Wearing a Zhongshan suit, Mr. Lu had white hair creeping up his temples, and his drooping eyelids could not hide the determination and sharpness in his eyes, as well as the wisdom accumulated over the years.
The old men who came out with him were about the same age and looked similar, and they inspired respect in everyone who saw them.
Their eyes seemed to record the trials and triumphs of their lives.
Old Master Lu narrowed his eyes, and in the blink of an eye, he seemed to see through everything in the banquet hall.
When he looked up again, his eyes were filled with kindness and tolerance: "Good, good, Chen, you are a handsome and intelligent comrade."
This young girl from the Chen family has clear and honest eyes; she's a very likable girl.
As for the fact that they are from the Chen family, there's no problem with that either.
But the problem is, couldn't that brat Lao Qi have given us a heads-up beforehand?
He was still trying to save face for the young lady at his father's birthday banquet, which was as unappealing as ever.
When I was a child, I was like a rigid old man; now that I'm grown up, I'm like a child again, without any sense of propriety.
Then, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of his seventh son, whose eyes were brimming with anticipation and surprise, and whose lips were pursed in a smile. He was truly a disgrace.
Immediately, Old Master Lu casually pushed Lu Zhengjing aside, saying, "Get out of the way."
Then, with a smile, he invited a few old friends to sit down and eat.
"Come, everyone, please take a seat. Thank you for giving me face, old friend."
"Old Lu, your Lu family has double happiness today."
Your seventh son has excellent taste; he and this Miss Chen are quite the bickering couple.
And your grandson, the Shen family boy, also has good taste, making decisive choices. The two of them, uncle and nephew, are like brothers, respectful and loving.
Grandpa Liu seemed to have discovered something interesting, and feigned surprise and congratulations.
He barely spoke each morning, feeling depressed.
Everyone says his son, Liu Hao, married a country girl who was not presentable and even used dirty tricks.
Now, the seventh son of the Lu family has also found a girl from the county town.
Moreover, they were from the Chen family, whom neither the Lu nor Chen families had previously looked down upon.
There have been quite a few rumors and jokes about it before.
After he finished speaking, he looked at the Shen family, hoping that the Shen family and the Lu family would have some conflict, and also the Li family.
As soon as Old Master Liu said this, the banquet hall fell silent.
Old Master Lu narrowed his eyes, and the Lu family members' expressions also changed slightly.
At this moment, among those present, only Elder Jiang was the most suitable to come to the rescue.
He said calmly, "Old Liu, you haven't even had a drink yet, and you're already talking nonsense."
"Old Lu, hurry up and have the food served! We're all starving, and the guests are waiting!"
"..." Old Master Liu coughed twice to cover himself up, knowing when to stop.
Actually, he was just in a bad mood and did it on purpose. Just now, inside, he received news that the Qin family had sent birthday gifts to the Lu family.
The Lu family is now at its zenith. The third son of the Lu family works in the Supervisory Commission, the fifth son of the Lu family works in the military, and the young third generation, Lu Jinyang, also works in the military.
The other members of the Lu family also worked in different units and held different positions.
Then there's Lu Laoqi, who's a bit hard to figure out. He's young, but he left the military to go into business.
This little incident passed quickly, but the people on the field had different thoughts.
All the esteemed guests, please take your seats.
Lu Zhengde, the eldest son, stepped onto the stage and said a few simple words of courtesy: "Thank you all for attending my father's seventieth birthday banquet..."
Led by Lu Zhengjing, Chen Xihua sat down at the table with Lu Zhengren and his wife. She smiled and understood.
The Liu family really has a bad family tradition; even the elders aren't very open-minded.
With just two sentences, he belittled three families, especially the Chen family, using veiled sarcasm to subtly criticize them.
Liu Wucheng, who was younger, had flirted with her at the Fengting Club two years ago.
I was there at the time, and that group of spoiled rich kids were still giving the three sisters all sorts of teasing and mocking looks.
Lu Zhengjing, with his keen eyes and deep, unfathomable gaze, instinctively looked at his nephew Changxing first.
Actually, he had nothing to worry about, nor did he feel he had let Changxing down.
Then, Lu Zhengjing withdrew his gaze and glanced casually at the Liu family.
The person next to Liu Wenqing should be a member of the Mo family, Mo Ziqin.
Some time ago, Lu Zhengjing, who was focused on the company, discovered something interesting while working on projects at the overseas branch.
The Liu family, the Mo family!
Since the Mo family wants to cooperate with Jingsheng Group, he will give the second young master Mo a chance to see how he wants to cooperate.
Over there, Liu Wenqing looked relaxed, enjoying the show.
He was in a good mood and quite interested, so he began to sip his wine.
It seems that Shen Changxing went to the Nightclub in casual clothes that night because of that minor celebrity Chen Meihua, after all, she is Lu Zhengjing's future aunt.
In addition, Shen Changxing, whose family members were the focus of attention on the field, had a calm and natural expression.
He genuinely didn't feel that his uncle was embarrassing him.
Back then, his uncle had seriously asked for his opinion. Just now, he was somewhat surprised, yet also relieved.
Even his uncle could take a liking to that Chen family girl; she was indeed a good person. He hadn't made a mistake in liking her back then.
He also knew that his wife and mother were watching his reaction.
Shen Changxing smiled and turned to Li Hualin. Seeing the unease in her eyes, he responded with a firm and serious expression.
He has no regrets and will not let her down.
As for his mother, Shen Changxing could only show her his indignant gaze; he couldn't argue with her.
Lu Zhengnan was indeed burning with rage, his expression somewhat ferocious, showing signs of going mad.
Just like when I was sent to the countryside, I learned about Feng Lanjiao and she wanted to seduce my husband.
She felt betrayed by the seventh brother.
The results of the investigation back then were handled by Lao Qi, so he was aware of them.
Back then, didn't Lao Qi also tell Changxing not to date that eldest daughter of the Chen family?
Now look what's happened; he's been bewitched and blinded by lust, completely deceived by the Chen family.
What a clever tactic! These three Chen sisters are all stunningly beautiful and use their looks to please men.
Did she think that by using her beauty to please and depend on men, she could rise to the top and marry into a wealthy family?
How despicable and hateful!
Then Chen Laosan's plan backfired. He got pregnant out of wedlock, thinking that he would be accepted after getting pregnant and giving birth, but he was still abandoned.
The seventh brother must have lost his memory, which is why he was tricked. When she gets home after the banquet, she'll definitely give him a good scolding to wake him up.
"Mom, calm down!" Shen Changxing and his father Shen Jianping, one on each side, quietly comforted Lu Zhengnan.
Shen Jianping felt both heartache and helplessness: "Zhengnan, I'm here. My son and I are both here."
You need to trust your son; we just need to live our own lives well.
"Don't concern yourself with Lao Qi's affairs. He's had eccentricities since childhood, and even your father-in-law's words won't change anything."
There was no other way for Shen Jianping but to tease his brother-in-law a bit. He had to go along with his wife's current situation.
At this moment, in the banquet hall, the restaurant waiters began serving dishes one after another.
Li Hualin, not knowing what smelled, suddenly began to vomit violently.
This situation instantly brought Lu Zhengnan to his senses and made him calm down.
"Zhengnan, is your daughter-in-law pregnant?"
"If she gets pregnant, will the Shen family allow her to give birth?"
"Have another one? Wouldn't that be exceeding the limit for a second child? After all, both husband and wife work for their employers..."
