Chapter 501 The Huo Family's Concubine Selection Banquet
"What's the matter, Dad? Can we talk about it tomorrow? I've been tired for a long day. I'm so sleepy. I want to sleep..."
Lu Baoqi didn't look back, yawned and said perfunctorily.
She was so badly hit today that she had no interest in hearing any good news.
The good news about Lu's father and Lu's mother is nothing more than buying her new clothes and bags, so what's the use? Most of the Lu family's shares were given to Lu Baoyu by that old immortal Mr. Lu.
Compared to the Lu family’s huge wealth, what does a brand-name bag mean?
Anyway, wouldn’t everything bought by Father Lu and Mother Lu belong to her sooner or later?
She has this time to listen to their nonsense, so she might as well go back to the room quickly and think about how to deal with Nuan Nuan!
Nuan Nuan actually got back together with her ex-boyfriend, which means that she must have been dumped by Mr. Huo Wu. Without Mr. Huo's support, dealing with Nuan Nuan would be as easy as squeezing an ant to death.
She must never let that dead girl act in front of her again!
Lu Baoqi turned around and left.
Mother Lu looked at her leaving figure, turned to Father Lu and said, "Forget it, Baoqi has had a day of classes and must be very tired. Let her rest. The Huo family... I'll get back to them tomorrow.
It’s the same thing.”
Father Lu frowned, "How can that be done? Who do you think it is from another family? That's the Huo family! What's more, this matter also involves that person... who dares to show off in front of that person? Since Bao
Qi is not interested, so I'd better call and ask Baoyu if he can go."
"But... isn't this bad?" Mother Lu's face froze and she hesitated.
This opportunity was so good, she didn't want Lu Baoqi to miss it, if the Huo family member took notice...
Although Lu Baoyu is also her daughter and the daughter of the Lu family, after all, Lu Baoyu was brought back from the countryside when she was a teenager. Secretly, Mother Lu still prefers Lu Baoqi who grew up beside her.
Of course she would give such a good opportunity to her favorite daughter.
"How about...should we wait a little longer? The Huo family only gave our family one spot. If Baoyu agrees to participate, wouldn't Baoqi have no chance?"
"What chance? Mom, what are you talking about? Why are you asking Lu Baoyu?"
Mother Lu was still thinking about how to persuade Father Lu, when suddenly she heard Lu Baoqi's voice.
Father Lu and Mother Lu turned their heads at the same time and saw Lu Baoqi walking back at some point.
Mother Lu's eyes lit up, "Baoqi, didn't you go to rest?"
Lu Baoqi smiled and said: "I thought about it, my parents called me over. They must have something important to say. No matter how tired I am, I can't let you wait for me all night in vain!"
There was a smile on her face, but she felt a little disdainful in her heart.
She will come back, of course, not because of the reasons she said, but because she heard the word Huo family and Lu Baoyu's name.
Father Lu and Mother Lu were looking for her, and they were actually related to the Huo family. They also said it was a good opportunity, and if she refused to go, Lu Baoyu would be asked to go!
How could she let Lu Baoyu get this opportunity?
Even if it's something she doesn't want, even if it's thrown away and burned, Lu Baoyu can't get it cheaper!
Thinking of this, Lu Baoqi immediately turned around and came back.
"Oh, my Baoqi is the most considerate and well-behaved." Mother Lu didn't know her adopted daughter's thoughts at all, but she made her smile with just a few words.
Father Lu also showed a happy smile, "You are really a good daughter of your father. Your parents have not loved you in vain. Sit down quickly, and my father will tell you in detail."
Lu Baoqi nodded, but did not sit on the sofa opposite. Instead, he sat down next to Mother Lu and hugged Mother Lu's arm affectionately.
The smile on Mother Lu's face immediately deepened, and her eyes towards Lu Baoqi became more loving.
Although Lu Baoqi was not born from her belly, she was a hundred times more considerate than her biological daughter!
When had Lu Baoyu held her arm and been so intimate with her? Every time he saw her as a mother, he always looked slightly distant and polite, but he actually felt that Lu Baoqi should be sent back to the countryside.
!
How could she give birth to a daughter who doesn't care about brotherhood at all?
Sure enough, he was raised crookedly in the countryside.
Thinking of Lu Baoyu, Lu's mother felt a little unhappy in her heart, and she was even more grateful that she had stopped Lu's father just now and did not take advantage of the good opportunity to take advantage of that wild girl.
Father Lu saw Lu Baoqi sitting down and said, "Baoqi, I just received an invitation from the Huo family. It said that the fifteenth of next month will be the twenty-fourth birthday of the current head of the Huo family. The invitation
Your mother and I will attend together with our daughter. When the time comes, you will come with us. You will order a dress tomorrow, and then ask your mother to pick out some precious jewelry for you. You must dominate the audience that day and attract Huo Huo.
Do you know the vision of the head of the family?"
Hearing this, Lu Baoqi was stunned.
She never expected that the good news that made Father Lu overjoyed just now actually referred to the birthday party of the head of the Huo family!
So what's there to be happy about?
Before she could react, Mother Lu said: "Looking at what you said, of course our daughter is the most beautiful, and she is also the top student at Beijing University. Isn't it right to win the attention of the whole audience? However, it is right to dress up well.
, Huo’s head’s status here must be very high, and although our daughter is good enough, it’s always good to be well prepared.”
Hearing what Lu's mother said, Lu Baoqi suddenly felt a bad premonition in her heart. She endured it again and again, but finally couldn't hold it in anymore and interrupted the two of them.
"Mom, Dad! What are you...what are you talking about? Why do I have to dress up to attend the birthday party of the head of the Huo family? I...I'm not going. This matter...this has nothing to do with me.
What's the matter?"
"Why is it none of your business?"
Mother Lu held her hand and explained with a smile on her face: "Although this is nominally the birthday party for the head of the Huo family, it has been several years since the head of the Huo family came to power. In the past, the whole birthday of the twenty-year-old was not big.
But this year it was so formal... All the big families in the circle have guessed the implication behind this, that is... it's time for the Huo family to get married!"
"That's right!" Father Lu said: "I heard your grandfather say before that the Huo family has family rules. The children of the family should get married when they are twenty-four years old. This year, the head of the Huo family happens to be twenty-four years old.
On his birthday, he never announced the news of his engagement. Therefore, everyone is spreading rumors that this birthday party is actually just a cover, and it is actually the concubine selection banquet for the Huo family!"
