Chapter 187: Three o'clock in the afternoon
Three o'clock in the afternoon
The suit that Lu Yi sent to the dry cleaners to prepare for the evening banquet was sent to the office.
This suit was bought by Xu Yuan when she ran away from home and was still outside with him, and when the Xu family was still helping her from time to time, he accompanied her to go shopping.
After entering Hui Valley, he put away the clothes that Xu Yuan bought for him in the past, but thinking that he was going to reappear in front of her tonight, he thought twice and chose this set.
The lead-gray suit looks very textured, and Lu Yize pays attention to the image itself, which is neat and neat inside and out, and the appearance of not smiling is very calm.
The banquet started at four o'clock in the afternoon, and he needed to prepare in advance, so as soon as the expected time came, he handed over the work to the people below in advance, and then walked out of the company in a glamorous manner.
After entering Huigu, his work ability is outstanding, and with Gu Suiyun's deliberate support, he has been promoted one after another, and now he can be regarded as a high-paid person.
Out of the building where Huigu Venture Capital was located, Lu Yize saw at a glance that the car he rented was parked not far away, for some reason, he suddenly felt a little dazed, and Xu Yuan's coquettish appearance in front of him kept emerging.
It's not that he hasn't heard that after Xu Yuan returned to Xu's house, he pestered his boss Gu Suiyun several times, saying that it was fake that he didn't mind.
But he knows better that he hasn't pulled her back to his side yet, and if he slows down, when he works harder, he can give her the life she wants!
Thinking of this, Lu Yize showed a cool smile on the corner of his mouth, took out the car keys from his trouser pocket, and walked straight over.
……
Xu family
In the end, they were afraid of Xu Yuan's presence, and today was still an important day, Xu Yi and his wife only closed the door and argued for a few words, and then it ended in Su Qingyu's crushing victory.
The ears were finally cleared, Xu Yuan also finished the skin care step, listened to the movement next door, and saw that the couple had indeed stopped, Xu Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to start putting on her makeup, Xu Yuan heard a knock on the door, and at the same time, her mother Su Qingyu's voice came in: "Yuanyuan, it's your mother, are you up?"
Xu Yuan didn't answer, but got up directly and went to open the door for her.
I had just quarreled with Xu Yi, even if she deliberately adjusted, Xu Yuan could still easily see the exhaustion on her face and the depression on her face.
I heard that her father raised a lover outside behind her mother's back, and the woman was even pregnant with a child, saying that it was very likely to be a son, which was undoubtedly equivalent to sticking a knife in her heart for the mother who failed to give birth to a son to her husband.
What if she wins every fight?
In the end, she still lost her husband who was wholeheartedly for her, and even pushed the other party farther and farther away because of her strong personality.
Looking at the fine lines and vicissitudes of age that suddenly appeared on her mother's face in a short period of time, Xu Yuan felt a little sorry for her, and at the same time complained about Xu Yi very much.
In the end, her mother was a woman who accompanied him all the way from poverty to wealth, and now he met a younger and more hearty person, and it was too ruthless to treat Su Qingyu like this.
But now Xu Yuan herself is already too busy to take care of herself, so why should she meddle in the affairs between her parents!
She slightly suppressed the obvious sourness on her face, raised her head slightly, and tried her best to pretend to be as innocent as before as if she didn't know anything: "Mom, why did you get up so early today? I just picked out a dress!"
Facing her daughter, Su Qingyu didn't want to let the bad mood infect her, as soon as she heard her say that she had picked out a dress, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and her smile was a little more sincere: "You are going to attend the banquet of the Guan family today, presumably Gu Suiyun's parents are also going, you will behave well when the time comes, make them happy, maybe when they will come to discuss the marriage date with us, you have to grasp it well." ”
Su Qingyu listened to these words over and over again, Xu Yuan didn't really hear them in his heart in the past, after all, how could a man of Gu Suiyun's temperament be a person who obediently obeyed his parents, especially when he was so pampered that he didn't hesitate to even wear 30 million dresses.
But now, Xu Yuan is a little repentant.
Seeing her parents quarreling so much about her marriage, she suddenly wondered if she really got their wish and married Gu Suiyun, would they at least be able to maintain the superficial harmony even if it was for her sake.
Not to mention her father's lover outside, since the other party dares to make trouble in front of her mother, she must rely on it, as long as her reliance is greater than anything, this family will not be scattered!
Looking at her mother, who was almost worn out by the discord between husband and wife, Xu Yuan couldn't help but reach out and hug her, her eyes instantly turned a little red, with a choked voice, she seemed to convince herself, and seemed to be assuring Su Qingyu: "Mom, I will definitely listen to you tonight." ”
"Okay, okay, my Yuanyuan is so good, which man is not impressed? ”
"Well, I think the red dress I bought last time I went shopping is not bad, Mom, you can help me refer to it again!"
