Chapter 2135: Chapter 1236: The Lu Family Crown Prince Appears (Part 1)
The security guard got hit in the face, and looked up in shock, only to see Xia Weibao staring at him with utter disdain.
"What, not enough? Then how about adding these."
When she finished, another six standard invitations were flung over.
The security guard thought he’d seen a ghost on the spot!
The gilded stickers were VIP stickers, and there were only fifty of those in total. How come she had six?
And since she had VIP stickers, why did she also have regular ones?
The security guard, trembling, took those twelve invitations, carefully checked them again and again, and once he was sure he hadn’t misread them, he completely panicked.
Weren’t they told that Meng Songbai and the others didn’t have invitations, so he should embarrass them? How come not only did they have invitations, they even had double sets!
Now he was doomed. Anyone who could get a VIP sticker was definitely someone with an extraordinary status. Just who on earth had he offended?
All his earlier contempt vanished in an instant, and the security guard immediately plastered on a fawning smile. "I’m really sorry about just now. Distinguished guests, please come in, please come in."
His attitude was even more attentive than when he faced his own old man.
Xia Weibao sneered, "So this is the quality of R Country’s security? I hadn’t even taken out my invitation yet and you already decided I didn’t have one, and started barking nonsense. Sure enough, the dog is just like its master!"
Her Majesty the Empress was not a sharp-tongued, mean person; she was very protective of her public image and generally didn’t curse people out in public.
But that wasn’t absolute.
Her attitude toward others depended on their attitude toward her.
If someone already came up to her door to slap her in the face, and she still kept smiling like nothing had happened, then she might as well grab a strip of White Silk and hang herself on the nearest tree!
The security guard was so ashamed by her words that he wanted to crawl into a hole. He could only keep smiling obsequiously as he apologized, "I’m really sorry, Miss Xia. I was blind and ignorant just now."
"I’m not the one you should be apologizing to."
Xia Weibao was a bit impatient. Just now, although this security guard’s words were nasty, they weren’t actually aimed at her, but at Meng Songbai.
The security guard’s face turned very ugly. He glanced at the gilded invitation in his hand. Anyone who could get this invitation was someone with a name and a face, right?
To pull out six at once—though he was just a security guard and not very worldly—he still knew what that meant.
He didn’t dare offend the people in front of him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and apologize to Meng Songbai. "I’m sorry, Mr. Meng. I was in the wrong just now. Please be generous and don’t hold it against me."
Meng Songbai didn’t even bother acknowledging the security guard; all his attention was on those invitations.
Where did these invitations come from?
Why didn’t he know about them!
After they went inside, Meng Songbai secretly tugged on Xia Weibao’s sleeve. "Xiao Xia, where did you get those invitations?"
And they were even double sets. Was she sure this wasn’t some kind of joke?
Who gives out invitations in pairs?
Xia Weibao just smiled without saying anything and threw a flirtatious glance at Lu Hualiang.
With Lu Hualiang’s status, getting a few invitations was just a matter of one sentence, wasn’t it?
Under his wife’s worshipful gaze, Director Lu felt very pleased.
The calligraphy gallery was extremely lively. Works by famous calligraphers from all over the world were hanging everywhere, along with many pieces by outstanding calligraphers from R Country.
On both sides of the hall there were several tables set up, covered with fine wolf-hair brushes and paper, for calligraphy enthusiasts to write on whenever the mood struck.
Xia Weibao gave a quick scan and noticed that many children around ten years old were earnestly practicing calligraphy. Their expressions were serious, and the works they produced were pretty good.
She couldn’t help sighing a little. "Say what you will, but R Country really does have a lot of people who love calligraphy."
