"Your aunt is calling me, I'll go first." Dongfang Ming said with a smile: "Ling'er, remember to call me if you have anything to do."
"it is good."
Luo Ling'er hung up the phone, put the phone away, and looked down.
You Ling sent her a message early in the morning, asking if she had set off.
Du Xingli also sent her a message last night, staying up at one o'clock in the morning, asking her if she wanted to wear formal clothes to attend tomorrow.
Then came the news about Mou Qiangsheng.
He almost meant that, mainly to ask Mrs. Mou what gift she likes.
Mrs. Mu also wanted to congratulate her in person.
Luo Linger didn't invite many people here.
In addition to inviting Lu Ziyin, Lao Jiu and Zhou Fan, she also invited a few people who usually have a good relationship with her in the research institute.
That is, the three members of the tenth group.
Mou Qiangsheng, Ding Lei and Ming Nuan.
Mou Qiangsheng made an appointment for the old lady before, and the old lady took the initiative to express her concern several times, so Luo Linger asked Mou Qiangsheng to bring the old lady over for dinner.
So she invited a total of seven or eight people on her side.
She didn't know how many people Yu Yaru and Dongfang Ming had invited.
But Yu Yaru told her before that today was just a small banquet, and he only invited some close friends to have a meal together.
Luo Ling'er didn't go to Shengjiangshan Hotel, so she doesn't know the situation of Shengjiangshan Hotel.
According to Yu Yaru's words, she visually judged that there were not many people eating today.
About two or three tables.
Luo Ling'er checked the time, pulled out the chair and got up to take a shower.
Anyway, she and Dongfang Ming made an appointment before 11:30, and now it's only [-]:[-]. After taking a shower, she can look at the detailed information of the experiment that Song Fei gave her. She leaves at about [-]:[-], and the time is stuck Just right.
Mou family.
Mrs. Mou got up early in the morning, changed her clothes, and did her hair again. Many people came and went from the house.
Mou's father and mother were not invited, and they were a little dumbfounded when they saw how much the old lady attached to the meal at noon today.
At the beginning of the old lady's 70th birthday, it seemed that she didn't pay much attention to it.
"Miss Luo kindly invited me, an old lady, to meet the world. We can't embarrass Miss Luo." The old lady Mou looked at herself in the mirror, thought for a while, and took off the cumbersome jade jewelry, leaving only a scarlet on her neck. The necklace strung with emerald beads is very dignified: "Okay, I will be like this. Johnson, how about you? Are you ready?"
Mou Qiangsheng looked down at his clothes, and looked at his grandmother innocently: "Can I just wear this?"
Mrs. Mou saw that he was wearing casual attire, which was gentle and gentle, and looked good.
She originally wanted Mou Qiangsheng to change into a formal suit, but when the words came to her lips, she thought about Luo Ling'er's temper that Mou Qiangsheng had been whispering in her ears on weekdays, so she just thought about it.
The old lady Mou didn't waste time, she looked at the time, and said to Mou Qiangsheng, "Johnson, we will go there an hour earlier."
"Miss Luo invited us. In order to show respect, we should go there a little earlier. If we can help, we can still help."
Mou Qiangsheng nodded and stopped asking: "Okay, I will arrange it."
He sent a message to Ding Lei and Ming Nuan, asking if they had set off.Then go to the driver and tell the driver to get ready to go...
……
After half an hour.
Shengjiangshan Hotel is overcrowded.
Many luxury cars that are rarely seen in the southeastern region are parked outside the Shengjiangshan Hotel.
Ding Lei and Ming Nuan arrived at the hotel one after the other. When they saw the battle outside, they looked at each other, but they didn't recover from the shock.
"The person I saw just now is the dean, right? The dean is here too..." Ming Nuan couldn't close his mouth, he was very shocked.
Ding Lei also looked at the people coming and going in the hotel, and his Qingjun face showed bewilderment for the first time: "I also saw the person in charge of the intermediate laboratory, Team Leader You."
"I know Team Leader You has a good relationship with Luo Ling'er." Ming Nuan was not surprised by this, she knew more people than Ding Lei, when she saw Dongfang Ming greeting guests at the entrance of the hotel, the corners of her mouth twitched, and said, "House It’s not surprising that Chang and Team Leader You came here, but the problem is that I also saw the Gao family, the Dongfang family, as well as the Pharmacy Association, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and the Hacker Alliance..."
She mentioned the names of several forces in a row, and almost included most of the famous and respected forces in the southeast region.
Only then did Ming Nuan sullenly face. She was so shocked that her facial muscles were a little weak, and she said to Ding Lei expressionlessly: "These forces come from important people, and they are all one of the people in charge."
The two are talking.
A sports car stops.
The driver went to open the door from behind.
A pair of well-dressed mother and daughter got out of the car, and the two were very eye-catching in their bright clothes.
Ming Nuan saw the two people walking in with the younger brother who parked in the hotel at a glance.
She pointed at the person who entered in surprise, and said, "Julie?"
"?" Ding Lei was taken aback.
Ming Nuan became more and more sure that he saw the right person, and pointed to the front for Ding Lei to see: "Take a look, is that person Zhu Li?"
Julie is very recognizable.
She is tall and has a good temperament. She belongs to the kind of beauty at first glance.
Ding Lei was extremely astonished when he recognized that the other party was Zhu Li.
Ming Nuan put down her hands and muttered to herself: "Fuck, Zhu Li is eating here too? I won't bump into her later. That's too disgusting!"
Ding Lei had a strong feeling, and asked her back: "Do you think we will have dinner with her at noon?"
"What?" Ming Nuan suspected at first that she had heard it wrong, and when she realized it, she scratched her head and said with a mask on her face, "You said we had dinner with her? It's impossible, right? Luo Ling'er doesn't have friendship with her, you don't know How she targets us every day in the lab."
Ding Lei silently turned his attention back to Zhu Li who was about to enter, and couldn't help thinking of a rumor circulating in the institute recently.
"Why are there so many people in Shengjiangshan Hotel today? At first I thought the dean and group leader You were called by Luo Ling'er, but now that I see Julie, I'm not sure. What's the big deal in Shengjiangshan Hotel today? Most of the southeast region has come to join the event."
After Ming Nuan finished speaking, he thought for a while and said, "Let's keep a low profile and don't provoke these people. We can't afford to provoke any of the people here."
"En." Ding Lei responded.
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in his pocket rang.
Ming Nuan asked: "Senior brother Mou, is he here?"
Ding Lei took out his mobile phone and looked down, it was indeed Mou Qiangsheng calling him.
He picked it up easily.
Mou Qiangsheng's voice came from the phone: "Ding Lei, are you here yet?"
"We just arrived."
"Ming Nuan with you?" Mou Qiangsheng did not forget to ask Ming Nuan.
Ding Lei looked at Ming Nuan, nodded, then realized that Mou Qiangsheng couldn't see him, and whispered, "She's with me."
"Where are you?"
Ding Lei looked around and told him the location.
Not long after they landed on the spot, Mou Qiangsheng came to look for them.
As soon as Ming Nuan saw Mou Qiangsheng, he immediately mentioned to him the people he saw entering the hotel, and smacked his lips with emotion: "I don't know what a big day it is in the southeast region today, so many people came to Shengjiangshan Hotel."
Mou Qiangsheng looked at her in surprise, and asked, "You don't know?"
Ming Nuan was puzzled: "Know what?"
Did she miss the horse?
Mou Qiangsheng saw that she really didn't know, rubbed his temples, and said to her: "They are all people who came to Luo Linger's confession banquet."
Ming Nuan: "?"
She was completely stunned by Mou Qiangsheng's words.
Ding Lei was a little better, and said to Mou Qiangsheng calmly: "Luo Ling'er told us that it was just a regular meal. You just said, the banquet?"
"Ah."
Mou Qiangsheng has known them for three or four years, and the relationship between the three has always been very good. He did not hide the two of them at all, and simply explained to Ding Lei and Ming Nuan, then raised his hand and touched the bridge of his nose, and said helplessly: "I She probably didn't know that the banquet was so big, and she even invited my grandma to have dinner together. My grandma..."
Mou Qiangsheng didn't like to talk about some family matters, he swallowed half of what he said, and said to the two of them: "Let's go in first. Otherwise, there will be more and more people later, and it will be even more difficult for us to say hello."
They are all fringe figures in the research institute, and they are even more fringe in the southeast region. Usually, they can't even touch the fringes of Gao Ziyuan's circle, let alone contact with the standard banquets where Du Xingli, Gao Shiqiang and others are present.
Ming Nuan was completely dumbfounded.
