Everyone hid all their suspicions in their hearts and only looked curious.
"Mr. Lu, how are you? My name is Chen, and I am the steward of the old island master of Tianyu Island. On behalf of the young island master, I wish Mr. Lu a happy birthday. This is the birthday gift that the young island master asked me to give to Mr. Lu."
Butler Chen took out an exquisite palm-sized box from his arms.
Yu Hai quickly took it with both hands.
Mr. Lu wanted to ask why their young island master suddenly gave him a birthday present, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
It's very rude to ask this question directly in front of the guests.
And it happened in public.
It’s not too late to ask after the banquet is over.
Mr. Lu was planning to ask Yu Hai to arrange a seat for Butler Chen.
Old housekeeper Chen waved his hand and said he had something to do when he got home and would come again when he had the chance.
This sentence undoubtedly tells everyone that the people of Tianyu Island have a close relationship with Mr. Lu.
It’s not as simple as just giving a birthday gift once and then cutting off contact.
Everyone looked at Mr. Lu with envy and jealousy.
Being connected to Tianyu Island meant interacting with the gods. Who wouldn't envy that? Who wouldn't want that?
Why didn't such a good thing happen to them?
Why did it all happen at Mr. Lu’s birthday party today?
The Lu family already has a very high status in the capital. In this case, even the country will have to treat the Lu family differently.
However, before leaving, the old butler Chen looked at Xiao Qingran a few more times.
Although his eyes were still calm, Xiao Qingran felt that there was a light flashing in his eyes.
Xiao Qingran complained in her heart, what's wrong with these people who gave her gifts? It wasn't her birthday, so why were they looking at her?
She could understand the people of Xuanmen, but Shen Yi might be curious about her, the heir of Xuanmen.
The other two are really baffling!
At this moment, the head of the Wei family was regretting his decision to the core.
Although the Xiao family head was filled with regret, he did not show it on the surface. Although Xiao Qingran was standing not far away, he did not dare to look at her.
Perhaps he knew very well that what he and Xiao Yuruo had done was enough to erase the kindness the Xiao family had shown to Xiao Qingran in raising her over the years.
The most excited ones were the head of the Chu family and Mrs. Chu.
After some discussion, the two decided to let Chu Dingxuan pursue Xiao Qingran.
As long as Xiao Qingran marries into the Chu family, the Lu family will definitely help Dingxuan seize control of the Chu family from Luo Jiuyan in the future.
They don't have to be inferior to an outsider all the time.
Although this episode was small, it left a deep impression on all the guests. In short, the Lu family should be treated with kindness and not offended.
Even Mr. Lu couldn't calm down for a long time.
The banquet was held in a buffet style, and the guests who could sit on the same floor with Mr. Lu naturally had a special status in Dijing.
Wang Hengzhi waited until Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu beside Xiao Qingran went to talk to others before he found the opportunity to talk to Xiao Qingran.
"Xiao Qingran, congratulations. Our family and the Lu family have been friends for generations. From now on, you will be my sister."
As Wang Hengzhi spoke, he raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Xiao Qingran raised her lips: "It's too early to call me sister. It seems that Grandpa Wang hasn't given up on the idea of making me his apprentice. I don't mind being older than you."
Wang Hengzhi: “…”
I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it before.
But now I suddenly realized that if Xiao Qingran became a higher generation, wouldn't that kid Ah Heng also be superior to him?
"Relax, studying medicine is boring and uninteresting. Grandpa Lu will definitely not let you suffer."
Although Wang Hengzhi said this, he was actually complaining about his grandfather in his heart. Why did he have to choose Xiao Qingran?
As the two were talking, an old man suddenly came over with a wine glass in hand.
Xiao Qingran and Wang Hengzhi looked at him at the same time.
"Miss, although this is the first time we meet, I have known of your existence for a long time. Next is Li Mingyang, the head of the Li family."
Patriarch Li nodded towards Xiao Qingran.
"Mo...Li Xingshu's grandfather?"
Xiao Qingran originally intended to say that it was Mo Yan's grandfather, but only said one word. Then, remembering that Mo Yan had never revealed her family background and was now missing, she mentioned Li Xingshu's name.
"Yes, Xingshu is my granddaughter."
Patriarch Li smiled gratefully at Xiao Qingran.
The Li family had Mo Yan hiding her identity and mixing in the entertainment industry for a very useful reason. Even if she disappeared now, her true identity couldn't be exposed.
Seeing that the head of the Li family seemed to have something to do with Xiao Qingran, Wang Hengzhi offered to go over there. He exchanged a glance with Xiao Qingran and went to find Lu Jihan.
As soon as he left, Patriarch Li calmed down his expression and said to Xiao Qingran, "Miss, our people have tracked down Rong Yan's assistant, Lin Yu. He suddenly appeared in a private club in Imperial Capital a few days ago. When our people arrived, he had disappeared again. Everyone who saw him had no memory of him at all. This is quite strange. I think Miss is also tracking down Rong Yan and Lin Yu, so I'll take this opportunity to tell her today."
Xiao Qingran raised an eyebrow: "Why does Patriarch Li think that I am tracking them down?"
Could it be that this old guy has some bad idea and wants to use her to investigate Mo Yan's whereabouts with him?
"Miss, please don't misunderstand me. I simply feel that Rong Yan and Lin Yu are both mysterious and dangerous. I'm sure they initially wanted you as their spokesperson. Although, I don't know what happened later, but Mo Yan replaced you. Perhaps, they've been targeting you for a long time. Rather than being passive, why not join forces and find them?"
The head of the Li family originally had no intention of provoking Xiao Qingran, for fear that there was a powerful force behind her.
Ever since he knew that she was Lu's cousin, Mr. Li felt relieved.
No matter what force is behind Xiao Qingran, as long as the Lu family and Xiao Qingran are involved, Xiao Qingran will be cautious.
He would be more confident in convincing Xiao Qingran to stand on the same front with him.
Xiao Qingran smiled, a smile that was profound and meaningful: "Then what does Patriarch Li have to offer to join forces with me? Just those assassins your Li family has raised?"
If you want to use her, just say so. As for cooperation, the Li family is really not worthy of her.
The Li family's information network and the killers they recruit are enough for ordinary people.
But to deal with super-powered people like Rong Yan and Lin Yu is undoubtedly like a gnat trying to shake a tree.
Could it be that the Li family still doesn’t know that Mo Yan is a super-powered person?
It is said that super powers will be passed down to the next generation.
Since Mo Yan is, then one of Mo Yan's father or mother should be too!
Or maybe Li Xingshu should also have superpower bloodline.
Since Patriarch Li doesn’t know, does that mean that Mo Yan’s superpowers were inherited from her mother?
But according to the information found by Liusha, Mo Yan's mother is just an ordinary person.
That would be interesting.
Mo Yan's biological mother must be someone else.
She and Li Xingshu should be half-sisters.
So Li Xingshu does not have the blood of a super-powered person.
The Li family are all ordinary people.
