Qu Zuo took Ji Yu directly to the study on the second floor to find Yuan Shenghe. As soon as they walked up the stairs, they ran into Qu Zuo's elder brother coming down from upstairs.

"Why are you here? Who is this?" Qu Zuo's elder brother stood on the steps and looked at them, then his eyes fell on Ji Yu.

I have no impression of having seen Ji Yu before. Not to mention Ji Yu's outstanding appearance, even if he looks ordinary, he will never forget him as long as he has seen him once.

"Brother, he is Sheng He's girlfriend, Ji Yu, and this is my eldest brother, Qu Wenlun." Qu Zuo introduced both parties.

Ji Yu's eyes flickered, "I thought your elder brother's name was Qu You."

Qu Zuo laughed, "You're not the first person to think so."

"You're almost 30, and you're still so noisy. When can you be more steady?" Qu Wenlun doesn't look as handsome as Qu Zuo. His facial features are more gentle, giving people a gentle, elegant and handsome feeling. When he frowns, he also has the aura of a patriarch.

He didn't seem surprised at all that Yuan Sheng had a partner.

"Sheng He just mentioned you to me. Are you here to see him?" His tone was gentle.

Ji Yu nodded, "Isn't he up there anymore?"

Qu Wenlun raised his hand and looked at his watch: "He went downstairs about ten minutes ago. He might have been tripped up by other things or people."

"Then let's look somewhere else. It might be nearby." Qu Zuo suddenly became very active. He grabbed Ji Yu's arm and hurried away.

Hearing Qu Wenlun say that Yuan Shenghe had left ten minutes ago, Ji Yu took out his cell phone and dialed Yuan Shenghe's number.

Ten minutes ago.

Yuan Shenghe finished his conversation with Qu Wenlun, came downstairs, took out his cell phone, but before he could make a call, a servant carrying a tray came out from the corner.

The tray hit him squarely, and the spilled red wine immediately spilled onto his suit on his chest.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The servant turned pale with fright and apologized hurriedly. He took out a handkerchief and helped Yuan Shenghe wipe the wine stains off his clothes.

"Let me wipe it for you."

"No need." Yuan Shenghe stretched out his hand to block it. "It's already dirty. There's no need to wipe it again."

"Sir, I didn't mean to do that. I'm really sorry. There is a dressing room on the second floor of the manor. How about I take you there to change your clothes?"

Yuan Shenghe glanced at him and asked, "Are you new here?"

The servant nodded awkwardly, "Yes."

"Go and mind your own business. I'll go by myself."

"Sir, do you really not need me to take you there?" The servant still looked worried.

"No need." Yuan Shenghe said that without caring what he thought. As he walked out, he called the driver and asked him to bring over another spare suit in the car.

The new servants might not be as familiar with the manor as he was.

This manor is where Old Master Qu has lived after his retirement. After my grandfather passed away, he came here less frequently.

The 90th birthday party was held in a side courtyard far away from the main building. When they were young, he and Qu Zuo often came here to play and were very familiar with every tree and blade of grass here.

The driver came quickly and delivered the clothes in less than five minutes.

Yuan Shenghe handed his changed clothes to the driver, went to the bathroom to wash off the wine stains on his hands, and then left the lounge.

There is a long corridor outside the lounge with several rooms on it, because this is a place specially open to guests to rest or deal with unexpected situations.

For example, if Yuan Shenghe's clothes are dirty, or the guests are drunk, everyone can come up to the second floor.

Therefore, when Yuan Shenghe saw Lu Xingchen, there was no surprise on his face. He just glanced at him and prepared to leave.

"Mr. Yuan, what a coincidence, I didn't expect we meet again. Um... can I ask you for a favor?" Lu Xingchen scratched his forehead lightly, seeming a little embarrassed.

"When I came up just now, I accidentally left my coat in one of the rooms. This place is so big and there are so many rooms that I am a little confused. I don't know which room it is. I don't dare to enter these rooms casually. What if there is someone inside?"

"For things like this, you should go to the servants of the manor instead of coming to me. I can't help you." Yuan Shenghe said and walked away.

This man is just as unkind as the rumors say.

This made Lu Xingchen, who had always been successful, feel a little unhappy.

But the more this happened, the more he wanted to take down Yuan Shenghe.

Now, he no longer just feels that Yuan Shenghe is the luckiest person in the world, he already has a desire to conquer him.

Moreover, it was a rare opportunity to be alone, especially in such a grand occasion, so how could he let it go easily?

In fact, I have tried to get close to Yuan Shenghe more than once in the past two months, but I have never found the opportunity.

The Lu family’s headquarters is in the capital, and they only have very small businesses in Yunhai City.

The last time he went to Yunhai City, he couldn't even find out Yuan Shenghe's itinerary, let alone meet him.

After much difficulty, he finally arrived in the capital. It was said that he would not stay here for long, so he had to hurry up and conquer Yuan Shenghe.

When Yuan Shenghe was about to walk past him, Lu Xingchen suddenly grabbed the hem of his suit.

Yuan Shenghe's face darkened slightly. He immediately pulled back his clothes and took two steps back to distance himself from him.

"What do you want to do?"

"Mr. Yuan, I know this request is a bit excessive. This is my first time attending such a large banquet. If it weren't for the fact that someone was staring at me and making me a little scared, I would never have made such a request to you."

Lu Xingchen lowered his head, and the buzzing sound revealed a bit of pity and hesitation.

"In this case, you should go to the Qu family. If someone dares to touch others at the birthday party, the Qu family will not let him go."

Lu Xingchen didn't look up, so he didn't notice that Yuan Shenghe's eyes were becoming increasingly gloomy and cold.

The Qu family is one of the largest families in the capital. No one would dare to harass other guests at the 90th birthday party of the old man of the Qu family.

"Then can you take me to the Qu family?"

Yuan Shenghe was about to refuse when he saw Lu Xingchen suddenly raise his head.

The corridor became dim as the sun went down, and the lights on the ceiling suddenly lit up.

A beam of white light from overhead fell right on Lu Xingchen, and his handsome face seemed to be covered with a hazy veil. In a trance, he seemed to see Ji Yu smiling at him, his eyes almost narrowed into a line, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth, which looked particularly sunny.

The indifference in Yuan Shenghe's eyes disappeared instantly, the sharp feeling given by his facial features suddenly softened, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved into an arc.

"Of course, if I don't take you, who else do you want to take you?"

Lu Xingchen vaguely felt that Yuan Shenghe seemed to have mistaken him for someone else, and his brows slightly frowned.

Forget it, now is not the time to dwell on this.

No matter who Yuan Shenghe thought he was, it showed that his golden finger also worked on him, and that was enough.

"Humph, that wasn't your attitude just now. You even gave me a cold face. I don't want to care about you anymore!" He turned his head pretending to be angry.

"It's my fault." Yuan Shenghe subconsciously reached for his hand. Suddenly, his cell phone rang. As it was right in his hand, he could see the caller's name on the screen at a glance.
