Chapter 18 Feast

The warm breath was in his ears, but Lu Yuxing's tone was very cold.

Tang Tang's body trembled slightly.

After a moment of confrontation, Lu Yuxing regretted it.He felt guilty towards Tang Tang, but after all, he couldn't face each other coldly.

"Forget it," he let go, raised his chin and took a sip of champagne, his Adam's apple moved slightly. "If you don't want to say it, don't say it."

"Tang Hongda is my uncle."

But Tang Tang interrupted him, and said as if showing loyalty, "My father is Tang Jialang, the chairman of Tang's Jewelry."

He looked up at Lu Yuxing with a calm expression, and he didn't feel offended. "I didn't want to tell you before, because I was afraid that you would ignore me." He lowered his eyes and fluttered his long eyelashes twice, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, Ah Xing."

He stretched out his hand to hold Lu Yuxing's arm, "It's okay to tell you now," he blinked, and said with a smile, "Because you are my boyfriend already, and you can't run away anymore."

"What boyfriend?"

The two were talking when they heard a deep male voice coming from behind Tang Tang.Lu Yuxing frowned slightly, and pulled Tang Tang closer to him.

The voice came from exactly the same person I heard on the phone that day.

Lu Yuxing blocked half of Tang Tang's body behind with his arms, and looked at the tall and handsome man in front of him.He shook his wine glass lightly, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Lu Yuxing, his face was as cold as an iceberg.

Recalling what he heard on the phone, Lu Yuxing could tell that Tang Tang was a little afraid of him.

The two looked at each other like this, quite like male wolves fighting for territory.

"Brother." Tang Tang also saw the person coming.He moved forward a little, stood between the two, pulled Lu Yuxing's wrist, and introduced to the man: "This is my friend, Lu Yuxing." After speaking, he turned around and explained to Lu Yuxing with a smile: "This is my brother."

"Hello." Lu Yuxing nodded.

"Well, my name is Tang Ruize." Tang Ruize raised his chin slightly, and had no intention of shaking hands.Although he is Tang Tang's elder brother, his facial features and temperament are completely different from Tang Tang's, and he is full of aggressiveness.

Tang Ruize.Lu Yuxing repeated the name back and forth silently several times, remembering who he was.

When Lu Yuxing endorsed Tang Jewelry, the name of "Chairman of Tang Jewelry" - Tang Ruize was very famous at that time.But in terms of time, he has not taken office yet.

However, the person who can sit in that position in the future must not be easy.

Lu Yuxing was still staring at him, only to see that the other person looked back and forth between himself and Tang Tang, and then asked as if no one else was there: "Tangtang, are you dissatisfied with the Ms. Li introduced to you by brother? I think it is better than your friend For you."

Tang Tang's eyes widened in an instant, and a pair of flat eyebrows turned into a character horoscope. "Brother, how can you say that..." He looked at Lu Yuxing with some embarrassment, "Miss Li and I don't know each other well, so she would feel bored if we came together."

Their voices were not too loud, but there were still a few guests looking over here.

Tang Tang stood between the two, but Tang Ruize's eyes kept falling on Lu Yuxing's face.

After a while, with a cold face, he snorted, turned and left.

"Forget it, whatever you want."

Tang Tang's face turned pale.

"Do you have a good relationship?" Lu Yuxing glanced at him and asked.

Tang Tang lowered his head and took a sip of champagne, coughing twice after being choked. "Nope." The smell of wine was a little warm, and his face began to soften, "I have a bad relationship with my father, and my brother has always been with me. He is not bad, but he just likes to discipline children."

Lu Yuxing glanced at Tang Ruize's back through the passing guests. "It's best just like that," he said softly.

The two didn't stay in the corner for long, and got up to congratulate Tang Hongda.

This is a middle-aged man with rich money and a cheerful personality.He has no children, and after three years of divorce from his previous wife, he found another true love, but because he was remarried, he did not hold a big wedding, but just celebrated with a private banquet.

