Chapter 357: The Edge Emerges
It's so abnormal, it's so unlike him, Eli patted his face to calm himself down.
Eli took a deep breath, recalled the scene in the clothing store, and thought: It must be because I haven't seen Lu Ling in a dress, so I think it looks good, yes, it must be like this.
Eli made excuses that he thought were reasonable to explain his abnormality, and slowly calmed himself down.
The day of the banquet is coming in a blink of an eye.
Charles and Lu Ran had already changed their clothes and were waiting in the living room, and after a while, Eli also changed his clothes and went downstairs, leaving Lu Ling uncome.
"Why hasn't Ling'er come down yet?" Lu Ran looked upstairs, but there was still no Lu Ling.
"It's okay, we'll just wait, it's a waste of time for women to dress up." Charles said with a smile, and after speaking, Charles glanced at Eli, who lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.
The three of them waited for a while, and finally the sound of the door closing from upstairs was heard.
Lu Ling's figure slowly appeared at the entrance of the building, wearing a blue bandeau dress and exquisite makeup, Lu Ling at this time was even more beautiful than when she tried on the dress that day.
Charles couldn't help but praise: "Lu Ling is really a beautiful embryo." ”
Lu Ran smiled and didn't speak, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
After two days of mental preparation, Eli saw Lu Ling at this time, and his heart did not have much waves.
This made him feel that his thoughts at that time were really right, but it was only because he had never seen Lu Ling wear a dress, so he was so abnormal that day.
Charles gestured to Eli, who immediately stepped forward and bent his arm, and Lu Ling reached out to hold it.
The four of them drove to the banquet venue.
This banquet Byron is very luxurious, the venue is set in the largest banquet hall in country A, the roof is transparent, people in the banquet hall can see the night sky when they look up, and the starlight in the sky is used to accompany this banquet.
The wine in the banquet is the most famous red wine and champagne in country A, and there are also old Raphael and other precious wines, and the dishes and delicacies in it are all from famous shops.
Cars stopped at the entrance of the hall one after another, and the patriarchs of other families came down one after another.
Whether it is a family that is not pleasing to the eye in the open and in secret, they all greet each other with a smile at this time.
They all have only one purpose here, to inquire about the situation of the Musen family, and since the purpose is the same, the usual grievances will be put aside for a short time.
Charles and the others came to the door of the banquet hall, and after a slight glance, they could see the luxury of the scale.
Charles couldn't help but be speechless: "This banquet held by Byron is very luxurious, and Mulland is not like the patriarch's handiwork compared to him." ”
Eli was also shocked by the banquet in front of him, Lu Ling and Lu Ran didn't react, the four of them walked to the door, handed over the invitation, and entered the banquet hall.
There were a lot of people coming to this banquet, and after a cursory look at Charles and Eli, they found more than two dozen patriarchs of relatively large families, and even more of the other smaller families.
After Lu Ling entered the banquet hall, he saw Byron talking to the other family patriarchs not far away.
He is really the most dazzling existence no matter where he is.
Byron was dressed in a silver-gray suit, and his figure was straight, and his hair was combed back into a large back, revealing a smooth forehead and eyebrows.
Unlike his previous cold and indifferent expression, Byron was smiling and nodding to others.
Perhaps it was because Lu Ling's eyes were too hot and familiar, and Byron suddenly turned his head to look at them, looking at each other.
Lu Ling immediately withdrew her gaze and looked away.
Charles also saw Byron at this time, and Byron nodded at him, took two glasses of champagne from the waiter's tray, and walked over.
handed a glass of champagne to Charles, and said with a polite smile: "Patriarch Charles, I have admired the name for a long time." ”
Charles took the champagne, clinked glasses with Byron, and said with a smile: "Where, where, Byron, you are young and promising, and you have taken over the management of the Mussen family so well." ”
The two talked back and forth, Lu Ling felt very bored, and was about to pull Eli aside, but Charles introduced them to Byron.
"This is my son Eli and future daughter-in-law Lu Ling, this is Lu Ling's father Lu Ran, Mr. Lu." When Byron heard his daughter-in-law, the indifference in his eyes flashed and was imperceptible.
Byron raised his glass to Eli and nodded to Luling.
Then he said to Charles, "Whatever you please, I'll go and entertain the others first." ”
"Okay, you go get busy." With that, Byron beckoned the others to go.
After Byron left, another patriarch from another family came to talk to Charles, and Eli pulled Deer Ling aside.
"This banquet is really boring." Lu Ling sat on the sofa and picked up a glass of red wine and shook it, staring at the dark red liquid in the glass, and said to Eli.
Eli smiled, noncommittal, and sat down with Lu Ling to take a sip of red wine.
"Eli, you're quite tired of doing business, obviously you don't like each other, but you still have to say hello with a smile," Lu Ling's mouth curved.
