In a secluded corner of the banquet hall.
"What did you say? That little maid is Tingxiao's girlfriend?"
"Yes, but... I don't know why she showed up dressed like this!" Guan Ziyao showed a somewhat alert look, always feeling that the woman was not that simple.
Guan Rui said with contempt, "Do you even need to ask? Lu Chongshan and Yan Ruyi don't acknowledge her, how dare she appear beside Tingxiao openly? She can only pretend to be a servant! Ziyao, there is no need for you to waste your time on a character like her, you should put all your energy into..."
Guan Rui was talking to his daughter when Lu Tingxiao suddenly came over from a distance. "Uncle Guan, it's my father's birthday tonight. Thank you for coming."
Guan Rui was immediately very pleased to see Lu Tingxiao coming over to greet him alone. He smiled and said, "Tingxiao, you are too polite. Given the relationship between me and your father, there is no need for such empty formalities!"
After a few pleasantries, Lu Tingxiao suddenly waved to a place not far away without making any noise.
Ning Xi was eating with Xiao Bao when she suddenly saw Lu Tingxiao waving his hand. She was a little suspicious, so she said something to the little bun and ran over, "Master, what do you want?"
Guan Rui and Guan Ziyao also looked at Lu Tingxiao suspiciously, not understanding why he called this woman over.
Did he ask her to pour wine and get things
Lu Tingxiao glanced at the girl beside him tenderly, then looked at Guan Rui and introduced, "Uncle Guan, this is my girlfriend Ning Xi. Xiao Xi, this is Uncle Guan, my father's best friend. You don't need to pretend in front of him."
Ah hey... What the devil wants to do... He actually introduces himself to Guan Rui...
Isn't this intended to piss off Guan Rui and Guan Ziyao to death
Uh, okay…
Maybe it was intentional...
Ning Xi was a little surprised, but then followed Lu Tingxiao's instructions and greeted him obediently, "Hello, Uncle Guan."
“Okay… okay…” In an instant, Guan Rui’s face became extremely ugly.
What does this kid Lu Tingxiao mean
He clearly knew that the Lu and Guan families were interested in a marriage alliance, yet he still deliberately introduced this woman to him!
However, even though he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, he couldn't say a word. After all, there was nothing wrong with Lu Tingxiao's behavior from the perspective of etiquette.
"Go play with Xiaobao." After saying hello, Lu Tingxiao let Ning Xi go back.
Then, as if he had not noticed Guan Rui and Guan Ziyao's expressions at all, Lu Tingxiao continued to speak slowly, "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Uncle Guan. Although I really want to introduce her to everyone, Xiao Xi takes her work very seriously. Due to her job, we can't make her public for the time being. As a man, I can only bear with it."
“Yes, yes… There’s nothing we can do about it!” Guan Rui was so angry that his fingers holding the wine glass were almost shaking, but he still had to maintain the demeanor of an elder.
Guan Ziyao's concentration was a little weaker, and her face was turning pale.
Finally, Guan Rui took a deep breath and regained his composure. He held up his wine glass and said with a fake smile, "Tingxiao, as an elder, I have to remind you that this girl is not worthy of you because of her lowly background! Your parents will definitely not agree, right? You have to know that young girls nowadays, especially those in that circle, are all after money. It's okay to play around, but if you take it seriously, it's too inappropriate..."
Lu Tingxiao glanced at Guan Rui with an unpredictable look, and said calmly, "Thank you for your concern. In terms of status, I am indeed not worthy of her. It is me who is not worthy of Xiao Xi."
