Chapter 147 Sudden Coming
The golf course goes further and further.
Perhaps because the heater was turned on enough, Lu Yao yawned lazily and gradually felt sleepy.
Finally, he simply put the seat down and lay down.
"Hey, do you think we should have a commercial performance?"
Hearing Mr. Xu's words, he said without even opening his eyes:
"Just one song and a shitty commercial performance."
"Wait until it's done. After releasing the album, how about one? Find a small bar."
"...What are you doing? Do you want to be a big star?"
"Don't be ridiculous, I want to be a star, and my dad has to beat me to death. It's funny, have you read the comments on the Internet? So many people like us, there must be some feedback, right?"
"..."
"...talking to you."
"..."
"Lu Yao?"
"..."
"Tsk."
Mr. Xu was slapping his mouth, feeling a little envious for no reason.
Sure enough, it’s better to be young.
Fall down and go to sleep.
Lu Yao slept so soundly that when he was finally shaken awake, he looked at the unfamiliar hotel and didn't even know where it was.
"...Where is this?"
"Old Yanjing Zhajiang Noodle Restaurant in Hawaii Community, San Francisco, USA."
"Hey, it sounds authentic."
Looking at his indifferent friend, Lu Yao sat up straight speechlessly, opened the door and got out of the car.
Looking around...not to mention, although there are not many luxury cars, there are still quite a few. But there were more ordinary-looking vehicles, crowding the parking lot in front of the hotel.
"What are the ingredients of these guests today?"
Hearing Lu Yao's words, Mr. Xu shrugged:
"Common people with flat heads."
Although the words were concise and concise, Lu Yao understood.
Followed all the way in.
At a glance, I saw a red notice board that said "Engagement Ceremony of Mr. Guo Xiangtao and Miss Sui Wei", with directions below.
Xu Ruochu and Hu Li were in front, and he and Mr. Xu were behind, walking all the way inside.
"Are your dad and Aunt Lin here?"
"Here they are, but they are in the private room. Some guests are not suitable for public appearances today. Let's just sit in the banquet hall."
"Okay."
Soon, the four of them walked into a banquet hall, and there were already many people inside.
"This way."
Xu Ruochen led Lu Yao inside in a familiar manner, and Lu Yao immediately discovered that many people's eyes were on Xu Ruochu and Hu Li in front.
At the same time, Xu Ruochen would say hello to young people in the distance from time to time.
After walking all the way to the very back, the closest distance to the stage, Lu Yao finally saw an acquaintance.
Especially Run them.
"Haha, here and here."
You Run smiled and waved, and Lu Yao responded with the same smile.
Xu Ruochen pointed to the empty table over there:
"Brother Run, let's sit there."
"OK."
Although there were only a few people at Yourun's table, today's banquet seemed to be quite "categorized".
At the very least, there was no one at the empty table until the four people sat down.
Although the four people sitting next to each other, their positions were taken by Hu Li, Xu Ruochu, Xu Ruochen, and Lu Yao. Lu Yao glanced at his girlfriend and wondered whether he should sit next to her.
But Xu Ruochen stood up:
"You sit here with me, and I'll sit with Sister Li."
"Okay."
Now, the two men "wrapped" the two women into the middle.
Lu Yao understood what Mr. Xu meant. Obviously, it was most suitable for him to sit next to his girlfriend.
After sitting down next to Xu Ruochu, Lu Yao asked:
"Sister Chu, what will be the process in a moment?"
Today, she did not choose black, but wore a warm-colored sweater. Xu Ruochu, who no longer looked dignified but had a cute temperament, whispered:
"When the ceremony begins, witnesses will come on stage. Their parents will be present. Under our witness, the engagement ceremony will be completed and the wedding date will be announced. It is not complicated...are you hungry?"
"No, I have to find out."
Lu Yao said, turned the glass tabletop, picked up the teapot, and a waiter came immediately:
"Sir, let me do it."
"Okay."
While pouring tea, the waiter apologized profusely, saying that he had been negligent in pouring water for another table of guests.
The four of them didn't say anything. As soon as Lu Yao brought the tea, Hu Li had already grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started eating them with relish like a little hamster.
In fact, in a sense, there seems to be no difference between a wedding banquet of this size and an ordinary wedding banquet.
After waiting for a while, Xu Ruochu's phone rang.
