Chapter 776 She drugged the party
The lights in the banquet hall dimmed.
All focused on the staircase.
Qiao Xi took a few steps back and stood in the shadows with Huo Xingzhou. She didn't want to intrude into Xie Xubai and Huo Sijiao's dream at this moment.
She watched Huo Sijiao and Xie Xubai slowly walk down the stairs. The carefully dressed young couple looked like a perfect match.
One is bright and beautiful, the other is dignified and self-possessed.
Many people's eyes flashed with surprise and they couldn't help but take a breath.
"So Miss Huo is so beautiful! I was saying Xie Xubai was so indifferent to women that he was almost reaching the stage of becoming an immortal. Why is he suddenly getting engaged?"
"If there was a girl as pretty as this, I'd be willing to do that too!"
"Keep your voice down and look over there!"
They pointed in Pei Chun's direction, not daring to speak loudly.
Pei Chun's eyes were blazing with fire, and she wished she could burn Huo Sijiao to ashes. Her entire body was tense, and her back teeth were grinding loudly.
Why!
Xie Xubai actually likes Huo Sijiao.
They're even engaged!
It is said that the certificate will be obtained soon!
The wedding banquet will be held in June next year!
Why didn’t Xie Xubai marry her?
She has been chasing after Xie Xubai for so many years, can't he see her deep affection?
She squeezed out two words from between her teeth: "Bitch!"
Pei Gan, who was standing beside Pei Chun, laughed and said, "Cousin, how come you can't even handle a man? You've really brought shame to our Pei family. Xie Xubai is with someone else now, and the Pei family will choose another marriage for you."
"I won't marry anyone else."
"You won't marry? Are you worthy of the Pei family's years of training you? Don't forget, you're just a side branch. I'm honoring you by calling you cousin, otherwise you wouldn't even be able to enter the main gate of our Pei family. And you still want to call yourself Miss Pei?"
The Pei family has only sons and no daughters.
Pei Chun is an exception.
She was a direct descendant of the Pei family and was trained for marriage. It was originally thought that she could handle Xie Xubai.
It's really useless.
"you……"
"Pei Chun, you have no choice. After the engagement party, start dating after the New Year. If you can't find someone of equal status, look for someone with potential. They must be able to help our Pei family. Got it?"
Pei Chun was full of dissatisfaction. He stared at Huo Sijiao and Xie Xubai who were toasting and socializing in the crowd and said, "Tonight isn't over yet! They haven't even got the marriage certificate yet. Everything can be turned around!"
Her hands were tightly clutching her bag, which contained some things she had brought specially.
Disguised in cosmetics, security can only check for dangerous equipment, but won't be able to find this kind of thing at all.
She knew that Huo Sijiao's sister-in-law Qiao Xi was very capable and had specially found channels to get good things. This time, she wanted to make sure that Qiao Xi had no way to save Huo Sijiao.
Pei Gan turned around and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"It's none of your business."
"Everything you do is related to the Pei family, unless your last name is not Pei. But the Xie family is slapping our Pei family in the face. If you want to do anything, clean up your mess and don't let them get caught."
Pei Gan was very happy to see what problems arose at the Xie family's engagement party.
If Pei Chun is really useless, then it doesn't matter if the Pei family gives up such a chess piece.
Hopefully she can make some difference.
"I'll take care of it, you don't have to worry about it. You should try to please that little girl from the Feng family. I heard she's only eighteen years old and very young."
Pei Chun said sarcastically.
Pei Gan was not favored in the Pei family and was just a dandy boy. He had an older brother who could support the family, so the Pei family would have nothing to do with Pei Gan in the future.
His role is to be a second-generation rich man and marry a powerful wife.
The Pei family felt that the Feng family must have some hidden cards, so they wanted Pei Gan to deal with Feng Nanxi.
Pei Gan felt dissatisfied when he heard Pei Chun's sarcasm.
He even looks down on a yellow-haired girl!
But this is all arranged by my eldest brother, I can’t refuse!
"You don't need to worry about my affairs. If you can ruin the Xie family's engagement party tonight, I will definitely look at you with new eyes. Pei Chun, I want to see what tricks you have."
"Then you wait and see."
Pei Chun walked out of the crowd and went out through the side door.
She has often come to the Xie family over the years and is very familiar with the Xie Mansion.
It is also easy to do things.
Thanks to the close friendship between Mrs. Xie and her grandmother, she could move around much more easily than ordinary people.
Most people didn't dare to stop her.
But when she left, Lu Yingxue was a little more cautious.
She waved her hand and whispered to the Lu family's bodyguard: "Follow Pei Chun and keep an eye on her. If you see what she's about to do, don't stop her. Just come back and tell me."
"Yes, Miss."
"Be careful and don't get caught."
Lu Yingxue watched the bodyguard leave and thought that Pei Chun would definitely not accept this.
Who knows what's going to happen tonight.
A man who came forward to show his courtesy said, "Miss Lu, tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Your Lu family is about to have a double celebration. The selection of the four major families will be announced soon. I have heard rumors that your Lu family will definitely have a place."
In fact, the closer we get to the end of the year, the clearer the situation becomes.
The status of the Zhong family and the Pei family is unshakable, but the Xie family has come from behind and the Guan family cannot defeat the Lu family this time.
The Lu family's business is not big enough, but its reputation far exceeds that of these major families. It has squeezed into the top position by relying on 10% of public opinion.
It was expected that the Guan family would fall out of the four major families.
"Thank you very much." Lu Yingxue said politely.
Her willow-shaped eyes scanned the crowd, trying to see something hidden in the dark.
Her bodyguard returned shortly.
Lu Yingxue said a few perfunctory words to the guests, then walked around the long table to a secluded place.
Extending from the glass banquet hall is a glass covered bridge, keeping out the wind and snow. The Xie family's winter garden also boasts numerous plum blossoms, each blooming beautifully. Spring is lush on both sides of the glass.
The floral scent is very strong.
Some quiet-loving guests were enjoying the flowers and chatting in this area, and Lu Yingxue walked over.
Finally, we stopped at a corner. The climbing roses on the flower stand were in full bloom, and the purple roses hanging down were very dreamy.
Lu Yingxue folded her arms, looked around, and found nothing wrong.
"Talk here, keep your voice down. Did you find anything when you followed me?"
The bodyguard lowered his voice and said, "I followed Pei Chun to the kitchen and saw her chatting with a chef."
Many of the personnel tonight were seconded, so the situation was rather chaotic. Although the Xie family had taken precautions, there was always a loophole. Pei Chun was all too familiar with the Xie Mansion.
"Just chatting?"
"They seemed very familiar with each other. Pei Chun said he admired his cooking skills and often lined up to go to his hotel just to eat his special dishes."
Lu Yingxue didn't believe it at all: "And then?"
"Pei Chun seemed to have mixed something into the starch while he wasn't paying attention. I secretly watched the chef finish his work, and I heard that the dish of snow-covered bean paste was going to be delivered to..." The bodyguard said a few words almost in a whisper.
Sweetened Bean Paste with Sugar Topping?
White as snow, radiant as clouds, the recipe is simple. But it takes some effort to make a dish to perfection.
After hearing this, Lu Yingxue suddenly smiled and said, "Do one more thing for me."
She whispered a few words to the bodyguard.
But he didn't notice that a figure at the corner was hearing everything.
