ATAMMDO 77

Chapter 77- 2 in 1

 

Formal attire is required for the banquet, and Jiang Liucheng only packed a few casual clothes when he came.

 

Originally, he wanted his agent to send him a set, but the brand he endorsed, Roland Norte, gave him several sets of high-end suits, which he only wore once or twice.

 

Whoever thought that the next morning, a group of people would suddenly come to his door.

 

Jiang Liucheng was brushing his teeth and washing his face when he suddenly heard a knocking sound from outside.

 

He hurriedly finished brushing his teeth and made sure he rinsed his saliva off before opening the door and walking out. That’s when he saw a group of people dragging hangers one by one into the room next to him.

 

There are all kinds of men’s clothes hanging on the hangers, including formal clothes for public occasions and casual clothes for home wear. There are so many types. Not to mention the fact that there are clothes of the same style but in different colors.

 

Jiang Liucheng stood there with a dazed expression, watching them move the hangers into the room one by one.

 

He thought these were Qin Lu’s clothes, so he didn’t pay much attention.

 

He went back to his room and continued to wash his face. When he changed his clothes and walked out of the room, he happened to see Qin Lu, who was out for a run coming up.

 

Jiang Liucheng saw that he was sweating all over, and before he could speak, he said, “Go and change your clothes first.”

 

The weather is relatively cold now, and it is easy to catch a cold if the clothes a person is wearing are wet.

 

Qin Lu stroked the fluffy hair on his head, “Okay, wait for me.”

 

Jiang Liucheng didn’t wait for long. In three minutes, Qin Lu came out with a change of clothes. He is wearing a white knitted sweater on his upper body into the gentleness of home.

 

“By the way, I just saw the housekeeper bringing a group of people up to get a lot of new clothes. It’s next door.”

 

“Well, I saw them when they came.” Qin Lu took his hand. “Let’s go and see.” 

 

The two walked into the next room, and Jiang Liucheng realized that the next door was actually a large cloakroom.

 

 “Are you saying that clothes are not yours?”

 

Qin Lu laughed and said, “Of course, it’s not mine. The villa already has my clothes. These are my mother’s orders to bring them to you.” 

 

The cloakroom has a lot of space, bigger than the house he and Guo Qifan rented. More than twice as much, the clothes delivered in the morning has been neatly hung on the hangers by the servants.

 

Only when you walk in can you see the obvious difference. On the hanger on Jiang Liucheng’s right, there are all clothes in black, white and gray, all of which belong to Qin Lu.

 

On his left, in addition to black, white and gray, there are other bright colors of clothes. It was such a wide variety.

 

“I wanted someone to send you some clothes, but who knows that my mother can move faster than me.” Qin Lu has a smile all over his face. “She may not know what color you like to wear, so she sends something over for every style. If my mother didn’t like you, she wouldn’t do it to this extent.”

 

Qin Lu walked to a closet full of suits. “These are new products from all luxury brands, and they are all bought according to your size. Pick a set you like, and wear it when you attend the banquet tomorrow night.”

 

Because time is short, there is no way to customize it. Otherwise, with Ms. Long’s character, she will only let people customize it according to Jiang Liucheng’s size.

 

“There are too many choices.” Jiang Liucheng experienced the real luxury of the rich for the first time. Fortunately, he didn’t have difficulty choosing, so he quickly picked a black one. “This is it.”

 

Qin Lu, seeing that he picked something from Rolando’s brand, “Don’t you want to try on other brands?”

 

Jiang Liucheng shook his head: “My manager said that I am the spokesperson of Rolando now, and I can’t just wear clothes from other luxury brands.  Besides, Rolando’s clothes are also very comfortable to wear.”

 

Qin Lu didn’t insist upon hearing this and reached out to touch his head again. “Then wear this suit and go down to have breakfast first; my mother must have been waiting for a long time. “

 

Jiang Liucheng raised his head, “Auntie is waiting for us to have breakfast?”

 

Qin Lu met his puzzled eyes and smiled mysteriously: “I probably want you to praise her.”

 

Jiang Liucheng nodded clearly. After getting along with her yesterday, he already had a vague idea of ​​Ms. Long’s character.

 

After the two went down, they saw Ms. Long sitting at the dining table. She was drinking coffee slowly and reading the newspaper.

