Chapter 144 Shame
At this moment, the hall was full of guests. For the first time, Lu Jingyu acted serious and polite, and helped Mr. Lu walk down from the second floor.
"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the Lu family's party. Now, please invite our eldest son, Lu Jingyu, to come on stage and choose his opening dance partner." The host said emotionally on the stage.
As soon as he finished speaking, applause broke out from the audience.
Lu Jingyu walked onto the stage, glanced through the crowd, and saw the daughter of the Zhou family.
The Zhou family is a hidden big shot in the business world. Most importantly, they have connections in the political world and are also the person that Mr. Lu most wants to marry. They had already made arrangements with Lu Jingyu in advance.
The daughter of the Zhou family looked much prettier than in the photo, but she was still far inferior to Lu Jingyu's aesthetic taste. He secretly despised her in his heart, but on the surface he was very gentlemanly. He personally walked up to the daughter of the Zhou family and asked, "Miss Zhou, do I have the honor to invite you to dance the first dance tonight?"
Miss Zhou came here to watch the show, and she already knew Lu Jingyu's character very well.
"Okay." She put her hand in Lu Jingyu's palm, suppressed her nausea, and signaled to her brother beside her with her eyes that it was time to take action.
As soon as the two came on stage, the lights went out. Then, the big screen behind them lit up and played an obscene video. The sound of panting filled the entire hall.
Miss Zhou said in shock and disgust: "Mr. Lu, I didn't expect you to have such a fetish. There is no need to play this video for us to see, right?"
Lu Jingyu saw that he was the protagonist in the video, and his defense was instantly broken. He could no longer pretend to be a gentleman, and he cursed: "Who did it?"
There was a sudden murmur among the audience. They were all respectable people and had never experienced such a scene before.
Especially Mr. Lu, his eyes can kill people, so he quickly sent his assistant to the backstage to handle it.
Soon the video was deleted, the lights came back on, and the host came on stage to save the situation: "Everyone, someone just made a prank. The person in this video is not our Mr. Lu. This video is a composite."
"How can such a high-definition video be synthesized? I don't even know when our technology has developed so well." Miss Zhou couldn't help but sneered, "Mr. Lu, aren't you going to give us an explanation?"
There is a rule in the upper class that you can do whatever you want in private, but you can't do it in public, so they handle their privacy very well.
If they can't even handle their own privacy, it only proves that the family's strength is just so-so, or they have no intention of marrying at all, so it doesn't matter.
But Lu Jingyu's situation is different. Today's banquet is actually a blind date conference. Playing this kind of video at the blind date conference is a slap in the face of the guests.
They are all well-known figures. If the media reported that they brought their daughters to such blind dates, their spines would be broken.
As soon as Miss Zhou finished speaking, the people below echoed: "Mr. Lu, we came to this dinner because we respect you. You must give us an explanation now!"
"Everyone, please be patient. In fact, today's banquet is the engagement dinner between Mr. Lu and me." At this moment, a female voice sounded.
Then, Gu Rong, dressed in an evening gown, walked onto the stage from the crowd and stood next to Lu Jingyu: "I am pregnant with Master Lu's child. Master Lu plans to marry me, so he specially held this dinner."
After Gu Rong finished speaking, he turned around and asked Lu Jingyu, “Right, Mr. Lu?”
Lu Jingyu was both shocked and angry at Gu Rong's appearance. How on earth did this damn woman get in?
Gu Rong just took the microphone and whispered to Lu Jingyu: "Mr. Lu, I am here to save you. If you don't agree, it will embarrass the guests. Can the Lu family really afford such consequences?"
Lu Jingyu’s first reaction was that he was being plotted against, but the Lu family was now in a fire, and if he wanted to put out the anger, he had to adopt Gu Rong’s suggestion.
So he hugged Gu Rong and said, "Let me solemnly introduce to you all this is my girlfriend Gu Rong. Today's banquet is our engagement banquet. The incident just now was an accident. Please don't take it to heart."
"So the woman in the video just now is Miss Gu. Mr. Lu is a man who dares to act and take responsibility!" Zhou Wu, who brought Gu Rong in, took the lead in making a fuss.
When things developed to this point, the guests in the audience felt unlucky but also breathed a sigh of relief. At least when this matter got out, it would only affect the Lu family and would not have any impact on them.
Old Master Lu almost fainted from anger. He even wanted to kill Gu Rong.
"Mr. Lu, you are so lucky. Your granddaughter-in-law is so beautiful." Someone came forward and gave a false compliment, but was actually making a sarcastic remark.
Mr. Lu could only suppress his anger and pretend to be happy when dealing with people who came forward to congratulate him.
"Mr. Lu, we have something else to do, so we'll leave first."
After some greetings, everyone didn't want to continue the dinner, so they said goodbye and left. Soon, the originally bustling hall was empty.
After everyone left, Mr. Lu's face instantly fell, and he said angrily: "Bring that woman to me!"
Soon, Gu Rong and Lu Jingyu were brought in front of Mr. Lu.
Old Master Lu stared at Gu Rong with sharp, deep-set eyes, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
Gu Rong was also afraid. As an ordinary person like her, she had no way to deal with what Mr. Lu wanted to do.
But things are different now, she has bargaining chips in her hands.
Taking the prenatal examination report out of her backpack and presenting it to the old man with both hands, Gu Rong said flatteringly, "Grandpa, I'm pregnant with your great-grandson now. I'm sure you won't want to let this child wander around outside, right?"
Mr. Lu took the prenatal examination report and asked, "How can I be sure that this child is from the Lu family?"
The Lu family is small, and the child in Gu Rong's belly did make Mr. Lu temporarily put aside his murderous intentions.
"When the baby is a little later, we can do an amniocentesis to test for DNA. Mr. Lu knows better than anyone whether the child is his, right?" After Gu Rong finished speaking, he turned and looked at Lu Jingyu.
"Tell me, when did it happen?" Old Master Lu banged his cane loudly, questioning Lu Jingyu with a look of disappointment.
"It was that day that I was planning to attack Xu Qingsui, but when I woke up the next day, the person lying next to me was her." Lu Jingyu felt aggrieved. He had obviously succeeded in drugging Xu Qingsui, but he didn't know who ambushed and knocked him unconscious.
"What's going on?" Mr. Lu asked Gu Rong, "Why are you lying next to him?"
Gu Rong pretended to be wronged: "It was Miss Xu who called me and said that Mr. Lu was drunk and asked me to serve him, but... "
