Chapter 111 - Lu Yin Ze's evening
Lu Yin Ze adjusts his bow tie for the fifth time.
He was nervous, far from excited. He only meets a few people in his life. It was basically the doctor, nurses, guards, and recently his classmates.
But this time, he would meet the shareholders and the directors as well as their successors. He needs to give them a good impression.
Another thing that he worried about was his friends.
Would they come? Lu Yin Ze was worried that his friends would not be entertained if they come. So he gave specific instructions to the staff at the entrance. That once Song Xuantin and Xiong Zhi arrived they should lead them to where he was no matter when or where he was at that time.
Subconsciously, he was hoping and expecting his friends will come.
Lu Yin Ze was in a luxury room. It was not yet the time for the celebrant to come down. As the guest was still coming.
A knock interrupted his nervousness.
"Second young master, a guest name Song Xuantin is with me."
Lu Yin Ze's eyes lit up.
'They are here!'
Lu Yin Ze was so happy that he runs to the door and personally opened it.
Song Xuantin has her long hair curled. She was wearing a silver-white dress. It was a good dress that shows her good figure. Song Xuantin grows up attending parties with her parents. So her fashion sense was great as well.
Song Xuantin smiled happily and hug Lu Yin Ze.
"Happy birthday."
Lu Yin Ze shyly returned the hug. Then he noticed there's a guy behind Song Xuantin.
It was Gu Zhen. He was wearing a black coat and a white shirt. With his eyeglasses, he looked cool and rich.
Gu Zhen just nods at him and murmur to him a 'happy birthday'.
Lu Yin Ze just returned the nod and thank him for coming. Then he looked behind the two of them.
'Where's Xiong Zhi?'
His expectant look made the naughty Song Xuantin joked.
"Zhi is busy. She said she doesn't know if she'll come."
No matter how prepared Lu Yin Ze was, that his friends may not come, he can't help but feel sad and disappointed. But he did not let it show too much.
"It's alright. She's busy. I'll make sure she'll come next year." Lu Yin Ze said with a small smile.
Gu Zhen looked at Song Xuantin thinking what kind of naughty things she was playing at. He knew that Xiong Zhi would come with her grandfather.
But the naughty kid who had been with Lu Yin Ze all the time noticed that sad look in his eyes. Song Xuantin easily became guilty, she was about to take it back that Xiong Zhi would come later when a door opened and Old Lu with his butler came.
Old Lu was wearing ancient white clothing with an embroidered Lion and character Lu at his back. He looked very majestic.
And this majestic old man was stunned when he saw that they are people in the most private place in the Luxury hotel.
The two guests are both young, at the same age as his grandson. Old Lu guessed that it was his grandson's friends from school.
"Oh! You might be the lady that has the mouth of an old woman. " Old Lu said as she examined Song Xuantin. He nodded with approval as he saw that this little girl has a beautiful lively face. So even this girl's status was low, with this face, she can stand beside Lu Yin Ze as his friend.
Old Lu knew that Lu Yin Ze has two girl friends and recently acquired a boy friend. Old Lu already talked to Xiong Zhi on the phone earlier. Based on that tone of voice, Old Lu somehow guessed that Xiong Zhi was a calm, confident and smart girl. Unlike the girl in front of him, who was quirky and lively.
Song Xuantin who was being examined only focused on the word that 'has the mouth of an old woman'. She looked at Lu Yin Ze with blame. Her eyes were clearly saying, 'Is this how you talked about me?' But Song Xuantin was never angry.
Then Old Lu looked at Gu Zhen. Gu Zhen just looked at him without being intimidated. Then Gu Zhen bowed. A sign of respect.
Old Lu nodded.
"And this is?"
"My classmate and my groupmate, Gu Zhen." Lu Yin Ze answered. He talked also about Gu Zhen since sometimes Gu Zhen uninvitedly eat with them.
"Oh. I remember! This is the guy who looted the cheesecake I chose."
The two looked at Lu Yin Ze with blame.
'What kind of stories you are telling your grandfather about us?!'
Lu Yin Ze just coughed. He knew that his grandfather was only teasing them.
