It's terrible. Mr. Lu is too clingy.

As we enter midsummer, the weather is getting hotter day by day.

Lu Ci also took advantage of the fact that he had control over her body. His pajamas became cooler day by day, and he would seduce her every night.

Xie Xingran thought bitterly that she would throw away all those clothes when she changed them back!

There was no way she could wear it anyway.

He thought so, but his words were not as good as his actions. Xie Xingran was seduced by Lu Ci every night.

Lu Ciye often spoke nonsense without any control, and in order to shut him up, Xie Xingran always sealed his lips with a kiss.

The days passed quickly as the two of them spent time together.

On this day, Venus Group celebrated its fifth anniversary.

As the boss's "sister", Lu Ci naturally had to attend, while Xie Xingran attended as the boss's "brother-in-law".

The two families wanted to take this opportunity to let both of them show off so that they would not be looked down upon by people who were not tactful in the future.

With the support of the Lu family, the business reception held by Venus Group was very grand, and many well-known people in the industry attended.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Xie Xingran and Lu Ci also attended in their best attire.

Together with Wang Jinge, the three of them attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

After the applause and cheers, the cocktail party officially began. The guests elegantly interacted with each other in the spacious banquet hall, introducing their respective connections and resources and looking for opportunities for common development.

Lu Ci didn't like this kind of banquet either, but he had to keep smiling and move around with Xie Xingran.

Fortunately, Xie Xingran has a good alcohol tolerance, so he doesn't have to worry about getting drunk.

As Mr. Lu, Xie Xingran had been protected by Mrs. Lu for a period of time, and everyone knew that Mr. Lu did not drink.

With his status, few people would force him.

But there are just some old guys who can't see their place clearly and want to take advantage of their seniority.

"Mr. Lu." A fat man came over with his female secretary and chatted with him as if they were acquaintances.

"Oh, you've grown up so much. I saw you before when I was talking to your dad about work. That was when you just came to me."

The fat man gestured at his waist as he spoke. He was short, so the gesture seemed a bit tall at first glance, but in fact, Lu Ci was probably only four or five years old at that time.

"Your dad always took you with him wherever he went. You could tell he loved you so much. Do you still remember Uncle Li?"

[Everyone knows that I, Lu Ci, am also doted on by my family. Why are you saying this here?]

Lu Ci also rolled his eyes secretly.

The look that man gave him when he walked over just now made him very unhappy.

Now you dare to bring up his dad in front of him, who will remember you?

Xie Xingran recognized him. He was Mr. Li, who was in the real estate business and was a well-known figure in the industry.

However, I heard that he kept eighteen mistresses outside. His wife at home had supported him all the way, but in the end he despised her because she was old and ugly.

Xie Xingran looked down upon such people.

She just watched him calmly and didn't say anything in response to his conversation.

When Lu Ci was a child, he was also doted on by his father. Old Madam Lu had told her about it a long time ago, in much more detail than what Mr. Li said.

And judging from Lu Ciye's inner voice, he also dislikes this person.

Then she doesn't need to give him face.

Seeing her expression was dull, Mr. Li felt a little embarrassed, so he took the initiative to toast:

"Mr. Lu, I toast to you."

Xie Xingran didn't move, just smiled: "Sorry, Mr. Li, I don't know how to drink."

Mr. Li laughed awkwardly twice, then turned to look at Lu Ciye beside her: "I heard that Madam Lu is a good drinker, why don't you do it for Mr. Lu?"

He did drink for Xie Xingran just now.

But those were people he respected. As for the person in front of him, he was obviously not worthy of his respect.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I have an upset stomach. I'm afraid I can't drink it for my husband. You should drink it yourself."

Mr. Li was completely embarrassed and his expression darkened. "It seems that Madam Lu looks down on me, Li?"

Lu Ci also shrugged: "I don't have any."

The female secretary beside Mr. Li saw this, her eyes turned, and she came forward with a drink in her hand:

"Oh~ Madam Lu, why don't you give our Mr. Li some face and just drink a little."

The female secretary's breasts were exposed a little too much, and Xie Xingran wanted to stop her, but his hand was almost rubbed by her breasts.

Lu Ci also pushed her hand away so that he didn't touch her.

But in this way, the female secretary's evil plan succeeded, and half a glass of red wine was spilled directly on Lu Ciye.

"Oh! Sorry, sorry!" The female secretary pretended to make a mistake and reached out to wipe his skirt.

Lu Ci was also wearing a red dress today and a ruby around his neck. He was very satisfied with his outfit.

Now that his life was ruined by a glass of red wine, he became furious.

He angrily pushed the female secretary away and threw her to the ground.

"Get out of here! You're sick."

The female secretary was stunned for a moment, then sat on the ground and cried pitifully:

"I'm so sorry, Madam Lu, I really didn't mean it. Please don't embarrass our President Li because of this."

The noise got louder and everyone stopped talking and looked over.

Xie Xingran's face darkened. He took off his coat and put it on Lu Ciye, looking at the person on the ground with sharp eyes.

Lu Ciye: "I'll go wash first, you take care of this."

Xie Xingran said in a gentle voice: "Okay, go quickly and come back soon."

When he turned around again, Mr. Li was already lecturing someone: "Look at you, why don't you be more careful? What if you offend Madam Lu?"

Female secretary: "Wow, I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I really didn't mean it."

Xie Xingran rarely saw them acting, so he said directly:

"Mr. Li, it seems your secretary is really thinking about you. My wife just had a stomachache and didn't want to drink, but you think my wife looks down on you, and your secretary is even more eager to stand up for you.

What? Are you afraid that others won't know you've relied on women to get to the top? In the business world, whether someone is respected or not is proven by strength, not by whether they drink a glass of wine or give you face. Mr. Li has been in the business world for so long, but he doesn't seem to have realized this yet."

Mr. Li was so angry that his face turned blue, but he dared not say anything and could only vent his anger on his secretary.

He kicked the person on the ground hard and turned to leave the banquet.

The female secretary was kicked and had to lift her skirt and chase after the man in embarrassment.

Xie Xingran looked at them indifferently, then said gently to everyone:

"It's just a small accident, don't worry about it, the party will continue."

After saying that, she turned around and went to find Lu Ci.

On the other side, Lu Ci was also scrubbing his skirt at the sink when he unexpectedly saw a waitress.

"Xie Xingran." The waitress called her.

Lu Ci also looked at her in confusion, "Who are you?"

Zhong Yilin was incredulous, and then said contemptuously, "What? You lost your memory like Xu Yanqiu? You don't even recognize me? Didn't you claim to hate me?"
