Chapter 22: The Dinner

"You say, I'm dressed like this, can Mr. Lu still recognize me?" Standing at the door of the banquet hall, Su Taotao suddenly froze, and his nervous hands didn't know what to do, so he could only hold his skirt tightly and have nothing to say to Lu Zhen.

Compared with Su Taotao's overwhelm, Lu Zhen's calm and relaxed spirit was particularly dazzling. But taking care of the mood of the female companion, Lu Zhen was still very patient to comfort Su Taotao, who was about to explode, and let her calm down for a while.

"You are so radiant today, and you are like two people in normal times, I don't think the eldest brother should recognize you, especially if he doesn't have a good impression of you. But that's okay, I'll introduce him to you in a moment, and he'll be sure to make a big difference in your impression. Seriously, when you came out just now, even I was amazed. ”

Su Taotao rarely bowed her head shyly under the praise of others, usually she heard others praise her the most is "eliminate violence and peace", "the road is uneven, draw a knife to help" and the like, it is the first time someone has praised her appearance. Although she knows that this is all the beauty of high-end cosmetics and clothing, but girls, no matter how thick their hearts are, they are very happy to hear someone praise their beauty. So Su Tao Tao Deng felt that the three hours of soaking in the beauty salon were still worth it.

"Then let's go." Learning from the appearance of a celebrity lady on TV, Su Taotao stepped on Lu Zhen's arm, stepped on small steps, tried to keep up with the rhythm, and walked into the banquet hall under his leadership.

"Tonight's banquet is a celebration banquet to celebrate a new project won by the Lu family, so most of the guests are the CEOs of some companies in the city that have a good relationship with the Lu family, as well as some peers. The dance party will not start until a while, and after meeting my brother, you go and eat something first, and don't faint from hunger for a while, it won't be beautiful.

"Uh-oh." Su Taotao has been highly nervous since he entered the door, while not forgetting to keep in mind Lu Zhen's instructions, always showing a reserved and elegant smile, and always beware of high heels. For a person like her, who wears sneakers as long as she goes out 365 days a year, the only difference between wearing high heels and stepping on stilts is the height. Fortunately, she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her balance is good, and her high heels are quite obedient until now.

But Su Taotao can't be used for two purposes, and it is not easy to maintain elegance up and down, so Lu Zhen's words only heard the two key words "my brother" and "eating", as for the dance party and others, she didn't hear it at all. If you want to know that she wants to dance in these shoes, it is estimated that Su Taotao has left Lu Zhen behind and now escaped.

Lu Zhen took Su Taotao to shuttle between the guests with fragrant clothes and temples, and occasionally stopped to say hello when he saw a good friend, Su Taotao felt that his face was not his own, and he was already smiling. I have to sigh once again that celebrities and noblewomen are not done by anyone, at least this kind of entertainment makes her a flat-headed person very awkward. But for the sake of Lu Qi, she had to give it a try anyway, at least to prove that he was not suitable for her, so that she could really let go.

"Brother, why are you here, let me find it easily." Su Taotao felt that they had all circled the hall for a full circle, and Lu Zhen finally found Lu Qi.

"As soon as you enter the hall, I'm on your left, but you don't see me." Lu Qi, who was holding a wine glass, was also very helpless, he had already drunk three glasses, this road idiot brother only saw him, and he knew that he should have stayed at the gate, but the left side of the door was still too far away.

"yes, maybe your clothes are inconspicuous, so I didn't notice. It's not me saying, it's not going to work now, you're always in a black suit, you really look like a bodyguard. Lu Zhen didn't care about his eldest brother's sarcasm about himself, anyway, in the battle of words, the eldest brother never won against him.

Lu Qi's eyes suddenly became dark, his younger brother had changed, the younger brother who was gentle and respectful in the past had now learned to tease him. Who did he learn this from, the servants in the Lu Mansion would not talk to him like this, the only possibility was the new "friend" he made. Hmph, don't let him grab that girl's handle again, otherwise he will let her disappear in front of Lu Zhen.

"Mr. Lu is good." Su Taotao's weak voice was inserted into the two brothers' "affectionate" gaze, pulling back the thoughts of the two.

It's not that Su Taotao doesn't have the eyesight, but she found that someone seemed to want to come up and talk, but because the affectionate communication between the two brothers was not easy to interrupt, she had to look at her and smile awkwardly. Seeing that this benevolent brother also looked cautious, Su Taotao decided that it would be better for her to break the eyebrows of the two of them.

"Who is your female companion?" Or Lu Qi decided not to meet his younger brother first, as for his ideological problems, let's talk about it when I go home.

"Let me officially introduce to you, this is my female companion, Su Taotao. She's also an employee of Lu's, you've seen it before. ”

Lu Zhen smiled like a warm spring breeze, and Lu Qi's face suddenly fell to freezing. The brother next to him who wanted to talk to Lu Qi saw that the situation was not good, and he fled the scene very knowledgeable, leaving only Su Taotao as an audience, watching the Lu brothers' eye duel.

"Don't you have any other female companions, I remember that the daughter of Mr. Tenghui hinted at you two days ago." Lu Qi can be sure that Lu Zhen is now in a rebellious period, and if he is not allowed to do anything, he will do whatever he wants. Just now he wanted to find a chance to keep that Su Taotao away from him, but he didn't expect Lu Zhen to bring it to her directly. Hmph, don't think that you can fly on the branches and become a phoenix after putting on makeup and changing clothes, he has seen a lot of people who dig out their hearts and think of climbing dragons and phoenixes. With her little means, she can only deceive her stupid brother. So for Su Taotao's initiative to show goodwill, Lu Qi chose to turn a blind eye, and there is nothing to say about this kind of person.

"I only have a few encounters with her, how can we bring outsiders to the banquet hosted by our family. Tao Tao is my friend, no matter how suitable it is for a stranger. As if he was afraid that Su Taotao would think too much, Lu Zhen deliberately held her shoulder and gave her wordless encouragement.

In fact, Su Taotao had long expected that Lu Qi would not have a good face for her, probably because her previous psychological precautions were too good, so she was not as devastated as Lu Zhen thought. So the expressions and movements of the two people fell into Lu Qi's eyes, and they became "the scheming girl is cheeky and sticks to her younger brother, and the stupid brother is unaware and complacent", which made Lu Qi's mood worse.

"It's not too early, Tao Tao, you go eat something first, and I'll look for you later." Seeing that the eldest brother's face was getting worse and worse, Lu Zhen was afraid that if he said something that would hurt Tao Tao's self-esteem for a while, it would not end well. It's better for him to persuade his eldest brother first and let Tao Tao leave for a while.

Su Taotao immediately understood what Lu Zhen meant, and fled from the two brothers. To be honest, although he is not in the company, Lu Qi still subconsciously wants to bow his head and apologize when he sees this, is this the consciousness and sadness of being an employee. Before Su Taotao could come up with an answer to this question, he was attracted by the dazzling array of exquisite delicacies on the long table. Sure enough, for foodies, there is nothing that cannot be solved with a good meal.
