Chapter 9: Attending the Dinner Party (Part I)
The dinner was set up on the star tower of Biluo's house, "the dangerous building is 100 feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hands." "The star tower of the Biluo family got its name from this.
However, although the star tower is high, it has only three floors, the first floor is the kitchen, the second floor is the banquet hall, and the third floor is the underground garage.
Luo Sheng and Ying Yi's car is now in the underground garage of the Star Tower.
There was no garage in the basement of the star tower, but now with the change of the times, the car is no longer a novel means of transportation, every time the head family has something important to hold a meeting, the people of each branch are trying their best to show off their wealth regardless of the distance, and those who can fly the plane will never take the car, and a group of people are very wealthy. The private planes in the sky landed one after another at Biluo's house, and the head of the family was worried that the people in the branch would be so rampant that sooner or later ordinary humans would be noticed, so he ordered that anyone who entered Biluo's house had to come by car, so a parking lot was built under the star tower.
Luo Sheng is now in a private garage dedicated to the head of the family, and there is no need to go outside to enter from the garage, and there is a special internal elevator in the garage that leads directly to the banquet hall on the top floor of the Star Tower.
"Master, it feels like time is running out, we need to hurry." The Hundred Songbird reminded Luo Sheng's shoulder.
"Got it, Kageichi, let's go." Luo Sheng said in a calm voice.
"Yes, young lady." Keichi replied.
Eichi and Luo Sheng walked to the internal elevator entrance of the garage, Eichi raised his hand and pressed the elevator button, and when the elevator went down, he seemed to remember something and turned back and took something out of the car.
Luo Sheng saw that after Ying Yi got out of the car, she was holding a light pink box in her hand, and the elevator door just opened at this time, so she entered the elevator without asking.
Luo Sheng looked at the signs in the elevator that kept going up, and he always felt a little awkward. She saw a girl's face reflected in the mirror in the elevator, both strange and familiar, this face had not seen an outsider for five years, she had been living with a mask for five years, and now she suddenly pulled off the mask, she always felt that her face was like no clothes, about to be seen by everyone.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" The songbird standing on Luo Sheng's shoulder felt Luo Sheng's strangeness.
"I don't feel well." Luo Sheng looked at the face in the mirror and said uncomfortably.
"Bai Ming should have thought of preparing a veil for his master. It's all bad to blame, master, if you don't feel well, don't go, we'll go back. The songbird said as he flew up from Luo Sheng's shoulder, about to peck the lower button with his beak.
"Wait-," Ying Yi, who was standing next to Luo Sheng, stopped the bird and hurriedly said: "Little Miss, this is prepared by the head of the family, let me hand it over to you, but I forgot about it just now because of the future housewife, and I didn't remember it until I got into the elevator, so I went to the car to find it and handed it to you." ”
"Prepared by the head of the house?"
What is it? Luo Sheng took the box handed by Ying Yi suspiciously, opened the lid, and saw a silver-white crystal crown placed inside, and a thin layer of tassel curtains woven with silver silk threads hanging under the crystal crown.
That's exactly what she needs most right now. Luo Sheng stretched out his slender fingers and stroked the crystal on the crown of his head, and a feeling of guilt hit him. The head of the family is so busy, he even thinks about these little things for her, but she has always rejected this place, and she feels a little sorry for him.
"Little Miss, do you need me to bring it for you?" Ying Yi saw that Luo Sheng had been looking at the box in a daze, and reminded.
"No, I can do it myself." Luo Sheng came back to her senses, she suppressed the apology in her heart, took the tiara out of the box, handed the empty box to Ying Yi, looked at the reflector in the elevator and quickly put the tiara on her head. The tassel curtains on the crown of the crystal head were of the right length, which did not obstruct Luo Sheng's line of sight, and just half covered Luo Sheng's face.
"It's still the head of the family who thinks thoughtfully." The Hundred Songbird said as he flew up from the shadow and stood on Luo Sheng's shoulder, "The eyes of the master of the family are really good, this crown is light and beautiful, and it matches the master very well." ”
"Well, it's pretty good." Luo Sheng looked at the small crown on his head flickering under the warm yellow light in the elevator, and suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.
There are many ways to repay someone, and if you feel guilty, you should lighten the burden on the head of the family. Thinking so, Luo Sheng no longer rejected this damn banquet, she pulled down the long hair tied with leather bands behind her, and pulled out a smile at the mirror of the elevator.
"Ding-", the indicator light turned on, and the elevator stopped at the top floor.
"Little Miss, we're here."
Ying Yi fiddled with the empty box handed over by Luo Sheng, put the box on the special shelf in the elevator, and after hearing the elevator door ring, he casually glanced at Luo Sheng and reminded.
I didn't want to look at it, but I scared Eichi a lot.
I saw my little lady standing quietly in the elevator at the moment, not saying a word, as if she had come out of a dark nightmare, and her whole body exuded an aura of dead silence.
