Chapter Thirty-Four: A Critical Strike from the Family Feast
Gu Xiaoqi was the only one who took the makeup photos that day, and Ji Ruyu said that the male number one Qi Yuan had no schedule, and the female number one invited the actress Yu Manchun, who is also a legend in the circle.
But these are not Xiaoqi's related things, and all she thinks about now is tomorrow night's family dinner.
In her previous life, the relationship between her and Mu Liancheng had always been like water and fire, so she had no chance to participate in such a banquet at all.
She didn't know anything about the relatives of the Mu family, and the only thing she was familiar with might be Mu Shilian and the second uncle Mu who was out of tune.
But no matter how anxious Xiaoqi is, the time should have come.
Changing into Givenchy's latest evening dress of the season, and spending another three hours styling, Gu Xiaoqi was led to the Mu Mansion like a mascot.
Today, the Mu family's old mansion is particularly lively, and the open space in front of the house is full of all kinds of luxury cars, from Rolls-Royce Bugatti to Paramela, and there are almost no Mercedes Benz and BMW.
And Xiaoqi found that such a car was parked very carefully, for example, although Mu Liancheng arrived relatively late, the first position in the first row was still reserved for him.
Taking a deep breath and holding Mu Liancheng's arm, Gu Xiaoqi said as if he was on the battlefield: "Let's go!" ”
"Xiaoqi." Mu Liancheng sighed helplessly, "The Mu family is not the Longtan Tiger's Den, even if it is, I am the most powerful one, your expression doesn't need to be like this...... Death is like home. ”
Xiaoqi's face turned red without a trace, and she didn't want to admit that she was actually worried about embarrassing Mu Liancheng.
In the final analysis, the sum of the two lives has almost zero social experience.
"Ninth Master, I'm nervous." Xiaoqi honestly said what he thought in his heart.
Mu Liancheng touched the top of the girl's hair lovingly, and said domineeringly: "Xiaoqi, don't worry about other people, you just need to look at me." ”
Yes, how did she forget that the person standing next to her was Mu Liancheng!
The man gave Xiaoqi a huge amount of confidence, and she strode in with her chest straight.
Sure enough, as soon as Mu Liancheng and Gu Xiaoqi arrived, everyone's eyes converged on the door.
Xiaoqi looked up with a smile on his face, his eyes were gentle and revealed a trace of tenacity, without a little stage fright.
Invisibly, the Mu family took a look at it.
They had long heard that Mu Liancheng had found a young girlfriend, and he was very attentive.
For the wife of the future head of the Mu family, in the entire Rongcheng, I don't know how many people are staring at this position, but now they are being taken advantage of by a stinky girl.
Mu Liancheng ignored the others, he took Xiaoqi and walked directly to Mu Shilian's side.
Today's Mu Shilian was dressed extraordinarily luxuriously, wearing a black evening dress that was properly conservative, she looked at the pair of beautiful people standing in front of her, and smiled like a flower.
"Our family is so beautiful." The intimacy in Mu Shilian's words made others jealous.
The ladies around Mu Shilian flattered and praised.
"This is the girlfriend of the ninth master, she looks so good, she even likes it when I look at it."
"Yes, yes, standing together is like a golden boy and a girl, so it's a great match."
Gu Xiaoqi listened, his face was dyed red at the right time, and he looked very pitiful.
At this time, a girl in a pink princess dress walked over, she squeezed in front of people with a smile, and a pair of watery eyes fell on Mu Liancheng smartly.
"Brother Jiu, is this my future ninth sister-in-law?"
"Hmm." Mu Liancheng nodded coldly.
The girl didn't feel embarrassed, she said to Xiaoqi affectionately: "Sister-in-law Jiu, the first time you attend a banquet, it must be boring, I'll take you to meet the sisters!" ”
As he spoke, he wanted to pull Gu Xiaoqi's hand.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Mu Liancheng all of a sudden, "Don't bother, I'll just go." ”
Ignoring Mu Kexin anymore, Mu Liancheng took Gu Xiaoqi's hand and walked to the hall on the second floor.
"Cousin, Brother Jiu is like this...... It's not in order! Mu Kexin complained dissatisfiedly.
The smile on Mu Shilian's face faded, and she said indifferently: "In the Mu family, Mu Jiuye is the rule!" He respects the woman he loves and personally introduces people to his elders, what's wrong with that? ”
"But, he ......," Mu Kexin muttered unwillingly.
"That's it!" Mu Shilian's eyebrows raised impatiently, and she said solemnly: "Ke Xin, you don't have to worry about other people's affairs, think about your life's events!" ”
How could Mu Shilian not know what Mu Kexin had in mind, although her father Mu Zheng was just a righteous son, but from the day her surname Mu was born, it was absolutely impossible to become the mistress of the Mu family!
Having been bored, Mu Kexin returned to the balcony, where several young and beautiful girls were waiting.
"How's it going?" Dong Meiyue asked anxiously uncontrollably.
Mu Kexin's face was ugly, and she replied angrily: "What else, that one looks delicate and soft, but it's actually amazing, I didn't see how much baby Brother Jiu had!" ”
"Slut!" Yan Qian scolded angrily.
