At about 7: 40 pm, the invited guests arrived one after another.
Lu Jinnian was nowhere to be found, leaving Han Ruchu, Xu Wanli, and Qiao Anhao standing at the entrance with smiles on their faces, greeting the guests.
On the way, Han Ruchu called out to the housekeeper, and whispered a few words into her ear, signaling for her to go look for Lu Jinnian.
When it was almost 7: 50 pm, Lu Jinnian still hadn't appeared. A hint of annoyance surfaced in Han Ruchu's eyes, but she still managed to smile and greet the two Xu Enterprise shareholders into the banquet hall. Then, she silently left. Just as she reached the entrance of the villa, the housekeeper pushed the door open. Han Ruchu immediately asked in a cold voice, "Where is he?"
Before the housekeeper could say anything, Lu Jinnian followed closely behind her into the house.
Han Ruchu shot the housekeeper a look, and the housekeeper immediately walked over to the banquet hall to greet the guests.
In her high heels, Han Ruchu elegantly walked in front of Lu Jinnian. Before she could say anything, two guests walked in. Han Ruchu's face immediately bloomed into a smile. She reached her hand out and hooked it around Lu Jinnian's arm. She smiled at the two guests and greeted them, "President Zhao, Mrs. Zhao."
Then, she looked at Lu Jinnian warmly and urged him, "Jiamu, hurry and greet President Zhao and Mrs. Zhao."
Lu Jinnian's cold and distant aura disappeared. He never spoke much, but in order to be more like Xu Jiamu, he went along with Han Ruchu's words and greeted them warmly. "Uncle Zhao, Auntie Zhao, welcome."
After saying this, Lu Jinnian made a gesture of invitation towards the direction of the banquet hall.
After the Zhao couple walked into the banquet hall, Han Ruchu hooked her arm around Lu Jinnian's and followed them. However, she maintained a distance from the Zhao couple.
Han Ruchu took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her to slightly tilt her head. She lowered her voice and said to Lu Jinnian in an unusually cold tone, "Tonight is Jiamu's birthday party. I advise you to be careful, don't make any mistakes."
When Han Ruchu said this, she coincidentally walked directly in front of a guest. She instantly stopped her words, and immediately smiled brightly at the guest. After the guest walked past her, she continued to warn Lu Jinnian in a cold voice, "Back then, no one forced you to help, you willingly agreed. Don't forget, your life was saved by our Jiamu!"
Lu Jinnian clearly heard these words, but his brows remained calm, as though Han Ruchu's words weren't directed at him. His gaze swept around the banquet hall, and when he saw Qiao Anhao standing not too far away, he turned his head and smiled at her, looking like a loving mother and son. Then, he pulled his arm out and walked over to her.
Han Ruchu was right, the Xu family didn't force him to help.
In fact, it wasn't even Xu Wanli or Han Ruchu who told him, but the Xu family's housekeeper who found him.
The housekeeper didn't offer him any benefits, nor did he use a pleading tone. All he said was a simple sentence: The Xu family is in trouble, and they need him and Qiao Anhao to act as husband and wife to help the Xu family through this difficult time.
