Chapter 75 Grievances 2
In the banquet hall, the dazzling crystal chandeliers cast soft light, reflecting on the guests' luxurious dresses, making the entire hall look magnificent.
Melodious music flowed in the air, accompanied by the guests' laughter and conversation, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
However, beneath this apparent prosperity, undercurrents are surging.
Lu Yuxing held her parents' hands and stood in the middle of the banquet hall, with a happy smile on her face.
She was wearing a white lace dress with a skirt that was layered like petals, making her look like a princess in a fairy tale.
Her parents, Father Lu and Mother Lu, also had gratified smiles on their faces, especially Father Lu. Although his words were humble, there was a majesty between his brows that could not be ignored.
"Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend my daughter's birthday party. I apologize for any shortcomings in our hospitality." Father Lu's voice was steady and powerful, echoing throughout the banquet hall. The guests stopped talking and focused their eyes on him.
As soon as the words fell, responses came one after another from the crowd.
Boss Li was all smiles and was the first to step forward and say, "Mr. Lu, you are too polite. This banquet is so grand, which shows how much you value your daughter. It's a great honor for us to be able to attend." He leaned forward slightly, folded his hands in front of him, and the flattering look on his face was evident.
President Wang also quickly agreed. As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and walked quickly to Lu Yuxing: "Ms. Lu is so radiant today. Her temperament shows that she is the apple of everyone's eye. Look at her eyebrows and eyes, she is exactly like President Lu. In the future in the business world, I believe you will be able to be as adept as President Lu and make a name for yourself." After that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, as if to prove the sincerity of his words.
Faced with these compliments, Lu Yuxing smiled politely and responded softly with "thank you".
Father Lu smiled and waved his hands, saying modestly: "Thank you for your praise. My daughter is still young and needs more experience. Today is mainly to celebrate her birthday. I hope everyone eats and drinks well. In the future, we will continue to work together in business."
However, beneath this superficial harmony, Yang Mian frowned.
She stood on the outskirts of the crowd, watching everything coldly, her heart filled with disdain and anger.
[They are a group of people who follow the wind and take advantage of the weak. Now they speak so nicely in front of Lu Yuxing's father, but behind his back they complain that the daughters of the Lu family are all fickle. 】
"Especially that Boss Li, who actually had someone drug Lu Wanqing at the Lu family just to please the Shen Yi family? Is he sick? The Shen family and the Lu family are of similar family background. Does he think that if Lu Wanqing gets into trouble, the Lu family won't care about her life or death?"
[No, we must not let these people succeed. 】Yang Mian’s heart was filled with alarm, and he turned around and walked quickly upstairs.
As soon as Xiao Yangshuo heard Yang Mian's voice, he immediately put down the cup in his hand, followed her back with his eyes, and felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.
He followed without hesitation. Seeing this, the other members of Class 13 also put down their glasses and followed closely.
When the guests in the banquet hall saw this scene, they all looked puzzled. "Hey, what's going on? Why are you all running upstairs?" someone asked in a low voice.
"I think something has happened. Let's go up and take a look." Another person suggested, and then a group of people followed them and went upstairs.
Yang Mian walked quickly upstairs, kicked the door open, and it fell down with a bang.
Inside the room, Shen Yi was about to do something indecent to Lu Wanqing.
Hearing the sound, he turned his head sharply and a trace of panic flashed across his face. "Who?" he asked sharply.
When he saw a large group of people rushing in aggressively, Shen Yi's face turned pale instantly.
His original plan was to have Boss Li's people help him drug Lu Wanqing, and after she fell into a coma, he would make it a fait accompli with her and film a video to force her to marry him.
However, there is always a loophole, and the matter was discovered before it even started.
Xiao Yangshuo quickly walked to Lu Wanqing, took off his coat, and gently covered her with it.
Lu Wanqing was already unconscious at this time, her face was pale, and it was obvious that she had been drugged.
There was a flash of anger in Xiao Yangshuo's eyes, and he looked at Shen Yi coldly, but the current situation did not allow him to settle accounts with Shen Yi.
"I'll take Wanqing to see a doctor."
He rushed out of the room holding Lu Wanqing.
The guests in the banquet hall also arrived one after another at this time, and when they saw the scene in the room, they all showed shocked expressions.
Father Lu's face darkened instantly. He strode to Shen Yi, his eyes as sharp as a knife: "Shen Yi, how dare you attack my sister?"
"Master Lu, I just saw Wanqing was drunk, so I helped her up to rest." Shen Yi pretended to be calm and tried to excuse himself.
He secretly rejoiced in his heart that luckily nothing had happened yet and everything could still be explained.
"We just helped her up to rest, why did you install a camera? What on earth do you want to do?" Yang Mian roared angrily, his voice echoing in the room.
His eyes were fixed on the small camera in his hand.
At this moment, Shen Yi's face turned pale instantly, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
His eyes flickered, his lips trembled slightly as he said, "This...I'm not pretending. I really don't know why there is this thing in the room!"
Although he tried his best to deny it, his panicked expression made it hard to believe what he said.
Yang Mian snorted coldly, looked at Shen Yi with a sharp gaze, and said sternly: "Call the police! As long as we check the fingerprints, we will naturally know who installed this thing. Moreover, Lu Wanqing was drugged, and it is obvious that you have an accomplice. None of you who have done so many evil things will escape the punishment of the law!"
Hearing the words "call the police", Shen Yi's body trembled involuntarily.
However, he was a veteran after all, and he quickly forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath, and adjusted his mentality.
Then, he turned his gaze to Father Lu standing beside him, showing a sly smile, and said slowly: "Uncle Lu, do you really want to call the police? Not to mention that our two families have always had close business dealings. If we get upset because of this matter, I'm afraid it will not be good for both parties. Besides, my uncle is the chief of the police station. Even if I call the police, do you really think you can easily send me to jail? As for Lu Wanqing, humph, she is just a slut who has been played with countless times. I am willing to condescend to marry her, which is giving your Lu family enough face!"
Father Lu's face turned livid in an instant, his eyes widened as he stared at Shen Yi, his hands clenched tightly in anger, the veins on his arms bulged.
He never expected that Shen Yi, who seemed gentle and refined on weekdays, could say such unbearable and shameless words.
"You... you are simply a beast!" Father Lu's voice was shaking with anger. "Wanqing is my sister, the apple of the Lu family's eye. I won't allow you to humiliate her like this! What business dealings, what your uncle is the director? In my eyes, these are not as good as my sister's innocence and dignity!"
Yang Mian became even more angry when he saw this, and shouted, "You deserve to be chopped into pieces, you scumbag! Don't think you can get away easily today!"
Chen Yi sneered disapprovingly. He raised his head slightly, his eyes full of disdain, and said, "Humph, don't refuse a toast and drink a forfeit. I've already said it here. Calling the police will not benefit anyone. Uncle Lu, you have to think it through."
"You scum, do you think your uncle in the police station can protect you?" Yang Mian said.
