88 088 Dinner Conflict
◎Meeting on a narrow road.◎
"What wind brought Mrs. Lu here? I remember I didn't give you an invitation? How did you get in?" Huo Xiao sounded sarcastic as soon as he opened his mouth, seeming very unfriendly.
Ren Lu looked up at him and waved the invitation in her hand.
"Someone gave it to me, and I came here because I thought it was interesting. If Mr. Huo doesn't welcome it, then I won't be a bother here."
A waiter happened to pass by with a tray. After she finished speaking, she placed the invitation on the tray, turned around and prepared to leave without any reluctance.
"Hey, wait a minute. Everyone who comes is a guest. Today is a celebration banquet, and Mrs. Lu has an invitation. How could I chase you away? It's just that the achievement we're celebrating today is at the expense of your Lu family. I'm afraid you won't be happy." Huo Xiao immediately tried to persuade her to stay. When he said the last sentence, his tone was slightly provocative.
Huo Xiao didn't know why she came, but since she came, he would not let her leave like this.
After all, the speech for the celebration banquet was already written, and he read the speech himself. He had his secretary write the content in an extremely arrogant manner, without considering the face of the Lu family at all. In his own words, it even reflected the face of a smug villain.
But so what? He just wants to be as rampant as possible.
He had been suppressed by Lu Sinian for so many years, and he was finally expected to succeed. Lu Hui also had problems, and the Lu family lost everything and was completely abandoned by the wealthy circle. He finally had his day to come out, and naturally he had to announce it to the world, letting everyone know that the final winner was him, and not that damn Lu Sinian.
He had sent an invitation to the Lu family, but it was returned, which was expected.
After all, Lu Hui was already in jail and was busy looking for a lawyer, and Jiang Xiu was focused on vindicating Lu Sinian and had no time to care about him. The couple were not of one mind and had even turned from lovers to enemies. They had no mood to attend the celebration banquet held by the Huo family.
I didn’t expect Ren Lu to come, and she was dressed like this, she looks quite cool.
It would be more exciting if I got so angry that I cried because of his speech later.
Huo Xiao was holding a glass of red wine in his hand, shaking it unconsciously, and he couldn't help but let his mind wander to the idea that if Ren Lu, who was dressed like a cool widow, was so angry that her eyes turned red and she bit her lips hard, looking like she was half crying, she would surely be even more beautiful and charming.
A hot and unique woman like Ren Lu is suitable to be forced to cry, which can better stimulate a man's desire to conquer her.
Realizing that the man opposite was staring at her, Ren Lu couldn't help but frown.
Although she didn't know what was going on in his mind, the way he looked her up and down as if he was picking out items made her extremely uncomfortable. She guessed that he must have not held his fart well.
"Mr. Huo, you are the host, you don't have to entertain me." She nodded at him, turned around and walked to the dessert table.
It is a social blind spot. Generally, people are chatting in the central area with a glass of champagne, and most of the people wandering around the dining area are there to fill their stomachs.
Huo Xiao's eyes were fixed on her back. When he saw her slender waist, he suddenly felt dry in the mouth. He raised the glass and took a sip of red wine. The aroma of grape wine slid down his throat, and he felt even thirstier.
Ren Lu retreated to a corner, picked up two pieces of pastries, and then looked back.
Huo Xiao was surrounded by people again. He was the protagonist of today's celebration banquet and had no free time at all.
Ren Lu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, slowly withdrew her gaze, and complained wildly in her heart.
Huo Xiao was really sick. When she appeared at the venue, from the moment he saw her, this man's eyes had been following her closely. That kind of look without any appreciation was purely male coercion. She could completely feel the threat in it.
When Lu Sinian was here before, he would also look at her like this, but he didn't dare to be so blatant because he felt that he couldn't compete with Lu Sinian. But now that Lu Sinian has long been buried, he directly exposed his true nature. Obviously, Ren Lu had rejected him before, and even taught him a lesson viciously, but he seemed to have forgotten everything that happened before.
Even though Ren Lu had assaulted him before and beat him so badly that he had to go to the hospital for men's health care, he was still so angry that he gnashed his teeth and wished he could eat Ren Lu alive.
But now that the Lu family has fallen, he and several other wealthy families have swallowed up the Lu family's industrial chain. They are in high spirits, and when he sees how stunningly beautiful Ren Lu is today, he becomes even more itchy. Although he still hates Ren Lu, he wants to humiliate her in another way.
Although Huo Xiao was chatting with his partners, all he talked about were cooperation on various big projects, and he looked very serious, but in fact, he was already full of dirty thoughts in his heart.
He was thinking about how to force Ren Lu to stay. This was his territory. Even though there were many people here, he could still keep a woman here if he wanted.
Besides, it was not something he had not done before. He would let people accidentally stain their dresses, force them to change clothes, and then give them some unclean food, which would make it easy for him to drug them and make them unconscious. After the dinner, he could do whatever he wanted and enjoy himself.
It’s just that the women he had dated before all had no background. After all, Ren Lu had the halo of Mrs. Lu, so he didn’t dare to touch her.
