his face has never subsided since he entered the Imperial Hotel.Lu Ruping's face was pink and tender at the moment, and seeing Ye Lin's eyes as cold as ice and snow, she couldn't help showing a relaxed smile at the slight concern revealed at this moment.

"It's okay, don't worry, I've been wearing these shoes since last night to adapt to their height, and today I've been running around to catch up with the field since the morning, and I'm just a little tired."

Ye Lin carefully observed her face, and found that there was no expression of reluctance, so she also slightly softened her eyebrows and eyes.

The arm was in a place where no one could see, and quietly wrapped around Lu Ruping's waist on the other side. With a little force from Ye Lin, Lu Ruping's center was completely transferred from her right foot to his body, and Lu Ruping held his wrist as a The support point, and then quietly moved the hand back to the original position, so fast that no one noticed it.

Of course, as one of the parties involved, Lu Ruping would not miss Ye Lin's actions.

However, after a brief surprise, she looked at Ye Lin's serious side face as if nothing had happened, and finally smiled lightly, and then, she rested her whole body weight on Ye Lin with peace of mind. On her body, with curved eyebrows and eyes, she implicitly showed the appearance of a happy little woman.

For these, the Lu Ye family, who had been paying attention to Lu Ruping and Ye Lin, naturally noticed them.

Wang Xueqin even heard Mengping, who was standing next to her, let out a small, weird cry of "Neezy", and then rubbed her arms narrowly, feeling funny in her heart, but at the same time, she felt that Ye Lin, a person who knows the cold and the hot, knows the relationship. His future son-in-law was even more satisfied.

Because the status of the guests invited today is very valuable, and Mu Mingyongzi will naturally pay [-]% attention to security issues, so it stands to reason that there will be absolutely no mistakes.

However, because of Mr. Lu's words, "Yiping is also the daughter of our Lu family, and the younger sister of Erhao Ruping, so she should come to attend this kind of occasion." Naturally, Lu Yiping also received an invitation for today's engagement ceremony.

Du Fei, who is Lu Ruping's friend, naturally also received the invitation from the Lu family.

Before sending the invitation to Du Fei, Lu Ruping hesitated for a while.

But whether it is Wang Xueqin, Lu Erhao or Ye Lin, they all feel that whether as Lu Ruping's friend or as Lu Ruping's suitor, Lu Ruping should solemnly hand over this invitation to Du Fei——always give Du Fei a chance to give up completely. just work.

As for whether Du Fei will come or not, it depends on Du Fei's own choice.

As expected, Du Fei appeared at today's engagement banquet with Lu Yiping after much entanglement.

Du Fei really couldn't help but feel frustrated. From the first time he saw Ruping, he has always liked this gentle and beautiful girl.

It's a pity that the beautiful woman has now become someone else's fiancee.

Today, the reason why he appeared here was to witness this fact.

Du Fei felt that his heart was about to break.

But soon, he didn't feel like breaking his heart, because after seeing the very familiar guests present, he suddenly found that his eyes and brain were almost not enough! !

"My God! My God! Yiping! You, you...do you know that person?!" Whether it was Lu Ruping or Lu Erhao, with Du Fei's current status and position, it was not easy To join in the fun, so Du Fei had no choice but to stand by Lu Yiping's side all the time, at least he could look less alone, and not look like a poor wretch.

And now, now that he finally has the mind to look at the other people in the field, he is already in a bad mood, okay? !

"Yiping, tell me the truth, what on earth do your Lu family do?!" Du Fei was about to be slapped by those bosses who tried their best and couldn't get a single hair. Blind! !

Lu Yiping, who had been absent-minded all this time, finally came back to her senses after being baffled by his babbling, and finally couldn't help but follow Du Fei's gaze, and then found...the people present, besides a few people from the Lu family and Mu Except for her family and sisters, she doesn't know anyone at all, okay?

So, she just gave Du Fei a slightly strange look, and immediately replied, "Who is the Lu family, you should be as clear as I am, right?"

The identity of Mr. Lu back then was not a secret in the eyes of those who had contact with the Lu family, so Lu Yiping was a little confused for a while, wondering what was the reason for Du Fei's eyes that almost fell out of the window .

"Oh!" Seeing the blank look on Lu Yiping's face, Du Fei was so anxious that he couldn't help but want to dance a few times on the spot.But when he glanced at the serious bodyguards in black suits standing around the edge of the venue, he tried his best to restrain the urge to scream, and started chattering at Lu Yiping instead.

"That! See that? It's the old man in the ochre-colored gown. That's Mr. Wen, the master of the domestic art world! There's also the Mediterranean man in a suit with few hairs on his head, that's the White Party on the Shanghai side. The top person in charge, Mr. Li! And that is Barabara...that is Barabara...that person and who Barabara...what did that person do Barabara..."

In short, after being blinded by the big bosses from all walks of life who are almost absolutely impossible to appear on the same occasion at the same time, the reporter soul of Du Fei, who has been suffering from nowhere to interview these big bosses, is finally here like a dream In the scene, it completely boiled over, like an occupational disease attack, Lu Yiping began to popularize the guests present and who they were.

Of course, with Du Fei's experience and experience, even as a reporter, it is impossible to reveal the identities of all the guests present at the meeting, but even the identities of a small number of people who he has popularized to Lu Yiping are enough. Let Lu Yiping understand how grand the engagement banquet between Lu Erhao and Lu Ruping was today.

Lu Yiping has always felt that even if she and her mother don't live in the Lu family, even if she and her mother don't live in the Lu family's mansion, and the food and clothing are not as luxurious as the Lu family's luxury, but her identity, her innate Compared with Aunt Xue's children, her pride and demeanor are not too much. Even in her heart, she has always harbored some contempt for Aunt Xue's children. Of course, this disdain is very light , even she herself, almost never noticed it, and never refused to admit it.

But at this time, all these big shots, whom she had never even heard of, came here at the same time, all to attend the engagement ceremony of Lu Erhao and Lu Ruping!

Her gaze involuntarily fell on Lu Erhao, who was following Mu Mingyong in various celebrities, and suddenly realized that that young man with a faint smile on his lips, who looked very calm and reliable, was actually in front of her. When I noticed it, it became so outstanding that it was full of strangeness from head to toe.

On the other side, Lu Ruping, who was cuddling with Ye Lin who had a dull expression, formed a small world of her own, and she and Ye Lin were so tender that it made Lu Yiping feel sour in her heart. She suddenly remembered that she hadn't heard from her for more than a month, and she had never given her a favor. She sent He Shuhuan with only a few words.

The feeling of tumbling in the bottom of her heart for a while made Lu Yiping almost in the ice cellar, as if she was being scorched in a sea of ​​fire. She was also envious and ashamed, and also felt a wave of anger for herself and He Shuhuan's unclear future. Trembling despair.
