Chapter 39 Crisis! Qianqian is taken away!
After the speeches, everyone stood up to congratulate the old lady on her birthday. The Lu family members cut the cake together on stage, and the old lady smiled kindly.
After that, naturally, it was time to eat.
After eating for a while, Lu Qianqian was forcibly taken by Lu Kai to offer a toast, and the person she went straight to was naturally Old Madam Lu.
Rong Changqing happened to be at this table as well. The two glanced at each other and exchanged flirtatious glances.
"Madam, congratulations!" Lu Kai said with a fawning smile. "This is my daughter, Lu Qianqian."
Out of courtesy, Lu Qianqian also congratulated the old lady on her birthday: "Old Madam, I wish you boundless happiness and longevity."
The old lady maintained a kind smile throughout her appearance. When she saw Lu Qianqian, she simply smiled politely, without any other expression.
For a fleeting moment, she felt that the old woman's eyes were not smiling at all.
Lu Yunxi also noticed the awkwardness, and took the initiative to help her grandmother, saying, "Grandma, Qianqian is also my cousin."
The old lady doted on her eldest grandson, patting his hand with a smile: "Our Lu family is so large, you have hundreds of sisters, how could I possibly remember them all?"
Alright, what they mean is that there are more girls than passersby, so there's no need to emphasize it.
Lu Qianqian forced a smile. After all, such a large family had a history of hundreds of years. In the past, men had three wives and four concubines, and there were too many concubines. Now, it was quite normal for them to have hundreds of sisters.
Fortunately, she didn't care. After all, the kinship between the Lu family and their main family was too weak, so it was normal for them to look down on her.
At this moment, another wealthy woman at the table spoke up, her tone quite reproachful: "Yunxi, really, this is your grandmother's birthday banquet, how could you invite such shady people here?"
To embarrass her in public was something Lu Qianqian never expected, and what's more, the person who did it was Rong Changqing's stepmother!
Grandma Lu didn't say anything, still smiling kindly, but by not speaking, she was essentially admitting to the statement.
It seems her infamy has already spread throughout the four major families.
Rong Changqing spoke coldly, his displeasure written all over his face: "Indecent or nonsensical? Is Aunt Lu talking about yourself?"
"You've gone too far!" Lu Yalan slammed her hand on the table and scolded Rong Changqing, "How dare you speak like that?"
"Alright, it's time for the banquet, Madam. Stop fooling around." Rong Changqing's father, Rong Zhenhua, stopped Lu Yalan.
The old lady looked displeased, clearly unhappy that Rong Changqing had embarrassed her daughter in public.
Lu Yunxi also felt a headache coming on from this, and could only let Lu Qianqian leave for the time being.
Lu Qianqian nodded and forcibly pulled Lu Kai away. The relationships within these upper-class families were too complicated; she was somewhat bewildered.
Lu Yalan's face turned pale with anger. She adopted the demeanor of an elder and lectured Lu Yunxi: "Be more careful when inviting people in the future. Don't bring just anyone and ruin everyone's mood."
Lu Yunxi shook her head helplessly, but her attitude was firm: "Auntie, that's my friend!"
Lu Yalan scoffed, "Does someone like that deserve to be someone's friend? She's filthy; aren't you afraid of tarnishing your reputation?"
Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud "smash," and Rong Changqing smashed his wine glass, stood up, and turned to leave.
Everyone at the table was stunned. Rong Zhenhua roared, "Come back!"
However, Rong Changqing ignored him completely and left directly.
Lu Yalan sneered: "Look at what you've spoiled me into all these years. I have no manners or upbringing at all."
"Shut up," Rong Zhenhua hissed. "This is your mother's birthday party, stop making a scene."
Lu Yalan, however, did not feel that she had done anything wrong: "It is precisely because this is my mother's birthday party that I cannot let those shady people in and spoil the atmosphere."
Rong Zhenhua was absolutely furious with her.
……
Meanwhile, Lu Qianqian was also driven crazy by Lu Kai.
He returned from the main table and began nagging her incessantly: "Look at the mess you've made! You've upset the lady of the house, haven't you? You've ruined all the connections I've worked so hard to build. You're practically a jinx to my parents!"
Lu Qianqian stopped abruptly, looking at him in disbelief: "What did you say?"
Lu Kai was furious: "They say you're a jinx to your mother and father! You might as well kill your husband too, so you can inherit the estate sooner!"
Lu Qianqian suddenly clenched her fists, speaking slowly and deliberately, her voice filled with deep sorrow: "Have you forgotten how my mother died?"
Lu Kai was stunned, only then realizing what he had accidentally said.
"Fine, I'll bring you bad luck." With a light laugh, Lu Qianqian felt the last shred of family affection gone. "If it weren't for me, would you have been able to get in here? If it weren't for me, would you have these so-called connections? Now you blame me? What a joke!"
Lu Kai frowned, feeling that this was not the place to cause trouble: "Let's go back and talk about it."
“Go back?” Lu Qianqian’s eyes were slightly red. “Ever since Xu Rushi entered the family, that place has no longer been my home. Since you say I’m a jinx to you, then from now on, we will sever our father-daughter relationship.”
After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Lu Kai fuming behind her.
After walking a short distance, she suddenly felt her vision blur, her legs went weak, and she collapsed.
Behind her, Zhang Shengqin caught her with lightning speed, turned around and carried her to the fourth-floor room.
Now, he's going to make Lu Qianqian submit to him and see if she dares to cause trouble again!
In the distance, Rong Wanru hid behind the door, quietly watching Zhang Shengqin lead Lu Qianqian into the fourth-floor guest room, her eyes filled with malice.
Row!
Today she's going to ruin Lu Qianqian's reputation.
He immediately took out his phone and ordered, "I need you to bring President Peng to Sihai Pavilion as quickly as possible!"
Meanwhile, Rong Changqing couldn't find Lu Qianqian anywhere.
"Boss, we haven't seen Madam." Hongzhong had searched the entire venue but couldn't find Lu Qianqian.
Fa Cai, blushing, appeared before Rong Changqing and whispered, "I've searched all the women's restrooms, but I can't find Madam..."
He lost at rock-paper-scissors and was forced to find the women's restroom, which was too embarrassing.
Rong Changqing narrowed his eyes, looking at the phone in his hand, but the call wouldn't go through.
"Something happened?" Lu Yunxi also came over, and seeing his appearance, she knew something was wrong.
Rong Changqing nodded, a cold glint appearing in his eyes: "Qianqian is missing."
"Gone?" Lu Yunxi was taken aback. "Could it have left?"
"Even if we leave, the phones won't be turned off!" Rong Changqing ordered directly, "Immediately investigate the surveillance footage of Sihai Pavilion, and check every single guest room!"
Hongzhong and Facai: "Yes!"
