17 Chapter 17
The banquet held by the Lu family, how many people rushed to come, so there were a lot of people at the banquet, and it was also very lively.
And the Lu family's manor is huge and luxurious, so many people get together, and they don't feel crowded.
Lu Xingmian is really not used to such a banquet, they are all unfamiliar faces.
He did not participate.
The only banquet he attended was when he just returned to the Lu family, the Lu family held a banquet, saying that it was to celebrate the recovery of his lost child, but in fact, on the day of the banquet, Lu Xingmian was left alone in a corner.
No one noticed him, and it seemed that everyone had forgotten what the purpose of the banquet was.
After the banquet, Lu Yan and Xia Yuefang remembered Lu Xingmian in the corner, who never showed up from beginning to end, and the two blamed him for twisting and pinching, not generous at all, not like the children of the Lu family at all.
But they forgot that at the banquet, Lu Xingmian didn't know anyone, and Yancheng was a completely strange city to him.
At the current banquet, Lu Xingmian still doesn't like it, he is just an object that is displayed.
After the display, Lu Xingmian found a quiet place to stay, Xia Yuefang looked at him like this, and there was a burst of dissatisfaction in his heart, and he didn't know how to communicate at all.
Lu Sihang persuaded Xia Yuefang: "Mom, you have to give Lu Xingmian some time, he rarely participated in such occasions before, he will definitely not get used to it, he will get used to it in the future, take your time." ”
Lu Sihang's words made Xia Yuefang's heart feel a lot more comfortable, anyway, there have already been many people who have seen the four of them coming together, so there should be no more people who say that they are biased.
Lu Sihang took his mother's arm and coquettishly said, "Mom, let's go over there." ”
Xia Yuefang left with Lu Sihang, this son's personality is too weird, and he is not close to them.
There were a few rich ladies over there, and she was going to go over and talk to them.
A few rich ladies were talking about the real young master of the Lu family.
"Have you seen it, the true young master of the Lu family is really a talent, much better looking than Lu Sihang."
"The real young master is very temperamental at first glance."
"I don't know if you have noticed it, the dress worn by the real young master is too ill-fitting, and they don't even want to do superficial work."
"Who doesn't know if they brought the real young master over today just to gag other people's mouths, so as not to let others say that they are biased."
When several rich ladies saw Xia Yuefang coming, they all tacitly changed the topic.
Lu Yan and Xia Yuefang both went to socialize.
Lu Sihang also went to find his friends, and in the circle, he had a few good friends to play with.
"Dude, there's something I need your help with."
Lu Xingmian hadn't eaten for almost a day, and now he was a little flustered with hunger, he looked at it for a while, and finally found the dining area.
He placed his bag on his chair and prepared to get something to eat.
As soon as he left, a couple of boys came over and rummaged through his bag, but couldn't find what they were looking for.
There were a lot of things in the dining area, and Lu Xingmian was a little dazzled, so he picked a few foods that could fill his stomach.
He was really hungry, so the plate was full.
-
Xiaoyuzi wanted to eat cake, so he pulled his uncle to the dessert area to get a small cake, Xiaoyuzi was too short, Lu Shiran picked her up and asked her, "Which one do you want?" ”
Yuzu: "I want that, and that." ”
Lu Shiran: "You can only choose one, eating too much is not good for your teeth." ”
After a little entanglement, Xiaoyuzi chose one.
At the same time, Lu Xingmian also came to the dessert area, and then heard an extremely familiar voice.
He looked around, but his voice stopped abruptly, as if he had misheard.
But he will never hear it wrong, this voice is very unique, this voice is the same as Brother Lu's voice, could it be that Brother Lu is also here?
Lu Xingmian went to look for it.
Finally found a figure, and the voice seemed to come from him.
The man was tall, wearing a suit, just a back, Lu Xingmian felt an aggressive momentum, he didn't seem to be able to provoke this person.
But he was the only one closest to him just now, it should be Brother Lu, the voice is so similar, there shouldn't be such a similar voice.
Just when Lu Xingmian wanted to catch up and ask, someone greeted the man: "Mr. Lu." ”
The man hummed faintly, and his voice was very cold.
Lu Xingmian scratched his head, this voice was very similar to Brother Lu's voice, but this person's voice was too cold, while Brother Lu's voice was gentle, which was very different.
Moreover, there are several people who respectfully call this man Mr. Lu, he should be the host of tonight's banquet, the Lu family.
Then this person can't be Brother Lu, Brother Lu is just an ordinary office worker, and it can't be a member of the famous Lu family in Yancheng.
It's just that the voices are similar, and Lu Xingmian thinks that Brother Lu's voice is good.
After Lu Xingmian turned around and left with a plate, Lu Shiran seemed to feel something to stop, he seemed to see an emaciated figure, as if he saw Lu Xingmian.
