204: Chapter 205: Sending a Gift!

“Isn’t this the one coming to disgrace our Lu Family?” Lu Chen said.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Xingyue’s face turned ugly.

Lu Chen’s targeting her was not a matter of one day or two, and while it was bearable under normal circumstances, it was unacceptable at this time.

She knew it must be because Lu Chen thought Tang Zhong was her boyfriend, which is why he spoke like that.

But Tang Zhong was not her boyfriend.

She indeed wished to be Tang Zhong’s girlfriend, but the key was whether Tang Zhong needed her as a girlfriend or not.

No, she absolutely couldn’t let Tang Zhong be misunderstood.

Lu Xingyue looked at Tang Zhong, her face full of apology, then turned to Lu Chen and said, “Uncle, he’s my senior, invited by me.

What are you all thinking?”

By saying this, she aimed to lessen the burden on Tang Zhong.

As long as she claimed there was no relationship between her and her senior, things should be easier.

Sure enough, Lu Chen looked at Tang Zhong, his expression suddenly filled with surprise.

If he wasn’t the boyfriend, even if Lu Chen wanted to target Lu Xingyue, he couldn’t use this person.

But he still wasn’t willing to give up, so he said,

“So that’s how it is.

Let me tell you, Xingyue, if a man wants to marry you, but his status isn’t sufficient, or he has no money, just like the one beside you, you should not bring him back to our Lu Family anymore.

It will disrupt our family’s Feng Shui!”

Lu Xingyue was extremely angry, “Lu Chen, what are you talking about?

Today is Grandpa’s birthday.

Do you really have to act like this?”

“What am I doing?

I’m just emphasizing our Lu Family’s way of entertaining guests!” Lu Chen said with a smile.

He couldn’t believe he wouldn’t be able to target a pesky girl.

“Enough, all of you!” Suddenly, Lu Haiyang shouted.

Being an elder in the Lu Family, once he spoke, no one else said anything.

“Lu Chen, as an elder, how can you speak to the younger ones like that?” Lu Haiyang said coldly.

“Dad…

I am educating Xingyue, she can’t just bring anyone home, it brings bad luck!” Lu Chen said.

“Shut up!” Lu Haiyang became angry.

Lu Chen instantly shut his mouth.

All Lu Haiyang did was look at Tang Zhong and smiled kindly, “Young man, I’m sorry for what you’ve seen.

Since you’re Xingyue’s friend, you are our guest.

There’s food and drink over there; help yourself!”

At this moment, Tang Zhong listened to their conversation peacefully, knowing that Lu Chen must often target Lu Xingyue.

After hearing Lu Haiyang’s words, he smiled and said, “Thank you, Grandpa Lu!”

The reason he called him ‘Grandpa’ was because Tang Zhong sensed the kindness in the other person’s words.

However, Tang Zhong was not someone who could be insulted casually.

What bad luck?

What’s that supposed to mean?

Lu Xingyue also looked at Tang Zhong and said, “Senior, come with me, I’ll take you for some food.

As for what just happened, just forget it!”

“No…

why should I forget it?” Tang Zhong said with a mysterious smile and walked up beside Lu Chen.

Lu Chen, seeing Tang Zhong’s gaze and that half-smiling expression, trembled all over, feeling as if he was being stared at by the God of Slaughter, “What…

what do you want?”

“I don’t want to do anything.

I just want to tell you, yes, I am Lu Xingyue’s boyfriend!” Tang Zhong said with a smile.

While everyone was busy enjoying the festivities, as soon as Tang Zhong’s words were uttered, all eyes turned to him, especially shocked by what he claimed.

What, Lu Xingyue’s boyfriend?

Everyone knew of Lu Xingyue, the Lu Family’s beloved princess, adored by Lu Haiyang!

Many people predicted that the Lu Family might one day be inherited by Lu Xingyue.

Just think about the power of the Jianghai Lu Family; it’s no small matter.

Lu Xingyue was stunned.

She didn’t expect Tang Zhong to say such a thing.

After seeing the look in Tang Zhong’s eyes, she understood that he was standing up for her.

It seemed that he had noticed she was being targeted.

At this moment, she felt a deep sense of gratitude towards Tang Zhong, but for some reason, when Tang Zhong referred to himself as her boyfriend, Lu Xingyue’s heart fluttered.

Lu Chen laughed, thinking that now that this person was Lu Xingyue’s boyfriend, it would be easier to deal with her.

Bringing home such a boyfriend deserved a severe blow.

Among the crowd, the rich second generation Xu Hui, on hearing this, nearly exploded with anger, “That’s disgusting!

That good-for-nothing Lu Xingyue found such a beggar to be her boyfriend?

Is she blind?”

Others, who originally had a good impression of Lu Xingyue, were now in an uproar.

This was the reaction from everyone.

At this moment, even Lu Haiyang was taken aback, Xingyue’s boyfriend?

However, he quickly smiled.

At that moment, in the eyes of everyone, Tang Zhong casually held Lu Xingyue’s hand, seemingly unaffected by the ongoings, and walked forward.