Her whole body seemed to be walking on cotton, she was floating when she walked, and followed Mou Qiangsheng all the way to the hotel.
She wanted to call Luo Linger several times, but when she touched the edge of the phone, she retracted her hand again.
Luo Ling'er's character, she has been with her for a few months, and she still understands a little bit.
Luo Ling'er told her and Ding Lei that it was just a regular meal, and it's possible that she really didn't regard today's lunch as a big event.
villa.
"Miss Luo, are we ready to go?" Zhou Fan packed his things, just in time to see Luo Ling'er coming down from the stairs, and hurriedly put down what he was doing, and asked her.
Luo Ling'er was still dressed in casual clothes, and she looked very unrestrained. She came down from the second floor, saw Zhou Fan, and responded.
Zhou Fan immediately went out to drive.
Lao Jiu was playing a game, and when he heard Luo Ling'er came down, he also quit the game, put his phone aside with a smile, and greeted the girl: "Good morning, sister-in-law."
"morning."
Luo Linger opened the chair and sat down, seeing Lu Ziyin looking at his phone, she turned her head and asked him: "What are you today?"
"Huh?" The man looked back at her lazily.
Luo Ling'er silently swallowed the words that came to her lips: "It's nothing."
Luo Ling'er picked up the water glass at hand, took a sip of water, lowered her eyes, vaguely feeling that someone was wearing extravagant clothes today.
But she wasn't sure if she was being overwhelmed.
At this moment, Zhou Fan prepared his car and came in from the outside, and said to the people in the villa, "Young Master Lu, Miss Luo, we can start now."
Lao Jiu stretched his waist, walked to Luo Ling'er, and interrupted the girl's thoughts with a smile: "Sister-in-law, let's go."
Luo Ling'er didn't think about it anymore, put the cup on the table, put her hands in her pockets, and only took her mobile phone, she said to the two of them, "Let's go."
……
Inside the Shengjiangshan Hotel.
Yu Yaru told Du Xingli and You Ling to sit down, turned back, and asked Dongfang Ming: "Linger and the others haven't arrived yet?"
Dongfang Ming raised his hand to check the time, and comforted her: "I made an appointment with Linger at 11:30, and she is probably coming soon."
"By the way, have you arranged for Linger's friends in the research institute?" Yu Yaru nodded, then remembered Ding Lei and the others, and hurriedly asked him.
Dongfang Ming held her shoulder distressedly, with a helpless expression on his heroic face: "Don't worry, I've made all the arrangements."
"Where did you arrange them to sit?" Yu Yaru gave him a reproachful look, but still asked uneasy.
Dongfangming knew that she was worried that she didn't arrange Luo Linger's friends well, so she pointed to the hotel: "Hey, I arranged for them to have a table with their dean, and Team Leader You and Gao Zhiyi are at that table. Gao Zhiyi will take care of them."
Du Xingli should sit at the main table.
But Du Xingli is low-key and doesn't like to show off.
Yu Yaru understood Du Xingli's character, and arranged Du Xingli at the table next to the main table very considerately.
Even if Du Xingli didn't sit at the main table, the table he was at was no different from the main table.
Generally speaking, at a table with people of Du Xingli's level, important people must be arranged to sit together. No matter Ding Lei, Ming Nuan, or Mou Qiangsheng and Mrs. Mou are not qualified to eat at the same table with Du Xingli.
Dongfang Ming and Yu Yaru thought of going together!
Today is Luo Ling'er's confession banquet, and Luo Ling'er is one of the protagonists doing her part today.
Luo Linger's friends were all called by her.
Even if Ding Lei and the others are only marginal figures in the southeast region, they are still very important.
The main guests sit at the main table, which is fine.
Hearing what he said, Yu Yaru put her heart back, smiled, patted Dongfang Ming's backhand, and said gently: "That's good, I'm afraid you didn't arrange them well."
At this time, Mother Zhu and Zhu Li came over.
When they saw Yu Yaru, they greeted them warmly: "Yating."
Zhu Li also behaved gracefully, and greeted Yu Yaru politely: "Auntie, have you been feeling better recently?"
Zhu Li was sent to Yu Yaru by Zhu's mother since she was a child. Yu Yaru was very familiar with Zhu Li. He also smiled when she heard this, and said to her gently: "My health is much better."
Zhu's mother looked around for a while, and said to the two of them: "Yating, the person you mentioned, hasn't come yet?"
She didn't even bother to mention her daughter.
Mother Zhu made it clear that she didn't take an outsider like Luo Ling'er seriously.
Dongfang Ming frowned, since Mother Zhu was Yu Yaru's relative, he couldn't get angry, so he just said, "She's on her way, she'll be there soon."
"Oh." Mother Zhu stretched out her hands to brush her hair, looked at the two of them dignifiedly, and smiled slightly: "Didn't she come here earlier?"
Dongfang Ming's smile paused slightly, his face sullen, his brows frowned and he stopped talking.
Seeing that his expression seemed a little angry, Mother Zhu immediately covered her mouth and smiled, as if she didn't mean it: "Oh, I thought she would come early for such a big event. Don't worry about it, I didn't Otherwise, I'm just asking."
Dongfang Ming looked in Yu Yaru's direction worriedly.
Sure enough, he saw his wife frowned.
He felt depressed, wishing to drive away Zhu Mu and Zhu Li, but both of them were Yu Yaru's natal family, so he couldn't embarrass Yu Yaru.
Dongfang Ming could only hold back the anger in his heart, and changed the topic with a smirk: "She will be there soon. Lili, let's go, I will arrange a seat for you."
Zhu's mother saw that he was very protective of the goddaughter who hadn't shown up yet, and her dissatisfaction deepened.
She blocked Zhu Li's way indiscriminately, and said to Dongfang Ming with a smile, "I heard that Mr. Du is here today?"
Dongfang knew that Mother Zhu was talking about Du Xingli, so he nodded and said flatly, "Mr. Du came to congratulate Yating."
Zhu's mother rolled her eyes, immediately grabbed Zhu Li's hand, and proposed, "Lili is from the research institute, why don't we sit at Mr. Du's table?"
Dongfang Ming saw her purpose, and refused in a flattering way: "I'm sorry, Mr. Du's table is already full. I will arrange for you at another table, which is also the position of the main table."
Mother Zhu didn't expect Dongfang Ming to reject her, so she frowned immediately: "What a coincidence, are the seats full?"
Dongfang Ming raised his jaw slightly, his face was calm and handsome even if he was over 41 years old, with a mature charm of a man.
He looked at Mother Zhu and Zhu Li with piercing eyes, and said directly, "Linger called some friends over, who are also from the research institute. Yating and I arranged them at Mrs. Du's table. That table is already full."
Linger, the research institute...
Zhu Li's heart skipped a beat. She originally disdained to lick her face like Mother Zhu and wanted to sit at the same table with Du Xingli. At this moment, her eyebrows and eyes moved slightly, and she immediately asked, "Little uncle, the Linger you're talking about..."
Dongfang Ming was about to speak.
Luo Linger and his party have arrived.
As soon as she arrived at the place, she greeted Yu Yaru and Dongfang Ming: "Auntie, uncle."
She had already seen Julie when she came.
It's just that she wasn't interested in Julie, so she wasn't too worried about it.
After Luo Ling'er walked over, she greeted Dongfang Ming and Yu Yaru respectively, and introduced Lu Ziyin and Lao Jiu to them.
"Auntie, this is my friend, Lu Ziyin."
Luo Ling'er pointed to the other side, paused, and introduced: "This is Lao Jiu and Zhou Fan."
It was the first time for Lao Jiu and Zhou Fan to see Yu Yaru and Dongfang Ming. On the way, they heard how amazing Yu Yaru was from Lu Ziyin's science popularization.
Both of them respected Yu Yaru very much, and greeted politely: "Hi auntie, I am Lao Jiu. My sister-in-law's friend."
Zhou Fan also greeted Yu Yaru and Dongfang Ming respectfully, and introduced himself politely.
Lu Ziyin was the last to speak: "Auntie, hello, I'm Lu Ziyin, you can call me Xiao Lu."
He has an outstanding appearance and an extraordinary bearing, and he is dressed exceptionally handsomely today, he is simply here to recruit people.
really.
Julie frowned and stared at him for a long moment.
Suddenly, he remembered the off-road vehicle he had seen, and the man on the off-road vehicle who did not show his face.
Could this Lu Ziyin belong to Luo Linger, boyfriend?
The idea just popped up.
Zhu Li felt extremely depressed in her heart, with a feeling of being overwhelmed everywhere, which made her breathless.
