In Lu Qingxuan's eyes, even though the Lu family members suppressed their true emotions at Old Master Lu's birthday banquet, everyone explained themselves in the most appropriate way. She saw it all clearly.

The only person she couldn't understand was Chen Ya. The fundamental reason she couldn't understand him was that she hadn't seen him since that day when she tried to light fireworks in the suburbs of Beijing.

She didn't want to show that she really wanted to see that person, but in fact she was waiting for Chen Ya to contact her every day, and she waited for half a month.

With Old Master Lu's birthday banquet approaching and Chen Ya still nowhere to be seen, she had no choice but to compromise and call Lu Ruixiang to ask if Chen Ya was still alive.

"We don't know where Chen Ya has gone," Lu Ruixiang said. "He left in such a hurry that we're not even sure if he's still in the capital."

"So, he ran away, right?" Lu Qingxuan said emotionlessly, "Then he doesn't plan to attend Old Master Lu's birthday party tomorrow?"

"That's definitely not the case. He said he would attend the birthday party."

"He should indeed attend," Lu Qingxuan's voice remained cold. "His seat is at the front, the table closest to the old man. It doesn't look good to leave that seat empty."

Lu Ruixiang didn't know that Chen Ya's position was arranged at the front. She was a little surprised when she suddenly found out and asked:

"Why is he sitting there? Isn't he sitting in the side hall with our family?"

"Grandma thinks highly of him."

Lu Qingxuan simply said this, but it couldn't be said that there was no threat in her words.

She did not tell Lu Ruixiang that Chen Ya's seat was actually the result of her own arrangement and various coincidences. This caused Lu Ruixiang to have a lot of imagination after hearing it, and she took a breath.

"Then, our family's seats..."

"You and your family should sit in the side hall." Lu Qingxuan's words dispelled all of Lu Ruixiang's fantasies.

Lu Ruixiang held the phone tightly, her knuckles turning white from exerting too much force, and her palms were covered in sweat. She said in a dry voice:

"We will definitely find Chen Ya and ask him to attend on time. However, we really can't contact him recently. If he still can't attend the birthday party by tomorrow, can we adjust his schedule?"

"Adjust? How do I adjust? Do you know who's sitting at that table? Qin Yunchu, Gu Yuqing... Have you ever thought about how complicated things would become if I made adjustments? It might even get to Grandma. I don't want Grandma to know about this."

Lu Ruixiang was so nervous that her breathing became uneven. She quickly said, "Okay, okay, we will definitely find him."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qingxuan showed an evil smile.

She knew that because of this phone call, Lu Ruixiang would definitely try every possible way to put pressure on Chen Ya. But Lu Qingxuan couldn't be blamed for this, it was all his own fault - who made him disappear?

After finishing the call with her, Lu Ruixiang's focus was completely elsewhere.

She is from the Lu family's branch and is not as well-informed as other Lu family members. This is the first time she knows that Gu Yuqing will also come to attend Old Master Lu's birthday party.

The Lu family actually arranged Chen Ya to sit at Gu Yuqing's table, which was enough to show how high Chen Ya's status in the hearts of the grandmother and others had risen in just one month in Beijing.

Lu Ruixiang quickly gathered the entire family together—everyone except Chen Ya—and told them the content of her conversation with Lu Qingxuan, and asked them to do their best to contact Chen Ya.

Apart from Chen Hai's jealousy, her small family meeting did not produce any results, and Chen Ya still could not contact anyone.

No one could get through to Chen Ya on the phone, and he didn’t respond to messages, as if he had disappeared.

Except Lu Qianzi.

Lu Qianzi secretly sent a message to Chen Ya without telling anyone:

"Are you really not going to come tomorrow?"

After a while, a message came back quickly:

"I'm dealing with a serious matter. But it should be over by tomorrow."

Seeing this line of words, Lu Qianzi calmly turned off the phone screen.

Chen Ya had never used the word "serious" to describe anything, which made Lu Qianzi a little worried.

Moreover, even if he dealt with this matter, would he show up at the birthday party?

He didn't say.

…

The suspense of whether Chen Ya would appear remained until the day of the birthday party.

6pm, Mingyue Tower.

The red carpet is paved, brocade is served on the table, and the decorations are colorful.

Groups of people came in their best attire, and various luxury cars, including Rolls-Royce and Porsche, drove into the parking lot one after another.

Passersby were stunned by the spectacle – which of Beijing's celebrities was having a party? Judging by the number of cars, at least half the wealthy and powerful were here.

Their prediction was wrong, because more than half of the wealthy clubs in the circle came.

All the wealthy families in the capital circle came here.

Mingyue Tower was completed around 10 years ago. 10 years have passed since then. The owner of the 85-story restaurant, who has a billionaire fortune, is now standing at the entrance of the hall, rubbing his hands and bowing his head, greeting every guest who comes here.

Even in the entire history of Mingyue Tower since its completion, today is considered one of the most grand days.
