Chapter 500 - 501: Arrogant Woman
Lou Xi and Qin Mobai returned to the banquet hall, and the birthday celebration part had just finished, with the dinner officially beginning.
Qin Mobai was about to take Lou Xi to sit by the dining table when a waiter stopped them, saying that Old Mrs. Lu asked them to sit at the main table.
The people sitting at the main table were all from the Lu Family. Although Qin Mobai had a brotherly relationship with Lu Li, sitting at the main table wasn’t exactly proper.
But as Qin Mobai glanced towards the main table, Old Mrs. Lu was looking at him and Lou Xi, and not going over would be disrespectful to the elder.
So, Qin Mobai took Lou Xi and headed towards the main table.
Lou Xi didn’t recognize many people at the main table, even though she had seen them before at the wedding. After all, it had been a long time.
Lou Xi saw Bai Lu and Lu Li sitting together; she had been wronged earlier because of Shen Ruozhuo’s incident, so Lou Xi needed to find time to apologize to her.
Upon changing seats, Lou Xi sat down beside Bai Lu.
After sitting down, Lou Xi held Bai Lu’s hand.
Bai Lu knew what Lou Xi wanted to say and signaled with her eyes that it was nothing.
That’s how good friends are, understanding each other’s thoughts with just a look or a gesture.
Lou Xi only felt that Old Mrs. Lu glanced at her several times. She recalled Old Mrs. Lu’s words during the birthday celebration earlier; she must have known Shen Youran.
However, her relationship with Shen Youran’s daughter was already confirmed, and saying more about it was meaningless.
Old Mrs. Lu went inside halfway through the dinner, claiming she was tired and asked the guests to entertain themselves.
Quite a willful old lady indeed.
Once today’s main character left, the atmosphere in the banquet hall became a bit more relaxed.
At the table, they were talking about business matters that Lou Xi and Bai Lu didn’t understand, so Lou Xi, turning her head, whispered to Bai Lu, "How are things going with you and Lu Li?"
Bai Lu glanced at Lu Li, then replied to Lou Xi, "His grandma doesn’t care about his affairs."
Lou Xi thought of what Qin Mobai told her earlier and had anticipated this situation.
"Then you two can probably start preparing for the wedding."
Bai Lu blushed slightly, "It’s still early!"
"The families have met, how is it early?" Lou Xi’s biggest wish is to see people around her happy; if Bai Lu finds her happiness, it would be like reaching the pinnacle of life for them both.
"Let’s talk about it later..."
For some reason, Lou Xi detected a hint of uncertainty in Bai Lu’s eyes.
Lou Xi wasn’t sure if Bai Lu’s uncertainty was her own or caused by Lu Li.
Lou Xi didn’t ask much; if Bai Lu wasn’t speaking now, she must have her reasons, and when she wanted someone to share it with, Lou Xi would surely be the first to help.
The dinner ended amidst laughter and chatter, and Qin Mobai took Lou Xi to leave.
Just as they left the banquet hall, Qin Mobai casually reached into his pocket.
"I seem to have left my phone inside, let me go back and find it." Qin Mobai couldn’t find his phone, "You wait here for me, I’ll be back soon."
"I’ll go with you!"
"No need, I’ll be back quickly." Qin Mobai didn’t want Lou Xi to walk more.
Lou Xi nodded, watching Qin Mobai’s figure as he left.
They were almost the last to leave, and it was quiet at the door, so she tightened the coat that Qin Mobai had draped over her shoulders.
Suddenly, someone bumped into her shoulder, causing Lou Xi to stagger and nearly fall.
Fortunately, she was wearing flat shoes and stood firm.
After stabilizing herself, Lou Xi turned to see a girl in a small dress, looking arrogant, with no trace of apology on her face.
