Chapter 26: Birthday Banquet (8)

Lu Quiang's sister is a well-known strong woman in the circle.

Lu Quiang's father was seriously ill three years ago, and the company was almost in desperation.

It was Lu Quiang's sister, Lu Qian, who pulled the company back from the desperate situation.

It even took just three years to bring the company back to its peak.

Therefore, Lu Qian has repeatedly become a good daughter-in-law candidate in these circles in Kyoto.

And Choi Jaywon's parents also decided to let their son marry Lu Qian.

But it was all in secret. Although Choi Jaywon parents had this idea, they still respected their son's wishes.

Although Choi Jaywon also thinks that Lu Qian is good, but Lu Qian has a brainless younger brother.

That's why, Choi Jaywon never planned to marry Lu Qian.

This birthday party was originally a marriage date party. In fact, the people who came basically knew it, and everyone knew it well, but they didn't say it out loud.

Now, without Lu Quiang directly pointing out this matter, this not only offended the Choi family, but also hurt Lu Qian's reputation.

After all, in the Kyoto circle, family marriages are all carried out secretly. What is placed on

the table is called commodity trading.

"When did our Choi family say we were marrying to your Lu family? If you have hallucinations, go back and treat them. Don't embarrass yourself here."

Lu Quiang did not expect that Choi Jaywon would say these words, Isn't their Choi family planning to marry the Lu family?

"Choi Jaywon you....."

"Lu Quiang, shut up for me."

The middle-aged man who walked over with Choi Jaywon's parents interrupted.

The middle-aged man looked very similar to Lu Quiang, and beside him stood a beautiful woman in a red skirt.

Seeing the person coming, Lu Qiang immediately shouted as if he had found a backer.

"Dad, you came just in time, Choi Jaywon actually helped this country bumpkin and insulted me. He really didn't take our Lu family seriously. And even say no to elder sister..."

"Shut up, do you hear me?" Father Lu interrupted Lu Quiang's words again, witha look of anger on his face.

There was warning and reprimand in the eyes looking at Lu Quiang's.

After interrupting Lu Quiang's words. Father Lu turned around and said to Choi Jaywon's parents.

"I'm so sorry, brother Choi, my child is not sensible. I interrupted Jaywon's birthday party, So I will take him back to educate

him."

"This It's a birthday present for Jaywon."

Father Lu took the birthday gift prepared for Choi Jaywon from his daughter and handed it to Choi Jaywon.

He then pulled Lu Quiang away.

But Lu Quiang seenmed unwilling, and turned his head to give Lee Minho and Kang Dongwon a hard look.

Lu Qian said to Choi Jaywon with an apologetic face. "Sorry, Jaywon, I will apologize to you on behalf of my brother."

Although he has a bad relationship with Lu Quiang, his relationship with Lu Qian is still good.

Seeing Lu Qian being left behind by Father Lu and apologizing on Lu Quiang's behalf. Choi Jaywon feel a little sympathetic.

Then he waved his hand and said. "Just apologize to the person Lu Quiang bullied. It was my cousin, and her friends."

Choi Jaywon originally wanted Lu Qian

o apologize to Lee Minho, but thinking that Lee Minho was so low-key before, he probably didn't want to let so many people know his identity in public.

Therefore, there is no need for an explanation. He'll just makes people think that Lee Minho is just a friend of Choi Hyejin.

Hearing what Choi Jaywon said, Lu Qian didn't feel that apologizing to Lee Minho and the others would hurt her face, and sincerely bowed and apologized to the three of them.

Immediately afterwards, father Choi and mother Choi also apologized and left politely.

During the whole process, Lu Qian's attitude was very sincere and polite. It formed a sharp contrast with Lu Quiang attitude.

Mother Choi looked at Lu Qian's back and shook her head, "Lu Qian is much more promising than Lu Quiang. Why is this old Lu so stubborn?"

It's a pity, a good wife candidate.

Father Choi shook his head and also agreed. "That's right, it's a pity for Lu Qian."

After the Lu family left, the banquet hall resumed its bustle.

Choi Jaywon immediately wallked to Lee Minho. "Young Master Lee, I'm sorry to make you see that."

Lee Minho shook his head slightly and said. "It's fine."

Choi Jaywon then looked at Kang Dongwon again who was next beside Choi Hyejin and asked Lee Minho.

"Young Master Lee, do you know my cousin's boyfriend?"

Lee Minho didn't hide anything either.

He glanced at the shocked Kang Dongwon and said directly. "He's my college roommate and friend."

"Young Master Lee's friend is also my friend." Choi Jaywon patted his chest and said to Kang Dongwon.

"You are also my cousin's boyfriend now, and you will be part of the family from now on. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me."

Kang Dongwon was in dazed trying to recovere what happened just now. Choi Hyejin who was next to him immediately pushed him behind his back.

Kang Dongwon came back to his senses and immnediately said. "Oh, okay, thank

you, Young Master Choi."

Choi Jaywon waved his hand and said. "You are all my cousin's boyfriend. Why am I called Young Master Choi? Call me cousin instead."

Kang Dongwon was immediately flattered and replied enthusiastically.

"Yes cousin."

Choi Jaywon nodded in satisfaction, and then saw his father waving to him.

Turning to Lee Minho, he said. "Young

Master Lee, if there's nothing else, let's leave first,"

Lee Minho nodded, and Choi Jaywon told Yoon Jungsu and the others. "Let's show Young Master Lee around."