Their families are all in-laws with the Mu family, so they are eligible to participate in the family banquet.
Since the day Mu Liancheng took charge of the Mu family, all of them have been educated by their parents more than once, and they must find ways to marry Mu Liancheng, even if they can't be the main house, they can be a mistress and a junior, if they can give birth to a son and a half daughter, then the whole family will follow.
On weekdays, they are jealous of Mu Liancheng, but they don't expect Mu Liancheng to like women outside.
So the girls, who used to be rivals in love, are now united and have decided to be unanimous to the outside world.
"What do we do now?" Dong Meiyue asked hatefully.
"Since the toad wants to eat swan meat, then we'll break her toad legs!" Liu Ruoxue, who had been standing in the corner without making a sound, walked out, she shook the glass full of crimson red wine, and a grim smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"If you have a way, just say it!" Mu Kexin knew that this Liu Ruoxue looked extremely innocent, but in fact, there were so many ways to stumble people.
"Yes, Ruoxue, say it quickly!" Dong Meiyue also urged.
"Huh." Liu Ruoxue sneered, with a knife in her eyebrows, "The Mu family can't tolerate a hostess who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it." ”
"That's right!" Yan Qian clapped her palms, "When it comes to Wenxiu's link, that Xiaoqi will definitely show his appearance." ”
The family banquet is held once a year, but it is not interesting to eat and drink every time, so the previous head of the family came up with a solution.
Wenxiu is a fixed program of the Mu family's family banquet, which is divided into two parts: men and women.
The man's side must be related to business, everyone present can propose their own projects, and finally the high-level leaders select the three with the most potential for investment, which is a good opportunity for the younger generation of the Mu family.
On the women's side, they are more about performing talents, hoping to show themselves so as to find a good in-law.
That's right, Wenxiu is also a large-scale blind date scene.
Of course, as a woman, she can also participate in the project selection, Mu Shilian won the double first place in Wenxiu back then, and thus rose rapidly in the Mu family and has come to this day.
Gu Xiaoqi, who was smiling stiffly upstairs, didn't know that there was such a thing.
She obediently followed Mu Liancheng's side, dutifully making a mascot, and struggling to remember the face.
"Xiaoqi, this is the third uncle." Mu Liancheng introduced softly.
"Hello third uncle, just call me Xiaoqi." Gu Xiaoqi continued to smile.
After turning around, seeing no less than ten elders, Gu Xiaoqi hid in the corner and said lazily: "Ninth Master, you have so many relatives. ”
"Xiaoqi, is this disgusting me?"
"Nope! How can it be! It's too late for me to envy! Gu Xiaoqi waved his hand again and again.
The Mu family has a big business, with hundreds of people up and down, although there may be frequent filth inside, but the children who are productive account for the vast majority.
If there were no Mu family members who had done their best for the family, no matter how powerful Mu Liancheng was, he would have no skills!
Unlike her, alone.
At this moment, Gu Xiaoqi was really envious of Mu Liancheng, but soon, she was slapped in the face! Big family or something, it's not good at all!
Downstairs, Gu Xiaoqi found that everyone had gathered at the edge of the hall, and there was a large space in the middle.
"Ninth Master, what is this going to do?" Xiaoqi asked curiously.
Mu Liancheng replied mysteriously, "You'll know later." ”
Five minutes later, a woman in a white gauze skirt walked to the middle of the venue, she bent down slightly, "My name is Dong Meiyue, and I will bring you a dance "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" below. ”
The dance music is beautiful, the dance posture is graceful, the woman's slender and soft waist bends an amazing arc, and a little red plum in the center of the eyebrows blooms, like a fairy in a flower.
Gu Xiaoqi looked at the dance in amazement, and she asked in a puzzled whisper, "Ninth Master, is there any entertainment at this banquet?" ”
"This is Wenxiu!" Mu Liancheng lowered his voice and explained to Gu Xiaoqi seriously.
Xiaoqi nodded again and again after listening, no wonder the Mu family has always occupied the top of the Rongcheng family, looking at the consciousness of others.
At the end of the song, Dong Meiyue ended the dance with a volley leap.
Gu Xiaoqi applauded happily, and she didn't know if it was her illusion, she always felt that Dong Meiyue had been looking in her direction.
After that, a few more girls performed on the stage, dancing, piano, guitar, flute, and some musical instruments Gu Xiaoqi had never even heard of it.
She watched the girls on the field change more than a dozen dance postures, and her mouth opened slightly, "Ninth Master, what did these girls in your family eat to grow up?" ”
Mu Liancheng has watched it for decades and is used to it, he teased: "These are relatively common, and last year there were people who performed chest crushing boulders!" ”
Gu Xiaoqi looked shocked, "Are you serious? ”
"Of course...... It's fake! Mu Liancheng couldn't help but scratch Gu Xiaoqi's little nose.
The two unscrupulously showed their affection, which angered the Mu family sisters not far away.
Dong Meiyue's temper was the hottest, and she shouted directly: "Miss Gu, it's the first time you participated in Wenxiu, I don't know what program you have prepared?" ”
Gu Xiaoqi: "......" Is there anything else about me here?
