Chapter 70 The Passerby in the True and False Qianjinwen 6
The specific time of the Du family’s family recognition banquet was soon determined.
Naturally, the Ke family did not receive an invitation to the banquet.
But Cheng Yao, who received the invitation, invited Ke Xiaoxia.
Cheng Yao's reason was: "I just happen to be in need of a female companion. Xiao Xia, do you want to go and have a look?"
But in fact, there is no need to bring a female companion to this kind of party.
Ke Xiaoxia knew it well, but still agreed.
Although she would definitely be noticed if she attended the party, that didn't mean she should just stay at home, right?
It's nothing more than a few more suitors. If Cheng Yao can't even stop her from having affairs, it only shows that he is not strong enough.
Ke Xiaoxia felt very at ease and followed Cheng Yao to attend the Du family's family recognition party.
Ke Hongyuan was so envious, he also wanted to watch the live broadcast.
Ke Hongyuan was so distraught that he went to look for his equally lowly friends.
Before he met his friends, he met Cheng Rui.
Cheng Rui took the initiative to talk: "Why are you here? Aren't you going to the Du family's family recognition banquet?"
Ke Hongyuan cheered up and did not feel that he and Cheng Rui were equal just because Cheng Yao had the tendency to become his brother-in-law.
"It's Brother Cheng. I wasn't invited, so I definitely can't take the initiative to go to their house. Brother Cheng, please go to the banquet as soon as possible and don't waste time."
Cheng Rui's lips curled slightly: "Why don't I take you with me? I still have the ability to bring someone with me."
"ah?"
Ke Hongyuan was finally pulled into the car by Cheng Rui, mainly because he didn't want to resist.
In the car, Cheng Rui asked inconspicuously: "If there is anyone else in your family who wants to go, I can take them along."
"No, no, there's only me and my sister at home, and my sister has already gone with Mr. Cheng."
“I see.”
The banquet is in the evening.
I have to start preparing in the morning, getting a suitable dress, and putting on makeup and styling my hair.
Du Ruo has an exquisite appearance and looks even better when she dresses up, but it’s just a dress prepared by her mother.
"this……"
Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with the dress, but when worn by the protagonist of the party, it seems a little too ordinary.
Du Ruo looked at the dress coldly, then called Du Zheyan to explain the situation.
In her previous life, she was stupid and only thought about pleasing Du's mother, so she wore an ordinary dress prepared by Du's mother. As a result, Du Xueruo stole the show at the family recognition banquet.
In this life, Du Ruo only wants to make himself a better person.
Du Zheyan is a fair person, but in her previous life she always longed for Du's mother to recognize her.
After a phone call, Du Zheyan arrived quickly.
When Du Zheyan saw the dress, his face looked unhappy.
He didn't know much about dresses, so it was Du's mother who prepared the dress. But even if she didn't understand, Du Zheyan knew that the dress was not good.
"There's still some time before the party. I'll have someone send the right dress over quickly."
"I'm afraid it's too late."
Du Ruo said in a cold voice: "My sister and I are similar in body shape. I think her dress is very elegant and gorgeous. Why don't we change."
"I don't mean to steal my sister's dress, but this is the Du family's family recognition banquet after all. As the protagonist of the banquet, if I make a fool of myself, it will also bring shame to the Du family."
Du Zheyan glanced at Du Ruo, then nodded: "Okay."
Du Xueruo was also dressing up at this time. When she saw Du Zheyan coming over, she called him in a very sweet tone, "Brother."
"Yeah." Du Zheyan responded, and had someone take away Du Xueruo's dress, and then left Du Ruo's original dress.
Du Xuerou's pupils shrank slightly, and her voice couldn't help but become a little sharp: "Brother, what are you doing?"
Du Zheyan said calmly and gently: "Du Ruo's dress is not well prepared, and there is no time to prepare a dress. She is the protagonist today and represents the face of the Du family."
"So I have to exchange dresses with her? I'm also a daughter of the Du family."
Du Xueruo's tone was aggrieved and hurt.
Du's mother rushed over after hearing the news and was equally indignant.
She questioned Du Zheyan: "Zheyan, what do you mean? This is the dress I prepared for Xue Rou. Didn't I prepare one for her as well? Why does she have to fight with Xue Rou for everything?"
Du Zheyan's originally gentle face slowly darkened.
He glanced at Du Xueruo and then looked at Du's mother.
"Today is the Du family's family reunion banquet. Du Ruo represents the Du family's reputation. The dress incident could have been avoided. It was you, Mom, who didn't think clearly that led to the current situation."
Du Zheyan didn't say anything harsh. He just glanced at the two of them calmly and turned away.

The banquet was held as scheduled.
Ke Xiaoxia, a person who should have had little presence, attracted a lot of attention because she came with Cheng Yao.
They stared in amazement at Ke Xiaoxia holding Cheng Yao's arm and couldn't help but exclaim "WTF!"
Even after the two of them sat down, some people were still in shock.
When I came to my senses, I was also shocked.
Someone asked his companions: "Am I dreaming? Cheng Yao actually brought a female companion?"
The person next to him was also stunned. He pinched himself and said, "It doesn't hurt. It seems that I am dreaming."
The person being pinched had a distorted expression: "You pinched me, so of course you don't feel any pain."
"Ah? It's not a dream?!"
Most people at the party were shocked that Cheng Yao actually brought a female companion.
But there are always a few people who stare at Ke Xiaoxia intently.
Among them were Mu Chen who was not far away, and Du Zheyan who was upstairs.
Du Zheyan was originally preparing to go downstairs, but he suddenly saw Ke Xiaoxia and Cheng Yao coming in. He saw Ke Xiaoxia earlier than others.
Du Zheyan looked for a long time before he remembered that he still had to go downstairs to entertain guests.
Mu Chen's condition is better than Du Zheyan's.
After all, he was in a crowd, with many people around him and a lot of whispering, which quickly drew his attention back.
Mu Chen was eager to make some moves.
He drank the wine in the glass, put it aside, then stood up and walked towards Cheng Yao.
Someone asked him, "Mr. Mu, where are you going?"
Mu Chen said with a smile: "Go say hello to Cheng Yao."
On the way, Mu Chen took another glass of wine from the waiter's tray.
Cheng Yao was talking to Ke Xiaoxia, his voice was a little low, not as cold as before.
He also brought some small cakes and snacks to Ke Xiaoxia.
"The banquet hasn't started yet, let's eat something to kill time."
Ke Xiaoxia accepted Cheng Yao's service with a smile.
When Mu Chen walked to the side, it was Ke Xiaoxia who looked up and saw it first.
He smiled at Ke Xiaoxia, his peach blossom eyes smiling as if filled with affection.
He has the potential to be an emotional cheater.
Ke Xiaoxia nodded politely, then looked away, not confused at all.
This made Mu Chen feel frustrated. Has he become so unattractive?
When Mu Chen arrived in front of him, Cheng Yao looked at him with a cold expression and said nothing.
He was completely different from the one who was whispering to Ke Xiaoxia just now.
Mu Chen sat down next to him shamelessly: "Come over to chat with you. May I know what is this lady's name?"
