Half an hour later, the hovercraft arrived at the Presidential Palace. Chu Rong got off the car first, and Georgia was about to follow. Chu Rong, who got off the car first, suddenly turned around, stretched out his arms naturally, gently carried Georgia down, and helped him tidy up his clothes.
The emotions that had just calmed down began to stir again. Georgia stiffened her body and looked up at Chu Rong, who was becoming more and more strange today. Her eyes were wide open, her mouth slightly open, and she looked stupid.
"Don't look at me, look at the road."
Chu Rong stretched out his fingers and pinched his lips, forcing him to close his mouth passively. Then he took his hand and led him onto the carpet and walked towards the banquet hall.
Guests arrived and got off the cars one after another. When they saw Chu Rong, they greeted him politely. Chu Rong nodded indifferently in response, holding Georgia's hand tightly, which attracted several glances from them.
Georgia passively followed him forward, looking down foolishly at her hand that was being held, she moved her fingers slightly, and then was quickly held tighter, the cufflinks of the same style on their cuffs collided slightly because of this movement, making a crisp collision sound so faint that almost no one could hear it.
As if to match the sound, the mental simulator on his ear suddenly emitted a wave of vibrations, slowly enveloping his entire body, startling him so much that he stumbled for a second.
"Chu, Chu Rong, this simulator..." He was a little panicked, but also had some inexplicable secret joy. The complex emotions that surged up in an instant made his brain freeze. He vaguely realized that if he continued like this, some things might get out of control.
Chu Rong stopped when he heard his call, turned around to look at him, and asked, "What's wrong with the simulator?"
"It, it just..."
Chu Rong reached out his hand, gently touched the simulator, pinched his soft earlobe, curled his lips and smiled, and said: "That's it, let's go, brother and sister-in-law have already gone in." After that, he turned around and continued to lead him inside.
A stronger mental force was circling playfully around his ears, and occasionally brushing against his ears and cheeks, as if someone was caressing him.
Georgia was even more confused, her face gradually turned red. She looked up at Chu Rong who was walking in front of her. Her sight slid from his white hair to his broad shoulders, and then slowly moved along their arms to their clasped hands. She unconsciously shook their hands again. After she came to her senses, she looked away as if frightened, and relaxed her palm to let the other party hold it.
He was so absorbed in his own little emotions that he didn't notice the strange expressions on the faces of the guests who entered with them.
They were wearing dresses from the same series, entering the venue hand in hand, and there was that very intimate ear-touching gesture just now. In addition, if they were not mistaken, the native seemed to be wearing an earring engraved with the Chu family emblem on his ear.
The last person with a different surname who was qualified to have the Chu family emblem engraved on jewelry was Gu Yan'an, the wife of Chu Huai, the current head of the Chu family. But now this native... Marshal Chu did this to officially recognize this native as his younger brother, as the outside world speculated, or was there some other ambiguous meaning?
If it is the former, then the Chu family will definitely win the hearts of all the indigenous people and their descendants! If it is the latter... Marshal Chu actually likes a man? No, no, no, this is not the point. The imperial princess who publicly expressed her love for Chu Rong is still in the Federation. If it is the latter, then the situation in the Federation will be interesting.
The guests looked at each other secretly, exchanging messages with their eyes. The men were thinking about the possible consequences of the Chu family's actions, while the women were gossiping and their eyes were red.
——The aboriginal boy looked so good after putting on the dress and combing his hair! Although they already knew that the boy was good-looking when watching the live broadcast, he looked even better after dressing up like this!
They used to think that such a delicate and cute boy was only suitable for fresh and cute clothes, but now they see that the heavy and gorgeous black and gold combination unexpectedly suits him!
So handsome! So handsome! If this was their own child... Ah! If this was their own child, they would also be unable to help but hold his hand like the marshal all the time!
The waiter and the president's son, Long Xuyang, were waiting at the door to greet the guests. Chu Rong glanced at them indifferently, nodded indifferently at the president's son who was not too annoying, and walked directly towards the inner court taking Georgia's hand.
"Marshal Chu is still so rude."
Long Xuyang's friend, Ding Huazhan, the young master of the Ding family, a second-rate family in the Federation, who came in later, walked up to his friend, greeted him, and spoke up for him in a low voice.
