A week later, Cloud City.
A black car stopped in front of Huangsheng Hotel, and the envoy at the front door approached immediately, and opened the door carefully, "Hello, distinguished guest, welcome to Huangsheng Hotel."
The young man in the car came out calmly, wearing a white suit that he seldom wears, and a black bow tie on the neckline. The pure combination of black and white falls on him, which is the ultimate visual enjoyment.
The young man wore glasses with a silver chain frame, and the silver light waves radiating from the chain complemented the silver-white broken diamond brooch on his chest, completely detached from the ordinary rich young master, showing a unique aristocratic demeanor.
"...Young Master Yu?" The waiter recognized his appearance and blurted out inadvertently.
Yu Huaining raised the tails of his eyes slightly, and flashed a knowing smile at the waiter's bewilderment.
The original owner's appearance is not bad at all, as long as he cleans up carefully, it is quite eye-catching.
Shi Zheng, who was dressed in a black formal suit, walked out of the car door on the other side, and when he was squinting, he happened to meet the gaze of the young man and the waiter.
A trace of displeasure burst from the bottom of my heart.
Shi Zheng didn't say a word, he just fastened the buttons of his suit slowly, and the appropriate tailoring of the clothes wrapped his strong body.He took off his glasses on purpose today, and there is a sharp glint in his charming peach eyes at this moment.Without the constraints of glasses, it seems that all subtle emotions are magnified.
Less refined, more powerful.
Shi Zheng lowered his eyes and approached the young man, "Are you ready?"
Yu Huaining raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled back, "Well, let's go in."
The two clearly didn't have any physical contact, but there was an aura that was hard to disturb outsiders.The messenger suppressed the shock in his heart, and said respectfully, "You two, please follow me."
Today they were invited to Mr. Lu's birthday banquet.
A week ago, all the stolen jade articles were recovered intact, which prevented the Lu family from suffering a huge loss and saved the life of the little granddaughter.In the name of his birthday, Mr. Lu kindly invited Yu Huaining and others.
Yu Huaining and Shi Zheng walked to the entrance of the banquet hall, and saw Nan Chuan who was hesitating outside the hall.The former glanced at the man beside him, and stepped forward, "Nanchuan? Why don't you go in?"
When Nan Chuan turned around and saw his friend, he seemed to be secretly relieved, "Huai Ning."
Today's Nan Chuan is wearing a iron gray twill suit, which is obviously a dull and sophisticated color, but it has a unique charm when it falls on him.
Sure enough, it is the male protagonist, not only has a good foundation on the outside, but also a clothes hanger for walking.
There was a hint of admiration in Yu Huaining's eyes, and he asked again, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." Nan Chuan shook his head mockingly when he heard the symphony in the hall, "Mr. Lu's kindness is hard to turn down, but I really don't know what I can do here?"
Want to recover the stolen jade?Not to his credit.Want to save Lu Qiaoyin's life?Not even his credit.
"It's just to celebrate the old man's birthday, you don't need to have such a great psychological pressure." Yu Huaining patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Besides, if you didn't show up, the situation on that day might not be what it would have been. "
Nan Chuan heard his friend's hidden explanation, shook his head imperceptibly, and said helplessly, "Huai Ning, I'm not like you guys. I really can't get used to these rich places."
Last time at Yu's house, he was suddenly splashed with 'dirty water' by Yu Xian. The contemptuous looks from everyone still haunt him to this day.
In fact, Nanchuan has not always been in such a living situation.He vaguely remembered that before he was seven years old, he used to live in the same wealthy mansion.But speaking of it, it was a long time ago.
Yu Huaining frowned slightly.
According to the normal trajectory, Nanchuan should have been recognized by Meng Zhen who secretly inquired after being seriously injured.But now, it seems that some facts have been changed because of his own 'intervention'.If it was really because of him, shouldn't he think of a way to help Nanchuan promote the 'plot' of his life experience?
"It's almost time." Shi Zheng, who stood silently in his place, glanced at the time.
Nan Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he greeted, "...Mr. Shi."
That day in the country N's smuggling den, the few seconds when Shi Zheng hugged his friend in his arms are vivid in his memory.Nan Chuan had a clear mind, and combined with those rumors, he naturally guessed the relationship between the two.It's just that he's not a meddlesome talker, he knows better that the friend he made is Yu Huaining...
If the other party doesn't admit it personally, he won't try to ask questions.
When Shi Zheng heard his greeting, he nodded calmly.
"Why are you all gathered at the entrance of the hall?" Lu Xingci came out from the hall, ending the short silence, "I thought you didn't come, I was just about to make a call."
Yu Huaining smiled politely at Lu Xingci's gaze, "Young Master Lu."
Hearing this call, Lu Xingci felt the strangeness in his words, and the smile on his lips froze slightly.
"There is less road."
Fortunately, Nan Chuan spoke in time, breaking the delicate stalemate.
"Grandpa is looking forward to you in the hall." Lu Xingci returned to his gentle smile, "Go in first."
"it is good."
A group of people entered the hall and walked straight to the old birthday star.Lu Xingci said, "Grandpa, everyone is here."
"Mr. Lu, there are some temporary delays on the road, so please don't mind me being late." Yu Huaining's words were still measured and decent, "I wish you good health, old man."
"Young Master Yu is polite." Old Mr. Lu nodded in satisfaction, carefully sizing up his appearance, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
Lu Kaijie's crimes were exposed, although Mr. Lu was angry that he had raised a white-eyed wolf for so many years.But at the same time, after the matter of Yushi, his appreciation for the young man in front of him has reached a peak!He really didn't expect that although Yu Rende was not very good, his little grandson was a serious and excellent talent.
"Thanks to a few of you this time, I can get back the treasures of my life." Mr. Lu said, "I am grateful to you all, so please don't be restrained and polite today."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu."
