Chapter 40: Expulsion
Looking at Lu Xiao's cute appearance, Yin Shenfu was slightly stunned, and then laughed. It's been a long time since I've laughed like this, and the man in front of me is really funny!
Actually, when Yin Shenfu walked over and sat next to Lu Xiao. These two people, a profligate skeleton and an extremely ugly combination, have attracted the attention of many people.
Among them was Robert, who was in charge of the banquet.
When he saw Lu Xiao directly forking a whole steak with a fork and chewing it in a big gulp, he was deeply affected by the strict etiquette training in the past few years, and the disgust in Robert's eyes was even stronger.
At this time, Situ Hao, who had just had a conflict with Lu Xiao at the door, also saw Lu Xiao's appearance at this time. A sneer rose at the corner of his mouth, and he walked towards Robert enthusiastically.
"Robert, long time no see!" Situ Hao greeted him warmly.
Robert, who had been busy with banquet matters, saw that it was Situ Hao, and his old-fashioned face showed a long-lost smile. The two of them cordially made a close salute, and Robert habitually greeted Situ Hao in a stubborn manner, "Long time no see!" Vast! How are you doing? β
Robert knew Situ Hao, or Situ Hao had an accident in Jingcheng and was sent abroad by his father in the past few years, and helped Robert by chance.
After saluting, Situ Hao nodded with a smile at Robert's inquiry, and took out a small gift that had already been prepared for Robert, a small gift box the size of a red square palm, and handed it to him, "This is a gadget from Huaguo, Robert, you must accept it." β
Accepting gifts from friends is also a kind of etiquette, Robert took Situ Hao's gift with gratitude, and opened the gift box in front of him.
I saw a piece quietly placed inside, and the light green and simple jade pendant carved with a Luan Feng on it, warm and smooth.
Due to his young master's relationship, after following him, Robert gradually fell in love with the ancient culture of China. Therefore, Robert was also very happy for such a quaint jade pendant, and sincerely thanked Situ Hao again.
Situ Hao waved his hand again and again, and the two of them talked enthusiastically again, and inadvertently, Situ Hao asked Robert seemingly casually, "Robert, I just saw you frowning, what happened?" β
Hearing Situ Hao mention this matter, Robert thought of Lu Xiao's disgusting image again, and didn't say anything, but looked in Lu Xiao's direction.
Situ Hao just followed Robert's gaze, and then turned to Robert, his eyes were also full of disgust, "Robert, how can such a person appear at such an important banquet, it's really rude." β
Rob nodded in agreement with Situ Hao's words, but said to him in a helpless tone, "After all, it's a guest." β
"Of course, Robert's heart is big-hearted." Situ Hao praised at the right time, "By the way, I heard that it's not only your name Young Master who is here today, but also one of his cousins, right?" β
When Robert heard Situ Hao's question, he nodded subconsciously, but at this time, a question suddenly came to mind in his mind.
The young master of his own family is one of the oldest families in Europe, the O'Brien family, and the first heir of the younger generation. And the one who came with the young master today is also qualified to inherit everything from the O'Brien family, of course, his order is still relatively low.
But if there is any problem at the young master's birthday banquet today, even if it is some inconsequential small flaws, this is an insult to the young master, and even he himself is gloomy.
Thinking of this, Robert gave Situ Hao an apologetic look, and walked straight in the direction of Lu Xiao.
Situ Hao, who was left behind, showed a cold smile.
Robert can be said to be the representative of the protagonist of today's banquet, and his every move involves the eyes of countless people.
His move made many people's eyes notice this. And when everyone saw Robert walking straight to the pair that was very strange at today's dinner, everyone's eyes revealed curiosity.
Only Lin Shuang, when he saw Robert walking straight towards Lu Xiao, and a few steps behind him was still following Situ Hao, his face changed slightly. Gritting his silver teeth, he also walked towards Lu Xiao from another direction.
At this time, Lu Xiao was talking to Yin Shenfu with his teeth and claws, and the faces of both of them showed happy smiles.
And at this time, Robert walked directly in front of Lu Xiao, saluted slightly, was old-fashioned and serious, and said simply and directly, "Sir, this place is not suitable for you, please leave." β
The man's voice fell, and the guests who were relatively close to some good things felt that the temperature here seemed to drop a little.
What is it?
Banish!
It's an eviction!
This is an unjustified expulsion!
Listening to the man's words, Lu Xiao looked puzzled. I just ate more of you, don't be so stingy!
It's just that before he could ask the reason, Lin Shuang, who had just come over, took the initiative to take Robert's words and let out her heavenly voice with a cold air for thousands of years, "Mr. Robert, why do you want to expel my partner?" β
After she finished speaking, she turned her head and glared at Lu Xiao fiercely.
Lu Xiao, who was watching, was speechless for a while, who did I provoke.
Lin Shuang's anger was not without reason.
Today's banquet, more than 90% of the people in the entire upper circle of Jingcheng have arrived here, if her nominal fiancΓ© Lu Xiao is expelled from tonight's banquet without explanation, then where is the reputation of the Lin Group, and where is her own reputation.
As for Lu Xiao's reputation...... Belch! He doesn't seem to have this for the time being.
