Chapter 112 - Lu Yin Zes night (II)
Chapter 112 - Lu Yin Ze\'s night (II)
The Tang family was one of the legendary families in China. If there was a tiger Xiong, a Lion Lu and Wolf Guan, there is also a tigress Tang.
These four families are legendaries for some reason.
They were all long deep-rooted in the business industry for more than a century. It\'s unimaginable how much money they had.
However, unlike the three families that grow in the business industry, the Tang family originated from a Martial Arts Organization or the so-called Jianghu*.
(A/n: *- community for the martial artist in ancient times)
In the old times, the Tang family was known for their martial arts and manpower that every official wanted to be friendly with them. They have many connections. May it be political, industrial, or economical. People look for their protection.
At the end of 1800, the Tang family acc.u.mulated so much money that they put it to business to grow. They used their connections, and like a cheetah, their business prospers so fast and smooth. No enemy came to look for them. Since the Tang family composed of martial arts experts.
Since the family originated from martial arts, they required their descendants to study the manual.
They prosper for so long and dominated the country.
However, the heavens became fair.
In 1900, men descendants become rare from the Tang family. Like the Tang family was being cursed, generations after generations the Tang women gave birth only to women. There\'s no male descendant.
This was a huge matter to the Tang family. Men could only inherit the empire, men could only study the manual.
Because of this, the Tang family that single-handedly dominated the east side of the world declined.
Until the two generations above the current mistress, Tang realized that even they are women they need to uphold their surname, Tang.
Since they still have power, money, and authority. The women in the Tang family only accept a man to marry in the family. They study and teach their daughters the manual even it was difficult for women. They learned and teach them the business despite the discrimination in society. Luckily, they still held power in the industry.
Until the Tang family stands equal to the three families. Now, this empire that was run by women was not any less than the three empires.
The Tang empire was revered, especially when it has so much long and admirable history.
Lu Yin Ze was led to the elevator. He hadn\'t met anyone aside from his friends.
This would be the first guest that he would greet.
A ting sounded and the elevator opened.
An old woman with her back straight wearing a white qipao was revealed. She looked only in the fifties when in fact her age was in the seventies. She was healthy and dignified.
"Tang Ying. You haven\'t aged since the last time I saw you." Old Lu greeted them with a laugh.
"Hmph. That\'s what you always say every time we meet. Even in praises, you\'re so stingy." Old Mistress Tang said with her eyebrow raised. Then she looked at Lu Yin Ze. She was stunned a bit and went nearer to him.
Lu Yin Ze composed himself and bowed.
"How\'s your flight, madam?"
However, a gasped answers him. Lu Yin Ze could not help but lookup. Then a pair of strong hands cupped his face.
"Old Lu, you\'re grandson really looks a boy version of Priscilla! I thought he looked like Sasha at first. But the more I looked, the more I can see Precilia on him." Mistress Tang said unbelieving while she examined Lu Yin Ze\'s face left and right. Lu Yin Ze felt like crying. The grip of the old lady was too strong!
"Hey! Stop it! You\'re molesting my grandson!" Old Lu used his walking stick to block Mistress Tang\'s hands from touching Lu Yin Ze more.
Mistress Tang let go of him and harrumph to Old Lu.
"Now I know, why you favored your second grandson too much. Are you being unfair to your first grandson?"
"La. " A beautiful girl beside Mistress Tang stopped her from saying more. The girl\'s teen\'s eyes communicate to her grandma to stopped talking and pointed it simply to Old Lu and his grandson.
Old Lu was silent. He wanted to retort that he doesn\'t have a first grandson since he followed and chose his father instead of him. But Old Lu can\'t say that in front of Lu Yin Ze. He knew that Lu Yin Ze was so sensitive when it came to his brother and father. He doesn\'t want to ruin his birthday.
Mistress Tang was sensitive to this kind of thing as well. Especially they both came from big and wealthy families. They are bound to have inner struggles and problems inside their family.
To ease the atmosphere, Mistress Tang laughed.
"Looked at me. I\'m getting older. Meet my sensible and granddaughter, Tang Xinyang. "
The girl that Mistresss Tang came with bowed in a graceful manner. She has a small and seductive face. However, if you look closely at her brows, they exudes masculinity.
"It\'s a pleasure to meet you, Master Lu and second young master."
