Some of the Lu family members standing nearby couldn't help feeling a little jealous when they saw the old lady holding Lu Qingxuan's hand and whispering softly.
Lu Qingxuan contributed a lot to this birthday banquet and was liked by the old lady. In the future, if there are any good things in the family, she will probably be given priority.
Of course, Lu Qingxuan herself is also very good, and her blessings are beyond the envy of others.
Lu Qingxuan remembered something again and said to Old Lady Yu, "Grandma, have you seen Chen Ya today?"
Grandma said: "Chen Ya? I've never seen him."
Lu Qingxuan frowned, as if muttering to herself: "He hasn't shown up for a few days. I don't know if he will come to the birthday party today..."
When Commissioner Gao heard this, he immediately became displeased and said, "What day is today? How could he not come?"
"I'm just worried that he has something urgent to do and can't come, thus missing out on something really important." Lu Qingxuan hurriedly tried to make amends for Chen Ya.
Grandma frowned. She was troubled by Chen Ya's rebellious character.
She waved her hands and said, "Don't worry about him. If he doesn't come, then he doesn't come. I will have someone make arrangements. You guys go and take a seat."
Lu Qingxuan and Liu Ruying said goodbye together and returned to their seats. After sitting for a long time, they both asked each other at the same time:
"Who are you getting married to?"
"Where is Chen Ya?"
They both paused, and then Liu Ruying answered first: "According to Aunt Lu Ruixiang's family's intentions, I will marry Chen Ya."
Fortunately, Lu Qingxuan was sitting, otherwise she would not be able to stand steadily.
She forced a smile and said, "I've heard about this kind of arranged marriage before, and I was wondering who would have such a romantic drama-like life experience. Turns out it's you. By the way, does Chen Ya know about it?"
"He knows." Liu Ruying nodded, "But he doesn't take it to heart."
Speaking of this, Liu Ruying still felt a little resentful.
In her opinion, Chen Ya did not take this marriage seriously, nor did he take herself seriously.
After she met Chen Ya, she had the kind of erotic dreams that only young girls would have for a few days - after all, Chen Ya's appearance was still lethal.
But soon, her erotic dream was shattered by Chen Ya's unromantic and straight-man behavior.
Lu Qingxuan bit her lip and smiled reluctantly, "So, you knew from the beginning that you were each other's engagement? I only found out today. You guys are pretty... weird."
Liu Ruying looked at her expression and suddenly asked, "Do you have feelings for Chen Ya?"
"Ah?" Lu Qingxuan suddenly sat up straight, and immediately changed her expression and asked, "What are you talking about? Why do you think that?"
"No?"
"No," Lu Qingxuan sorted out her expression and mood, "I just feel like I've been cheated."
Liu Ruying looked at her silently. Her reaction was so obvious, how could she not know what she was thinking?
You can fool me, but don’t fool yourself.
Liu Ruying said, "Now it seems that my marriage is no longer important, and the old man himself may have forgotten about it. Maybe in the end, no one will mention it."
Lu Qingxuan thought blankly for a while, and finally shook his head.
The relationship between the Lu and Liu families was well known, and she did not think that Old Master Lu did not take this marriage seriously.
But looking at it from a bright side, even if Old Master Lu takes it seriously, the two of them may not get married.
After all, we live in a society ruled by law. If both parties are not interested in each other, no one can force them to get married.
"By the way, Chen Ya hasn't shown up these past few days," Lu Qingxuan said, "Have you been in touch with him?"
Liu Ruying hesitated for a moment and said, "He asked me for help with some things."
"What? Is he still contacting you?" Lu Qingxuan's eyes lit up.
"I don't know what the purpose of what he asked me to do is. I only know that it is related to the recent rumors about the Taimei Group."
Lu Qingxuan frowned. "Are you talking about that incident with the CEO of Taimei Group? That incident seems quite ridiculous. It can't be true, right?"
The "thing" about the CEO of Taimei Group that the two people were referring to was a rumor that had recently been trending but was immediately removed.
Zuo Wenzon, CEO of Taimei Group, is suspected of "treason" and has been arrested.
This news briefly caused a stir within the Lu family, because, after all, the Lu family is a major shareholder of the Taimei Group and has important financial connections.
Sure enough, after this news, Taimei Group’s stock price immediately began to fluctuate and decline, but this decline was only temporary and soon rebounded.
So the Lu family also thought that this was just fake news.
After all, the word "treason" sounds too sensational.
When Lu Qingxuan heard the word "treason" for the first time, she almost subconsciously thought it was a rumor and waited for it to be debunked.
After all, this rumor is ridiculous to think about - how could Zuo Wenzong, the boss of a company, be associated with the word treason?
Even if Zuo Wenzong really got hold of some important national information and used it to support external forces, what does that have to do with Chen Ya?
At most, Chen Ya is just the boss of another company, and the size of his company may not be comparable to that of Taimei. What does Zuo Wenzon’s affairs have to do with him?
Lu Qingxuan said, "Is he planning to use this rumor to speculate and try to gain some benefits?"
"No," Liu Ruying stared blankly at the main hall door. "He asked me to collect some information. I feel like someone from a state department is looking for Chen Ya's help..."
"Huh?" Lu Qingxuan felt that the more she spoke, the more outrageous it became.
"Hey, Miss Lu, School Beauty Liu, long time no see."
On the side, Wu Zun came over while cracking melon seeds and sat next to the two of them.
Don't look at Wu Zun like this. In fact, Wu Zun is also a child of a noble family. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to easily mix with Xu Dashao, Xia Yingji and others.
However, as a child of aristocratic family, his style is different from others. He considers himself a geek and never wears a suit and tie. Even in today's formal occasion, he only wore a windbreaker.
Although his jacket is worth tens of thousands of dollars, it still looks very tacky.
"You came quite early." Lu Qingxuan nodded at him.
"If you have nothing to do at home, you can come over early and have some fun." Wu Zun said.
Seeing Wu Zun's face, Lu Qingxuan suddenly remembered something and whispered to Liu Ruying:
"I remember that I had a chat with Chen Ya some time ago. He told me some information that I found very interesting and wanted to share it with you."
