Chapter 36
The guests were all there, so Lewis’s second uncle on the stage announced the official start of the banquet.
Because Lewis’s parents couldn’t walk away from discussing a business in the United States, this banquet was hosted by his second uncle.
The music sounded, and from the other end of the stage, two young men and women pushed the seven-layer cake. Lewis poured champagne with champagne, walked off the stage, took Laura’s hand, and led her to the stage.
He took the knife and said to Laura: “Let’s cut together.”
With that, he wrapped her hand and cut the cake.
They cut a piece, and Lewis let go of Laura. Then, he put the cake on a serving plate and handed it to Zhang Yunqin respectfully: “Grandma, please try it first!”
Zhang Yunqin’s cheeks are full of smiles, and his eyes are shining when he looks at Lewis: “Thank you for Lewis, it’s good to have a grandson!”
After all, she picked up the fork and ate a piece symbolically.
Then, Lewis gave his second uncle a piece, and then announced that the banquet officially began.
When the light changed, the surrounding crystal lights went out, replaced by candle sconces burning on the wall.
Suddenly, the relief is more three-dimensional and lifelike in the contrast of light and darkness of the imitating candlelight, which makes people feel as if they have passed through the Renaissance all at once.
Above his head, a beam of light fell, Lewis walked in front of Laura and stretched out his hand gracefully at her: “Feifei, invite you to dance with me.”
Laura looked at Lewis under the beam, only that he seemed to be dazzling at this moment than ever.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, as if he was smiling, but still gave people a powerful and cold feeling.
She slowly put her hand on his palm, he took it, and warmth immediately surrounded her.
How long has it been since dancing? It’s been eight years, right?
Laura almost forgot how to move.
“Forgot to ask you, Feifei, can you dance?” Lewis didn’t think about it until he brought Laura to the center of the stage.
In his dictionary, women should be all.
However, he remembered Laura’s resume, which said that before she went to work in the city, she was farming in the mountains.
Laura wanted to say, Master, do you think about it now? If I can’t, how will you act afterwards?
She was rather helpless: “I know a little bit, but I may not dance well.”
“Relax yourself and give me all your focus to lead.” Lewis said, and arrogantly added: “It’s okay, they will applaud whatever you jump into!”
She believes this sentence!
With elegant music sounded, Lewis took Laura with one hand and embraced her waist with the other, and began to dance.
She actually heard this song
Laura remembered in a daze that on the day of Spencer’s father’s birthday, he took her to participate, and seemed to skip this one.
It’s also a birthday party, but the protagonist has been changed, and she also covered her original face
Spencer said that he was going to have an operation, and he didn’t know what would happen. Will he die? Thinking of this, Laura shuddered, and her heart surged with complexity.
Lewis was surprised that Laura could really dance. He wanted to praise her, but when she saw that she seemed to be distracted, he suddenly dissatisfied: “Woman, look at me!”
Laura came back to her senses at once, and the picture in her memory seemed to be suddenly stained with a gorgeous tone at this moment. She looked at Lewis and smiled at him.
For some reason, Lewis felt that the woman in front of him at this moment was really beautiful.
He became more and more happy, and it seemed that the woman he chose was a good-looking woman!
A dance, she dances more and more naturally, calmly and gracefully.
In the lingering sound, Lewis held Laura’s waist deeply, her waist bent into a beautiful arc, soft and soft like willow branches, and ended the opening dance.
“Feifei, you gave me another surprise!” Lewis exclaimed, pulling up Laura and walking to the front of the stage together.
His eyes swept away, and he said to everyone on the scene: “Everyone, this is my girlfriend Li Xiaofei, please remember her appearance, remember my Lewis woman!”
Laura was shaken by his aura, and there was a sense of sight of the black boss introducing himself to his wife.
Lewis’s meaning is very clear, that is, he hopes that he will not dare to bully Laura when he looks back. After all, being planted in the hotel that day is very telling.
He just wanted to tag her with his label. Who else would dare to move whoever looks at him???
Next, all the guests present were invited to dance on the stage. At the same time, many took advantage of this opportunity to start contact and cooperation.
Lewis ate very little at noon, so he went to the rest area and took some things to pad.
However, when he ate several dishes in a row, he couldn’t help frowning.
Next to him, Zhang Yunqin saw that he had a bad expression, and asked quickly, “Deep words, what’s wrong? Isn’t it incompatible with your taste?”
Lewis put the plate on the table: “This chef is at this level?!”
“Waiter, change the chef to do it again!” Zhang Yunqin petted his grandson to heaven and immediately stopped the waiter.
Laura saw it and wondered how unpalatable it was, so she picked up the plate and tried a few dishes.
