Mr. Gu's little darling is incredibly cool!

Tang Meng parked the car at the entrance.

Not long after Lu Qingyun got out of the car, Tang Meng had already helped Gu Jinming out.

"Master Jin."

The butler at the door raised a slight brow when he saw the distinctive wheelchair.

He hurried forward to greet him.

"Come inside quickly, it's windy outside, Master Jin, don't catch a chill."

The housekeeper then offered to help push the wheelchair.

Lu Qingyun caught the wheelchair before he could, and smiled slightly, "I'll take care of it."

"Oh, well, this must be Mrs. Gu. My apologies, I didn't notice you just now."

The disdain in the butler's eyes was obvious even to others, let alone Lu Qingyun.

Besides, how could anyone not notice such a big, living person standing here?

Lu Qingyun wasn't angry; she simply pushed Gu Jinming inside.

Just as the butler let out a soft snort, Lu Qingyun's unhurried voice came over.

"The housekeeper is probably getting old. He should see a doctor soon to get his eyesight checked, otherwise other illnesses might develop at the same time, don't you think?"

Lu Qingyun's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but just loud enough for all the surrounding guests to hear.

The butler clenched his fists, his eyes dark and gloomy, but he couldn't lose his temper in front of everyone. In a single breath, he suppressed the gloom in his eyes.

When he looked up again, there was no trace of his previous behavior on his face, but his voice was almost clenched through gritted teeth as he said, "Yes, Mrs. Gu is right, thank you for your concern."

"polite."

Lu Qingyun casually tossed out two words and pushed Gu Jinming into the hall.

A muffled laugh came from the wheelchair.

"What are you laughing at?"

Lu Qingyun raised an eyebrow.

Gu Jinming straightened his collar, revealing his fair neck, which appeared even whiter than usual under the crystal chandelier in the hall.

"You really don't want to suffer any loss."

Lu Qingyun's eyebrows and eyes were full of unrestrained arrogance, without any attempt to hide it, "Brother, I'm not a pushover either."

elder brother?

What's with this greedy little brat yelling?

But that "brother" sounded strangely nice, especially if you added a reduplicated word...

Pooh!

What is he thinking?

"Master Jin, Old Master Huang is waiting for you inside."

When the maid saw Gu Jinming and his group enter, she jogged over and gestured for them to enter.

Lu Qingyun pushed Gu Jinming and followed the servants to the center of the banquet.

Their arrival attracted a lot of attention.

Most people held Gu Jinming in high esteem and dared not look at him recklessly.

Only a few people glanced at Lu Qingyun beside him with curious eyes.

After all, this girl from the countryside has caused quite a stir since she married into the Gu family.

Especially the Ye family member, because the video that Lu Qingyun showed to the guests at the Yuan family that time was enough to make Ye Shan lose face, to the point that she still doesn't dare to go out.

Unexpectedly, this newly arrived Mrs. Gu was quite capable and not as easy to bully as she seemed.

Gu Jinming coughed a few times, his dark eyes sweeping lightly across the crowd.

In an instant, the few gazes that had been scrutinizing Lu Qingyun disappeared.

"Young Master Gu, it's been a long time. How are you feeling?"

Old Huang came to greet them, followed by a man in his forties. The undisguised arrogance in his eyes caught Lu Qingyun's attention.

Mr. Huang is around sixty years old. Although his hair is gray, he is still very healthy because he has been exercising regularly. He walks with a brisk pace.

Gu Jinming nodded slightly, his tone gentle and mild, showing none of the unpredictable nature he was rumored to have.

"Thank you for your care, Elder Huang. My health is better than it was a while ago."

Old Huang chatted with him for a few more minutes about his health before finally turning his attention to Lu Qingyun.

Actually, Old Huang noticed Lu Qingyun as soon as they came in. After all, he had known Gu Jinming for so long, and apart from his mother and Old Madam Gu, he had never seen anyone else help Gu Jinming push his wheelchair.

It seems that this young lady is quite popular with Young Master Gu.

"This must be Mrs. Gu. I've heard you know a bit about medicinal cuisine. I'll be making several of the dishes at the banquet later, so I'd appreciate your advice."

These were just polite words, so Lu Qingyun nodded casually.

Old Huang didn't care at all.

He figured that a young girl like her might only know a little about basic medicinal cuisine, and she couldn't possibly compare to him, who had studied it for decades. He figured he'd just do her a favor for Young Master Gu.

As they were talking, Old Huang led Gu Jinming and the others to the main seat, where many people came over to offer them tea.

Lu Qingyun sat down next to Gu Jinming and, seeing that he was quite busy, took out her phone and played a game out of boredom.

A few minutes later.

After finishing a game, she casually turned her gaze to her side.

A young man had sat down next to her at some point. He was also in his early twenties, and looked about the same age as Lu Qingyun. He was handsome with delicate features, thick eyebrows, and big eyes.

He was dressed in a custom-made outfit, his long legs tucked under the table in a pitiful manner. When he saw Lu Qingyun turn her gaze over, he frowned and couldn't help but speak up, "Hey? Why aren't you playing? You're pretty good at games. The way you use your skills is a bit like a pro player. Do you often play marksmen? Do you play assassins? Can you play with me? I'm pretty good at games too, and I'm not a burden at all."

Upon hearing his words, Lu Qingyun had only one thought in her mind.

This guy talks a lot, and he and Yuan Yu are quite a good match.

"You brat, what are you doing? This is Mrs. Gu, you can't be rude to her."

Old Huang's reproachful voice came over.

Huang Weiqi scratched his head, looking speechless. "I didn't do anything to her. I just asked her if she could play games with me."

Old Huang didn't listen to his grandson say much, but looked at Gu Jinming apologetically and said, "Young Master Gu, I'm really sorry. My grandson had an illness when he was a child. After he survived, we spoiled him a bit, which is why he is too straightforward."

Gu Jinming lowered his head and took a sip of the warm water beside him. From his tone, there was not a trace of displeasure in him.

"fine."

Old Huang muttered a few more words to Huang Weiqi, but the latter was clearly used to such talk, letting it go in one ear and out the other, continuing to do what he was doing.

"Here, this is the soup I just made. Everyone, please try it and give me your feedback."

The servant brought over a fragrant soup, and he greeted everyone with a smile.

The soup was fish soup, but the addition of some medicinal herbs enhanced its flavor, making it less fishy.

After tasting it, everyone praised the flavor.

Lu Qingyun also filled a bowl and took a few sips when Huang Weiqi wanted to grab the soup spoon, but because it was in a difficult position, he asked Lu Qingyun to help him scoop some more soup.

At this moment, Gu Jinming turned his gaze over slowly.

Huang Weiqi took it and said thank you, but the next second he felt as if the blood in his body had frozen.

He rubbed his arms, feeling utterly bewildered.

He thought to himself that the temperature wasn't low today either.