After she got through, she nodded quickly:
"Okay, Xiaochen, my mom is here with Linlin and Xiaoxiang."
"Yeah."
Xu Ruochen stood up directly. Lu Yao thought about it and followed him.
The two of them walked out of the banquet hall and saw... Lin Miaoyun, who was almost dressed up to attend, and the two children holding hands.
"Little Mom."
"Aunt Lin."
"Yeah. Lu Yao is here too."
Lin Miaoyun smiled and nodded, and the little girl had already directly taken Xu Ruochen's hand:
"Brother, I'm hungry."
"Ha, let's go, brother will take you to eat."
"Xiaochen, take them with you, I'm going upstairs."
"Okay, Mom."
"Lu Yao, see you soon."
"Okay, Aunt Lin."
After watching the other party leave, Xu Ruochen held Xu Linlin's hand, pointed at Lu Yao and said with a smile:
"Do you know who he is?"
"I know, brother Lu Yao, my sister's assistant, and my brother's classmate."
"Ha~"
Lu Yao actually had a good impression of these two children.
Especially Xu Linlin.
He always remembered the child's "impatient" tone as he handed him the umbrella in the rain.
Compared with Xu Linlin, Xu Xiang was relatively restrained. He raised his head and asked Mr. Xu:
"Brother, can I play with my mobile phone?"
"...You eat well, and I'll let you play."
"Okay! I promise to be the last one to leave the table!"
"OK."
Mr. Xu just handed over his mobile phone...and suddenly made a move.
He looked at Lu Yao with some embarrassment:
"...Lao Lu, let him play with your phone. This...this..."
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Lu Yao's intuition told him that there must be something shady in this phone.
He rolled his eyes speechlessly, turned on his phone, and handed it to Xu Xiang.
"Thank you, Brother Lu."
"Ha."
Lu Yao smiled and nodded, and walked in with the two children.
After returning to his seat, Lu Yao originally wanted to free up his seat for the two children, but Xu Linlin glanced at the seat next to Xu Ruochu and asked:
"Brother, are you sitting here?"
"I'll sit here."
Seeing where Xu Ruochen pointed, Xu Linlin directly chose to sit with him.
Xu Xiang was next to Xu Linlin and had no intention of coming over. Instead, he looked at Lu Yao and asked:
"Brother, can I play the game?"
"Yes, you can do it."
Xu Ruochu frowned...but in the end he remained silent and held back.
Obviously, she doesn't like Xu Xiang playing with his mobile phone very much.
Now, there were "6" people sitting at the table for ten people.
At the table, Xu Ruochen was asking her sister why she didn't sit with her parents. The little girl’s answer was quite straightforward:
"They smoke, and I'm still a kid. Do you think it's okay to smell second-hand smoke?"
"Haha, that's definitely inappropriate."
"Brother, you should quit smoking. Don't smoke. Smoking is wrong."
"Yeah, okay, I'll quit right away."
"You lied! You said the same thing last time!"
"Haha~"
Lu Yao thought to himself that this girl's caring attitude was very similar to that of Xu Ruochu.
At this moment, a voice sounded:
"Xiao Li."
Lu Yao instinctively turned his head and saw a man who was about... 30 years old and a royal sister appearing in front of him.
Both of them stared at Hu Li.
He glanced at his girlfriend subconsciously, but saw that there was no cold expression on her face, but there was no smile either. She just nodded calmly:
"Brother, sister-in-law."
Lu Yao thought to himself that this person was Hu Zhengyuan, the cousin from his uncle's family as mentioned by his girlfriend?
Sister-in-law...is her brother's wife?
Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Ruochu also said:
"Brother Zhengyuan, sister-in-law. Long time no see."
"Yes, Xiaochu, long time no see."
The man smiled gently, looked away from Hu Li and fell on Xu Ruochu, smiled and nodded, and then looked at Lu Yao.
Although Lu Yao was wearing a baseball cap when he came here, it was definitely not appropriate to wear a hat on this occasion and it seemed impolite, so he took it off.
After seeing Lu Yao's whole face clearly, he finally looked towards Xu Ruochen.
Xu Ruochen also shouted:
"Brother Yuan, sister-in-law."
"Hello, Xiaochen."
Sister Yu smiled and waved her hands.
