Chapter 34 A Sudden Appearance Defeats Childhood Sweetheart
Gu Suixing was taken away by people sent by the manor owner.
Huo Huai'an and Qin Xuan couldn't follow, so they continued walking towards the banquet hall.
The Xie family invited to the manor this time to be either big shots from all walks of life, people with high profiles, or heirs of various large families, young ladies and gentlemen. Naturally, the people attending the banquet tonight are also this group.
The Xie family is a prominent family in City A, so a large portion of this group of people are from City A.
In other words, they were all familiar faces.
Everyone lived in the same area of the manor and was heading to the same place. Along the way, Huo Huai'an was either busy greeting and exchanging pleasantries with acquaintances or greeting unfamiliar people to make them recognize him.
Once they arrived at the banquet hall, the group finally dispersed, and Huo Huai'an secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Xuan said meaningfully, "If that Crown Prince were half as good at speaking as you, he wouldn't be so annoying."
Huo Huai'an glanced at her and said, "Whether the ancestor can speak or not depends on the person."
Qin Xuan asked, "For example, that young lady?"
Huo Huai'an just smiled and remained silent.
Qin Xuan added, "I've always been curious why he's so fond of that young lady."
"Childhood sweethearts, first love, white moonlight, cinnabar mole." Huo Huai'an casually uttered a few adjectives while searching around for Lu Fengqing's figure.
Qin Xuan suddenly realized, "No wonder."
If that's the case, then it makes sense.
Qin Xuan smiled faintly, "Have you ever heard the saying, 'A sudden misfortune can defeat a childhood sweetheart'?"
"From the sky?" Huo Huai'an turned around, looked Qin Xuan up and down, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips. "You?"
This Miss Qin is pretty, but she's far inferior to the young lady.
Qin Xuan smiled faintly and asked in return, "Am I not good enough?"
"Whether it's good or not isn't up to me to decide." Huo Huai'an stopped looking at her and continued to search for the young lady with his gaze.
Qin Xuan didn't pursue the question further. "What are you looking for?"
Huo Huai'an: "That young lady."
Qin Xuan looked around but didn't see the young lady anywhere.
That young lady, like Gu Suixing, was a favorite of heaven. She was born with an excessively beautiful appearance and an outstanding temperament, making her extremely eye-catching. No matter how crowded a place was, you could spot her at a glance.
If you can't see them, it means they're not here.
Huo Huai'an called over a nearby waiter and asked, "Have you seen a woman with long curly hair who is particularly beautiful and tall?"
Qin Xuan gave him a speechless look.
That's a description; you could probably find two or three like that in the entire banquet hall.
Unexpectedly, the waiter smiled and asked, "Are you Miss Lu?"
Huo Huai'an was also a little surprised, "It's her. She's here?"
Before the waiter could answer, a young man suddenly leaned over and whispered, "They came, and then they left again."
"..."
Huo Huai'an recognized him as the one who had struck up a conversation with Lu Fengqing at the technology exhibition that afternoon. "It's you."
The young master nodded blankly. "It's me. We meet again."
Qin Xuan asked, "Do you know why she left?"
The young master said, "I know."
Huo Huai'an and Qin Xuan exchanged a glance.
“I think,” the young man said somewhat absentmindedly, “he went back to change into his formal dress.”
Now, not only Huo Huai'an, but even Qin Xuan had a question mark on her head.
The actual scene was—
The person who came to pick a fight with Lu Fengqing was none other than Zhang Qin.
Zhang Qin spoke first, criticizing Lu Fengqing's outfit, and then brought up the Lu family, which angered Miss Lu. Miss Lu immediately retorted, finding fault with Zhang Qin from head to toe, including details such as: a strand of hair was not combed properly and was slightly bulging, and the foundation was not applied evenly, causing the color of the face and neck to be inconsistent, which were things that could not be seen at all without a close look.
This isn't over yet.
After the two women finished criticizing each other, they started comparing whose jewelry was more expensive, more valuable, and held its value better.
Finally, he left the banquet hall with a haughty air, filled with utter disdain for the other party.
