At eight o'clock in the evening, Chateau Latour.
The black Bentley stopped in front of the gate of the winery, and the doorman stepped forward and opened the door.
Lu Huai and get off.
He is wearing a black suit today, tall and straight, with broad shoulders and narrow waist.
The bright lights in front of him fell on his clear and perfect face, and his eyes were deep.
The night was thick behind him, and his whole body was full of coolness, making him more noble and unparalleled.
Knowing that he will come today, there are already people waiting here, eager to step forward.
"Second Young Master Lu, please—"
Lu Huaihe nodded, and walked in with his long legs.
Yi Bin followed behind him.
In the banquet hall, toasts were mixed.
Today's reception is attended by celebrities from the capital city, their clothes are fragrant and their temples are shadowed, and they are glamorous.
Xu Yini stood in front of a wine rack, holding a glass of wine in one hand, while looking in the direction of the door from time to time.
She wore a wine red tube top dress today, and her light brown curly hair hung down, pure and charming.
Just standing there attracted the attention of many people in the field.
A young man stepped forward with a smile:
"Yi Ni, I heard that you have been so busy recently that you don't touch the ground, why do you have time to come here today to enjoy yourself?"
Before Xu Yini could speak, a woman next to her laughed and teased:
"It's not uncommon for Miss Xu to come to ordinary receptions. But today's one is different. Second Young Master Lu is also here."
She lowered her voice for the latter sentence, but everyone around her heard it.
"Second Young Master Lu? Lu Huaiyu?"
"Isn't he in Yunzhou? When did he come back?"
"You don't know this? The news is too poor. The second young master Lu has been back for several days, and he went to the Lu's headquarters yesterday."
"It sounds like this, his long vacation is almost over, and he plans to officially return to Beijing?"
"That's not true. It's only the second young master Lu, who has such a big face, let Miss Xu postpone the schedule and come to this reception."
These few people are descendants of aristocratic families in the capital, and they all know Xu Yini very well, so they dare to tease like this.
It is an open secret in their circle that Xu Yini likes Lu Huaiyu.
There are many women who have pursued Lu Huaiyu, but in terms of family status, appearance and education, Xu Yini can be regarded as the absolute leader.
The Lu family and the Xu family are family friends and have a good relationship, so everyone thinks that Xu Yini may be the most promising one.
Hearing what they said, Xu Yini took a sip of the red wine, and then said with a smile:
"What nonsense, I just thought that we haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's a rare opportunity to get together."
The rest of the people exchanged meaningful glances and laughed.
"Yes, our Miss Xu is now a big star, it's rare to come back and see each other!"
Xu Yini smiled slightly.
Suddenly, her gaze froze.
The woman standing next to her chuckled and said:
"No, Second Young Master Lu is here."
The noble and cold man appeared, and the huge banquet hall was silent for a moment.
Many people present today knew Lu Huaiyu, but he hadn't made such an official appearance in the capital for a year.
What's more, he already has a stunning appearance and a pure temperament, and every time he appears, he is extremely eye-catching.
"That's Second Young Master Lu? It's just as rumored."
"He didn't bring a female companion?"
"You don't know that. Second Young Master Lu never brings a female companion with him when he attends such occasions."
"...Don't even think about it, we can't get a character like Lu Ershao. If you really want to talk about it, maybe the Xu family is barely qualified?"
Xu Yini took the initiative to step forward, the corners of her lips curved just right, pure and gentle, with a hint of familiarity in her tone.
"Huaiyu."
Many people around are looking this way.
Lu Huai and his expression were cold, and he nodded slightly.
On this occasion, he would still give the Xu family a face.
Xu Yini's originally tense heart relaxed a little.
Lu Huaiyu's attitude towards her was already estranged, but after the photo was posted, Lu Huaiyu's attitude towards her became even more indifferent after the scandal.
No calls, no messages.
Even when she rushed to Yunzhou overnight and came to apologize, his attitude never improved.
That day, he didn't even let her in through the gate of Yunding Fenghua's villa.
Thinking about it now, she still feels very uncomfortable.
In the past, Lu Huaiyu's attitude towards her was actually very cold.
But back then, he was like that to everyone.
So she will comfort herself in her heart that there is still a chance.
After all, her competitive advantage is still great.
However, ever since she saw Ning Li in Yunding Fenghua last time, she felt a sense of crisis in her heart.
This uneasiness became more intense when he learned that Lu Huai and Yuan Dan had stayed in Lincheng.
Lincheng.
Ning Li's home is there.
It's just a small eighteenth-tier city, so why did Lu Huaihe go there
And the circle of friends he posted that day
The accumulation of these bits and pieces made her flustered and nervous like never before.
She has known Lu Huaiyu since she was a child, and after so many years, she has somewhat understood him.
He seems to be lazy and lazy, and doesn't pay much attention to anything, but in fact he is extremely arrogant and paranoid in his bones.
She is not afraid that he doesn't like her, but she is afraid that he will like someone else.
Because that means that she really has no chance at all.
During this period of time, she went to check Ning Li again, and after carefully understanding her situation, she felt a little relieved.
Ning Li's background, family, and past achievements are all in a mess.
Even if her test scores are okay now, it won't help.
Such a family is completely different from Lu Huai.
With this one, it is doomed that there is no possibility between Ning Li and Lu Huai.
However, this matter still made Xu Yini feel a sense of urgency.
So, after learning that Lu Huai was returning to Beijing and would attend the reception tonight, she deliberately canceled the two-day schedule and rushed over.
Xu Yini blinked:
"Grandpa Lu should be very happy when you come back this time, right?"
Lu Huaihe picked up a glass of wine from the waiter's tray with a calm expression.
Of course he is happy.
And full of energy.
These days, he's been making sidelines, hoping that he can take Ning Li back to have a look.
"Thank you for your concern, the old man is very good."
His tone was distant and polite.
But Xu Yini doesn't mind.
For her now, being able to talk to Lu Huaiyu for a few words is already pretty good.
Although she knew he was looking at the Xu family's face, she was still happy in her heart.
"Huaiyu."
A middle-aged man walked towards this side with a smile.
Xi Lin.
He is the owner of this winery and the organizer of tonight's reception.
Both the Xi family and the Xu family of the Lu family have contacts, and they are also one of the top families in the capital.
His eyes swept over Lu Huai and Xu Yini, and he said jokingly:
"You didn't bring a female companion? It happens that Ying Ni came here alone today, why don't you come together?"