The moment she saw Luo Ling'er, her expression was ugly to the naked eye. Anyone with a pair of eyes could tell that she held deep hostility towards Luo Ling'er.
"It's you?"
Zhu Li's tone was cold, and she went straight to the girl.
Yu Yaru was still talking to Lu Ziyin and the others, but upon hearing this, she immediately frowned, with a hint of warning, and said, "Lili, what are you doing?"
Dongfang Ming also had a stern face because of Zhu Li's tone of rushing over, and he could hardly hide his dissatisfaction.
Mother Zhu reacted quickly, and immediately stood in front of Julie, looking dignified and elegant, looked up and down at Luo Ling'er, a trace of disdain and contempt flashed in her eyes, and she had a friendly smile on her face: "This is What do you mean you want to recognize as a daughter?"
She reached out to pull Luo Linger: "Your name is Linger?"
Luo Ling'er avoided her hand without a trace, but because of Yu Yaru's hindrance, she still gave her a face-saving response: "Luo Ling'er."
"Luo Ling'er?" Zhu's mother was a little embarrassed at first, and she also got angry, thinking that Luo Ling'er took advantage of their family and put on a show, which was too arrogant.
At this moment, her mind turned, and she seemed to think of something. Combined with her daughter's reaction, she realized: "You are the newcomer who entered the research institute this year."
This sentence is full of malice.
Luo Ling'er reached out and pressed down the brim of her hat, ignoring her.
The smiles on the faces of Lao Jiu and Zhou Fan also faded a lot.
Luo Ling'er, a relative of the godmother's family, is a bit annoying.
The atmosphere was tense for a while.
Zhu's mother is also a person who has seen the world, and soon realized that her emotions were too exposed, and everyone noticed her attitude.
She was not embarrassed, and quickly adjusted her mood, smiled slightly, and said: "I heard Lili said about you, you are quite talented. Our family also needs a talented person to help Lili in the future, otherwise she will be alone In the research institute, I don’t feel at ease either.”
What she meant was that Luo Ling'er would only be able to help Zhu Li in the future, and she would always be overwhelmed by Zhu Li.
He even explicitly and secretly emphasized that everything in the Yu family belongs to Zhu Li, and Zhu Li is the legitimate heir of the Yu family.
Luo Ling'er was quite impatient, but she still held her temper and didn't fight back to Mother Zhu on the spot.
She could hear the warning inside and outside Zhu's mother's words.
But she promised Yu Yaru and Dongfang Ming to eat this meal, not because Xiao was thinking about Yu's family.
"Sister-in-law, if you didn't come to eat, why don't I ask Dongfang Ming to take you back?" Yu Yaru seemed weak, but her tone at the moment was very tough, and she didn't even save mother Zhu any face.
Mother Zhu's face froze, a little embarrassed, but she had seen the big scene, gathered the shawl on her body, and immediately smiled: "How come. Of course I came here for dinner sincerely. I even prepared a gift for Linger. "
She was taking out the brooch box.
Mrs. Mou is here.
She recognized the girl with outstanding temperament in the crowd at a glance, combined with the appearance of Luo Ling'er that her grandson usually described to her, she immediately walked over, walked up to the girl, and said very affectionately: "Miss Luo, you are Luo Ling'er Miss?"
The Mou family is only a small force in the southeast region, but the old lady Mou was quite famous when she was young.
Otherwise, Mrs. Mou wouldn't have invited Gao Qingjiang to attend her birthday.
Zhu's mother really recognized Mrs. Mou, she frowned, and her movements slowed down, not knowing why Mrs. Mou was looking for Luo Ling'er.
"You are?" Luo Ling'er had never met Mrs. Mou, so she didn't realize it for a while.
Mrs. Mou was more graceful than Mother Zhu, and smiled lovingly: "I am Mou Qiangsheng's grandmother, you can call me Grandma Mou."
Mou Qiangsheng's grandma?
Luo Linger remembered.
When she had a quarrel with the Gao family before, Mrs. Mou specifically asked Mou Qiangsheng to call her, saying that she could speak to the Mou family whenever she needed.
After Luo Ling'er came to her senses, she politely called someone.
The old lady immediately smiled, and after some pleasantries, she immediately said: "By the way, Miss Luo, I have prepared a gift for you. Congratulations on recognizing a good godmother, and congratulations on entering a top laboratory."
She had already prepared the gift and handed it to Luo Linger.
Luo Ling'er didn't open it.
The old lady smiled and said: "This is a property of the Mou family, it is just a small property, and we can't play its role even if we hold it in our hands, so I will give it to you as a gift. If you want to use it yourself, you can give it away to others.”
The Mou family's industries are highly regarded by many big families, and all industries are very profitable.
Mrs. Mou actually gave the business to a young girl?
The old lady is getting old, is she crazy?
Mother Zhu was somewhat shocked.
I really can't understand the reason why Mrs. Mou is so generous.
Even if Luo Ling'er entered the research institute and the top laboratory, she was just an ordinary person in the research institute.
After Mrs. Mou delivered the presents, several people came behind to deliver presents.
You Ling carelessly gave a patent to Luo Ling'er, a book that Du Xingli gave, but I don't know what it is for now.
Then came the Gao family.
Unexpectedly, the Gao family did not intentionally make things difficult this time, and even gave Luo Ling'er a jade stone, which is very valuable in terms of color.
In addition, several families also gave gifts.
These families mainly look at the gifts given for Yu Yaru's face, and the gifts are not cheap, and they are expensive.
In a blink of an eye, several people came over to give gifts.
Zhu's mother and Yu Yaru stood in place more and more awkwardly.
Fortunately, all the presents have been delivered.
Dongfang Ming noticed them and said, "Is this for Ling'er? Give me the things."
Zhu's mother was already a little embarrassed, so she passed the things to Dongfang Ming and was about to speak.
Lu Ziyin, who had been standing by Luo Linger's side without saying a word, suddenly said elegantly, "Uncle, why don't you open it and have a look? I'm curious about what gift you got."
"This?" Dongfang Ming is not an unknown person in the southeast region. Luo Ling'er introduced Lu Ziyin to him before, and he also checked Lu Ziyin in private.
So Dongfang Ming knew Lu Ziyin's background.
Lu Ziyin is the one behind Lu Meng.
It's not easy to mess with in the southeast.
A very dangerous person.
However, Dongfang Ming had observed the other party and saw that the other party did not treat Luo Ling'er badly, so he pretended not to know and never mentioned it.
At this moment, seeing Lu Ziyin mentioning the gift from Zhu's mother, he already knew it in his heart.
He hesitated for a moment, but opened the box anyway.
Inside the box was a brooch.
Although the diamond is small, it still has a chic design.
Dongfang Ming looked at it, and could see that Mother Zhu and the Zhu family didn't value Luo Ling'er behind this gift, but he didn't say anything.
"This brooch is very beautiful." Seeing the brooch in the box, Lu Ziyin suddenly picked it up, and stared at Zhu Mu with a pair of deep eyes: "Is this a donkey brand brooch?"
Donkey brand can be regarded as a high-end series brand that has become popular in the southeast region recently, and it is not particularly difficult for Zhu's mother to produce products of this brand.
Zhu's mother had an ominous premonition, and replied in a shy way: "Yes, I think Linger is quite suitable for this brooch."
Luo Ling'er raised her eyebrows, glanced at the brooch in the box, and said nothing.
But Lu Ziyin picked it up, lowered his head and played with it for a while, then suddenly said: "Auntie, I remember that the donkey brand has an independent anti-counterfeiting code..."
Everyone looked towards him.
When Yu Yaru heard this, her face sank a little, and she looked at Zhu Li and Zhu's mother in disbelief.
Before he could finish his sentence, Zhu's mother reacted greatly, seemed very angry, and said sharply: "You mean that I send fake products? Who do you think our Zhu family is, we won't send fake things."
Luo Ling'er also looked at the man in surprise, she could tell at a glance that the brooch in the box was made by the donkey brand.
It should not be a fake.
But she believes that Lu Ziyin is not a person who does things without reason.
It is definitely meaningful for him to mention the brand of this brooch.
really.
The man with outstanding appearance just smiled slightly, but his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and he showed the brooch to Dongfang Ming: "I didn't say this brooch is fake. In addition to yards, there is a detail."
"Everything they have is waxed on the rings to make sure each design arrives in the customer's hands for the first time."
Mother Zhu's expression changed slightly, she had turned livid, a little embarrassed.
"Don't say it."