As soon as the words fell, the hall door was pushed open again.When everyone heard the movement, they cast their gazes one after another.When Mr. Lu saw the leader, he unconsciously snorted, "What a rare visitor!"
I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, but Mr. Yu, who seldom goes out, rushed here with his whole family.
Shi Zheng and Yu Huaining looked at each other, he asked, considering the identity of the young man, "Do you want to go there?"
Yu Huaining took off his glasses, which were pretending to be gentle and still piercing the bridge of his nose, and muttered, "I don't know them well, so I can't go." Ever since Song Kunfu and Chen Yuyin had two old people, Yu Huaining took the indifferent and heartless Yu family even more lightly. up.
Just as he was talking, Yu Xian found the young man over there, and the disgust in his eyes flashed.
Seeing this, Shi Zheng moved slightly to block the young man, lest he suffer unnecessary 'hostile' attacks.
"Xing Ci." Mr. Lu shouted.
Lu Xingci understood, and pushed the wheelchair the old man was sitting on to meet him
Mr. Yu met them face to face, and greeted them in a deep voice, "Dechuan, I haven't seen you for so many years, how are you?"
"Thanks to you, it's very good!" Mr. Lu's answer was not very pleasant.
Everyone watching this scene was a little curious.It is said that the two old men had a good friendship when they were young, but it seems that this is not the case when they meet today?
Old Master Yu's face froze when he was humiliated in public.
Seeing this, Meng Zhen immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, our two families are family friends. Last time on the old man's birthday, both Young Master Lu and Miss Lu came. The old man heard from their brothers and sisters that you were ill a while ago and have been I kept it in mind, so I brought our family to see it today."
Let's talk, Meng Zhen approached Old Master Yu to comfort him, "Dad, don't be angry. The purpose of our coming here today depends on you to persuade."
Old Master Yu nodded slightly, calmed down, "Would you like me to sit down?"
Lu Xingci put his shoulders on the shoulders of his old man, and hurriedly greeted, "I don't know that Mr. Yu will come in person, but our Lu family is far away to welcome you. I'll ask someone to rearrange the big table immediately, please take a seat."
After finishing speaking, he approached the old man and whispered again, "Grandpa, at least you should save some face. Besides, Huaining is still here. You see that you are still letting people not restrain themselves, and they are on the back foot with his grandfather. How do you let him manage?"
Mr. Lu thought of the young man he valued, so he could only restrain himself, but he couldn't help thinking—how could such a good young man be the grandson of an old man like Yu Rende?
A few minutes later, a group of people sat around the banquet table.
Yu Xian saw Nan Chuan nearby, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.He learned to be smart this time, and he spoke with a somewhat dubious smile, "Mr. Nanchuan, I haven't seen you for a while, but you are getting more and more capable? I really didn't misunderstand you."
Nan Chuan's eyes darkened, he took a sip from his glass and ignored it.
The mad dog pretended to bite again, can he bite back?
Meng Zhen noticed the look of the former, and involuntarily touched her younger son under the table, and reprimanded her in a very low voice, "Xiao Xian! When it comes to adults, you young child, don't talk nonsense!"
Yu Xian snorted inaudibly, and stopped talking.
"Huai Ning and Nan Chuan helped us recover the stolen jade a few days ago, avoiding a huge loss. For the Lu family, they are undoubtedly honored guests." Lu Xingci recalled that day at the banquet. Encounter, very discerning for the two of them raised their identities.
Nan Chuan understood his hard work and gave him a grateful smile.
When Mr. Yu heard this, his usual stern eyes fell on his little grandson.The latter met his gaze with a calm expression, but without any extra emotion, "Grandpa."
Meng Zhen cast a hinting look at her honest and dull husband, but it was a pity that the other party was still not enlightened.In desperation, she had no choice but to find a reason to speak, "I heard that the case a while ago was quite big, and even Miss Lu was frightened?"
She looked around, her eyes filled with concern that seemed real or fake, "By the way, where is Qiao Yin? Why isn't she here?"
It's okay if you don't ask, but when you ask, the faces of Mr. Lu and Lu Xingci both change.
The Lu family blocked the news very well, so there was no unnecessary news about Lu Qiaoyin's facial injury.
The latter has been suffering from pain and mental torment for several days, and even his temperament has changed.There are a lot of people coming and going at today's banquet, so she naturally doesn't want to show up.
"Qiao Yin was frightened a while ago, and she is still recuperating." Lu Xingci replied tactfully.
"Why don't these juniors go and see it later?" Meng Zhen took the opportunity to ask, "At the banquet last time, Qiao Yin and our little Xian got along quite well."
Mr. Yu seemed to be awakened, and suggested at the right time, "Dechuan, your little granddaughter is about the same size as my Xiaoxian. Since our two families are family friends, why don't we let these two children get in touch?"
This is the real purpose of their coming here.
Meng Zhen really likes the little girl Lu Qiaoyin and intends to match her up.And Mr. Yu is completely considering the family foundation.The friendship between Yu and Lu has always been good. It was not until their generation that there were conflicts, and there was a lot of estrangement.
Mr. Yu knew that he was getting old, his eldest son Yu Weiguo was not up to the mark, and his eldest grandson Yu Xian was not yet ready... He had to restore his relationship with the various families so that the Yu family would not go downhill in the near future.
When Yu Huaining heard this, a hint of interest flickered in his eyes.He picked up his wine glass and watched the play in silence.
It is not uncommon for aristocratic families to marry. The deeper the foundation of the aristocratic family, the more unavoidable this special "bondage".Originally, Yu Huaining thought that Nan Chuan and Lu Qiaoyin, who were the male and female protagonists, had to be matched together.But after the incident in country N, he really hated Lu Qiaoyin to the extreme.
The other party has a heart of snakes and scorpions, and is really not worthy of a friend!It's better to do what the elders think - make Yu Xian and Lu Qiaoyin a pair, so as not to harm others!
When Mr. Lu heard this, he toasted for a while, trying to suppress the displeasure in his heart.
