Chapter 54: The Birthday Banquet
At this moment, Qingmu's phone rang, and when he took out his mobile phone, he saw that it was his father calling, so he hurriedly asked Qingluo to quiet them for a while, and then picked up the phone, only to see Lan Ao on the other end of the phone and say, "Mu Mu, have you forgotten that today is your Uncle Lu's birthday?"
Hearing Lan Ao say this, Qing Mu remembered that when he was in class this morning, he didn't see Lu Haochen, it turned out to be because of Lu Tingzhou's birthday, and said with a smile: "Thanks to my father for reminding me, otherwise I really forgot, but I didn't notice in advance in the past, and I didn't receive it this year, so I forgot it for a while." ”
Lan Ao on the other end of the phone also felt a little surprised when he heard Qing Mu say this, according to the past, it was his own daughter who reminded him, but this time he turned around, thinking of this Lan Ao and said, "Then don't forget to prepare a gift for your Uncle Lu." Qing Mu hurriedly responded, chatted for a while, and then hung up the phone.
Looking at Qing Mu who hung up the phone, Qing Luo opened his mouth and asked, "Mu Mu, who did Uncle Lan say about his birthday just now?"
Qing Mu sighed and said, "My dad just called and told me that Uncle Lu is on his birthday today, so I can prepare gifts and don't forget to attend on time in the evening." ”
Qingluo pouted and said: "Lu Haochen is really funny, I didn't inform you, but asked Uncle Lan to remind you, anyway, my brother should go there in the evening, and then I want to see who Lu Haochen is looking for to be a female companion." ”
After listening to Murong Chen, he remembered that he seemed to have received an invitation from the Lu family a few days ago, got up and walked to the cabinet over there, opened it and took out the invitation, sat on the sofa and said, "Mu Mu, this invitation seems to have been sent a few days ago, do you want to take a look?"
Qingmu shook his head, said no, pondered for a while and said: "We should have all the invitations, but in the past, I reminded my father, and I would go to Lu's house early in the morning and visit in advance, but today I went to school with Qingluo, and I didn't mention it, so my father thought I forgot." ”
Murong Chen saw Qing Mu say this, and didn't mention the matter of the invitation again, at this time Mo Yuxian said: "Mu Mu, in fact, Uncle Lan called you to remind you just now, and he also wanted to test whether you and Lu Haochen were having an awkward relationship, or something went wrong, I think that if you answered like that just now, it will only make Uncle Lan think that you are making an awkward trouble." ”
Looking at the tone in which he had just replied to his father, he guessed the meaning of his words, and couldn't help but marvel, he was really worthy of being able to take over the Mo family in just 3 months in his previous life, and then said: "Ah Yan, amazing, I really don't want my father to know that the two of them are already together, after all, it's not the time yet, but let's think about what to bring at night!"
Just when a few people were thinking about what gifts to prepare, Jiang Feng suddenly said, "Wait, you guys are going to the birthday banquet at night, what should I do, do I want to be Ah Yan's male companion?"
Mo Yuyan glanced at Jiang Feng whitely, and said angrily: "You want to be my male partner, I don't want to, it's not too much for you to pretend to be a woman, let you be a male partner, and don't let others think I'm gay!"
Jiang Feng wailed and said, "Then what should I do, don't let me stay alone in your house, it's so boring!" Mo Yuyan looked at Jiang Feng with disdain, did this guy forget Qingluo, he couldn't help but have a headache, this is Qingmu suddenly said: "Fengzi, you can be Qingluo's male companion, anyway, it's better than your female companion's men's clothes, although I also want to see your women's clothes." After speaking, he smiled at Jiang Feng with bad intentions.
Jiang Feng hurriedly waved his hand and refused, thinking in his heart that Young Master Ben would rather wronged himself to be Shen Qingluo's crazy girl's male companion than a woman pretending to be a man, if this matter was known to his mother, the whole family would definitely know, and then his cousin would laugh at himself, as well as the dead girl in his aunt's family.
Jiang Feng thought of this, so he looked at Qingluo with a flattering face and said: "Miss Luoluo, how about I be your male companion this time, you see that I am also a young man in Yushu Linfeng, and I will not suffer a loss if I choose it." ”
Qingluo heard Jiang Feng boasting so much, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, while Mo Yuyan and Qing Mu couldn't help laughing, and Murong Chen laughed directly, causing Jiang Feng to roll his eyes at him, Qingluo sighed helplessly and said: "Stop your brazen self-selling boasting, I promise, don't laugh at you, let's think about the gift!"
At the mention of gifts, Qing Mu couldn't help but have a headache, and then Jiang Feng said: "Why don't you go and pick a gift now, it's still early anyway, what do you think?"
Qing Mu nodded, thinking that it was not bad, and said after thinking about it: "I think we can go to the famous watches, antiques and have a look, and the rest may be forgotten." Mo Yuyan and the others nodded, and a few people went downstairs and drove to the famous antique street in the imperial capital.
After a while, a few people came to the antique street, looking at the antiques on the street, Qingmu and a few people couldn't help but marvel, dazzling, and didn't know which one to choose.
