Shen Yao had nightmares for several days, dreaming of scarcity and even hunger. This unusual premonition made her wonder if she was going to transmigrate back to decades ago.
Panicked, she im...
At nine o'clock in the morning, the Lu and Qin families arrived at the Imperial Hotel on time.
After the two families arrived at the hotel, they exchanged greetings and then went about their business.
Today is the engagement party held by the Lu and Qin families.
Naturally, there were quite a few people who came to curry favor with them, and everyone wanted to take this opportunity to establish a relationship with these two families.
After all, the Lu family is a political family, and Mr. Lu had been a senior official at the seventh administrative level many years ago.
Lu Zhiming's position was not bad either. He was rated as administrative level 13 a few years ago. Although Lu Zhiqiang was a little lower, he was also an administrative level 18 official.
Political families like this are exactly the ones that everyone usually wants to curry favor with.
Therefore, after learning that Lu Beiyu was holding an engagement banquet at the Imperial Hotel today, even though some people did not receive the invitation, they all took the initiative to come and congratulate.
These people not only want to establish a relationship with the Lu family, but also want to take advantage of this good opportunity to curry favor with the Qin family.
After all, the Qin family, which is married to the Lu family, is an ancient martial arts family in the imperial capital. Not everyone can have the opportunity to make friends with it.
The people from the Lu and Qin families have been very busy. Since they arrived at the hotel, distinguished guests have been coming from all over the place.
Both Grandpa Qin and Grandpa Lu had smiles on their faces as they greeted the people who came to congratulate them.
The two were in a very happy mood, smiling to everyone they met, and their tone was cheerful and easy-going.
Just looking at them like this, they look like two amiable old people.
After Qin Shiyou greeted a few friends, he asked his eldest son to lead everyone into the hotel and help arrange seats for everyone.
He scanned the crowd around him with his eyes that contained a hint of darkness.
It seemed that almost all the guests for the banquet had arrived, except for the unfavored grandson of the Lu family.
Qin Shiyou turned his head to look at Lu Huaiguo and asked with a smile, "Brother Lu, today is a big day for the Lu family. Your grandson is not even attending such an important occasion?
No matter what, he and Beiyu are brothers with the same blood, and that kinship relationship cannot be erased.
As the eldest brother, he not only didn't help with his brother's engagement, but also deliberately didn't attend. Isn't his behavior too much?"
When Lu Huaiguo heard Qin Shiyou mention the traitorous grandson, his expression suddenly turned ugly.
Whenever he thought of what that rebellious grandson had done in the past few years, he became so angry that his teeth itched and he wished he could pick up a whip and beat him severely.
Lu Huaiguo suppressed his anger and said, "Don't mention that bastard. He is such an ungrateful person. He has no other ability except bringing shame to my Lu family. There is no need for such a rubbish to stay in the Lu family."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Qin Shiyou and then promised, "Brother Qin, you can rest assured that there will be no other candidate for the successor of the Lu family except Beiyu. After Xiaoyu and Xiaoyun get married, I will slowly hand over the Lu family to Xiaoyu."
Lu Huaiguo snorted in his heart, did he really think that he didn't know what this old man meant by what he said?
Isn't it because you are afraid that he won't hand over the Lu family to Xiaoyu?
What's more, he has said so much. If Lu Huaiguo still doesn't understand, then all his decades in the officialdom would have been in vain.
"Haha - Brother Lu is indeed a man who values friendship and loyalty!" Qin Shiyou nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile, "But don't worry, my Qin family has also prepared a rich dowry for Xiaoyun. She will marry into the Lu family and become the mistress of the house. Your Lu family will not suffer any loss. Moreover, with my Qin family as a backer, it can also help Beiyu to have a smoother career in officialdom!"
Lu Huaiguo turned his head and looked at him, then smiled cheerfully and complimented Qin Shiyou a few more times. However, there was a hint of dissatisfaction hidden in his eyes.
The banquet was about to begin, but no one from the Zheng and Song families showed up.
Seeing this situation, Qin Zhishan immediately understood that the two families obviously had no intention of coming.
He walked up to Qin Shiyou and shouted respectfully, "Dad, the visiting cards sent out, except for the Zheng family and the Song family, no one is present, the others are all here."
After hearing that no one from the Zheng family and the Song family showed up, the smile on Qin Shiyou's face disappeared completely in an instant.
A hint of darkness flashed in his eyes, and he said gloomily, "The Qin family and the Zheng family have been at odds for a long time. It's understandable that Old Man Zheng didn't come, but why didn't Old Man Song come either?"
Qin Zhishan shook his head. He had doubts about the Song family's actions. He didn't understand why someone who usually moved around suddenly missed important occasions of the Qin family.
"Okay, let's have dinner!" Qin Shiyou looked at the street outside the hotel and said coldly, "It doesn't matter if those two families don't come. Since they don't give my Qin family face, after I finish Xiaoyun's matter, I will contact them abroad and completely destroy those two families."
After saying this, Qin Shiyou shook his sleeves, suppressed the anger in his heart, and walked into the hotel with Qin Zhishan.
Mr. Song, who was being targeted by Qin Shiyou, was sitting in the car with Zheng Yaozu, trying to grab the spiritual tea. The two old men were fighting fiercely in the car for the good tea.
Before the meal started at noon, Lu Huaiguo stood on the stage and said with a smile, "Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the engagement banquet of the Lu and Qin families! Today is the engagement ceremony of my Lu family's eldest grandson, Lu Beiyu, and the Qin family's proud daughter, Qin Yun!
Here, I see the pride of the Lu family, who are about to start a family. As Xiaoyu's grandfather, I feel very gratified and I only hope that he can become more and more outstanding after starting a family!"
Lu Beiyu stood beside Grandpa Lu. When he heard his grandfather praising him, he immediately raised his head and a proud smile appeared on his face.
"Yo-When will an illegitimate child born to a mistress be qualified to become the eldest son of the Lu family? Could it be that the Lu family has fallen to such a state that no one is left that they treat an illegitimate child as a treasure?"
Jun Qi walked lazily and slowly appeared at the lobby door. He leaned against the door frame, crossed his arms over his chest, and spoke in a casual and sarcastic tone.
He looked up at the Lu family standing on the platform. His eyes were full of contempt and disgust. Even the smile at the corner of his mouth was full of obvious contempt.
When Du Ya heard this, her body trembled with anger. She pointed at Jun Qi and yelled at him fiercely.
"What nonsense are you talking about? My Xiaoyu is the legitimate eldest son and grandson of the Lu family. When did he become an illegitimate child? You are talking nonsense."
Jun Qi sneered and rolled his eyes at Du Ya. He raised his hand to pick his ears and slowly began to question.
"Grandma, if your memory is not good, please go to the hospital for treatment immediately. Don't go out and wander around, or your brain will become dull.
If your son is really the eldest son of the Lu family, then I would like to ask, who is he to the Lu family as he was born to the real mistress of the Lu family, Ms. Jun Qingwan?"
It's so fucking disgusting!
He had never seen such shameless people from the Lu family.
Obviously, his master is the real eldest son of the Lu family. But now, this group of malicious people actually said that Lu Beiyu is the eldest son of the Lu family.
He really wanted to ask Mr. Lu, didn’t you feel like you were biting your tongue when you said this?