"Yes, my daughter's vision can be bad, you bring your clothes, and your mother takes you outside to do the styling. ”
Xu Yuan had already thought about what kind of makeup she would put on herself, but she couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Su Qingyu say this, and it took a long time before she smiled sweetly: "Okay." ”
Just kidding, although I grew up with Ji Ran and saw Ji Ran's amazing makeup skills, no matter how the other party taught, Xu Yuan couldn't learn a trick and a half.
Her skills are barely enough to pass the usual daily makeup, but it is obviously not qualified to participate in the banquet, and now that Su Qingyu takes her to do the styling, she can also breathe a sigh of relief.
……
Four o'clock in the afternoon
Guan Hui's birthday banquet booked in advance of the Philippe Hotel slowly began to usher in the lively, the Guan family in C City is one of the best families in the end, hearing the news that the people who came to the banquet are either rich or expensive, and casually take out a stomp can make C City tremble.
Although it was Guan Hui's birthday, it was Gu Suiyun who was the host, and he directly chartered the largest banquet hall in Philippe - Fang Fei.
Half an hour before the banquet began, the person in charge of the Fangfei box finally checked the materials for the entire banquet, and then asked the three hundred waiters who had ordered in advance to start preparing to welcome the guests.
Fang Fei's dazzling lights and elaborate venue were filled with the smell of money, and a huge buffet table stood in the middle of the ballroom, with a giant two-meter-tall cake on one end and a mountain of wine glasses stacked with champagne glasses on the other.
Since the main purpose of this banquet is to celebrate Guan Hui's birthday, Gu Suiyun was also very intentional when he sent invitations, and he picked out young people of the second generation of rich and official generations who were about the same age, and none of them were invited at Xu Yi's age.
It is also because of this that Guan Hui is very face-saving and does not have a cold scene, and directly invites the entire employees of Huigu Venture Capital to the scene, making it not like his birthday party, but like the company's annual meeting.
After all, the banquet hall is large, and Gu Suiyun's real plan is not here, but he doesn't care how many people Guan Hui called when he lined up the people he sent out invitations.
Lu Yi came a little earlier than the rest of the company, and when he arrived, there were not many people in the venue, and even many of them were partners with interests in Huigu Venture Capital.
He has now basically taken over the business of Huigu Venture Capital, and he can talk a few words with these partners, so as not to be cold.
When it was almost five o'clock, the employees of Huigu Venture Capital arrived one after another, and the invited guests were almost there.
Ji Ran never thought that the important person Gu Suiyun said would be Lu Yize.
When Lu Yize saw Gu Suiyun appear, he smiled and interrupted the conversation with other people, and walked directly towards Gu Suiyun, many of the other people present also had the same actions as him, and when he saw Ji Ran following Gu Suiyun, he couldn't help but be stunned.
In an instant, he seemed to have figured out a lot of things, but he didn't seem to have figured out anything, and his head seemed to be a mess, making people unable to find a clue.
Gu Suiyun refused the conversation of the others, and directly led Ji Ran to the front of Lu Yize, who reacted and hurriedly greeted the two.
His gaze skimmed over Ji Ran, probably because he grew up together, but he didn't shy away from revealing a little doubt.
As if to dispel his doubts, Gu Suiyun directly hugged Ji Ran's waist, lowered his voice and stretched his head slightly to him to remind: "It seems that the person you are waiting for has not yet arrived." ”
Lu Yize was stunned for a moment, and then replied firmly: "She will come." ”
Like Ji Ran, he grew up in the Xu family, and he saw the temperament of Xu Yi and his wife very thoroughly, and when he received the invitation, no matter what the purpose, they would only fancy how much Xu Yuan could benefit for the Xu family, but no matter how big or small, she would be forced to participate.
In the past, when Xu Yuan didn't understand their intentions, every time after attending a banquet, he would complain to him, saying that he didn't like this kind of occasion at all, and felt like a vase that was being sold at a price.
Thinking of the past, Lu Yize's mouth brought a smile to the corner, but it made people feel a chill down their backs for no reason.
Ji Ran and Gu Suiyun were close, even if he lowered his voice, he would still inevitably be listened to.
She understood almost instantly that the person they were talking about was Xu Yuan.
"You ...... What are you going to do?"
Hearing her ask, Gu Suiyun smiled meaningfully, touched the top of Ji Ran's hair, and said comfortingly: "It's nothing, I just want to take this opportunity to introduce to you the new vice president of Huigu Venture Capital!"