Different from Long Baorou's cold beauty, Long Xuyang's facial features are more like his father's. His eyebrows and eyes are gentle and he has a friendly aura. His temperament is also very soft. At first glance, he looks like a good guy who is easy to bully.
"Hua Zhan, don't say that. Marshal Chu's position is very different from mine. He has already given me a lot of face by nodding to me." Long Xuyang stopped his friend from saying anything with his eyes, and welcomed another wave of guests. After the door was empty, he continued to talk to his friend who was waiting on the side: "Besides, this banquet doesn't actually need me to welcome guests. Father... forget it, go in quickly. It's not appropriate for you to accompany me to stand at the door. Be careful of your uncle's blame."
Although a second-rate family, the Ding family still knew the news they should know. Ding Huazhan, as the only child of this generation of the Ding family, was the natural heir. Ding's father never avoided him when analyzing the federal situation, so he understood his friend's helplessness at this time.
This is a banquet held by the Federation to welcome visitors from the Empire, not a family dinner at the Presidential Palace. Why would the president's son need to welcome the guests in person? It is not necessary in terms of his identity, and it is too embarrassing in terms of his position. In any case, it is inappropriate.
Ding Huazhan frowned and was about to say something when he saw the Xiang family and their younger generations coming over from afar. He quickly shut up and wanted to step aside to let his friend go up to greet the guests. However, he saw that the Xiang family seemed to have not seen his friend waiting at the door and walked straight in without paying attention to the people at the door.
"How ridiculous!" He felt a little angry, for the Xiang family's rudeness and for the embarrassment his good friend had to endure.
"Hua Zhan." Long Xuyang hurriedly held his shoulders, shook his head at him, sighed, forced a smile, and said, "Look, I told you, Marshal Chu is willing to nod to me, which is already a great honor for me. Go in, your uncle must be anxious."
Ding Huazhan was dissatisfied and said, "Come in with me!"
"You know, it's impossible." Long Xuyang patted his shoulder, stretched out his arm to push him inside, waved at him, then turned back to the door and continued waiting.
Ding Huazhan passively took a few steps forward, looked back at him, and knew that his friend was doing this for his own good, so he held back his anger and turned to walk into the hall.
The guests who had arrived in the hall were scattered around, chatting freely, waiting for the formal banquet to begin.
Chu Rong was impatient to deal with all this, so he took Georgia directly to the lounge where the Chu family was. In occasions like this, although people from various families would not be late, they would not hang around the court too early, and would usually stay in the lounge.
"Don't you need to go say hello to the president first?" Georgia followed Chu Rong down the stairs to the lounge on the second floor. The little emotions in her heart were slightly dispersed by the glitz and bustle in the hall, which diverted some of her attention.
Chu Rong slowed down his pace and walked up side by side with him, frowning slightly, with a hint of impatience, and replied: "No, there's no need." Since he could even let his son greet guests on such an occasion, why would the president need the four major families to give him face?
Georgia nodded. Although she didn't quite understand why she didn't have to greet the host, she adhered to the principle that everything Chu Rong said was right, so she followed him up obediently and stopped talking.
Chu Rong's frown loosened upon seeing this, and he squeezed his hand soothingly, explaining in a low voice: "The president will be replaced next year, and the current president's faction will definitely step down. The Long family failed to sow discord among the four families, so they are desperate and have connected with the Empire, trying to turn the Federation into a second empire. Except for Long Xuyang who was standing at the door just now, everyone in the Long family has bad intentions. Long Ruizhang can barely be considered an understanding person, but he has no choice, so just ignore it."
Turning the Federation into a second empire? That would be the restoration of—
Georgia's eyes widened in shock, but she quickly lowered her head to suppress her emotions, tightened her hand holding his, tightened her face, lowered her voice and said seriously: "I understand, I won't hold you back."
Chu Rong looked at his frowning brows, curled his lips and replied: "I know you won't." Georgia has been helping him, helping him very hard, seriously and carefully, and he has always known it.
The two walked hand in hand into the lounge where the rest of the Chu family was. The atmosphere was warm and sweet.
Xiang Kun, who had come up the stairs ahead of his family, saw this scene from afar, frowned in confusion, and then his face darkened: "Damn Chu family, have you become fond of showing off your family affection recently? What a schemer!"
"What are you mumbling about?"
