The banquet was held in the western suburbs of Beijing, far away from the Fifth Ring Road.
For the ordinary working class, they had to squeeze into the subway or bus for more than four hours every day to get to and from work. It could be said to be miserable.
However, for the people of the upper class, there were few people and the scenery was original. It became a kind of elegance.
Not long after, the car drove into a huge manor hidden under the trees.
This manor was built according to the terrain at the foot of the West Mountain. It was probably 20,000 to 30,000 square meters in size. Lu Yun could not help but be speechless.
In the capital, every inch of land was worth gold. Even outside the Fifth Ring Road, the capital spent to build such a large manor was astronomical.
In other words, financial resources were a small problem. The key was that this was a national forest park. How did the owner of the manor get the approval?
As expected, Lu Shangfeng knew what his son was thinking just by looking at his expression.
He smiled and said," The owner of this place is a wealthy businessman surnamed Huang. The garden was passed down from his ancestors and was renovated by him."”
"Surnamed Huang?" Lu Yun asked in confusion.
At the beginning of the last century, when the dynasty ended, many of the original royal families changed their surnames to Han, and Huang was one of them.
The owner of this family was surnamed Huang, and his ancestors had left him a large manor in a place like the West Mountain. His identity and background were obvious.
"Yes, his surname is Huang, Huang Qixing." Lu Shangfeng nodded meaningfully. He was very satisfied with his son's sensitivity.
After thinking for a while, he added,"Huang Qixing and I have a good relationship, and we usually get along very well."”
Lu Yun nodded in understanding. She did not say anything else and followed Lu Shangfeng.
This manor was indeed a former royal manor. The layout and scenery were very thoughtful. It was clearly a Jiangnan garden style with a small bridge and flowing water, but it faintly revealed a grand atmosphere that made people feel happy.
After passing through an arched door, they went around a jagged rockery and walked along the cobblestone path surrounded by blooming cherry blossoms. Soon, they arrived at a waterside pavilion built on a small lotus pond.
This was the venue of the banquet. From afar, Lu Yun could hear the laughter coming from the waterside pavilion.
The news of Lu Shangfeng's arrival had long been notified by the butler to the host of the banquet. Huang Qixing had been waiting at the door to welcome him early in the morning. From afar, he had already come up to welcome him with a smile.
"Brother Lu, you're finally here. Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time.”Huang Qixing enthusiastically grabbed Lu Shangfeng's hand and shook it hard.
" I'm sorry, brother." Lu Shangfeng looked apologetic." I went to pick someone up before coming."”
"It's fine, it's fine." Huang Qixing naturally guessed who he had gone to pick up. He pretended to be puzzled and turned to Lu Yun to ask,"And this is?"
"My son, Lu Yun." Lu Shangfeng had a smile on his face. He turned around and greeted Lu Yun," Come, Xiaoyun. Greetings to your Uncle Huang."”
"Uncle Huang." Lu Yun had a confident but not arrogant smile on her face as she stepped forward to greet Huang Qixing.
Huang Qixing's eyes lit up. He grabbed Lu Yun's hand and shook it hard."Not bad, not bad! This child's calmness is the best I've ever seen among all the Lu family's disciples! As expected of your son, Brother Lu!"
"Brother Huang, you must be joking." Lu Shangfeng smiled so widely that his teeth could not be seen." It's just a bow. How can you tell so much?”
Huang Qixing shook his head." Brother Lu, I'm never wrong when it comes to people. This son of yours must be extraordinary. In my opinion, the future of the Lu family will depend on him."”
These words struck Lu Shangfeng's heart, but he still shook his head.""That's still too far away. For now, I just need to do what I want to do calmly.”
He glanced at the people in the waterside pavilion. Although they were still talking happily, everyone was listening attentively to the conversation.
Lu Shangfeng smiled.
The upper-class society paid attention to status and status. It was indeed a very eye-catching act for him to suddenly push an illegitimate child to the front of the stage.
Seeing that Huang Qixing was still shaking Lu Yun's hand, Lu Shangfeng changed the topic and said,"Let's go in. Don't let everyone wait too long.”
Huang Qixing deliberately patted his head."Aiyo, I forgot about this. Please, please!”
As he spoke, he grabbed Lu Yun's hand and walked towards the waterside pavilion.
Lu Yun was held by a bald, middle-aged fatty in front of everyone. Although she felt a little conflicted, she felt warm in her heart.
His father's words about Huang Qixing's good relationship with him were indeed true. Huang Qixing clearly knew that he, an illegitimate child, had directly stolen the limelight of those legitimate Lu family disciples to attend such a banquet. The rumors and strange gazes he faced were obviously not few.
He was directly making his attitude clear. With the support of the Lu family and the Huang family, those who harbored certain thoughts would probably be afraid.
As expected, with the support of Lu Shangfeng and Huang Qixing, Lu Yun received praise when he was introduced to the high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen who were of the same generation as his father.
"Mr. Lu, is this your son? Not bad, not bad. It was obvious that he was a dragon among men.”
"Brother Lu, this is your fault. I've known you for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen your son.”
Everyone's ears were filled with all kinds of praises, whether they were sincere or not. Lu Yun was led by Lu Shangfeng to greet the elders. His actions were moderate and polite, which made everyone's eyes light up.
In fact, Lu Yun was already feeling dizzy. Other than calling him uncle, he had to judge the relationship between his father and the other party from their small talk, and even the relationship between enemies and friends. Lu Yun's brain almost crashed.
Therefore, when Lu Shangfeng finally finished his introduction and asked him to go to the side to interact with the juniors, Lu Yun felt as if he had been pardoned.
He had already noticed that on the other side of the hall, there was a circle of pure young people. At this moment, they were also paying attention to his direction.
However, their eyes were not very friendly. A few of them looked more arrogant and even more red. He had a look of disdain on his face.
Lu Yun frowned slightly. She did not have a good impression of them. Since the other party's attitude towards him was not good, according to Lu Yun's personality, he naturally could not be bothered with them. He did not want to be treated coldly. The thigh.
However, due to his father's thoughts, Lu Yun thought that it would be fine to just deal with it casually.
At this moment, Lu Shangfeng and the elders had already started to talk about topics that they were interested in. Lu Yun nodded at her father and smiled at the other elders before leaving the circle.
Then, Lu Yun followed his father's instructions and walked towards the small circle of young people. However, Lu Yun did not intend to chat with them. Instead, he wanted to go to that place to eat something. After all, he had not eaten breakfast.
When they saw Lu Yun walking over, the disdain on the faces of the few young people became even more intense. However, Lu Yun also glanced at them indifferently with the same disdain in her eyes. She then went to the dining table to eat.
Seeing this, someone sneered. One of them suddenly whispered in a voice so loud that Lu Yun could hear him clearly,"Hey, isn't this that guy from the Lu family?”
He pretended to think deeply for a moment and said word by word,"Privately! Life! Son!"