Lu Yuxing stayed by Tang Tang's side to deal with it all the time, and waited for a long time, but he still didn't wait for Tang Jialang to appear.

Tang Tang, as the Tang family, was supposed to be the protagonist of the banquet, and with Lu Yuxing by his side, many people gathered here.Seeing that Lu Yuxing was handsome and good-looking, some young girls came to strike up a conversation in groups.

Compared to Lu Yuxing who treats others with sarcastic remarks, Tang Tang is sweet and talkative, and he chatted with those girls soon after.The girls pestered him to ask him interesting stories about studying in Europe. One of the girls knew him well and even called him Toffee.

Surrounded by all kinds of perfume smells and noisy laughter, Lu Yuxing was a little upset.This atmosphere reminded him of the past.

Those [-]th-line starlets who wanted to pick him up on the plane, flattered him in every possible way at various banquets, wishing to put all the chips on their chests on his arms.

"It's time to take a seat." He pulled Tang Tang out from among the girls, and walked towards the nearest table by the wrist.

"Let's play together next time." There was a young lady who was still reluctant to let go, trying to keep Tang Tang.Lu Yuxing didn't give her this chance, grabbed Tang Tang's shoulders, and took her away.

"Okay, okay!" Tang Tang turned around with difficulty and waved to her.

Lu Yuxing felt that he was in an extremely bad mood, so he pushed him down on the seat. "Have you talked enough?" He frowned, and sat down beside him sullenly.

The music around did not stop.Everyone took their seats to prepare for the banquet. Under the cheers and laughter, the atmosphere between the two became a little delicate.

Lu Yuxing's hand was strong, Tang Tang squeezed his aching shoulder with some grievances, and looked up at him.

"Ah Xing..." He leaned over and lowered his head slightly. "Are you jealous?"

"No." Lu Yuxing denied.He squeezed the towels folded into squares on the table, and after a while he said coldly, "Who was that girl in the red dress just now?"

Tang Tang froze for a moment, opened his big eyes and thought for a long time.

"It's a friend I met in elementary school, what's the matter?" He glanced at Lu Yuxing, and it took a long time before he realized it. "Oh, I know." He smiled coquettishly, "Is it because she called me Toffee?"

He bent slightly, looked up at Lu Yuxing.

Lu Yuxing couldn't avoid it, so he turned his face away.

"Isn't it?" Tang Tang pushed forward. "That's just a kid's joke."

At this moment, the seat next to Tang Tang was pulled away by a hand, and a hoarse and familiar voice sounded behind the two of them.

"Huh? Isn't this Xiao Lu?"

Like a flash of coldness in his heart, Lu Yuxing turned his face away in embarrassment.

I saw Wan Jie leaning on the back of the chair, standing beside Tang Tang. "What a coincidence," his turbid eyeballs rolled slightly, looking at Tang Tang beside Lu Yuxing, "the young master of the Tang family is also there."

"Uncle Wan." Tang Tang got up and helped him sit down with a smile on his face.

Lu Yuxing also got up and helped him adjust the seat.

"Okay, okay." Wan Jie sat down with his legs supported, and laughed jokingly, "Your Uncle Wan is not so old that you only have a handful of bones left, so you don't need to support him."

As soon as he sat down, he picked up his glass and began to drink.

Lu Yuxing sat back in his seat, frowning slightly. "Mr. Wan, it's better for you to drink as little as possible." He couldn't bear to think of the old man's legs hurting so much that he could only sit in a wheelchair more than ten years later.

Wan Jie shook his head, "This is not at the newspaper office, you can just call me Uncle Wan." He drank the wine in his glass and leaned back comfortably on the chair, "It's been a long time since I came here to join in the fun, thanks to Tang Jialang Remember me." He turned to Tang Tang and asked, "Where's your father?"

