Luo Lian noticed that Gu Ziyi's mood was not right. After replying 501, he called Zuo Yang.
"Zuo Yang, please help me check if anything happened to the Gu family recently." Luo Lian has been concentrating on Ming Sheng, so he doesn't know much about the Gu family.
"Okay, Brother Luo." Zuo Yang said whatever Luo Lian said.
Although the two of them are directly related by interests, they still have friendship.
Luo Lian hung up the phone and found that she was still holding the bottle of mineral water in her hand. The outer wall of the bottle was frosted, making his hands full of water. He simply unscrewed the bottle cap and took a big sip.
It must have been in the refrigerator for a while. It's very cold and makes people feel energetic.
Luo Lian was not in a hurry to go to bed, but was sitting in the living room with his laptop on the coffee table. What will be displayed on the screen is Mingsheng's stock market conditions.
It's Luo Mingsheng's birthday party in two days. What should he give as a gift
—
Luo Mingsheng's birthday banquet was quite a big deal, and Pei Yuan knew about it early on. She must go as Luo Lian's female companion, so she bought a new dress, new jewelry, and hired a makeup artist to do the styling.
When Sun Jiaojiao and Su Qi saw how interested she was, they also misunderstood that Pei Yuan liked Luo Lian. After all, it was an illusion, and they still knew exactly what kind of character Pei Yuan was.
Luo Lian rejected Pei Yuan again and again, which hurt Pei Yuan's self-esteem. It would be nice if Pei Yuan didn't want to kill him.
Sun Jiaojiao and Su Qi are also going to the birthday banquet with their family. Their family is only a small family, and the reason why they can go to such big occasions is because of Pei Yuan's connection.
After all, he has a good relationship with Pei Yuan, so Pei Jing will support him more.
Pei Yuan looked at herself in the mirror. She was very satisfied with her makeup. Her hair was tied up this time, making her look more dignified.
She looked around, picked up her phone and checked the time, then went to change clothes.
Luo Lian will come to pick her up in a while.
After changing her clothes, Pei Yuan just waited for Luo Lian, "You go ahead and see you at the banquet later."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to make a shining appearance." Sun Jiaojiao and Su Qi left together, taking the first step.
Pei Yuan sat on the sofa and waited quietly for Luo Lian.
After a while, Luo Lian came.
To be honest, Luo Lian's outfit didn't match her dress at all.
Luo Lian had a sprig of lavender pinned to the breast pocket of his suit, which seemed inconsistent. But with the blessing of his face, it won't draw too much attention to the inconsistent lavender.
Along the way, Luo Lian drove.
Pei Yuan said something, and Luo Lian responded perfunctorily.
Pei Yuan turned away, secretly angry.
Not long after, it was time for the banquet.
It was very lively at Luo's house, and there were a lot of people invited.
Luo Lian looked at these people and chuckled. He really didn't like such a lively scene.
Pei Yuan just wanted to hold his arm, but Luo Lian dodged him. "No need to hold on."
The two people entered Luo's house one after the other.
Luo Lian saw Qian Wenshi at a glance. He was dressed up carefully today. He was holding a goblet with some red wine in his hand. She smiled brightly and looked like the matron of the house.
Luo Qianqian was next to Qian Wenshi. The child was still not used to being in large numbers, and anyone could see the embarrassment on his face.
Pei Yuan went to find Sun Jiaojiao and Su Qi.
Luo Lian looked around, but didn't see the person he wanted to see. He heard that an invitation to the banquet was also sent to Gu. Logically speaking, he should be able to see Gu Ziyi today.
He looked around and couldn't see Gu Ziyi, so he was a little disappointed.
Luo Mingsheng walked to Luo Lian and said, "You're here."
"Dad." Luo Lian called out, his voice was hard and emotionless.
Both of them felt a little uncomfortable.
Luo Mingsheng couldn't show too much intimacy, and neither could Luo Lian.
The two of them were more polite than the guests, not like a family.
"I'll take you to meet some friends." Luo Mingsheng also intended to introduce people to Luo Lian.
Of course Luo Lian would not refuse. This was the purpose of his coming here.
He stood in the crowd, chatting with a group of businessmen in their forties or fifties. Everyone has a wine glass in their hand. He can't drink today. I'm afraid he won't be able to drive back in the future. He will have to take a taxi or find a driver.
Luo Lian's position was facing the door, but he couldn't see the door immediately because these people stood in front of him, blocking his view.
So much so that he still heard the young people behind him commenting "That person is so beautiful", only to realize that the Gu Ziyi he wanted to see today had already appeared.
Gu Ziyi wore a gradient purple skirt, and the jewelry was just right, not too flashy. Her long curly hair was spread loosely, and there was a beautiful hairpin in the shape of a feather pinned above her right temple.
Luo Lian's eyes couldn't help but stick to her.
Of course, Luo Lian was not the only one present. After all, Gu Ziyi's appearance inherited the advantages of Gu Cheng and Yi Yi and was outstanding.
She was used to being looked at by many eyes, so Gu Ziyi took a glass of champagne from the waiter. As always, find a corner to hide yourself in. After a while, no one would pay much attention to where she was.
Gu Ziyi was standing by the window, and she found that there was a door leading to the small garden outside. She can go there and hide for a while.
She lowered her head and straightened her skirt. Most of her dresses were Xia Yue's works. Xia Yue sometimes uses her as a model and makes a few pieces for her as an experiment. Because it is customized specifically for her, it fits her perfectly.
Several young men came over to say hello to Gu Ziyi, but Gu Ziyi went back after a few words. It is impossible to use WeChat, and follow-up contact is also impossible. She came to a banquet, not to a blind date conference.
When the time came, Luo Mingsheng came to the stage to speak.
Gu Ziyi didn't listen to what he said. She only noticed Luo Lian on her side. Luo Lian also had a smile on his face, but... it was very hypocritical. She could see at a glance that Luo Lian was not sincere at all, after all, she was very familiar with Luo Lian.
"When Luo Lian takes over Mingsheng, I'm afraid Mrs. Luo will have a hard time."
"Who says it isn't? Before, everyone was thinking about marrying that Luo Qianqian back as their daughter-in-law. Now it seems that the situation is not good, and no one has thought of that idea anymore."
"It's just words, who would really fall in love with Luo Qianqian? After all, she is the illegitimate daughter of a mistress."
…
The two middle-aged women next to Gu Ziyi were chattering away, and Gu Ziyi also heard something about the Luo family. This was the first time she learned about the Luo family. She picked up the wine glass, lowered her eyes slightly, and focused on the conversation next to her.