Ask Qiao Yin from their family to get in touch with Yu Xian?You, an old bastard, still want to hide your calculations from me?
"Contact? I don't think it's necessary." Mr. Lu didn't show any emotion on his face, pretending to be open-minded, "How can we let our elders make decisions about young people's feelings?"
Their Yu family obviously valued the relationship of marriage. If they knew that their little granddaughter's face was damaged, they would be envious of the playboy's appearance, and they might not be sincere to Qiao Yin at all!Old Mr. Lu didn't know about Lu Qiaoyin's evil thoughts in country N, but he still loved her at this moment, so he wouldn't push his little granddaughter into the pit of fire!
"De Chuan, what you said is wrong. In a family like ours, what the elders say will naturally count." Mr. Yu glanced at Yu Xian, and deliberately emphasized his words, "I think our Xiaoxian still has a good impression of Miss Lu. of."
Yu Xian's face flushed slightly when he heard this.
He is a person who cares about face, and now Mr. Yu exaggerated what he said in front of everyone without discussing it. He sounds really depressed!But in this situation, he can't deny it in public. I'm afraid it will only make Mr. Yu unhappy.
Seeing Yu Xian's deflated look, Yu Huaining couldn't help but suppress his smile.Shi Zheng approached him, and asked clearly, "Are you so happy when you see other people embarrassed?"
"If the object is Yu Xian, I'm naturally happy." Yu Huaining lowered his voice.Nan Chuan on the right heard this whispered speech, and a trifling smile appeared on his lips.
Yu Xian saw the secret smiles of both of them, and his heart was inevitably upset.But next, Mr. Lu's words completely ignited his embarrassment.
"Old Yu, let's forget it. To tell you the truth, if the two families really want to get married, I would also like your little grandson Yu Huaining."
"...cough!" Yu Huaining, who was drinking, choked suddenly, obviously he didn't expect that eating melon would make him choke.
"grandfather."
"Old Lu."
"Mr. Lu."
Three disapproving male voices sounded at the same time.Lu Xingci was helpless, Nan Chuan was restraining, and Shi Zheng was entirely out of possessiveness.
"Grandpa, don't mess with Huaining and Qiao Yin." Lu Xingci was aware of the conflict between the two of them, so he could only advise and cast an apologetic look at Yu Huaining.
Mr. Lu saw their big reaction, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said, "What's wrong with being a handsome man? I was thinking, since Huaining can't be my grandson, it's better to be a grandson-in-law. "
Yu Huaining shook his head helplessly, and said straightly, "Mr. Lu, thank you for your love, but please don't take the opportunity to tease me. I'm really embarrassed by my thin skin."
This is very decent, it can be regarded as taking into account the face of Yu and Lu.
But in the ears of Yu Xian who was furious, it was obviously a kind of naked provocation and ridicule.
They are also the young masters of the Yu family, so why does Mr. Lu look up to that bastard Yu Huaining, but look down on him? !If this conversation spreads out, I'm afraid it will only make outsiders think that the young master of the Lu family is eager to pursue Miss Lu, but the Lu family is actually interested in the young master of the Yu family who has no such intentions and was kicked out of the house?
He can't afford to lose face!
Yu Xian had suffered a few times in front of Yu Huaining, but this time he endured it until his face turned livid.
The carpenter at the side saw all this scene in his eyes, he felt sorry for his young master, and couldn't help explaining, "Mr. Lu, the two young masters of our family are equally good. The young master is straightforward and doesn't have so many twists and turns." , I only suffered a loss and offended someone before... I can't compare to the young master who understands the world, can speak, and can walk between Lu Shao and Shi Zong, neither of which can be offended."
Straight?Don't know the ways of the world?Offend someone?
How did these adjectives seem familiar to him?Can the words originally used on the original owner be transferred to another person?
This wood butler is very eccentric!But he seemed to have forgotten that no matter how long he stayed in Yu's house, he was still an outsider.
"How can a servant talk so much!" Yu Huaining sneered, and immediately rant, "Butler, when it comes to the art of speaking, how can I compare with you? I'm afraid that everyone present can't understand, so come help me with a literal translation. What do you mean? Yes, I, Yu Huaining, sold my body back and forth between Lu Shao and Shi Zong, and then played them around with my tongue?"
"Oh? Who spread such dirty words?" Shi Zheng immediately helped the young man, his eyes getting colder.
"There is nothing, butler Wooden, please speak carefully." Lu Xingci immediately opened his mouth.
"Wooden Butler, please don't slander my friends in public!" Nan Chuan said righteously.
The wooden butler looked embarrassed, obviously he didn't expect the young man to target him sharply.He wanted to speak for Yu Xian, but the meaning of this was clearly the young man's own embellishment, which made him appear very exposed.But with only a few words, how could it be his fault?
"Yu Deren! Did you bring people here to deliberately cause trouble today?" Mr. Lu said, with a clear rebuke.Compared to the distinguished guest of the young man, the rest of Yu's family members came here uninvited, and he has long been fed up with this hypocritical conversation between the two parties!
"Old Mu, you made a slip of the tongue." Mr. Yu took care of his face and said a lesson.
The wooden butler became more and more embarrassed, so he could only bow his head and confess, "...Yes, I was wrong."
Yu Huaining looked at the wooden butler who was at the center of the conflict, with a sneer on his lips.
When he first replaced the original owner, he had several brief contacts with the wooden housekeeper.At that time, he didn't have enough strength, so he was very restrained in front of the opponent.But the other party seems to have made a mistake, he has never been a soft bun who is easy to bully.
Not only that, even Yu Huaining would never allow anyone to easily take advantage of his words!
"Yu Huaining, you don't have to deliberately make things difficult for the butler." Yu Xian couldn't help but opened his mouth, his eyes flicked back and forth between the young man and Shi Zheng, and said disdainfully, "You know what kind of person you are! The discerning people present also know it! "
"What kind of person am I?" Yu Huaining raised his eyebrows lightly, as if asking, "It seems that you don't know."