Xiang Hui raised his hand and knocked him on the forehead, then pulled him back to his side and whispered, "Don't run around today, follow your father or second uncle obediently, and behave yourself, do you understand?"
"Oh." Xiang Kun touched his head and nodded, forced to be obedient.
Similar instructions were also heard in the Wei family's box. In the Ning family's box, Ning Kongting was pulling her mother to ask about her aunt Ning Tianwu's deeds, and to find out whether the prince uncle was really as handsome and outstanding as the rumors said.
Ning Tianxing glanced over there indifferently and coughed softly.
"As a girl, why ask these questions? You will know when you see her." Ning Kongting's mother immediately pulled her daughter and asked her to be quiet.
Ning Kongting shut up, glanced at Ning Tianxing, and then calmed down obediently.
Although she looked down on Ning Kongran, she was still very afraid of Ning Kongran's father, her genius uncle, and usually did not dare to get close to him.
The box fell silent. Ning Tianxing picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He looked at his eldest son Ning Kongran who was sitting quietly beside him. His eyes softened a little and he said, "Kongran, you are still too dull. You should learn to make more friends. I heard that Prince Antin is interested in both potions and mecha manufacturing. You can talk more about it when you have a chance."
Prince Antin?
Ning Kongran immediately analyzed the meaning of his words in his mind, but did not show it on his face. He nodded obediently and replied, "I understand, father."
"Yeah." Ning Tianxing was very satisfied with his obedience, and casually said, "Are you really not going to continue studying pharmacy? Although you are very good at mecha manufacturing, your family can't help you. If you study pharmacy, your future will be much easier."
Ning Kongran knew that he was going to bring this up. He shook his head, a little disappointed in his eyes, and said, "Father, I guess I really have no fate with pharmacy. Every time I pick up a medicine-making tool, I get a splitting headache, as if something is trying to come out of my brain. I can't continue at all. I'm sorry for failing to live up to your expectations."
Ning Tianxing's expression changed when he heard this, and he steadied his tone and asked tentatively: "It seems like something is trying to come out of your brain? When did this symptom appear? Do you remember anything?"
"Remember what?" Ning Kongran turned his head to look at him, with pure confusion in his eyes, and asked: "Father, have I ever forgotten anything?"
"Of course not." Ning Tianxing was relieved when he saw this, and took another sip of tea. Like a good-tempered father who couldn't persuade his child, he said helplessly: "Then you should continue to study mecha manufacturing. Even if you don't study potions, your family will try their best to pave a way for you."
Ning Kongran showed a touched expression and said, "I'm sorry for the trouble, father."
After it got a little dark, the evening banquet was finally about to begin. The waiter came up to invite people. Georgia, who had been pulled by Chu Yan to chat, was again held by Chu Rong and walked towards the door.
Chu Yan snorted angrily upon seeing this, and snorted out a breath of air from his nose - wasn't it just occupying Qiao for a while, the second brother was so stingy!
The seats in the hall had been arranged. The seats for the president's family and the imperial royal family were placed at the top, high up, and the seats for the four major families were placed below in order, which was very intriguing.
"Wow, this seat is really interesting. Long Baorou and Long Xuyang can actually sit high up in the front. Even Long Ruizhang gets a share of the honor." Chu Yan started to exclaim in a low voice as soon as he came out, his eyes full of interest.
In this kind of occasion, it's fine for the president to sit in the front with his wife, but it's very problematic to bring all his sons, daughters and brothers. Why didn't he just go a step further and let Long Ruizhang's family sit in the front? Or just squeeze the You family in as well? Wouldn't that be more lively?
Chu Rong and Chu Huai also saw the seating arrangement and looked at each other. Chu Huai smiled and patted Chu Yan on the shoulder and said, "You can sit in any seat of the Chu family you want later."
Are you going to cause trouble?
Chu Yan's eyes lit up and he asked happily, "Really? Then can I sit at the front?"
"Of course." Chu Huai nodded, looking very easy to talk to, and said with a smile: "Since it is the president's 'family dinner', let's just be casual."
When it came to the seating arrangement, the four major families showed amazing tacit understanding. They all let their younger generations or wives sit in the front seats, while the heads of the family or the elders all sat in the back, ignoring the nameplates on the table and not trying to be the "green leaves" serving the president.