However, the taste is very good, the color and fragrance are delicious, this young master is too picky!
She sat down next to Lewis and said softly: “I tried it, it tastes good!”
“It’s far worse than what you did!” Lewis frowned.
“Huh?” Laura was really surprised.
In fact, since she had cooked a meal that day, Lewis had to cut the vegetables in the kitchen as long as he ate at home, and Laura would do it.
At that time, she didn’t think too much. At this moment, seeing Lewis earnestly, she asked: “Do you like to eat what I make?”
“Well, I only like what you do.” Lewis said, leaning close to Laura: “Did you put poppy shells inside?”
Laura couldn’t laugh or cry: “How dare I! But if you like it, and you can’t eat enough here, I will go home to make you a supper at night?”
When Lewis heard this, he was immediately relieved: “Really an understanding woman!”
“Ahem -” Zhang Yunqin said to the side: “Speak deeply, let me go to the lounge, I have something to tell you.”
“Okay, grandma.” Lewis agreed, and followed Zhang Yunqin to get up, and then rushed to Laura to say: “Fei Fei, don’t be frustrated, just stroll around and wait for me to come back.”
He followed Zhang Yunqin into the room and asked, “Grandma, is there something important?”
Zhang Yunqin nodded and sat down and said: “Shen Shen, remember you told me before, you want to find a girl by yourself, is this one now?”
Lewis hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, “It’s not her.”
“No matter who it is, I just want to say that the marriage will be settled before next year, otherwise, we will arrange a formal marriage for you.” Zhang Yunqin said sternly: “I haven’t urged you before, because you actually have a marriage contract.”
“Marriage?” Lewis heard it for the first time, and couldn’t help being surprised: “With whom?”
“Have you heard of the He family in Sucheng?” Zhang Yunqin said: “In fact, our family had some connections with the He family before, but as the He family became more and more low-key, many cooperations gradually stopped. But the marriage contract was not abandoned. The He family’s generation happens to be a girl named Laura. After the two gave birth, they agreed that Laura would marry the heir of the Huo family.”
Zhang Yunqin continued: “However, the He family suddenly disappeared nine years ago, and this marriage was over. Now, you are 32 years old, and you really can’t wait any longer. So, your grandfather and I hope that before next year, Set down your lifelong events.”
“Grandma, you mean, if Laura comes back, I might be engaged to her?” Lewis asked.
“Yes, if she comes back, according to the original agreement, you must marry her.” Zhang Yunqin took out a photo from her bag and handed it over: “This is a photo from her childhood.”
Lewis took a look and was stunned. Isn’t this Tiffany?
Although Tiffany should have just entered junior high school at that time, but this hasn’t changed much, but now her eyes are bigger, her nose is a bit taller, and her chin is a bit more pointed.
“Grandma, are you sure this is Laura?” Lewis said, reaching out to search for photos of Tiffany Jian on the Internet with his mobile phone, but when he reached out, he found that the phone was not in his pocket.
At this moment, Laura, who was standing at the door, had no expressions, but her mood seemed to be struck by lightning.
She really did not deliberately overhear, but came to give Lewis a cell phone.
However, I accidentally heard that I had a marriage contract with Lewis!
Is this world so small?
Hearing that Lewis was about to come out, she quickly stepped back several steps before slowly walking towards the door, pretending to have just arrived, and waved at Lewis who had walked to the door.
“Lewis, your phone fell on the sofa, and there was a text message just now,” Laura said, and handed it over.
“Good.” Lewis said, and took the phone: “Wait for me a while.”
She nodded and smiled at him, and watched Lewis walk into the room.
No, she has to find a place to organize her thoughts! Thinking of this, Laura walked around from the rest area, and then walked out of the hall.
It was only four o’clock in the afternoon and the sun hadn’t set yet, Laura walked out of the mansion and came to the garden.
I have to say that although the Huo family don’t live here very often, the flowering branches are still very delicately trimmed.
Laura saw a small pavilion ahead, so she walked over to take a rest.
She sat down there, closed her eyes and sniffed the scent of roses around her, and was relaxing when she heard an intermittent cry.
Why would anyone cry here?
Laura stood up and listened carefully for a while. Someone was really crying.
She hesitated for a moment, and followed the voice.
Through the garden, there is a rockery behind, and behind the rockery, there is a small bamboo forest.
The cry came from that bamboo forest.
This is the old house of the Huo family, so the crying person must be from the Huo family or someone who works in the Huo family?
In broad daylight, there will be no ghosts, Laura cried sadly when she heard the voice, so she hesitated for a while and walked over.
When she saw the woman sitting in the bamboo forest, she couldn’t help being stunned.
