Nan's Dinner Party
Ningzhou Hotel was fully booked, and it would be no exaggeration to say that the entire banquet hall was decorated luxuriously and extravagantly. From the entrance to the lobby, all the decorations were made of gold foil.
In the middle of the venue, the word "Nan Family" was carved in pure crystal. The radiance cast by the crystal lanterns hanging down from the dome-style roof reflected the brilliant light.
Nan Pei was wearing the latest dress designed by Luan Pei. Since it was the most important occasion, he naturally had to seize every opportunity to promote it.
There is still half an hour before the dinner officially starts, and people from Nan's public relations department and publicity department are busy decorating the entire venue.
Compared with these busy people, Nan Pei was the most relaxed. She wandered around the entire venue and gave suggestions to the waiters from time to time.
The seven-layer birthday cake was pushed over, and the large words "Happy Birthday" on the cake were particularly clear.
"Tsk, tsk, the old man is already fifty years old, time is not forgiving."
The young master who was considered high-spirited back then has finally turned into an old man with white hair. At least the passage of time is very fair for everyone and will not stop for anyone.
The clothes Nan Jinchuan wore today were Tang suits specially designed by Nan Pei. The patterns and styles had been improved, and they were well-cut and fit perfectly. He looked very energetic.
At this moment, the guests haven't arrived yet, so Nan Jinchuan is still free.
"Slow, what's the difference between you and the guests who came to attend the dinner? If you don't know, you might think you are a guest." Nan Jinchuan said displeased.
This girl has never known how to be cold or hot since she was a child.
The place in her house is so big, and the people coming and going are busy, but she is wandering around here alone.
"Dad, don't find fault with me on this occasion." Nan Pei looked at Nan Jinchuan speechlessly.
"What are you talking about? Why am I picking on you? You've been this way since you were a kid. You should pay more attention to family affairs." Nan Jinchuan looked at his daughter.
Nan Pei approached Nan Jinchuan and held his arm affectionately. "Old man, if you want me to stand on the same line as you to urge marriage, just say so. I won't laugh at you. Nan Sheng doesn't understand respect."
Nan Jinchuan raised his eyebrows and stared at her blankly, "You're not much better either."
But after all, Nan Jinchuan still wanted to ask Nan Pei. He had never cared much about the current affairs in Ningzhou City. After all, the Nan family was in Nan Sheng's hands.
He knew how to let go. Nan Sheng was the successor appointed by Mr. Nan, so naturally Nan Jinchuan would trust his son.
However, Mu Nuanxi came to Nan's house twice in the past few days and brought good tea. The child was thoughtful and went to pick dew early in the morning and went to Nan's house to make tea for him.
While drinking tea and chatting together, he heard some news about Mu Wen Li, the youngest daughter of the Mu family.
"I heard the news about Mu Wen Li." Nan Jinchuan said.
Of course Nan Pei knew what his father meant, "I guess those two people will come over tonight for this occasion. Didn't Mother He also say that the imperial capital specially sent a dress?"
The company that made the dress was exclusively for the Fu family, and it had only made clothes for the Fu family in recent years. How could ordinary people have such an honor?
Nan Jinchuan's eyes lit up, "Is this true?"
"Aren't you unconcerned about Ningzhou City's affairs?" Nan Pei was confused.
It was because of Nan Jinchuan's tepid temper that he was not liked very much by Mr. Nan. Back then, Mr. Nan held himself up and waited until Nan Sheng grew up and handed the Nan family into Nan Sheng's hands before he died.
Strictly speaking, Nan Jinchuan's character is like a reclusive scholar in ancient times who would not pay too much attention to meaningless things.
"I don't care about Ningzhou City's affairs, but I keep an eye on the affairs at home. If the news is true, it would be a good thing."
"Old man, you and Mu Nuanxi have been very close these past two days. I heard Mother He say that she has been drinking tea and chatting with you at home for three days in a row." Nan Pei asked back.
Nan Jinchuan raised his hand and poked his daughter on the forehead, "Children outside know that I am an old man and often come to talk to me at home. On the contrary, my own daughter has not even been seen for several days."
Nan Pei snorted and cursed secretly. He was not an indiscriminate and soft-eared old man who would listen to someone's kind words.
"I advise you not to believe her words too much. Her purpose is obviously Nan Sheng. Can't you tell?"
Nan Jinchuan nodded, "I know."
For a moment, Nan Pei didn't know what to say.
"That child has liked Nan Sheng since he was a child. Don't you know this too? What's so strange? It's normal for girls to pursue their own happiness." Nan Jinchuan disagreed.
Nan Pei shook her head, holding her father's shoulders and walking towards the door, "Let's go to welcome the guests first. I'll tell you the details when I have time."
