Of course, Lu Yuan would not be so high profile as to directly let the pilot drive himself and Zhou Yun to the school in a helicopter, although this would certainly attract countless worship and admiration, but this is not Lu Yuan’s style.
The Lu family has its own helicopter landing site in Jinling City. After getting off the helicopter, Lu Yuan took Zhou Yun with him, and the two of them waited for a bus on the roadside, ready to go back to school.
“So your family is so powerful.”
Zhou Yun said with emotion, in this short half month, on the healing island, Zhou Yun, a native girl from somewhere inside the mountains of southwest China, was finally able to get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of the world’s number one family’s extreme landed wealth.
It is impossible to say that there is no pressure, and despite all the deep experiences the two have had with each other, Zhou Yun also has an indefinable sense of pessimism about the future.
“Right.”
Lu Yuan said lightly, then reached out his hand and gently brushed the seeds of the wutong tree from Zhou Yun’s hair, and carefully stroked the corner of Zhou Yun’s eye, where he had once been bruised by Ai Jing and the others, but under the careful care of the Peach Blossom Healing Island, Zhou Yun was now completely healed and not a trace of it could be seen.
Moreover, after being nourished by all kinds of mountainous and seafood nutrients for the past half month, Zhou Yun looked much more refreshed than before, and his skin was also more delicate.
“That cousin of yours, the one called Tian Chi.” Zhou Yun thought for a moment and said, “Many girlfriends’ ……”
When he said this, Zhou Yun didn’t know how to say it again, so he pouted and looked at Lu Yuan a little depressed.
“Haha, are you trying to say if I will be like that too.” Lu Yuan laughed, coming to tease Zhou Yun, “You’re getting jealous now, but don’t worry, I’m not like that bear of a kid Tian Chi.”
“The fact that I like you has nothing to do with you liking other women.” Zhou Yun suddenly blurted out.
But once the words came out, it seemed that he himself felt that they were too fleshy, and Zhou Yun’s face brushed red.
Lu Yuan’s heart couldn’t help but be moved, and he just wanted to seize this atmosphere and hug Zhou Yun.
Suddenly, a call came from his mobile phone.
“Third Young Master.”
“Elder Xiong.”
“I heard from Lu Qian that you have left Peach Blossom Island and are now in Jinling, right?”
“Yes.”
“That, Third Young Master, Mr. Shen Wan Guan, in the name of giving you a reception at Songhe House, has hosted a banquet, inviting quite a few famous and rich people in Jinling, do you want to go for a while?” Elder Xiong said.
“Who is Shen Wan Guan?” Lu Yuan didn’t seem to have heard of this name.
“He is also from Jiangnan Institute, he is under Jiang Chunnan, specializing in the various expenses and revenue generation of Jiangnan Institute, managing the financial aspect, the last time Jiang Chunnan invited you at the Billy Hotel, he happened to go out of town to talk business, so he was not there. This time, after hearing about you and learning that you had just returned to Jinling, he said he had to invite you once.”
After a pause, Xiong Lao continued, “This man, who has a rather gregarious and cheerful personality, so he has set up a banquet at Songhe House and wants to give you a reception, Third Young Master.”
Lu originally did not want to go.
After all, this guy had invited so many famous people from Jinling and stuff, it was too high profile.
But then he thought about it, he was also sincere, and if he didn’t go, it would probably discourage him.
If he went, it would be a kind of encouragement to him.
In that case, let’s go.
I’d also like to have a good meal.
With his mind made up, Lu Yuan took Zhou Yun to Songhe Lou.
The Songhe Lou, as it is called, is really true to its name. Looking at it from afar, the flying eaves and arches are stacked on top of each other, as if it is in the clouds, and it has the feeling of a famous building in ancient times.
Only in ancient times, such famous buildings had all kinds of famous horses and steeds tethered in front of their doors, while now, there were all kinds of luxury cars parked.
“Sorry a few people, today our Pine and Crane House is not open to the public, it has been chartered, if you have an invitation ticket you can enter, if not, please go elsewhere, thanks for understanding.”
The restaurant’s service staff was at the door and took great pains to say it over and over again.
Some people were nice enough to talk, turned around, got in their cars and left.
Some of the pricks, still unconvinced, wanted to make trouble. But when they found out that Shen Wan Guan was the one who paid for it, they didn’t dare to push any further and had to leave obediently.
Lu Yuan didn’t want to make a scene, so he used the mobile phone number Xiong Lao gave him to contact Shen Wan Guan.
Shen Wanguan, in his fifties, had a round body and was very rich, but his eyes were shining, he looked very spirited and always had a smile on his face, and yes, it did fit the image of dealing with money.
