89 089 Reject Huo Xiao
◎Planning.◎
Ge Yue was obviously anxious. She couldn't wait to jump out to speak for Yu Hengrong, and kept calling him husband, obviously to provoke Ren Lu.
"Why should I sell it? If it was sold at a discount, I would not have bought this cruise ship in the first place. Your husband must be dreaming of getting a bargain. Sorry, the cruise ship is not for sale." Ren Lu rolled her eyes unceremoniously and retorted back immediately, directly giving Yu Hengrong the label of "taking advantage".
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Yu couple changed instantly, and they both looked extremely ugly.
"I hope Mrs. Lu can always be as stubborn as she is today." Yu Hengrong sneered and said in a warning tone.
Ge Yue was not so good-tempered. She said directly with emotion: "Ren Lu, why are you so arrogant? The Lu family has fallen. You are no longer a rich wife. No one will flatter you. You have been a housewife all these years. You have no job and no social skills. Every day, you can't do anything except make Lu Sinian happy. Now Lu Sinian is dead and the Lu family is bankrupt. You have fallen directly from the treetop. You can't become a phoenix. I'm afraid that if you climb too high on the tree, you may fall to your death!"
She spoke very fluently, as if she was rapping, and was obviously provoked by Ren Lu, as she kept attacking her weaknesses.
Ren Lu still had an indifferent attitude. She looked at Ge Yue who was jumping up and down, as if she was watching a joke, with a faint smile on her face.
"I think you two seem to have misunderstood one thing. It was the Lu family that collapsed and went bankrupt. Their whole family became paupers. What does it have to do with me? I am very rich. My husband left me a large inheritance. How can I explain to you two what a large sum of money means? It means a lot. After buying the cruise ship and diamonds, there is still more than enough to spend." She picked up the wine glass and tilted her head towards them, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
"Why are you showing off here? Even if the inheritance is large, you can't afford to spend it like this, right? Most of what Lu Sinian left you are personal assets. His shares are the most valuable. He must not have left you much, otherwise Lu Hui would have snatched them away long ago."
"I don't believe that you are not panicking. How can you not be afraid of running out of money if you live off your savings? What's more, you have no financial acumen at all and you don't know how to make money from money. Of course, I also advise you to keep a clear head and know yourself. Don't rush into the financial market in a fit of rage, only to be ripped off, lose all your money, and end up in debt." Ge Yue was disdainful. She stretched her neck, wishing she could rush in front of her to mock her.
"Mrs. Yu, I really don't understand what you are saying. My husband bought me a lot of diamond jewelry when he was alive. If it really comes to that, any one of them can be sold for hundreds of millions. Do you think I will be short of money? Isn't the blue diamond he bought for me still popular? I receive one every year on my birthday. You wouldn't be so upset just for a pink diamond at an auction, would you?" Ren Lu just pretended to be dumb and pretended not to understand.
She paused for a moment, then pretended to be surprised and asked, "Ah, no way? You won't receive the nine-digit diamond gift from your husband on your birthday, will you?"
When she said this, her tone was full of disbelief, and coupled with her innocent expression, she really deserved a beating.
"Ren Lu, you really deserve a lesson!" Ge Yue was so shocked when he heard this that he was about to rush over.
Yu Hengrong was startled, and quickly grabbed her and whispered in her ear: "Calm down, wife, calm down, she did it on purpose. You see so many people are watching, and she even invited reporters to take pictures today. If you do something, you will fall into her trap. When those ugly pictures are taken, she will not be the one to be embarrassed."
Ge Yue clenched the wine glass in her hand. In fact, she really wanted to raise her hand and splash the red wine towards Ren Lu's face, but she looked around again. Several guests nearby had been attracted by the movement here. They were all secretly looking at her, and obviously they had discovered some clues.
She had no choice but to step back, breathing heavily in anger and unable to speak for a moment.
"So, you have to look for a husband with your eyes open. What's the point of having a husband who has money but doesn't spend it on you? He'd be worse off than a dead ghost who leaves a large inheritance after his death." Ren Lu's attack did not stop, and this time her vicious words were directed directly at Yu Hengrong.
At this point, she paused deliberately, adjusted her breathing, and then said to Ge Yue seriously: "Mrs. Yu, you get promoted, get rich, and your husband dies, and your life is wonderful. Look at me, I am living a carefree life now. I can buy as many carats of diamonds as I want, and I will never be restricted by a man. You can consider it~"
After saying that, she winked at Ge Yue, completely disgusting the couple to the extreme.
"Mrs. Lu, what do you mean by this? Inciting murder?" This time it was Yu Hengrong who broke down. The air pressure around the man was very low, and he was obviously angry.
Shit, he came here to attend the celebration banquet today, and he never expected to be labeled as "stingy", and even have his wife instigated to become a widow.
You don't need to think too much about the meaning of Ren Lu's words, but even a cursory thought is terrifying.
"Hey, calm down, husband, calm down. People around you are watching you, you can't do anything embarrassing, there are reporters taking pictures." Ge Yue came to stop them immediately, and she almost returned all the words of advice that Yu Hengrong had said before.
