Chapter 124: Meeting My Father-in-law (I)

"Even if you change your clothes, there are some things that you can't change." Halfway through the words, Lu Lingxue stubbornly pressed down the second half of the sentence, what can't be replaced is naturally quality, just imagine, in this banquet full of upper-class people, who would greet a lady with a whistle and talk nonsense to a woman with a fiancé.

In normal times, she would never think of this kind of words, but Fang Cai almost blurted out, maybe because she had just been blamed by her father, maybe she couldn't bear Chen Fang's teasing, Lu Lingxue tried to find a reason for herself, but the facts could not be changed, under this man's provocation, he often lost control and did something that he would never be able to do in ordinary times.

You must know that she is a woman with a fiancé, before she met Chen Fang, no one talked to her like this, even if there was no one around, she knew what the bottom line was.

"Can you please finish the rest of the sentence, what can't be replaced?" Chen Fang was reluctant to let go of the topic, since he had seen Lu Lingxue lying, he had found pleasure in his almost perfect fiancée.

"Nothing?" Lu Lingxue turned her head, the self-cultivation she had created in more than ten years was not easy to lose her temper.

"What are you talking about, is it quality? Let's analyze, which of us has a problem with quality, was taught a lesson by my father, and ran to the garden in anger? Or I who came to comfort you. Chen Fang analyzed according to reason.

"Who wants you to comfort, how do you know that I have been taught?" Lu Lingxue's expression was both surprised and puzzled, which could be described as extremely exciting.

"Do you need to ask? Looking at your appearance, you know that you have been wronged, this is the banquet of the Lu family, except for your father, who dares to give you anger? Besides, we also have a few brothers in our family, and every time they are repaired by the elders, they are similar to the way you are now. Chen Fang stared at his fiancée intently.

"I'm afraid the brother you're talking about is yourself, you must have been repaired often, so you have a lot of experience." Lu Lingxue has no way to deny it,

Subconsciously sneering at each other.

"As you guessed, you see, we have a lot in common. Speaking of being repaired, I have a lot of experience, and I will teach you two tricks at will, and you will be of infinite use. Seeing his fiancée on the road, Chen Fang couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, as long as he quarreled, he could make people angry, and anger could do something extraordinary, this is what Chen Fang was happy to see.

"Who has something in common with you, I'm being punished for the first time, and there will never be a next time, by the way, why are you here?" Lu Lingxue returned to normal in the blink of an eye, and someone's plan failed.

"I'm here for the feast." Chen Fang lit up his line.

"I'm afraid you're not on the guest invitation list." I don't know when, Lu Lingxue no longer rejects this presumptuous man, and more often wants to quarrel, but she always tries her best to restrain herself.

"I'm not the only one who has come in, the guards outside are easy to talk to, and if they have a good body, they will let them go." Chen Fang deliberately turned his head and looked, as if he was afraid of being pulled out, the guards of the Lu family could not be said to be strict, but it was inevitable that someone would come uninvited, and it would be unfriendly to refuse it, Lu Beiyan specially explained that those who should be released would be released, but Chen Fang did not get in, he was one of the few officially invited guests.

In other words, Chen Fang changed his previous casualness tonight, and he wore a formal dress to attend the dinner, even if Lu Lingxue had a lot of experience in fashion, he couldn't find the slightest flaw, and he admired this person's taste very much, it was obvious that he had put a lot of thought into buying this outfit.

"So, what are your intentions in trying so hard to mess up the banquet?" Lu Lingxue suddenly had the urge to laugh, at another time, on other occasions, she would never be alone with a strange man, but now, she not only did it, but also had a lot of meaningless, but fun-filled conversations, it is undeniable that her mood was much better than before, and Chen Fang's comfort effect was not bad.

"You also know, I'm a special student, I have no background at home, I don't want to stay in the academy to teach after graduation, I can only come out to do activities on my own, and it's best to make friends with powerful people and mix in the banquet, then again, can you introduce me to your father?" Chen Fang raised the gift box in Yang's hand, usually speaking, tonight is his sister's birthday, attending her banquet, it is enough to prepare one gift, but he brought four gifts, which is somewhat credible.

"Don't even think about it!" Lu Lingxue originally chatted with him about speculation, but she didn't expect him to make such a rude request, and he planned to bribe, so she immediately turned her face.

"I almost forgot, you just got taught by your father, and asking you to help introduce him will only be counterproductive, I'll go see him myself." Chen Fang also saw Lu Lingxue with an aggrieved face as soon as he entered the garden, of course, he came to comfort and comfort first, and now that he has retired, the main thing is always to be done.