How could Lu Ziyin stop and expose her in front of Yu Yaru and Dongfang Ming: "This brooch is indeed very beautiful, but it is second-hand. The wax seal on the lock of this brooch is gone, it should be someone I didn’t wear it until I tried it on and it didn’t fit.”
Du Xingli and the others were not here, but Mrs. Mou had something to say to Luo Ling'er, so she didn't leave.
Hearing Lu Ziyin's words at this moment, the old lady's wise eyes were very refined, she smiled, and interjected, as if she was just joking, and clearly mocked Zhu's mother: "I remember that the Zhu family is not short of money, there is no need to send Let’s give a second-hand one as a gift. Could it be…”
She was very measured and didn't finish what Mo Fei said later.
Zhou Fan answered the conversation, and said sternly beside him: "Some time ago, the donkey brand gave Ms. Luo a lot of new products, but Ms. Luo usually doesn't like to wear them, and they are all piled up in the grocery room of our villa."
"Oh." Lao Jiu deliberately glanced at Zhu Mu and Zhu Li, and said in surprise, "Isn't it second-hand?"
Zhou Fan knew his character too well, so he immediately answered, "Old Jiu, what are you talking about. Ms. Luo can't even wear new products, so how can she use second-hand ones."
"So that's how it is." Lao Jiu patted his head and looked at Mother Zhu and Zhu Li with a smile: "I'm sorry, both of you. Our sister-in-law doesn't care for second-hand goods, why don't you take this brooch back? She wants these things Son, even if it’s not from this brand, I can give it to her. It’s just a brooch, our family is poor and we can barely afford it.”
His phrase 'the family is poor' is clearly a satire on Zhu's mother and Zhu Li, and they are just disgusting.
Lu Ziyin was calmer than him, but his eyes were extremely dark. He stared at Mother Zhu and Zhu Li, and the smile on his mouth faded a lot: "Maybe they are not short of money."
What could be the reason for a person who is not short of money but sends second-hand gifts to congratulate others-it is nothing more than looking down on the other party from the heart!
Mother Zhu explained embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, I took the wrong gift."
Julie clenched her fist even more, wishing to push back after being humiliated again and again.
"Sister-in-law, did you really take the wrong gift?"
Yu Yaru was not stupid at all when she was able to enter the research institute and the laboratory, but she has always tolerated the Zhu family.
As long as Zhu's mother didn't do too much, she usually tolerated it.
But this time, Yu Yaru was very disappointed with Zhu's mother.
When she looked at Mother Zhu again, her emotions had faded a lot, and she said flatly, "I'll let Dongfang Ming send you back."
"Yating!" Zhu's mother was shocked, and hurriedly tried to explain her behavior.
Yu Yaru made it clear that she didn't want to talk to her anymore, and said succinctly: "Let me make it clear today. How to arrange my things is my business, and the Zhu family has no right to intervene."
Mother Zhu's expression changed, and her face twitched violently.
Yu Yaru had never spoken so harshly before.
This time, she didn't save face at all.
"In addition, I gave Lili a chance, but she didn't pass the test. She was born in this way in the research institute. I taught her, but she can only reach the current level. You don't have to think about those things. She got my things and learned the same thing. No."
If she said what she said before, Julie could still remain indifferent.
Then Yu Yaru said in public that she could only go so far in the research institute, Zhu Li couldn't accept it at all, and she couldn't help asking: "What about her?"
Zhu Li pointed at Luo Ling'er and said indignantly: "Auntie, if you say I'm not worthy, is she worthy of your teaching?"
Yu Yaru didn't want to hit her, but expressed her intentions as tactfully as possible. She didn't expect Zhu Li to react so strongly.
She was silent for a moment, looked at the angry Julie, and said lightly, "Have you been in a top laboratory for three months?"
"..."
"If I remember correctly, it took you 8 years to enter the top laboratory. How many three months are there in 8 years, how far is the gap between you and her."
Yu Yaru said very directly: "What is a genius? A genius is a few people favored by God. I don't despise you. I just tell you the fact that some people are born with talents that ordinary people don't have."
"And you have no talent."
You have no talent!
Zhu Li seemed to have been slapped severely, her face was flushed red, and she could hardly control her anger and dissatisfaction.
She said to Zhu's mother with a straight face, "Mom, let's go."
"Lili, don't be impulsive." Zhu's mother was obviously still hesitating.
Yu Yaru's connections are not even comparable to the Yu family's. How could Mother Zhu willingly hand over these to an outsider? She still thinks that Yu Yaru has no children, so everything about Yu Yaru should belong to her daughter.
"Are you going?" Zhu Li was competitive since she was a child, and she grew up being praised by others. She couldn't bear this tone, stomped her feet, and shook her hands: "If you don't go, I will go!"
She didn't even bother to say goodbye to Yu Yaru and Dongfang Ming, she just left.
"Lili." Seeing her turn around and leave, Zhu's mother panicked and was about to catch up, but she did not forget to smooth things over: "Yating, we will come to see you another day."
Yu Yaru hasn't spoken yet.
Luo Ling'er blocked her way without a trace, and stuffed the box she got back from Dongfang Ming into her hand.With very sharp eyebrows and eyes, raised lips, and a dry tone: "I can't bear this gift, you can take it back."
Zhu's mother was angry, because of Yu Yaru's face, she didn't want to get into trouble with Luo Ling'er.
I should have said a few more words of hypocrisy, but Zhu Li walked so fast that she was almost out of sight in a blink of an eye. She couldn't care about anything else, so she could only take the box back and said embarrassingly: "Auntie will give you another gift some other day."
After Luo Ling'er returned the things to her, she raised her eyebrows and said in a frivolous tone, "No need."
Zhu's mother met her dark eyes, and heard the girl casually say to herself: "We don't know that well."
"I don't take things from strangers either."
It is clear at a glance who the stranger is!
Luo Ling'er almost had 'unfamiliarity' engraved on her face.
Mother Zhu's face felt hot, she was from a big family in the southeast region after all, and it wasn't that she didn't want to lose face.
She endured it, but she still couldn't hold back, took her things, and walked away quickly.
Yu Yaru looked at the backs of the two of them going away, and apologized to Luo Ling'er wearily: "Ling'er, I'm sorry, I didn't expect them to do this, if I had known, I wouldn't have invited them."
Isn't this embarrassing people?
But Yu Yaru never thought that Zhu's mother would do such an unseemly act before. She called the people from Zhu's family because she wanted to introduce Luo Ling'er to Zhu's mother and they would get to know each other, so as to pave the way for Luo Ling'er in the future.
"It's okay." Luo Ling'er didn't take this episode to heart, comforted Yu Yaru a few words, then lowered her eyes and said to Dongfang Ming: "Let's go in."
There are about thirty tables in the banquet hall of Shengjiangshan Hotel, and every table is full.
It can be seen how much Dongfang Ming and Yu Yaru attach importance to this time.
Over there at the main table.
Lu Xingfeng and Gao Shiqiang sat at the same table.
The Gao family has nothing to do with the Pharmacy Association on weekdays, but everyone is from the southeast region and knows each other.
So Gao Shiqiang greeted the other party politely: "Old Lu, long time no see. You have always lived in country D, and you have been looking for you for many banquets before, and you have no time to come back. Why do you have time to make a special trip this time? "
The Gao family received an invitation letter from Yu Yaru.
But Yu Yaru didn't even mention it to her own family, and the information received by Gao's family was similar to that found by Mother Zhu and the others.
The other party's surname is Luo.
Gao Shiqiang's eyes drifted away, and he fell on Du Xingli at the next table without any trace.
Du Xingli didn't look at their table, but was talking to You Ling.From time to time, someone would go over to greet Du Xingli with a wine glass.
Gao Shiqiang withdrew his gaze, his deep and elegant face showed no extra expression, but his eyes narrowed thoughtfully.
Lu Xingfeng was not familiar with him, but when this kind of social occasion came across, he still maintained his basic politeness, touched the teacup, and smiled slightly: "Mr. Gao is polite, but it's hard for you to remember me. I didn't come here specially, it happened to be in the southeast region I have something to do here, so I'm here to handle it. A friend of mine heard about it and invited me over for a meal. Before I came, I didn't expect that there would be so many people today, and she told me to have a casual meal. "
Gao Shiqiang squinted his eyes again, but didn't make a sound.
When Lu Xingfeng mentioned Luo Linger, his liking was visible to the naked eye, his smile deepened, and he said, "I knew that today was her wedding ceremony, so I prepared a gift for her. But I came here in a hurry, and I didn't bring a gift, so I had to leave it." Replenish her."
Gao Shiqiang already had guesses in his heart, looked at him, and asked, "Old Lu, who is the person you're talking about, Luo Ling'er?" (End of this chapter)
"it is good."
