Chapter 129 Chu Rouxuan's careful plan failed
Afterwards, Xiao Lan and Lu Qingxi put on a black and a white mask respectively, and got into the Xiao family's car elegantly. The car slowly drove to the door of the Chu family, and Xiao Lan naturally stretched out her arm, intending to take Lu Qingxi in together. However, Lu Qingxi hesitated for a moment, gently broke away from Xiao Lan's hand, smiled and explained that she wanted to go in with Jimo Tan later, and waited at the door.
Xiao Lan understood Lu Qingxi's personality and knew that she didn't like overly lively and social occasions, so she didn't force it, but just nodded gently to show her understanding. She also knew that once she entered the Chu family, there would be a lot of social events and greetings waiting for her, so she didn't say much, just gave Lu Qingxi an encouraging smile, and walked into the door of the Chu family alone.
Lu Qingxi watched Xiao Lan's back disappear into the door, then turned around and waited for Jimo Tan outside the door. She took out her phone and replied to Jimo Tan's message on WeChat, telling him that she had arrived and was waiting for him outside. Then, she stood quietly at the door, waiting for Jimo Tan's arrival.
Pedestrians were coming and going around, and from time to time, someone couldn't help but look at Lu Qingxi when passing by. Her skin was as white as jade, and her figure was slender and graceful. Even though she was wearing a mask covering most of her face, it couldn't hide her beauty and temperament. She stood there quietly, like a beautiful painting, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Lu Qingxi stood quietly at the door, her figure looked even more graceful against the moonlight. The appearance of Jimo Chuan broke the tranquility. He was wearing a black suit, which was quite similar to Lu Qingxi's. If you didn't look carefully, you would almost mistake them for couples. Jimo Chuan's eyes fell on Lu Qingxi. Her beauty was like a quiet painting, which made his heart beat. His fingers caressed unconsciously, and the sound of his heartbeat was particularly clear in the quiet night.
Seeing that Jimo Chuan seemed to be lost in thought, Lu Qingxi gently waved the invitation in his hand a few times, which brought Jimo Chuan's thoughts back to reality. The two held hands and showed the invitation to the guard, waiting to be let in. However, after checking the invitation, the guard's face flashed a look of surprise, and he did not let him in directly, but asked Lu Qingxi to wait at the door.
At this moment, a woman in gorgeous clothes and a golden mask walked out of the door. When she saw Lu Qingxi, she immediately came up to him warmly and held Lu Qingxi's hand tightly.
"Qingqing, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you for a long time." The woman said excitedly, with joy in her eyes, "You look so beautiful today!"
Lu Qingxi was a little uncomfortable with her enthusiasm, and Jimo Chen immediately stepped forward to separate the two. Seeing this, the woman seemed a little disappointed, but she did not dare to disobey Jimo Chen's intention, so she had to withdraw her hand in disgrace.
Seeing this, Lu Qingxi had no choice but to speak up to help: "Rouxuan, go in first. Don't keep everyone waiting."
Chu Rouxuan immediately became obedient when she heard this, and walked into the door, looking back every few steps. Lu Qingxi and Jimo Zhu followed in. Inside the door, a grand banquet was waiting for their arrival.
After Chu Rouxuan entered the venue, the bitterness in her heart surged like a tide. The scene of Jimo Tan blocking Lu Qingxi kept replaying in her mind. She knew that she could not compare with Lu Qingxi, but the reluctance and jealousy in her heart made her unable to let go. She thought for a moment, and then quietly ordered the servants to make some adjustments to the process.
Lu Qingxi and Jimo Chuan walked into the venue hand in hand, and instantly became the focus of the whole audience. Although the two did not reveal their identities, their extraordinary temperament was hard to ignore. However, except for Xiao Lan and Chu Rouxuan, no one else present knew anything about them. When Chu Rouxuan was asked about their identities, her eyes flickered and she was vague, saying that she didn't know.
Helian Che watched all this silently, his heartbeat echoing in his chest like a drum. He knew clearly that the person in front of him was Lu Qingxi, who made his heart beat fast. However, seeing Jimo Chu guarding Lu Qingxi, he had no position and no way to get close to her, so he could only bury his feelings deeply in his heart. He drank one glass of wine after another, trying to numb himself with alcohol, but the pain in his heart became more and more intense.
Chu Ye found that Helian Che was not in a good state, and hurriedly helped him to his room to rest. In the room, Helian Che kept repeating the combination of "I'm sorry" and Lu Qingxi's name, as well as the sentence "I like you so much". Chu Ye had a headache after hearing this. He was sure that his brother must have been poisoned by Lu Qingxi. Now he was no longer like the son of the He family who didn't care about anything.
At the same time, the dance party downstairs began, and the cheerful melody floated over the venue. In the first dance, everyone spun gracefully with their partners, enjoying this wonderful moment. However, Chu Rouxuan's eyes were always on Lu Qingxi and Jimo Chen, looking forward to the arrival of the second dance.
According to the rules set by Chu Rouxuan, the second dance requires everyone to spin to the rhythm of the music, and when the music stops, they have to exchange partners with the person on the left. Chu Rouxuan had already secretly arranged everything. She paid close attention to Lu Qingxi's movements and was ready to pause the music at the critical moment so that Jimo Chu would have to hand Lu Qingxi over to her. In her opinion, compared with dancing with a boy, handing Lu Qingxi over to herself is undoubtedly the safest choice, and the scene of Jimo Chu dancing with a boy makes her happy.
However, just when Chu Rouxuan confidently pressed the pause button, something unexpected happened. The music, which was supposed to stop immediately, continued for a second. It was this short second that caused the crowd around to continue spinning, and did not stop as Chu Rouxuan expected.
This one-second error completely ruined Chu Rouxuan's plan. She watched helplessly as a man in dark blue clothes moved to the left of Lu Qingxi from her position. The man was tall and had an outstanding temperament. Standing next to Lu Qingxi, he actually looked particularly well matched.
Chu Rouxuan felt an inexplicable sense of loss. She originally thought that she could dance with Lu Qingxi smoothly and take this opportunity to get closer to each other. However, reality gave her a slap in the face, forcing her to face the current result.