Tang Tang put his hands together and said with a smile, "He didn't come." He glanced at Tang Hongda who was toasting from a distance, "My father... doesn't like my uncle remarrying."

"He just has a weird temper." Wan Jie smiled and sighed, "Where is your grandfather, is he still in good health?"

Lu Yuxing glanced at Tang Tang meaningfully.

"Well, he's still living in Canada and has been reluctant to come back." Tang Tang replied with lowered eyes.

The two were chatting about their parents' affairs, while Lu Yuxing was listening from the sidelines, completely unable to get in the way.

He fiddled with the towels on the table casually, and glanced around.

They sat at the same table almost full, only a seat to the right of Lu Yuxing was vacant.This table was full of elderly people, probably because Lu Yuxing was rude and not friendly, so no one sat next to him.

Not far away, Tang Hongda toasted with his wife and went back and forth between the tables.

At this moment, the half-closed red-lacquered wooden door was pushed open.

A middle-aged man of average stature who is not outstanding opened the door and walked in.He looked unremarkable in his rumpled suit and gray hair combed carelessly.

The violin in the banquet hall was played beautifully, and everyone's eyes were focused on the host of the banquet.Except for the bored Lu Yuxing, no one noticed that it was the great director Chen Guzhou who came in.

However, Tang Tang, who was chatting with Wan Jie, happened to look up and saw him for some reason.

Like any acting student, even Tang Tang, who often hangs out with these celebrities, couldn't help exclaiming.

"Director Chen is here!" He exclaimed a little, and patted Lu Yuxing's arm happily. "Look, Ah Xing, is that Director Chen?"

Wan Jie also followed his line of sight when he heard the words.

Chen Guzhou also had some friendship with Tang Hongda, but he didn't like lively scenes, so he came late, trying to avoid complicated social interactions.

"You admire him a lot?" Wan Jie asked with a smile seeing Tang Tang's eyes full of joy.

"Students who study acting adore him," Tang Tang didn't hide it, pouted at Wan Jie and acted like a baby, "Uncle Wan, you and Director Chen know each other, right?"

His eyes were smiling, looking forward to it.

Wanjie has always liked such young people.He looked at Tang Tang, then laughed hoarsely. "Okay, okay," he patted Tang Tang on the shoulder, "I'll catch him for you!"

Lu Yuxing glanced at it calmly, saw Chen Guzhou greeting a few acquaintances, and walked inside.When he looked this way, Wan Jie raised his hand and waved at him.Chen Guzhou's eyes were not good, he squinted his eyes for a while, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Look," Wan Jie turned around and smiled triumphantly at Tang Tang, like an old urchin, "Uncle Wan will catch him here for you."

Lu Yuxing admired secretly in his heart, a little admired Tang Tang's ability to please the old man.

Tang Tang turned around and approached Lu Yuxing in a low voice. "Director Chen wants to sit here!" He couldn't help but shake Lu Yuxing's hand, "What should I do, I'm a little nervous."

"Do you want to change seats with me?" Lu Yuxing resisted seeing Chen Guzhou.

Tang Tang quickly waved his hand, "No, I'll be even more nervous." He sat up suddenly, began to rummage through his pockets, and muttered, "Well... I'll take the opportunity later and ask for an autograph."

He was rummaging around eagerly, and Chen Guzhou had already reached the table.

"Mr. Wan, how are you doing these days?" He greeted Wan Jie with a smile.

Tang Tang immediately stopped his movements and sat up straight.

"Very well." Wanjie replied. "There are two children here who want to see you, why don't you come and sit?"

"kid?"

Chen Guzhou glanced at Wanjie's side, suddenly froze, and asked in surprise, "Isn't this an intern reporter from your newspaper?"

Lu Yuxing didn't expect Chen Guzhou to see him first.He tidied up his suit jacket casually, stood up calmly and shook hands with Chen Guzhou.

"Hello, Director Chen, I'm Lu Yuxing."

When he spoke, he looked down at Tang Tang.