 

Upon hearing their footsteps, Ms. Long didn’t raise her head but moved her ears.

 

The butler brought breakfast for the two of them. Because he didn’t know what Jiang Liucheng liked to eat, the kitchen prepared a lot, including Chinese breakfast and Western breakfast.

 

Just as Jiang Liucheng was about to speak, Qin Lu picked up a cup of soy milk and put it in front of him, “Drink some soy milk first to rehydrate.”

 

Jiang Liucheng had to temporarily stop what he wanted to say and picked up the cup to drink.

 

Qin Lu graciously brought him several kinds of dim sum before speaking to the housekeeper. “From now on, you will only serve Chinese breakfast. He doesn’t eat Western breakfast very much.”

 

“Okay.” The housekeeper replied.

 

Ms. Long put down the coffee that was about to bottom out and glanced at her son in a neutral manner; probably only the two parties knew what it meant.

 

When she was almost done eating, Jiang Liucheng said, “Auntie, Qin Lu told me that you ordered someone to send clothes for this morning. Thank you. It’s the first time I’ve seen so many new clothes, but I can’t wear them that much.”

 

Ms. Long said with a smile: “It’s okay. There will be more in the future, just get used to it, and if you have a brand you like, you can tell Auntie.”

 

Jiang Liucheng didn’t persuade her when he heard this. It is not easy for him to force the other party to change her living habits.

 

After Qin Lu had finished eating, Ms. Long asked the two of them to go with her to the living room, saying that she had something serious to tell them.

 

The two followed to the living room and sat down opposite Ms. Long.

 

“Are you really planning to be together?” Ms. Long asked seriously, with a serious expression on her face.

 

Jiang Liucheng secretly thought that this link had finally come, and he knew it would not be so easy to pass. Although Qin Lu said that his mother liked him, he felt that ordinary mothers should not accept it so quickly.

 

“Auntie, Qin Lu and I are already together. After dating for a while, we will find a suitable time to get married.”

 

Qin Lu also said: “We have already considered it. If you consider the issue of heirs, after we marry in the future, we can adopt one. I remember that the Long family has many offshoots, so it should be no problem to adopt one.”

 

Ms. Long was expressionless, “These are things for the future, I will think about it later. There is another matter right now.”

 

“What else?”

 

Ms. Long said: “Tomorrow night’s banquet, the old guy will bring his illegitimate son to attend. We can’t lose to them in terms of people or momentum.”

 

Qin Lu: “So?”

 

Ms. Long continued: “So Don’t call me auntie tomorrow night.”

 

The smile on Qin Lu’s face gradually disappeared, and he frowned. “Why don’t you want him to call you auntie?”

 

Ms. Long said calmly, “It can be the same as you. He will call me whatever you want. The three of us are of the same heart and our benefits can cut through gold.”

 

Qin Lu: “…”

 

Jiang Liucheng: “?”

 

……….

 

Time soon came to the banquet on the second night, which is an annual event: the peony charity dinner. The invited guests are all celebrities from the upper class.

 

Before the banquet time came, many guests had already arrived one after another. Various luxury cars and sports cars were parked outside the art gallery where the banquet was held.

 

At seven o’clock in the evening, a Maybach parked at the gate of the art museum, and two waiters immediately stepped forward to open the door.

 

A tall man got down from the back seat. The man had deep eyebrows, handsome facial features, and his slender body line was perfectly outlined under the fitted suit.

 

The waiter recognized the man’s identity immediately, and it would be difficult not to recognize him under normal circumstances because the man is so famous.

 

Although he publicly announced his resignation a few months ago, it is impossible for everyone to forget in such a short period of time.

 

The waiter originally thought that Qin Lu’s return home to inherit the family business might be just a joke, or that the so-called family business means having a little money, but he didn’t expect to see him on this occasion.

 

Just as the waiter was in a daze, Jiang Liucheng got out of the other car door.

 

Qin Lu waited for him to walk over and walked in with him.

 

Until their figures slowly disappeared, and the waiter finally reacted.

 

“Fuck, it turns out that Qin Lu’s family is a famous family. Those who can come to this peony charity dinner are all celebrities in the business world. Such people are not as simple as having a little money at home. Money doesn’t necessarily get an invitation.”

 

“Don’t you think the other one is a bit familiar as if you’ve seen him somewhere before.” Another person said.