Luo Ling'er hung up the phone, put the phone away, and looked down.
You Ling sent her a message early in the morning, asking if she had set off.
Du Xingli also sent her a message last night, staying up at one o'clock in the morning, asking her if she wanted to wear formal clothes to attend tomorrow.
Then came the news about Mou Qiangsheng.
He almost meant that, mainly to ask Mrs. Mou what gift she likes.
Mrs. Mu also wanted to congratulate her in person.
Luo Linger didn't invite many people here.
In addition to inviting Lu Ziyin, Lao Jiu and Zhou Fan, she also invited a few people who usually have a good relationship with her in the research institute.
That is, the three members of the tenth group.
Mou Qiangsheng, Ding Lei and Ming Nuan.
Mou Qiangsheng made an appointment for the old lady before, and the old lady took the initiative to express her concern several times, so Luo Linger asked Mou Qiangsheng to bring the old lady over for dinner.
So she invited a total of seven or eight people on her side.
She didn't know how many people Yu Yaru and Dongfang Ming had invited.
But Yu Yaru told her before that today was just a small banquet, and he only invited some close friends to have a meal together.
Luo Ling'er didn't go to Shengjiangshan Hotel, so she doesn't know the situation of Shengjiangshan Hotel.
According to Yu Yaru's words, she visually judged that there were not many people eating today.
About two or three tables.
Luo Ling'er checked the time, pulled out the chair and got up to take a shower.
Anyway, she and Dongfang Ming made an appointment before 11:30, and now it's only [-]:[-]. After taking a shower, she can look at the detailed information of the experiment that Song Fei gave her. She leaves at about [-]:[-], and the time is stuck Just right.
Mou family.
Mrs. Mou got up early in the morning, changed her clothes, and did her hair again. Many people came and went from the house.
Mou's father and mother were not invited, and they were a little dumbfounded when they saw how much the old lady attached to the meal at noon today.
At the beginning of the old lady's 70th birthday, it seemed that she didn't pay much attention to it.
"Miss Luo kindly invited me, an old lady, to meet the world. We can't embarrass Miss Luo." The old lady Mou looked at herself in the mirror, thought for a while, and took off the cumbersome jade jewelry, leaving only a scarlet on her neck. The necklace strung with emerald beads is very dignified: "Okay, I will be like this. Johnson, how about you? Are you ready?"
Mou Qiangsheng looked down at his clothes, and looked at his grandmother innocently: "Can I just wear this?"
Mrs. Mou saw that he was wearing casual attire, which was gentle and gentle, and looked good.
She originally wanted Mou Qiangsheng to change into a formal suit, but when the words came to her lips, she thought about Luo Ling'er's temper that Mou Qiangsheng had been whispering in her ears on weekdays, so she just thought about it.
The old lady Mou didn't waste time, she looked at the time, and said to Mou Qiangsheng, "Johnson, we will go there an hour earlier."
"Miss Luo invited us. In order to show respect, we should go there a little earlier. If we can help, we can still help."
Mou Qiangsheng nodded and stopped asking: "Okay, I will arrange it."
He sent a message to Ding Lei and Ming Nuan, asking if they had set off.Then go to the driver and tell the driver to get ready to go...
……
After half an hour.
Shengjiangshan Hotel is overcrowded.
Many luxury cars that are rarely seen in the southeastern region are parked outside the Shengjiangshan Hotel.
Ding Lei and Ming Nuan arrived at the hotel one after the other. When they saw the battle outside, they looked at each other, but they didn't recover from the shock.
"The person I saw just now is the dean, right? The dean is here too..." Ming Nuan couldn't close his mouth, he was very shocked.
Ding Lei also looked at the people coming and going in the hotel, and his Qingjun face showed bewilderment for the first time: "I also saw the person in charge of the intermediate laboratory, Team Leader You."
"I know Team Leader You has a good relationship with Luo Ling'er." Ming Nuan was not surprised by this, she knew more people than Ding Lei, when she saw Dongfang Ming greeting guests at the entrance of the hotel, the corners of her mouth twitched, and said, "House It’s not surprising that Chang and Team Leader You came here, but the problem is that I also saw the Gao family, the Dongfang family, as well as the Pharmacy Association, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and the Hacker Alliance..."
She mentioned the names of several forces in a row, and almost included most of the famous and respected forces in the southeast region.
Only then did Ming Nuan sullenly face. She was so shocked that her facial muscles were a little weak, and she said to Ding Lei expressionlessly: "These forces come from important people, and they are all one of the people in charge."
The two are talking.
A sports car stops.
The driver went to open the door from behind.
A pair of well-dressed mother and daughter got out of the car, and the two were very eye-catching in their bright clothes.
Ming Nuan saw the two people walking in with the younger brother who parked in the hotel at a glance.
She pointed at the person who entered in surprise, and said, "Julie?"
"?" Ding Lei was taken aback.
Ming Nuan became more and more sure that he saw the right person, and pointed to the front for Ding Lei to see: "Take a look, is that person Zhu Li?"
Julie is very recognizable.
She is tall and has a good temperament. She belongs to the kind of beauty at first glance.
Ding Lei was extremely astonished when he recognized that the other party was Zhu Li.
Ming Nuan put down her hands and muttered to herself: "Fuck, Zhu Li is eating here too? I won't bump into her later. That's too disgusting!"
Ding Lei had a strong feeling, and asked her back: "Do you think we will have dinner with her at noon?"
"What?" Ming Nuan suspected at first that she had heard it wrong, and when she realized it, she scratched her head and said with a mask on her face, "You said we had dinner with her? It's impossible, right? Luo Ling'er doesn't have friendship with her, you don't know How she targets us every day in the lab."
Ding Lei silently turned his attention back to Zhu Li who was about to enter, and couldn't help thinking of a rumor circulating in the institute recently.
"Why are there so many people in Shengjiangshan Hotel today? At first I thought the dean and group leader You were called by Luo Ling'er, but now that I see Julie, I'm not sure. What's the big deal in Shengjiangshan Hotel today? Most of the southeast region has come to join the event."
After Ming Nuan finished speaking, he thought for a while and said, "Let's keep a low profile and don't provoke these people. We can't afford to provoke any of the people here."
"En." Ding Lei responded.
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in his pocket rang.
Ming Nuan asked: "Senior brother Mou, is he here?"
Ding Lei took out his mobile phone and looked down, it was indeed Mou Qiangsheng calling him.
He picked it up easily.
Mou Qiangsheng's voice came from the phone: "Ding Lei, are you here yet?"
"We just arrived."
"Ming Nuan with you?" Mou Qiangsheng did not forget to ask Ming Nuan.
Ding Lei looked at Ming Nuan, nodded, then realized that Mou Qiangsheng couldn't see him, and whispered, "She's with me."
"Where are you?"
Ding Lei looked around and told him the location.
Not long after they landed on the spot, Mou Qiangsheng came to look for them.
As soon as Ming Nuan saw Mou Qiangsheng, he immediately mentioned to him the people he saw entering the hotel, and smacked his lips with emotion: "I don't know what a big day it is in the southeast region today, so many people came to Shengjiangshan Hotel."
Mou Qiangsheng looked at her in surprise, and asked, "You don't know?"
Ming Nuan was puzzled: "Know what?"
Did she miss the horse?
Mou Qiangsheng saw that she really didn't know, rubbed his temples, and said to her: "They are all people who came to Luo Linger's confession banquet."
Ming Nuan: "?"
She was completely stunned by Mou Qiangsheng's words.
Ding Lei was a little better, and said to Mou Qiangsheng calmly: "Luo Ling'er told us that it was just a regular meal. You just said, the banquet?"
"Ah."
Mou Qiangsheng has known them for three or four years, and the relationship between the three has always been very good. He did not hide the two of them at all, and simply explained to Ding Lei and Ming Nuan, then raised his hand and touched the bridge of his nose, and said helplessly: "I She probably didn't know that the banquet was so big, and she even invited my grandma to have dinner together. My grandma..."
Mou Qiangsheng didn't like to talk about some family matters, he swallowed half of what he said, and said to the two of them: "Let's go in first. Otherwise, there will be more and more people later, and it will be even more difficult for us to say hello."
They are all fringe figures in the research institute, and they are even more fringe in the southeast region. Usually, they can't even touch the fringes of Gao Ziyuan's circle, let alone contact with the standard banquets where Du Xingli, Gao Shiqiang and others are present.
Ming Nuan was completely dumbfounded.
