At this annual meeting, the seats are also particular.
Of course, the people sitting in the front row are the direct descendants of the Lu family, and they are high-ranking members. The further back, the lower the status. The tables in the last row are for those who are collateral members of the Lu family and have no ability or real power.
For people to sit.
Table No. 1 in the middle of the first row is the main table. Sitting at the head is Lu Haoming, the contemporary head of the Lu family. To his left and right are his wife Rong Lan and son Lu Chengfeng. Below are the third master of the Lu family, Lu Haoyu and his family.
As well as their sister Lu Wan'er's family, sitting on this table are the core members of the Lu family's generation. Logically speaking, Lu Haokai's family should also sit at table No. 1, but in fact, Lu Haokai and Lu Shihan,
Every year at the annual meeting, I only sit in the last row.
Lu Haoming did not take the initiative to invite them, and they did not ask for trouble.
At this moment, seeing Lu Haokai sitting in the corner of the last row again, the other Lu family members did not find it strange. It would be strange if Lu Haokai and Lu Shihan reached table one one day.
At eight o'clock sharp, Lu Haoming asked people to start serving food.
The annual meeting officially begins.
Plate after plate of delicious food was brought to the table, and the aroma began to fill the air.
Everyone else was chatting with each other, communicating with each other, and the atmosphere was good. Only Lu Haokai's table was relatively deserted. No one came to talk to them, but it was good. They were happy and quiet. Lin Fan and others whispered
He was talking and eating without disturbing other people.
But just because you don't bother others doesn't mean that others won't bother you.
At table No. 1, Rong Lan glanced at Lu Shihan in the last row, suddenly picked up a microphone and said: "Today is the annual meeting of our Rong family. This is a grand day...
"
The auditorium suddenly became quiet, and countless pairs of eyes looked at Rong Lan.
Although the head of the Lu family is Lu Haoming, Ronglan is extremely strong. After all, her natal family is relatively arrogant, so Ronglan usually interferes in family affairs. Now that she saw Ronglan talking, the Lu family stopped.
I took off my chopsticks and looked over.
Rong Lan glanced around with satisfaction. When he saw the last row, his face darkened.
Because only the people at the table in the corner of the last row didn't look at her.
Su Yue and Lin Long were clinking glasses, Ling Xuefei, Lu Shihan and An Yanan were whispering together, Lu Haokai was pouring himself a drink, and Lin Fan was holding Qiqi and feeding her.
The guy ate it with gusto.
Naked disregard.
This made Rong Lan feel angry, and the tone of his words became a bit strange: "Oh, this man, what is the most important thing is etiquette and respect. Chengfeng, you have to remember that when you go to other people's homes in the future, you must first
Say hello to the host, otherwise it would be too rude. Also, listening quietly when others are talking is the most basic form of respect, you know? If you can't even do these most basic things, it would be too shameful.
It’s embarrassing for me, the Lu family.”
"I know, Mom." Lu Chengfeng next to him smiled and nodded.
The other people in the Lu family had strange expressions on their faces, and many of them had lively thoughts. They immediately understood that these words were clearly talking about Lu Haokai and the others!
At the family annual meeting, speaking like this in front of so many clan members is not saving any face.
But no one else thought there was anything wrong with this, and no one sympathized with Lu Haokai, because the person who said this was Rong Lan, the mistress of the Lu family, and she had the Rong family behind her, and she had a very strong say in the Lu family.
, sometimes even the head of the family, Lu Haoming, falls short.
What's more important is that Lu Haokai's lineage is indeed too weak. It wants money but not money, and wants power but not power. Although it is a direct line, its status in the Lu family is not as good as that of the descendants of the collateral lines.
Everyone's eyes turned to Lin Fan and others, and some people started talking quietly.
"When it comes to Lu Haokai and his daughter, they are quite pitiful. They have been ostracized for so many years, alas."
"What can be done about this? What happened back then, Lu Haokai offended the Rong family to death, and even made Rong Lan hate him. You know, his life is easy, but our Lu family's life is not."
"This little girl Lu Shihan actually invited her friends to attend the annual party. This is embarrassing. I hope her friends can endure the calm for a while, otherwise there will be a good show."
"..."
Lu Haokai's hand holding the wine glass paused slightly, and his expression turned ugly.
Lu Shihan also frowned, a look of sullenness appeared on his face, and turned to look at Rong Lan with an unkind look.
In previous years, their father and daughter were scolded, but this time with friends present, Rong Lan still showed no mercy at all. It was too much!
Lin Fan also glanced at Rong Lan indifferently, then withdrew his gaze and continued to pick up food for Qiqi: "Come Qiqi, have a bite of this Wenchang chicken. This dish is a special dish here in the island province. It is one of the four dishes on the island."
One of the famous dishes, the skin is thin and tender. You can’t get such authentic Wenchang chicken here.”
Qiqi opened her mouth wide and took a bite of the meat, and said in a milky voice: "Thank you daddy, but Qiqi still thinks daddy's cooking is the most delicious."
Lin Fan smiled and touched Qiqi's little head: "From now on, daddy will cook for Qiqi every day."
On the other side, Su Yue held up his wine glass and said, "Brother Lin Long, come on, let's leave."
Lin Long also filled a glass of wine and raised it: "Take one, they are all in the wine."
"Dry!"
"Dry!"
Ignore.
Naked disregard.
At this time, Rong Lan became even more angry and knocked on the table three times with the microphone. The sound of "dong dong dong" echoed throughout the auditorium.
The people who were talking quietly suddenly stopped talking.
There was silence in the auditorium, only Lin Fan's table was still talking.
Rong Lan was so angry that he took a deep breath and said: "Xiaohan, these people are the friends you brought, right? Why don't you understand any rules? We welcome you to my Lu family as guests, but as guests, don't you also
Should you maintain the minimum courtesy? Even if you don't listen when I speak here, don't deliberately speak loudly to disturb me, right? And you, Rong Laoer, Xiaohan is still young and ignorant, just forget it, just give it a try
At this age, do we still need to be taught such a simple truth? If..."
Before Rong Lan finished speaking, he was interrupted.
Lu Shihan stood up, frowned and said, "Ronglan, that's enough, they are friends I invited, it's not your turn to point fingers!"
"Wow!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire auditorium was shocked.
In the entire Lu family, no one has ever dared to talk to Rong Lan like this.
But now, Lu Shihan actually openly contradicted Rong Lan in front of so many Lu family members. He didn't call her aunt, but called her by her first name. How could everyone not be surprised?
However, more people shook their heads secretly, secretly thinking that Lu Shihan was young and energetic after all. After saying this, he was happy at the moment, but if he offended Rong Lan, how should he deal with himself in the future?
Sure enough, Rong Lan was so angry that she clutched the microphone tightly, her finger joints turning slightly white from the exertion.