Immediately afterwards, Hu Zhengyuan said to Sister Yu:
"You go and stay with our parents. I'll sit here."
Hu Li's eyes narrowed subconsciously.
But he said nothing.
And Sister Yu also smiled and waved to everyone and left. Hu Zhengyuan sat down and the waiter came to pour water.
He didn't seem to have any special temperament. Instead, he looked at Lu Yao with a smile:
"This is..."
"...Hello, brother, my name is Lu Yao, and I am Xu Ruochen's classmate. Come here today...to have a meal."
Lu Yao subconsciously stood up and said hello.
"Ha, sit down, sit down, don't be so polite."
Hu Zhengyuan waved his hand and asked with a bit of curiosity in his eyes:
"Your name is Lu Yao?... Our city has a national college entrance examination champion this year, is it you?"
"...It's me."
"Haha, then you are very powerful."
He gave a thumbs up:
"I heard that this year's papers were quite difficult. We haven't had a top scorer in the college entrance examination for a long time. It's amazing."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Uh...lucky."
Lu Yao quickly said modestly:
“This year’s test questions happen to be all things I’m good at.”
"That's pretty awesome. Top students must be very well-rounded people in terms of culture. The competition is naturally the most intense. Not to mention millions, to stand out among hundreds of thousands of top students is already amazing."< br>
Actually... I have to admit that Hu Zhengyuan's way of chatting is quite comfortable.
Lu Yao agreed while sneaking a glance at his girlfriend.
She looked expressionless as if she hadn't heard.
And... according to the girlfriend's words, she and her cousin are not particularly close.
First of all, the two of them were a few years apart, so they couldn't play together when they were young. The other thing is... although my girlfriend's father is the most favored, he is his old son after all. Therefore, when Hu Zhengyuan was a child, he felt that his grandparents were partial and disliked his sister. Of course, it's not like being unwelcome in the mean sense. If a brother can be like that, he definitely has it, but we just don't kiss him.
Since Uncle Hu's death, the relationship between the two families has been almost non-existent.
After her aunt went abroad, Hu Li also followed her. Although they were still cousins for so many years, their relationship only stayed at that time.
He understands, so he can understand his girlfriend's mentality.
Obviously, at the moment... she doesn't really like the other person sitting here.
Even if this is her cousin.
But...he is sitting here.
At this time, Xu Ruochu spoke:
"Uncle is here too?"
From this "uncle", we can actually judge the close relationship between the two families.
Not Uncle Hu, but Uncle.
Hu Zhengyuan nodded:
"Here we are, these old guys are all together. I can't stand that big smokestack in the house, so I ran away quickly."
"Ha."
Xu Ruochu chuckled:
"Brother Zhengyuan came back all the time?"
"Yes, Xiaowei is engaged and will always come back. It happens to be New Year's Day and I'm not busy... But let me rest for a few days. You don't know how busy I am working there. I can break three pairs of leather shoes in a year. , not lying at all.”
"Brother Yuan, the quality of your leather shoes is not good."
After Xu Ruochen finished speaking with a smile, Hu Zhengyuan waved his hand:
"I think so. I need to ask Yutan to get two pairs of military boots."
"Haha, put in another iron plate."
"No, just horseshoes. It's just right to be a cow or a horse."
"Hahahaha..."
Lu Yaoxin said that this man was quite humorous.
At this time, he heard the other party’s words:
"Xiaochen, are you two classmates?"
"Yes, it's still a dormitory. There's also a band."
"Are you still playing in a band?"
"Play, why don't you play."
"...your song is too ugly."
"Hey, brother, that's wrong. Have you looked online in the past two days?"
"No, what happened?"
“Our bands are very popular online. They are all on Youku’s homepage.”
"Oh?"
Hu Zhengyuan is interested:
"Is singing popular?"
"Yes, the video of our school's performance has been uploaded, and netizens like it very much. Maybe I will become a big star in the future."
"Ha~"
Hu Zhengyuan obviously didn't take this seriously, but he asked:
"Is there a video? Let me take a look."
"Yes."
Mr. Xu took out his cell phone, rummaged through it, and handed it to him.
Soon, Lu Yao's voice sounded inside:
"People inside the rainbow, how are you..."
"Hmm... Lu Yao is still the lead singer?"
"Uh, yes, brother. I am the lead singer of our band."
"Okay, okay."
