Chapter 014: The Chu Family's Birthday Banquet
Su Qing's hands and feet were tied with tough nylon ropes, and a yellow sealing glue was also attached to her mouth, and when she saw Lu Xuan standing at the door, she immediately struggled, and the taste of plea appeared in her watery eyes.
Lu Xuan walked over to help her untie the nylon rope, and then slowly tore off the sealing glue attached to her mouth.
"Thank you!" Su Qing looked at Lu Xuan gratefully and thanked him repeatedly.
But without waiting for Lu Xuan to inquire about what happened, he saw Su Qing suddenly stand up and quickly rush towards the man who was the leader.
The sharp pain in his thigh made the man unable to move, and Su Qing was rummaging for something on him.
Soon, Su Qing took out something from the man's trouser pocket, with an excited expression on her face.
Lu Xuan glanced at it curiously, and found that it was an emerald green jade pendant, the appearance of the jade pendant was strange, and there were two fish connected to each other on the jade surface.
"Thank you so much." Su Qing put away the jade pendant, turned around and thanked Lu Xuan again, and then hurriedly walked towards the door.
"And what about these people?" Lu Xuan saw Su Qing walking out of the house, and hurriedly chased after him and asked.
"Ignore it, I'm in a hurry to save people now." Su Qing shook her head and walked down the stairs with a little staggering.
Lu Xuan found out that Su Qing's calf had a wound and was still bleeding, and he frowned and said, "You are injured!" ”
"It's fine." Su Qing shook her head again and again, and the person had disappeared around the corner of the stairs, leaving only the sound of high heels 'da-da-da'.
Lu Xuan saw Su Qing stop a taxi that happened to pass by and leave, but when he turned around, he found that the three men were supporting each other, and they were about to leave at night, so he immediately stepped up, grabbed the collar of the man in charge, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?" ”
"It's none of our business, someone gave us the address here, let the three of us come and grab a piece of jade, we're just helping people run errands, spare us." The man at the head pleaded in a mournful voice.
Lu Xuan's eyes narrowed, and the sharp essence pierced the man's eyes like sharp arrows, frightening him to take two steps back.
"You really don't know?"
"I don't know, I really don't know!" The three men shook their heads violently.
", don't let me see you again!" Lu Xuan waved his hand, and the three men fled quickly as if they had been granted amnesty.
"It's mysterious in the middle of the night, this woman is really strange!" Lu Xuan scratched the back of his head, and didn't have time to pay attention to it, so he packed up his things and returned to the hotel.
Following.
Lu Xuan, who had been tossing all night, didn't wake up until noon, and after washing, he changed into that black suit and prepared to go to Grandpa Chu's birthday banquet.
Luo Xun'er left early in the morning and left a note for Lu Xuan, saying that she had accompanied Chen Jianyang and Lu Xiaoyu to see the house.
In fact, Luo Xun'er knew that today was the birthday banquet of Old Man Chu, but her current identity was Chu Luoyan's internal response, once she went to the birthday banquet and was recognized by those who had crossed paths, her identity would be exposed.
For the sake of Chu Da Beauty's marriage, Luo Xun'er must continue to lurk and find out Lu Xuan's character and details, so she can only accompany Lu Xiaoyu and Chen Jianyang to see the house.
According to the address provided by Chu Weiran on the phone yesterday, Lu Xuan took a taxi to an idyllic villa on the outskirts of Ninghai City.
In the courtyard of the villa there were several black Audis, as well as a red Maserati.
There were four bodyguards standing at the door, with grim expressions.
"Hello, please show me the invitation." Lu Xuan walked over and was immediately stopped.
"I'm sorry, I don't have an invitation, can you help me go in and report it, just say that Lu Xuan is here." Lu Xuan said with a smile.
At this time, an old man came out of the villa, looked Lu Xuan up and down, and then asked, "You are Xiao Xuan?" ”
"It's me." Lu Xuan nodded and said.
The old man's hair is thick, but it has all been combed white to the back of his head, his face is slightly long, small eyes, long nose, and the sides of his cheeks are somewhat sunken, revealing high cheekbones.
The old man smiled slightly and said kindly, "Come in with me." ”
Lu Xuan followed the old man into the villa.
Lu Xuan originally thought that there would be a lot of guests, but it turned out that they were all from the Chu family.
When several middle-aged people who were chatting with wine glasses saw Lu Xuan behind the old man, their faces became complicated, and they sank the wine glasses in their hands and walked towards Lu Xuan.
"You are Lu Xuan?" It was Chu Luoyan's father who spoke, the most docile person in the entire Chu family.
He looked at Lu Xuan, and after asking a few more questions, he turned around and introduced Lu Xuan to the others.
"I heard that you are a special soldier, I don't know which number you belong to?"
"Uncle Chu, I'm retired now." Lu Xuan replied, in fact, the last special forces team he stayed in didn't have a number at all.
"Retired...... So what are you going to do next, if you need it, your uncle can help you get through the relationship. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Chu, I haven't thought about it yet."
"Okay, the Chu family and the Lu family have always been world friends, if there is any difficulty, you can come to find it at any time!"
"Okay, definitely!"
The Chu family has a total of four brothers, Chu Luoyan's father Chu Tianxiong ranks first, followed by Chu Zhenxiong, Chu Yingying, and Chu Haoxiong. From the brief greetings, Lu Xuan could feel that the attitude of these people was quite friendly.
Not far away, there was a group of young people in their early twenties, about the same age as Lu Xuan, both male and female, but Lu Xuan quickly stopped his gaze on a woman.