But today, the Lu family is completely dead, and Mrs. Lu is just an empty title. No one will take her seriously. Ren Lu has returned to being a beautiful woman without any background or family background. It is easy to attack her at this time.
Besides, he was taken to the police station before to investigate the murder of Lu Sinian. Because there was no definite evidence, it could only be said that he did have some friendship with the mechanic, but the rest could not prove that he committed murder. He was later acquitted.
Fortunately, the cell phone he brought to the police station was safe, and the lawyer he hired was also quite powerful and not involved in other matters, which gave him more courage.
He felt that even the police could not find out the relevant facts. As for women, as long as he gave enough money afterwards and used threats and bribes to make the girls shut up, he could rest assured. This made him even more aggressive and he wanted to make a move on Ren Lu directly.
Ren Lu was unaware of his dirty thoughts. She just stood in the corner and took advantage of the time while eating to secretly look at the people at the dinner party, trying to find Lu Sinian.
But she looked back and forth several times and still found nothing, and immediately curled her lips in impatience.
This damn guy has the potential to be a coward, and he is so hard to find every time.
There was no requirement to wear masks at this dinner, and everyone had to show their full face. I guess he was hiding somewhere waiting to rush out at the critical moment, and he didn't dare to come out openly.
"Mrs. Lu, you are here too."
Ren Lu was thinking in her heart when suddenly a familiar voice greeted her from the side.
She was slightly startled and subconsciously turned her head to look over, and saw Ge Yue walking towards her with Yu Hengrong's arm around her. The man was wearing a well-ironed suit and the woman was wearing a champagne gold suspender sequined long dress, and they looked a perfect match.
Perhaps it was because they were in high spirits because of good things happening to them, they both looked much more energetic than at the last charity auction, with smiles on their faces, as if they had won the lottery.
"Mr. Yu, Mrs. Yu, it's indeed a coincidence." Ren Lu nodded, but didn't seem to want to talk more.
She came here today just to watch the show and didn't want to bother with anything else.
Besides, she was alone today, and she would definitely not be able to defeat the couple, so she didn't want to argue with them.
Unfortunately, her avoidance did not make the two of them leave tactfully. On the contrary, after looking at each other, the couple became more determined to find fault. After all, at the last auction, the combined money of both of them could not buy an item from Ren Lu. This was posted on the Internet and became known to everyone, and they were ridiculed for a whole week.
During that period, the couple tried to keep a low profile and stayed at home as much as possible. But after all, he was an heir to a wealthy family, so how could they just stay at home? There were some social events and work that they could not avoid, and whenever they went out, they would be ridiculed by others, either openly or covertly.
When Yu Hengrong went to the company, he felt that the employees looked at him strangely, as if they were laughing at him for being a useless waste. Ge Yue felt even worse. At the tea parties of those ladies, there were more sarcastic remarks. They were obviously very sarcastic, but they had to put on an air of knowing the big picture. It was so hypocritical that she wanted to vomit, but she had to endure it and sit until the end to avoid being laughed at.
Today, the couple caught Ren Lu. This was a rare opportunity that only comes once in a thousand years. They must seize it and ridicule her severely.
"Unfortunately, my husband is one of Mr. Huo's partners, and he will also speak at today's celebration banquet. Speaking of which, I should also thank Mrs. Lu. It is thanks to the generosity of your Lu family that we have this dinner." Ge Yue shook her head and spoke in a sweet tone, seeming particularly energetic.
But the meaning of the words was really unpleasant and extremely sarcastic.
Ren Lu chuckled, waved her hand, and said politely: "Mrs. Yu, you're welcome."
Ge Yue had been looking forward to her humiliation and anger, but she never expected that Ren Lu would act as if she didn't understand and actually started to be polite. She really couldn't help but secretly cursed her for being shameless.
"The Lu family has gone bankrupt, and Shengtian Group has closed down. Mrs. Lu will not receive any dividends in the future. I'm sure her life will be difficult. It's hard to go from luxury to frugality. If Mrs. Lu wants to sell the cruise ship she bought before, I can take it over. But I heard that the cruise ship has gone out to sea several times, so it must be discounted." Yu Hengrong couldn't help but speak, and he still kept his eyes on the cruise ship.
Ren Lu was surprised: "Boss Yu, the Yu family is a wealthy family after all. You are the successor, why do you ask for a discount right away? Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the president to bargain when buying things. It's a bit cheap."
Her words were full of sarcasm, and she performed them with passion and emotion. Even at the end, in addition to surprise, there was also a hint of disgust in her eyes. She felt that it was very shameful for Yu Hengrong to bargain with her.
Yu Hengrong pursed his lips and frowned tightly.
He always thought that Ge Yue was difficult enough, but he never expected that she was nothing compared to Ren Lu. He really didn't know how Lu Sinian could tolerate this woman during his lifetime and even married her.
"What do you mean by devaluing? Do you know how to speak? My husband is kind-hearted and is worried that you can't bear the hardship, so he wants to take over your second-hand cruise ship. Otherwise, even if you sell it to someone else, no one may want it!"
