Chapter 165: Seeing Someone Familiar
Night is quietly falling, a bright moon gradually has a clear outline, the evening breeze is blowing slowly, and the cold coolness is impossible to ignore.
High-end single-family villas, the yard is brightly lit, and handsome men and beautiful women can be seen everywhere.
Soothing music resounded in the palatial halls, mixed with the noise of human voices and the crisp sound of clinking glasses.
At this time, a black Maybach slowly stopped outside the gate, attracting everyone's attention.
In this wealthy circle, Maybach is a more common model, but there are few with unique license plate numbers.
Before the people in the back seat got out of the car, someone had already guessed who the people in the car were.
"That's the Lu family's car, right?"
"What about the abandoned woman?"
"Not to mention, Lu Qingye is really good-looking to marry that daughter-in-law."
With the words of others, the door of the back seat of the Maybach was opened, and Meng Chuyuan was the first to get out of the car.
She wore a blue bandeau evening gown tonight, made of sequins, which was even more dazzling in the light, and a light shawl hung from her body, and the waist skirt perfectly outlined her slender willow waist.
This glittering gown with a half-tied princess head not only attracted the attention of the crowd, but also the street lamps and the night wind gathered on her.
She mainly accompanied her mother-in-law to attend someone else's birthday banquet tonight, and she didn't plan to wear it so grandly, but before going out, Lu's mother disliked the white lace skirt she wore was too plain, and asked her to change into a new dress.
After Meng Chuyuan stood firm, he didn't care about the sight of others, turned half sideways, and stretched out his hand to take Lu Mu out of the car.
Lu's mother's evening dress is gray, with a spliced skirt design that fits the waist, and the overall look is very layered.
When others saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get out of the car, the corners of their mouths pulled out a touch of ridicule, and they said to their friends: "Lin Youjuan will actually bring her daughter-in-law out?" ”
"I guess my husband didn't come back, so I can only take my daughter-in-law as a companion."
Because Lin Youjuan has the support of the Lin family behind her, even if it is a vase, everyone can only talk about her secretly in private, and they dare not talk too much.
Lin Youjuan didn't like this kind of gathering with a lot of people, if it weren't for the fact that the two families still had business dealings, she would have declined a long time ago.
But fortunately, Meng Chuyuan is free and willing to accompany her on this trip.
Lin Youjuan took Meng Chuyuan into the compound, and the invitation didn't need to be presented, just brush your face at the doorman and go in.
When the two of them walked in, a waiter soon came forward with a drink.
Meng Chuyuan chose a glass of champagne, and then followed Lu's mother into the banquet hall and greeted everyone she met.
To be precise, the moment they walked in, they didn't have to deliberately walk in front of others at all, and most of them took the initiative to come over to toast and greet them.
Lin Youjuan will be more relaxed when she sees the people she knows, and takes the initiative to introduce Meng Chuyuan's identity to her friends, and those who are not familiar or have not seen it, she simply perfunctory a few words in the past.
"Mrs. Lu, long time no see." The person who came was a couple, who took the initiative to come over and clink glasses with Lin Youjuan.
She raised her glass and gently touched the other party's glass, smiled awkwardly and rudely, and responded: "Long time no see......"
In fact, she didn't know who the couple was at all, and in order to hide this embarrassment, Lin Youjuan didn't dare to call each other the whole time.
The man took a sip of red wine, his eyes slowly fell on Meng Chuyuan, and he said softly: "This must be Mr. Xiao Lu's wife, right?" ”
"Hello." Meng Chuyuan bowed slightly and greeted the other party politely.
In order to show his respect, the other party raised his glass and tilted the mouth of the cup slightly, and admired: "Xiao Lu is always very good, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with him." ”
Meng Chuyuan smiled and said generously: "Then you have to work hard." ”
The other party smiled at her divine reply, nodded her head and said, "That's right." ”
There are many people who want to cooperate with the Lu family, and everyone shows a very strong intention to cooperate, but they all know that they can't just agree because of others' overtures.
Even if she and Lin Youjuan didn't know much about the company's operations, they also knew that they couldn't make trouble for Lu Qingye and them.
Meng Chuyuan can be regarded as seeing it tonight, no wonder Lu Qingye and his family don't like such an occasion, because there are too many people who are courteous, even if you say polite words, they will greet each other with a smile.
After sending the couple away, Meng Chuyuan found a quieter corner to sit down, and reserved a place for Lu's mother.
The two were wearing high heels, and their feet were sore after standing for a while.
There were a lot of people in the hall, everyone laughed and laughed, and gathered in groups to chat, on the other hand, Meng Chuyuan's side seemed a little out of place.
Lin Youjuan glanced around the hall and didn't see the usual good sisters, so she sat down to rest with peace of mind.
Not long after, however, a woman approached them.
"Juan, I just looked for you for a long time, so you are here." The woman wore a black dress, short curly hair, and her big earrings were the ones that looked very heavy.
Lin Youjuan smiled at the woman, and then took the initiative to introduce Meng Chuyuan to her: "This is my eldest daughter-in-law, Meng Chuyuan." ”
After the woman approached, she raised her eyes and looked at Meng Chuyuan seriously, and said with a smile: "Aye's daughter-in-law is very beautiful...... I also watched Aye grow up, just call me the third aunt. ”
Meng Chuyuan smiled calmly and said, "Third aunt." ”
Aunt Zhao glanced at Lin Youjuan, with a slightly complaining tone: "A few of us are outside, we have arrived early, and we are looking for you all over the house." ”
The Maybach just now was so eye-catching, it caused a commotion, and Aunt Zhao also knew about it, but they didn't come to Lin Youjuan for the first time.
At night, it was relatively cool outside, and the light was not so good, so Meng Chuyuan and her mother-in-law chose to come to the hall at first.
When Lin Youjuan heard this, she turned her head to look at Meng Chuyuan, trying to ask for her opinion: "Why don't we go out too?" ”
Meng Chuyuan said without thinking: "Yes." ”
The two followed Aunt Zhao to the front yard, and the guests here were no less than those inside, and when Meng Chuyuan passed by, there were still eyes staring at her.
When he came to the place near the pool, the wind here was a little stronger, and Lin Youjuan unconsciously rubbed his arms.
Seeing this, Meng Chuyuan took off the small shawl on her body and put it on Lin Youjuan, "This shawl is relatively thin, but it can block some wind." ”
Lin Youjuan opened her mouth to refuse, but Meng Chuyuan had already draped her, and even a voice interrupted her: "Juan, you are finally here." ”
Meng Chuyuan reflexively raised his head curiously, his eyes fell on the crowd not far away, and a familiar shadow came into his eyes.
