Eight o'clock in the evening, Fangyuan Hotel.
A number of wealthy families from Tiancheng came to the Luo family’s banquet.
Fangyuan Hotel is the most luxurious hotel in Tiancheng and also the property of the Luo family.
The hotel's largest banquet hall is on the seventh floor.
The Luo family's banquet was held on the seventh floor. Numerous security guards were present at the entrance to conduct security checks, and young and beautiful hostesses were there to greet the guests.
When Hua Wenxia and his family of three arrived at the door of the banquet hall, the security personnel asked Hua Wenxia for an invitation.
He hesitated and couldn't produce it, so the security guard asked them to leave.
Lin Cuilan said, "We are relatives of the Luo family. Aren't we closer than these guests?"
"What kind of in-laws don't have invitations?" asked a security guard.
Mr. Luo and his wife had five children. Three of their daughters moved abroad after marriage and generally did not come back to attend banquets when they were older.
He has two sons. The eldest son died of cancer in his early years, and the second son is Luo Mingzhe, Luo Jiuyu's father.
Most of the nine grandchildren of the Luo family are not married, and even those who are married and have in-laws live abroad. The security guards really don’t know what kind of in-laws Hua Wenxia and others are.
Lin Cuilan was unconvinced and said, "We are Luo Jiuyu's father-in-law and mother-in-law! If you don't believe me, just ask Luo Jiuyu to come out and take a look, and you'll know."
The security guards looked the family of three up and down.
"When did Master Yu get married?"
"I don't know. I haven't heard of it."
"Young Master Yu has little influence in the Luo family, so maybe no one will care about his marriage."
"Anyway, they can't be let in without an invitation."
The security guards discussed with each other for a while.
Although Hua Wenxia and the others did not look like poor people, they were far inferior to many of the distinguished guests here, both in terms of dress and demeanor.
The guests who came in with invitations were either rich or noble, and some were top stars in the entertainment industry. They would cast slightly contemptuous glances at them when passing by.
Hua Wenxia was not as thick-skinned as Lin Cuilan, and she was so embarrassed that she wanted to back out and leave.
Hua Anan quickly grabbed Hua Wenxia who was turning around, "Dad, don't go, didn't you come here to make friends with celebrities?"
Hua Wenxia was stunned and sighed, "Even if we call Luo Jiuyu over, he may not recognize us."
As a father-in-law, he had never even seen his own son-in-law. Not to mention that Luo Jiuyu didn't know him, he himself didn't even know what Luo Jiuyu looked like!
Luo Mingzhe didn't like his son Luo Jiuyu and never let him appear in the newspaper. No one outside knew what he looked like.
The security guard said, "Sorry, Young Master Luo Jiuyu is not here."
"Young Master Yu won't be attending the Luo family's banquet at all. You claim to be his in-laws, but don't you even know this?"
Lin Cuilan couldn't help but asked in surprise: "What did you say? Luo Jiuyu didn't come?"
The son-in-law was away, and Hua Meimei was doing a live broadcast. The Luo family didn't recognize them as relatives at all, so it would be difficult for them to get in.
Hua Wenxia pulled Lin Cuilan towards the elevator and said, "Forget it, let's go back."
Lin Cuilan thought of something and said, "Quick, call Hua Meimei and ask her to get us invitations. This is her in-laws' party, so getting a few invitations won't be that hard."
"Don't you know her status in her husband's family?" Hua Wenxia said helplessly, "With her achievements, how could the Luo family value her? Her husband Luo Jiuyu himself is not valued in the Luo family!"
While her parents were talking, Hua Anan pressed the down elevator button.
However, the elevator display showed that the elevator was also moving up and had reached the third floor.
"Alas! What's the point of having your daughter Hua Meimei? She's marrying a rooster that can't lay eggs. She herself doesn't have any skills, and she won't be able to help our Hua family at all in the future!"
The elevator door slowly opened, and every word of Lin Cuilan's harsh words fell into Luo Jiuyu's ears.
His tall figure stood in the elevator car, and his black suit exuded a strong sense of low pressure.
Lin Cuilan was frightened by his deep and cold eyes and subconsciously stepped back.
He walked out of the elevator and glanced at the family of three.
Judging from what the woman just said, these should be his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Since neither party knew each other, he could have pretended to know nothing and walked towards the banquet hall.
But just as the family of three walked towards the elevator, he heard Lin Cuilan's sarcastic words again.
"Hubby, let me tell you, all my hard work in raising Hua Meimei was in vain! You should have just thrown her to her grandparents instead of fighting with them for custody!"
Hua Wenxia was shocked when he heard Lin Cuilan complaining about him. It seemed like it was his fault that Hua Meimei was a failure.
"Have you done your best to raise her all these years? You lock her in the storage room every other day, beat and scold her, and don't even give her food. If she's a failure, isn't it all because of you, her stepmother, who didn't raise her well?"
The family business was not doing well, and Hua Wenxia was worried. The relationship between his wife and daughter was tense, which made him even more upset.
"Hua Wenxia, didn't you say you forgave me? Why are you blaming me again?" Lin Cuilan yelled and was about to cry.
Ever since the true face of her gentle stepmother was revealed, Lin Cuilan simply stopped pretending.
I just showed my dislike for Blossom Blossoms, and it felt good not to have to hide it anymore.
The elevator doors began to close.
But the next second the door suddenly stopped and reopened.
A tall and handsome figure stood outside the elevator door, his voice slightly cold: "Excuse me, are you Hua Meimei's family?"
Hua Wenxia was stunned for a moment, "Yes, I am her father."
Lin Cuilan was oppressed by Luo Jiuyu's noble and extraordinary temperament, and her voice unconsciously became gentle, "Excuse me, who are you?"
Luo Jiuyu raised a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth: "I am Hua Meimei's rooster husband who can't lay eggs."
"Ah..." Lin Cuilan's social death scene.
"If you want to enter the banquet hall, follow me." Luo Jiuyu said and turned away.
Before Hua Wenxia and his wife could react to what was happening, they saw the elevator door was about to close, and Hua Anan excitedly pressed the open door button.
"Let's go, brother-in-law is going to take us in!"
The word "brother-in-law" brought Lin Cuilan back to reality, "You haven't even called Hua Meimei sister, how can you be my brother-in-law!"
As he said this, he reached out and patted his son on the head.
Even if Luo Jiuyu brought them into the banquet hall, so what? There was no need to be grateful to him. That was what he should do as a son-in-law!
Arriving at the security entrance, Luo Jiuyu explained to the security guards that he was the one who brought the three members of the Hua family, and the security personnel naturally let them in.
Seeing that the security guards who had just driven them away were now treating them with respect, Lin Cuilan raised her proud head and snorted coldly.
"I told you we are relatives of the Luo family, but you still don't believe me!" Lin Cuilan looked like a smug villain.
When Luo Jiuyu heard Lin Cuilan's words, he pursed his lips and said coldly: "There is a condition for taking you in. Don't say you know me. I don't recognize your relationship with the Hua family."
