There were many fruit champagne wines in the backyard of the Zhao family, and everyone was smiling with a layer of hypocritical masks on their faces.

Everyone present knew exactly what the outcome of tonight's banquet was, but they didn't say it, waiting for the biggest person tonight to speak.

A woman looked out of the hall anxiously, but there was still no man there. She continued to wait.

As if all this was worth it, Zhao Yuan was dressed very elegantly today. She wore a white dress with a bow tied around her waist, and her hair was coiled up, revealing her slender neck.

Wearing light makeup, fresh and refined, Zhao Yuan was determined to win Mu Yichen, and waited confidently.

"What are you doing, scare me." Zhao Yuan turned her head angrily to look at the person who had just patted her on the shoulder.

Lu Yan? Zhao Yuan didn't remember that there were people from the Lu family on the invitation list, and now hurry up and get rid of this troublesome essence, Zhao Yuan didn't have much time to deal with Lu Yan.

Zhao Yuan thought about it.

"I see you've been looking here, what are you looking at?" Lu Yan asked a little unclearly, with a little doubt, Zhao Yuan used to talk to her very enthusiastically.

Today, it seems that she has changed as a different person, which is also what makes Lu Yan puzzled.

"I didn't, I thought it was someone else, it scared me, I'm sorry. I'll take you to the backyard for a walk. Zhao Yuan immediately smiled, but she was very jealous in her heart.

If she has the same status as Lu Yan, then there is no need to grovel here to curry favor with Lu Yan, after all, she will still rely on Lu Yan to achieve her goals in the future.

This time, Zhao Yuan chose to be patient, and she didn't feel pain when her nails were deeply immersed in the flesh, reminding herself that it was her own and that she had to grab it if it wasn't her own.

Lu Yan nodded happily, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and took Zhao Yuan's hand and prepared to walk forward.

"Yeon-yeon, let go." Lu Ziang saw Lu Yan holding Zhao Yuan's hand, immediately pushed away the person who was talking, and walked quickly in the direction of Lu Yan.

is worried that Lu Yan will be hurt, after all, Lu Yan is simple-minded, unlike Zhao Yuan, the city government is extremely deep, but Lu Yan wants to be friends with Zhao Yuan.

This is also a headache for Lu Ziang, so he can only try his best to protect his sister from harm.

Lu Yan raised her head and looked at Lu Ziang with her pink lips dissatisfied, here she knows Zhao Yuan alone, and Zhao Yuan is still her friend, why let herself go.

"Yanyan, I mean I have something to do with you, something urgent." Lu Ziang immediately changed his words, it was really not easy to coax Lu Yan.

Lu Ziang looked at the tears in Lu Yan's eyes, and sighed slightly in his heart, not because he didn't want Lu Yan to make friends, but because Zhao Yuan couldn't believe it.

Lu Ziang's warning cold eyes looked directly at Zhao Yuan's breezy face, no matter how good the makeup was, it was a devil in human skin, Lu Ziang sarcastically disdainfully.

"Miss Zhao, you said that you were dressed so vulgarly, would you not be able to appear on the stage tonight?" Lu Ziang's triumphant smile was placed in front of Zhao Yuan.

The poisonous eyes looked at Lu Ziang viciously, and he couldn't wait to drag Lu Ziang out in front of him and beat him up and tear his mouth to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

This dress was chosen by Zhao Yuan for a long time, but it was obviously a noble dress, but it was said by Lu Ziang to be vulgar, and he was sulking in his heart and didn't dare to attack.

Zhao Yuan's sobbing sound sounded, and the corners of her eyes were filled with tears, which made people feel pity.

"Brother, what are you doing, Zhao Yuan is my friend, don't talk about her like that." Lu Yan didn't see the interaction between the two just now, and when she turned around, she found Zhao Yuan crying on the side.

Lu Ziang looked at his sister helplessly, why is he missing a tendon, if Zhao Yuan can be bullied, his name can be written upside down.