Many guests came in advance so as not to be late. Those who came were all glamorous, carrying exquisitely wrapped gifts and the brightest smiles.
This time it involves the centenary commemoration of the Nan family, so there are many seats reserved for media reporters at the entrance of the hotel. At this time, it is full of black cameras.
The manager of the organization department brought people over and gave each reporter a big red envelope and exquisite snacks. After all, they were the most powerful family in Ningzhou, so the number of red envelopes they gave was naturally extremely generous.
The directors of Nan's have all arrived. Although Nan Sheng doesn't like to deal with people, it is his own place. At this moment, he is walking in the hall with his secretary. The melodious music has already sounded in the whole hall, and there is a whole atmosphere inside.
In front of the hotel, a stretched Bentley stopped in front of all the street lights and spotlights. The people getting out of the car one after another attracted the attention of all reporters.
"That's the Mu family!"
"Look, those are Mu Chenyu and Mu Nuanxi!"
The reporters' cameras naturally focused on the Mu family. The headlines in the past two months were all about the Mu family. Some were shocking and some were embarrassing. It can be said that the Mu family's news was well-deserved in the entire Ningzhou.
"Why don't I see Mu Wen Li? Look carefully." Someone among the reporters said something.
Among the people who got off the car was Mu Kuiyuan, who had not been seen in public for a long time. The entire Mu family, including Mu Jing'an and Li Mengluo, showed up, but there was no trace of Mu Wen Li.
"You really attracted everyone's attention as soon as you appeared. The Mu family is so powerful." Nan Pei looked into the distance and said.
The guests who got out of the car all stopped and turned around in unison. During this period, the Mu family was the most discussed in Ningzhou because of Mu Wen Li.
Of course, this is also the first time that the entire Mu family has appeared so neatly in front of the public after Mu Wen Li returned to the Mu family, but without Mu Wen Li alone, this is really unbelievable.
"You don't believe me when I ask you to call Wen Li, tomorrow's news will definitely be messy again." Mu Kuiyuan impatiently glanced at the group of reporters at the door of the hotel.
"There are too many people. Let's go separately. Dad, I will accompany you in first." Mu Kun said and stepped forward to help the old man.
Lu Xue followed closely beside the two of them. Today she was wearing the most advanced custom-made cheongsam, which could show off a woman's unique aura. The rubies inlaid on the hem of the skirt were expensive, and the pearl necklace she wore around her neck was round.
Attending such occasions is usually a time when wealthy ladies compete with each other. Lu Xue has never lost in terms of food and clothing expenses in so many years.
Naturally, she held her head high at this moment.
"Mr. Mu, thank you for coming to the dinner." Nan Jinchuan took the initiative to greet him.
Nan Pei followed her father with her handbag and nodded slightly to Mu Kuiyuan.
"Brother Nan, I wish you a happy birthday. May you have this day every year." Mu Kun said politely to Nan Jinchuan.
"I'm really ashamed that I asked the old man to go all the way for me." Nan Jinchuan held the old man's hand.
Mu Kuiyuan nodded slightly, "As people get older, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to go out. It is an honor for me to receive your invitation letter. It is a good thing to go out and see more."
Although the younger generations of the Nan and mu family have a lot of contact with each other, Mu Kuiyuan and Mr. Nan have little intersection.
Nan Pei vaguely felt that her grandfather did not like the Mu family very much when she was a child. Although he was not very opposed to Nan Sheng's interactions with the Mu family, he did not support it. Boys always have to come into contact with all kinds of people to be able to hone their skills.
Therefore, Mr. Nan never interfered with Nan Sheng's friendship at that time.
The two elders at the door held hands and chatted, while the younger ones behind them walked in thoughtfully.
"Miss Mu!" Two reporters who were allowed to ask questions blocked the way of several people.
"Ms. Mu, please tell me what you think about the quarrel between the two sisters of the Mu family that has been circulating on the Internet recently."
Mu Nuanxi stopped and stood still, with a soft and broad smile on her face, and the camera could capture her calm and generous look.
"There is no need to say much about our family's affairs to outsiders, but we are still very grateful to those who care about us. Thank you everyone. We are fine."
Mu Nuanxi's gentle and generous smile was seen in the camera. No matter how many cameras she faced, she didn't feel nervous at all, and she still looked sweet and pleasant.
"Then why didn't Miss Mu come with you?" The reporter immediately asked this question.
Everyone present was curious about this question. If it was true as Mu Nuanxi said, the children of the Mu family appeared happily, but Mu Wen Li disappeared.
"Where else can I go? Of course I'm stuck with that oil bottle." Tong Jingshu snorted coldly as she stood at the foot of the steps.
Ning Qi followed her. The Tong family relied on the media company to get the invitation letter for this dinner, but Tong Jingshu came as someone else's female companion. Naturally, Ning Qi would not miss this opportunity. Accompanying Tong Jingshu was considered as an entry.
