A burst of low laughter was heard. Lu Yun raised her eyebrows and looked at the young man with an unfriendly gaze.
The other party pretended to look at him in surprise, as if Lu Yun was not deaf, which really surprised him.
He smiled apologetically at Lu Yun, but his eyes were still full of disdain.
This was a silent humiliation. The other party was clearly telling Lu Yun that he respected the power of the Lu family and not Lu Yun, an illegitimate child who was incompatible with the real young masters.
He was not the only one. The few arrogant young men had the same attitude. They looked at Lu Yun mockingly, not minding that Lu Yun could see the smile on their faces.
These young people were obviously the ones with the highest status in this circle. With the power of the families behind them, there was nothing to be afraid of if they ostracized and ridiculed an illegitimate child of the Lu family.
However, not everyone had such an attitude. A few people stood there as if they had turned a deaf ear to him, either because their families were far inferior to the Lu family or because their personal conduct was relatively noble. They disdained to make an issue of someone else's background.
To Lu Yun's surprise, a young girl who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old suddenly smiled and said,""You're sweating a lot. Are you very hot?”
As she spoke, she reached out and handed over the tissue box in front of her.
The hall was not hot. The reason why Lu Yun's forehead was sweating was because those uncles had made her head hurt.
"Thank you." Lu Yun took the tissue box and wiped her sweat.""A little."
The little girl pursed her lips and smiled. "Hello, Lu Yun. I'm Huang Ling."”
Lu Yun had a good impression of this little girl. She put down the tissue box and reached out her hand. She gently shook Huang Ling's hand and smiled."Hello, Lu Yun."
Needless to say, this Huang Ling was Huang Qixing's daughter. Of course, she had seen what her father had said to her just now. Moreover, the Huang family had always been close to the Lu family, so she had jumped out to smooth things over for her as the master.
As expected of a girl from an old aristocratic family. She was already so graceful at such a young age.
Although the Huang family was not famous in the political world, the royal family's foundation was still there. Not only was their business doing well, but they also had some dealings with various dignitaries.
Therefore, although Huang Ling was still young, she greeted Lu Yun as her master. The others had to give her some face and stood aside to watch coldly without interrupting.
"Come, let me introduce you." Huang Ling raised her hand and guided Lu Yun to a handsome young man with a calm expression.""This is the second young master of the Wu family, Wu Yan.”
Lu Yun had noticed Wu Yan a long time ago. Although the young people in front of her looked very casual, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Wu Yan, who was sitting on the sofa, was in the center. Even Huang Ling's limelight was overshadowed by him.
It was no wonder. The Wu family's power was at the top of the circle in Beijing. Even the Lu family, where Lu Yun was from, was slightly inferior.
The Wu family and the Lu family did not have a good relationship. However, since it was Huang Ling who introduced her, Lu Yun naturally would not give her face. Otherwise, how would the young lady behave?
Therefore, he smiled and stretched out his hand. "Hello, Lu Yun."
"Lu Yun?" Wu Yan stood up lazily. He was more than 1.9 meters tall, half a head taller than Lu Yun.
He looked down at Lu Yun indifferently."I've heard of this name before."
" I heard that the Lu Clan is going to marry the Chu Clan," Wu Yan said loudly, ignoring Lu Yunshen. The hand that came out said," I thought that the one who was going to marry Chu Yuxun was Lu Xiuwen from the Lu family. Although Lu Xiuwen was not very capable, with his identity as the true heir of the Lu family, it was not too humiliating to Chu Yuxun's name.”
" I just didn't expect that." He looked at Lu Yun with a mocking expression." Chu Yuxun was going to marry an illegitimate child who had no status and was not recognized by the family.”
As soon as he said that, everyone was in an uproar.
The Chu family was also a prestigious family in the capital. They were only slightly inferior to the Lu family and other first-tier families.
Chu Yuxun had the reputation of being the "flower of the small capital". Her appearance could be said to be devastatingly beautiful, and many people wanted to get close to her but could not.
The reason why she had to put a small name on it was because another goddess-level figure in the circle was publicly recognized as the "Flower of the Capital". Be it in terms of appearance, talent, or the power of the family behind her, she was much better than Chu Yuxun.
Everyone knew their own limits. That goddess was not polite to anyone, so it was obvious that there was no possibility of winning the lottery with this set of materials. Their lascivious targets were all on the little flower, Chu Yuxun.
And now, Xiao Hua was going to marry someone who came from a shady background and was even worse than her. Everyone could not help but sigh bitterly.
Damn it, all the good cabbages were eaten by pigs.
For a moment, mocking voices rang out again, especially the voice of the young man who had been in the lead.
"Damn it, is the Chu family blind? How could he be worthy of Chu Yuxun?”
The smile on Lu Yun's face slowly disappeared and was replaced by a cold smile.
He withdrew his hand and looked straight into Wu Yan's eyes. There was an unconcealed coldness in his eyes."This is a matter between the Lu Clan and the Chu Clan. What does it have to do with you, Wu Yan?”
Seeing that a conflict was about to break out between the two sides, the tense atmosphere even alarmed the elders not far away. Several inquiring gazes swept over, and Huang Ling could not help but be very dissatisfied.
Seeing that Wu Yan was about to mock her again, she lowered her voice and reminded him angrily,"Wu Yan! This is a banquet organized by my father!”
Wu Yan also noticed the gazes of the elders sweeping over. He knew that he would have to bear the consequences if this conflict was brought to the surface. He immediately followed the steps and said,"Alright, alright, alright. I'll give my little Ge Ge some face.”
He stretched out reluctantly. He shook his hand as if it was a great grace to shake Lu Yun's hand.
In the next second, something appeared in his hand.
Everyone focused their eyes and saw a crumpled white tissue in Wu Yan's hand. There were still some wet stains on it. It was obviously the tissue that Lu Yun used to wipe his sweat.
"Please help me throw it away." Lu Yun chuckled innocently and calmly." I can't find the trash can."”
Being ordered around as a cleaner in front of everyone, Wu Yan felt all the blood in his body rush into his brain. He clenched the tissue in his hand into a ball. It was obvious that he was ready to punch Lu Yun with the tissue in the next second.
"Aiyo, haha, Sister Chen, you're finally here!”
However, at this moment, Huang Qixing's voice suddenly sounded from afar. It was filled with enthusiasm and surprise, and even carried some respect and politeness.
Instantly, everyone looked in the direction of the voice. Even Wu Yan's entire body trembled as he abruptly turned his head to look into the distance.
"Don't call me Sister Chen. I'm much younger than you.”
Following that, a pleasant voice sounded, and a peerless figure appeared in front of everyone.