Lu Ziang pulled up Lu Yan, who was about to speak, and walked out, glancing at Zhao Yuan with a warning look, and Zhao Yuan replied with a smug smile.

Who is dealing with whom, she Zhao Yuan is not afraid. The soldiers will come to cover the water, and Zhao Yuan will not be frightened because of these.

Zhao Yuan took out the mirror in her bag and began to make up her face, she was a little dizzy from crying just now, it was really not worth it, Zhao Yuan scolded in her heart.

"Brother, you let me go." Lu Yan couldn't successfully shake off Lu Ziang's hand holding her for half a day, and her wrists turned red.

Lu Yan was also angry at the moment, so she pulled herself from the backyard to the garden, dissatisfied with Lu Ziang's approach.

"Yanyan, how many times have I told you, don't get too close to Zhao Yuan, sooner or later you will suffer." Lu Ziang persuaded hard, but Lu Yan didn't listen to a word.

Lu Ziang straightened Lu Yan's body, his eyes were facing each other, Lu Ziang's face twitched, his good-looking eyebrows furrowed and twisted into a ball, it seemed that Lu Yan would not listen to what he said.

looked directly at Lu Yan without being shocked, and said word by word.

"Don't look for me for anything from now on." Lu Ziang held back the nameless anger in his chest, and what he said was completely angry, and he directly threw down Lu Yan and strode on the side.

Today is really about to be mad by Lu Yan, Lu Yan, who can't listen to anything, I don't know what method Zhao Yuan used to make Lu Yan die for her.

actually protected Zhao Yuan, feeling that even if Zhao Yuan made a mistake, he would not blame Zhao Yuan, Lu Ziang rubbed his eyebrows, and no longer thought about these messy things.

"Hello sir, may I ask--"

"Fuck off, don't bother me." Lu Ziang completely ignored the voices of others, he was not in the mood to play a gentleman today, at least he couldn't do it now.

Lu Ziang's chest rose one after another, and the thick smell of gunpowder emanated from his nostrils.

At the moment, there is no sound next to me, and sure enough, it will be much better to stay alone, and you don't have to think too much about messy things.

Lu Ziang glanced down at a pair of high heels, and the doubts in his heart became even greater, how could there be a pair of high heels?

Looking up in the moonlight, it was a girl looking at him with a sweet smile.

"You are?" Lu Ziang was a little unnatural, and he didn't know where to put his hands, so he simply put them in his trouser pockets.

"My name is Mu Qingqing."

"I accompanied you just now when I saw that you were in a bad mood, is it much better now?" Mu Qingqing's innocent smile rose, and the moonlight sprinkled on Mu Qingqing's body was like a layer of soft clothes.

Mu Qingqing was just about to leave, but she saw that this man was in a bad mood, and she happened to know how to walk, so she stayed.

Mu Qingqing was brought by her eldest brother Mu Yunting, saying that it was for her to see the world, Mu Qingqing didn't like to go out since she was a child, so Mu Qingqing followed.

"Are you lost? My name is Lu Ziang. After Lu Ziang introduced himself, he opened his mouth to ask, and Mu Qingqing in front of him wrote everything on his face, and it was not difficult to find it.

Mu Qingqing nodded, she was indeed lost, after Mu Yunting received a phone call, she left her here alone, and Mu Qingqing didn't know how to go, so she met Lu Ziang.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the backyard." Lu Ziang's mood was much better, maybe a person suddenly appeared next to him, so he was not lonely for a moment.

Lu Ziang's face was replaced with a ruffian smile, still smiling with the smile he had just talked and laughed about, pretending to be himself.

"Why are you pretending to smile brightly when you're not happy?" Mu Qingqing asked as she walked, why she was unhappy and forced herself to laugh.

Mu Qingqing has always been well protected by her family, and everything she sees is beautiful, so her heart is also very pure.

Lu Ziang's face was gloomy, it was a very unpleasant thing to be seen through, and it was the same for Lu Ziang, looking at Mu Qingqing's innocent face, he couldn't help but blame.