The other families at the back looked at each other for a few seconds when they saw this, and then they also scattered and sat down. Some of those who were on good terms even switched seats and sat together cross-leggedly, lowering their heads and chatting.
The steward of the Presidential Palace was anxious and the officials in charge of the banquet were sweating. When the President entered the venue with the Imperial Prince, Lieutenant General Wei was still sitting and leading the applause, invisibly saving the official procedures such as standing up and shaking hands, making this banquet a daily routine.
"Everyone is so warm and welcoming." Prince Ans seemed to have not noticed the trick with the seat at all. He smiled and sighed to the president, then greeted everyone in a very normal way and sat down with the president.
The president was rejected as soon as he came out. He almost couldn't keep his smile on. He lowered his head and sat down, adjusting his expression a little, and managed to keep it together.
After they took their seats, the prince and princess, Long Baorou and others who followed behind them also took their seats one after another. A group of younger generations lined up and sat next to the younger generations of the Chu and Xiang families who deliberately sat in the front row. The scene looked surprisingly harmonious, as if everyone had intended to let the children be the protagonists today.
But then again, today's welcome party was originally held for the children, so from this perspective, there is actually nothing wrong with this seating arrangement.
Having been president for many years, Long Ruifeng still had some shrewdness. Seeing that the four big families were embarrassing him, he simply took the opportunity to start a conversation with the prince. The topic revolved around the children of the empire, and he directly ignored the four big families, as if the Federation had really become a one-man show for him.
The Chu family doesn't care much about these superficial efforts. The president can ignore it if he wants. The prince of the empire will definitely take the initiative to lead the topic to the four major families. The only one who will be embarrassed will be the president. They are happy to watch the joke.
The Ning family remained neutral, and after the dishes were served, they quietly ate their own food, behaving very low-key, as if the prince sitting on the stage was not their own son-in-law, but just a stranger. Ning Kongting glanced at the obviously mixed-race boy next to Ans and the prince and princess several times, but she knew that the occasion was not right, so she behaved more restrainedly.
The attitudes of the Xiang and Wei families were a little subtle. They took the initiative to greet Prince Ans, but ignored the president at all. They also asked about Princess Anlin's health intentionally or unintentionally, and showed great concern for her "illness" some time ago.
Long Baorou, who was sitting below Long Xuyang, clenched her fists when she heard this, turned her head to look at the Xiang family, and when she retracted her gaze, she seemed to glance at the Chu family inadvertently, and saw Chu Rong lowering his head to cut steaks, not paying any attention to herself who was being deliberately embarrassed by the Xiang family. Her eyes darkened, and her gaze swept to the jewel necklace around Princess Anlin's neck, and she lowered her head to tidy up her hair.
On the stage, Ans was introducing the boys and girls of the empire.
Offstage, Chu Rong placed the cut steak in front of Georgia, then brought the untouched steak in front of him over, helped him adjust the napkin on his legs, and whispered, "The portions of dishes at this kind of banquet are small. If you don't like it, don't force yourself. If you're not full, I'll take you to eat something else later."
"Yeah." Georgia's face became hot again, and she picked up the fork and said, "You eat too, no need to take special care of me."
Chu Rong noticed that he kept his head down the whole time he was talking and didn't even look at him, so he moved his hand under the table and gently poked his waist.
Georgia sat up straight with her ears stretched straight, and finally looked up at him, her eyes wide open, as if she couldn't believe that the person who had just poked him in the waist as a prank was Chu Rong, not Chu Yan.
"The clothes are wrinkled." Chu Rong replied calmly, stretched out his hand to press down his ear, picked up a piece of meat with his other hand, moved it to his mouth and wiped his lips, and ordered: "Open your mouth."
Georgia opened his mouth reflexively, and then the steak entered his mouth, and the hand on his head slid down to wipe the oil on his lips.
Crackling.
Xiang Kun, who was sitting opposite them, accidentally dropped the fork in his hand and his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.
Everyone around heard the noise and looked over. Xiang Hui, who was talking to Prince An Ting, frowned, looked back at Xiang Kun, then smiled apologetically at the people around him, patted Xiang Kun under the table, signaling him to come back to his senses, and then called the waiter to change his tableware.
Everyone turned their eyes away again.
