Female-to-male: I live on farming

Lu Youqing instructed in such a gentle voice, and Qin Ke naturally nodded obediently.

However, she knew that she was not the protagonist of the banquet, so she naturally gave up her seat to Lu Si Ning. After entering the venue, she found a seat in a corner and quietly admired Lu Youqing.

She was wearing an off-shoulder dress tonight, which was slim-fitting and showed off her graceful curves. The one-shoulder design and floor-length skirt made her a sight of elegance and nobility as soon as she stepped out.

Lu Si Ning, who she was holding, was also wearing an evening dress of the same color, with her hair tied up high, looking dignified and noble. When she smiled, only the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes showed some traces of time.

Lu Si Ning brought Lu Youqing to entertain and make friends.

Qin Ke naturally didn't know most of the people present, she only knew that they were either rich or noble. She found a quiet corner to eat and drink, and basically no one noticed her, so she was happy to be alone.

However, Qin Ke's hand holding the champagne paused slightly, as she actually saw an acquaintance in the crowd.

It was this old gentleman who had insisted on playing chess with Lu Youqing in the community. He had changed his usual old man attire and dressed very formally. A woman who looked somewhat similar to him was holding his arm.

Qin Ke guessed that should be his daughter, and they were talking to Lu Youqing and the others there.

"When I first saw this girl, I thought she looked familiar. Now that I see you here today, I finally remember who she looks like."

Li Zhengchong was also surprised to see Lu Youqing here, but he quickly reacted and stepped forward to talk.

"Youqing, have you met him?" Lu Si Ning was also a little surprised.

"Mr. Li and I live in the same neighborhood and we once played chess together."

Later, when Lu Youqing became busy, they played chess less often.

"That's fate, Youqing. Let me formally introduce you. Teacher Li was once my teacher, so he can be considered your elder."

Lu Youqing smiled slightly and nodded slightly to Li Zhengchong: "Hello, Uncle Li."

"Your daughter is no ordinary woman. She is a successor to your family." Li Zhengchong praised.

When he taught Lu Si Ning, he was already amazed at her intelligence. Now, Lu Youqing can be said to be even better than his teacher.

"Your daughter is pretty good too. I heard she's doing well recently." When someone praised her daughter, Lu Si Ning was naturally happy and they complimented each other.

"Alas, she is far from that..." Li Zhengchong glanced at his daughter with a little disdain.

While the two elders were praising each other for their business, Li Jingya was looking at Lu Youqing with great interest. Her mother was right. She was an extremely beautiful and outstanding woman.

"Hello, I'm Li Jingya. I've heard my father mention you before, and he was full of praise for you." Li Jingya took the lead in extending her hand with a smile on her face.

"Uncle Li, you're exaggerating." Lu Youqing placed his fingertips on her hand and gently held it.

As they were chatting, a man and a woman came towards them at the door. The man was wearing a neat dark suit, a simple white shirt and a crisp tie. The young girl in a light pink dress with her long hair tied up high took his arm and they walked slowly towards them.

The man was modest, smiling, and walked gracefully, showing good upbringing. The girl looked to be in her early twenties, with a noble temperament, but there was some reluctance between her eyebrows.

The guests who recognized the two looked over.

Qin Ke also looked at the two people. Although she had never seen them, she had seen their photos in the information sent by Lu Si Ning.

Even if he had never seen them, Qin Ke could guess their identities from their similar outlines to Lu Si Ning.

Lu Nanqi brought Lu Nanyan and walked straight to Lu Si Ning, bowed his head and said meekly: "Aunt, I brought Nanyan here to congratulate you."

Although Lu Nanyan didn't like Lu Youqing, she was always in awe of Lu Si Ning. She stood in front of her and called her in a low voice, "Aunt."

Lu Si Ning sighed slightly, raised her hand and touched Lu Nanyan's head, and said softly: "You are thoughtful."

After all, she was a child he had raised since childhood. Before meeting Youqing, Lu Si Ning thought that he would never have children in his life, and he almost regarded her as half a daughter.

"Sister Youqing, this is a gift from Nan Yan and I to you. I hope you can take care of me in the future." Lu Nanqi handed the jewelry box in his hand to her.

He also gently pulled Lu Nanyue.

Although Lu Nanyan tried her best to act normal under the gaze of her aunt and her brother, there was still rejection and displeasure in her eyes.

She lowered her head and called out, "Sister."

The sound was barely audible.

Lu Youqing smiled slightly, and could see that she disliked her, but people like this were superficial in their emotions and had no ulterior motives, so it was easy to guess.

Besides, she believed that the person her mother loved was not a person with bad intentions. She heard that she had not yet graduated from college and was just a child vying for favor.

Naturally, Lu Youqing wouldn't bother with her.

Everyone in the business community knew that Lu Nanqi was being trained as the heir to the Dongsheng Group. Lu Si Ning had never refuted this, so everyone thought that he was the definite next person in power.

Who would have thought that an unknown stranger would suddenly appear, not only win Lu Si Ning's favor, but also be adopted as her adopted daughter so formally and with such fanfare.

He helped her make connections and valued her very much, making it clear that he was training her to be his successor.

In the future, won’t this adopted daughter of Dongsheng be competing against Lu Nanqi?

It is said that Mr. Lu is against this adopted daughter. So, is it their own idea or Mr. Lu's idea that Lu Nanqi and Lu Nanyue come to congratulate today?

No one showed it on their faces, but their thoughts were secretly changing.

At least no one thought that Lu Nanqi came here to sincerely congratulate them.

Soon, Mrs. Huo also entered with her only son, Huo Liting.

Qin Ke narrowed her eyes as she looked at the man's tall and broad back. Her intuition told her that there was something unusual in the way the man looked at Lu Youqing.

Qin Ke knew that someone as outstanding as Lu Youqing would attract the favor of others. The forum at Dongcheng University and the man who talked to her while shopping were both precedents.

The appearance of those people only made Qin Ke angry and jealous, because she knew that those people were far inferior to her.

But in front of this person, Qin Ke felt a sense of crisis.

With such a background, such superior appearance, and outstanding temperament and cultivation, perhaps they are all superior to Qin Ke.

Those were the elites that Qin Ke had only seen in business magazines in the past.

"That's Mr. Huo, right? He's here too. Doesn't he rarely attend events like this?"

"Haven't you heard that at the charity dinner, Miss Lu presented a calligraphy work on the spot, and it was finally photographed by Mr. Huo."

"Are you saying that there is a possibility of marriage between the Huo and Lu families?"

……

The discussions around her ears made Qin Ke very upset. She looked at the people standing in the center of the banquet, lowered her eyes silently, and felt inferior.
