Chapter 550: Chapter 548 Suddenly Felt Uncomfortable...
"Don’t just mention his desire to expand the industry domestically."
"Even if he said he wanted to expand his business to the moon, the house servants would probably dare not have any objections."
Lu Zhaozhao saw Xia Wenyan’s beautiful, sparkling peach blossom eyes and swallowed back the teasing words she was about to say, "I guess it’s Brother Pei."
The smile on Xia Wenyan’s face grew even brighter, "Indeed, this banquet was requested by Brother Pei, but... there will be a good show to watch, so do you want to go to the banquet and enjoy the excitement?"
Lu Zhaozhao didn’t think twice and nodded, "Yes, yes!"
She hadn’t ’eaten melons’ for a long time besides acting and visiting Song Sinian.
Now that Xia Wenyan mentioned it, of course, she was willing to join in the fun. 𝚗ov𝚙𝚞𝚋.c𝚘m
"Great, great, I will prepare the most dazzling evening gown for you, guaranteed to make you the star of the show!"
His sister, of course, had to be the most beautiful protagonist in the entire hall!
Lu Zhaozhao’s mouth twitched involuntarily as she reminded him, "Big Brother, if I remember correctly, this banquet is the Rimu Family’s domestic evening gala, right? Wouldn’t it be inappropriate for me to steal the show there?"
Xia Wenyan’s head immediately shook like a bobblehead, "How could that be? This banquet is just the perfect opportunity for people from the Rimu Family to see your status in the Rimu Family, to prevent any Tom, Dick, or Harry from bothering you!"
Whenever he brought it up, Xia Wenyan felt really annoyed.
That woman He Xintian dared to covet both his precious sister and Brother Pei!
Intolerable indeed!
"Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you." Lu Zhaozhao rarely saw Xia Wenyan so puffed up with ire, she couldn’t help but smile and ruffled his hair.
With such an adorable brother, how could she not love him?
On the day of the banquet, He Xintian dressed up elaborately to showcase her elegance in front of the Rimu Family Master.
Even the gown she wore was from a top-notch brand.
Though she wasn’t very famous, her father was rich.
If borrowing wasn’t an option, buying surely was.
A gown worth more than ten million that could only be worn a few times did pain He Wanshan.
But when he thought about his daughter possibly gaining the Rimu Family Master’s favor with this dress, he felt the money was well spent!
Thinking so, He Wanshan watched He Xintian, who was dressed to the nines and adorned in expensive jewelry, with a smile brimming in his eyes.
"Once we enter the banquet hall, you can’t fool around anymore, got it? This is the Rimu Family’s banquet, and we don’t know when the Family Head will appear, so you need to maintain a noble and elegant demeanor at all times, understand?"
He earnestly advised He Xintian by her side.
He had heard that the Family Head had not married yet and previously, people from both the Rimu and Feng Ya Families wanted to align through marriage, but the Rimu Family Master declined.
Later, Feng Ya Meizi drugged the Rimu Family Master directly, angering him, and as a result, Feng Ya Meizi lost her status as an heir.
This was a pretty significant blow to the Feng Ya Family.
Such a cunning man; if his daughter could latch onto his high branch, his future prospects would be limitless!
Whether his daughter could marry the Family Head, though, would depend on her own skills.
He believed that since his daughter had managed to charm so many handsome men in the entertainment industry, surely the Rimu Family Master would fall under her pomegranate skirt as well?
Thinking so, He Wanshan’s gaze towards He Xintian grew even more affectionate.
He Xintian, although she didn’t like He Wanshan’s nagging, upon thinking about the importance of this banquet, obediently nodded her head.
However, this obedience didn’t last five minutes before it fell apart upon seeing Lu Zhaozhao entering the banquet hall.
"Lu Zhaozhao!"
He Xintian suddenly shouted, then rushed forward, in her evening gown, to block the woman who had stopped in her tracks because of her shout.
Lu Zhaozhao turned her head to glance at He Xintian, her eyebrows involuntarily raising slightly, seemingly unsurprised to see her appear at this dinner.
After all, her elder brother’s intention was to embarrass the He Family father and daughter, and if they hadn’t attended, it would have been pointless.
He Xintian’s gaze sized up Lu Zhaozhao, whose dress was a dazzling gold that shimmered spectacularly on her, making it hard for one to look away.
Even though she was a woman, she couldn’t help but be attracted.
A beautiful and luxurious evening dress makes one look elegant and attractive, but on Lu Zhaozhao, it was she who made the dress appear even more luxurious.
There was this sense... that she made the evening gown seem unaffordable for others.
He Xintian couldn’t help but clench her teeth, unwilling to be outshone by Lu Zhaozhao.
She stared resentfully at Lu Zhaozhao, thinking of He Wanshan beside her, which suddenly gave her a confidence boost.
He Xintian’s chin lifted. "Why are you here? Do you even know that this banquet is hosted by the Rimu Family Master!?"
Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes blinked slightly, looking at her as if she were a fool. "Since you know this banquet is hosted by the Rimu Family Master, you should understand that it’s open to the Shangjing Circle business community, right? With my status, why would it be strange for me to be here?"
Her implication was clear.
At a banquet open to the Shangjing Circle business community, the attendees were generally well-known figures within that community.
As the owner of Song Group, a leading enterprise in the Shangjing Circle, didn’t she have the right to attend?
One could say that if she didn’t qualify, then nobody in the Shangjing Circle did.
Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes blinked lightly again, decisively confronting He Xintian with her status.
Since the last time she had struck He Xintian at the film studio, they should have already investigated her status.
So, Lu Zhaozhao wasn’t worried at all that they wouldn’t know who she was.
He Xintian clenched her teeth, just about to speak when He Wanshan held her back.
Usually, He Xintian could create trouble however she wanted, and he would not intervene, but this time it was at a business banquet prepared by the Rimu Family Master.
He didn’t want to give the Rimu Family Master a bad impression right from the start.
He Wanshan’s eyes sized up Lu Zhaozhao and when his gaze landed on her strikingly beautiful face, he was instantly mesmerized.
He had intended to deal with the person who bullied his daughter, but upon seeing the perpetrator’s attractiveness, he found himself swayed.
"Dad, she..."
He Xintian hadn’t finished speaking when she saw a familiar figure approaching.
"Zhaozhao, why are you walking so fast? Sinian he..." Xia Wenyan’s words halted abruptly upon spotting He Xintian next to Lu Zhaozhao.
He knew that the He family had received an invitation and would definitely attend the banquet, but he didn’t expect to bump into them right at the entrance.
Such bad luck!
Xia Wenyan’s disdain was visibly clear, which immediately irritated He Wanshan...
