Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Lu Ting’s Show of Grandeur is Too Much
Editor: Inschain
They never expected that the Li couple would bring their youngest daughter over!
Just to attend a coming-of-age celebration?
It’s making a mountain out of a molehill!
Although Su Mian was an elementary school classmate of Mrs. Li, they were hardly close.
This time, it was only because Mrs. Li had suddenly offered to help her pick up Qiao Yun that she felt obliged to send them an invitation, never really expecting that they would come.
This was the Li Family, a super-wealthy family that had considerable clout in Shangjing City.
Though the Lu Family was wealthy too, they were nothing compared to the Lis.
Mrs. Li, in a red evening gown, was dignified and elegant as she warmly hugged Su Mian and said with a noble smile, “It’s been so long.”
Su Mian quickly regained her composure and smiled, “Yes, it must be almost twenty years now.”
“I can’t believe it’s been that long.” Mrs. Li chuckled and pulled Li Miao forward, “This is my youngest daughter, Li Miao. Go on, greet them.”
“Auntie.” Li Miao, with her pretty little face, asked sweetly, “Can I go find Qiao Yun?”
After all, they were somewhat friends.
Su Mian’s voice was gentle, “Of course, she’s upstairs.”
“Okay, goodbye Auntie, goodbye Uncle,” Li Miao waved her hand and bounced inside.
Mrs. Li’s face was covered in frowns, “This child has no sense of manners.”
“No problem, she’s quite cute.” Su Mian felt a bit uneasy inside; after all, there was a gap in their social standing.
After exchanging pleasantries with the Li couple, the Lu couple immediately arranged for Lu Jingzhi to entertain them.
The arrival of the Li couple set the whole banquet abuzz, as if they were walking contracts, yet nobody dared to approach and disturb them, secretly admiring the Lu couple.
Just when they thought the arrival of the Li couple was shocking enough, another guest dropped their jaws in disbelief!
When Pei Yao stepped out of the car, the Lu couple was utterly dumbfounded.
Of course, they knew this important figure, but why would he come?
Mr. Lu recalled that he recently collaborated with a company under the Shengqiao Group, so he had sent an invitation to that project manager.
Why would such a distant relation bring Mr. Pei here?
The Shengqiao Group, next to the Li Group, was formidable, but what was awe-inspiring was that it had developed in recent years and was now neck and neck with the Li Group within just a few years.
Moreover, their scientific research and technology were highly advanced, having developed countless revolutionary inventions; globally, there was no company that did not use Shengqiao Group’s technology.
Pei Yao was so young, only in his late twenties, and had quickly become a legend in Shangjing City.
Mr. Lu greatly admired the young man but also held a sense of wariness towards him, given their different social classes.
Furthermore, it was said that the powerful figure behind Pei Yao was the truly fearsome one, the kind who could crush a man with a foot—all of the technology was his creation.
Mr. Lu thought to himself that dealing with Pei Yao was manageable, but if that major figure came, he might be so nervous that he’d have a heart attack.
At this thought, he fell into deep puzzlement. Did they really have such great influence?
Could Tingting’s coming-of-age celebration really have drawn Shangjing’s two legendary families?
“Tingting! It’s actually Pei Yao! Ahh, he’s so handsome! I’ve only seen him on TV, this is the first time I’ve seen him in person. You have such influence, Tingting! It’s shocking enough that the Li Family would come to celebrate your birthday, but I can’t believe Pei Yao is here too!”
Lu Xue, a distant relative of the Lu Family as well as one of Lu Ting’s close friends, felt an inexplicable sense of pride and joy upon seeing the Lis and Pei Yao.
As her close friend, the scale of the event was significant. Who else in the entire country could get the heads of two major conglomerates to attend a mere coming-of-age celebration?
This grand celebration was something Lu Ting could boast about for a lifetime.