Xiang Kun came back to his senses, grabbed Xiang Hui's clothes, lowered his voice and said excitedly: "Brother, did you see it just now, Chu Rong and that native, they, they were...did you see it, they were so strange!"
"Be quiet." Xiang Hui was considerate of Long Baorou who was sitting not far away, so he lowered his voice and scolded him, then continued his fake conversation with Prince An Ting who was diagonally opposite.
Xiang Kun held his breath and couldn't help but look across again, but he happened to meet Chu Yan's provocative gaze, so his attention was immediately diverted and he glared at him fiercely!
After greeting the Xiang and Wei families, Prince Ans took the initiative to greet the people from the Chu and Ning families.
The Chu family responded politely, saying some words of welcome, and then ended the greeting naturally. The Ning family behaved similarly, only showing some concern for the Ning family's daughter who did not come to the Federation and Ning Kongan who was sitting quietly next to the princess.
After greeting everyone, they started to eat and chat. The atmosphere seemed good at first glance, but the president knew that he was being targeted and sidelined by the four major parties. The four major parties ignored all the topics he raised and looked down on him, leaving him alone to perform a one-man show and enjoy the "halo of the protagonist."
This situation was completely different from what he expected. Recently, he had followed the will of the people and tilted the policy towards the Chu family, which did offend the Xiang and Wei families. However, the Xiang and Wei families had not expressed anything radical before, so why did they suddenly not give him face today? And the Ning family, as the in-laws of Prince Ans, why were they not warm at all, and their presence was shrinking.
In short, this banquet used to show off one's status was a complete failure judging from the current situation.
The dinner ended in a seemingly harmonious but actually not awkward atmosphere. After that, it was time for entertainment and rest, and everyone moved to the lounge on the third floor.
The seats in the lounge were much more casual. The four big families dispersed again tacitly, and none of them moved closer to the president. Seeing this, the other families did not dare to move forward, and also scattered their seats, very "respectfully" and "hospitably" leaving the big circle seats in the middle for the president and Ans and his party.
The president's expression was really unbearable. Seeing this, Long Xuyang was a little worried. He took the initiative to step forward and act as a ladder. He raised his voice and invited the people from the four major families to come forward. Prince Ans also followed suit with a smile.
The secret conspiracy ended with the victory of the four major families, so at Long Xuyang's "cordial invitation", each of the four major families sent a person in charge to sit in the front to save the president's face.
The situation finally returned to normal and the president's complexion looked much better.
Chu Rong and Georgia sat alone on a double sofa in the corner of the second circle. Chu Yan didn't want to be a light bulb, so he simply slipped to where the Yuan family was and sat with Yuan Xiu.
The performance began on the stage. Georgia moved uncomfortably, rubbed against the sofa, and raised his hand to scratch his ear - since entering the lounge, the fluctuations on the simulator suddenly became stronger, and he, he felt a little hot.
"What's wrong?" Chu Rong raised his arm and put it on him, pulling him closer to him, eliminating the little distance he had just created.
The feeling of their bodies leaning against each other suddenly became ambiguous and intimate. Georgia shook her head and said, "No, nothing, just a little hot." Her heart was beating a little too fast.
"Hot? The air conditioning here is on full blast."
Chu Rong frowned, and suddenly bent down and put his forehead against his, rubbing it, and said soothingly: "Bear with it, it should be because you just finished eating. Don't take off your clothes even if it's hot, be careful not to catch a cold."
As their foreheads touched, his cheek seemed to rub against something soft. With a bang, Georgia's rationality was completely destroyed by the sudden heat exploding in his brain, and his soul flew away into the sky.
That, that touch...
Chu Rong curled his lips upon seeing this, leaned back comfortably on the sofa, withdrew his hand, held his hand in his palm, and played with it carefully.
Xiang Kun, who was sitting not far from them, started yelling again, tugging at Xiang Hui's sleeve, saying, "Brother, look at Chu Rong, there's something wrong between him and that native. Just now, they--"
"Quiet!" Xiang Hui held his hand, looked at him warningly, and said in a low voice: "Be quiet and don't make any noise." The show is about to begin, and now is not the time to make a fuss.
Xiang Kun felt extremely frustrated. He looked around at the people around him, but found that no one seemed to notice that something was wrong with Chu Rong and Georgia. He was so anxious that he scratched his head.
