In fact, Bai Jingming did this not because he looked down on Chen Fan, or anything like that.
But he was worried that Chen Fan had a bad temper and might lose his mind when he met Lu Ziyang, and then be exposed. Then all this would be in vain.
Of course, Chen Fan had to go tonight, because he was worried if he didn't see it with his own eyes. However, Chen Fan didn't announce the news that the owner of Jing Bar had returned. He was afraid of exposing the whereabouts of several people in advance, so no one from the Chen family was invited.
After all, the Lu family didn't have the nerve to invite the Chen family.
So Chen Fan could only follow Lin Shiyu, Gu Weisheng and the others.
These people didn't want to come at first, but when they knew Chen Jing would be present on this day, they had to be there to make the place look good.
At around 5:30, Lin Shiyu, Chen Fan and Gu Weisheng arrived at the venue first.
Although they knew that there would be a lot of people at the banquet today, they didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.
The banquet was scheduled at the Qingya Club, whose shareholder was the Lu family. When one stepped into the banquet hall, what caught one's eyes were the glowing crystals everywhere. Whether it was the walls or the ceiling, everything was glittering with gold, which was so luxurious.
Lin Shiyu had seen big scenes before, but she was still surprised when she came in.
The banquet hall is so huge that you can't see the end at a glance. The Roman spiral staircase in the middle leads directly to the second floor.
The second floor is equipped with guest rooms for guests to rest.
The third floor is for the private use of the hosts of this banquet, the Bai and Lu families.
Chen Fan narrowed his black eyes, and just staring at the three words "Lu Ziyang" at the door, he could hardly control his temper.
Lin Shiyu followed Chen Fan with her eyes, and when she saw his jaw tense, she knew something was wrong with him.
Her tender little hand gently held Chen Fan's big, bony hand.
It gave him strength invisibly.
The warm touch brought Chen Fan back to his senses.
When he turned his head to look at Lin Shiyu, there was more tenderness between his eyebrows.
"Let's go sit over there, Sister Jing and the others won't be here for a while.
Gu Weisheng led the way in front. When everyone gathered in the hall and greeted each other, only a few of them sat there quietly.
His eyes were always fixed on the door.
After all, Chen Fan is the public boss of Jing. Jing has been growing bigger and bigger in recent years. It is said that there are other forces behind it to help. Therefore, it is becoming more and more stable in L City.
Many dignitaries who frequented the bar recognized Chen Fan, whom they had not seen for two years.
Everyone came over to toast Chen Fan.
Chen Fan heard all their discussions, but he was not interested today.
Therefore, he always had a cold face and ignored everyone who came to toast him.
Some bosses with bad tempers were angry and scolded Chen Fan when they saw him being so arrogant.
"Do you really think you're such a big shot? You just opened a shabby bar, so I'm giving you some face!"
But there were also some people who had heard the rumors and came over to hold the person who was talking without thinking and whispered to him,
"Hush, keep your voice down. I heard that the Zhou family is behind their bar. You should know that the Zhou family is a big shot in the dark. Don't mess around and get yourself into trouble."
The angry boss suddenly became dispirited when he heard Zhou's name. If it came to the black and white worlds, he would have to be careful.
There are also some people who are aware of the relationship between Chen Fan and the Lu family, and they are discussing it privately.
"This is Mr. Lu's deceased ex-wife's brother. I heard that he disappeared for over two years after that woman passed away. I wonder if he showed up this time to cause trouble."
After all, these people don't have a very close relationship with the Lu and Bai families, and some of them are just here to watch the fun.
Hearing that there would be such a big event to watch today, these people's eyes lit up.
His eyes were always on Chen Fan and the others, for fear of missing out on the fun.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the engagement ceremony of Mr. Lu Ziyang, the president of the Lu Corporation, and Miss Bai Qingqing, the daughter of the Bai Corporation."
As soon as the host took the microphone and started the show, the atmosphere of the whole scene was instantly ignited.
The guests present raised their glasses and shouted congratulations.
The scene was bustling with activity.
The host said two more opening words, and then the piano sounded melodiously.
The lights in the hall dimmed instantly, and the spotlights all shone on the Roman staircase on the third floor.
Under the spotlight, there was a handsome man and a beautiful woman. The man was dressed in a black tuxedo, his tall and muscular figure was particularly neat and straight in his suit. He was so noble and unparalleled.
The woman wore a light pink floor-length diamond-studded evening gown, with tiny diamonds dotted around the bodice, which made her skin sparkle like snow.
The woman held the man's arm, smiling beautifully.
The man beside him was meticulous and cold, making people feel cold.
But the more this happened, the more some people felt that the two were a perfect match, like the princess and the grim knight in a fairy tale. Some girls secretly vowed to find such a cold-blooded man in the future.
The two of them walked slowly and stopped in front of the stage.
The woman greeted everyone shyly, while the man just nodded and had no other expression.
Then the host invited Bai's parents and Lu's parents.
As a representative, Father Bai spoke briefly, which were nothing more than polite words. His mind was not here at all today. He had just been searching for a familiar figure in the crowd.
But I never saw it.
No one from the Lu family came on stage. In the awkward situation, the host could only try to smooth things over by saying that Lu's father was in poor health.
Bai Qingqing understood clearly in her mind that she swallowed the humiliation and neglect for the moment. In the future, she would have plenty of time and ways to let them know how powerful she was.
Bai Qingqing turned her head and looked at the noble Lu Ziyang standing beside her. The man's angular profile made Bai Qingqing obsessed.
Suddenly, she lifted her foot and placed a kiss on the side of Lu Ziyang's face. This open and aboveboard kiss was seen by everyone, who were all envious.
Chen Fan, who was sitting in the corner, had a cold look in his eyes. If looks could kill, the two people on the stage who were so proud of themselves would have died a thousand times over.
Just as everyone was toasting to celebrate the marriage of the engaged couple, the door of the banquet hall was opened.
Everyone's attention was drawn there at once, and the waiter who opened the door announced that Mr. Bai Jingming, the president of Bai Group, had arrived with his wife.
In one sentence, everyone's curiosity was raised to their throats.
Mr. and Mrs. Bai suddenly jumped up from their seats, their eyes fixed on the entrance.
When the door opened, Bai Jingming appeared in a dark double-breasted suit, retro European leather shoes, and his neat hair was carefully combed back, exuding a strong British gentleman style.
His height and long legs made many beautiful girls present gasp in surprise.
The man took only two steps, then turned sideways and politely stretched out his long arm. A beautiful woman in a white backless floor-length evening dress came from behind, holding Bai Jingming's hand.
The woman's dress is made of layers of tulle, which reveals her curvy figure in a particularly eye-catching way. She wears a pure white fur coat on the outside, which makes the woman look particularly charming. She is not only beautiful, but also has a beauty that can capture people's hearts in an instant.
