C303 The Heir to the Queen
"Are you sure?" He asked with a frown.
Lu Ziang nodded cautiously and said, "I've investigated it myself. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm 100% sure, I wouldn't have told you so easily!"
"Yes!" old master Lu fell into a trance again. The wrinkles on his face were obvious, so it was hard to tell what he was thinking about these things.
The Lu family's family teachings were a bit strict, so Lu Ziang didn't dare to ask.
After waiting for a long time, he heard old master Lu speak. "How about this, find a time and bring him to me to take a look!"
"Yes, grandfather!" Lu Ziang answered happily, thinking that he had finally shown his face in front of his grandfather.
Time always passed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was time for the ball. The banquet was held in the most famous money-making cave in Rongcheng. Although it was a ball in name, it was basically used by the upper class to introduce the young generation of the family to each other and to communicate with each other about how to increase cooperation in the coming year.
Every year, it was organized by the four big families of Rongcheng. They were the Su family, Cui Family, Li Family, and Jun Family.
It was the Cui Family's turn to host the banquet this year. Coincidentally, Cui Shaohao and Su Qiyang had known each other since they were young. It was very simple to ask for an invitation from him to give Zhao Weier.
Zhao Weier thought that it was purely based on the freshness. A bold person like her would also have times when she was afraid. Without a family, she shamelessly squeezed into a car with Yu Xiaowen. This made Su Qiyang somewhat regret getting an invitation for her.
As soon as their car arrived, a waiter immediately came over to open the car door. Beside Cui Shaohao was Wang Yalu. The two of them followed the current head of the Cui Family, which was also Cui Shaohao's father. The host of this ball, Mr. Cui Wenkang, came over to welcome them.
"Old Madame Su, it's great that you can come. Welcome, welcome!"
There were many people from the Su family. A group of people went over to greet each other. After a long time, Yu Xiaowen was a junior and a stranger. Naturally, she was the last.
"This is?" Cui Wenkang pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked curiously at Yu Xiaowen, who was beside Su Qiyang. He naturally knew some insider information from his son and roughly guessed who it was.
It was just that this was a social occasion. It was the first time she had made an appearance, so it was not convenient for him to directly reveal her identity. It was better for the Su family to do it on its own. It was also an opportunity to acknowledge Yu Xiaowen's status in the Su family in the future. After all, there were many people who wanted to know about this!
The Su family's expression was different. Only Old Madame Su was calm and composed. She said faintly: "This is my granddaughter-in-law. Today is the first time I have met everyone. Wen Kang, it's natural that you don't know him. Xiaowen, quickly call him Uncle Wen Kang!"
Yu Xiaowen immediately obediently copied Wen Kang and politely smiled. She shouted, "Hello Uncle Wen Kang!"
"Yes, not bad, not bad. It is indeed a husband and wife!" Cui Wenkang seemed to be very satisfied and nodded. His head quickly changed the topic. He squatted down and touched Yu Tong's head lovingly. He said, "Then this must be your great-grandson!"
There was no need for Old Madame Su to say anything. Yu Tong nodded proudly and said, "Yes, that's me!"
His cute answer made everyone laugh. The atmosphere of politeness and restraint was swept away.
"Old lady, you are really lucky!" Cui Wenkang patted Yu Tong's head with praise, and all of them said enviously. He could have had a grandson, but unfortunately, he lost it accidentally.
Cui Shaohao and Wang Yalu's faces were also covered with a layer of sadness.
Wang Yalu's child had an abortion before. Yu Xiaowen knew the reason. It was because Su Qiyang had told her about the family struggles.
However, their relationship was not that close. She only felt sorry for her in her heart and did not find a chance to comfort her.
Cui Wenkang felt that the atmosphere was a little strange and felt that it had changed to a relaxed expectation. He said, "Old lady, the banquet is about to begin. I'll bring you in. It's cold outside. "
"Yes!" Old Madame Su nodded in a reserved manner. She held Yu Tong's hand and walked at the front.
It could be seen that among everyone, the one with the highest status was still the little guy.
From the beginning to the end, Zhao Weier had been neglected. She was very depressed. Sure enough, it was the world of the rich. People like them who disdained to befriend.
Yu Xiaowen felt that her pressure was a little low and touched her arm without batting an eyelid. After attracting her attention, she smiled at her.
Zhao Weier understood her good intentions and also smiled at her.
They walked at the back together with Su Qiyang. So only they themselves knew about these little tricks.
Su Qiyang lowered his voice and said, "We will have more small talk after we go in. If you feel uncomfortable, you can play by yourself. Remember to tell us when you leave. "
He had told Zhao Weier that the main purpose of attending this ball was to introduce Yu Xiaowen to his social circle. He could not miss her.
The reason why he could be so considerate to Zhao Weier was because she had helped him a lot. Moreover, she was Yu Xiaowen's friend.