Old Lu saw their exchange and saw how uncomfortable his grandson is. He laughed. It seems like Lu Yin Ze has good friends that would not take advantage of him aside from the food he was bringing at lunch.
"Alright. I will just get this grandson of mine." Then Old Lu turned to Lu Yin Ze.
"Mrs. Tang is here. Come, great her first." Lu Yin Ze and two were stunned.
'Mrs. Tang? Is it the Old Mistress Tang of the legendary Tang family? The tigress?'
Lu Yin Ze could not help but wonder how a majestic figure equal to his grandfather would come to attend his birthday.
He first told his friends to be comfortable and the staff would lead them later to him once the event start.
Then he followed his grandfather out.

Xiong Zhi's ends the call with Old Master Lu.
When she went to the car she was stunned.
Linfeng was waiting for her and opened the car's door for her.
Then Old Xiong told Xiong Zhi that Linfeng would help him in this social gathering to expand her knowledge of people and her connections.
With this news, Xiong Zhi was happier.
Her eyes could not help but peek at Linfeng from time to time.
Xiong Zhi peeked once more to Linfeng's side profile while at the same time Linfeng glimpse at her. They were both stunned for a moment as they caught each other peeping. However, they quickly looked away at each other like they were scalded.
Xiong Zhi keeps looking because Linfeng was so handsome in his black suit. She always saw Linfeng in a black suit and he was always handsome. But this time, Linfeng exudes calmness and silent confidence that a woman finds attractive. In addition to that, he was young and he would have so much time to be a more outstanding man.
While Linfeng did not get enough look when Xiong Zhi got in the car earlier.
Xiong Zhi was born beautiful. However, with the ocean blue evening gown that shows off her white shoulder and collarbone made her more charming and seductive in a dignified manner. Her black hair that was usually flowing down was held up in a loose bun. Showing off her white nape. There is two curly hair on the sides of her face. Making her face smaller and sweet. However, her calm and unperturbed eyes show how matured her upbringing was. Her lips were painted cherry red, unlike her usual light one.
Linfeng could not help but look at her more than twice.
There was an awkward silence in the car.
The driver, Mr. Ji*, also has a serious expression. From his mirror, he could see clearly the secret glances of the two. He wanted to root for them but then he knew it was impossible.
The other was their Young Miss and while the other was a butler. However, they clearly had feelings for each other. It was a forbidden love story! Mr. Ji was escalated and then hopeless. As a witness, he was very troubled.
(A/n: *- don't forget our Mr. Ji our driver from chapter 17 ;) )
With this atmosphere, the car that was following behind the car of Mr. old Xiong, with five cars around them, proceeds their way to Luxury hotel.
*****
A Black Lamborghini parked far away from the Luxury hotel.
The driver of that car looked at the rearview mirror. He composed himself before he courageously said the truth.
"Young master, we cannot move on without an invitation."
They could not enter the parking lot without a pass. His master could not enter the hotel without an invitation. Even they use manpower they would not be able to win over those top guards and tight security.
It was the gathering of the mightiest, all of them no doubt, bring their own guards.
So, the reception, the Luxury hotel would prepare more manpower and firearms than them.
"Are you doubting me?" A deep and magnetic voice without any ripples sounded behind him.
The driver answered no and drive further to the parking lot. As he expected, several guards went to them to ask for their pass.
The window at the back seat came down. A hand like jade gives them a black membership card.
The guards were stunned. They knew what the black card means. It was from Lu's main family, the owner of the Luxury hotel.
They checked the card and the name they saw was 'Lu Jin', the first young master.
The guards now were on the tight spot. They were employed under the Luxury hotel, and to be direct, they're boss was the Lu family. However, the chief clearly told them that they need the invitation for everyone no matter who they are.
The guard awkwardly smiled.
"It is the first young master. Forgive us for stopping you. Just for the sake of protocol, can you please show to us the invitation card?"
The window was rolled down more and a handsome face with dark eyes stared at them expressionlessly.
"Is my surname not enough?" His deep and authoritative voice scared the guard. And when he took a glimpse of his face he was more frightened .
