Translator: Atlas Studios       Editor: Atlas Studios

As the car sped along, Li An’an was initially worried that they were heading to the Lu family residence. She had been there once when she was young, and it was Li Xinyi who brought her there. Lu Ming’s parents didn’t really like her, and she remembered the feeling of disdain towards her.

Fortunately, that wasn’t where they went this time. Instead, they were heading for a hotel.

Outside the luxurious hotel, the driver pulled to a stop. Chu Yichen got out of the car and extended his hand. Li An’an carefully placed her hand in his. She didn’t feel shy at all. Instead, she felt like she was going to the execution ground!

She raised her head and puffed out her chest, and psyched herself up!cAfter all, Chu Yichen was by her side. She had to borrow his aura!

In the banquet hall, Lu Ming was in a light blue suit, looking gentle and refined. He held a glass of wine in one hand and with his other hand, he held Li Xinyi’s hand as he chatted with her and Li Luhua.

“Auntie, thank you for the fine education you’ve given Xinyi. She’s of great help to me today!”

“Don’t say that. Given our families’ close relationship, there’s no need to stand in ceremony. You know very well that Xinyi has always been a presentable and extremely capable young lady, both at home and socially. If she hadn’t entered the entertainment industry, she’d be managing the housework by herself. I often remind her that there are servants at home and she doesn’t have to do everything herself, but she refuses to listen. She says the practice will help her take better care of you in the future. What can I do!”

Li Luhua was wearing a black gown. She was almost 50 years old, but charming nevertheless! The woman was good with words and Lu Ming couldn’t help but smile at what she was saying. His gaze softened considerably as he looked at Li Xinyi.

“Mom, why are you saying all this? I do those things because I enjoy doing them.”

The mother-daughter pair echoed each other’s words. Actually, the one who did all these chores was Li An’an. But now, Li Xinyi was taking all the credit.

“Xinyi, why don’t you make some time, I’ll pay auntie and uncle an official visit! ”

Lu Ming took a sip of wine. He was no longer young and it was time to settle down. Besides, Xinyi would be of benefit to his career. She would make a very suitable wife for him.

“Ah, that would be great. Let’s do it this week! Your uncle and I will certainly prepare for the occasion!”

Li Luhua couldn’t stop smiling. Xinyi was here to entertain the guests, but it ended up that Lu Ming was considering marriage. They had finally achieved their goal.

“I’ll go over and entertain the guests.” Lu Ming went to the other side of the room.

“Mom, Lu Ming has agreed to marry me!” Li Xinyi covered her mouth and smiled smugly. Most of the women at the banquet were trying to please Lu Ming. They wanted to catch his eye, but he only had eyes for her! She was the star of the day.

“Congratulations, my daughter. I told you that Lu Ming would choose you. I’ll get the servants to tidy up the house when I get home.”

“Mom, I’m so happy.” Li Xinyi looked at the banquet hall and was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. The next time a banquet was held, it would be her and Lu Ming’s wedding.

She had indeed made the right move by entering the entertainment industry. It made her more knowledgeable and she picked up quite a few tricks! She was a perfect existence in Lu Ming’s eyes.

As for Li An’an, who was so good at cooking, she could take a hike! Who knew if she was even alive, so how could she fight with her?

“CEO Lu! CEO Chu is here!” Lu Ming’s assistant walked over and whispered in his ear. Among the people invited today, Chu Yichen was the most important. Moreover, the two families were working together, so CEO Lu had to go over and greet him.

“I’m sorry, please excuse me.” Lu Ming ended his conversation with his business partner and walked towards Chu Yichen. After taking a few steps, he was stunned. Chu Yichen was holding a glass of wine and talking to someone proudly. There was a woman next to him. He could not see her face clearly. Just her back view was enough to make one’s imagination run wild!

He was curious. Chu Yichen had never brought a woman to a banquet before.. Which family was this girl from?