As soon as the voice fell, the hall was opened again.
Professor Lin Chengtian walked in with a middle-aged policeman in uniform.
Under the leadership of the waiter, the two quickly came to the main table of the banquet.The waiter explained to Mr. Lu, the protagonist, "Mr., these two said they wanted to see Young Master Yu. I think they have special identities, so they took the liberty to bring them in."
"Old Lu, long time no see." Lin Chengtian and Mr. Lu are old acquaintances.
"One day, you and this..." Old Mr. Lu nodded, thinking about his words, "What is this comrade here for?"
"Mr. Lu, I am Wei Qing, the head of the Border Smuggling Law Enforcement Department. Due to the rush of time, I begged Professor Lin Chengtian for a recommendation." Just as he was speaking, he took out his work certificate.He looked around, finally fixed his eyes on Yu Huaining, and said sonorously, "Comrade Yu Huaining, thanks to the precise positioning you sent, we successfully captured 27 illegal/legal/smuggling/smuggling persons, destroyed a Punish the crime/criminal dens, recover [-] smuggled/smuggled items, thank you for your support and contribution to the border smuggling/smuggling crackdown mission!"
Yu Huaining pursed his lips.
Everyone in the audience was stunned.
Before everyone could react, Wei Qing handed over a wrapped pennant, and not only that, he also took out a check with legal effect, "This is a commendation awarded to you by the organization after discussion. Comrade Yu Xiao, please take a look!"
"I'm sorry, Minister Wei." Yu Huaining took it with both hands, and he quickly glanced at the bonus on the check, the amount was not small.
Lin Chengtian smiled in satisfaction, and then said, "Young Master Yu, you should be clear about the purpose of my coming to you, right?"
for what purposeYou are quick to say!
The onlookers watched all this eagerly, and their curiosity almost burst out of their chests.
"The antiques and relics you donated are too expensive. After discussing with the director and deputy director of Liucheng Museum, they still plan to offer a sum of money to express their gratitude to you." Lin Chengtian fumbled for a clean and brand new check from his wallet, Please take it."
Everyone finally let out bursts of slight exclamation.
Is this another crackdown on smuggling/smuggling?Another donation?I really didn't realize that Young Master Yu is so capable?It's amazing!
The young master of the Yu family, Yu Xian, only knows how to eat, drink and play to ruin his family property. Isn't this far behind in comparison?It's like heaven and earth.
If they were Mr. Lu, they would definitely choose Young Master Yu as their grandson-in-law!
Yu Huaining looked around and had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions.His eyes swept over Yu Xian, and a trace of unfathomable smile burst out.The latter was so terrified by his laughter, he just felt that he was lifting a rock to shoot himself in the foot again!
Yu Xian, oh Yu Xian, let me show you what kind of person I am.
Thinking of this, Yu Huaining quickly turned around and asked Wei Qing and Lin Chengtian in front of him, "Can I confiscate these two bonuses? The mountain road from Ruicheng City to Taoxi'ao is really inconvenient. On top of this, add some money to build a concrete road.”
If Taoxiao wants to develop the wine industry, the mountain roads in and out must be rebuilt.Yu Huaining took advantage of this opportunity to fight for another wave of 'face' for himself.
Lin Chengtian remembered the tortuous road into the mountain that day, and nodded hastily, "It's all a bonus for Young Master Yu, of course you can use it freely."
A hint of surprise flashed in Wei Qing's eyes.Before he came again, he had heard from the anti-smuggling team that this young man named Yu Huaining had great potential.Originally, he still didn't understand, but now that he saw it, he realized that Yu Huaining was really extraordinary!The other party didn't have the slightest impetuousness of his peers, but instead had a calmness that didn't match his age.
"It's really valuable for a little comrade to have this kind of ideological awareness." Wei Qing no longer held back, his eyes were full of admiration, "Wei is not talented, and he may sit in today's position. After all, he has accumulated some connections. Comrade Yu Xiao If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just come to me. As long as I can help, I will naturally do my best."
"Thank you Minister Wei for your appreciation."
"Master Yu, what I mean is the same as Minister Wei's." Lin Chengtian naturally had a good impression of the young man.He looked at Mr. Yu at the side, and couldn't help but raise his voice, "Mr. Yu, your little grandson is amazing."
It was the first time for Mr. Yu to hear these things, and while he was shocked, he had to nod pretending to be calm.
"Since we want to build some mountain roads, I, Lu Dechuan, can help out as Young Master Yu!" Old Mr. Lu was worried that he had no way to thank Yu Huaining, so he immediately expressed his opinion after hearing this.After all, he cast a provocative look at Mr. Yu.
The latter pretended to cough and had to put on a show, "Huai Ning, you have performed well these days, and you have made our Yu family proud. If you need money, just ask grandpa for it."
A cunning flashed in Yu Huaining's eyes, and he quickly responded, "Yes."
In fact, he knew that Lin Chengtian wanted to find his purpose, but he kept using excuses to not meet each other.Before the banquet started, he learned that Wei Qing had come to Liucheng...
After thinking for a while, Yu Huaining asked the system to contact the former by text message, asking him to bring Wei Qing along.
After what happened just now, not only the two great families of Yu and Lu became his backers "falsely or sincerely", but even relevant personnel in the field of culture, sports, military and politics have also spoken out for him one after another. Who else can have this special treatment? ?
As long as this matter gets out through the mouths of everyone at the banquet, he will gain a firm foothold in Liucheng's celebrity circle!
Yu Huaining glanced at Shi Zheng beside him, showing a deep smile that only the other party could understand.
In this world, accumulating money is important, but power and connections are equally important!
The author has something to say: Yuyu: The wealth, power, and connections I want are all indispensable!