When he knew that the youth in front of him was Lu Yuan, Shen Wanguan was so shocked that he fell back and worshipped him.
“Third Young Master you have come on your own, I am really sorry and forgive you, I had wanted to set everything up before contacting you and personally send a car to pick you up and bring you here, then let you enter the banquet hall in style and accept our obeisance under the admiration of all the people. Please forgive me, Third Young Master!”
“It’s fine, it’s fine.”
What, according to Shen Wan Guan, he still wanted to have everyone arrive and then send a car to pick him up and walk into the banquet hall in full view of everyone?
Lu Yuan would never do that.
“That, Shen Wan Guan ah, I, for one, am grateful to you for this banquet ……”
“Ah, where where, I’ve wanted to invite the Third Young Master once for a long time, I regretted my absence at the Billy Hotel last time.” Hearing Lu Yuan say he was grateful, Shen Wanguan instantly smiled with a frown.
“Er, that, but I don’t want people to know my identity, so I’m here this time though, I’ll attend under a fake name, Xue Nu.”
Lu Yuan said, and then introduced Zhou Yun, “This is my friend who came with me, she also uses a fake name I think, Ye Rui.”
“Okay, Third Young Master, I’m very honoured to have you here!”
Shen Wan Guan was smiling, yes, the third young master had come in person, this was already a great honour to himself, what was the point of getting a fake name to keep a low profile.
After talking to Shen Wanguan, Lu Yuan and Zhou Yun went to the restaurant.
Lu Yuan and Zhou Yun arrived at the banquet hall of Songhe House.
There were quite a few people in the hall, and judging from their dress and temperament, they were mostly famous and wealthy people in Jinling.
“I heard that this time it was a banquet given by Mr. Shen in order to receive a noble son?”
Lu Yuan and Zhou Yun strolled among them, both with the gossips of the people talking to each other in their ears.
“Yes, speaking of which, I’m curious as to what this noble gentleman is all about, that he can make Mr. Shen give him a reception.”
“Not at all, someone who can make Mr. Shen receive him is already remarkable, and this noble gentleman, to have Mr. Shen charter the entire Songhe House and invite so many people to a banquet to receive that noble gentleman together, this is even more remarkable.”
With a single word, the group nodded their heads one after another.
“I’m telling you, I’ve heard that this noble gentleman seems to be the person behind Mr. Shen.” Someone whispered.
“Really? Where did you hear that? Mr. Shen’s business is already very rich, how can he have someone behind him? It’s more like he’s someone else’s back.” Some people shook their heads in disbelief.
“That’s right, where did you hear the gossip, if there really is such a noble son, that status is simply, tsk, hehe, unimaginable.”
“Whatever you say, I heard it anyway, believe it or not.” The person who started to speak, once he saw that he was being collectively spat out by the crowd, also returned a depressed sentence.
As Lu Yuan listened to all these comments, he secretly found it quite interesting in his heart.
“Okay, everyone, take your seats!”
At the front of the hall, there was a stage, and Shen Wanguan had, at some point, arrived on it.
He was rich in stature, and spoke with a strong voice, coupled with his natural aura of grace and reputation in Jinling City, as soon as he opened his mouth, the whole hall immediately fell silent, and everyone found a seat.
Lu Yuan and Zhou Yun also found a table with fewer people and sat down.
Beside Lu Yuan, there were two beauties dressed up in the latest fashion, both with exquisite make-up, wearing beige high cla*s dresses, with a striking fragrance and white gold bracelets on their wrists.
When they saw Lu Yuan sitting next to them, the two beauties’ noses wrinkled slightly, looking rather disgusted.
But they didn’t say anything.
They just both moved to the other side.
“Hey, why hasn’t that noble gentleman come out yet?” One of them said.
“Yeah, why hasn’t he come out yet, someone who can make Mr. Shen make such a big deal about the banquet must be a grandson of some top gentry, we’ll have to play our cards right later and try to get a WeChat.” The other one looked towards the stage.
Lu Yuan laughed inwardly.
He came over to Zhou Yun and was just about to tease her.
Suddenly, a voice came from behind him, “Aigoo, isn’t this the pair of female and male thieves?”
When Lu Yuan heard this voice, he let out a holy Sh*t in his heart and turned around to look.
Sure enough, Li Mengyao and Du Liang, along with a few boys and girls whom he didn’t know either, who all looked like they were in a group, were standing behind him.
Li Mengyao looked even more beautiful and brighter than before.
She was wearing white gold full moon earrings in her ears, and surprisingly, a diamond ring on her hand, which was crystalline and stylish.
Her gaze, however, carried a self-effacing nobility, and a contempt and disdain for Lu Yuan.