At this moment, Murong Chen suddenly said: "Qingmu, do you know what Mr. Lu likes, or what hobbies he likes, so it will be easier to start." Qing Mu was more distressed, the previous gifts were basically carefully selected by himself a few months ago, but now that he already knows that Lu Haochen betrayed him, and he already knows that the death of his father in his previous life is related to Lu Tingzhou, how can he still do his best to pick gifts for the enemy.
And Qingluo looked at Qing Mu, who suddenly stopped talking, stretched out his hand and shook Qing Mu's arm and said, "Mu Mu, you can help me choose." Looking at Qingluo who shook himself, Qingmu sighed helplessly, followed Qingluo to a shop that sold jade, accompanied Qingluo for a long time, and finally picked a jade carving ornament, and I picked a jade pendant at random, and when we came out of the store, we saw a few people waiting at the door.
Qingluo then spoke: "What did you choose?"
Looking at the curious Qingluo, Mo Yuyan raised the gift box in his hand and said: "I chose a pair of celebrity characters, and Ah Chen is a blue and white porcelain vase, as for Jiang Feng, you can ask him yourself!"
After listening to Mo Yuyan's words, Qingluo looked at Jiang Feng, but looked at him empty-handed, so he asked, "Isn't it, Jiang Ersil, don't you have a choice?"
Jiang Feng glanced at Qingluo and said: "You are all antiques, it will feel redundant if I send another one, why don't I pick a famous watch, so that it looks decent." ”
At this time, Qing Mu said: "It's not too early, a few of you will accompany Jiang Feng, I will go with Luoluo and the two to pick out clothes, when it is ready, I will be with Ah Yan, Luoluo will be with Jiang Feng, Ah Chen, you can only be alone, we must go separately, Lu Tingzhou is not Lu Haochen, he is an old fox." ”
Murong Chen nodded, indicating that there was no problem, and after seeing Murong Chen nodding, Qing Mu continued: "Then let's go, otherwise the time will be in a hurry." ”
The group walked to the place where they parked and drove towards the center of the imperial capital.
When they arrived in the city center, Qing Mu and Mo Yuyan separated from them, Qing Mu and Luoluo drove to pick out tonight's dress, and Mo Yuyan and they went to Rui to choose gifts.
At first sight, after Qingmu parked the car, the two walked in, and after picking and choosing for a while, the two finally picked out the clothes they were satisfied with, paid the money, and drove to the makeup studio opened by Qingluo's family.
And Jiang Feng looked at Qingluo who had changed into a gift costume, the word stunning flashed in his eyes, Jiang Feng had to say that Qingluo who was wearing a burgundy bandeau evening dress was really beautiful, very different from Qingluo who was dressed casually in the past, painting exquisite makeup, and instantly becoming a noble queen.
Qingluo looked at Jiang Feng, who was staring at him stunned, and couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Jiang Er is stupid, catch it, let's go, if you don't leave, you will be late." Jiang Feng, who was relieved, opened the car door and let Qingluo enter, also got into the car, and after positioning, he drove towards Lu's house.
As for Qing Mu and the others, as early as when Jiang Feng was staring at Qingluo in a daze, he said hello to Qingluo and went to the Lu family first.
The birthday banquet of the head of the Lu family invited some children of the upper echelons of the imperial capital, and many businessmen who were friendly with his Lu family also came to the appointment, and when Qing Mu and they arrived, the Lu family had already gathered a lot of people, and when Qing Mu saw that her father was also talking to other partners, she walked over.
Lan Ao saw his beautiful daughter walking towards him, smiled slightly, said goodbye to the people in his business circle, and asked his daughter to hold him to congratulate today's protagonist on his birthday.
Lu Tingzhou and Lu Haochen watched them come over, and handed two glasses of champagne to the father and daughter who had just arrived in front of them. Lan Ao and Lan Qingmu held the wine glasses, and Lan Qingmu took the lead in speaking, "Uncle Lu, I wish you a happy birthday and good health~ The more you live, the younger you get." ”
said so on the surface, but in his heart he had already cut him with a thousand knives, "Haha, Lan Ao, look at your daughter, your mouth is sweet!"
"Lao Lu, you don't know what our family Mu Mu is like. Lan Ao clinked glasses with Lu Tingzhou with champagne, and the two elders chatted, and Lu Tingzhou asked Lu Haochen to take Lan Qingmu around.
Lan Qingmu didn't refuse, "Let's go, Qingmu, let's go dance." ”
Qing Mu nodded, Lu Haochen took her hand and walked on the dance floor, Mo Yuyan saw that there was a little taste, Shen Qing fell on his shoulder and patted him, signaling him not to care, after all, what kind of attitude Qing Mu has now, they know very well in their hearts.
Similarly, Lan Ximo's face was not good-looking, "Damn! Haochen should have danced with me!"
And although the two parties are dancing on the dance floor, outsiders may feel that they are very intimate when they see them, but only Lan Qingmu knows how uncomfortable she endures, and she really doesn't have a good impression of this person who pushed herself into the abyss in her previous life, but in order to make her father feel at ease, there are some things that are not suitable to be said on the table now.
