Chen Ya put down the guest list in his hand, looked up at Lu Qingxuan and said, "I'm not going to sit in the main hall. I plan to sit in the side hall."
When Lu Qingxuan heard this, it was as if someone poured a bucket of cold water on her head when she was in high spirits, and her face immediately fell.
"I finally have the chance to sit in the main hall, why are you sitting in the side hall?"
"I want to attend my aunt's wedding."
"What aunt-in-law's wedding?" Lu Qingxuan was stunned. She didn't remember there was a wedding on the day of the birthday party.
After staring at Chen Ya for a while, she vaguely recalled that she seemed to have heard people mention it once or twice. On the day of Old Master Lu's birthday banquet, the wedding of a distant relative of the branch family would be held in the side hall.
The reason why she forgot about this matter was that she was fully engaged in preparing for the birthday party these days and had no preparations for the wedding at all.
Only now did she realize that the so-called distant relative was actually Chen Ya's aunt.
Looking at Lu Qingxuan's expression, Chen Ya sighed inwardly.
Sure enough, in the entire Lu family, no one except himself cared about his aunt's wedding.
If I hadn't come here and helped with a lot of preparations, this time, Old Master Lu's birthday and my aunt's wedding would have been deserted and no one would have noticed.
If that were the case, I wonder how much sweetness and how much sadness there would be in that moment when my aunt's happiness was frozen.
Lu Qingxuan's eyes rolled. She felt a little embarrassed that she had forgotten about the wedding, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Then, then why don't you just sit in the side hall? Don't you think it's a pity?"
"What a pity?" Chen Ya raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Look, who else is at this table?" Lu Qingxuan reminded, reaching out and poking at the names of Gu Yuqing and Qin Yunchu. "The opportunity to have dinner with these two is something many people can't afford. Are you willing to give it up like this?"
Chen Ya couldn't help but laugh: "What's the big deal?"
In the past, Gu Yuqing and I had never eaten at the same table or slept in the same bed.
Qin Yunchu and she had never had dinner together, but as he got to know her better, he discovered that beneath her icy exterior, she actually had a very silly side, so it wouldn't be difficult to ask her out for dinner.
He really wouldn't miss the happiest moment of his aunt's life just for this.
Lu Qingxuan stared at him, her eyes rolling upwards uncontrollably, looking angry at him for not fighting back.
"Do you know how many times I've run around and how many times I've been scolded for this seat?" Lu Qingxuan said, "Think about it, there are so many Lu family members, how could it be possible for the two of us to sit at this table?"
This was Chen Ya's blind spot. He opened his mouth and said, "Yes, how did you do that?"
Lu Qingxuan looked at his dazed expression and wished she could use her fingers to poke a red mark on his forehead.
"I was scolded for a long time in front of Grandma and Commissioner Gao. They even suspected me of forcing the emperor to abdicate. You really don't know how it feels to have Commissioner Gao's questioning gaze on me. I felt so wronged!"
She spoke pitifully, her voice filled with deep resentment, and her expression seemed to be saying, "Look at how much I've given, isn't it worth a thumbs up?"
Chen Ya had never seen her with such an expression before.
"You are amazing, just fantastic." Chen Ya praised casually.
He is not the kind of person who is mean. Even if others' efforts are useless to him, he will not hesitate to praise them.
Lu Qingxuan felt that his words were a bit perfunctory, but she couldn't help but feel happy. She smiled and said:
"No, you don't have to flatter me. I didn't arrange this just for you to praise me."
She looked proud and didn't seem to be affected by flattery at all, but if she had a tail like a puppy, it would be waving in the air, leaving afterimages.
Chen Ya was speechless. Okay, praising her became flattery again. This girl was really hard to like.
After feeling proud for a while, Lu Qingxuan said seriously, "Of course, to be honest, the reason why Grandma agreed so readily this time was because she was in a good mood at the time."
"Oh? What happened to her?"
"Didn't you notice? Gu Yuqing is here!" Lu Qingxuan glared.
"Gu Yuqing is here?" Chen Ya didn't understand the logical connection between them.
Lu Qingxuan struggled to explain, "We didn't even invite Gu Yuqing in the first place. What does it mean that she took the initiative to come and celebrate Old Master Lu's birthday? If so many celebrities saw her on the scene that day, what would they think?"
Looking at Lu Qingxuan's face that was full of inspiration and education, Chen Ya wanted to laugh but couldn't say it out loud.
Why did Gu Yuqing come?
Because he called her.
He asked her to come over to attend his aunt's wedding, not to celebrate Old Master Lu's birthday.
The most infuriating thing was that the witch didn't even tell the Lu family. She only told the old lady that she came to watch the ceremony, but she didn't say whose ceremony she was watching, which made the entire Lu family very nervous.
When Gu Yuqing arrived that day and sat in the side hall, wouldn't Grandma have had a high blood pressure attack on the spot?
Chen Ya, who was far away in the capital, felt the venom of this evil spirit. What a witch!
Lu Qingxuan coaxed Chen Ya earnestly: "Okay, what I mean by this is that if you can sit in this seat today, your status in the family will definitely rise in the future. Do you want to waste this opportunity? Think carefully about it."
This benefit certainly had no appeal to Chen Ya, so he nodded perfunctorily and said, "I'll think about it."
He didn't agree, and his attitude was ambiguous, but Lu Qingxuan thought he was convinced by her.