“Come on, let’s go check that out!” Tang Zhong said with a smile.

Lu Xingyue was dumbfounded; she had never expected to be led by the hand by her senior.

She couldn’t care less about anything and just allowed Tang Zhong to lead her forward.

In a flash, all eyes were drawn to them.

Lu Xingyue actually acknowledged him.

Could that guy really be Lu Xingyue’s boyfriend?

“Damn, isn’t this a flower stuck in cow dung?”

“Yeah, how could this happen?”

Lu Chen watched as Lu Xingyue and Tang Zhong left, his eyes filling with an even more intense meaning.

By his side, someone approached him and asked, “Big brother, what should we do?”

“Of course, we need to target that guy.

With dad here, we can only target Lu Xingyue subtly, but as for her boyfriend, we can confront him outright.

Look at the guy’s attire; he’s definitely poor.

Later on, humiliate him thoroughly, make him back off!” Lu Chen said.

“Got it, big brother!” said the person beside him.

And then, Lu Chen watched the retreating figures of Tang Zhong and Lu Xingyue, sneering to himself, “You’re in for it now!”

At this moment, Tang Zhong had already grabbed some food with Lu Xingyue, and they found a seat by the window.

Lu Xingyue had no appetite whatsoever.

Watching Tang Zhong wolf down his food, she said, “Senior, you should leave.

Lu Chen will definitely make things difficult for you soon!”

“No worries!” Tang Zhong said.

“How can there not be any worries?

Senior, you should never have said you were my boyfriend.

That’s going to bring you lots of trouble, do you understand?

Lu Chen would love nothing more than to see me thrown out of the Lu Family!” Lu Xingyue said anxiously.

“Of course, I know!” Tang Zhong replied with a smile.

“Ah!

Knowing that, you still dared to say such a thing,” Lu Xingyue said.

“So, what if I did?” Tang Zhong replied with a smile.

“Lu Chen wants to get his hands on the Lu Family’s fortune.

Since I lost my parents at a young age, my grandfather has been set on making me the heir to the Lu Family, so Lu Chen and his people see me as a thorn in their side.

They’re desperate to get me out of the Lu Family!” Lu Xingyue explained.

Hearing this, Tang Zhong looked at Lu Xingyue and felt an indescribable emotion, “Don’t worry, everything will be fine!”

Lu Xingyue fell silent.

Meanwhile, at the center of the banquet, a host in a black suit appeared.

For the Lu Family, a big clan, a birthday was certainly a serious affair.

This host in the black suit was also a celebrity.

At the moment, he was animatedly praising Lu Haiyang’s achievements, and the crowd listening responded with robust applause.

Then it was time for the gift-giving ceremony.

Seeing this, Lu Xingyue said to Tang Zhong, “Senior, let’s go take a look too.

But wait, you didn’t bring a gift.

It’s my fault for telling you too late; you didn’t have time to prepare.

Never mind, my grandfather isn’t someone who fusses over such things!”

“Okay!” Tang Zhong, having finished his last bite, went over as well.

However, he already knew what gift to bring.

One after another, people carried their gifts to Lu Haiyang, offered their congratulations, and then handed over their gifts.

Lu Haiyang was overjoyed.

Today was his grand birthday celebration, so he was very happy.

At this point, one after another, gifts were brought over, and next to Lu Haiyang, the pile of presents grew considerably.

Most were expensive watches, as well as valuable jadeite and Blood Jade!

There were all sorts of gifts.

Lu Chen presented a jade horse that astonished everyone present.

All eyes were on the jade horse, spirited and unbridled.

“I wish for Father to be as robust as this jade horse!”

Lu Haiyang broke into a smile.

The surrounding audience burst into applause, “Lu Chen truly has a great filial piety!”

“Wait, I’ve seen this jade horse somewhere!”

“Yes, I’ve seen it too!”

More and more people recognized it.

“Isn’t this the statue of Guan Yu’s Red Hare horse?

Carved during the Tang Dynasty, it took seventy-seven jade craftsmen and over a month to complete.

Oh my, this is a cultural relic!”

“Yes, I heard there’s only one of these in the whole world!”

“Awesome, we’ve really opened our eyes this time!”

Lu Chen smiled confidently and stood aside, satisfied with the scene.

Tang Zhong, however, shook his head as he looked at the jade horse.

Most of the guests had brought gifts, which they had all presented in turn.

Finally.

Lu Xingyue had also prepared a gift, a crystal necklace she had made by hand, spending a long time on it.

“I wish Grandfather a long life of a hundred years!” Lu Xingyue knelt to the ground.

“Get up quickly!” Lu Haiyang said with a smile.

Almost everyone had given a gift.

Of course, gift-giving was only the first part of the celebration.

The male host, seeing that no one else was coming forward with a gift, was about to move on to the next segment.

“Hold on…” suddenly, Lu Chen spoke up.

The others were stunned, unsure why Lu Chen would suddenly say such a thing.

Everyone saw Lu Chen step forward, looking toward Tang Zhong in the distance, smiling as he said, “I wonder, my niece’s boyfriend, what kind of gift have you brought for my father?”