Of course Yu Hengrong was not happy to hear that. He just broke free from her hand, took a sip of wine, and had a very sour expression on his face.
Looking at the couple like defeated roosters, Ren Lu felt very happy. However, her good mood did not last long. She suddenly felt a chill on her back. A waiter carrying a tray bumped into her, and the wine glass fell over and spilled directly onto her skirt.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, ma'am. It was my fault!" The waiter apologized immediately. The manager came over, apologized together, and scolded the waiter.
Huo Xiao, who had been absent-minded, finally perked up after seeing this scene. He made an excuse to withdraw from the social circle and walked straight over here.
"It's okay, don't make it difficult for him. I brought other dresses." Although Ren Lu was very unhappy, things had already happened. If she held a waiter responsible, she would easily be led astray.
After all, there are too many people here, including reporters. The reporters were all invited by the Huo family, waiting to report the first-hand news of the celebration banquet. If someone said that she was throwing a tantrum and making things difficult for the workers just to attract attention, then it would be hard to explain. She didn't want to cause trouble.
"I'm really sorry. The waiter was not trained well. Take Mrs. Lu to the lounge, where it's convenient for changing clothes." Huo Xiao apologized earnestly, looking like a decent person.
Ren Lu was indeed planning to go to the lounge to change. Usually, several lounges would be prepared for dinner parties to deal with such emergencies, and the female guests attending the dinner would also bring an extra set of dresses for rotation. However, when Huo Xiao said this and he politely apologized before, the alarm bells in Ren Lu's heart instantly rang.
She would rather believe that Huo Xiao loves to eat shit than believe that Huo Xiao has become a gentleman.
This scumbag has low quality as one of his characteristics. Now he and the original female protagonist Feng Yuwei are completely broken up. The two of them have no contact at all, let alone a love line.
According to the plot of the book, after Huo Xiao started dating Feng Yuwei, the bad side of his personality was gradually cured by her. Even though he was still not a good person, he would pretend to be a normal person for Feng Yuwei. Judging from his actions rather than his heart, at least he didn't look like a pervert.
But now his love is completely dead, and it is impossible to heal it with love. Huo Xiao is still a low-class, super-masculine pervert. Now he comes to apologize to her and asks her to go to the lounge to change clothes. Ren Lu can't help but think about it. She always feels that there must be a camera in the lounge, and he can secretly take a picture of her changing clothes and use it to threaten people.
"No, the spare dress is in the car. I'll just go change in the car. I'm not used to using the lounge." She refused directly and coldly.
"Hey, what is Mrs. Lu saying? The space in the car is so small and the lounge is already open." Huo Xiao immediately tried to persuade her.
Ren Lu just lowered her head to send a message to Vicky, and confirmed that Vicky came to see her, then she looked up and gave him a perfunctory smile.
Vicky also entered the venue as an assistant, but as an assistant she was eating and drinking in another hall. She quickly rushed over to reunite with Ren Lu.
"Excuse me." Ren Lu only said two words, then walked around Huo Xiao and left.
Huo Xiao looked at her back, gritting his teeth in anger. He wanted to curse her, but the occasion allowed it.
Ren Lu's long dress today is also off-shoulder. From behind, you can see her white shoulders and arms, which are shiny like white jade and very tempting.
He thought he would definitely be able to embrace the beauty in his arms tonight, but he didn't expect Ren Lu to be so vigilant and so disrespectful to him, preferring to go to the car rather than stay in the lounge.
You bitch, you're still complaining. Just wait, I have a lot of tricks, I'm not afraid that you won't fall into them.
Of course, no matter how harshly he cursed in his heart, he never showed it on his face. Instead, he whispered a few words to the lobby manager and then went back to socializing with the crowd.
Ren Lu returned to the car, and the curtains in the back seat were immediately lowered to cover the space. These were custom-made to make it easier for her to change clothes.
When she came back, the atmosphere in the banquet hall became even more lively. All the guests looked towards the podium, thinking that it was almost time for the speeches.
She also started to look forward to it, it seemed like the show was about to begin.
"Ding ding ding--" Just then, a rich young man walked onto the stage, picked up a spoon and knocked on the wine glass, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
"Welcome everyone to today's celebration banquet. I believe you all know what we are celebrating. Then we would like to invite several great contributors to come to the stage to speak. The first one to appear is our handsome General Manager Lin. Please come on stage..." The host spoke, and soon there was applause.
As the first speaker, Lin Hengrong was obviously quite proud. He immediately adjusted his tie and strode onto the stage.
"Hello everyone, I am Lin Hengrong. Today..."
Lin Hengrong's manuscript was obviously written by his secretary. It was very comprehensive and thoughtful, but also very official and rigid, not very interesting, and the response from the audience was mediocre.
Ren Lu was a little absent-minded. After several people came on stage, it was finally Huo Xiao's turn.
The second young master of the Huo family did not walk onto the stage. Instead, he jumped up with his hands and jumped directly onto the stage, instantly winning applause from the whole audience.
Ren Lu couldn't help but roll her eyes: Loading.
I don’t know where Lu Sinian is hiding. I guess he is cursing in his heart right now. This guy almost stole his title as the king of pretentiousness.