Mr. Shi: Well, the little fox is awesome~~

A black car stopped in front of Huangsheng Hotel, and the envoy at the front door approached immediately, and opened the door carefully, "Hello, distinguished guest, welcome to Huangsheng Hotel."
The young man in the car came out calmly, wearing a white suit that he seldom wears, and a black bow tie on the neckline. The pure combination of black and white falls on him, which is the ultimate visual enjoyment.
The young man wore glasses with a silver chain frame, and the silver light waves radiating from the chain complemented the silver-white broken diamond brooch on his chest, completely detached from the ordinary rich young master, showing a unique aristocratic demeanor.
"...Young Master Yu?" The waiter recognized his appearance and blurted out inadvertently.
Yu Huaining raised the tails of his eyes slightly, and flashed a knowing smile at the waiter's bewilderment.
The original owner's appearance is not bad at all, as long as he cleans up carefully, it is quite eye-catching.
Shi Zheng, who was dressed in a black formal suit, walked out of the car door on the other side, and when he was squinting, he happened to meet the gaze of the young man and the waiter.
A trace of displeasure burst from the bottom of my heart.
Shi Zheng didn't say a word, he just fastened the buttons of his suit slowly, and the appropriate tailoring of the clothes wrapped his strong body.He took off his glasses on purpose today, and there is a sharp glint in his charming peach eyes at this moment.Without the constraints of glasses, it seems that all subtle emotions are magnified.
Less refined, more powerful.
Shi Zheng lowered his eyes and approached the young man, "Are you ready?"
Yu Huaining raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled back, "Well, let's go in."
The two clearly didn't have any physical contact, but there was an aura that was hard to disturb outsiders.The messenger suppressed the shock in his heart, and said respectfully, "You two, please follow me."
Today they were invited to Mr. Lu's birthday banquet.
A week ago, all the stolen jade articles were recovered intact, which prevented the Lu family from suffering a huge loss and saved the life of the little granddaughter.In the name of his birthday, Mr. Lu kindly invited Yu Huaining and others.
Yu Huaining and Shi Zheng walked to the entrance of the banquet hall, and saw Nan Chuan who was hesitating outside the hall.The former glanced at the man beside him, and stepped forward, "Nanchuan? Why don't you go in?"
When Nan Chuan turned around and saw his friend, he seemed to be secretly relieved, "Huai Ning."
Today's Nan Chuan is wearing a iron gray twill suit, which is obviously a dull and sophisticated color, but it has a unique charm when it falls on him.
Sure enough, it is the male protagonist, not only has a good foundation on the outside, but also a clothes hanger for walking.
There was a hint of admiration in Yu Huaining's eyes, and he asked again, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." Nan Chuan shook his head mockingly when he heard the symphony in the hall, "Mr. Lu's kindness is hard to turn down, but I really don't know what I can do here?"
Want to recover the stolen jade?Not to his credit.Want to save Lu Qiaoyin's life?Not even his credit.
"It's just to celebrate the old man's birthday, you don't need to have such a great psychological pressure." Yu Huaining patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Besides, if you didn't show up, the situation on that day might not be what it would have been. "
Nan Chuan heard his friend's hidden explanation, shook his head imperceptibly, and said helplessly, "Huai Ning, I'm not like you guys. I really can't get used to these rich places."
Last time at Yu's house, he was suddenly splashed with 'dirty water' by Yu Xian. The contemptuous looks from everyone still haunt him to this day.
In fact, Nanchuan has not always been in such a living situation.He vaguely remembered that before he was seven years old, he used to live in the same wealthy mansion.But speaking of it, it was a long time ago.
Yu Huaining frowned slightly.
According to the normal trajectory, Nanchuan should have been recognized by Meng Zhen who secretly inquired after being seriously injured.But now, it seems that some facts have been changed because of his own 'intervention'.If it was really because of him, shouldn't he think of a way to help Nanchuan promote the 'plot' of his life experience?
"It's almost time." Shi Zheng, who stood silently in his place, glanced at the time.
Nan Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he greeted, "...Mr. Shi."
That day in the country N's smuggling den, the few seconds when Shi Zheng hugged his friend in his arms are vivid in his memory.Nan Chuan had a clear mind, and combined with those rumors, he naturally guessed the relationship between the two.It's just that he's not a meddlesome talker, he knows better that the friend he made is Yu Huaining...
If the other party doesn't admit it personally, he won't try to ask questions.
When Shi Zheng heard his greeting, he nodded calmly.
"Why are you all gathered at the entrance of the hall?" Lu Xingci came out from the hall, ending the short silence, "I thought you didn't come, I was just about to make a call."
Yu Huaining smiled politely at Lu Xingci's gaze, "Young Master Lu."
Hearing this call, Lu Xingci felt the strangeness in his words, and the smile on his lips froze slightly.
"There is less road."
Fortunately, Nan Chuan spoke in time, breaking the delicate stalemate.
"Grandpa is looking forward to you in the hall." Lu Xingci returned to his gentle smile, "Go in first."
"it is good."
A group of people entered the hall and walked straight to the old birthday star.Lu Xingci said, "Grandpa, everyone is here."
"Mr. Lu, there are some temporary delays on the road, so please don't mind me being late." Yu Huaining's words were still measured and decent, "I wish you good health, old man."
"Young Master Yu is polite." Old Mr. Lu nodded in satisfaction, carefully sizing up his appearance, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.
Lu Kaijie's crimes were exposed, although Mr. Lu was angry that he had raised a white-eyed wolf for so many years.But at the same time, after the matter of Yushi, his appreciation for the young man in front of him has reached a peak!He really didn't expect that although Yu Rende was not very good, his little grandson was a serious and excellent talent.
"Thanks to a few of you this time, I can get back the treasures of my life." Mr. Lu said, "I am grateful to you all, so please don't be restrained and polite today."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu."