"Wait, my father doesn't like gifts." Lu Lingxue didn't know why she wanted to remind her, and told this birdman her father's likes and dislikes.

"Thanks for reminding me, this gift is for you." Chen Fang picked a box with his hand, the gift was prepared by his mother, five copies, the first time they met, the father-in-law could not be lazy, the mother-in-law should not be treated equally, the fiancée could not be left out in the cold, and tonight's little birthday star, the future sister-in-law, can not be pulled down. It is said that Lu Lingxue also has an elder brother~~~~

With a lot of gift boxes, if it weren't for the decent clothes of Chen Fang, he would have to be regarded as a thief.

"I don't want it, give it to someone who is useful to you." Lu Lingxue blurted out, and then regretted it for the impulse, just refuse, why ridicule him? This man is making her fall.

Lu Lingxue is not the protagonist tonight, why should she accept a gift from a man, besides, this birdman brought a lot of gifts, obviously to bribe, this gift has long been spoiled, and it can't be called a gift at all.

"You'll be a good wife." Chen Fang felt something, and fled before she had a complete seizure. The fiancée is very good at living, and she knows how to save money for herself, which is much better than her mother.

Entering the hall, Chen Fang was immediately discovered by his dead friends.

"You're here." Leo's eyes lit up and grabbed his dead friend,

"Can't I come?" Chen Fang motioned for him to let go, and everyone watched, it was not good to be treated as glass.

"Wow, you brought a lot of gifts, do you have my share?" Leo noticed the large pile of gift boxes and asked knowingly.

"Do you have a sister?" Chen Fang asked rhetorically.

Leo shook his head.

"Where's my sister?" Chen Fang continued to ask.

Still shaking his head.

"Don't think about it in this life." Chen Fang patted his dead party on the shoulder regretfully.

Leo had a bitter look on his face.

"By the way, I have something to ask your dad for help." Chen Fang was originally going to visit the lion's father after the banquet, but now he happened to meet him.

"Please, don't mention the word help." Jokes aside, Leo is well aware of himself and his family's identity and mission.

A moment later, the Director of Intelligence, Bruce Beau, hurried in.

"The Third Son." Compared with his son who played with Chen Fang since he was a child, Bruce was respectful, and the simple three words were like swearing loyalty.

Bruce is a man who understands, and he is in awe and obedience to the Chen family; To the Secretary of State, he was genuinely afraid; And Chen Fang is the person he is loyal to, and the head of the Chen family has no objection to this, and reveals this information to him through Leo.

"Uncle, I need your help with something." Chen let go and said straight to the point.

"Third son, don't mention help, it's my honor to serve you." Over the years, the rest of the children of the Chen family have been integrated with the forces to which they belong, and although he belongs to the forces of the third son, he is in name only, which makes him feel isolated and trembling, especially in the current turbulent form, the suppression of the rest of the Chen family makes him unable to penetrate, and the order that Chen Sangongzi should have taken for granted was actually put forward in the form of help, all of which made him panic, prompted him to eagerly show his loyalty to Chen Fang.

Loyal! Chen Fang couldn't help but sigh secretly, no wonder his mother nagged all the way, teaching the way of the emperor, how to deal with the loyalty of his subordinates calmly, and rewarding them. Unlike other children, who have been ill for a long time, he has long been familiar with this kind of loyalty, the loyalty of the old tailor Anthony only makes him feel interesting, but the loyalty from Bruce is a wake-up call, and he cannot be taken lightly, you know, not only does Bruce need him as a support, but he also needs Bruce's loyalty.

According to the mother, if you are not good at managing this relationship, it will cause your subordinates to be uneasy and even lose the loyalty of your subordinates.

The Intelligence Bureau is not a dispensable department, it is like a pair of invisible eyes, monitoring everyone in the empire all the time, accurate intelligence is an indispensable help for any force, the Chen family can grab this department in the competition of all forces, which shows its strong strength, and Bruce as the head of the Intelligence Bureau, in addition to showing the Chen family's trust in him, is also a powerful bargaining chip handed over to Chen Sangongzi.

It's no wonder that the rest of the children invariably regard Bruce as their preferred target when suppressing dissident forces.

For a loyal deployment, the best reward is trust, Chen Fang was no longer polite, and said: "My mother and I were assassinated by unknown forces on the way back to the imperial capital, you investigate." ”

Bruce broke out in a cold sweat on the spot, you know, this mother and son are not ordinary characters. Who has the audacity to send a killer to assassinate them? The fool could also guess that the assassination was related to the dispute between the head of the Chen family, and as the head of the intelligence bureau, he didn't know anything about it, first of all, it was a dereliction of duty.