After a few performances, Prince Ans really began to "show off the country's strength" and found an opportunity to let his niece Anlin go up to play a song. The president was not to be outdone and also asked Long Baorou to play a song on another instrument.
After a few rounds, it seemed to be a draw. Ans praised General Netasi's son Jie Xiu again, saying that he had always wanted to meet Chu Rong, who had competed with his father. Chu Rong's plan to stew the chicken was interrupted, and he pushed Chu Yan up impatiently. So Chu Yan was forced to compete with Jie Xiu, and finally ended up in a draw.
The situation was still very harmonious. Just when everyone thought that the "show of national strength" segment was about to end, Ans suddenly changed the topic and mentioned Georgia. Everyone was shocked and knew that the highlight of the day had come.
"I heard that this aboriginal boy skipped grades within a year and completed the schoolwork that would take an ordinary child ten years to complete. His talent is even more amazing. He is a genius with both S-level physique and mental strength. I wonder if such a smart child is here today?"
Ans asked with a smile, as if it was just a casual remark, so the president answered casually and looked in the direction of Chu Rong.
Chu Rong's expression faded, and Georgia finally came back to her senses.
"He is indeed an outstanding child." Ans followed the President's line of sight and looked towards Chu Rong. His eyes fell on Georgia beside him. His smile became more gentle. He waved to his side and said, "Jane, you have been talking about meeting him. Go and say hello."
As he finished speaking, a black-haired, black-eyed boy sitting in the corner stood up.
Everyone looked over and wondered - strange, was there such a child sitting next to Prince Ans before? Black hair and black eyes should be very conspicuous among the imperial children with different hair colors, why didn't they notice it before?
Georgia also looked at the boy and frowned.
No, the fluctuations in this hall suddenly started to go wrong.
"Don't be afraid. If you don't like it, you can ignore it." Chu Rong thought he was uncomfortable and squeezed his hand soothingly.
The mental power on the simulator began to fluctuate stronger again, and the feeling of something wrong disappeared. Georgia felt a little uneasy, but the black-haired boy had already walked over, so she could only suppress these feelings in her heart, shook her head at Chu Rong, stood up and politely responded to the boy's greeting.
——He now represents the Chu family and cannot embarrass himself.
Jane looked about the same age as Georgia. She was not very tall and was very fair. However, her skin was not as white as Georgia's. Instead, her skin was a sickly pale color. She had big eyes with very dark pupils, which made her look a little creepy when she looked at people.
Georgia was not the kind of person who judged people by their appearance, so when the other person politely extended his hand, he shook it, said some polite words like hello and welcome to the guest, and then smiled at him.
"Hello."
Jane's eyes fell on the arc of his mouth. Her voice was a little thin, but not unpleasant. It even made people feel that he was in a good mood and released a friendly attitude. The hand holding Georgia suddenly tightened and whispered: "You can feel it too, someone is playing tricks."
He immediately let go of her hand, nodded at Georgia, and turned around to sit back.
A greeting that was too brief and simple, completely different from the tit-for-tat response that everyone expected.
"This kid is quite shy."
Ans spoke up to draw everyone's attention back, and took the initiative to bring up other topics with the president, ending the "demonstration of national strength" event initiated by him.
"Is that the end? Qiao was not targeted at all?" Chu Yan, who was sitting in the back, widened his eyes, feeling extremely unbelievable.
Yuan Xiu glanced at him and said, "I think you've watched too many TV dramas. In this kind of situation, it's fine if everyone is just being polite, but you're really competing like that. How are those people from the Empire going to go to school in the Federation in the future? Are they waiting to be bullied?"
This seemed to make some sense. Chu Yan thought for a moment, then glared at Yuan Xiu - this guy seemed to have just despised his intelligence and was looking for death!
Georgia sat down as much as possible while maintaining a normal expression, then immediately held Chu Rong's hand.
Um?
Chu Rong raised his eyebrows, held his hand and asked, "What's wrong?" Are they really familiar with each other?
"Something's wrong." Georgia lowered her voice, leaned closer to him, and said in a low voice: "There's something wrong with the power fluctuations in the hall. That Jane just noticed it, and he's reminding me."
