During the rush hour after work, the sky has not yet darkened, and the roads are filled with cars and people in a hurry to get home and enjoy the rare weekend.

In front of the magnificent Anshan Hotel, the parking lot is filled with more private cars than usual, as if there is a grand banquet taking place.

Lu Xi, as the adopted granddaughter of the Wen family, is inevitably present at such occasions.

After attending Shen Yu's welcoming banquet last time, this time she has to attend the birthday banquet of an old lady she doesn't even know.

Rich people can really throw a feast for anything.

Led by the waiter, Lu Xi goes upstairs. The Wen family has booked the entire second and third floors of the hotel for this birthday banquet. The second floor is for receiving guests, while the third floor is the dining hall.

The second-floor hall is already crowded with people. Lu Xi immediately spots an old lady sitting on a mahogany chair in the middle of the hall, surrounded by guests.

At a closer look, Lu Xi sees Mr. and Mrs. Wen, as well as Wen Qingmo, next to the old lady.

Mrs. Wen, with sharp eyes, is the first to notice her and waves at Lu Xi with a smile, "Xiao Xi, come over here."

Lu Xi takes a deep breath, puts on a lively smile, squeezes through the crowd, and quickly walks to the side of Wen's grandmother. "Come, Xiao Xi, let me have a look," the old lady smiles kindly and pulls Lu Xi's hand, letting her sit beside her. "Oh, Xiao Xi, you've grown so big. When you first came to the Wen family, you were just a child," she says, patting Lu Xi's head.

Lu Xi obediently sat and let her touch, this kind old lady inevitably reminded her of her own grandmother and maternal grandmother. Lu Xi smiled and presented her gift, "Grandmother, this is the tea set I bought for you. I carefully picked it out. Happy birthday to you."

The old lady happily patted Lu Xi's gift box and said, "Good, thank you, Xiaoxi. It's about time to replace my tea set. I'll use yours tomorrow."

Seeing the old lady engaged in conversation with others, Lu Xi promptly stepped back and found a corner with fewer people to sit in.

Sitting alone on the sofa for a while, she felt a bit bored and got up to walk to the oil paintings hanging on the wall in the hall, appreciating them one by one.

She couldn't really understand these paintings, but she needed to find something to occupy herself.

"Wen Ershao, you're here."

"Come, come, Wen Ershao, please come in quickly."

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the staircase, and Lu Xi couldn't help but turn around and see Wen Qiuhan, dressed in a suit, walking in with a female companion.

Wen Qiuhan's expression was as cold and gloomy as ever. In contrast, his female companion was petite and slender, clearly an omega. She had a delicate appearance and wore a simple dress. She held Wen Qiuhan's arm timidly, looking very out of place in this setting.

Lu Xi immediately recalled a certain plot from the original book.

Finally, his gaze fell on Lu Xi standing in front of a painting.

Lu Xi was wearing the dress he had previously given her today, a blue dress that revealed a fair portion of her back. The color of the dress gradually changed from light blue to dark blue, and the layers of the skirt were exquisitely cut, with scattered pearl-like beads resembling surging waves.

Wen Qingmo immediately noticed that Lu Xi was not actually admiring the painting in front of her, but rather turned her head and looked attentively at a certain place.
