Chapter 102: What Was This Girl’s Background

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Night had fallen. It was spring but there was still a chill in the air.
The Mo’s residence was at the center of Imperial Capital. It had a large floor area and looked like a small castle from afar.
Mo Chen leaned against the railing on the second floor and looked at the guests who were gradually filling up the first floor. He deliberately wore his army cap sideways and looked totally like a military sergeant. Mrs. Mo was irritated and gave him a slap.
“Wear your cap properly!”
Mo Chen was a bit helpless. “I say, Empress, it’s rare for me to have a holiday. You refuse to let me take a break and insisted on doing this blind date gathering. Are you that desperate for me to get married?”
“Pooh!” Mrs. Mo spit at him. “If there’s really a girl who’s interested in you, I’ll even be willing to marry you off. I don’t want to say this but you’re in your twenties already and you haven’t had a serious girlfriend yet. The only thing you can bluff people with is your title as a major. Perform well tonight, and try hard to trick a girl into marrying you!”
“…” This was his real mother.
“I’m afraid that even though you might have gone to a great extent for this, the drinker’s heart is not in the cup.”
“What do you mean?”
“Everyone knows that Brother Zhanbei and I are on good terms. He will definitely be here tonight. I dare say that 99 percent of the ladies are here for him.”
Mrs. Mo was speechless. She could only give him a slap out of regret that he did not live up to her expectations. “It’s all your fault that you’re so disappointing!”
Mo Chen was right. It was not only the rich young girls and celebrities but also the famous from the political and business circles that were mainly here for Lu Zhanbei.
His whereabouts were quite mysterious, and it was not easy to meet him.
Now that they had finally caught this opportunity, everyone started to whisper excitedly.
“Mr. Lu will definitely be here tonight. We must seize the opportunity later. As long as we serve this big shot well, our lives in the business circle will be much smoother.”
“Yes, I hope we will be lucky today!”
“Mr. Lu is here!”
The spirited voice could be heard from the main hall. Everyone was stunned for a second before putting on warm and flattering smiles of their own accord. All of them looked towards the door.
Lu Zhanbei slowly appeared. The tailored black suit concealed his good figure, which was better than those of a top male model.
The black strands of his hair were all combed to the back of his head, revealing a smooth forehead. His handsome face was calm and, with a light sweep of his eyes, it was obvious he was beyond reach.
Lu Zhanbei was a natural illuminator. As long as he was around, nobody could ignore him. It was the same this time too.
However, as everyone looked at him, they also noticed the girl who was holding his arm.
Mr. Lu actually brought along a female companion today?
Everyone was shocked and silently sized Lin Wanwan up. They had a short spasm.
Standing next to Lu Zhanbei, she actually did not pale in comparison.
The girl’s red dress exuded innocence and beauty. She had both a mature woman’s charming style and a young girl’s ethereal spirit. People could not help but to be disrespectful and yet afraid of destroying this beauty.
When she smiled, she was even more beautiful.
“What’s this girl’s background? Why haven’t I seen her before?”
“She’s not bad-looking, a pity that…”
A pity that she belonged to Mr. Lu. Even if they eyed her, they dared not harbor any thoughts about her.
Compared to the men’s shock, the rich young girls were full of envy, jealousy, and hatred. How they wished that they were the ones who were in close contact with Lu Zhanbei.
“Brother Zhanbei, welcome!”
Mo Chen bounced out from nowhere. He glanced at Lu Zhanbei and then focused all his attention on Lin Wanwan.
“Pretty Miss, do you still remember me? Haven’t seen you for a while, and you’ve grown prettier.”
