Chu Yao's sudden closeness set Lin Wanyu's alarm bells ringing, but along the way, she was indeed talking to herself about her experience of hosting a birthday banquet, what she might encounter, and that as a businessman, there are some things that you should not touch, and some things that you should not touch. Taboos should also be avoided.
It can be said that he knows everything. Lin Wanyu did not expect that there are so many restrictions in the merchant's home.
For example, you should not wear pure purple or yellow, and other colors should not be too bright. Women should not wear pure red clothes in daily life except for weddings. The furnishings at home cannot exceed the rules. You cannot display dragon-shaped and phoenix-shaped ornaments. You cannot breed peonies. You cannot do this or that.
Lin Wanyu listened and took notes, and walked to the gate of Tomorrow Garden without knowing it.
"I've met the Sixth Young Master." Seeing Lu Mingyu standing at the door not knowing who he was waiting for, Chu Yao took the initiative to say hello.
"Hey, hello, sister-in-law." After Lu Mingyu said hello to Chu Yao, he walked straight to Lin Wanyu, put the cloak on her personally, and muttered: "I knew you were in a hurry to go out, so you didn't bring a cloak. Don’t freeze when it’s cold.”
It sounds like a husband is waiting for his affectionate wife.
Although Lin Wanyu was puzzled, because Chu Yao was there, she continued his play: "You know you brought me a cloak, why don't you wear more?"
Wow, my wife cares about me!
Lu Mingyu laughed, a bit silly: "Isn't this waiting for you? Is there anything important to you?"
Lin Wanyu gently placed her fist on his chest, which not only showed intimacy but also "warned" him not to be too sensual!
Chu Yao was behind, seeing this tender scene in her eyes and piercing her heart.
If Lu Shengming was half as kind to her as Lu Mingyu was to Lin Wanyu, she wouldn't be so miserable.
But today she came here just to see Lu Mingyu. For this reason, she did not hesitate to go out even though she was sick. The cold wind had just blown all the way, and now she felt itchy in her chest and wanted to cough, but she suppressed it.
Although she couldn't bear to disturb the couple, Chu Yao really had something to do, so she could only step forward and said to Lu Mingyu: "Xiao Liu, can I have a few words with you as your eldest sister-in-law?"
Lu Mingyu did not show any surprise. Instead, he seemed to know it in advance and agreed happily. He just held Lin Wanyu's hand and refused to let go.
"You too."
Lin Wanyu said to Lu Mingyu through lip language from an angle that Chu Yao couldn't see: Let go!
Lu Mingyu smiled and shook his head.
I really deserve a beating!
With no other choice, Lin Wanyu was dragged and forced to participate in the conversation between Chu Yao and Lu Mingyu.
There was a fire in the study and it was warm.
After Xiangxue made tea for the three of them, she respectfully left and closed the door.
"Xiao Liu seems to know that I will come?" Chu Yao did not hide it. Thinking of the way Lu Mingyu looked at her just now, she understood.
Lu Mingyu smiled and invited Chu Yao to drink tea: "Before my sister-in-law got married, I said that the Lu family is a pit of fire. Sooner or later, my sister-in-law will come to find me."
"Yes." Chu Yao nodded, took a sip of tea and continued: "So I want to ask Xiao Liu, Young Master Six, to help me."
"What can I help you with? You are my sister-in-law, and you also know the virtues of my elder brother. If I help you, he will kill me."
"No, you are his brother."
"Really? Do you think I'm a younger brother in his eyes?"
"..."
Chu Yao couldn't answer. Lu Shengming was an extremely chauvinistic person who couldn't bear to hear any harsh or disobedient words. He would abuse someone at the slightest level and get violent at the worst.
Living under his nose for two or three months seemed like two or three years.
"But if I continue like this, I will die." Chu Yao said softly. She didn't think she was wrong, but she felt that she was right. Anyone who lives with Lu Shengming will not end well.
Lu Mingyu was not surprised that Chu Yao had this idea, but was indifferent.
Lin Wanyu held the tea cup, watching the two people's reactions, and acted as a background wall obediently.
"Sixth Young Master, my mother came here a while ago. She didn't help me and didn't believe what I said. I came to you because I had no other choice. I..." Chu Yao said it hard. She didn't know why her mother would Leave her alone.
"I just want to be freed. As long as you help me, I can do anything you ask me to do!"
Chu Yao looked at Lu Mingyu pleadingly, as if she would kneel down the next second if he said so.
"You can do anything?" Lu Mingyu raised his eyebrows. As expected of him, Lu Shengming, he had driven someone crazy in such a short period of time.
Sure enough, he became the eldest son of the richest man. He was so proud that he didn't even bother to pretend.
Chu Yao nodded crazily: "As long as you can help me."
Chu Yao was like a drowning person at this time. Lu Mingyu was her only driftwood, and she had to hold on tightly.
Lu Mingyu thought for a long time, and Chu Yao became discouraged and thought she was going to be rejected.
"Okay!" Lu Mingyu stretched out a finger, "As long as you do one thing for me, just one thing."
"Okay, I agree!" Chu Yao's eyes burst with hope and she agreed without hesitation.
Lin Wanyu choked and saw Lu Mingyu's expression, just like a hunter seeing his prey. She pretended to cough and secretly tugged on Chu Yao's clothes: "Are you sure? You don't even know what he wants you to do. What if? What about something too extreme?"
Chu Yao shook her head repeatedly and said with a cry: "No matter how much you go too far, it's worth it. Miss Lin, you can't even imagine how I've been here these days."
Lin Wanyu really couldn't imagine it, but she could empathize with it. If something was serious enough to be willing to exchange everything for it, then it must be extremely bad!