 

“I wasn’t able to pay attention. I was shocked by Qin Lu’s identity. When I came back to my senses, I only saw their backs.”

 

“Where’s mother?” Jiang Liucheng asked Qin Lu when he saw that there were only the two of them.

 

Qin Lu said: “She didn’t come so soon, let us come first.” 

 

The two entered the art gallery, and then they were led by the waiters of the venue to the banquet hall.

 

At this time, the banquet had already begun, and there were many glasses of wine inside already. Every guest who came to attend was dressed in bright clothes. In fact, even the small items on their bodies were worth hundreds of thousands already.

 

This is not just a charity dinner but also a scene where celebrities and ladies compare themselves with each other.

 

Zhou Beiwang also attended the charity dinner. He had received news early on that Chairman Qin would bring his illegitimate son to the dinner, so he told Qin Lu about it. Qin Lu said that he already knew, so he knew there should be a good show at the charity dinner tonight.

 

As soon as Qin Lu came in, he noticed it. Qin Lu’s tall figure just blocked his sight so that Zhou Beiwang didn’t notice Jiang Liucheng standing next to him.

 

When he got closer, he realized that there was another person beside Qin Lu. When the young man’s face came into his sight, Zhou Beiwang froze in place.

 

It was Qin Lu who saw him and took Jiang Liucheng to walk in front of him first.

 

Seeing the two of them approaching, Zhou Beiwang finally came back to his senses, “Why do you…”

 

He was a little confused. How could Jiang Liucheng and Qin Lu come to such an occasion together?

 

It’s not that Jiang Liucheng is not qualified. It’s just his suspicion that they don’t seem to have a relationship to attend this kind of occasion together.

 

“What’s wrong with us?” Qin Lu asked calmly with a composed expression.

 

Zhou Beiwang frowned and said, “Why would you bring him to such an occasion?”

 

Qin Lu said, “Is there any problem with me bringing my boyfriend to the charity dinner?”

 

Zhou Beiwang was stunned, “What?”

 

Qin Lu took the trouble and said it again: “We are dating with the purpose to get married.”

 

Zhou Beiwang was bombarded by this news that he suddenly felt dizzy. It caused a sensation that he could only grit his teeth and said, “Let’s go to another place to talk.” 

 

There is a small garden behind the banquet hall. Guests who don’t like too much excitement can choose to come to the small garden to breathe.

 

At this time, there was no one in the small garden, so it happened to be a good place to discuss the matter.

 

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhou Beiwang turned around and looked at the two of them. He had already gone through it in his mind just now, but he still couldn’t be confident: “Are you two together? When did you get together?”

 

“It has been almost four months already.” Qin Lu said.

 

Zhou Beiwang originally thought they were secretly hiding behind his back, but when he heard about the time, he seemed to have been kicked out at that time. However, he still had a feeling of anger in his heart. “Why are you doing this to me?”

 

Qin Lu asked calmly, “Why? Didn’t see your first love?”

 

Zhou Beiwang subconsciously wanted to refute, but then realized that Qin Lv was only talking about first love and nothing else. So he said with an unnatural expression: “Don’t deliberately change the subject. This matter has nothing to do with Gu Qing.”

 

Qin Lu snorted coldly: “Why doesn’t it matter? I still have to thank him. If you happened to be a little more careful, Liucheng and I might not have gone through a little more twists and turns to achieve success.”

 

Upon hearing this incident, Zhou Beiwang became even more worried and quickly explained to Jiang Liucheng: “Gu Qing and I are in the past. I really don’t know that he still has nostalgia for me.”

 

He always thought that Gu Qing was the kind of person who could afford to let go. Not to mention that it was Gu Qing who left him first when they broke up.

 

He never thought that after Gu Qing came back, he would think of getting back together with him.

 

Jiang Liucheng blinked and said, “Well, that’s all in the past.”

 

Zhou Beiwang always felt that the past tense he mentioned was referring to him and himself, which made his mood even worse.

 

Wanting to accuse Qin Lu is not justifiable enough.

 

To be honest, Qin Lu knew Jiang Liucheng earlier than him.

 

Seeing his gloomy expression, Qin Lu warned. “I advise you to let go of your little thoughts as soon as possible, and don’t let me know that you still miss my person.”

