Did I Disappoint You? (4)

When it was almost seven forty, the guests arriving one after the other.

No one knew where Lu Jinnian had went. All Han Ruchu, Xu Wanli, and Qiao Anhao could do was to stand by the door, wearing beaming smiles as they welcomed guests. 

On her way, Han Ruchu called the housekeeper over and whispered for him to go and find Lu Jinnian.

At seven fifty, Lu Jinnian still hadn't turned up. Annoyance surfaced in Han Ruchu's eyes, but she still kept her smile up as she greeted Xu family's business investors into the banquet hall. Then she silently left, walking over to the housekeeper who had just walked through the mansion's doors. Han Ruchu immediately asked in a cold voice, "Where is he?"

Before the housekeeper could speak, Lu Jinnian followed in closely behind, stepping into the house.

Han Ruchu shot the housekeeper a look, from which the housekeeper instinctively knew to walk over and take care of the guests in the hall.