Does Chen Sangongzi's investigation at this time mean that action is about to be taken? This banquet is called a birthday banquet, and the visit of the Secretary of State is by no means to celebrate the birthday of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, what is even more bizarre is that Lu Beiyan actually invited himself who has never had any contacts, plus Lu Beiyan himself, Chen Sangongzi's forces are almost all together, and now Chen Sangongzi, who has not appeared for a long time, also suddenly appeared, and also issued the first order to himself, investigating the assassin, the sword pointed directly at the rest of the Chen family's children, it seems that the third prince is going to take revenge, in just a moment, Bruce thought of a lot.

In private, Bruce often asks his son about everything about the third son, he knows very well what kind of character his master is, the reason why there has been no movement so far is not because of incompetence or cowardice, even if the third son is not ambitious, the person standing behind him is not a vegetarian, the third son is likely to be waiting for the opportunity, and now all kinds of abnormal signs show that he is going to make a move.

"The subordinates must find out the real culprit as soon as possible and find out the instigators behind the scenes." In any case, this is Chen Sangongzi's first order, and it is also the first time he has fulfilled his mission, and in order to emphasize his identity, Bruce does not hesitate to consider himself a subordinate, which is obviously inconsistent with his identity as the director of intelligence.

"It's not up to you to find out who is the mastermind, just find out the details of the assassin." Chen Fang originally wanted to correct his title, although the relationship between the two was true, there was no need to explain it, especially now that it was still in public. But Bruce would never make a slip of the tongue for no reason, this move obviously had his intentions, and no one heard it anyway, so he simply took it calmly.

"My subordinates will do it immediately." Bruce turned and walked away.

"Is it too late to investigate after the banquet?" Chen Fang muttered in his heart, if he called the dignified intelligence chief back at this time, he would be too conspicuous, and his mouth moved, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

Although the conversation took place in private, and Bruce did not say anything inconsistent with his identity, this scene still attracted Lu Beiyan's attention.

Lu Beiyan was waiting for his son-in-law, although he was chatting with the secretary of state, a pair of tiger eyes never left the door.

The young man with a raw face was originally the object of his attention, not to mention that Chen Fang had an extraordinary temperament, and as soon as he appeared, he was pulled by Leo, and then talked to Bruce, although he couldn't hear the conversation, he could understand Bruce's respect. After the conversation, Bruce turned around and left, and it was clear that it was not a normal conversation.

Whether it is this outfit, or hairstyle, or even gestures, it has been carefully designed by the mother, tonight's Chen Fang can be described as a jade tree in the wind, even if standing in the middle of a wealthy family, there is still a feeling of excellence, the faint firmness and cold arrogance between the eyebrows is enough to make up for the impact of physical weakness, regardless of identity, in terms of appearance, it is definitely an excellent candidate for son-in-law.

Lu Beiyan faintly raised a trace of suspicion, but he couldn't determine, and of course he didn't dare to recognize his son-in-law. I secretly regret it in my heart, I knew that today, I shouldn't have been hard-mouthed in the first place, look at the photos first, why guess now?

Secretly looking at his in-laws, the Secretary of State is still unfathomable, if you can see the clues from his face, I am afraid that the Aojia Empire will not be as strong as it is today.

"That kid has a very raw face, I've never seen it before, I don't know where it came from?" The anxious Lu Beiyan began to probe.

"Which boy?" The Secretary of State glanced nonchalantly, and then disappeared.

It's not like the way my grandfather looks at his grandson, could it be that he is old and dizzy and recognizes the wrong person? Lu Beiyan was secretly happy, but he was inexplicably sorry that there were many young people at the banquet, and this kid was the only one who surprised him.

Mother, at the beginning, purely for the sake of family interests, I didn't even think about it, so I should do this family business, and now I have to worry about whether the son-in-law I have met can ascend to the position of the head of the family. wronged his daughter, and made himself troubled, I knew it was so, why bother in the first place, what's wrong with finding a door-to-door son-in-law? This kid is a good candidate.

The light suddenly dimmed, and a soft light swept towards the stairs, finally locking on a little girl of twelve or thirteen.

The little girl was very beautiful, first she smiled generously, and then slowly walked down the stairs, and the beam of light also moved, in other words, when the little goblin was cute, she was really like an angel, anyway, Chen Fang didn't recognize it.

"Hey." There was a faint fragrance behind him.