 

Zhou Beiwang opened his mouth. It doesn’t matter if they both have really dated Jiang Liucheng. In fact, the two of them can only be regarded as blind date partners who have met a few times, and they have no qualifications and positions. Thinking of this, it seems that he can only let go.

 

After a while, Zhou Beiwang said wordlessly, “You don’t care what other people think?”

 

Qin Lu said coldly, “You should not let a friend’s wife get bullied.”

 

Zhou Beiwang: “…Fuck.”

 

Just as they were chatting, there was a sound from the direction of the banquet hall.

 

After a while, Zhou Beiwang received a call from his friend, asking him where he had been and telling him that Chairman Qin was there.

 

Zhou Beiwang hung up the phone and said to Qin Lu: “Director Qin is here, and he is bringing a young man with him, who seems to be an illegitimate child. Do you want to go and see?”

 

Qin Lu sneered: “No, what’s there to see? “

 

Zhou Beiwang wasn’t surprised at all, “Okay, I guess you won’t go either, then I’ll go there first. I’ll call you when I have any news.”

 

Qin Lu responded lightly.

 

After Zhou Beiwang looked away, Jiang Liucheng saw Qin Lu’s expression suddenly darken, “Do you still mind?”

 

Qin Lu waved to a nearby waiter, took a glass of wine from the tray, and gave Jiang Liucheng another glass only to pass him a glass of juice.

 

“When I was young, I didn’t understand and would mind. I always wondered why my father was different from other people’s fathers. After I gradually became more sensible, I realized that he and my mother had no feelings for each other, so it was only natural.”

 

Jiang Liucheng himself did not have a father since he was a child. He doesn’t know what kind of feeling this is, so he can only comfort him: “I don’t want such a father.”

 

Qin Lu laughed softly: “You are so different even when comforting others.”

 

Jiang Liucheng: “This isn’t normal. Love is supposed to be mutual. If you love someone who doesn’t love you, only you will be hurt in the end. That is why people should be ruthless sometimes.”

 

Qin Lu stretched out a hand to hook his neck and pulled him in his arms. If he is going to be honest, Jiang Liucheng is actually luckier than him because Ms. Long loves him.

 

At this time around, Qin Lu’s cell phone rang. It was Zhou Beiwang who called and just connected.

 

“Director Qin is introducing his illegitimate son to the partners and shareholders of the Qin Group, and donated five million in the name of the illegitimate son. It seems that he is determined to train his illegitimate son to compete with you.”

 

Qin Lu drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, and Jiang Liucheng took the glass before he said anything.

 

“Do you want me to get you another glass?” Jiang Liucheng asked.

 

Qin Lu nodded. “Okay.”

 

Jiang Liucheng returned to the banquet hall with two glasses in hand. The banquet hall was busier than when they first arrived. He was not interested in making friends with important people, so he walked directly to the dining area.

 

There are not many people in the dining area. For a charity dinner of this level, most people come to meet similar people or increase their contacts. Few of them really come to eat.

 

Jiang Liucheng found a plate and was about to pick some snacks to pass the time, when a familiar voice came from behind.

 

“Jiang Liucheng, why are you here?!”

 

Jiang Liucheng turned his head and saw Mo Yi staring at him with daring eyes as if he had seen a ghost. He ought to ignore him, so he turned his back and continued eating snacks.

 

Mo Yi was a little annoyed, so he took out his cell phone and called someone.

 

After a while, Mrs. Mo, who was wearing an evening gown and full of extravagance, came over.

 

Seeing Jiang Liucheng, Mrs. Mo looked indifferent and calm: “What is your purpose here?”

 

Like Mo Yi, she did not think Jiang Liucheng was capable of attending such a banquet. Coming here is not without purpose.

 

Hearing the question from the other party, Jiang Liucheng pondered for a second and felt that it was necessary to say: “I don’t understand.”

 

Mo Yi sneered: “What don’t you understand? I don’t think you have an invitation letter at all. You sneaked in here.”

 

Jiang Liucheng looked at Mrs. Mo and said with a puzzled face: “You have been targeting me because you are afraid that I will retaliate against you and tell you that I am your son, which will affect your status in the Mo family? I don’t understand how you never thought that I don’t want others to know that you are my mother at all?”