Chu Rong took his arm around his shoulders, patted him soothingly, touched the simulator on his ear, and said, "Don't worry, it's just some mental stimulation waves. The Xiang and Wei families are setting a trap for Long Baorou. Just watch the show."
He said as he glanced at where Jane was and narrowed his eyes.
This mental stimulation wave has been there since entering the leisure hall. Except for special cases like Qiao and psychics above SS level, no one else can feel it. There is indeed something strange about the son of the national teacher.
The fluctuations on the simulator became stronger again, covering up the slight abnormality. Georgia was stunned for a moment and looked up at Chu Rong.
The Xiang and Wei families set a trap for Long Baorou? What trap?
Just as he was wondering, Long Baorou, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly stood up and walked towards An Lin, who was particularly honest today. She looked a little anxious and could not suppress it. She bent down and grabbed the necklace around her neck.
Everyone was stunned by her sudden action, but An Lin immediately snatched the necklace back, staring at Long Baorou and saying, "What are you doing!"
"I respect you as the princess of the empire, so I have been tolerant of you. I didn't expect that you had ulterior motives and wanted to harm the relatives of our federal marshal! I ask you, why are you wearing this!" Long Baorou suddenly shouted loudly, grabbed the necklace around her neck again, pulled it off with force, and threw it to the ground. Her nails scratched An Lin's neck, leaving a deep red mark.
Bang!
The necklace hit the floor with a crisp sound, and the gem pendant on it fell off, rolling right to Georgia's feet.
Georgia looked down and immediately noticed something was wrong. She bent down to pick up the pendant, and with a light squeeze of her fingers, she easily pinched open the gemstone that should have been very hard, revealing a gray stone inside. Her expression changed, and she hurriedly took out a small isolation cover from the storage ring and put the gray stone inside. She looked at Chu Rong, frowned, and said, "It's a radioactive stone."
It was the kind of gray radiation stone that was only effective for people who had just awakened their spiritual power. It was ineffective for people whose spiritual power had been awakened for more than a year. This stone was also called the Stone of Sin. It was a banned item. It was secretly installed in a hospital by a terrorist organization and destroyed the spiritual power of hundreds of babies born at that time. The impact was very bad.
He had been surrounded by Chu Rong's spiritual power and did not notice the fluctuations of the stone.
Chu Rong's expression faded. He reached out to take the thing, turned it over in his hand, glanced at the direction of the Xiang and Wei families, then threw the stone to the ground and said coldly, "Among the more than 100 people present, the only one whose spiritual power has been awakened for less than a year is my fiancé Georgia. Shouldn't you give me an explanation for this stone?"
"fiancé?"
A burst of surprised questions rang out in the hall, and the president didn't even care about his daughter and turned to look at Chu Rong.
Long Baorou, who was full of anger, was stunned for a moment when she heard the words. Her expression was blank for a moment, and her eyes were dull for a moment. Then she suddenly became even more angry, raised her voice and pointed at An Lin and said, "An Lin, I thought you were joking when you threatened to deal with Georgia before, but I didn't expect you to really do it. How can you, such a vicious person, be worthy of pursuing Marshal Chu! Your jealous face is so ugly!"
"Bao Rou, what nonsense are you talking about! Apologize to the princess!" The president was shocked back to his senses by her completely inappropriate accusation. He didn't understand why she suddenly exploded in public. He shouted at her and winked at Long Xuyang.
Long Xuyang came to his senses and went forward to pull Long Baorou.
"Wait a minute." Ans suddenly spoke. The smile on his face had disappeared when Long Baorou treated An Lin rudely. He stood up and walked in front of An Lin to face everyone. He said calmly: "Miss Long, may I ask how you found the radioactive stone in An Lin's necklace?"
This is indeed a good question, because there are so many people present, and many of them are stronger than Long Baorou, but no one noticed something wrong with Anlin's necklace before she opened her mouth, including Georgia who was targeted and hurt. This is really too strange.
Moreover, Anlin's shocked expression after seeing the radioactive stone clearly told everyone that she had no idea how such a thing could be in the necklace.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Georgia, who was sitting stupidly beside Chu Rong, with an ambiguous look in her eyes - maybe it wasn't the radioactive stone, otherwise why didn't the native boy feel anything before? And the fiancé, when did this happen? Did An Lin know that the Marshal Chu she was pursuing so publicly liked men?