"Ugh." Chen Fang, who turned his head, widened his eyes, it was too exaggerated, it was only two weeks, Mo Lan and the previous judgment were like two people, wearing soft evening clothes, outlining the graceful figure very gracefully, under the dim light, you can still see the pretty little face, the faint haze sets off the mysterious charm of oriental women, at this moment, no one will doubt that she is a native from Xiunan Xing, even if she says it, no one wants to believe it.

"I can't recognize it, but I still want to say that in just two weeks, you have become a phoenix." Mo Lan's smile raised a hint of pride, originally she had no chance to participate in this kind of banquet, but her current identity is a reporter, and she is familiar with Lu Lingxue, so she was qualified to interview the banquet, and she didn't expect to meet an acquaintance.

"You're changing so fast." Chen Fang said incoherently.

"If you're a gentleman, you should say you're beautiful tonight." Mo Lan pursues fashion, and she does not hide it, for this right, she is willing to take risks that others can't imagine, and now, she cherishes this right more than others. Of course, you must also have money to chase fashion, judging from this evening dress, she doesn't seem to be short of money, how can someone who sells intelligence be short of money?

"You're so beautiful tonight." Chenfang, now learn, and sell.

"You know?" The strange conversation between the two caught Leo's attention.

"Well, Mo Lan and your father are peers." Chen Fang lost no time in playing with humor.

"Peers?" Leo was a little puzzled, he was a companion with his father, that is, he was engaged in intelligence.

"Mo Lan used to be the top intelligence dealer in Xiu Nanxing, and now she is a reporter in the Empire." Chen Fang quickly unraveled the mystery.

"Don't mention the past again, okay? By the time I left Xiunanxing, the past Mo Lan was dead. Mo Lan was a little angry, no woman wanted to be called an intelligence monger, not to mention that it was the last topic she liked to hear in the past, and she had paid too much to change her face.

"I'm sorry." Chen Fang apologized in embarrassment.

"What will the gentleman do next?" Mo Lan is not a stingy woman, and she will not ruin tonight's good mood for a sentence.

"What will he do?" Chen Fang asked.

"To apologize, he should invite the beautiful lady to a dance." Mo Lan's eyes were full of temptation.

"I think it's better to be free." Chen Fang shook his head again and again, what are you kidding, he came to see his father-in-law.

"You should remember that you owe me two favors, if I use one and you dance with me, isn't it cheap for you?" Mo Lan seemed to have known that he was going to refuse, and turned over his hole cards in a hurry.

"I do owe you two favors, but you have to think carefully, you can exchange it for more things, change the time, and I can dance with you without favors." Chen Fang reminded seriously.

"Never heard that women are sensual animals? I want to dance with you right now, even if I use two favors. Mo Lan stubbornly insisted.

"Since you insist, well, state it beforehand, this will take you a favor." Chen Fang, who was lucky, emphasized weakly, the light was dim, there were many people dancing, and now he and Mo Lan were insignificant small roles, who would pay attention? This can be a favor.

At this time, the son-in-law had not yet appeared, and despite the assurances of his in-laws, Lu Beiyan began to panic again, and he would not be released again, right?

His gaze left the doorway and moved to the dance floor. Tonight's princess was undoubtedly his beloved daughter, but it was the young man he had seen at first who stood out the most, and his dance partner, a graceful Oriental beauty in a fiery red evening dress.

Perhaps Chen Fang's dancing skills were not exquisite, let alone skilled, but he didn't know that the mercenary dance was completely different from the dance of the nobles, who were classical and elegant, especially conservative. In addition to the small movements, the mercenary's dance has a lot of themes, and the theme is also very clear, erotic.

Especially people like the Thunderbolt Bee and the Fire Bull, who originally went to the dance floor for lust, and the dance skills taught were naturally more fancy. And Mo Lan, who was born as a spy, seems to be a step ahead.

Watching their dance is not only a pleasure, but also a feeling of not being able to breathe.

The performance of the two quickly attracted a lot of attention, and by halftime, many nobles had no intention of dancing and quietly enjoyed the performance of the two.

"That kid has a lot of tricks." Lu Bei said coldly, which suddenly made the hearts of those who have a heart beat faster.

Gently wiping the sweat from the corners of his forehead, the Secretary of State muttered to himself, I knew that I wouldn't sell Guanzi, then again, did this kid take the wrong medicine, and even invited other women to dance under his father-in-law's nose, isn't this smoking my grandfather's old face?

Dancing is dancing, what are you doing with so many tricks?

"I can't see that you usually like to pretend to be cool, and you still have this skill, this person is worth it." At the end, Mo Lan curled up in the man's arms, whispering in the man's ear, and the expression on his little face was wonderful.
