Chapter 776 She drugged me at the banquet

The lights in the banquet hall dimmed.

All focused on the staircase.

Qiao Xi took a few steps back and stood in the dark 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. After being carefully dressed up, the young couple looked like a perfect match.

One is bright and attractive, the other is dignified and self-possessed.

Many people's eyes flashed with surprise and they couldn't help but take a breath.

"It turns out that Miss Huo is so beautiful. I said Xie Xubai was so indifferent to women that he was almost ready to become an immortal. Why is he suddenly getting engaged?"

"If there was a girl as beautiful as this, I would want her too!"

"Keep your voice down and look over there!"

They pointed in Pei Chun's direction and did not dare to speak loudly.

Pei Chun's eyes were full of fire, and she wished she could burn Huo Sijiao to ashes. She tensed up and her back teeth were clenched.

On what basis!

Xie Xubai actually likes Huo Sijiao.

They're also 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, could it be that he doesn't see her deep affection for her?

She squeezed out two words from between her teeth: "Bitch!"

Pei Qian, who was beside Pei Chun, laughed and said, "Cousin, how come you can't even handle a man? You really bring 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 don't want to get married? Are you worthy of the Pei family's training for you for so many years? Don't forget, you are just a side branch. I will call you cousin only when I raise you up, otherwise you can't even enter the main gate of our Pei family. Do 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 cultivated for marriage alliance. Originally, they thought she could handle Xie Xubai.

It's really useless.

"you……"

"Pei Chun, you have no choice. After the engagement party, start dating for me after the New Year. If you can't find someone who is a good match, then look for potential stocks, and they must be able to help our Pei family. Do you understand?"

Pei Chun was not convinced. He stared at Huo Sijiao and Xie Xubai who were toasting and socializing in the crowd and said, "Tonight is not over yet! They haven't obtained 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 among cosmetics, security can only check for dangerous equipment but cannot find anything like this.

She knew that Huo Sijiao's sister-in-law Qiao Xi was very capable and had found channels to get good things. This time, Qiao Xi would not be able to save Huo Sijiao.

Pei Qian 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 has hit our Pei family in the face so hard, if you want to make a move, you better clean up your mess and don't get caught."

Pei Qian was very happy to see what problems might arise 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 a difference.

"I'll take care of it. You don't have to worry about it. You should try to please the little girl from the Feng family. I heard that she is only 18 years old and very tender."

Pei Chun said sarcastically.

Pei Qian was not favored in the Pei family, he was just a dandy boy. He had an older brother who could support the family, so the Pei family had nothing to do with Pei Qian 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 Qian to deal with Feng Nanxi.

Pei Qian 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 visited the Xie family over the years and is very familiar with the Xie Mansion.

It is also easy to do things.

Thanks to her close relationship with Mrs. Xie and her grandmother, she could travel much more easily than ordinary people.

Most people don't dare to confront 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. See what she is going to do, don't stop her, just come back and tell me."

"Yes, Miss."

"Be careful not to be discovered."

Lu Yingxue watched the bodyguard leave and thought that Pei Chun would never accept this.

Who knows what exciting things will happen tonight.

A man who came forward to show his courtesy said, "Miss Lu, tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Your Lu family is going to have a double celebration. The results of 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 situation becomes clearer as the year draws to a close.

The status of the Zhong family and the Pei family is unshakable, but the Xie family came to the fore later, and this time the Guan family was no match for the Lu family.

The Lu family's business is not big enough, but their reputation far exceeds that of these big families. They squeezed into the top position relying on 10% of public opinion.

It was also expected that the Guan family would fall out of the four major families.

"Thank you very much." Lu Yingxue said politely.

Her willow-leaf eyes scanned the crowd, trying to see something hidden in the dark.

Her bodyguard returned soon.

Lu Yingxue said a few perfunctory words to the guest, then walked around the long table to a secluded place.

The glass banquet hall is extended to a glass corridor bridge, which keeps the wind and snow out. The Xie family's winter garden also has many plum blossoms planted in it, with beautiful flowers blooming. The glass is full of spring on both sides.

The scent is very floral.

There were some quiet guests admiring the flowers and chatting here, and Lu Yingxue walked past them.

Finally, we stopped at a corner. The climbing roses on the flower stand were blooming luxuriantly, and the purple roses hanging down were very dreamy.

Lu Yingxue folded her arms, looked around, and found nothing was wrong.

"Let's talk here, and keep our voice down. Did you find anything when you went there?"

The bodyguard lowered his voice and said, "I followed Pei Chun to the kitchen and saw her chatting with a chef."

Many people were seconded tonight, so it was a bit chaotic. Although the Xie family had done a good job of protection, there was always a loophole. Pei Chun was too familiar with the Xie Mansion.

"Just chatting?"

"They seemed very familiar with each other. Pei Chun said that he admired his cooking skills and often lined up to go to his hotel 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 master chef finish his work, and 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, lustrous as clouds, the cooking method is simple. But it takes some effort to make a dish perfect.

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 realize that there was a figure at the corner who was hearing everything.
