Chapter 82 Peeping
"Jingyao, you're here, come in quickly, your parents are here." Lu Zeyuan came forward, his face full of friendliness.
The other guests were surprised when they saw this scene. Lu Zeyuan was the patriarch of the Lu family and he seldom welcomed a young man in person. But when they saw that the person he was receiving was Lu Jingyao, they no longer found it strange.
Lu Zeyuan is only a branch of the Lu family, and its assets are estimated to be less than one-tenth of those of Lu Jingyao's family. He has to rely on Lu Jingyao's family for many things, so naturally he dare not be negligent in his attitude.
"Third cousin." After Lu Jingyao greeted him, he turned around, opened the back door himself, and helped Xu Youyou get out of the car.
The guests around couldn't help but wonder in their hearts when they saw this scene. Did Lu Jingyao fall in love? After all, no one had ever seen him be so considerate to a girl.
A hand stretched out from the car door, with distinct joints, white and slender, which was enough to arouse people's imagination at just one glance.
The moment they saw Xu Youyou's face, everyone couldn't help but breathe more slowly.
She was wearing a long, fresh green satin dress with thin straps, outlining her graceful figure. She was so beautiful that she looked like a dream. If the wind blew, one would be afraid that she would be blown away.
"Such a beautiful girl, no wonder even the thousand-year-old iceberg Lu Jingyao is moved." A guest whispered.
Everyone could see that Lu Jingyao's mind was entirely on Xu Youyou at this moment.
Lu Shaoyan was originally standing behind his father Lu Zeyuan. When he saw Xu Youyou, his eyes widened in surprise.
The last time we met was at the Jade Museum. Although Xu Youyou was dressed in a grand manner at that time, she was only wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans. She was not at all like she is now, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off her.
Lu Shaoyan went to the Jade Museum several more times afterwards, but did not meet Xu Youyou. He did not expect to meet her here. He had always guessed that Xu Youyou was a canary raised by some big boss. Now that the mystery was solved, he could not laugh at all.
What made him even more upset was that Lu Jingyao actually brought people here directly. What was the difference between this and an official announcement? Could this woman become his cousin's wife? Would he have to rely on flattering her to make a living in the future?
Lu Shaoyan kept staring at Xu Youyou, with all sorts of messy thoughts flashing through his mind, and he didn't realize that the look in Lu Jingyao's eyes when he was looking at him had become extremely unfriendly.
Lu Zeyuan was still very experienced. He pulled his son hard and asked with a smile, "You have been staring at Miss Xu. Do you know each other?"
Xu Youyou smiled and said, "I did meet Young Master Lu once, and he even gave me a good stone."
The old things were brought up again. When Lu Shaoyan thought about how he had lost 400 million for no apparent reason, he forced a smile on his face that was uglier than crying.
But when Lu Jingyao heard this, he looked at him as if he were a love rival: "Third cousin, I didn't know Lu Shaoyan had the habit of buying stones. Although it is gambling on stones, it is still related to gambling, so it is better to stay away from it."
Lu Zeyuan turned around and glared at his son, scaring Lu Shaoyan so much that he shrank his neck and acted like a quail.
"Jing Yao, thanks for your reminder. This good-for-nothing in my family is really far inferior to you. He can't even write two characters "Lu" with one stroke. You should take care of your cousin in the future. I'll be relieved if he can learn one percent of what you have done." Lu Zeyuan tried to get close to him.
Lu Jingyao was still concerned about Xu Youyou's feet, so he said a few perfunctory words and led his men inside.
"Are you relatives?" Xu Youyou asked.
Lu Jingyao immediately explained: "Although they are relatives, the relationship is quite distant. Today is their grandfather's 70th birthday."
Xu Youyou was puzzled: "Is there an important person coming to celebrate the birthday?"
Lu Jingyao nodded: "He is from the capital. He has some connection with Lu Shaoyan's family. He has a tight schedule, so he asked me to meet him here to discuss in detail."
At this time, a middle-aged man and woman on the second floor were looking down cautiously from upstairs.
"Is that the girl Jingyao likes?" Father Lu asked cautiously.
Mother Lu is obsessed with looks. She looked at Xu Youyou with sparkling eyes and said, "She is so pretty, but I don't know whose child she is."
Father Lu said, "You know all the girls in the circle. You have held many tea parties at home over the years. It's a pity that Jing Yao didn't like any of them."
Mother Lu got angry when she mentioned this: "If I had known that he would take so long to catch on, I wouldn't have bothered to think about it!"
Father Lu was worried: "You don't even know him, so he must not be in the circle. If he is not a well-matched marriage, I'm afraid it will not help Jingyao much, and it won't last long..."
Mother Lu interrupted him: "Come on, her face is a good match for Jingyao! You are always nitpicking. Wait until Jingyao brings back a man who is a good match, and then you will know what a good match is!"
Father Lu was speechless for a moment, and he just stretched his neck to take a good look at how the two of them got along.
"Just hide yourself, people are looking up!" Mother Lu reminded hurriedly.
Xu Youyou downstairs felt as if someone was staring at her. She looked up, only to see two heads shrinking back frantically.
Lu Jingyao followed her line of sight and immediately frowned: "Sit here for a while. I see two acquaintances. Go say hello to them."
Before leaving, Lu Jingyao helped Xu Youyou to sit on the sofa beside him, and even remembered to bring her some fruit snacks and drinks.
Lu Jingyao walked a few steps to the corner of the banquet hall and went up to the second floor along the hidden stairs.
At this time, Lu's parents carefully stretched their necks and looked downstairs again.
"Why is the girl alone? Where did that bad boy go? Why did he leave her there alone?" Mother Lu complained.
Father Lu said, "Maybe people don't like his sour face every day, think he's annoying, and ignore him?"
Father Lu, who had been thinking about the match between the two families, suddenly became anxious.
Lu Jingyao stood behind his parents with a gloomy face, listening to the two people saying bad things about him, and coughed to remind them.
"Old Lu, why are you coughing suddenly? Do you have a cold?" Lu's mother asked casually.
Father Lu was puzzled: "I'm not coughing."
Upon hearing this, the couple turned around and saw Haodaer standing behind them.
"You walked silently and scared me!" Mother Lu took the initiative to blame her son.
Lu Jingyao said, "Didn't you say you couldn't come? You agreed earlier to let me represent you to attend today's banquet?"
Mr. and Mrs. Lu looked at each other guiltily.
"This is... This is because I haven't seen my relatives for a long time. It's a good opportunity to come here to reconnect with them." Mother Lu explained dryly.
Lu Jingyao frowned and said, "I remember you hated their family the most."
Lu Shaoyan's family often flaunts themselves outside under the name of Lu Jingyao, which makes Lu's father and mother unhappy. Therefore, Lu's parents rarely show up for Lu Shaoyan's family affairs. This time, if they hadn't heard that Lu Jingyao would bring a female companion, the couple would never come to join in the fun.
Mother Lu casually exposed her peeping behavior and kept asking Lu Jingyao, "Son, tell us, where is this girl from? What does she do? What is her education? How many people are there in her family? Does she have a good temper?"
Lu Jingyao said, "She is not the daughter of any family. She is in the antique business and has a good eye. She has successfully found bargains several times. Now she has business dealings with me."
Father Lu frowned slightly when he heard this.
Mother Lu was very excited: "The first generation of rich people! A strong woman! Not only is she beautiful, but she is also capable. My son has a good eye! Maybe one day when our family goes bankrupt, I can still live with you!"
