Chapter 108: The Xia Family's Birthday Banquet (1)
"By the way, I met Bai Jingyu today." Xiao Ruo thought of Bai Jingyu and asked Li Muyun, "And that financial club, do you know what's going on?"
"Financial clubs?" Li Muyun's face was strange, "There should be something in this regard in the Bai Jingyu information I gave you." β
"Really? How come I don't remember?" Xiao Ruo thought about it carefully for a while, and then asked hesitantly, "Are you talking about the Summit Club?"
Li Muyun nodded: "Yes, the financial club is called internally, and the outside is called the Summit Club." You met Bai Jingyu from Deng Gong?"
Seeing Xiao Ruo nodding, Li Muyun showed an expression that was really like this: "Then you should also understand why I made Bai Jingyu's information so detailed, right?"
The Financial Club, commonly known as the Summit Club, is a gathering place for the top group of people in Huaxia's financial sector. controls a huge amount of funds, and as for the source of funds, it is estimated that only its chairman, that is, Bai Jingyu, can know exactly.
Internally, the financial club plays a role in balancing and stabilizing the domestic still fragile financial market, and externally, it is investment, and its cooperation object is the chamber of commerce headed by the four major families where Li Xiaoning belongs.
"Li Xiaoning?" Hearing this name, Xiao Ruo couldn't help frowning, and glanced at Li Muyun, "Cousin said that she is not your own sister, it turns out that she is from the four major families, no wonder your family loves her so much." β
"Ruoruo, Xiao Ning has been spoiled by her family since she was a child, I will tell her, you don't have to pay attention to her." Li Muyun smiled bitterly, carefully persuaded, and hurriedly turned the topic back to the financial club, "The domestic economy is developing rapidly, and the role of financial club regulation is gradually decreasing, but no one dares to underestimate it." Even if the above divestment in the future, the club is still a big force. Every member of the club is a top talent, even if they don't come from a good background. But now it's also a big guy, and generally no one messes with it. β
"I also understand this, like Rothschild, who can ignore them?" Xiao Ruo first glanced at Li Muyun, but when he heard it, he remembered the financial giant for no reason. Then he suddenly remembered something and asked, "I see the information you gave me, it's very detailed." You wouldn't be a member there, would you?"
Li Muyun shook his head: "That's not it, it's just that there will be someone in Xingchen, and it is still one of the high-level people, so I can know a lot of news."
"Oh?" Xiao Ruo stared at him with interest, "Your Star Society is really everywhere." That person must be very good at business, have I ever seen one?"
"Tenchi went to Southeast Asia a few days ago and hasn't come back yet. When he comes back, I'll introduce you to you, and he admires you. Li Muyun said with a smile.
"Worship me?" Xiao Ruo's face was strange. She couldn't help but think of Angelo's fiancΓ©e, and of Sophie's terribleness. She couldn't help but shudder.
"What's wrong? Is it cold? Are you sick?" Seeing that she didn't look right, Li Muyun couldn't help but put his hand on her forehead, and carefully felt Fang withdrew his hand, "Well, it's okay." Ruoruo, you are also tired today, rest early. β
After speaking, he hugged Xiao Ruo gently. Li Muyun got up and walked to his room.
When passing by Anthony, he felt an almost substantial gaze, and Li Muyun looked at it suspiciously. I saw Anthony bend the corners of his mouth at him, although there was no smile in his eyes.
Li Muyun was very strange, he knew that Anthony didn't have a good impression of him, but this Mr. housekeeper had been acting very well before, and he couldn't find fault with him at all. But now, as long as Anthony is present, he can always feel a hateful gaze on his back, which makes him very unhappy.
He hasn't done anything lately, has he? Li Muyun was puzzled, shook his head slightly, and didn't care about him, Anthony was loyal to Xiao Ruo, and he didn't care about the rest. He has a lot of rivals in love, and each of them will definitely not be friendly to him, if he cares about this, he is not busy to death?
Bai Ze always had a lazy evil smile on his face, and he saw the performance of Anthony and Li Muyun in his eyes, and secretly said that it was interesting in his heart. For Anthony, he always felt that this housekeeper had some secrets, even if Xiao Ruo said that there was a feeling between them, he didn't fully trust this person.
Xiao Ruo didn't care about the undercurrent between several men, reached out and took out the information given by Deng Gong from the space, sat on the sofa and looked at it.
The information was not long, Xiao Ruo quickly read it, threw everything on the table, leaned on the back of the sofa and laughed silently, with a bit of sarcasm and self-deprecation.
It's very simple, it's just two families with feuds, one of them doesn't like the other, and it's just a little trouble for the other party.
When did the second room of the Li family and the second room of the Xiao family come to an end, and what kind of grievances were formed, it is estimated that many people can't tell it now. It's just that the grudge has been passed down like this, and until now, it seems like it has been there for thousands of years, right?
Between families, it's just so boring. Xiao Ruo had no sorrow or joy in his heart, and he didn't even have the desire to be angry. In the whole thing, she's just a cannon fodder character. The reason why many people value this and don't make things clear to her is just because she is now strong and afraid of problems.
At the level of the family, what is the fate of a girl?