As soon as the words fell, the hall door was pushed open again.When everyone heard the movement, they cast their gazes one after another.When Mr. Lu saw the leader, he unconsciously snorted, "What a rare visitor!"
I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, but Mr. Yu, who seldom goes out, rushed here with his whole family.
Shi Zheng and Yu Huaining looked at each other, he asked, considering the identity of the young man, "Do you want to go there?"
Yu Huaining took off his glasses, which were pretending to be gentle and still piercing the bridge of his nose, and muttered, "I don't know them well, so I can't go." Ever since Song Kunfu and Chen Yuyin had two old people, Yu Huaining took the indifferent and heartless Yu family even more lightly. up.
Just as he was talking, Yu Xian found the young man over there, and the disgust in his eyes flashed.
Seeing this, Shi Zheng moved slightly to block the young man, lest he suffer unnecessary 'hostile' attacks.
"Xing Ci." Mr. Lu shouted.
Lu Xingci understood, and pushed the wheelchair the old man was sitting on to meet him
Mr. Yu met them face to face, and greeted them in a deep voice, "Dechuan, I haven't seen you for so many years, how are you?"
"Thanks to you, it's very good!" Mr. Lu's answer was not very pleasant.
Everyone watching this scene was a little curious.It is said that the two old men had a good friendship when they were young, but it seems that this is not the case when they meet today?
Old Master Yu's face froze when he was humiliated in public.
Seeing this, Meng Zhen immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, our two families are family friends. Last time on the old man's birthday, both Young Master Lu and Miss Lu came. The old man heard from their brothers and sisters that you were ill a while ago and have been I kept it in mind, so I brought our family to see it today."
Let's talk, Meng Zhen approached Old Master Yu to comfort him, "Dad, don't be angry. The purpose of our coming here today depends on you to persuade."
Old Master Yu nodded slightly, calmed down, "Would you like me to sit down?"
Lu Xingci put his shoulders on the shoulders of his old man, and hurriedly greeted, "I don't know that Mr. Yu will come in person, but our Lu family is far away to welcome you. I'll ask someone to rearrange the big table immediately, please take a seat."
After finishing speaking, he approached the old man and whispered again, "Grandpa, at least you should save some face. Besides, Huaining is still here. You see that you are still letting people not restrain themselves, and they are on the back foot with his grandfather. How do you let him manage?"
Mr. Lu thought of the young man he valued, so he could only restrain himself, but he couldn't help thinking—how could such a good young man be the grandson of an old man like Yu Rende?
A few minutes later, a group of people sat around the banquet table.
Yu Xian saw Nan Chuan nearby, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.He learned to be smart this time, and he spoke with a somewhat dubious smile, "Mr. Nanchuan, I haven't seen you for a while, but you are getting more and more capable? I really didn't misunderstand you."
Nan Chuan's eyes darkened, he took a sip from his glass and ignored it.
The mad dog pretended to bite again, can he bite back?
Meng Zhen noticed the look of the former, and involuntarily touched her younger son under the table, and reprimanded her in a very low voice, "Xiao Xian! When it comes to adults, you young child, don't talk nonsense!"
Yu Xian snorted inaudibly, and stopped talking.
"Huai Ning and Nan Chuan helped us recover the stolen jade a few days ago, avoiding a huge loss. For the Lu family, they are undoubtedly honored guests." Lu Xingci recalled that day at the banquet. Encounter, very discerning for the two of them raised their identities.
Nan Chuan understood his hard work and gave him a grateful smile.
When Mr. Yu heard this, his usual stern eyes fell on his little grandson.The latter met his gaze with a calm expression, but without any extra emotion, "Grandpa."
Meng Zhen cast a hinting look at her honest and dull husband, but it was a pity that the other party was still not enlightened.In desperation, she had no choice but to find a reason to speak, "I heard that the case a while ago was quite big, and even Miss Lu was frightened?"
She looked around, her eyes filled with concern that seemed real or fake, "By the way, where is Qiao Yin? Why isn't she here?"
It's okay if you don't ask, but when you ask, the faces of Mr. Lu and Lu Xingci both change.
The Lu family blocked the news very well, so there was no unnecessary news about Lu Qiaoyin's facial injury.
The latter has been suffering from pain and mental torment for several days, and even his temperament has changed.There are a lot of people coming and going at today's banquet, so she naturally doesn't want to show up.
"Qiao Yin was frightened a while ago, and she is still recuperating." Lu Xingci replied tactfully.
"Why don't these juniors go and see it later?" Meng Zhen took the opportunity to ask, "At the banquet last time, Qiao Yin and our little Xian got along quite well."
Mr. Yu seemed to be awakened, and suggested at the right time, "Dechuan, your little granddaughter is about the same size as my Xiaoxian. Since our two families are family friends, why don't we let these two children get in touch?"
This is the real purpose of their coming here.
Meng Zhen really likes the little girl Lu Qiaoyin and intends to match her up.And Mr. Yu is completely considering the family foundation.The friendship between Yu and Lu has always been good. It was not until their generation that there were conflicts, and there was a lot of estrangement.
Mr. Yu knew that he was getting old, his eldest son Yu Weiguo was not up to the mark, and his eldest grandson Yu Xian was not yet ready... He had to restore his relationship with the various families so that the Yu family would not go downhill in the near future.
When Yu Huaining heard this, a hint of interest flickered in his eyes.He picked up his wine glass and watched the play in silence.
It is not uncommon for aristocratic families to marry. The deeper the foundation of the aristocratic family, the more unavoidable this special "bondage".Originally, Yu Huaining thought that Nan Chuan and Lu Qiaoyin, who were the male and female protagonists, had to be matched together.But after the incident in country N, he really hated Lu Qiaoyin to the extreme.
The other party has a heart of snakes and scorpions, and is really not worthy of a friend!It's better to do what the elders think - make Yu Xian and Lu Qiaoyin a pair, so as not to harm others!
When Mr. Lu heard this, he toasted for a while, trying to suppress the displeasure in his heart.
