Chapter 116 Hongmen Banquet
Just like the ancient emperors, no one was allowed to challenge their authority.
In his eyes, Xue Dongli openly provoked him.
He will definitely get rid of it quickly, and it will be a matter of time sooner or later.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, he is a kind and generous old man.
But this kindness and generosity is based on the premise that others respect him.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lu Wei thought she didn't believe it, so she hurriedly said, "Miss Xue, Mr. Huang hired an Onmyoji this time. It is said that this Onmyoji has great powers, can manipulate monsters, and can kill people invisibly.
You must be careful.”
Xue Dongli said: "I understand, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Wei breathed a sigh of relief. The old lady Lu behind her asked quickly: "How is it?"
Lu Wei said: "Listen to her tone, we should be the one who has been in love this time."
Old Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "That's good. As the saying goes, sincerity comes, gold and stone are the only way to open up. As long as we think of more ways, we will definitely impress her."
But Lu Wei sighed in her heart, it was not that easy.
Trust such things will be difficult to make up for once they are broken.
The next day, the Sun family called her again to invite her to dinner and said that Sun Jiajun's mother was discharged from the hospital and wanted to make a table of food and thank her.
Xue Dongli agreed.
Sun Jiajun was so happy that he even went to the styling design company his mother often went to to make a look, put on a silver-gray suit, and looked elegant and handsome, and looked talented.
Just as he was happily fiddling with the bouquet in his hand, an uninvited guest arrived.
His mouth twitched twice and said, "Lu Xiao, why are you here?"
Lu Xiao sorted out his tie. He rarely wore formal clothes, but he also dressed up carefully today.
"It was Uncle Sun and Aunt who asked me to come." Lu Xiao said, "Don't forget that Miss Xue was invited by me, I am your savior."
Sun Jiajun was so angry that he gritted his teeth. This brat must be here to ruin his good deeds today!
Mrs. Sun looked at the two young men dressed like peacocks and was a little worried: "Husband, are our son okay? What kind of person is that Miss Xue?"
As a mother, she will be very harsh on the people she likes.
I heard that Miss Xue’s origin is unknown. Even if she is her son’s savior, she doesn’t want to marry into her family like this.
Mr. Sun whispered: "That Miss Xue is not simple. If she really can get along with our son, it would be a good thing. You can't be rude later."
Mrs. Sun nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm responsible."
The knock on the door sounded, and Mrs. Sun went up to open the door, and Sun Jiajun and Lu Xiao followed her excitedly.
When Mrs. Sun saw her son's appearance, she was full of doubts.
Is that Miss Xue really that beautiful?
When she opened the door and saw Xue Dongli standing outside the door, she was stunned.
She had heard of Xue Dongli's beauty from her husband and was mentally prepared, but she did not expect that she would be so beautiful.
That kind of beauty is not only about skin, but about bone and temperament.
This is what is called beauty in the bones but not in the skin.
Even she, a woman, was impressed by such beauty.
No wonder Jiajun likes her so much.
She immediately smiled and said, "It's Miss Xue, right? Hurry, please come in."
Xue Dongli nodded slightly and walked into the room. Sun Jiajun was holding a flower in his hand, but hesitated.
She was actually a little scared.
I was afraid that Xue Dongli would reject it.
Lu Xiao saw the opportunity, took the bouquet from him, walked up with a quick look, and showed the most handsome smile on his face: "Miss Xue, you are so beautiful today."
Xue Dongli nodded slightly at him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu, I'm sorry."
She took the bouquet and said to the maid standing beside her, "Please find a vase to put it in."
Lu Xiao's heart tightened. Xue Dongli was obviously refusing to do so in a tactful manner.
He felt a little cold in his heart.
Sun Jiajun breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he did not go to send flowers, otherwise he would have been rejected.
Mrs. Sun glanced at her son and couldn't help but shake her head.
All his thoughts were written on his face, and it seemed that he had completely fallen into it!
"Miss Xue, come, sit down." Mr. Sun greeted her, and Mrs. Sun brought out a sumptuous table of food from the kitchen.
Mrs. Sun's craftsmanship is very good. Although they are all home-cooked dishes, they are very exquisitely made, making people's index fingers very excited.
Everyone entered the table, and Mr. Sun picked up the wine glass and said gratefully: "Miss Xue, if it weren't for you this time, Jiajun would probably die in that haunted house. Our Sun family is the only one. I am here to serve Sun.
The ancestors and ancestors of the family respect you a cup and thank you for your life-saving grace.”
Xue Dongli said: "Mr. Sun, please be polite."
She drank the wine in the glass and suddenly said, "Mr. Sun, are there any other guests today?"
Mr. Sun was stunned for a moment and said, "We only invited Miss Xue today."
Sun Jiajun muttered in a low voice: "Even Lu Xiao comes uninvited."
Xue Dongli looked around and said, "Since that's the case, why are there more bowls and chopsticks on the table?"
Everyone was stunned and looked in the direction she pointed, and indeed saw a pair of bowls and chopsticks placed on the table in a seat where no one sat.
Mrs. Sun frowned and said, "Mom Li, why did you prepare an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks?"
Li's mother looked puzzled and said, "Strange, this pair of dishes was not something I put on, I'll take it away immediately."
"Wait." Sun Jiajun looked carefully and said, "This pair of bowls and chopsticks is not what we usually use, it seems..."
"What is it?" Lu Xiao asked.
"It seems to be used in the ancestral hall." Sun Jiajun said.
A chill broke out in everyone's heart.
The customs and habits in Tongguang City, the tableware used during sacrifices must be separated from those used by ordinary people.
Therefore, some special patterns will be made on the dishes and dishes of the sacrificial sacrificial sacrificial trays.
For example, for this pair of bowls and chopsticks, the ones made on the porcelain bowl are black and white.
Mrs. Sun said dissatisfiedly: "Mama Li, take it away quickly, it's so inauspicious!"
Ma Li agreed and quickly took away the bowls and chopsticks. Mr. Sun forced out a smile and said, "Miss Xue, it may be that the servant made a mistake. Don't take it to heart."
Xue Dongli smiled and said, "It's just a small matter."
Everyone continued to eat, but this incident hit everyone's hearts, and the atmosphere on the dining table also suppressed a lot.
After three rounds of wine, Sun Jiajun seemed to have suddenly discovered something and said in surprise: "Why are that pair of bowls and chopsticks being brought up again?"
Everyone looked at it and saw that the pair of bowls and chopsticks appeared again, and they were placed in the previous position.
Mrs. Sun was anxious: "Mom Li! What's wrong with you!"
Li's mother was confused and said, "Madam, I don't have one. I didn't even come to the dining table just now."
Chapter completed!