Eli glanced at Byron, who was greeting the others, and said, "You have to do everything like this, as long as you don't tear your face." ”
Before the two could say a few words, someone who recognized Eli came over to say hello, Eli picked up the wine glass and whispered to Lu Ling, "I'll go over first, you should be careful yourself." ”
Lu Ling nodded and said, "Okay." ”
The person who came to greet Eli saw Eli and Lu Ling bowing their heads and exchanging ears, and couldn't help but tease: "Eli, I didn't expect you to have today, your girlfriend is very beautiful." ”
When Lu Ling heard the latter sentence, she raised her glass and smiled and said to the man, "Thank you for the compliment." ”
Eli got up and gave the man a roll of his eyes, ignoring his sly smile, and walked to the small team next to him, leaving Lu Ling alone on the sofa and watching them talk and laugh one by one.
Lu Ling thought to herself: It's really boring.
Eli, who was talking to others, had actually been paying attention to Lu Ling's situation, and found that except for some people who knew her identity who came to say hello to her, Byron hadn't spoken to Lu Ling at all, and hadn't looked here.
Perhaps, Lu Ling really didn't know.
Eli dispelled his suspicions about Lu Ling.
Halfway through the banquet, Lu Ling didn't want to pay attention to Byron, but her eyes drifted to him uncontrollably.
Byron was talking to the patriarch of a big family about future cooperation at this time, but suddenly a middle-aged man came in with a wine, and said to the patriarch of the big family with a smile: "Byron is very powerful, otherwise he would not be able to take over the Mussen family." ”
This meant something, and the patriarch of the big family smiled politely and said to Byron: "We will talk about the cooperation in detail another day, and I will go to the bathroom first." ”
"Okay, I'll get back in touch then." Byron nodded and made a gesture of please.
After the patriarch of the big family left, Byron said to the middle-aged man: "You are also a member of the Musen family, what good can you do if you disrupt cooperation like this?" ”
The middle-aged man smiled sarcastically: "I didn't say anything, how did you get to this position, don't you count it in your heart?" ”
Byron took a sip of the wine in his hand, and his expression remained unchanged: "Of course I know how to get here, and I also know that you also want this position." ”
The middle-aged man's face changed when he said this, and after snorting coldly, he turned around and left.
The corners of Byron's mouth were hooked, the meaning in his eyes was unclear, and after the middle-aged man left, Byron did not continue to greet others, and sat on the sofa and sipped the good wine at the banquet.
A waiter saw Byron sitting alone on the couch, nodded to the other waiters, and then walked towards Byron with a tray, and the other waiters slowly approached Byron.
Byron's eyes were half-closed, and he glanced at the waiter who was approaching him, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
A few steps away from Byron, the waiters threw away the trays, and the short knives at the bottom of the plate came out and stabbed at Byron.
Byron's eyes were sharp, the wine glass in his hand was placed steadily, and he raised his leg and kicked it, hitting a waiter in the chest, and the waiter was kicked backwards, knocking down the wine glass tower that was placed, and shattering to the ground.
The noise was too loud, causing panic at the banquet.
The other waiters looked at each other, and one by one they stabbed at Byron.
"Just clean up the portal today." Byron said coldly.
One of the waiters sneered, "Let's see who cleans up whom." ”
Byron was alone against a dozen people, and it was obvious that these people had been specially recruited to deal with him.
Byron was also unambiguous, his tricks were ruthless, and more than a dozen people fell several at once.
Byron was beaten in the middle, and a waiter took advantage of the fact that he was beaten by others and found an opportunity to stab Byron.
Lu Ling had just arrived at Byron's side when he saw this scene and shouted, "Be careful! ”
Byron turned his head and kicked the man, snatching a knife from the other's hand and stabbing him in the chest.
At this time, the bodyguards outside the banquet hall also came in, and the group surrounded the assassinated waiters.
Byron shouted: "You guys don't let them run, I'll deal with these people myself!" ”
When the bodyguards heard Byron's order, they stood still and pulled Lu Ling behind them, and they remembered that Byron had said that nothing could happen to this young lady.
Lu Ling understood his intentions and retreated silently.
The sound of the fight faded away, Byron's silver-gray suit was stained with blood, and the corpse of the waiter he had just assassinated lay at his feet.
Byron took the towel from the bodyguard, wiped his hands, and ordered, "Clean up the scene." ”
"Yes."
Byron walked out of the dozen or so assassins intact, which made the other families who had despised him suddenly lose their thoughts of despising him.
Byron smiled apologetically at the people in the banquet hall: "Sorry to disturb everyone's interest, but fortunately they only came at me and didn't hurt you." ”
As soon as these words came out, all kinds of voices sounded in the banquet hall saying that it didn't matter.
Byron smiled with satisfaction, and after the bodyguards cleaned up, the banquet continued.
But there has been a noticeable increase in the number of people who are now enthusiastic about Byron since it first started.
After the banquet, Charles, after the turmoil just now, didn't know what he thought, and asked Eli and Lu Ling to go back in a car, and he and Lu Ran took a car.
Eli and Lu Ling sat in the car, and Lu Ling recalled the fight just now, and she didn't know what it was like.
"I don't even know him anymore." Lu Ling has a complicated heart.
