Even the most ordinary Lu family members couldn't help but puff out their chests today. As a wealthy and powerful family, the Lu family's grand occasion today was a concentrated and direct display of its influence. How could they not be proud?
"bite!"
The door of the sightseeing elevator opened, and the crisp sound of high heels touching the ground was heard. Lu Qingxuan walked out of the elevator surrounded by a crowd of people.
When the people standing in the corridor saw Lu Qingxuan, their eyes lit up.
Lu Qingxuan was dressed up today. She changed her hairstyle and styled it into a bun that was dignified yet gorgeous like a lady. She wore a long skirt that looked like a European court aristocrat, with the fluffy skirt fluttering, making her look like a princess.
She was wearing crystal high heels, and her exposed well-proportioned calves were as white and flawless as jade. Perhaps because it was cold outside, her ankles were a little red, which made her entire pair of legs look even more charming.
Throughout the entire corridor, whether they were waiters, servants, managers, or other children of noble families, wealthy merchants, and rich people, their eyes were all cast on Lu Qingxuan, and their eyes lingered on her face that was like a flower on the top of a mountain.
"Miss Lu, please come this way."
"Qingxuan, long time no see!"
Lu Qingxuan nodded to these people one by one, with a decent smile on her face, but her eyes were searching for something everywhere.
Now she just wanted to know what Chen Ya had brought with him.
"Ms. Lu?"
"Ah, it's you."
Lu Qingxuan's gaze met that of someone who was also searching for something.
It’s Liu Ruying.
Today, Liu Ruying was wearing a long black dress, and her slender figure was no less impressive than Lu Qingxuan's. She was already very pretty, and with the light and subtle makeup on her face, she looked even more radiant and charming.
Liu Ruying came as a representative of the Liu family. Although the Liu family was slightly weaker among the aristocratic families, due to the special relationship between the Liu family and the Lu family, people from the Liu family were also assigned to quite important positions.
After seeing Liu Ruying, Lu Qingxuan walked over and asked, "Did you find Chen Ya?"
"No." Liu Ruying shook her head dejectedly, "Maybe he won't come."
"That won't do."
"Actually, for me, it's better for him not to come, so as to avoid... embarrassment." Liu Ruying said seriously.
Lu Qingxuan didn't know about her engagement with Chen Ya and looked at her strangely.
"I know where your seat is, come with me."
"Yeah." Liu Ruying nodded.
Two beautiful girls of the same level walked into the main hall, one in front and one behind, attracting everyone's attention.
Both girls have the same slim figure, amazingly long legs, and are beautiful in their own way, which naturally attracts people's attention, but their minds are not on others.
It was still early for the meal to be served, and there were not many people in the main hall. Most of those who had arrived early were members of the Lu family. As for those from aristocratic families like Qin Yunchu and Gu Yuqing, none of them had come, so the table seemed empty.
Lu Qingxuan was just about to invite Liu Ruying to sit down when she saw her great-grandmother and Commissioner Gao from afar. So she and Liu Ruying went up to them and greeted the two elders.
As soon as she saw Liu Ruying, the grandmother smiled and said, "This girl is so beautiful. Where are you from?"
Liu Ruying replied politely, "I'm from the Liu family."
"Are you the eldest or the second?"
Liu Ruying hesitated for a moment and said, "It belongs to the old family."
"Are you still studying now?"
"Yes, I'm an undergraduate student at Kyoto University."
The great-grandmother's smile widened, and she took her hand and said, "Yes, she is very dignified, well-spoken, and well-educated. Our Lu family and the Liu family have been friends for a long time. Seeing the next generation of the Liu family have a promising future makes us happier than seeing our own children have a promising future."
Liu Ruying thanked her great-grandmother repeatedly for her concern. Her great-grandmother then said, "Grandpa has always treated the younger generation of your Liu family as his own. I remember that he even promised a marriage to your family. Was it you?"
Liu Ruying blushed a little: "It's me."
Lu Qingxuan looked at her in surprise. She had only heard of this marriage before, but didn't know that the person to be married was Liu Ruying.
"The one they're getting married to is from Lu Ruixiang's family. I've seen that child too. He's very talented. Have you seen him?"
Lu Qingxuan's mood suddenly sank. Liu Ruying's voice gradually became quieter: "I've seen it."
"That's good, that's good," the great grandmother nodded repeatedly, then looked at Lu Qingxuan and said, "Qingxuan, you have worked hard these days."
Lu Qingxuan forced a smile and said, "It's not hard work. Family matters are my own business, so it's normal to be tired."
She herself felt that her voice was hollow, as if floating on the surface of the world.
"You don't have to work hard today. Just enjoy the banquet like the Liu family girls. You don't have to do any other chores."
"Yes." Lu Qingxuan nodded.
Grandma held Lu Qingxuan's hand, looking quite distressed, and said:
"In fact, in your generation, I value you the most. It's just that you are stubborn and unwilling to give in. Your future life will definitely be harder than others. But your personality also makes it easiest to achieve success."
After hearing this, Lu Qingxuan calmed down a little and said, "Grandma, I don't find it hard. Being superior to others in everything is actually easier for me because I'm used to it."
Old Madam Yu smiled and said, "My child... you haven't experienced the hardship I'm talking about yet. When you reach my age and look back, you'll understand everything. However, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I, an old woman, won't comment on your thoughts."
