In the Lu family’s living room.
They were seated around two big dining tables as they ate.
As the host, Lu Manman toasted them one by one.
Wen Yun stayed by Lu Manman’s side throughout. Even though they weren’t officially married yet, he was already regarded as half a member of the Lu family.
Lu Manman maintained her smile the entire time, looking very generous.
Everyone in Wen City knew that Lu Manman was gentle, elegant, sensible, and even peerlessly beautiful. She was hailed as the most perfect woman to appear in Wen City after hundreds of years in terms of looks and talent. But what many people did not know was that Lu Manman seemed to restrain herself in front of Old Master Lu just so that she could set off by contrast to Lu Xuanran’s outstanding self.
Everything that happened in her previous life made Lu Manman laugh.
Even if she had not done it on purpose, what was Lu Xuanran considered? Did he really think that everyone in Wen City was an idiot?!
She would never submit to him again!
“It’s time for Manman and Wen Yun’s toast after we’re done with Old Master Lu’s birthday. I’d like to congratulate you in advance,” Di Yi’s father, Di Hong, said as he raised his glass.
Lu Zishan smiled. “I hope you can be a part of it at that time. It’ll be Di Yi and Xiao Xin’s turn soon. Good news is really endless.”
“It’s rare to see Wen City so lively,” Di Hong said with a smile.
Lu Zishan smiled and nodded. “Cheers.”
“Cheers.” Everyone at the table stood up.
The Mo Family members were seated at the table as well. Mo Yuanxiu raised his glass and even clinked it against Lu Manman’s on purpose.
Lu Manman’s eyes flickered.
Wen Yun seemed to notice this and turned to look at Mo Yuanxiu.
Mo Yuanxiu looked up and smiled calmly.
Wen Yun’s expression changed slightly, but he did not show much emotion.
Wen Yun’s tolerance was not something that an ordinary person could achieve, so this little episode did not cause much of a stir.
After the toast, Lu Manman’s family sat down at the two huge dining tables.
Lu Manman naturally sat with Wen Yun.
Mo Yuanxiu sat beside Wen Yun, along with the rest of the Mo Family. Gu Xin sat beside Lu Manman, and next to her were Di Yi, Di An, and the rest of the Di Family, including Jiang Yiyao.
Everyone ate quietly.
This was how upper-class banquets were like, with the guests behaving in a reserved manner. Countless delicacies filled the dining table, but only a few people picked up their chopsticks. The entire dining table appeared to be very clean.
“I heard that Young Master Wen and Miss Lu are getting married,” Mo Yuanxiu suddenly said.
The quiet banquet seemed to have some noise.
“It’s on the twenty-eighth of this month. Thank you for your concern, Young Master Mo,” Wen Yun answered generously.
“Then, I wish you both a happy marriage in advance.” Mo Yuanxiu raised his glass.
Wen Yun despised drinking with Mo Yuanxiu, but he could not reject such an occasion as it would be rude. In the end, he picked up his glass and toasted Mo Yuanxiu.
Mo Yuanxiu turned to the side, leaving Wen Yun’s hand awkwardly swaying in the air.
How rude…
Wen Yun’s expression changed slightly again.
Mo Yuanxiu smiled. “I meant to toast the both of you. Miss Lu, aren’t you going to raise your glass?”
Lu Manman glared at Mo Yuanxiu.
Could this man just behave for a second?!
Today was a crucial day for her, and she did not want anything to disrupt her plans.
“What?” Mo Yuanxiu looked up. “Is Miss Lu not good with alcohol? It’s alright. You can have some tea and let Young Master Wen have a drink or two.”
