Chapter 385: Chapter 385: The Banquet Begins _1

"Mo Han, you just saw it yourself, Yang Meifeng is really no good!"

In the garden beneath the residential area, Luo Shanchuan squatted outside, puffing on a cigarette while venting, "All these years, she’s been in charge of the family’s finances."

"Every time I want to buy something, I have to say all kinds of nice things."

"It’d be one thing if that money was all earned by her, Yang Meifeng, but those funds, they were all made by me at Luo Group back in the day!"

"That damn woman! She’s really going too far! She even wants me to leave the house without taking anything!"

"She’s the one who’s out playing mahjong every day, not coming home at night. She should be the one leaving the house without a penny!"

"Mo Han, why aren’t you saying anything? Stand up for what’s right, will you?"

"You’ve been in our family for five or six years now; tell the truth, is your mother-in-law any good or not?"

Is she any good or not?

It really is a difficult question to answer.

If she’s any good, wouldn’t that mean to say my mother-in-law isn’t even human?

If she’s not any good, wouldn’t that be directly insulting my mother-in-law?

Mo Han gave an awkward smile, his eyes darted around, and then he spoke, "Dad, you just said you needed four hundred thousand to buy an antique, are you lying to Mom?"

"Not at all! Absolutely not!"

Luo Shanchuan denied vehemently, "I really have my eye on an antique, and it’s definitely a bargain to buy it now. I’ve asked people, and if I hold onto it for a year before selling, it can certainly appreciate by more than a hundred thousand!"

Seeing his father-in-law trying so hard to lie, Mo Han found it funny. He shook his head, revealing the truth, "Dad, you don’t have to lie to me."

"Chen Chen told me that you met up with a ’big sister’ today."

"If I’m not mistaken, that ’big sister’ should be Xiao Li, the one who sold you the tea, right?"

Whoosh, Luo Shanchuan’s face turned red in an instant.

How could he have expected Chen Chen to betray him like this? Damn it, if he had known, he wouldn’t have bought her those two boxes of rainbow eggs, a whole ten bucks!

Seeing that his father-in-law didn’t deny it, Mo Han sighed and said, "Dad, you don’t have to tell me; I’ve already guessed."

"Although you like to study antiques and porcelain on a regular basis, the few times you actually make a purchase, none of them were ever over five thousand."

"Now you suddenly need four hundred thousand; don’t you think it’s abrupt? Not to mention Mom won’t believe it, even I don’t believe it."

"Dad, tell me the truth, did you make some sort of deal with Xiao Li for that four hundred thousand?"

"No! Absolutely not!"

Luo Shanchuan’s face turned red and he waved his hands, "How could I possibly give Xiao Li four hundred thousand? I really am interested in an antique."

"Good son-in-law, do you have any spare cash? Could you lend me the four hundred thousand? Once I make the money, I’ll pay you back," he pleaded.

Mo Han certainly had four hundred thousand on hand, but clearly, his father-in-law was lying, so he naturally couldn’t lend him the money.

Therefore, he shook his head, feigning difficulty, "Dad, you’re not unaware of my situation, where would I get that much money from?"

"The three thousand I transferred to you yesterday was my last bit of savings."

Luo Shanchuan sighed deeply, "Sigh!"

"Why is life so tough for the two of us ..."

Meanwhile, at the Luo Family Villa, the lights were blazing.

For tonight’s banquet, Old Lady Luo followed her granddaughter Luo Zitong’s advice, had the servants clear the hall entirely, and hired more than a dozen chefs to prepare a high-end buffet.

This way, it seemed more upscale than a traditional Chinese banquet.

Indeed, as Luo Zitong had predicted, guests came and went in an endless stream, and they all had high praise for the high-end buffet.

Today, Old Lady Luo was wearing a custom-made bright red Fengxiang long gown, with a string of agate beads around her neck and a jade bracelet worth seven hundred thousand on her wrist, looking imposing and wealthy.

Her granddaughter Luo Zitong had her long hair up in a bun, wearing a deep V purple evening gown, with diamond and platinum jewelry adorning her body, looking sexy and alluring under the sparkling lights.

If one could grade a woman, Luo Ning’s looks and figure would almost definitely score a perfect 100.

While Luo Zitong might not be as outstanding as her cousin Luo Ning, she would at least score 80.

Many of the men in attendance pretended to swirl the wine in their glasses, but their eyes were glued to Luo Zitong.

Some of the bolder ones didn’t even hide their desire, staring outright at the pale cleavage exposed on Luo Zitong’s chest.

Luo Zitong certainly noticed their gazes and her cheeks warmed slightly as she whispered, "Grandma, is it really okay for me to dress like this?"

"What’s wrong with it?"

The old lady glared at her, saying sternly, "A woman’s greatest weapon is her body! You need to learn to use your body to your advantage around these men!"

"Don’t be fooled by their genteel appearances; they are all beasts pretending to be gentlemen."

"As the Chief Public Relations Officer of Luo Group, you need to learn to manipulate these beasts at will!"

"Understand?"

"Yes, I understand, Grandma."

Luo Zitong nodded, though her face was still flushed. She felt like she was a piece of merchandise without clothes, displayed in front of everyone, without a shred of privacy.

But Grandma had spoken, and what else could she do?

"Wang Xiaoke, the secretary to the general manager of Shengtian Group, has arrived!"

Just then, a shouting voice came from outside the door.

All of a sudden, everyone put down their wine glasses and turned their attention to the door.

The reason they had agreed to attend the banquet at Luo Group tonight wasn’t really because of Luo Group itself but because of the representative from Shengtian Group that Luo Group had invited.

After all, Shengtian Group is Jiangling City’s top enterprise, without peer.

This time, with the East City Commercial Street Phase Three project, an investment of tens of billions, many eagerly wanted a piece of the action.
