"I prepared a black shimmering dress for Ranran. But it looks so different from what she's wearing."
My cousin's wife took out a box helplessly.
My second cousin's wife also took out a box of shoes. "I customized these crystal shoes. I was embarrassed to take them out when I saw the ones on Ranran's feet."
"Thank you, my three sisters-in-law. I like them all."
Everything Xiao Qingran was wearing was given to her by Luo Jiuyan.
Before she returned from the crew, Xianyun was delivered to the old lady.
Not only the set he was wearing was delivered, but three replacement sets were also delivered, each one pre-matched.
The old lady was extremely satisfied with Luo Jiuyan.
With the old lady's vision, how could she not see how valuable the gift from Luo Jiuyan was.
Just this little thing is enough to prove how much Luo Jiuyan cares about Xiao Qingran.
"As long as you like it."
The three sisters-in-law were very happy to see that Xiao Qingran did not dislike the gifts they gave her because they were not as good as she herself.
I'm just curious. After Xiao Qingran left the Xiao family, their aunt hasn't contacted the Lu family. How could she have so much money to customize a suit that is even more advanced than the one they gave her?
However, they just thought about it and didn't ask any further questions.
After all, everyone has their own secrets.
Even though my aunt hasn't returned to the Lu family for decades, she is still not comparable to ordinary people.
However, Xiao Yi, after seeing the luxury of the Lu family, was not as calm as the old lady and Xiao Qingran.
There is always a glimmer of excitement in his eyes from time to time.
The birthday party starts at 6:30 in the evening.
The Lu family has made all the arrangements, everyone should be there on time at 5:30.
The Lu family invited a lot of people.
There were also some who were not invited, and all of them were arranged on the first to third floors of the hotel.
The fourth and fifth layers are distant relatives.
The sixth layer is the partners with whom we have business dealings.
The seventh and eighth floors are the second tier of the Imperial Capital, where families like Li Xingshu and the Zuo family live.
The ninth floor is for the relatives and friends of the Lu family and the heads of the four major families.
Both the Xiao family head and the Wei family head are here tonight.
Everyone knew that the head of the Xiao family was divorcing his wife. Everyone sympathized with him but also laughed at him in private.
The Wei family became a topic of conversation among everyone after dinner.
If the Wei family had not asked Wei Zishu to break off the engagement with Xiao Qingran because she was a fake daughter.
After that, not only would Wei Zishu be safe, but the Wei family would also become in-laws with the Xiao and Lu families. Of the four great families, three would unite. Even if the Chu family was powerful, they couldn't defeat three, right?
But such a good opportunity and such a good hand were completely ruined by the Wei family.
Now the Wei family is not accepted by the public.
Even if the Xiao family is in the wrong, they will no longer stand on the same side as the Wei family.
Not to mention the Lu family, what the Wei family did to Xiao Qingran cannot be let go just like that.
The Lu family was known for their protectiveness. Furthermore, the Lu family hadn't had a daughter for three generations, so when Xiao Qingran returned to the Lu family, she was doted on.
Although she is a cousin, she is also the only girl in the Lu family.
Even Xiao Yuruo, the legitimate daughter of a wealthy family, may not be able to compare with the treatment Xiao Qingran receives in the Lu family.
After the two family heads met, they just looked at each other and sat down in silence.
Even when other people greeted them, they were absent-minded and said a few perfunctory words before dropping the topic.
The head of the Wei family brought his wife with him, but she was worried about being pointed at by someone she knew. As soon as she arrived at the banquet, she made an excuse to go to the bathroom. She asked the waiter to find her a rest room and she stayed there.
The current head of the Chu family is Luo Jiuyan’s uncle.
His wife was Ning Ai, the elder sister of Mrs. Yuan Xiao.
As soon as she arrived at the banquet hall, she saw the head of the Xiao family sitting alone.
She raised a hint of sneer at the corner of her mouth and walked over slowly.
"What a decadent world! These days, there are still daughters forcing their own mothers to divorce their fathers. And this father not only doesn't blame his daughter, he even fulfills her wish and drives his wife away. This kind of man is simply unworthy of being a human being. He deserves to be torn apart by his wife and children and be laughed at by others."
Anyone sitting near the head of the Xiao family could tell that Ning Ai's indirect criticism was directed at the head of the Xiao family.
However, from Ning Ai's words, everyone could tell that it was Xiao Yuruo who instigated the divorce between Patriarch Xiao and Madam Xiao.
This made everyone think again, was it because Xiao Yuruo forced Xiao Qingran to leave?
Listening to the whispers of the crowd, Ning Ai smiled triumphantly.
The head of the Xiao family, who was being talked about by everyone, had a gloomy face. He mistook the water on the table for wine and drank one cup after another.
When the head of the Wei family saw this scene, he snorted in his heart, thinking that he was really asking for trouble.
However, he was also worried that the Lu family would cause trouble for him. Just based on what his son had done in private, the Lu family was enough to beat Wei Zishu to death a hundred times.
Just when he was feeling uneasy, he heard someone saying that the Lu family had arrived.
Seeing several younger generations of the Lu family coming out and greeting everyone, the head of the Wei family became a little restless.
Compared to the Lu family’s flourishing descendants, the Wei family’s next generation is almost zero.
In terms of numbers, the Wei family lost to the Lu family, not to mention that the Lu family also had a leading figure like Mr. Lu.
The Wei family has far more connections than they can match.
"Hello, Uncle Xiao. I'm glad you can come to my grandfather's birthday party. Why don't I see your daughter? None of us have met her yet! She would definitely enjoy this kind of party."
When Lu Jingyu said this, everyone couldn't help but gasp inwardly.
I knew this banquet was going to be something special, but I didn't expect it to start so soon.
These are just the younger generation of the Lu family.
Patriarch Xiao said awkwardly, "She's not feeling well and is resting at home. I'll bring her out to see the world when I have the chance."
Lu Jingyu just nodded slightly, as if he didn't care about his explanation, and turned directly to the head of the Wei family.
"Uncle Wei, it's such an honor that you can come to my grandfather's birthday party. I heard that Young Master Wei just broke off his engagement and is single again. I wonder if Young Master Wei is here? There are many famous ladies attending this party!"
The head of the Wei family felt a pang in his heart. What he feared was indeed what came true.
But in front of so many people, he forced a smile on his face: "The company has been too busy recently, and that kid has a lot of things to do."
He was unwilling to say a single extra word.
The more you talk, the more mistakes you make.
Everyone praised Patriarch Wei's wit.
But do you think you can escape Mr. Lu’s wrath in this way?
The banquet started on time at half past six.
Old Master Lu brought the old lady and Xiao Qingran with him, and the three of them walked in the front. Xiao Yi and the three brothers of the Lu family followed behind them and appeared in everyone's sight.
Xiao Qingran's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Xiao Qingran supported the old lady with his left hand and supported Mr. Lu with his right hand. Although they were old and strong and did not need support, the two of them insisted that Xiao Qingran stand between them.