In fact, since he saw the little lady this afternoon, Ying Yi felt that his little miss was very wrong. Keichi still remembers the little lady who was in the head family before, she was dark like a female ghost crawling out of hell, she rarely talked to people, and she wouldn't talk to him with a kind face like she saw him this afternoon, and she always spoke with an inquiring tone. In the few hours he saw Miss Xiao appear today, although Miss Xiao talked to him all the time on her face and didn't have too many expressions, he could feel that Miss Xiao's whole person was in a gentle state, even if just now because of the future mother's affairs, Miss Xiao's mood was subject to some fluctuations, and he never saw her show any other expression. So he had a delusion this afternoon, and even just now, whether this little lady was impersonated by others.
But at this moment, in the elevator, he saw the little lady with such a look, and he didn't doubt the authenticity of the little lady. He had followed the little lady for many years, and this feeling was all too familiar to him, and he knew that this was the same one five years ago, and the little young lady with a terrifying aura had returned.
"Gone, what's the fuss." The Hundred Birds stood on Luo Sheng's shoulder, calling out to Keichi, who didn't know what he was thinking.
"I didn't ...... Little Miss, please first. Eichi was interrupted from his thoughts, and he subconsciously bent down and made a gesture.
"Focus, don't let me notice you wandering a second time." Luo Sheng looked at Yingyi's lowered body and frowned invisibly.
……
Luo Sheng didn't wear a watch on her hand because she wanted to wear a dress, but there was a huge mechanical hammer pendulum clock inlaid on the wall facing the elevator door, and when Luo Sheng took the first step towards the elevator door, the big pendulum clock that was punctual sounded "knock-knock-knock".
Luo Sheng raised his eyes and looked over, eight o'clock.
The dull bell rang, and the people in the hall who were looking left and right to talk turned their heads to look at the elevator as if they had sensed something.
I saw a girl in a short white skirt standing at the entrance of the elevator, and a shadow guard in black was standing next to the girl.
Anyone who has seen the head of the Biluo family knows that there are four shadow guards under the head of the Biluo family, and the most powerful of them is the number one shadow one, and everyone knows the shadow one.
But when everyone looked at the girl next to the shadow, they felt a little strange and familiar. I saw that although the girl was not tall, she was only about one meter six or five, the girl's black hair hung down on her shoulders, and she was wearing a small crystal crown on her head, and a layer of tassel curtains made of silver silk thread hung down on the crown, covering her forehead to the nose, but what she saw below the tassel curtains was that she revealed a small half of her cheeks that were not covered, but the cheeks were as smooth and white as mutton fat seed jade, which made people want to take a few more looks, and under her cheeks was a slightly pale mouth, On closer inspection, there are still some small dry and cracked thin marks on her lips, she is wearing a white short dress, and on her right shoulder there is a bird with pure white feathers squinting and napping, and she is wearing a pair of low-heeled shoes of the same color at her feet.
However, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp that can be used as a family member in each branch, the eyes are vicious, and accurate recognition of people is the primary condition that they must have in this group of branch heads, they can clearly feel that although the girl in front of them is dressed ordinary, she exudes a kind of superior atmosphere all over her body, which is an atmosphere that cannot be covered by ordinary clothes. Although the girl half-covered her face with a veil, someone still saw the girl's half-hidden eyes under the veil, those eyes were full of the dead silence that saw through all the world, and there was no trace of brilliance in her dark black eyes, which looked as if they had been dug out of the dead man's eye sockets and had been forced into the girl's eye sockets.
If you can't detect such obvious traces, you are not worthy of being the head of a branch. The girl in front of her has such a look and aura, coupled with the white bird, anyone who has heard of it knows that this bird's position is second only to the Ancient Feather Clan's Holy King Colorful Bird, and now it ranks second in the divine bird, the Hundred Songbird.
Such a person, with such a bird perched on his body, has only one in the entire Biluo family and even in the entire other world, that is the sister of the head of the Biluo family, the little lady of the Biluo family - Biluo Sheng.
Therefore, when the family members of this group of branches who relied on their strong observation ability to live saw the girl standing, they were only slightly stunned for a few seconds before they all lowered their bodies, bent their waists to ninety degrees, and said in unison: "I wish the little lady a good body and Tai, and she will succeed in her technique." ”
This 90-degree bow is a unique gift to the little lady of the Biluo family, and it is also the most solemn ceremony except for the head of the Biluo family and the head of the house.
Luo Sheng looked at this group of people who bent over like her, the corners of her mouth hooked up a sneer, she looked around at the people present, and didn't see Shu Yao, not even her scheming father.
It's really weird, Luo Sheng looked at Ying Yi.
Ying Yi knew that Luo Sheng meant to ask him where the future housewife went, but Ying Yi was also very puzzled, I don't know where this future housewife went, today's dinner is a pre-wedding dinner specially held for the head of the family and the future housewife, the head of the family can't get out of it at this time, what is the matter with the future housemother's family, no one attended?
Luo Sheng didn't know anything about it, so he didn't continue to ask. She thought that Shu Yao would appear at the dinner party, and all she needed to do was to greet this group of branches as family members with Shu Yao, but this Shu Yao didn't know where she died, and thinking that she had to deal with these people by herself now, Luo Sheng was very irritable.
Thinking so, the row of people standing in front of Luo Sheng met her and bent their waists at ninety degrees to salute her, and she also had a good face, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be polite, find a seat to sit." ”