Ask Qiao Yin from their family to get in touch with Yu Xian?You, an old bastard, still want to hide your calculations from me?
"Contact? I don't think it's necessary." Mr. Lu didn't show any emotion on his face, pretending to be open-minded, "How can we let our elders make decisions about young people's feelings?"
Their Yu family obviously valued the relationship of marriage. If they knew that their little granddaughter's face was damaged, they would be envious of the playboy's appearance, and they might not be sincere to Qiao Yin at all!Old Mr. Lu didn't know about Lu Qiaoyin's evil thoughts in country N, but he still loved her at this moment, so he wouldn't push his little granddaughter into the pit of fire!
"De Chuan, what you said is wrong. In a family like ours, what the elders say will naturally count." Mr. Yu glanced at Yu Xian, and deliberately emphasized his words, "I think our Xiaoxian still has a good impression of Miss Lu. of."
Yu Xian's face flushed slightly when he heard this.
He is a person who cares about face, and now Mr. Yu exaggerated what he said in front of everyone without discussing it. He sounds really depressed!But in this situation, he can't deny it in public. I'm afraid it will only make Mr. Yu unhappy.
Seeing Yu Xian's deflated look, Yu Huaining couldn't help but suppress his smile.Shi Zheng approached him, and asked clearly, "Are you so happy when you see other people embarrassed?"
"If the object is Yu Xian, I'm naturally happy." Yu Huaining lowered his voice.Nan Chuan on the right heard this whispered speech, and a trifling smile appeared on his lips.
Yu Xian saw the secret smiles of both of them, and his heart was inevitably upset.But next, Mr. Lu's words completely ignited his embarrassment.
"Old Yu, let's forget it. To tell you the truth, if the two families really want to get married, I would also like your little grandson Yu Huaining."
"...cough!" Yu Huaining, who was drinking, choked suddenly, obviously he didn't expect that eating melon would make him choke.
"grandfather."
"Old Lu."
"Mr. Lu."
Three disapproving male voices sounded at the same time.Lu Xingci was helpless, Nan Chuan was restraining, and Shi Zheng was entirely out of possessiveness.
"Grandpa, don't mess with Huaining and Qiao Yin." Lu Xingci was aware of the conflict between the two of them, so he could only advise and cast an apologetic look at Yu Huaining.
Mr. Lu saw their big reaction, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and said, "What's wrong with being a handsome man? I was thinking, since Huaining can't be my grandson, it's better to be a grandson-in-law. "
Yu Huaining shook his head helplessly, and said straightly, "Mr. Lu, thank you for your love, but please don't take the opportunity to tease me. I'm really embarrassed by my thin skin."
This is very decent, it can be regarded as taking into account the face of Yu and Lu.
But in the ears of Yu Xian who was furious, it was obviously a kind of naked provocation and ridicule.
They are also the young masters of the Yu family, so why does Mr. Lu look up to that bastard Yu Huaining, but look down on him? !If this conversation spreads out, I'm afraid it will only make outsiders think that the young master of the Lu family is eager to pursue Miss Lu, but the Lu family is actually interested in the young master of the Yu family who has no such intentions and was kicked out of the house?
He can't afford to lose face!
Yu Xian had suffered a few times in front of Yu Huaining, but this time he endured it until his face turned livid.
The carpenter at the side saw all this scene in his eyes, he felt sorry for his young master, and couldn't help explaining, "Mr. Lu, the two young masters of our family are equally good. The young master is straightforward and doesn't have so many twists and turns." , I only suffered a loss and offended someone before... I can't compare to the young master who understands the world, can speak, and can walk between Lu Shao and Shi Zong, neither of which can be offended."
Straight?Don't know the ways of the world?Offend someone?
How did these adjectives seem familiar to him?Can the words originally used on the original owner be transferred to another person?
This wood butler is very eccentric!But he seemed to have forgotten that no matter how long he stayed in Yu's house, he was still an outsider.
"How can a servant talk so much!" Yu Huaining sneered, and immediately rant, "Butler, when it comes to the art of speaking, how can I compare with you? I'm afraid that everyone present can't understand, so come help me with a literal translation. What do you mean? Yes, I, Yu Huaining, sold my body back and forth between Lu Shao and Shi Zong, and then played them around with my tongue?"
"Oh? Who spread such dirty words?" Shi Zheng immediately helped the young man, his eyes getting colder.
"There is nothing, butler Wooden, please speak carefully." Lu Xingci immediately opened his mouth.
"Wooden Butler, please don't slander my friends in public!" Nan Chuan said righteously.
The wooden butler looked embarrassed, obviously he didn't expect the young man to target him sharply.He wanted to speak for Yu Xian, but the meaning of this was clearly the young man's own embellishment, which made him appear very exposed.But with only a few words, how could it be his fault?
"Yu Deren! Did you bring people here to deliberately cause trouble today?" Mr. Lu said, with a clear rebuke.Compared to the distinguished guest of the young man, the rest of Yu's family members came here uninvited, and he has long been fed up with this hypocritical conversation between the two parties!
"Old Mu, you made a slip of the tongue." Mr. Yu took care of his face and said a lesson.
The wooden butler became more and more embarrassed, so he could only bow his head and confess, "...Yes, I was wrong."
Yu Huaining looked at the wooden butler who was at the center of the conflict, with a sneer on his lips.
When he first replaced the original owner, he had several brief contacts with the wooden housekeeper.At that time, he didn't have enough strength, so he was very restrained in front of the opponent.But the other party seems to have made a mistake, he has never been a soft bun who is easy to bully.
Not only that, even Yu Huaining would never allow anyone to easily take advantage of his words!
"Yu Huaining, you don't have to deliberately make things difficult for the butler." Yu Xian couldn't help but opened his mouth, his eyes flicked back and forth between the young man and Shi Zheng, and said disdainfully, "You know what kind of person you are! The discerning people present also know it! "
"What kind of person am I?" Yu Huaining raised his eyebrows lightly, as if asking, "It seems that you don't know."
