Chapter 138 Attending the Chu Family Banquet

Three days later, in the early morning, the sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains and gently fell on the bedroom floor.

Today is the birthday banquet of the old man of the Chu family. A grand and solemn family gathering is about to begin.

Li Ruochu stood in front of the mirror, dressing herself up carefully.

She was wearing a neo-Chinese style skirt, the cut of which was just right, perfectly outlining her slender figure.

The elegant colors, delicate buttons, and the traditional embroidery faintly visible on the hem of the skirt all demonstrate the elegance and charm of Chinese style.

It makes her look decent and dignified, like a classical beauty walking out of a painting.

Feng Yizhou looked at Li Ruchu in the mirror as she was concentrating on dressing up, his eyes full of love and appreciation.

He walked over gently, hugged her slender waist tenderly from behind, put his chin gently on her shoulder, and whispered: "I don't want you to go, what's the matter!"

The special look in Chu Yanzhen's eyes when he looked at Li Ruochu emerged in his mind. When he thought that Chu Yanzhen might still be thinking about Li Ruochu, he inexplicably felt jealous.

He secretly thanked his luck that he acted early enough, otherwise Li Ruchu would have been deceived by that brat Chu Yanzhen long ago.

In his opinion, only someone like Shen Yubai who doesn't know how to cherish would not regard Li Ruchu as a rare treasure in the world.

"Don't worry, I will make it clear to President Chu this time!" Li Ruochu turned his head slightly and looked at Feng Yizhou, his eyes revealing determination and tenderness.

She had already keenly felt Chu Yanzhen's affection for her.

Every time, when Chu Yanzhen's eyes revealed different emotions and he seemed to want to express them, she cleverly changed the subject and prevented him from breaking the window paper.

After all, she knew in her heart that she had no romantic feelings for Chu Yanzhen, and she didn't want to delay his pursuit of true happiness because of herself.

"It doesn't matter, I still have confidence in myself!" Feng Yizhou raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile.

He believed that the relationship between him and Li Ruchu was as solid as a rock and could not be easily shaken by others.

After saying that, he let go of Li Ruochu, but his eyes still stayed on her, as if he could never look enough.

Li Ruochu turned around, stretched out his hand and gently poked Feng Yizhou's chest, smiled at him and said, "You are so conceited!"

Her smile was like the spring sun, warm and bright, making the whole room seem a little brighter.

After the two of them were ready, they held hands and went to Chu Yanzhen's home together.

Along the way, the sunshine shone on them, as if covering them with a layer of golden gauze, reflecting their happy outlines.

There was a lot of activity in front of the Chu family mansion.

Chu Yanzhen and Chu Xi were standing at the door, busy welcoming the endless stream of guests.

Chu Yanzhen was dressed in a finely tailored dark suit, looking elegant and graceful. He always had a decent smile on his face, and his every move showed elegance and composure.

Chu Xi was wearing casual yet fashionable clothes, and her young face was full of youthful vitality.

When Chu Xi saw Li Ruochu and Feng Yizhou coming together, his expression changed slightly, and a hint of surprise and disappointment flashed in his eyes.

He looked at Li Ruochu and couldn't help curling his lips, pretending to be dissatisfied and said: "Sister Chu, why are you with Feng Yizhou?"

The tone of his voice was just like that of a child who had been wronged.

"What's wrong?" Li Ruochu looked at Chu Xi's expression and found it a little funny, so he couldn't help but ask softly.

"He's not as handsome as me. Do you want to consider breaking up with him and being with me?" Chu Xi didn't hide the fact that Feng Yizhou was right next to him and started to poach her right in front of him.

As he spoke, he deliberately puffed out his chest, trying to show his charm.

Feng Yizhou's expression changed instantly. He looked at Chu Xi in a feigned anger and could not help but complain, "Little brat, when will you grow up and come to snatch my wife from me?"

After saying that, he held Li Ruochu's hand tightly, interlocking their fingers.

He even deliberately raised their clasped hands a little higher, deliberately showing his affection in front of Chu Xi, as if announcing to the world that Li Ruchu was his only one.

When Chu Yanzhen saw the intimacy between the two people, a barely perceptible sadness flashed across his eyes, but he quickly adjusted his mood.

Still with a decent smile on his face, he said, "Come on, sit inside!"

However, his slightly clenched fists revealed the difficult-to-speak complex emotions in his heart, but he tried his best to control it and not show it too obviously.

Walking into the Chu family mansion, it was indeed very lively.

The gorgeous crystal chandelier casts brilliant light, illuminating the entire spacious hall.

The guests were dressed in their best clothes, chatting in groups of three or five, with laughter and joy, and the air was filled with a cheerful and warm atmosphere.

As soon as Chu Xiong and Lin Shuyi saw Li Ruochu and Feng Yizhou come in, warm smiles immediately broke out on their faces and they hurried forward to greet them.

They like Li Ruchu from the bottom of their hearts.

I still remember when Li Ruchu came to our house to attend a banquet, our family was facing a difficult crisis and the situation was very awkward and tense.

However, Li Ruochu deftly resolved the crisis with her intelligence and wit, making everyone present look at her with admiration.

From then on, Chu Xiong and Lin Shuyi couldn't help but think in their hearts, how great it would be if Li Ruchu could become their daughter-in-law.

It’s a pity that Li Ruchu was already married at that time, and they could only bury this beautiful expectation deep in their hearts.

Later, I heard that Shen Yubai had done something despicable like cheating on his wife.

Lin Shuyi also secretly thought that this might be an opportunity, and she had to let her son seize it quickly, maybe he could create a good story with Li Ruochu.

But who would have thought that Li Ruochu is now together with Feng Yizhou again. It seems that their two sons do not have this blessing after all.

"Uncle and aunt, hello!" Li Ruochu smiled, her voice clear and pleasant, like a spring flowing in the mountains. She bowed slightly, her manners were elegant and decent, showing her self-restraint.

"Chu Chu, why haven't you come to our house to play recently? Your uncle and I hope you can come to our house more often!"

Lin Shuyi held Li Ruochu's hand affectionately, her eyes full of sincerity and expectation.

She held Li Ruochu's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that she would disappear in the next second.

"A lot of things have happened recently, and I've been a bit busy, so I haven't come to bother you. I'll definitely come over if I have the chance in the future!"

Li Ruochu explained patiently with a smile in his eyes.

Her smile is like the warm spring sunshine, making people feel like they are in the spring breeze.

"Okay, okay, I really like you, kid. Please come to our house when you have time!" Lin Shuyi nodded repeatedly, and for a moment she was reluctant to let go of Li Ruochu's hand.

It is not known when Feng Yizhou will break up with Li Ruchu. If that happens, their son might have another chance.

After Li Ruochu spoke a few words to the two of them, he gently withdrew his hand, gestured to them with a smile, and then followed Feng Yizhou to sit on the soft sofa beside them.

Feng Yizhou frowned slightly, looking at the familiarity between Li Ruochu and the Chu Xiong couple, and couldn't help but ask: "You seem to be very familiar with them. Did you come here often before?"

There was a barely perceptible hint of jealousy in his eyes. He picked up the champagne on the table, took a sip, and asked casually.

"There will be some interactions when we work together!" Li Ruochu explained. Her voice was calm and steady, trying to appease Feng Yizhou's faint jealousy.

"I'm considering whether I should cut off business dealings with the Chu Group in the future!" Feng Yizhou took another big sip of champagne, as if the champagne could extinguish the nameless fire in his heart.