Old Lu examined Tang Xinyang. He felt that this girl was sensible and very dignified. He could somehow see Mistress Tang in the girl.
"Don\'t be fooled by her pretty face. My granddaughter is stronger than your grandson. Do you want to see how strong she is and let her duel your grandson? Oh. If your grandson doesn\'t like it, then the strongest bodyguard you have-"
"La." Tang Xinyang stopped her grandma from provoking all men in the room. She was wearing a very good dress today. If it got torn because of the fight, her little sister would surely be angry when she got wind of it. Then remembering her little sister, Tang Xinyang become sad.
"Aiyah. Stop jabbering. Let\'s go down so you can take a seat. " Old Lu and Lu Yin Ze lead them away.
The man in the elevator room who got ignored by the people followed them with a helpless smile.
He was a CEO too. But with the presence of those two humongous CEO, his presence was like an ant. He wasn\'t even given a chance to greet the celebrant. Maybe the people taught he was one of the guards that Mistress Tang came with.
Ahhh, what a sad life.
*******
People keep coming. There\'s no commotion and the atmosphere was so comfortable and peaceful since there was no media involved. It was really private. It makes the guests greet each other in their heart\'s content. There was slight mocking with their rivals but it was within control. They are wealthy people who regard etiquette and public opinion important.
Xiong Wuyue hasn\'t experienced this kind of party before. There are many people yet it was not crowded since the place was so big. It was actually spacious.
Not only that, but every people here are also the rare people that she and her father would take so much effort to meet. Now, they are everywhere.
"Father...how you manage to get invited?" Xiong Wuyue asked with daze while she looks around.
She was young. But she grew up in this industry. Even she denied the fact, she knew how impossible for them,? a second branch, to receive an invitation to this event.
"Your father has a lot of business and wide connections. This is the result." Xiong De said proudly as he looked around with his eyes flashing from time to time.
"Father is the best! Wuyue will learn a lot from you!" Xiong Wuyue said sweetly to her father. Since her father done a great job, she was not stingy to him to give him a praise.
"When the main event comes, the second young master will greet the crowd. I know our Wu\'er will capture his attention. Remember what we talked about." Xiong De carefully reminded his daughter. If they manage to get the second young master Lu\'s attention then it would be a great reward for them coming to this party.
Of course, Xiong De would not stop at this. He has a long list of people to \'meet\' and be friends with them.
"Yes father, I understand." Xiong Wuyue said excitedly. When they are walking earlier she heard a lot of rumor that the second young master was so handsome that he could be mistaken as angels. But more importantly, this grandson was so favored that the Old Lu personally invited the heads of the three legendary families.
Imagining that the successor of the Lu Empire coming to her and bringing her to dance in front of these people. Confessing to her that he fell in love at first sight, and announcing to these people that he would court her, Xiong Wuyue could not help but be excited.
"Ladies and gentlemen." A handsome host appeared in the middle of the crowd. The spotlight was on him. Immediately, all the guests turned quiet and looked at him.
The handsome host smiled that he got all eyes in him. However, sooner it would not be.
"Let\'s welcome, our celebrant, Lu\'s Second Young Master, Lu Yin Ze." As the host said that, the spotlight turned to the staircase.
A silver head appeared in front of everyone. He was a tall man and his skin was so fair. They could not still see his face as he bowed and give a hand to the person behind him. Old Lu came out with a smile. He let his grandson support him downstairs. A charming girl followed. Supporting an Old woman wearing an ancient clothing.
The people were excited as they saw the two humongous people. Especially the presence of Mistress Tang that was so hard to meet.
The public\'s eyes were divided.
Some people were looking at the two legendary figures while the other was trying to catch a glimpse of the rumored angelic face of the second young master. However, his back was on them as he was still supporting the old man.
When they are finally at the last stair, Lu Yin Ze turned around to face the crowd.
At the same time, all the guests gasped in astonishment.
The light was directed at Lu Yin Ze. His silver hair shined under the light. Whether it was hallucinations, they could see small silver lights surrounding him. His fair skin was so translucent under the light. It gives them a feeling that it was so smooth to touch. However, they don\'t dare. As touching him would stain his holiness.
His beautiful silver-blue eyes graced them for a while. Being looked at those eyes by milliseconds made them catch their breaths.
They all thought was,
He was so devastatingly beautiful.