But what Lin Shuang didn't notice was that this was the first time she had admitted Lu Xiao and her identity in public. As for whether it was Lin Shuang's slip of the tongue or deliberate, others could only make up for it.
Robert glanced at Lin Shuang, for this No. 1 commercial queen of Jingcheng, Robert had already heard of it when he was making a difference before coming to Jingcheng. When I saw it today, Robert's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise like most other men, and he was distracted for a few seconds.
And what he didn't expect was that the disgusting man in front of him turned out to be the legendary Lu Xiao.
However, the words of expelling Lu Xiao have already been spoken, and after following the young master, he will not change his mind as he has always been arrogant.
"It turned out to be Ms. Lin Shuang, the commercial queen of Jingcheng, but with all due respect, this male companion of yours...... Some of them are too unruly, the young master won't like such a person to come to his 20th birthday party! So, this gentleman asks you to leave. β
Robert's reason is in line with the character of the protagonist of tonight's banquet, and it makes sense.
But Situ Hao, who is standing behind Robert, why are you smiling so much?
Looking at Situ Hao's appearance, Lin Shuang's first reaction was what Situ Hao said to Robert, his cold eyes swept over Situ Hao lightly, and he suddenly shuddered when he saw it. Then Lin Shuang still tried to persuade Robert, "Mr. Robert, you see...... Is there any misunderstanding between them? β
This time, Robert ignored Lin Shuang at all, and kept looking at Lu Xiao with burning eyes.
On the contrary, Situ Hao behind him sneered, and actually picked up his wine glass to Lin Shuang, and drank a sip of red wine in the glass like a demonstration, full of victors.
"Mr. Lin, if you can let me enter and exit the ninth floor of the Lin Group Building at will...... How about I help you persuade my good friend Robert? β
As soon as Situ Hao's words fell, many male celebrities in Jingcheng thought of 'shamelessness' in their hearts! β
Lin's Garden, that is a place where a man doesn't want to go up, but he didn't expect Situ Hao to use the expulsion of Lu Xiao to blackmail Lin Shuang.
Listening to Situ Hao's words, Lin Shuang's eyes became even colder when he looked at him.
And at this time, Lu Xiao, who had been sitting in the chair, finally moved.
Although I am lazy, I am also a pure man, so I can't let a woman shelter me from the wind and rain!
Everyone saw him stand up, look at Robert with a playful expression, and ask casually, "Are you sure?" β
"Nonsense! Mr. Robert invited you out to be polite to you, who do you think you are? At this time, Robert had not yet answered, but another abrupt voice came from the crowd.
Everyone subconsciously followed the prestige, and what they saw turned out to be a relatively strange person, obviously he was not in the Jingcheng circle.
But this person Lu Xiao knew, it was her classmate Wu Zhigang who wanted to buy a banquet place from Lin Shuang this afternoon.
It's just that I don't know where he went to get the quota after being rejected by Lin Shuang.
At this time, seeing Lin Shuang and Lu Xiao deflated, he jumped out and bit Lu Xiao without hesitation, adding fuel to the fire.
It's just that his actions are like a clown jumping off the beam, but for Lu Xiao, he didn't pay attention to it at all.
Hearing Wu Zhigang's words, Robert still looked at Lu Xiao indifferently, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
What is the occasion today, and how important is the business this time, and how much Lin Shuang paid for that invitation, although Lu Xiao didn't know the specific details of this, but looking at Lin Shuang's preparations for this today, he knew what this business meant to Lin Shuang.
If you leave, the hard work of the past few days will be in vain. And if Teng's Group is allowed to get this cooperation, then Lin's Group is in danger.
Therefore, Lu Xiao had no intention of leaving at all, he couldn't cause trouble to Lin Shuang because of himself.
Lu Xiao smiled faintly, just when he wanted to use his own means to solve this matter.
Lin Shuang, who was standing next to Lu Xiao, was the first to speak, only to see Lin Shuang looking at Robert coldly, and her voice as cold as ice came out of her mouth word by word, "Mr. Robert, you will be responsible for your words and deeds today!" β
Robert smiled disdainfully, not taking what Lin Shuang said seriously at all.
Then, Lin Shuang turned his head and said to Lu Xiao, "Let's go." β
A neat word, without the slightest drag.
Lin Shuang didn't know the importance of today's banquet, and she also made a lot of efforts to achieve it. But if she was asked to leave her companions behind, she would watch Lu Xiao be expelled. Lin Shuang can't do this.
Lin Shuang's performance made Lu Xiao slightly stunned, and just as he was about to make a move, he dispelled his intention to make a move. But looking at Lin Shuang's eyes, there was a trace of appreciation and tenderness.
Lu Xiao said softly, "Okay! Then he nodded to the unlucky ghost from hell who didn't even know his name, but the two of them were chatting happily, and walked over to Lin Shuang, ready to leave with him.
Looking at the appearance of the two, Situ Hao and Wu Zhigang were not happy, they just wanted to drive the annoying Lu Xiao away, but they didn't say that they would let Lin Shuang leave!
Teng Fei, who was among the guests, raised a slight arc at the corner of his mouth, as if he had thought of something happy.
And just when everyone thought that the expulsion of Lu Xiao at this banquet was about to end, from the gate of the banquet hall, two people, a man and a woman, happened to walk in.