It seems she's going back to get ready.
Huo Huai'an and Qin Xuan were speechless after hearing this.
The young master let out a heavy sigh. "I've never seen anything so outrageous in my entire life."
Even Huo Huai'an, who knew the young lady's personality very well, thought it was outrageous that this young master was being called a playboy.
Qin Xuan thanked the young master and asked Huo Huai'an, "Shall we go look for him?"
Huo Huai'an caught a glimpse of the manor owner coming out and said in a low voice, "The banquet has started, it's not good to leave, let's wait a bit."
Qin Xuan nodded.
-
Fortunately, I brought two haute couture gowns that I had just received at the beginning of the month with me this time.
Lu Fengqing changed into one of the hazy purple ones, changed her makeup to match the style, styled her hair to match, and took out a set of Chaumet jewelry worth tens of millions.
Dressed neatly, Lu Fengqing stood in front of the mirror and turned around a few times to examine herself carefully.
I only went out when I was sure I had no flaws.
Without a doubt, back in the banquet hall, she will once again be the one to dazzle everyone.
The dress has a rather long train. The path from the accommodation to the banquet hall is made of gravel. If I drag this train along, it will probably be torn to shreds by the gravel before I even reach the banquet hall.
Lu Fengqing lifted her skirt and walked to the front desk, asking a staff member to help her carry the rest of the way.
The night is beautiful tonight; the bright moon hanging high in the sky looks like a cookie that has been bitten.
Almost everyone in the manor had gathered in the banquet hall, so the path was quiet and secluded.
Occasionally a gentle breeze blows by, carrying a pleasant fragrance of flowers.
Lu Fengqing couldn't help but say, "It smells so good."
Staff member: "There's a flower field not far away. Miss Lu can go and take a look tomorrow."
Lu Fengqing nodded, but then suddenly heard a sharp cry and stopped in her tracks.
The staff also heard it, and when Lu Fengqing stopped, they said, "It sounds like a cat meowing."
A little white cat crawled out of the grass, walked to Lu Fengqing's feet, rubbed against her skirt, and seemed to want to climb up.
Lu Fengqing: "..."
Seeing this, the staff tried to shoo the kitten away, but Lu Fengqing stopped them by raising her hand.
Lu Fengqing crouched down and picked up the kitten, only to find that it was actually a small ragdoll.
The little doll had sapphire-like eyes, a pink nose and a pink mouth, and meowed at Lu Fengqing in a sweet, childlike voice. It was very cute.
"Kitty?"
A somewhat familiar voice came from behind.
Lu Fengqing looked up and saw two figures walking towards her.
A staff member standing behind Lu Fengqing called out, "Fourth Miss."
Lu Fengqing paused for a moment, then imitated Huo Huai'an and called out, "Aunt Wan."
The person who arrived was Xie Chaowan.
Xie Chaowan smiled when she saw Lu Fengqing, "Sui Xing's girlfriend?"
Lu Fengqing: "...I'm not."
Xie Chaowan asked gently, "Did you have a fight?"
Lu Fengqing met those gentle eyes, and for some reason, she didn't want to lie, so she said truthfully, "We had a fight."
Xie Chaowan had a "I knew it" look on her face.
She looked at the kitten being held in Lu Fengqing's arms, "I wasn't paying attention and it ran away. I didn't expect you to find it again."
Lu Fengqing held the cat, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Finding the same person's "things" twice in one day can only be explained by fate.
Xie Chaowan glanced in the direction of the banquet hall. "Are you going to the banquet hall?"
Lu Fengqing nodded, "Yes."
"There's nothing fun over there," Xie Chaowan smiled. "Want to come sit at my place for a while?"
Lu Fengqing hesitated.
All that trouble she went through was to dazzle everyone at the banquet hall.
If we just leave like this, all our efforts will have been in vain.
Xie Chaowan misunderstood, "Don't worry about Sui Xing, I'll have someone inform him."
"..." No need.
There's really no need for that.
She's currently deeply in love with her new partner and has no time for her worthless ex.