 

Madam Mo’s expression suddenly turned cold.

 

Jiang Liucheng nodded: “It seems that you haven’t thought about it. In my eyes, you are not a competent person who can make people yearn for maternal love. Maybe you did when you were ignorant and when you were young, but at least now, I have nothing for you. I don’t want to have anything to do with you.”

 

These words almost show how self-indulgent she is.

 

“And you.” After Jiang Liucheng finished speaking, he pointed his finger at Mo Yi again, “I never want others to know your relationship with me. Do you know why?”

 

Mo Yi answered subconsciously: “Why?”

 

Jiang Liucheng: “Because you’re too stupid. You’re not smart at all. After you’ve done all of those stupid things, it lets me know that associating myself with you won’t do me any good. Do you understand?”

 

Mo Yi’s face gradually became sour. He was actually looked down upon by the other party. “You dare to call me stupid? Believe it or not, I will let the whole world know about your relationship with me!”

 

Jiang Liucheng shrugged at Mrs. Mo as if to say that he was right.

 

“Shut up.” Madam Mo gave Mo Yi a gloomy look.

 

Only then did Mo Yi realize that he had said the wrong thing again.

 

Mrs. Mo looked at Jiang Liucheng. The young man was too smart and sensible. If he was her son with her current husband, she would have gotten what she wanted long ago without planning for so many years. This is not the first time she had such an idea.

 

Just as the other party guessed, she really doubted the purpose of the young man entering the entertainment circle, and also suspected that one day the young man would deliberately expose his life experience.

 

She can’t let Mr. Mo know about this. Otherwise, with Mr. Mo’s personality, he won’t allow him to get a small share of the Mo’s inheritance. So in order to eliminate this hidden danger, she chooses to act first.

 

Mrs. Mo originally thought it was a trivial matter. So as long as the young man failed to make it into the entertainment industry, Mr. Mo would never know that she had a son.

 

“Based on your personality, if it didn’t involve more interests, you wouldn’t do anything unnecessary or even do something that is more likely to be discovered by others.” Jiang Liucheng continued when the other party’s face changed, “It must be that if the relationship between me and you is exposed, it will make you lose more, right?”

 

Jiang Liucheng put down the plate in his hand with an innocent and bright smile on her pretty face: “Is it the right time for you to blame me now? Did I happen to grab a weak spot?”

 

“Are you saying that you have us on our necks? I’m afraid it’s just a fantasy…” Mrs. Mo interrupted Mo Yi before he could finish his curse.

 

“Didn’t I tell you to shut up?”

 

Seeing his mother’s angry look, Mo Yi didn’t dare to speak again.

 

Madam Mo looked calm and said firmly: “You won’t. If you wanted to say it, you would have said it long ago.”

 

Jiang Liucheng shook his head: “Telling everyone is different from telling a few people. As for this, it’s not difficult to figure out who these people are. Do you want to hear it?”

 

Madam Mo could no longer maintain her calm expression as if her disguise had been torn off.

 

“Pfft.”

 

Sudden laughter reached the ears of the three of them.

 

Mrs. Mo’s face changed slightly. Once she immediately looked over, she recognized the woman walking slowly at a glance.

 

The woman didn’t wear such a dazzling evening dress. The nobility exuded from the inside out could never be matched by Mrs. Mo, who obtained the status of a noble lady by marrying into a wealthy family.

 

A woman never needs extravagant gowns or ornaments to prove her identity because her face is already the passport to everything.

 

“It turned out to be Mrs. Long. What a coincidence.” Mrs. Mo put away the embarrassment on her face and smiled again, but she was a little reluctant to be hit just now.

 

Ms. Long didn’t even give her a straight look. She simply looked at Jiang Liucheng with unconcealable love in her eyes, “Can you really analyze it like that to them?”

 

Madam Mo’s expression froze, not only because the other party didn’t even look at her, but also because of her words. Obviously, the other party came earlier and heard the whole conversation.

 

Jiang Liucheng nodded, “Of course.”

 

Ms. Long asked: “Where is Qin Lu? Why are you here alone?”

 

Jiang Liucheng: “He is calling a friend in the garden. Do you want to see him? I will take you there.”

 

Ms. Long: “Then let’s go.” 

 

Madam Mo, who was ignored, had to admit the fact that she had made a wrong move this time.
