Lu Wanggui told Xiang Xiaoyuan about the charity banquet. Basically, the Zhong family was auctioning their valuable items, such as jewelry, antiques, calligraphy, and paintings. They would then donate the money to people in need.

“Then what’s your plan? How many items are you going to bid for?” Xiang Xiaoyuan asked.

Lu Wanggui shook his head. “There’s no plan. Just like I told you before, our company has no business dealings with Shengkong Group. We just came to give them some support.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan understood. So it’s really just up to her. If she liked it, she would bid on it. If she didn’t like it, she wouldn’t bid on it.

The three of them arrived at the venue. The banquet was held in a luxurious manor. Xiang Xiaoyuan was wearing a gown with some diamond jewelry. She did not look too extravagant.

After getting out of the car, she decisively took Lu Wanggui’s arm. She looked left and right and felt that she was the brightest star of the night. It was not because of her beautiful gown, but the two men standing beside her. They made the people around them look better.

Lu Wanggui and Lu Bei’s appearance were very eye-catching. The appearance of the three attracted a lot of attention. After all, this was the first time Lu Wanggui brought his new wife and son to such an occasion.

Xiang Xiaoyuan did not expect to meet someone she was not too close with here, An Yu.

An Yu was even more surprised than Xiang Xiaoyuan. She never thought that Lu Bei would come!

Lu Wanggui and An Yu’s father, An Huasheng, were considered good friends. Naturally, they greeted each other when they met. Xiang Xiaoyuan smiled and held Lu Wanggui’s hand as they walked over. Lu Bei also stood beside Xiang Xiaoyuan. Xiang Xiaoyuan noticed An Yu’s extremely surprised expression.

After exchanging pleasantries, An Huasheng looked at Lu Bei. “Xiao Bei is here too? This is the first time, right?”

Lu Wanggui looked at Xiang Xiaoyuan and nodded. “Yes, Xiao Bei listens to her. If I had asked him to come, he probably would not have come.”

Lu Bei: “? ? ?”

He did not deny it.

Mrs. An chuckled and said, “It’s good. They should come out more as they get older. Some knowledge cannot be learned from books. Xiao Bei, you and An Yu are about the same age. Why don’t you sit together? You have more in common so it won’t be boring.”

An Yu looked at Lu Bei expectantly. She also felt that this kind of event was rather boring. However, if she could sit together with Lu Bei…

Lu Bei looked at Xiang Xiaoyuan instead. “Aren’t you feeling unwell? I’d better be with you.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan: “? ? ?”

Is he cursing me?

Lu Bei looked at Mrs. An again. Although he was cold and aloof, he was still very polite to his elders. “My dad asked me to help take care of her. I really can’t leave her side. I’m sorry.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan understood that Lu Bei was using her as an excuse. He just did not want to sit with An Yu, so he said that she was feeling unwell. Xiang Xiaoyuan did not expose him, not just because Lu Bei was in the same family as her, but also because she found An Yu’s reaction funny.

When Lu Bei said this, everyone who heard it was surprised that Lu Wanggui’s new wife was so capable. She was actually able to subdue both father and son. When Lu Bei spoke, there was not a hint of reluctance in his tone.

After a moment of surprise, Mrs. An smiled thoughtfully and said, “It’s okay. Xiao Bei has always been a filial and sensible child.”

Lu Wanggui saw everything, but he just smiled and did not say anything.

In order to make the scene more realistic, Xiang Xiaoyuan said to Lu Bei when she passed by An Yu, “Xiao Bei, I didn’t eat breakfast. My blood sugar is a little low. Go and get me a piece of cake. I don’t want chocolate.”

Lu Wanggui suppressed a smile in his eyes.

Lu Bei’s scalp tingled. Xiao Bei? When did she ever call him Xiao Bei? 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶

Even so, Lu Bei had to cooperate with her. He nodded and said, “Okay.” Then, he obediently walked towards the buffet.

Xiang Xiaoyuan glanced at An Yu and saw that the little girl was on the verge of collapsing. Her expression was so fragile that it seemed as if she would break from a slight touch. Xiang Xiaoyuan admitted that she was a little petty. She could feel An Yu’s hostility toward her. In her eyes, she was the evil stepmother who would harm Lu Bei.

Seeing that An Yu had been provoked, Xiang Xiaoyuan did not go too far.

Led by the staff, they entered the auction hall. A woman in a black suit walked toward them.

This was the most imposing woman that Xiang Xiaoyuan had ever seen. There was an air of intimidation around her. When she saw Lu Wanggui, a smile appeared on her cold face.. When she walked over, she noticed Xiang Xiaoyuan who was beside Lu Wanggui.