Her whole body seemed to be walking on cotton, she was floating when she walked, and followed Mou Qiangsheng all the way to the hotel.
She wanted to call Luo Linger several times, but when she touched the edge of the phone, she retracted her hand again.
Luo Ling'er's character, she has been with her for a few months, and she still understands a little bit.
Luo Ling'er told her and Ding Lei that it was just a regular meal, and it's possible that she really didn't regard today's lunch as a big event.
villa.
"Miss Luo, are we ready to go?" Zhou Fan packed his things, just in time to see Luo Ling'er coming down from the stairs, and hurriedly put down what he was doing, and asked her.
Luo Ling'er was still dressed in casual clothes, and she looked very unrestrained. She came down from the second floor, saw Zhou Fan, and responded.
Zhou Fan immediately went out to drive.
Lao Jiu was playing a game, and when he heard Luo Ling'er came down, he also quit the game, put his phone aside with a smile, and greeted the girl: "Good morning, sister-in-law."
"morning."
Luo Linger opened the chair and sat down, seeing Lu Ziyin looking at his phone, she turned her head and asked him: "What are you today?"
"Huh?" The man looked back at her lazily.
Luo Ling'er silently swallowed the words that came to her lips: "It's nothing."
Luo Ling'er picked up the water glass at hand, took a sip of water, lowered her eyes, vaguely feeling that someone was wearing extravagant clothes today.
But she wasn't sure if she was being overwhelmed.
At this moment, Zhou Fan prepared his car and came in from the outside, and said to the people in the villa, "Young Master Lu, Miss Luo, we can start now."
Lao Jiu stretched his waist, walked to Luo Ling'er, and interrupted the girl's thoughts with a smile: "Sister-in-law, let's go."
Luo Ling'er didn't think about it anymore, put the cup on the table, put her hands in her pockets, and only took her mobile phone, she said to the two of them, "Let's go."
……
Inside the Shengjiangshan Hotel.
Yu Yaru told Du Xingli and You Ling to sit down, turned back, and asked Dongfang Ming: "Linger and the others haven't arrived yet?"
Dongfang Ming raised his hand to check the time, and comforted her: "I made an appointment with Linger at 11:30, and she is probably coming soon."
"By the way, have you arranged for Linger's friends in the research institute?" Yu Yaru nodded, then remembered Ding Lei and the others, and hurriedly asked him.
Dongfang Ming held her shoulder distressedly, with a helpless expression on his heroic face: "Don't worry, I've made all the arrangements."
"Where did you arrange them to sit?" Yu Yaru gave him a reproachful look, but still asked uneasy.
Dongfangming knew that she was worried that she didn't arrange Luo Linger's friends well, so she pointed to the hotel: "Hey, I arranged for them to have a table with their dean, and Team Leader You and Gao Zhiyi are at that table. Gao Zhiyi will take care of them."
Du Xingli should sit at the main table.
But Du Xingli is low-key and doesn't like to show off.
Yu Yaru understood Du Xingli's character, and arranged Du Xingli at the table next to the main table very considerately.
Even if Du Xingli didn't sit at the main table, the table he was at was no different from the main table.
Generally speaking, at a table with people of Du Xingli's level, important people must be arranged to sit together. No matter Ding Lei, Ming Nuan, or Mou Qiangsheng and Mrs. Mou are not qualified to eat at the same table with Du Xingli.
Dongfang Ming and Yu Yaru thought of going together!
Today is Luo Ling'er's confession banquet, and Luo Ling'er is one of the protagonists doing her part today.
Luo Linger's friends were all called by her.
Even if Ding Lei and the others are only marginal figures in the southeast region, they are still very important.
The main guests sit at the main table, which is fine.
Hearing what he said, Yu Yaru put her heart back, smiled, patted Dongfang Ming's backhand, and said gently: "That's good, I'm afraid you didn't arrange them well."
At this time, Mother Zhu and Zhu Li came over.
When they saw Yu Yaru, they greeted them warmly: "Yating."
Zhu Li also behaved gracefully, and greeted Yu Yaru politely: "Auntie, have you been feeling better recently?"
Zhu Li was sent to Yu Yaru by Zhu's mother since she was a child. Yu Yaru was very familiar with Zhu Li. He also smiled when she heard this, and said to her gently: "My health is much better."
Zhu's mother looked around for a while, and said to the two of them: "Yating, the person you mentioned, hasn't come yet?"
She didn't even bother to mention her daughter.
Mother Zhu made it clear that she didn't take an outsider like Luo Ling'er seriously.
Dongfang Ming frowned, since Mother Zhu was Yu Yaru's relative, he couldn't get angry, so he just said, "She's on her way, she'll be there soon."
"Oh." Mother Zhu stretched out her hands to brush her hair, looked at the two of them dignifiedly, and smiled slightly: "Didn't she come here earlier?"
Dongfang Ming's smile paused slightly, his face sullen, his brows frowned and he stopped talking.
Seeing that his expression seemed a little angry, Mother Zhu immediately covered her mouth and smiled, as if she didn't mean it: "Oh, I thought she would come early for such a big event. Don't worry about it, I didn't Otherwise, I'm just asking."
Dongfang Ming looked in Yu Yaru's direction worriedly.
Sure enough, he saw his wife frowned.
He felt depressed, wishing to drive away Zhu Mu and Zhu Li, but both of them were Yu Yaru's natal family, so he couldn't embarrass Yu Yaru.
Dongfang Ming could only hold back the anger in his heart, and changed the topic with a smirk: "She will be there soon. Lili, let's go, I will arrange a seat for you."
Zhu's mother saw that he was very protective of the goddaughter who hadn't shown up yet, and her dissatisfaction deepened.
She blocked Zhu Li's way indiscriminately, and said to Dongfang Ming with a smile, "I heard that Mr. Du is here today?"
Dongfang knew that Mother Zhu was talking about Du Xingli, so he nodded and said flatly, "Mr. Du came to congratulate Yating."
Zhu's mother rolled her eyes, immediately grabbed Zhu Li's hand, and proposed, "Lili is from the research institute, why don't we sit at Mr. Du's table?"
Dongfang Ming saw her purpose, and refused in a flattering way: "I'm sorry, Mr. Du's table is already full. I will arrange for you at another table, which is also the position of the main table."
Mother Zhu didn't expect Dongfang Ming to reject her, so she frowned immediately: "What a coincidence, are the seats full?"
Dongfang Ming raised his jaw slightly, his face was calm and handsome even if he was over 41 years old, with a mature charm of a man.
He looked at Mother Zhu and Zhu Li with piercing eyes, and said directly, "Linger called some friends over, who are also from the research institute. Yating and I arranged them at Mrs. Du's table. That table is already full."
Linger, the research institute...
Zhu Li's heart skipped a beat. She originally disdained to lick her face like Mother Zhu and wanted to sit at the same table with Du Xingli. At this moment, her eyebrows and eyes moved slightly, and she immediately asked, "Little uncle, the Linger you're talking about..."
Dongfang Ming was about to speak.
Luo Linger and his party have arrived.
As soon as she arrived at the place, she greeted Yu Yaru and Dongfang Ming: "Auntie, uncle."
She had already seen Julie when she came.
It's just that she wasn't interested in Julie, so she wasn't too worried about it.
After Luo Ling'er walked over, she greeted Dongfang Ming and Yu Yaru respectively, and introduced Lu Ziyin and Lao Jiu to them.
"Auntie, this is my friend, Lu Ziyin."
Luo Ling'er pointed to the other side, paused, and introduced: "This is Lao Jiu and Zhou Fan."
It was the first time for Lao Jiu and Zhou Fan to see Yu Yaru and Dongfang Ming. On the way, they heard how amazing Yu Yaru was from Lu Ziyin's science popularization.
Both of them respected Yu Yaru very much, and greeted politely: "Hi auntie, I am Lao Jiu. My sister-in-law's friend."
Zhou Fan also greeted Yu Yaru and Dongfang Ming respectfully, and introduced himself politely.
Lu Ziyin was the last to speak: "Auntie, hello, I'm Lu Ziyin, you can call me Xiao Lu."
He has an outstanding appearance and an extraordinary bearing, and he is dressed exceptionally handsomely today, he is simply here to recruit people.
really.
Julie frowned and stared at him for a long moment.
Suddenly, he remembered the off-road vehicle he had seen, and the man on the off-road vehicle who did not show his face.
Could this Lu Ziyin belong to Luo Linger, boyfriend?
The idea just popped up.
Zhu Li felt extremely depressed in her heart, with a feeling of being overwhelmed everywhere, which made her breathless.
