The next day, Lu Feng took his whole family out to buy new clothes. They not only needed to be warm, but also presentable, as he was going to bring Jiang Xiaoyan to the banquet that evening.
Jiang Xiaoyan kept making excuses, afraid of making a mistake in this situation and embarrassing Lu Feng.
"That dress is too thin, and it costs several hundred yuan. It's an autumn dress, and it's so expensive in the middle of winter," Jiang Xiaoyan muttered, and was about to leave.
"Buy it, that one looks really good on you!"
"Are you trying to freeze me to death? It's below zero outside."
“I asked Mr. Huang, and he said the indoor heating is very warm. Besides, we’re all from high society, so we won’t wear any evening gowns. This dress is just plain and elegant.” Lu Feng said to the sales assistant, “Just wrap that one up.”
"I'd rather stay home and chop some dumpling filling. I don't want to go!" Jiang Xiaoyan muttered.
Lu Feng looked at her and sighed, then said, "Are you going to be a housewife for the rest of your life?"
"I'm afraid you'll embarrass yourself, and the little one is being disobedient and crying. This is your first time attending a dinner party like this," Jiang Xiaoyan said worriedly, lowering her head and not daring to look at Lu Feng. In fact, she knew it was because of her inferiority complex.
She was just an ordinary woman, someone who had never seen much of the world, and had never even left her own province. The outside world, the lives and social ways of the wealthy, made her feel inferior.
"I don't know either, what should I do?" Lu Feng walked up to her, reached out and lifted her little head, and asked, "I'm also afraid of embarrassing myself."
"I am..."
“Who is born knowing how?” Lu Feng interrupted her, saying, “If you don’t adapt, you’ll never learn. Besides, I don’t have much influence in the business world now. Even if Duoduo makes a fuss, she’s just a child. Who’s going to hold it against her? Even if you do something rude, you’re so pretty that you’ll still look cute.”
Jiang Xiaoyan felt a warmth in her heart when she heard Lu Feng's words, but she understood that this dinner was very important to Lu Feng because of the damage she had caused to his career.
Just as she was about to decline, Lu Feng firmly retorted.
After buying the clothes, the family of three had a big meal and played at the amusement park with Duo Duo until after 4 p.m. before going home to change clothes.
It has to be said that Jiang Xiaoyan is simply perfect, both in terms of figure and face. Wearing a long dress that accentuates her figure, Lu Feng also felt that she was a bit ostentatious. After all, she is his wife. If someone else's wife were this sexy, he would definitely take a second look.
"This outfit won't do!" Jiang Xiaoyan blushed as she looked at herself in the mirror and said, "It's too flashy, like something a frivolous woman would wear."
"What nonsense are you talking about? This is sexy. Take this outfit." Lu Feng said, glancing at her a few more times before putting the long down jacket on her. Tonight, even if a big star came, no one would be as eye-catching as Jiang Xiaoyan.
In the north of the city, a large open space was fenced off. Not far away was a village. Everyone in the village knew that this fenced-off area was where wealthy people gathered, and cars were frequently seen coming and going.
Land is worthless now, anyone can occupy it if they want, and nobody cares. Someone built a private club here, which, unlike the Tianyue Hotel, further highlights the owner's status.
As dusk fell, the hall was already brightly lit. From a distance, the two-story building looked magnificent and resplendent, with its grandeur displayed under the floor-to-ceiling windows. To the village children, it was like a legendary fairy palace.
It's important to know that many places in China still don't have electricity, and some villages have only recently been connected to it.
Cars sped in, and those who came tonight were definitely wealthy and powerful people.
As Lu Feng drove, Duo Duo curiously looked out the window. When she saw the bright lights of the clubhouse, her little mouth opened wide and she exclaimed, "Mommy, look! Look!"
"So many lights, how much electricity does it use in one night?" Jiang Xiaoyan thought about the waste of electricity while saying, "But it's really beautiful."
“It will definitely be beautiful. In thirty years, the lights will illuminate the entire continent. Now everyone calls it the City That Never Sleeps, but it will become the Kingdom That Never Sleeps.” Lu Feng drove the car through the fence gate.
"How could that be? That would require so much electricity. I read in the newspaper the other day that our country is still facing a power shortage," Jiang Xiaoyan muttered.
Lu Feng smiled but didn't say anything. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it either, let alone imagine the past from 90 years ago.
Two rows of hostesses were already standing at the entrance, shivering in the cold wind, but with smiles on their faces. They were gathered together, exchanging greetings.
Lu Feng parked his car in the parking lot next door, got out, and walked towards the main entrance.
"Mr. Zhao, please come in. It's too cold outside. Please forgive us if we haven't been hospitable enough." A balding middle-aged man said politely, with a woman who looked to be only in her thirties standing next to him, exuding an air of elegance.
"Who is this person?" The middle-aged man adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and sized up Lu Feng as he approached. This dinner party was of a very high level, and everyone present was someone he knew. He was certain that he did not recognize the person in front of him.
Everyone turned around to look, and when they saw Lu Feng, one of the men said, "Isn't this Jia Mei's boss?"
"You didn't invite him?"
No.
"Here to freeload at the dinner party?"
Lu Feng stopped when he was almost at the door, turned around and glanced at Jiang Xiaoyan, who was shivering and rubbing her hands, carrying Duo Duo and rushing over.
Lu Feng took Duo Duo from him and said, "Let's go, it's warm inside!"
"Hello, welcome to Mengling Mansion. My name is He Qugong." The bespectacled man extended his hand.
"Hello, my name is Lu Feng." Lu Feng shook hands and said, "This is my wife."