Although he said it was okay, he did not finish watching the video. Instead, he nodded and handed it back to Xu Ruochen. He turned and looked at Lu Yao again:
"Then you will become a big star in the future? Are you planning to enter the entertainment industry?"
"No."
Lu Yao smiled and shook his head:
"The people in our band are actually not interested in these things. We formed them just to play by ourselves."
"Celebrities are so popular nowadays."
Hu Li frowned slightly after hearing Hu Zhengyuan's words.
At this time, a hand was placed on her leg.
It's Xu Ruochu.
"I don't know what other people think. But... Lu Yao and Xiaochen's band is different from what you think, Brother Zhengyuan. Their main business is to be students of Fuhua University. You can't be so qualitative. .Music and entertainment are two different things.”
"Uh...ha."
Hu Zhengyuan looked at Xu Ruochu, smiled and nodded:
"Xiaochu still loves to be serious, and I don't mean that either. I just sigh... You don't know that since our stadium was built, the venue fee alone can increase a lot of taxes every year. . Looking at the venue usage fees and ticket taxes, you can see that this kind of entertainment is indeed a good engine to stimulate the economy, and this cannot be faked.”
"So, it's like what I said."
Xu Ruochu spoke calmly:
"You are speaking from the perspective of entertainment, but from the perspective of music, the purpose of music is to resonate with the listener. From the day it was born to the present, its essence has never changed. As for what you said, it is just a derivative Quality cannot be generalized. ”
"Well, it makes sense... Well. Your point of view is quite right. Looking back to find an appropriate angle of entry is a good social research topic. It is also a very correct idea. As long as you ensure that your thoughts are not biased, the direction is still easy to control. ”
From the beginning to now.
Lu Yao finally saw a bit of "official accent" in him.
Hu Li's side also became quiet again, as if he didn't hear the words.
In this way, Hu Zhengyuan and Xu Ruochu started chatting unknowingly on the topic of "entertainment circle".
Lu Yao has seen "Mr. Xu" at the negotiating table, so he knows that this is a small scene at best.
The two chatted for a while, and suddenly music sounded in the banquet hall.
The conversation between the two stopped abruptly.
Obviously, this engagement party is about to begin.
……
Lu Yao actually attended the engagement banquet. Putting aside other aspects, the process was essentially the same.
Sui Wei on the stage stood with the man named Guo Xiangtao. The two of them could be regarded as talented and handsome.
Witnessed by the parents of both parties, the engagement banquet completed the recognition of the couple and announced the wedding date. Then the banquet started, and the waiters carried small carts to serve the dishes in full swing.
There is no need to mention the taste of the dishes, of course.
After Xu Linlin was full, she finally got Xu Ruochu's mobile phone.
As for Xu Xiang, he never let go of Lu Yao's cell phone.
Lu Yao guessed that this child's problem with wearing glasses might come from this aspect.
And eating with Guo Zhengyuan... actually felt pretty good.
He has his own understanding of everything, and the atmosphere for everyone's chat is still very good.
However, at the end of the meal, he answered the phone and politely left the table.
Hu Li breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.
Just as he was about to speak, he looked up and saw his cousin leaving the table and walking this way with someone.
Her brows furrowed.
Lu Yao, who had been paying attention to her, turned around instinctively.
I saw Guo Zhengyuan and a woman who looked about 50 years old walking this way.
He saw the woman.
And the woman was looking at him.
In other words, from beginning to end, her eyes stayed on Lu Yao.
Xu Ruochu also saw it.
A little surprised, but still got up directly.
Seeing this, Xu Ruochen subconsciously stood up and then turned around.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Xiang and Xu Linlin were quickly picked up.
Finally, Hu Li stood up.
"...Aunt."
she shouted.
And Xu Ruochu and Xu Ruochen also shouted:
"Auntie."
"Yeah."
The woman nodded with a smile and walked to the table.
Just listen to Hu Zhengyuan laugh and say:
"Gu, he is Lu Yao."
Lu Yao was stunned.
Others also showed puzzled expressions.
Then...
Everyone heard one sentence:
"Well, sit down, we are a family, why are you being so polite?...Xiaoli, is he your new boyfriend?"
"!!!"
moment.
This sentence was like a bomb, exploding in everyone's mind.
Hu Li was stunned.
Lu Yao was also confused.
Everyone... was confused.