Lu Shiran looked over again, it was a boy in a black dress, standing in the position just now and holding dessert, not Lu Xingmian, could he have seen it wrong?
Lu Shiran swept through the crowd and didn't see the emaciated figure again.
Lu Xingmian carried two plates full of plates and returned to the place where he had sat before.
Then he found that his bag had been turned over.
The zipper on the bag was in the middle before, but now the zipper is on the side, and the bag is upside down.
There was nothing in the schoolbag except for the clothes he had changed out of, and the power bank data cable.
It is clear that no one will take these things.
There are a lot of things, Lu Xingmian didn't care, he didn't eat for a day, and it was the time to grow his body, he was very hungry, very hungry, so he buried his head in eating, and in less than a few minutes, he ate all the food on one plate, but he was still not full, and he was ready to eat the things on another plate.
Three boys his age surrounded him, saw an empty plate on the table, and began to laugh at him.
"You're Lu Xingmian."
"Aren't you ashamed to dare to come here in some kind of roadside clothes you're wearing?"
"It's the first time I've seen someone eat so much at a banquet, haven't you ever eaten, it's true that you came from a small place, and you don't have any upbringing."
He didn't know these people, let alone seen them, but they knew their names clearly, and they were the same age as himself, so it should be Lu Sihang who found them, and it was these people who turned over his schoolbag, and Lu Xingmian probably understood that they were looking for their mobile phones.
Lu Xingmian didn't want to entangle them too much, so he ignored them.
When the three boys saw that Lu Xingmian didn't put them in their eyes, they became angry one by one.
They came here to vent their anger to Lu Sihang, they were friends with Lu Sihang, and they had heard that Lu Xingmian was not good to Lu Sihang after he came back, so they came over to teach him a hard lesson.
Anyway, Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu don't care about Lu Xingmian.
"Lu Xingmian, don't be embarrassed, what do you think you are, you're just something that no one wants."
"Don't be too arrogant, no one sees it here, and we beat you for nothing."
There are three of them, Lu Xingmian frowned, although he can't beat three people, but he won't let them bully him easily, he doesn't look for trouble, but someone always comes to him for trouble.
"What do you see, look for death."
"I see who dares to make trouble here." A voice came.
A few looked at it, it was a man in his fifties, and the three boys recognized it, this was the housekeeper of the Lu family, Mr. Hou.
Seeing Steward Hou, the three boys didn't dare to speak, and even the arrogant attitude before was gone in an instant, Steward Hou, who didn't know that he was very respected in the Lu family.
It's just how he suddenly appeared here.
Steward Hou said: "I know whose sons you are, if you dare to make trouble here, I will definitely inform your parents." ”
A few boys hurriedly said, "Don't dare, let's have fun." ”
Steward Hou looked at the three of them: "Kidding? Although I am old, I heard what you said to Young Master Lu clearly just now, and all of you here today are guests of the Lu family, so you had better apologize to Young Master Lu. ”
If their parents saw Steward Hou, they would have to give three points, let alone them.
The three boys had to apologize to Lu Xingmian, and then left in disgrace.
Lu Xingmian thanked the housekeeper: "Thank you." ”
Different from the tone of talking to a few boys just now, Steward Hou's voice was very kind: "You're welcome, Young Master Lu, if you have any questions, you can come to me at any time." ”
Lu Xingmian didn't know this person, but he knew that this person was here to help him, and he was very grateful.
Lu Xingmian said again: "Thank you." ”
Steward Hou said: "You're welcome, it's our negligence that made you encounter such an unpleasant thing in the Lu family, I'm really sorry." ”
Lu Xingmian hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, don't say that." ”
Steward Hou smiled: "How is the food here, is it delicious?" ”
Lu Xingmian: "It's delicious." ”
On that side, Xia Yuefang was stunned when she turned around, Lu Xingmian was actually talking to the Lu family's housekeeper Hou, you know, Steward Hou's status in the Lu family is very high, although he is a housekeeper, but the Lu family treats him as a family member.
Lu Xingmian actually knew the Hou housekeeper of the Lu family? And the two chatted so happily, they looked familiar.
Xia Yuefang wanted to come over and get close to Steward Hou, but before she was halfway through, Steward Hou left.
Xia Yuefang asked, "Do you know Steward Hou?" ”
Lu Xingmian: "I don't know." ”
Xia Yuefang obviously didn't believe it: "Then you guys had such a happy chat just now." ”
Lu Xingmian said: "He just asked me if the food here was delicious." ”
Just asked this, Xia Yuefang still didn't believe it, Steward Hou just came to ask Lu Xingmian if the food was delicious? But Lu Xingmian was telling the truth.
Steward Hou came to Lu Shiran: "Don't worry, they shouldn't dare to go to that kid's trouble anymore." ”
Lu Shiran looked at Lu Xingmian, who was eating quietly in the corner in the distance: "Uncle Hou, those three people let them learn some lessons." ”