If she is not reborn, even if she is found by the Xiao family in the future, she will not be able to escape the fate of the family's tools, and the Xiao family will definitely not start a war with the Li family because of her, in short, it is not worth it.
In fact, without that incident, there would be no current self, right? The smile on Xiao Ruo's lips grew cold, should I "repay" it?
The Xiao family has scruples, she doesn't, the Li family is just a little more troublesome. What's more, it's just a second room, and she's even more stress-free. As for the Li family, as long as they know their strength, I am afraid that it is possible for them to directly drag the person responsible for the matter back then directly in front of them and let them deal with it themselves.
Family face? The Li family is such an old family, wouldn't it be possible to abandon the car and protect the handsome? Besides, who wouldn't say high-sounding words?
However, Xiao Ruo would not give them this opportunity. The sin of connivance is also very serious.
Closing his eyes, he seemed to remember something happy, Xiao Ruo's body gradually relaxed, and his smile seemed very relaxed. It's just that in her mind, she keeps thinking about something......
Three days later, on the day of the Xia family's birthday banquet.
"Cousin Shide, we've packed up, let's get over." Xiao Ruo was wearing a beige trench coat with a color-blocked dress inside. From the open placket, you can see the collar with broken flowers, and the high heels of the same color as the trench coat are on the feet, which looks very fashionable.
Yang Shide nodded, glared fiercely at Li Muyun beside Xiao Ruo, and then glanced at Xiao Qin and Dou Rui beside him proudly, and said to Xiao Ruo happily: "Well, let's go, it's not good to keep grandpa waiting for a long time." That's right. Arthur, aren't they going?"
"No, they are too disobedient, I just attended the birthday banquet, I don't want them to make anything happen and clean up the mess." Xiao Ruo explained. Thinking of the conditions that I promised a few lucky guys the day before, my voice was still a little muffled.
Li Muyun, who was next to her, took her hand funny and comforted: "Okay, okay, the children also want to go out to play, they are still young, and they are suffocated during this time." Take them out to have fun. β
"It's not all you, it's always towards Alice. It's not like you don't know how troublesome your daughter is?" Xiao Ruo pinched his fingers and reappeared, and he also gave a few white eyes.
Li Muyun smiled helplessly and let her do it.
"Ruoruo, you really didn't go with us?" Xiao Qin was still unwilling to think about it, and walked over with Dou Rui and asked.
"Forget it, some people don't like to see me, and I don't want to be bored." Xiao Ruo said lightly.
"Ruo Ruo ......" Xiao Qin wanted to say something more. But he was pulled by Dou Rui, and when he saw his wife shaking her head at him, he sighed helplessly. Didn't say it again.
He knew that Xiao Ruo was angry about the matter of his second grandfather Xiao Yongjiang, but he was a junior and was not qualified to speak, so he paused before saying, "That'...... See you at our birthday party. β
Xiao Ruo knew Xiao Qin's hardships, and his attitude towards him was not too cold, but said, "Okay, the eldest brother and sister-in-law should go over first."
Xiao Qin and Dou Rui said goodbye to a few people and left. Xiao Ruo and Li Muyun, taking Anthony and Bai Ze, got into the car, and followed Yang Shide to the manor on the outskirts of the Xia family.
When they arrived at the place, someone from the Xia family led the car to the parking position, and several people got out of the car and found a place at the door, waiting for Yang Xinghong and their arrival.
"Ruoruo, sit for a while, it's very tiring to wear these shoes." Li Muyun felt that Xiao Ruo was working hard, and began to look left and right, trying to find a place for her to sit.
"No, I'm not that fragile yet." Xiao Ruo had already put a thin layer of air under her feet, so she didn't have to work hard at all now, and of course she didn't care about Li Muyun's proposal.
"Then you can rely on me, grandpa, they should be there soon." Li Muyun gently put his arm around Xiao Ruo's shoulder and let her lean on his shoulder.
"Hmm." Xiao Ruo replied lightly, feeling soft in his heart, and there was a very warm feeling.
However, she quickly reacted, raised her head and glared at Li: "That's my grandfather!" Don't scream!"
Li Muyun smiled, and was about to laugh a few more words, when he saw two people walking towards him, and when he looked closely, he realized that it was Li Xiaoning, beside her...... Is it Li Yashu?
"Second brother......" Li Xiaoning saw Li Muyun, and her face immediately smiled, and when she saw Xiao Ruo next to him, her smile immediately disappeared, and she greeted her reluctantly, "Xiao Ruo...... Sister. β
Seeing Li Muyun smiling because of her "sister", the reluctance in Li Xiaoning's heart also dissipated a lot. During this time, Li Muyun didn't go home much, even if she went back to meet, her attitude towards her was not as good as before, once she said anything about Xiao Ruo, she was summoned either to blame or to educate. It's been a long time since she's seen Li Muyun smile so happily at her.
"Hello." Xiao Ruo also smiled at her slightly, although she was very dissatisfied with this woman, she would not embarrass Li Muyun at this time, it is better for women to solve the matter between women themselves.
"This is Xiao Ruoxiu, right? I saw you last time at the party, and Guoqiang didn't introduce me, which makes me regret. β
After saying hello to Li Xiaoning, Xiao Ruo heard the woman next to her say to herself happily.
