Chapter 131 It feels more like luring the tiger away from the mountain

Meng Anran sneered, "What do you mean by main wife? There is no one else besides you."

Qin Mu seemed very satisfied with the answer and moved closer to do something intimate.

A series of ringing interrupted his interest.

Meng Anran grabbed the phone and took a look. It was a call from Lu Yi.

I have hardly contacted Lu Heng and Lu Yi in the past few years. Lu Heng, the president of Lu Group, should be the representative to attend the charity reception tonight. Why would Lu Yi contact her at this time?

After hesitating for a moment, she answered the call.

"What's up?"

"I haven't seen my sister for a few years, and she's still so cold. It makes me, as her brother, very sad!"

Lu Yi's playful teasing voice came out, and Meng Anran's face suddenly turned cold. "If you have nothing else, hang up."

"Hey!" Lu Yi stopped joking and complained: "How come your temper hasn't changed at all? Qin Mu can actually stand you."

Meng Anran was speechless. "What do you want from me? If you don't tell me, I'll really die."

Lu Yi said lazily: "I'm in Hai City. Will you take me in to the party tonight?"

The Qinghe Club was an invitation to the Lu Group, and Lu Heng attended on behalf of the Lu Group. The outside world believed that he and Lu Heng were not on good terms and should not attend together.

But he couldn't get in without an invitation, so he could only look for Meng Anran.

Meng Anran raised her eyebrows, "Would it be reasonable for you to come in with me?"

"Of course, you and I have a deep brother-sister relationship, and we both dislike Lu Heng, so it makes sense for us to go together!"

The shameless person is invincible in the world, and that is Lu Yi.

A deep love between brother and sister? If they weren't brothers and sisters, where would the deep love come from?

Meng Anran was too lazy to curse. She came here just to see Duan Xi. Bringing Lu Yi, this mad dog, in to mess things up would be a good way to give Duan Xi a warning.

Just get the people in and enjoy the show.

…

The venue of the charity reception was decorated luxuriously and solemnly, and the Qinghe Club's logo shone brightly under the lights.

The guests were dressed in formal attire and chatting and laughing, but who knows how many conspiracies and intrigues were hidden behind this seemingly prosperous scene.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Meng Anran took Qin Mu's arm and slowly walked into the venue. On the other side was Lu Yi, whom she shamelessly asked to be brought in.

Lu Yi looked around at the guests coming and going and found that they were all from the Shanghai circle. It seemed that Duan Xi only sent invitations to Lu, Rui Ming and Yun Duan from the Beijing circle. His intention was very obvious.

"Qinghe Club is a charity union founded by Duan Xi. They planned today's cocktail party in the name of Qinghe Club. Duan Xi is still hiding his true identity." Lu Yi smiled casually with his thin lips and whispered to the person next to him.

Meng Anran put on a generous and decent smile, "Didn't Duan Jingyao tell you about Duan Xi's background?"

"Hmph, how much can a chess piece know? Before Duan Jingyao went to study in Beijing, Duan Xi trained him to be a venomous snake with a heart filled with hatred for the Lu family, yet she never brought him to any public occasions. Even Duan Jingyao only knew that she was the president of the Qinghe Association and knew nothing else."

This woman was insidious, cunning, and scheming. When she planned the drama of substituting a cat for a prince more than 20 years ago, she had the foresight to set up the drama of the real and fake daughter more than 10 years later.

The Lu family firmly believed that Bai Yujin's third child was a daughter, and the appearance of Lu Qingcheng would be the curtain call of this drama.

Who would have thought that even Lu Qingcheng was just an illegitimate daughter, and the real "Prince" had been raised by her side?

"I'm a little curious about how deep the hatred and resentment Duan Xi has towards the Lu family is, to the point of spending decades trampling the Lu family to death." Lu Yi sneered, then added: "But she went to so much trouble to invite us here, so shouldn't she be treating us to a good show?"

It is well known that he and Lu Heng have a very complicated relationship. Every time they meet, they either quarrel or fight. So it is reasonable for the two sworn enemies to meet at the banquet today and turn the venue upside down, right?

Meng Anran chuckled, "Don't forget this is the Qinghe Club in Hai City, Duan Xi's territory. I just saw no less than thirty security guards outside. If things get really chaotic, aren't you afraid of being kicked out?"

"Tsk! I really don't take the Qinghe Club seriously." Lu Yi disagreed. He dared to make trouble in the Beijing circle, not to mention that these people here are all small fry.

The person who dares to control Lu Yi hasn't been born yet!

Meng Anran smiled slightly and did not refute. She brought Lu Yi in just to make him make a fuss.

It would be better to tear down the entire banquet hall. Only a gift of this magnitude would be worthy of the first meeting with Duan Xi.

"Here." Lu Yi took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Meng Anran, "Don't say that brother doesn't take care of you."

Meng Anran curled the corners of his lips, took the box and put it in his suit pocket.

Lu Yi looked around and prepared for his big show.

Qin Mu put his arm around Meng Anran's waist. The distance between them was very close. Even though the venue was noisy, they could still hear each other clearly by lowering their voices.

"Except for us and the Lu Heng brothers, everyone at this banquet is from the Shanghai community. Plus, Duan Jingyao deliberately reminded us, it seems Duan Xi wants to do more than just meet with us."

"Yeah." Meng Anran understood what Qin Mu meant and continued, "It's like they specially prepared a stage for us."

Qin Mu's eyes darkened a little. If it was just a stage for Meng Anran and Lu Heng to fight each other, then why was Yunduan Group also involved?

Just because he and Meng Anran are in a relationship, Duan Xi thinks the situation will become even uglier if he is present?

Not like that.

"It feels... more like luring the tiger away from the mountain."

Meng Anran was stunned for a moment. She hadn't thought of this aspect. "You mean, Duan Xi invited us to Hai City in order to attack our group?"

But no matter how I think about it, it doesn't make sense. Duan Xi has been eyeing the Lu family covetously. If she wanted to lure the tiger away from the mountain to attack the Lu family, why did she transfer her and Qin Mu away as well?

Given the hostile relationship between her and Lu Heng, are you still afraid that she will intervene and help?

"I don't know." Qin Mu couldn't see through it either, but he had a vague premonition.

Soon, their eyes caught sight of a figure chatting with someone in the middle of the banquet hall.

The woman was in her early forties, wearing a pure white halter-neck evening gown, her short hair curled into an exquisite curve, her makeup bright and elegant, and her demeanor graceful and elegant.

He has a slim figure, but his exposed arms have obvious muscle lines. From the signs of exercise on his body, we can judge that this person is not only smart, but also very self-disciplined in his lifestyle.

Such a person must be a strong opponent.

Although they had never met before, Meng Anran was very sure that the other party was the mysterious "aunt" - Duan Xi.