The people who come here are all rich or noble, and the people who come to Nan's dinner are not ordinary people. If she can keep her eyes open and choose one tonight, it will be a worthwhile trip.
Mu Nuanxi seemed to have thought about the reporter's question seriously, raised her hand to tuck the hair around her ears, and winked at the reporter, "Wen Li will come over with other people. That person is also very famous in the Nan family."
All the reporters were convinced, and the eldest daughter of the Mu family recognized it. It seemed that the matter between Mu Wen Li and the adopted son of the Nan family was true.
"What do you think of Miss Mu Wen Li and the second young master of the Nan family?" The reporter restrained his questions.
After all, it was in front of the Nan family's dinner party, and the Nan family members were all behind. No matter what status that person had, he couldn't have the slightest intention of slandering him in front of the Nan family.
"As long as they can be happy, I don't think anything else matters. If Wen Li really likes him, the Mu family will not object."
Everyone knew this kind-hearted eldest lady very well. After all, she was a lady of the family, and the children raised by the Mu family were certainly good.
In such a comparison, Mu Wen Li, who came from a remote village, doesn't look so good.
So what if she is a top hacker? She can never compare to those with unique and powerful backgrounds.
Mu Nuanxi here dealt with the reporters calmly, but Mu Chenxing behind her showed no interest.
He has been training with the team since the last game. He has been locked in the training room for too long. If A Jing hadn't broken in with someone today, he definitely wouldn't have come here.
Pu Xi was also captured. Pu Jianchuan and his son were chatting with Nan's father and daughter at the door.
"Cheer up, you've always been like this lately, that's why grandpa gets angry when he sees you." Mu Chenyu reminded his brother.
Mu Chenxing followed the two of them up the steps. He listened to his brother's words without saying anything. He turned his head to look at his sister who was still dealing with reporters with a smile on her face.
There was a smile on her face, and he couldn't tell the difference between hypocrisy and falsehood, but her smile was very bright.
"What are you thinking about?" Mu Chenyu looked at Mu Chenxing and frowned.
"Nothing." He replied calmly.
Li Mengluo and Mu Jing'an were walking at the back. After listening to the reporters' questions to Mu Nuanxi, they knew that Mu Wen Li and the adopted son of the Nan family hadn't come yet.
Naturally, the Zhou family would not be invited to such a dinner. Mu Jing'an was also in the Mu family's favor, otherwise, she would not be eligible to get the invitation because of the poor boy she married.
"Mom, I'm a little nervous." Li Mengluo was helped inside.
She spent a lot of time today to find the top designer to create this look. The whole look was carefully crafted from head to toe, even her hair.
Li Mengluo knew that she was at a disadvantage compared to Mu Wen Li's appearance, but what interest could such a cold as water woman bring to a man.
Mu Jing'an was right. She specially found a serious prostitute to learn the secret technique of seducing people. No man can resist such a woman.
"Mom is here, don't be afraid. As long as he shows up tonight, he will definitely not escape from your grasp." Mu Jing'an cheered her daughter on.
As long as she can get rid of the Zhou family, she will help her daughter no matter what. . After marrying someone like Li Wen, Mu Jing'an knows that her situation is caused by herself.
But she worked so hard only because she really liked that useless man. However, these years of hard work made her know one thing: a marriage with only love and no bread is unhappy.
In addition, her daughter didn't like the person named Zhou Xiaoyun at all, so naturally there was no mention of happiness.
So no matter what, she couldn't just watch her daughter marry into the Zhou family.
"Nuan Xi." Ning Qi called out.
The three women naturally gathered together, and the cars stopped one after another. Their eyes swept across the guests entering the venue. Ning Qi sighed that more and more people were coming.
"Let's wait, I want to see what the adopted son of the Nan family that Mu Wen Li found is like." Tong Jingshu said with anger.
"I saw in the photo that his profile is very handsome and very delicate. Although he doesn't have much status in the Nan family, he is indeed worthy of Mu Wen Li." Ning Qi said.
Tong Jingshu snorted coldly, "What's the use of just having good looks? Him with no power, no health, and no money, I don't see why Mu Wen Li can be so arrogant."
Mu Nuanxi leaned over and whispered something in their ears. Tong Jingshu's eyes widened, "Are you telling the truth?"
The adopted son of the Nan family is really a sick boy.
"What is Mu Wen Li thinking? I don't know if he can survive until they get married. If she does not get divorced, she will be a little widow." Ning Qi couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.
Here Pu Xi and Pu Jianchuan heard the words of the three girls clearly. Pu Jianchuan frowned. The eldest daughter of the Mu family was gentle and virtuous. She was glamorous to the outside world, but why did she have such a big opinion against her sister.