Never mind! Lu Ziang said to himself, there was no need to confide in someone who had only known him for a short time, and Lu Ziang, who was silent, continued to walk forward.

Mu Qingqing didn't get an answer, and walked behind sullenly, is this question difficult to answer? It shouldn't be difficult, Mu Qingqing simply doesn't think about it so much, Lu Ziang shouldn't be a bad person.

Following him, his heart also calmed down, Mu Qingqing looked up at the sky, and it seemed that even the air was wonderful.

"Here we are." Lu Ziang opened his mouth coldly, and when he walked to the backyard, it was still brightly lit, and his eyes glanced at everyone present, Lu Yan was with Zhao Yuan.

Lu Ziang squeezed his hand and let it go, presumably there won't be any big mess tonight, he can also save the scene, pick up the champagne on the side and taste it slowly.

"Why aren't you leaving?" Lu Ziang turned his head and found that Mu Qingqing, who was following behind him, was not half a step away from him, and she followed wherever she went, stopped and said slowly.

"I only know you here." Mu Qingqing said seriously, her eyes were blinking with tears, no one here knew anyone, only the man in front of her knew, Mu Qingqing had no choice but to follow Lu Ziang.

Mu Qingqing had an instinctive resistance in the unfamiliar environment, grabbing Lu Ziang's sleeves, and her innocent big eyes seemed to tell not to drive her away.

Lu Ziang brushed aside the hand that wanted to put it on his arm without a trace, and did not allow any woman to come near him, except for Lu Yan who was his sister.

Mu Qingqing's eyes dimmed, her eyes looked at the ground distractedly, and tears fell to the ground one by one, making others want to rush up and hold Mu Qingqing in their arms to comfort her.

Lu Ziang exudes a powerful aura, and whoever dares to approach must be prepared to be beaten by him.

Lu Ziang sighed helplessly, turned to Mu Qingqing and said.

"There's a place to sit, don't run around, I'll take you home when the dinner is over." Lu Ziang had no choice but to make this decision, it was impossible to bring a woman with him when he talked to someone.

This is what Lu Ziang doesn't want to see, I'd rather let her sit on the side than let her disturb her own affairs, after all, I came with business today.

Mu Qingqing reluctantly watched Lu Ziang go farther and farther, gradually disappearing into the crowd, Mu Qingqing reluctantly walked to the side and sat down.

The cake she was holding didn't have much appetite, such a scene made Mu Qingqing fearful, everyone wore masks and was good at disguise, which made Mu Qingqing very uncomfortable.

Someone wanted to go up and talk, but they were timid when they saw Lu Ziang protecting Mu Qingqing before. They don't have the ability to confront the Lu group yet, and they are watching from afar.

Mu Qingqing looked around boredly, such a scene was really uncomfortable, looking forward to Lu Ziang coming back, but he never appeared.

"Boss, see if it's time to start." The housekeeper stretched out his hand and said close to Zhao Tiancheng's ear.

"Wait a little longer." Zhao Tiancheng looked at his watch, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, this dinner was originally prepared for Mu Yichen, if he didn't come, it would be meaningless.

Zhao Tiancheng would rather wait a little longer than watch tonight's plan go to waste, then he would really be desperate.

The guests looked at the time in confusion, it was almost half past eight and had not yet started, and some people had already begun to be restless.

"Boss, it's possible not to start again--"

Zhao Tiancheng raised his hand and signaled the housekeeper to stop talking, he knew that if he didn't start again, it might cause public outrage, maybe Mu Yichen really wouldn't come.

Zhao Tiancheng sighed slightly in his heart, a dinner party carefully prepared for Mu Yichen was in vain, Zhao Tiancheng was angry, and everything would be irreparable after tonight.

"Everyone is quiet, everyone has been waiting for a long time, and I announce that the dinner party has officially begun." Zhao Tiancheng had no choice but to start first, and the rest of this start depends on fate.