The woman was very beautiful, and his intuition told him that this woman was Chu Luoyan.
Chu Luoyan also seemed to have a premonition, and looked at Lu Xuan's gaze.
Eye to eye contact.
Somehow, Chu Luoyan smiled unconsciously.
Lu Xuan also responded politely with a smile.
Next to him, Chu Luoyan's cousin Chu Xiaoxiao caught the smile between Chu Luoyan and Lu Xuan, and a hint of banter flashed in her eyes.
"Tut, cousin, this is your fiancé. It looks quite honest and looks good. Chu Xiaoxiao said quirkily.
Chu Luoyan frowned slightly, and glanced at Chu Xiaoxiao.
"I'm telling the truth. Cousin, if you don't want to, I'll do it. Chu Xiaoxiao's eyes were smiling, and he looked harmless to humans and animals.
However, Chu Luoyan knows very well that the most naughty mischievous person in the entire Chu family is none other than this girl.
At this time, a gentle man walked to Chu Luoyan's side.
The man has excellent appearance, extraordinary temperament, and the warm and refreshing smile is extremely lethal to women, wearing a silver slim suit, no tie, but a bow tie.
The man's name is Mu Bai, and he is one of Chu Luoyan's suitors, and it can be seen from the fact that he can participate in the family feast of the Chu family, he is ranked very high in this 'one', and he is very favored by Chu Luoyan's uncles.
Lu Xuan observed that when Mu Bai approached Chu Luoyan, there was a trace of boredom in Chu Luoyan's eyes, but she covered it up well, and this trace of boredom was fleeting.
In general, the people of the Chu family seem to be very cold, and Lu Xuan probably recognizes that several of Chu Luoyan's uncles are all from military backgrounds, but her father is not, or the man who claims to help Lu Xuan change careers.
While Lu Xuan was resting in the corner, Chu Weiran came over, took Lu Xuan's hand and took him to a few old comrades-in-arms, and introduced: "Look, Lao Lu's grandson!" ”
"Like, it's really like, it's like when Lao Lu was young." An old man looked at Lu Xuan with wide eyes for a long time, and then smiled heartily.
"It's just a mold."
In the face of the praise of several old people, Lu Xuan responded modestly, and soon talked and laughed with a few old people, and a few old people were excited together, and they were going to take Lu Xuan to make tea and play chess.
Chu Luoyan retracted the gaze placed on Lu Xuan, and lowered her head to open the message sent by Luo Xun'er: "Chu Da Beauty, have you seen Lu Xuan?" ”
"See!" Chu Luoyan replied.
"Did you talk? How do you feel about him? Luo Xun'er on the other end of the phone replied with interest.
"Not yet, it feels ordinary."
"Absolutely not ordinary!" Luo Xun'er replied in a hurry.
"Maybe, I think he's a little mysterious."
"Yes, I also think Lu Xuan is very mysterious, as to why he suddenly retired, my sister is very interested now!"
"Then Luoluo, you continue to lurk, you must investigate him clearly." Chu Luoyan replied to Luo Xun'er with a message, and then set his eyes on Lu Xuan.
On the other end of the phone, Luo Xun'er saw the message replied by Chu Luoyan, and a sly smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
In the corner, a gloomy eye was peeking at Chu Luoyan, and after finding that she had been staring at the new kid, this gloomy look seemed to ignite anger.
Mu Bai clenched his fists, and suddenly remembered that Chu Luoyan seemed to have a fiancé named Lu Xuan, looking at the kid who was playing chess carefully with a few old men, Mu Bai frowned, thinking that it could be him.
Mu Bai had long believed that Chu Luoyan was the food he had put in the bowl, and Lu Xuan's appearance was tantamount to inserting chopsticks into his bowl to snatch away this piece of good meat, which Mu Bai would never allow.
A fierce color flashed in his eyes, and he walked towards Lu Xuan and a few old men.
"Grandpa Chu, it's really presumptuous to come uninvited today, here I wish you happiness like the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan, this is a little bit of the younger generation's heart, I hope Grandpa Chu can smile." After Mu Bai bowed to Chu Weiran, he took out a delicately packaged box from his arms and offered it with both hands.
A chill flashed in Chu Weiran's eyes, but he quickly covered it up, took the box and said, "Okay, Mu Bai, you have a heart,"
Seeing someone giving congratulatory gifts, the surrounding people gathered around.
I saw Chu Weiran slowly open the lid of the box, and a Maitreya Buddha appeared in front of everyone's eyes, the size of an adult's thumb, its texture was pure and flawless, the luster was warm, and the whole body was emerald green and rich, like a transparent crystal.
"It's beautiful!"
"This is imperial green?"
Many people exclaimed in surprise when they saw it.
"This Maitreya Buddha is carved from the jade carved from the best stone on the Myanmar public plate this year, I didn't expect it to be marked by your kid, just such a piece, let alone millions." Next to him, Chu Luoyan's third uncle, Chu Yingying, shouted out in surprise.
Hearing this, Mu Bai smiled very proudly and explained: "The jade is indeed solved from the original stone, but there are too many bidders, and I only got such a little bit in the end, but then again, it is mainly for Grandpa Chu's heart, and how much money is spent is not the most important thing." ”
Mu Bai showed a provocative look and deliberately fell on Lu Xuan, and that look clearly wanted to oppress Lu Xuan.
Not far away, Chu Luoyan was also paying attention, she knew that Mu Bai wanted to wait for Lu Xuan to use the jade to compare it with Lu Xuan's gift when he took out the gift, and then make Lu Xuan make a fool of himself, and a touch of boredom flashed in her eyes.