The moment she saw Luo Ling'er, her expression was ugly to the naked eye. Anyone with a pair of eyes could tell that she held deep hostility towards Luo Ling'er.
"It's you?"
Zhu Li's tone was cold, and she went straight to the girl.
Yu Yaru was still talking to Lu Ziyin and the others, but upon hearing this, she immediately frowned, with a hint of warning, and said, "Lili, what are you doing?"
Dongfang Ming also had a stern face because of Zhu Li's tone of rushing over, and he could hardly hide his dissatisfaction.
Mother Zhu reacted quickly, and immediately stood in front of Julie, looking dignified and elegant, looked up and down at Luo Ling'er, a trace of disdain and contempt flashed in her eyes, and she had a friendly smile on her face: "This is What do you mean you want to recognize as a daughter?"
She reached out to pull Luo Linger: "Your name is Linger?"
Luo Ling'er avoided her hand without a trace, but because of Yu Yaru's hindrance, she still gave her a face-saving response: "Luo Ling'er."
"Luo Ling'er?" Zhu's mother was a little embarrassed at first, and she also got angry, thinking that Luo Ling'er took advantage of their family and put on a show, which was too arrogant.
At this moment, her mind turned, and she seemed to think of something. Combined with her daughter's reaction, she realized: "You are the newcomer who entered the research institute this year."
This sentence is full of malice.
Luo Ling'er reached out and pressed down the brim of her hat, ignoring her.
The smiles on the faces of Lao Jiu and Zhou Fan also faded a lot.
Luo Ling'er, a relative of the godmother's family, is a bit annoying.
The atmosphere was tense for a while.
Zhu's mother is also a person who has seen the world, and soon realized that her emotions were too exposed, and everyone noticed her attitude.
She was not embarrassed, and quickly adjusted her mood, smiled slightly, and said: "I heard Lili said about you, you are quite talented. Our family also needs a talented person to help Lili in the future, otherwise she will be alone In the research institute, I don’t feel at ease either.”
What she meant was that Luo Ling'er would only be able to help Zhu Li in the future, and she would always be overwhelmed by Zhu Li.
He even explicitly and secretly emphasized that everything in the Yu family belongs to Zhu Li, and Zhu Li is the legitimate heir of the Yu family.
Luo Ling'er was quite impatient, but she still held her temper and didn't fight back to Mother Zhu on the spot.
She could hear the warning inside and outside Zhu's mother's words.
But she promised Yu Yaru and Dongfang Ming to eat this meal, not because Xiao was thinking about Yu's family.
"Sister-in-law, if you didn't come to eat, why don't I ask Dongfang Ming to take you back?" Yu Yaru seemed weak, but her tone at the moment was very tough, and she didn't even save mother Zhu any face.
Mother Zhu's face froze, a little embarrassed, but she had seen the big scene, gathered the shawl on her body, and immediately smiled: "How come. Of course I came here for dinner sincerely. I even prepared a gift for Linger. "
She was taking out the brooch box.
Mrs. Mou is here.
She recognized the girl with outstanding temperament in the crowd at a glance, combined with the appearance of Luo Ling'er that her grandson usually described to her, she immediately walked over, walked up to the girl, and said very affectionately: "Miss Luo, you are Luo Ling'er Miss?"
The Mou family is only a small force in the southeast region, but the old lady Mou was quite famous when she was young.
Otherwise, Mrs. Mou wouldn't have invited Gao Qingjiang to attend her birthday.
Zhu's mother really recognized Mrs. Mou, she frowned, and her movements slowed down, not knowing why Mrs. Mou was looking for Luo Ling'er.
"You are?" Luo Ling'er had never met Mrs. Mou, so she didn't realize it for a while.
Mrs. Mou was more graceful than Mother Zhu, and smiled lovingly: "I am Mou Qiangsheng's grandmother, you can call me Grandma Mou."
Mou Qiangsheng's grandma?
Luo Linger remembered.
When she had a quarrel with the Gao family before, Mrs. Mou specifically asked Mou Qiangsheng to call her, saying that she could speak to the Mou family whenever she needed.
After Luo Ling'er came to her senses, she politely called someone.
The old lady immediately smiled, and after some pleasantries, she immediately said: "By the way, Miss Luo, I have prepared a gift for you. Congratulations on recognizing a good godmother, and congratulations on entering a top laboratory."
She had already prepared the gift and handed it to Luo Linger.
Luo Ling'er didn't open it.
The old lady smiled and said: "This is a property of the Mou family, it is just a small property, and we can't play its role even if we hold it in our hands, so I will give it to you as a gift. If you want to use it yourself, you can give it away to others.”
The Mou family's industries are highly regarded by many big families, and all industries are very profitable.
Mrs. Mou actually gave the business to a young girl?
The old lady is getting old, is she crazy?
Mother Zhu was somewhat shocked.
I really can't understand the reason why Mrs. Mou is so generous.
Even if Luo Ling'er entered the research institute and the top laboratory, she was just an ordinary person in the research institute.
After Mrs. Mou delivered the presents, several people came behind to deliver presents.
You Ling carelessly gave a patent to Luo Ling'er, a book that Du Xingli gave, but I don't know what it is for now.
Then came the Gao family.
Unexpectedly, the Gao family did not intentionally make things difficult this time, and even gave Luo Ling'er a jade stone, which is very valuable in terms of color.
In addition, several families also gave gifts.
These families mainly look at the gifts given for Yu Yaru's face, and the gifts are not cheap, and they are expensive.
In a blink of an eye, several people came over to give gifts.
Zhu's mother and Yu Yaru stood in place more and more awkwardly.
Fortunately, all the presents have been delivered.
Dongfang Ming noticed them and said, "Is this for Ling'er? Give me the things."
Zhu's mother was already a little embarrassed, so she passed the things to Dongfang Ming and was about to speak.
Lu Ziyin, who had been standing by Luo Linger's side without saying a word, suddenly said elegantly, "Uncle, why don't you open it and have a look? I'm curious about what gift you got."
"This?" Dongfang Ming is not an unknown person in the southeast region. Luo Ling'er introduced Lu Ziyin to him before, and he also checked Lu Ziyin in private.
So Dongfang Ming knew Lu Ziyin's background.
Lu Ziyin is the one behind Lu Meng.
It's not easy to mess with in the southeast.
A very dangerous person.
However, Dongfang Ming had observed the other party and saw that the other party did not treat Luo Ling'er badly, so he pretended not to know and never mentioned it.
At this moment, seeing Lu Ziyin mentioning the gift from Zhu's mother, he already knew it in his heart.
He hesitated for a moment, but opened the box anyway.
Inside the box was a brooch.
Although the diamond is small, it still has a chic design.
Dongfang Ming looked at it, and could see that Mother Zhu and the Zhu family didn't value Luo Ling'er behind this gift, but he didn't say anything.
"This brooch is very beautiful." Seeing the brooch in the box, Lu Ziyin suddenly picked it up, and stared at Zhu Mu with a pair of deep eyes: "Is this a donkey brand brooch?"
Donkey brand can be regarded as a high-end series brand that has become popular in the southeast region recently, and it is not particularly difficult for Zhu's mother to produce products of this brand.
Zhu's mother had an ominous premonition, and replied in a shy way: "Yes, I think Linger is quite suitable for this brooch."
Luo Ling'er raised her eyebrows, glanced at the brooch in the box, and said nothing.
But Lu Ziyin picked it up, lowered his head and played with it for a while, then suddenly said: "Auntie, I remember that the donkey brand has an independent anti-counterfeiting code..."
Everyone looked towards him.
When Yu Yaru heard this, her face sank a little, and she looked at Zhu Li and Zhu's mother in disbelief.
Before he could finish his sentence, Zhu's mother reacted greatly, seemed very angry, and said sharply: "You mean that I send fake products? Who do you think our Zhu family is, we won't send fake things."
Luo Ling'er also looked at the man in surprise, she could tell at a glance that the brooch in the box was made by the donkey brand.
It should not be a fake.
But she believes that Lu Ziyin is not a person who does things without reason.
It is definitely meaningful for him to mention the brand of this brooch.
really.
The man with outstanding appearance just smiled slightly, but his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and he showed the brooch to Dongfang Ming: "I didn't say this brooch is fake. In addition to yards, there is a detail."
"Everything they have is waxed on the rings to make sure each design arrives in the customer's hands for the first time."
Mother Zhu's expression changed slightly, she had turned livid, a little embarrassed.
"Don't say it."
How could Lu Ziyin stop and expose her in front of Yu Yaru and Dongfang Ming: "This brooch is indeed very beautiful, but it is second-hand. The wax seal on the lock of this brooch is gone, it should be someone I didn’t wear it until I tried it on and it didn’t fit.”
