Chapter 170 Tan Family
Ming Ruilan's smile almost reached her ears.
Lu Chengyuan was the son-in-law she had chosen since childhood, and she had watched him grow up. He was not a playboy or a dandy, but he was capable and handsome.
Now I come here with Luo Luo.
Ming Ruilan looked at Xia Qingluo, then at Lu Chengyuan, and smiled, "So what is your relationship now?"
Xia Qingluo's eyes suddenly widened as if a switch had been triggered, and he immediately answered, "Friend."
Xia Chengde was stunned for a moment, and was amused by this sentence, "Weren't you friends before?"
He looked at Ming Ruilan, as if sharing this joke, "Hey, didn't the two kids grow up together? How come they're not friends?"
Ming Ruilan also frowned slightly.
The two grew up together as childhood sweethearts and went to college in the same city. They lived very close to each other and often visited each other.
It’s a bit weird to deliberately say that they are just friends.
Ming Ruilan narrowed her eyes slightly and said with observation, "I mean, has your relationship developed further..."
"No!" Xia Qingluo answered again.
Lu Chengyuan sat next to Xia Qingluo. He raised his hand and rubbed her furry head. He lowered his voice and said, "Didn't you promise me before that we would reconcile?"
Xia Qingluo grabbed Lu Chengyuan's wrist and lifted it up, "To make peace means that I won't attack you verbally or target you anymore."
She lowered her voice and said, "Don't talk nonsense in front of my parents, or they will try to match us up again."
After the incident in the hotel after her rebirth, her parents have been urging them to get engaged, but she didn't dare to tell them everything directly for fear of making them worry again.
Lu Chengyuan ignored Xia Qingluo's accusation, looked at Xia Chengde and Ming Ruilan, and said solemnly: "Now I am pursuing Luo Luo."
Xia Chengde and Ming Ruilan were both stunned, looked at each other, and then laughed.
Ming Ruilan smiled and said, "Okay, then you have to work hard, Chengde and I will be your assists."
Xia Chengde coughed lightly and said solemnly: "Chengyuan, I know your character, and I believe you can treat Luo Luo well."
"But our Luo Luo has always been like this since she was young. She is so stubborn that even ten donkeys can't pull her back. If she gets stuck in a dead end, remember to give her some advice. For example, if she can't make it in the entertainment industry, persuade her to return to the company and take over the Xia family's business..."
Xia Qingluo was speechless and his eyebrows twitched wildly.
He had just found out everything about her itinerary, but now he has changed his attitude.
However, she also knew that her father was like that. He clearly supported her but appeared to be strongly opposed. He had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Lu Chengyuan listened to the two parents very patiently, responding from time to time.
The two of them were in perfect harmony, and neither of them brought up their previous guesses.
They suspected that the laboratory information that Shadow Society was looking for might be in the hands of Xia Chengde and Ming Ruilan.
But it is obviously inappropriate to ask these questions at this time.
After a brief chat for half an hour, seeing that Xia Chengde was a little sleepy, Xia Qingluo and Lu Chengyuan left.
The two discussed and analyzed the situation as they walked through the hospital corridor.
Xia Qingluo's face turned slightly cold, "I think my dad's allergy this time is not an accident."
Lu Chengyuan thought the same. Although he had tried to comfort Xia Qingluo in every way before, he never let his guard down.
Whatever they could guess, Shadow Club would have definitely guessed long ago.
If the research data is in Xia Chengde's hands, then Xia Chengde's allergy this time is most likely caused by the person from the Shadow Society.
In the previous life, Xia Chengde and Ming Ruilan disappeared first, and then it was Xia Qingluo's turn to get into trouble.
But if he sent someone to protect him, it seemed to be meaningless.
The two of them walked through the hospital corridor in silence, each with their own thoughts.
Suddenly, a man in a black business suit came over.
The man has a square face, looks reliable and honest, and is tall and thin.
Xia Qingluo recognized the man at a glance and greeted him with a curved lip, "Assistant Wang."
Wang Jie stopped, nodded slightly, and greeted: "Ms. Xia, Mr. Lu, are you here to see President Xia as well?"
Lu Chengyuan nodded slightly as a greeting.
Wang Jie should be 35 years old this year. Five years ago, he was the special assistant of Xia Chengde and Ming Ruilan, and he was very efficient and good at his work.
Since Lu Chengyuan had frequent contact with Xia Qingluo, he naturally knew Wang Jie.
Xia Qingluo stopped and looked at Wang Jie, "Whose banquet did my parents attend before?"
Wang Jie did not hide it and quickly answered: "It was the Tan family's banquet."
When Xia Qingluo heard the word Tan family, his brows twisted into a knot.
In Country Y, there are also many aristocratic families, as well as wealthy circles of the upper class.
The Tan family is a Chinese family with a deep history and strong influence.
Their influence is huge and rooted in all areas of Country Y. From business to politics, from culture to society, the influence of the Tan family is almost everywhere.
However, Xia Qingluo has never liked the Tan family since he was a child.
The eldest and second daughters of the Tan family have been targeting her openly and secretly since childhood.
There were so many things that happened in her childhood, but what Xia Qingluo remembered most was when her parents disappeared.
At that time, she felt as if she was on a lonely boat in a storm, her heart filled with fear and helplessness.
Not only did they mock her with cold words, they also put obstacles in her way and deliberately hired people to provide false information. They watched Xia Qingluo running around in despair, wasting precious time.
Nothing is trivial when it comes to life and death.
Every minute and every second could be crucial in finding relatives, but they were so cruel to tease Xia Qingluo with matters of life and death.
This is no longer an ordinary prank, this is a deep hatred.
Wang Jie guessed that Xia Qingluo suspected that someone wanted to harm Xia Chengde, so he continued, "Mr. Xia took a sip of wine. There was peach in the wine. He took the wine himself, and no one handed it to him."
Xia Qingluo's eyes turned slightly cold, and he asked again: "How was the initial allergy?"
Wang Jie replied: "Mr. Xia immediately developed a rash. Although he took allergy medicine, it still couldn't suppress the allergy in a short period of time. Later, he felt his throat was swollen and he had difficulty breathing, so he was immediately sent to the hospital."
Xia Qingluo lowered her eyes. The most frightening thing about allergies is a swollen throat. In just half an hour, it could suffocate a person and take Xia Chengde's life.
Lu Chengyuan listened, and his expression became more serious. "Who arranged the drinks?"
Wang Jie answered without reservation: "It was the Royal Hotel that arranged the wine. They have already apologized and offered compensation. They didn't expect there would be peaches in the wine."
The Royal Hotel is a famous hotel in Country Y, and the hotel is an asset of the Tan family.
It seems that this allergy is in some way related to the Tan family.
Xia Qingluo lowered her eyes and noticed that Wang Jie was holding a black envelope in his hand. "Assistant Wang, what is this?"
Wang Jie picked it up and took a look at it, then replied, "This is an invitation to the birthday party of the Shangguan family's Patriarch. I came here today to talk to President Xia about this."
Xia Qingluo was quick to snatch the black envelope and stuff it into her bag. "My dad is still living in the hospital and has to attend banquets like this. I might as well go for them."
