That night, there were nearly a hundred guests, most of whom were people closely related to the Lu family.
As the head of the family, Lu Yuchuan was supposed to be very busy entertaining guests, but he focused most of his attention on Mu Qian and Huo Jinxi.
Mu Qian's expression was very calm from beginning to end. Most of the time, he turned his head to talk to Lu Yuan who was sitting next to him, while Lu Yuchuan mostly chatted with Huo Jinxi.
While drinking and drinking, people coming and going to toast came to Lu Yuchuan. While toasting Lu Yuchuan, they naturally also wanted to toast Huo Jinxi.
Although Huo Jinxi is no longer in Huo's management, no one despises his abilities and methods. In addition, he has such a close relationship with Lu Yuchuan, and no one dares to despise him for a while.
.
"What is going on?" The senior executive of the Huo family sitting next to Huo Xiaoxiao couldn't help but said, "Mr. Huo has always been cold and aloof, and he has also suppressed the Lu family. With his personality, he will definitely look down on the Lu family.
...How come you are so close to Lu Yuchuan?"
After hearing this, Huo Botao said: "His temperament was developed in the position of president of Huo Corporation. Now that he has left Huo Corporation, what capital does he have to look down on others?"
Huo Xiaoxiao picked up the wine glass in front of her, took a sip, and said slowly: "Didn't you hear what Lu Yuchuan said just now, is this a family banquet? The family banquet must wait until they start, which means that they are a family.
What else is there to say?"
After saying that, Huo Xiaoxiao looked at Mu Qian, who was concentrating on talking to Lu Yuan, and said in a low voice: "I didn't notice it before, but now that the two of them were sitting together, I realized that Mu Qian and Lu Yuan have really similar eyes.
ah."
When she said this, everyone at the table looked in that direction. Suddenly, everyone seemed to have the answer in their minds.
While talking to Huo Jinxi, Lu Yuchuan noticed that Mu Qian didn't seem to use his chopsticks much, and couldn't help but said, "Qian Qian, does the food not suit your appetite? Why don't you eat it?"
Since she was asked by name, Mu Qian had no choice but to answer. She just smiled and said, "How could such a luxurious dinner be unpalatable? It's just that I don't have much appetite."
After saying that, Mu Qian turned to talk to Lu Yuan again.
At this time, someone happened to be serving food. When Lu Yuchuan saw it, he stretched out his hand to call the person over and bowed his head to give some instructions.
Not long after, Mu Qian had a bowl of bird's nest porridge in front of him.
Mu Qian turned to look at Huo Jinxi, while Huo Jinxi looked at Lu Yuchuan.
Lu Yuchuan said: "You are usually so busy and don't eat well, no wonder you are so thin. If you have no appetite, drink some porridge. Don't go on an empty stomach."
Mu Qian held a spoon and flicked the bird's nest porridge in front of her somewhat helplessly.
"Eat a little," Huo Jinxi said, "otherwise you'll be late when you go back, and Auntie will have to get up to make you something to eat."
Mu Qian reluctantly took a few mouthfuls of the porridge, but quickly put down the spoon and said to Huo Jinxi, "It's very boring here. Yuanyuan and I went out for a walk."
After saying that, she pulled Lu Yuan up and walked out of the banquet hall.
Lu Yuchuan looked at the backs of the two of them and said slowly: "The two sisters have such a good relationship, I'm very happy."
"She likes Lu Yuan's personality very much." Huo Jinxi said lightly.
"Really?" Lu Yuchuan smiled slightly and said, "I also like her personality very much."
After hearing this, Huo Jinxi glanced at Lu Yuchuan and said, "Because he looks like you?"
Lu Yuchuan smiled and said nothing, and then said after a pause: "If one day, she is willing to recognize her ancestor and return to the clan, for me, it will definitely be the biggest happy event."
"That's her own choice." Huo Jinxi said, "I will never interfere."
"Okay." Lu Yuchuan was immediately delighted, "Sleek and free-spirited, as expected of you."
After speaking, Lu Yuchuan picked up the wine glass.
Huo Jinxi also picked up the wine glass and touched it with him calmly.
…
Mu Qian and Lu Yuan left the banquet hall. A group of young people and children were setting off fireworks outside.
Normally, no one would notice Lu Yuan, but today, because of Mu Qian, many people looked over, and some even happily invited them to play together.
Mu Qian could see that Lu Yuan was unwilling to participate in such excitement, and she didn't want to be so noisy at the moment, so she declined and followed Lu Yuan into the main building.
"Do you want to see mom's room?" Lu Yuan asked.
Although that was not the room Sheng Lin actually lived in, since it was decorated by Lu Yuchuan wholeheartedly, there was no harm in taking a look.
Mu Qian followed Lu Yuan into the room, walked around the small room, and then stopped in front of the photo on the bedside.
The woman in the photo has a beautiful face and charming eyebrows.
In the past, when Mu Qian looked at the full-moon photo in Lu Yuan's hand, she saw that the woman in the photo did not have much fluctuation in her heart. Now that she saw this photo with clear eyebrows and eyes, she finally felt a clear sense of intimacy in her heart.
After all, this is her mother, the mother who was pregnant in ten months and connected with her by flesh and blood.
Mu Qian stood quietly for a moment. Lu Yuan had already taken out a large photo album and put it on the bed. "Mom's photos are all saved in this. Come and take a look."
The two of them sat by the bed and flipped through the photos.
Most of the photo albums are single photos of Sheng Lin, and there are also many photos of Lu Yuchuan and her. In the photos, what is clearly visible is the love that cannot be hidden in the smiling eyes of the young man and woman.
Lu Yuchuan truly loves Sheng Lin.
Although this love seems to be nothing more than this to Mu Qian now, after all, Lu Yuchuan has been trapped in his life because of this love.
When the photo album in their hands reached the end, the two of them were silent for a moment.
At this moment, the clear and loud sound of fireworks suddenly came from outside.
Mu Qian and Lu Yuan walked to the window, just in time to see the fireworks rising over the open space outside, blooming and lighting up the night sky.
"We haven't set off fireworks at home for several years," Lu Yuan said.
"Yeah?"
"Well, because dad was too noisy, no one was allowed to set off fireworks at home in previous years."
So, this year's fireworks have something to do with her?
Mu Qian thought this and curled her lips. Just when she was about to look away, her eyes suddenly fell on the villa opposite.
Compared with several brightly lit villas next to it, that villa only had a few windows showing light, and a window on the third floor reflected a face looking up at the sky in surprise.
It was a very young face, he seemed to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, very young, and very... familiar.
"That building opposite is..." Mu Qian asked.
Lu Yuan said: "Third uncle's house."
"Isn't he single?" Mu Qian couldn't help but ask, "Who is that girl?"
Lu Yan followed her line of sight and saw that the girl's face reflected in the window had disappeared, replaced by a page of airtight curtains.
It seems that before, it was just an illusion of Mu Qian.