Du Xingli and the others were not here, but Mrs. Mou had something to say to Luo Ling'er, so she didn't leave.
Hearing Lu Ziyin's words at this moment, the old lady's wise eyes were very refined, she smiled, and interjected, as if she was just joking, and clearly mocked Zhu's mother: "I remember that the Zhu family is not short of money, there is no need to send Let’s give a second-hand one as a gift. Could it be…”
She was very measured and didn't finish what Mo Fei said later.
Zhou Fan answered the conversation, and said sternly beside him: "Some time ago, the donkey brand gave Ms. Luo a lot of new products, but Ms. Luo usually doesn't like to wear them, and they are all piled up in the grocery room of our villa."
"Oh." Lao Jiu deliberately glanced at Zhu Mu and Zhu Li, and said in surprise, "Isn't it second-hand?"
Zhou Fan knew his character too well, so he immediately answered, "Old Jiu, what are you talking about. Ms. Luo can't even wear new products, so how can she use second-hand ones."
"So that's how it is." Lao Jiu patted his head and looked at Mother Zhu and Zhu Li with a smile: "I'm sorry, both of you. Our sister-in-law doesn't care for second-hand goods, why don't you take this brooch back? She wants these things Son, even if it’s not from this brand, I can give it to her. It’s just a brooch, our family is poor and we can barely afford it.”
His phrase 'the family is poor' is clearly a satire on Zhu's mother and Zhu Li, and they are just disgusting.
Lu Ziyin was calmer than him, but his eyes were extremely dark. He stared at Mother Zhu and Zhu Li, and the smile on his mouth faded a lot: "Maybe they are not short of money."
What could be the reason for a person who is not short of money but sends second-hand gifts to congratulate others-it is nothing more than looking down on the other party from the heart!
Mother Zhu explained embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, I took the wrong gift."
Julie clenched her fist even more, wishing to push back after being humiliated again and again.
"Sister-in-law, did you really take the wrong gift?"
Yu Yaru was not stupid at all when she was able to enter the research institute and the laboratory, but she has always tolerated the Zhu family.
As long as Zhu's mother didn't do too much, she usually tolerated it.
But this time, Yu Yaru was very disappointed with Zhu's mother.
When she looked at Mother Zhu again, her emotions had faded a lot, and she said flatly, "I'll let Dongfang Ming send you back."
"Yating!" Zhu's mother was shocked, and hurriedly tried to explain her behavior.
Yu Yaru made it clear that she didn't want to talk to her anymore, and said succinctly: "Let me make it clear today. How to arrange my things is my business, and the Zhu family has no right to intervene."
Mother Zhu's expression changed, and her face twitched violently.
Yu Yaru had never spoken so harshly before.
This time, she didn't save face at all.
"In addition, I gave Lili a chance, but she didn't pass the test. She was born in this way in the research institute. I taught her, but she can only reach the current level. You don't have to think about those things. She got my things and learned the same thing. No."
If she said what she said before, Julie could still remain indifferent.
Then Yu Yaru said in public that she could only go so far in the research institute, Zhu Li couldn't accept it at all, and she couldn't help asking: "What about her?"
Zhu Li pointed at Luo Ling'er and said indignantly: "Auntie, if you say I'm not worthy, is she worthy of your teaching?"
Yu Yaru didn't want to hit her, but expressed her intentions as tactfully as possible. She didn't expect Zhu Li to react so strongly.
She was silent for a moment, looked at the angry Julie, and said lightly, "Have you been in a top laboratory for three months?"
"..."
"If I remember correctly, it took you 8 years to enter the top laboratory. How many three months are there in 8 years, how far is the gap between you and her."
Yu Yaru said very directly: "What is a genius? A genius is a few people favored by God. I don't despise you. I just tell you the fact that some people are born with talents that ordinary people don't have."
"And you have no talent."
You have no talent!
Zhu Li seemed to have been slapped severely, her face was flushed red, and she could hardly control her anger and dissatisfaction.
She said to Zhu's mother with a straight face, "Mom, let's go."
"Lili, don't be impulsive." Zhu's mother was obviously still hesitating.
Yu Yaru's connections are not even comparable to the Yu family's. How could Mother Zhu willingly hand over these to an outsider? She still thinks that Yu Yaru has no children, so everything about Yu Yaru should belong to her daughter.
"Are you going?" Zhu Li was competitive since she was a child, and she grew up being praised by others. She couldn't bear this tone, stomped her feet, and shook her hands: "If you don't go, I will go!"
She didn't even bother to say goodbye to Yu Yaru and Dongfang Ming, she just left.
"Lili." Seeing her turn around and leave, Zhu's mother panicked and was about to catch up, but she did not forget to smooth things over: "Yating, we will come to see you another day."
Yu Yaru hasn't spoken yet.
Luo Ling'er blocked her way without a trace, and stuffed the box she got back from Dongfang Ming into her hand.With very sharp eyebrows and eyes, raised lips, and a dry tone: "I can't bear this gift, you can take it back."
Zhu's mother was angry, because of Yu Yaru's face, she didn't want to get into trouble with Luo Ling'er.
I should have said a few more words of hypocrisy, but Zhu Li walked so fast that she was almost out of sight in a blink of an eye. She couldn't care about anything else, so she could only take the box back and said embarrassingly: "Auntie will give you another gift some other day."
After Luo Ling'er returned the things to her, she raised her eyebrows and said in a frivolous tone, "No need."
Zhu's mother met her dark eyes, and heard the girl casually say to herself: "We don't know that well."
"I don't take things from strangers either."
It is clear at a glance who the stranger is!
Luo Ling'er almost had 'unfamiliarity' engraved on her face.
Mother Zhu's face felt hot, she was from a big family in the southeast region after all, and it wasn't that she didn't want to lose face.
She endured it, but she still couldn't hold back, took her things, and walked away quickly.
Yu Yaru looked at the backs of the two of them going away, and apologized to Luo Ling'er wearily: "Ling'er, I'm sorry, I didn't expect them to do this, if I had known, I wouldn't have invited them."
Isn't this embarrassing people?
But Yu Yaru never thought that Zhu's mother would do such an unseemly act before. She called the people from Zhu's family because she wanted to introduce Luo Ling'er to Zhu's mother and they would get to know each other, so as to pave the way for Luo Ling'er in the future.
"It's okay." Luo Ling'er didn't take this episode to heart, comforted Yu Yaru a few words, then lowered her eyes and said to Dongfang Ming: "Let's go in."
There are about thirty tables in the banquet hall of Shengjiangshan Hotel, and every table is full.
It can be seen how much Dongfang Ming and Yu Yaru attach importance to this time.
Over there at the main table.
Lu Xingfeng and Gao Shiqiang sat at the same table.
The Gao family has nothing to do with the Pharmacy Association on weekdays, but everyone is from the southeast region and knows each other.
So Gao Shiqiang greeted the other party politely: "Old Lu, long time no see. You have always lived in country D, and you have been looking for you for many banquets before, and you have no time to come back. Why do you have time to make a special trip this time? "
The Gao family received an invitation letter from Yu Yaru.
But Yu Yaru didn't even mention it to her own family, and the information received by Gao's family was similar to that found by Mother Zhu and the others.
The other party's surname is Luo.
Gao Shiqiang's eyes drifted away, and he fell on Du Xingli at the next table without any trace.
Du Xingli didn't look at their table, but was talking to You Ling.From time to time, someone would go over to greet Du Xingli with a wine glass.
Gao Shiqiang withdrew his gaze, his deep and elegant face showed no extra expression, but his eyes narrowed thoughtfully.
Lu Xingfeng was not familiar with him, but when this kind of social occasion came across, he still maintained his basic politeness, touched the teacup, and smiled slightly: "Mr. Gao is polite, but it's hard for you to remember me. I didn't come here specially, it happened to be in the southeast region I have something to do here, so I'm here to handle it. A friend of mine heard about it and invited me over for a meal. Before I came, I didn't expect that there would be so many people today, and she told me to have a casual meal. "
Gao Shiqiang squinted his eyes again, but didn't make a sound.
When Lu Xingfeng mentioned Luo Linger, his liking was visible to the naked eye, his smile deepened, and he said, "I knew that today was her wedding ceremony, so I prepared a gift for her. But I came here in a hurry, and I didn't bring a gift, so I had to leave it." Replenish her."
Gao Shiqiang already had guesses in his heart, looked at him, and asked, "Old Lu, who is the person you're talking about, Luo Ling'er?" (End of this chapter)