The banquet hall was a western kind of social dance hall. It had meticulously decorated and repaired the stage and the dance floor. On the stage, there was an unknown band playing Blues Music. Even if one could not understand it, one could feel the laziness and satisfaction.
A huge and exquisite crystal chandelier hung from the top of the dance floor. The light shone through the crystal, and through the light blue velvet curtain, the large dance floor was decorated in a deluxe and luxurious manner. There were men and women standing on the dance floor, whispering to each other. They were dressed extravagantly, and their jewelry was exquisite. All of them exuded a unique aura that belonged to the upper class.
The appearance of the people from the Su family seemed to be naturally accompanied by a spotlight. All eyes were focused on them. Some were curious, some were probing, and some wanted to see a joke. . .
Zhao Weier finally understood why Su Qiyang wanted to remind her. Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, she really could not take it anymore and quickly slipped away by herself.
When she left, Yu Xiaowen noticed that she also wanted to slip away with her in her heart. Those people's gazes instead of looking at the Su family, it would be more accurate to say that they were all looking at her. She felt like she was like a celebrity who was the center of attention, but the thoughts of these people were different.
Their appearance was warmly welcomed and those people took turns to ask questions as if they had agreed. While Yu Xiaowen sighed at the influence of the Su family in Rongcheng, she could not help but admire Old Madame Su in her heart.
She felt that the old man was like a queen meeting her subjects. His aura was strong and gave her a lot of confidence. Her entire person was tense as she smiled at everyone who was curious about her.
The queen already had an old lady, so Yu Xiaowen secretly hinted in her heart that she was the future successor of the queen. She copied Old Madame Su's attitude of neither servile nor overbearing.
It had to be said that her way of doing things was quite funny. At least she left a good first impression on everyone. There were even many people who could not help but guess which wealthy family she was because of her estranged attitude and temperament. She was a socialite with perfect family education.
A round of greetings from the upper class. After that, Yu Xiaowen was extremely tired. When Old Madame Su and the others were invited by the previous generation, Yu Tong was also taken away. Su Qiyang immediately pulled her and asked Cui Shaohao to find a place for them to rest.
Cui Shaohao said very well.
He found them a very good resting area, and the others did not dare to go near it.
Once Yu Xiaowen sat down, he did not hide his concern at all. He gave her water and massaged her shoulders.
Cui Shaohao pulled Wang Yalu to sit across from him and could not help but tease, "I say, Su Qiyang, is there a need for you? It's just that you stood a little longer and said a few more words? If you don't know, I thought your wife just finished the triathlon! "
Su Qiyang rolled his eyes at him. He turned around and said softly to Yu Xiaowen," Let's ignore him! "
That pampering tone, Cui Shaohao directly called her spicy eyes!
Yu Xiaowen was a little embarrassed. But it was not because of Cui Shaohao's teasing. She had already seen this guy's behavior of not hurting people and not being comfortable with him. She had already completely learned how to ignore Su Qiyang's way of doing things.
Her face was red because the rest area was open to the public. Although few people came close, everyone could see this side. She saw many people pointing at this side and whispering to each other.
"I'm not that delicate!" Yu Xiaowen said in a low voice. She did not understand his tone and pushed away his hand that was about to massage her legs. Even though Su Qiyang did not care about this, she made him become the topic of conversation before and after tea.
Su Qiyang seemed to have seen what was in her heart and said, "It's okay!"
Wang Yalu watched the interaction between the two with envy and could not help but say, "Xiaowen, I really did not think that you could do so well. Unlike me, when I was introduced to Cui Shaohao's relatives back then, I was so scared that my legs went soft. "
Yu Xiaowen's face turned a little red again as she said, "Actually, I was also scared that my legs went soft and I kept holding on. "
Wang Yalu thought that she was being modest and did not mind. She continued, "How does it feel to be surrounded by stars? Before you came, almost half of the people were talking about you. Now, I reckon there are even more people talking about you!"
Yu Xiaowen felt a little helpless. She thought that they would definitely not discuss any good things. What did she feel?
Before she could think about it, she saw the people who had just met walk over. Most of them were people from the Li family and the Jun family, as well as Cui Shaohao's elder sister and others. There were also a few disciples from outside the four big families. Yu Xiaowen did not know the others, but there was one person she wanted to meet there, so she paid special attention to him.
She stood up together with Su Qiyang and listened to the small talk between Su Qiyang and Cui Shaohao. From time to time, she would nod and respond to him. She heard that the man's name was Lu Ziang.
Lu Ziang?
Yu Xiaowen frowned and thought for a while. Suddenly, a Su Qiyang junior's face flashed in her mind.
Strange!
Thinking about it, It seemed like she had not seen Muh Qing in a long time. Didn't this girl like to appear in front of Su Qiyang?
She admitted that no one was paying attention to her. She secretly pulled Su Qiyang's sleeve and whispered to him, "This Lu Ziang, have I seen him before? What does he have to do with Muh Qing? I haven't seen your junior in a long time. Is she back in France?"
