Chapter 8 Rong Wanru's Birthday Banquet
Villa No. 8 in the Imperial Palace is Rong Changqing's house.
However, apart from that, all twelve villas in the entire Imperial Palace upscale residential complex belong to Rong Changqing.
Bai Ban once said that as long as the boss is happy, they can take turns staying there from the 1st to the 12th.
It's now number eight's turn. I plan to live there for a year, and rent out the rest of the apartments, no matter the price. I won't sell them.
That evening, Lu Qianqian searched for Rong Changqing on Baidu.
Identity: Member of the Rong family, one of the four major families; Occupation: Vice President of Rong's Military Industry.
He is regarded by outsiders as a complete playboy, and the vice president is just a figurehead. The real power holder is Rong Ziqing, the eldest son of the Rong family.
However, according to the unintentional revelation on the whiteboard, Rong Changqing was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.
For example, no one in the capital would know that the Imperial Palace Villas in prime locations, which countless wealthy people dream of owning, all belong to Rong Changqing.
Just then, her phone rang. Lu Qianqian glanced at it casually, and her eyes lit up immediately, even showing some surprise.
WeChat messages——
Rong Wanru: I heard you married President Peng. Congratulations!
Lu Qianqian: Hehe.
Rong Wanru: Now that you've married into a wealthy family, your dream has come true. Aren't you happy?
Lu Qianqian: Hehe.
Rong Wanru: In a few years, when President Peng kicks the bucket and closes his eyes, you will become a real rich woman, something that others can only envy.
Lu Qianqian: Hehe.
Rong Wanru: Lu Qianqian, I know you're angry. Of course, life isn't ideal when you're married to an old man, but that's your fate, and you have to accept it. Besides, you still have some money. You shouldn't be too greedy.
Lu Qianqian: Hehe.
Rong Wanru: Alright, it's my birthday banquet next month. Now that you're Mrs. Peng, you're qualified to attend.
This time, Lu Qianqian didn't reply with a "hehe," but instead gave a direct and definite reply: "Okay, I'll do it."
Rong Wanru: Okay, I'll wait for you!
Lu Qianqian immediately locked her phone. This person got the news pretty quickly. Asking her to go to the birthday party was just a way to make fun of her in public.
But it's good, because she happens to have a big gift to give her.
A month is enough time to gather evidence.
……
One month later, in the Peony Hall of the Shengyuan Hotel, Rong Wanru's birthday banquet was held.
The Rong family, the Lu family, the Long family, and the Zhao family are collectively known as the four major families of China.
The Rong family's main business is military industry and they are a state-owned enterprise; the Lu family monopolizes the domestic tobacco industry; the Long family is the largest internet technology company in China; and the Zhao family dominates the domestic entertainment industry.
The four major families each dominated their own region, and were superior to others in terms of wealth, status, and position.
Rong Wanru is not a member of the main Rong family, but only a member of a collateral branch.
Even so, many prominent figures came.
Today, she deliberately dressed herself up like a little princess, enjoying the congratulations from those around her, while Zhang Shengqin stayed by her side to take care of her.
At this moment, a commotion arose at the entrance, and Lu Qianqian, dressed in a simple cheongsam, entered the hall with Qitiao.
Everyone in high society knows Lu Qianqian because her video is so famous.
In an instant, there was an uproar at the scene.
"Isn't this the internet celebrity female lead? She really has the nerve to show her face."
"Zhang Shengqin's ex, haha, I think we're in for some fun today."
"What is she doing here? Is she here to kidnap someone?"
"She dares to fight Rong Wanru, does she have a death wish?"
Upon hearing these words, Rong Wanru's smile widened even further. This was exactly the effect she wanted. She hadn't expected Lu Qianqian to be so foolish as to actually come.
She gave Lu Tingting a subtle look, and Lu Tingting understood and immediately went to shoo her away.
"Lu Qianqian, aren't you ashamed to come here?"
Lu Tingting felt contempt for this older sister. She had no father or mother to love her, so why did she put on such an arrogant act?
Every time I see her, I feel disgusted. I really want to stomp her head on the ground and humiliate her, to see what she's so smug about.
Lu Qianqian was not surprised at all to run into Lu Tingting here, the younger sister born to Rong Wanru's mistress. Over the years, Lu Tingting had always followed Rong Wanru around, currying favor and learning how to use her influence to her advantage.
Too lazy to pay attention to her, Lu Qianqian searched the crowd for Rong Wanru's figure.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you feeling guilty?" Lu Tingting persisted, standing firmly in front of Lu Qianqian and forcing her to look at her.
Lu Qianqian looked at her coldly and said softly, "I don't know anyone as noisy as you, with no manners or upbringing at all."
"you!"
Lu Tingting never expected that Lu Qianqian would not only be abandoned by Zhang Shengqin, but also release such a shameful video. She should have been too ashamed to show her face long ago. Why should she still pretend to be so high and mighty in front of her?
"Lu Qianqian, get out of here!"
"Lu Tingting, you've really grown some guts now." Lu Qianqian smiled faintly, not caring about the disdain and contempt in the eyes of the onlookers. "You dare to interfere at Rong Wanru's banquet?"
"You're talking nonsense, that's not true at all!"
Lu Tingting panicked instantly. She dared not let Wanru be angry; she still wanted to curry favor with her: "I just think you are not qualified to be here. I can smell a stench from you standing in front of me, polluting the entire banquet hall."
The seven beams of light suddenly sank, and their arms instantly rose.
Lu Qianqian pulled her back and shook her head slightly.
Qi Tiao then withdrew his hand, but glared fiercely at Lu Tingting.
Instantly, Lu Tingting felt a wave of palpitations wash over her, as if she were enveloped by an Arctic glacier, and she felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry: "Who, who are you? How dare you glare at me like that!"
"Tingting, what's going on?" Rong Wanru, having watched the show long enough, affectionately linked arms with Zhang Shengqin and walked out.
The crowd made way for them, and the two walked smoothly to Lu Qianqian.
Lu Tingting immediately stood next to Rong Wanru and complained, "This bitch is here and has really ruined your birthday banquet, Sister Rong. I wanted to get rid of her, but who knew she would be so shameless as to stay and instead bring you here."
Rong Wanru smiled sweetly, leaning her whole body towards Zhang Shengqin again, deliberately doing this for Lu Qianqian's benefit: "Guests are guests, how can you send them away?"
Lu Qianqian couldn't stand it anymore: "Lu Tingting, you call your own sister a slut and call someone else 'sister.' Your behavior is truly laughable."
Lu Tingting was naturally oblivious to her own stupidity, but apart from Lu Qianqian, everyone else at the scene was secretly laughing at her.
"Tingting and I have always been good friends, it's normal for her to call me 'sister,' you don't need to be so sarcastic," Rong Wanru said deliberately. "But you, why did you come alone? Is it President Peng?"
Lu Qianqian pursed her lips slightly.
Rong Wanru became even more smug: "President Peng is a bit old, but since he married you, you should take good care of him. That's what a wife should do."
The people around immediately burst into contemptuous laughter. Lu Qianqian's marriage to President Peng, who was old enough to be her grandfather, had made her a laughing stock in the elite circles. They would make fun of her even when she was eating or sleeping.