"Okay, let's go. With us here, it's impossible to let people like Lu Quiang come out around."

"That's right, let's go."

After Choi Jaywon left, Seo Inguk immediately said enthusiastically,

"Young Master Lee, I'll get you some

wine."

Lee Minho actually doesn't like drinking, but it's not easy to refuse Seo Inguk, so he just said casually. "Champagne, thank you!"

Seo Inguk then immediately rushed out to get champagne.

After that the others immediately surrounded Lee Minho enthusiastically.

After a while, Kang Dongwon and Choi Hyejin Rongrong were squeezed out from the crowd.

Lee Minho was extremely helpless, and felt that these second generations were too enthusiastic.

Seeing Kang Dongwon's surprised look again. After going back, he will definitely be tortured.

Kang Dongwon saw that these rich second generations were all surrounding Lee Minho, and it seemed that they were trying to get close to him.

He looked at Lee Minho in surprise.

He only thought that Lee Minho only knows Choi Jaywon, but how can he still know how many rich second generations?

Choi Hyejin pulled Kang Dongwon aside and asked. "Dongwon, Yoon Jungsu and the others my cousin's rich second-generation friends. How could Qiushui know them Besides, Lee Minho and my cousin seem to be very familiar too each other."

Although Choi Hyejin is Choi Jaywon's cousin, her family's conditions are ordinary.

In addition, she has a mediocre relationship with Choi Jaywon, so there is no way to enter the circle of the rich second generation.

What surprised her was how could this roommate of her boyfriend know her cousin, Yoon Jungsu and the others.

Moreover, looking at his cousin and Yoon Jungsu's attitude towards Lee Minho, it seems that there is a hint of flattery?

Kang Dongwon looked at Lee Minho who was surrounded by a group of rich second generations not far away, and said blankly.

"I don't know either."

In Kang Dongwon's impression, Lee Minho had always been a poor student, why did he suddenly change?

Lee Minho now can spoke calmly and confidently with those rich second generations. He felt extremely strange all of a sudden.

Choi Jaywon was called to the stage, and Father Choi began the speech at today's banquet.

"Welcome everyone to the birthday party. I won't make it longer. Today's protagonist is my son, Jaywon. Let him perform the first dance of the party."

As Father Choi finished his words the music started, then gave Choi Jaywon a wink.

At that moment Choi Jaywon immediately pursed his lips.

The opening dance of the birthday party is always invited by the birthday protagonist to dance with his favorite dance partner.

When you're married then you'll dance with your wife or husband.

If you are not married, you must invite someone you like to dance.

In today's banquet, many girls came for Choi Jaywon.

After the music started, many girls looked at Choi Jaywon with longing and shy eyes.

As long as Choi Jaywon chooses one of them, it means that the marriage is half done.

Choi Jaywon doesn't want to get married at all, especially when faced with these girls who look shy and pure with exquisite makeup, but each of them has a completely different face behind their backs.

Everyone is basically in the same circle, so why pretend to be innocent?

His eyes paused on Choi Hyejin at the moment and decided. He walked towards her and stretched out his hand.

"Cousin, come and dance with brother."

Choi Hyejin glanced sideways at her boyfriend, who smiled and said.

"Go."

Only then did Choi Hyejin put her hand on Choi Jaywon, and the two turned around, entered the dance floor, and began to dance

lightly.

Although Kang Dongwon is also a rich second generation, his family got rich suddenly, and he is surrounded by ordinary people. It was the first time to participate in such a high-level banquet.

Seeing his girlfriend dancing in the center of the dance floor like a fairy, Kang Dongwon suddenly felt that the two of them seemed to be worlds apart.

Lee Minho noticed and walked to his side, and said. "Why you're so jealous? It's just a dance between your girlfriend and her cousin."

Kang Dongwon folded his hands on his chest, curled his lips and said. "Hey, Young Master Lee has finished talking about big business. Are you free to entertain this little

subordinate?"

Lee Minho punched his shoulder with a fist in a funny way. "What nonsense are you talking about? Young Master Lee? Little subordinate?"

After a Lee Minho managed to deal with Yoon Jungsu and the others, and found out about Choi Jaywon's game company from them.

He then immediately came to find Kang Dongwon.

Kang Dongwon said unhappily. "Okay you're exposed, and you still want to pretend. You are ruthless enough to pretend to be a poor

student in front of us. You can't bear to eat or wear something, It takes four years to pretend."

"I don't, it's not what you think." Lee Minho was helpless.

He wanted to explain, but found that the explanation was not clear at all.

He contemplated how to explain. It is said that there is a system that gave him a house, a car, and a 10 million black card?

Thinking about saying these, Lee Minho himself didn't believe it will work.

What's more, everything about the system can't be exposed.

But if he didn't explain, he was afraid that Kang Dongwon and the others would stay away from him.

Just now, he clearly saw the strangeness in his eyes towards him.

He didn't want to lose these brothers.

"It's all over, and you still want to argue?"

Kang Dongwon looked at Lee Minho up and down, and rolled his eyes.

"Why didn't I realize before? Your acting skills are good. How did you do it?"

Kang Dongwon was extremely puzzled. Lee Minho really looked like an ordinary student before.

Then suddenly there isa change in temperament. He became elegant and looked so noble even the changed in habits.

At that time he thought it was Lee Minho started to change himself in order to find a job.

Now everything came to light.

He now understand the sudden changed in Lee Minho's actions.