As soon as the voice fell, the hall was opened again.
Professor Lin Chengtian walked in with a middle-aged policeman in uniform.
Under the leadership of the waiter, the two quickly came to the main table of the banquet.The waiter explained to Mr. Lu, the protagonist, "Mr., these two said they wanted to see Young Master Yu. I think they have special identities, so they took the liberty to bring them in."
"Old Lu, long time no see." Lin Chengtian and Mr. Lu are old acquaintances.
"One day, you and this..." Old Mr. Lu nodded, thinking about his words, "What is this comrade here for?"
"Mr. Lu, I am Wei Qing, the head of the Border Smuggling Law Enforcement Department. Due to the rush of time, I begged Professor Lin Chengtian for a recommendation." Just as he was speaking, he took out his work certificate.He looked around, finally fixed his eyes on Yu Huaining, and said sonorously, "Comrade Yu Huaining, thanks to the precise positioning you sent, we successfully captured 27 illegal/legal/smuggling/smuggling persons, destroyed a Punish the crime/criminal dens, recover [-] smuggled/smuggled items, thank you for your support and contribution to the border smuggling/smuggling crackdown mission!"
Yu Huaining pursed his lips.
Everyone in the audience was stunned.
Before everyone could react, Wei Qing handed over a wrapped pennant, and not only that, he also took out a check with legal effect, "This is a commendation awarded to you by the organization after discussion. Comrade Yu Xiao, please take a look!"
"I'm sorry, Minister Wei." Yu Huaining took it with both hands, and he quickly glanced at the bonus on the check, the amount was not small.
Lin Chengtian smiled in satisfaction, and then said, "Young Master Yu, you should be clear about the purpose of my coming to you, right?"
for what purposeYou are quick to say!
The onlookers watched all this eagerly, and their curiosity almost burst out of their chests.
"The antiques and relics you donated are too expensive. After discussing with the director and deputy director of Liucheng Museum, they still plan to offer a sum of money to express their gratitude to you." Lin Chengtian fumbled for a clean and brand new check from his wallet, Please take it."
Everyone finally let out bursts of slight exclamation.
Is this another crackdown on smuggling/smuggling?Another donation?I really didn't realize that Young Master Yu is so capable?It's amazing!
The young master of the Yu family, Yu Xian, only knows how to eat, drink and play to ruin his family property. Isn't this far behind in comparison?It's like heaven and earth.
If they were Mr. Lu, they would definitely choose Young Master Yu as their grandson-in-law!
Yu Huaining looked around and had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions.His eyes swept over Yu Xian, and a trace of unfathomable smile burst out.The latter was so terrified by his laughter, he just felt that he was lifting a rock to shoot himself in the foot again!
Yu Xian, oh Yu Xian, let me show you what kind of person I am.
Thinking of this, Yu Huaining quickly turned around and asked Wei Qing and Lin Chengtian in front of him, "Can I confiscate these two bonuses? The mountain road from Ruicheng City to Taoxi'ao is really inconvenient. On top of this, add some money to build a concrete road.”
If Taoxiao wants to develop the wine industry, the mountain roads in and out must be rebuilt.Yu Huaining took advantage of this opportunity to fight for another wave of 'face' for himself.
Lin Chengtian remembered the tortuous road into the mountain that day, and nodded hastily, "It's all a bonus for Young Master Yu, of course you can use it freely."
A hint of surprise flashed in Wei Qing's eyes.Before he came again, he had heard from the anti-smuggling team that this young man named Yu Huaining had great potential.Originally, he still didn't understand, but now that he saw it, he realized that Yu Huaining was really extraordinary!The other party didn't have the slightest impetuousness of his peers, but instead had a calmness that didn't match his age.
"It's really valuable for a little comrade to have this kind of ideological awareness." Wei Qing no longer held back, his eyes were full of admiration, "Wei is not talented, and he may sit in today's position. After all, he has accumulated some connections. Comrade Yu Xiao If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just come to me. As long as I can help, I will naturally do my best."
"Thank you Minister Wei for your appreciation."
"Master Yu, what I mean is the same as Minister Wei's." Lin Chengtian naturally had a good impression of the young man.He looked at Mr. Yu at the side, and couldn't help but raise his voice, "Mr. Yu, your little grandson is amazing."
It was the first time for Mr. Yu to hear these things, and while he was shocked, he had to nod pretending to be calm.
"Since we want to build some mountain roads, I, Lu Dechuan, can help out as Young Master Yu!" Old Mr. Lu was worried that he had no way to thank Yu Huaining, so he immediately expressed his opinion after hearing this.After all, he cast a provocative look at Mr. Yu.
The latter pretended to cough and had to put on a show, "Huai Ning, you have performed well these days, and you have made our Yu family proud. If you need money, just ask grandpa for it."
A cunning flashed in Yu Huaining's eyes, and he quickly responded, "Yes."
In fact, he knew that Lin Chengtian wanted to find his purpose, but he kept using excuses to not meet each other.Before the banquet started, he learned that Wei Qing had come to Liucheng...
After thinking for a while, Yu Huaining asked the system to contact the former by text message, asking him to bring Wei Qing along.
After what happened just now, not only the two great families of Yu and Lu became his backers "falsely or sincerely", but even relevant personnel in the field of culture, sports, military and politics have also spoken out for him one after another. Who else can have this special treatment? ?
As long as this matter gets out through the mouths of everyone at the banquet, he will gain a firm foothold in Liucheng's celebrity circle!
Yu Huaining glanced at Shi Zheng beside him, showing a deep smile that only the other party could understand.
In this world, accumulating money is important, but power and connections are equally important!
The author has something to say: Yuyu: The wealth, power, and connections I want are all indispensable!
Mr. Shi: Well, the little fox is awesome~~
