Bind to the collection system, I became a national treasure
Chapter 33: The Grand Dinner
"Long time no see, Ange."
"Ah Fangzi, it's been several years, I need to have a drink later."
"Brother Yuan, you're here too. Come on, please go first."
.....
At the entrance of the central villa area.
While greeting the guests who came to the dinner, Lu An was looking forward to the way in. When he finally saw Bai Xi's license plate car slowly driving in, his face suddenly lit up with joy and he hurried to greet it.
The car door opened, and Bai Xi, wearing a white dress, gently held Xiao Rui's arm and got out of the car. After seeing Bai Xi's look tonight, Lu An couldn't help but be a little surprised, but then a hint of heat flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Her long hair reaches her waist and is braided at both temples. The overall hairstyle is simple yet exquisite. Blue teardrop-shaped earrings hang on her small earlobes. Her already outstanding appearance is even more stunning after careful makeup. There is a smile between her eyebrows, and her collarbone is slender. A diamond pendant is inlaid on it, like a work of art.
A pure white dress outlines her perfect figure, the hem of the dress is covered with a layer of lace, and a pair of crystal shoes are shining under the skirt. She is walking towards him gracefully.
There is no beauty in Qianqiu, and she is a beautiful woman.
Lu An suddenly understood the meaning of these two lines of poetry in his mind, so much so that he was a little stunned. It was not until Bai Xi waved his hand in front of him that he reacted.
"Mr. Lu?"
"Ahem, Miss Bai, every time I meet you, it's a surprise. I almost didn't recognize you."
Lu An coughed twice to cover up his gaffe, and then led Bai Xi inside, while Xiao Rui and the bodyguard stayed in the car waiting.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Lu? I was wondering why you've been here for so long without going in. It turns out you have a beautiful lady waiting for you.
Beautiful lady, may I know you?"
"Li Xiaoduo, you'd better get out of here as far as you can. Don't force me to beat you in public."
An inappropriate and frivolous voice came from the side. Bai Xi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man whose appearance could only be described as flirty winking at her.
Bai Xi frowned, and Lu An obviously recognized the visitor. He frowned and replied, then continued to walk inside with Bai Xi.
Li Xiaoduo obviously rarely saw Lu An like this. He watched Lu An and Bai Xi walk to the banquet area in silence, with a strange look in his eyes, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
......
Under Lu An's guidance, Bai Xi entered the main area of the banquet. After Lu An's introduction along the way, she had some understanding of the banquet.
This dinner was initiated by several young masters from the top families in Beijing, namely the Li family, the Ye family, and the Lu family. Its main purpose was to allow the young generation of wealthy aristocrats to get to know each other. Simply put, everyone had a meal together, got to know each other, and didn't want to miss each other if they bumped into each other outside in the future.
As for the Lu family, it has some connection with the Lu family where Lu An belongs. The Magic City Lu family where Lu An belongs is actually a branch of the Imperial Capital Lu family, but it has been independent for a long time. If it weren't for the outstanding young generation of Lu An, the Imperial Capital Lu family would not bother to contact their relatives.
As for Li Xiaoduo who was at the door just now, he is a member of the Li family. He is not a direct descendant, but he has always disliked Lu An, otherwise Lu An would not have spoken to him like that.
Bai Xi, who roughly understood the significance of this dinner, suddenly lost interest. Several young people from wealthy families were sworn brothers with each other, and it seemed that there was nothing for him to do here.
Forget it, now that things have come to this, let’s eat first.
Bai Xi walked around and came to the buffet area and started eating. She had only eaten one meal today and had been busy for so long in the afternoon that she was already hungry.
From the moment Bai Xi entered the banquet area, her outstanding appearance and temperament almost instantly became the focus of the boys present. It's not that they haven't seen celebrities before. On the contrary, several of the hottest female stars recently were promoted by them. It's just that Bai Xi's temperament is indeed much higher than other girls, and she is a stranger in this venue, so naturally she attracted their attention.
The reason why they could resist going up to chat with her was, on the one hand, because they were still waiting and watching, and on the other hand, because of Lu An who was now with her.
Lu An was afraid that Bai Xi would not be used to it, so he reluctantly said hello to the people he knew and hurried back. However, when he came back, he found Bai Xi eating heartily. He felt helpless and poured a cup of hot drink and handed it to him.
"Eat slowly. There are so many people here. Don't... huh?"
His original intention was to remind Bai Xi to pay attention to his image, after all, there were so many people present.
But after a closer look, I found that although Bai Xi eats very quickly, her movements are not awkward at all. There is no soup hanging from the corners of her mouth. The fork in her hand is like a musical instrument. There is a hint of pickiness in her eyebrows, like a gourmet...
Lu An suddenly remembered what his etiquette teacher had told him when he was a child, about the description of aristocratic biographies, in which there was a description like this -
In order to cope with certain occasions that are tedious, boring, full of fake smiles and scrutiny, and require a lot of physical strength and energy, but they have to participate in, they often start training the ability to eat quickly in their youth - to fill their stomachs in the shortest time while ensuring an elegant and decent posture.
So the real aristocrats we see in social occasions can chat while eating, and before you realize it, they are already full.
But because we were afraid of being rude and worried about our image, we had to go through the whole event on an empty stomach.
So afternoon tea became popular - the gap between lunch and dinner was too long, and we might not dare to eat at formal dinners.
......
Lu An also took etiquette classes for a long time when he was a child, but he had only seen Bai Xi's manners in a few people who could truly be called heirs of aristocratic families. For a moment, he became more determined in his thoughts.
There must be something behind Bai Xi!
Bai Xi didn't care what Lu An thought. She was eating happily. God knows what a physique that can't gain weight means to a girl who loves food. Anyway, she just wanted to eat as much as she wanted and eat what she didn't dare to eat before.
The young masters who had been watching for a long time finally couldn't help it. Li Xiaoduo and another young master who looked a little ugly walked towards them surrounded by other people.
"Mr. Lu, why don't you introduce her to us? Whose daughter is this? She looks unfamiliar."
"Miss Bai, this is Li Xiaoduo, this is Ye Jianren. This is Bai Xi, Miss Bai."
Lu An looked at the crowd coming over, weighed it over, and had to suppress his dissatisfaction and introduce them to them.
"Pfft... Bitch? What kind of nice person would call her that?!"
Bai Xi was also caught off guard and felt stabbed in the back. He couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Ye Jianren's face darkened, and his crooked face became even more distorted:
"Bai Xi? Someone from the Bai family? No, I know the Jiangdong Bai family's direct descendants and the more recent branches, but there's no one named Bai Xi among them.
You are not, are you just Lu An's mistress?"
Li Xiaoduo's expression relaxed when he heard this. As long as he wasn't someone he couldn't afford to offend, it didn't matter. His expression became even more frivolous:
"I was wondering why Master Lu was so protective of his son. It turns out he's a hidden gem in a golden house. But Master Lu, this is a wealthy family dinner. It's inappropriate for you to bring someone like this in, right?
Or do you want her to give us a performance to cheer us up?"
Bai Xi slowly put down the fork in his hand. Lu An's face darkened slightly. Just as he was about to explode, he heard a cry from behind the crowd:
"Bai Xi?!"
"Isn't that the new owner of Magic City Jiahui?"