When Nan Sheng received the message, he broke away from a group of complimenting people. He raised his hand, tugged on his collar, and strode towards the door.
As soon as she saw Nan Sheng walking out, Mu Nuanxi hurriedly called out, "Brother Sheng."
Her voice was neither loud nor quiet, just enough to be heard by most of the people present.
Nan Sheng stood in front of Nan Jinchuan when Mu Nuanxi came over in high heels. She walked very quickly, and the high heels made a thumping sound.
"Look at you, your collar is crooked." As she spoke, Mu Nuanxi stood on tiptoes to straighten the man's collar.
Her action naturally attracted the attention of countless reporters. This was big news, the cooperation between the beloved daughter of heaven and the proud son of heaven.
These two are the legitimate blood combination of famous families. In such a comparison, Mu Wen Li's pair seems to be a bit miserable.
Nan Jinchuan saw the action between the two with a happy smile on his face, but when he looked sideways, he saw Nan Pei's disdain.
"You girl." He glared.
Why did such a tender scene get such a look of disdain from her.
Nan Pei looked around and saw a black sports car slowly stopping at the door. That car is limited edition and could not be found in the entire G country. Naturally, it was very familiar to her.
"Look over there, old man." Nan Pei motioned.
Nan Jinchuan raised his eyes, and his expression changed slightly when he saw the car. He picked up his steps and walked down the steps. Nan Pei stood there without moving.
People in this world always like to judge people by their appearance, especially in situations like this. The prerequisite for judging whether a person is capable and promising is the family behind him.
This has almost become a deformity, but Fu Yuxiu, the man who turned his hands into clouds and rain, has even managed to avoid anyone judging the capital behind him, because he himself is the capital.
Nan Jinchuan stepped forward to greet him in person, and the reporters' eyes turned to the sports car arrogantly placed across the door. They didn't know who could be so presumptuous in front of the Nan family.
Wen Li sat in the back seat and looked sideways at the bright lights outside the window.
"Are you nervous?" the man next to him asked.
This was the first time Wen Li saw him in a suit and leather shoes. This man usually dressed in casual style.
He was dressed so formally at the moment, and even with a little bit of tinkering, he was so dazzling that it was hard to keep her eyes open.
Feiran got out of the car, and Nan Jinchuan opened the door simultaneously with him.
The man in the car landed with long legs, and everyone held their breath and stared at the man who was greeted by the head of the Nan family who opened the car door himself.
The person whose side profile photo had already caused heated discussions was now truly standing in front of everyone.
The man was wearing a well-tailored smoky gray suit. He was slender and about 1.9 meters tall. He was tall but not strong. He had a more standard figure than the male model. His facial features were as delicate as if they had been carved by God, with slightly raised eyebrows.
For such a perfect man, if he released such a full-body photo, the entire Internet would be in a frenzy.
"How is your health?" Nan Jinchuan looked at him worriedly.
He didn't know if his body could hold up in such a lively occasion.
"Don't worry, uncle, I'm fine." Fu Yuxiu replied.
Hearing the confirmed answer, Nan Jinchuan's heart dropped to the ground.
The man turned around and gently pulled the girl out from behind, carefully guarding her from touching the car door. There was a doting look on his face.
The girl who got off the car made everyone's eyes widen.
The girl looks young, but her figure is very well developed. The black dress outlines her exquisite figure. The black style is elegant, the upper body is quite regular, and the lower body has two slits, which are very sexy lace
Looking at that little face again, a flash of surprise graced everyone's eyes.
Wen Li glanced at the stunned people waiting at the door, and then grabbed the man's hand.
"Let's go, little oil bottle."
Fu Yuxiu lowered his head and touched her little face lovingly, and the two of them walked in together. It was a perfect scenery for two people with shocking looks to walk together.
Nan Jinchuan followed the two of them back, and the people next to him took the opportunity to ask.
"Mr. Nan, is that your adopted son?"
What's going on with this overwhelming momentum? There are rumors that he is seriously ill.
"Adopted son?" Nan Jinchuan raised his eyebrows, "When did the Nan family dare to have such an adopted son?"
His words were not sarcastic, but fear emanating from the bottom of his heart. Everyone present understood the meaning of Nan Jinchuan's words.
Mu Nuanxi's expression changed, and her whole face trembled with anger.
The same goes for Tong Jingshu and Ning Qi. The two of them coming together is enough to attract all the attention in the world, but it makes people dare not even think about it.
"What's going on? Isn't he the adopted son of the Nan family?" Ning Qi murmured.
How could he be more imposing than the head of the Nan family? Every move he made was like a breeze, and the coercive look in his eyes was enough to outshine everyone else.
"And the head of the Nan family opened the door himself!"
How could that adopted son who was living under someone else's roof be treated like this!