Seeing that Chu Yao couldn't suppress her emotions, Lin Wanyu could only provide silent support.
When Chu Yao had cried enough, she wiped her tears and said to Lu Mingyu: "Tell me, since the Sixth Young Master knows that I will come, I must have thought of everything you want me to do, right?"
"Yes, what I want you to do is..."
Next, Lin Wanyu sat aside, and for the first time as a participant, she heard Lu Mingyu reveal his cunning and cunning in such a formal way.
Half an hour later, Lu Mingyu and Lin Wanyu sent Chu Yao away together.
Before leaving, Chu Yao took Lin Wanyu's hand and said, "If you have any questions or help at the birthday party, please come to me and I will do my best to help."
"Okay, thank you." Lin Wanyu responded with a kind smile.
Watching Chu Yao leave, Lin Wanyu turned back and stared at Lu Mingyu, her eyes seemed to be examining a stranger.
"What are you doing?" Lu Mingyu felt uncomfortable being stared at. "Do you think I'm particularly smart and handsome?"
"Hey~" Lin Wanyu rolled her eyes and walked to the west courtyard.
Lu Mingyu was unconvinced and followed Lin Wanyu, saying coquettishly: "Really? Do you think so? Where can you find a man like me who is both civil and military, intelligent, handsome, and rich? Are you sure? think about it?"
Lin Wanyu laughed angrily and added: "Yes, very shameless!"
"Hey, what's wrong with your shamelessness? How can a person walk around in the world without getting stabbed? If I didn't practice the golden bell and iron cloth shirt, how could I have achieved what I have today?"
Lu Mingyu muttered in Lin Wanyu's ear, either praising himself or listing the benefits of following him.
"Look at you now, even if you get the letter of release, you can't go out and start your own business. Why? Because you have no money! But what do you know? What do you do to make money? Why not cooperate with me, I can give you a lot Money, however!
Even if you go out and start your own business, do you know how dangerous it is for a woman to be alone? If you have money, you are easily targeted by thieves, and if you have no money, you are easily targeted by bad men. If you have no martial arts skills and no secret guards, how can you protect yourself?
Why don't you just follow me, and I will marry you as your official wife? From now on, you will be my legal wife, Lu Mingyu! Not better than some concubine from Laoshizi? I'll give you whatever you want! "
Lu Mingyu had wanted to say this for a long time, and he finally took the opportunity today to tell Lin Wanyu.
"Give me whatever I want?" Lin Wanyu couldn't stand it any longer, so she stood still and turned around to look at him, her eyes full of anger.
Lu Mingyu nodded with gleaming eyes.
"Then I want you to go away and don't follow me!"
After saying that, Lin Wanyu made a face and ran away, leaving Lu Mingyu laughing like crazy.
It turns out that teasing her is such a fun thing.
Seeing her dancing, he felt as if fireworks were set off!
Lin Wanyu is a smart person, and he knows that she will definitely figure it out.
Lu Mingyu followed her from a distance and watched her enter the house before reluctantly leaving.
Maybe he was right, but he ignored the change in Lin Wanyu's mood.
In the past, she relied on her father and family, but now she relies on the Lu family's care. After all, you are not relying on yourself.
Lin Wanyu wanted to rely on herself and not place her future hopes on anyone.
Especially men.
Maybe Lu Mingyu's suggestion was a good idea, but she didn't want to do it at the moment. She wanted to try other possibilities.
In this case, starting from Lin Jinlan's birthday party, we will break through the difficulties blocking the way one by one.
The birthday party was scheduled three days before New Year's Eve, which was said to be a good ending to this wonderful year.
"Huh? Isn't this her official day?"
Lin Wanyu came to Chaolu Garden and asked Chu Yao for advice on drafting the guest list. After all, she had no idea about the Lu family’s social network and needed Chu Yao’s help.
During this period, I accidentally learned that this so-called birthday banquet was not really a birthday banquet.
Chu Yao didn't know the reason for this: "I asked Aunt Lin that my wife's birthday is in the middle of the year, not the end of the year. As for why she has to hold a birthday banquet at the end of the year... I don't know, but since she wants to do it, Just do it.”
Lin Wanyu felt that this was strange, but after all, it was not the key to this birthday party, so she put it aside for the time being.
The two of them thought about it together for three days. They found the guest list from previous years as a reference. They also consulted Xue Nan, who came to check and accept the results of the storybook, and finally drew up a guest list that was both humane and sophisticated.
Although it was hard work, Lin Wanyu was very happy to be able to push Xue Nan towards Bai Lu with a perfect excuse and not torment her!
But when facing Lin Jinlan, she could always pick out a few questions and throw the list at Lin Wanyu, with a sharp tone and a mean look: "I'm not satisfied, redo it."
? ?
It's been less than a month since the birthday party, and now that it's stuck on the guest list, I simply don't want her to finish it successfully.
Lin Jinlan looked at Lin Wanyu, who looked unconvinced and stood there motionless, rolled her eyes and said, "That's all, for the sake of your hard work, I will be merciful and teach you today, and you can stay for dinner later."
If Chu Yao could find an excuse to shirk the invitation from the mistress, but Lin Wanyu's identity, she could only hold her breath and accept.
But just in case, Lin Wanyu quietly asked Xiangxue to go back and inform Lu Mingyu.
Unexpectedly, Lu Mingyu was not at home today. Xiangxue was so anxious that she went to find Bai Lu, and Bai Lu went to find Shi Shan.
Shishan shook his head stupidly: "The young master has gone out of the city. I don't know when he will come back."
It’s over!
