“But…”

“No buts. The banquet is about to start. If you don’t go down now, I won’t be able to hold back your grandfather’s anger.”

She bought this white dress at the beginning of this year, so it still fitted well.

This white dress was bought at the beginning of this year, so it still fitted very well.

Cheng Xiao’s look belonged to the type of a pretty daughter from a simple family. Wearing this dress, she looked even more obedient.

Last night, she didn’t sleep well because of the dress. Today, she had a dull skin tone, and there were dark circles under her eyes.

As she wanted to maintain her figure, she was on a diet for a long time. Thus she looked a bit haggard.

So, Cheng Xiao quickly put on some light makeup. After putting on lipstick, she went downstairs.

The banquet hall was already full of people.

Cheng Xiao swept her gaze across a few families that had close ties with her family.

She found Xie Wan and held her hand. She asked Xie Wan to bring her around to greet them.

After greeting a few people, Xie Wan pulled Cheng Xiao to the place where most people gathered.

Most of the guests thought that Master Lu was helping the Cheng family because of Cheng Xiao.

After all, at the banquet the last time, Master Lu and Cheng Xiao had a lot of interactions.

So when they saw Xie Wan pull Cheng Xiao over, all of them took the initiative to step aside and even said some flattering words.

“After a few months, Xiao Xiao has become even more beautiful.”

“This dress makes Xiao Xiao look even fairer.”

“She looks like a princess.”

Cheng Xiao was originally in a bad mood. But she was immediately appeased by these flattering words.

In front of these people, she always had a different face.

She put on the most obedient smile and thanked them one by one.

When Old Master Cheng noticed Cheng Xiao, he pulled her to Lu Xiu.

“Xiao Xiao, why did you take so long to come down? Master Lu has been waiting for you for a long time!”

Hearing Old Master Cheng’s words, Lu Xiu was at a loss for words.

When did he ever wait for Cheng Xiao?!

Why wasn’t Lu Qi here yet?! Did he leave him here to fend off the army alone?!

He ridiculed in his heart, but he still had to maintain the calmness on the surface.

Cheng Xiao was pushed by the crowd to stand next to him, looking bashful.

Lu Xiu stood next to Cheng Xiao. He could smell the faint perfume on her body. It wasn’t annoying.

“Brother Xiu, it’s great that you can come to my grandfather’s birthday banquet.”

If Lu Xiu was drinking water right now, he would definitely spit it out.

Brother Xiu was such a weird and goosebumps-inducing title?

However, before Lu Xiu could object to this title, Old Master Cheng pulled Lu Xiu over and started talking nonsense.

Meanwhile, Cheng Xiao stood quietly beside Lu Xiu like a young obedient wife.

“Dad, let’s not stand at the door and talk. Let’s go inside and sit down.”

“Yes, you’re right. It’s so tiring to stand. Let’s go inside and sit down and talk.”

The Cheng family deliberately emptied the hall and the living room furniture, then placed a few tables and chairs in the middle.

In front of them were a few tables for desserts and snacks.

After all, no one came to eat at this kind of banquet. The essence of this kind of banquet was to socialize, get to know people, and maintain a relationship.

Old Master Cheng took Lu Xiu directly to the middle table.

Lu Xiu was like a magnet. Wherever he went, others followed him and circled around him.

They chatted about work and life. Old Master Cheng shifted the attention of the guests to Cheng Xiao.

Cheng Xiao was the only person in the Cheng family whom they could count on. They wanted to rely on Cheng Xiao to enter the top circle in the capital.

“Don’t talk about us. We are older generations and the stories are in the past.”

As if it was unintentional, Old Master Cheng looked at Cheng Xiao intentionally.

“Xiao Xiao looks really good today. She looks really pretty in that dress.”

The guests who came to the banquet were long familiar with this kind of social interaction. How could they not know the purpose of Old Master Cheng? They could just go along with Old Master Cheng, as there might be some benefits in the future.

“That’s right. Xiao Xiao’s figure is really good. She’s so slim, just like a clothes rack. She looks good no matter what she wears.”

“Yes, this white dress makes Xiao Xiao look like a princess. Don’t you think so, Master Lu?”

Lu Xiu nodded with a fake smile.. “Why are you talking about me again? I just want to sit here quietly.”
