Chapter 144: Let Me Send You a Red Packet
In the evening, Leng Rongrong changed into a wine-red strapless evening dress to attend the Mo family’s banquet.
The all-around nanny, Huahua, volunteered to do Leng Rongrong’s hair.
He casually tied Leng Rongrong’s long hair behind her head and then slightly curled the loose strands of hair on both sides. Leng Rongrong’s long hair was tidied up and matched her wine-red dress perfectly. All of a sudden, it set off her entire person and made her look languid and casual but extremely beautiful.
“Ruhua, aren’t your hands a little too skillful? I’ve really picked up a treasure!”
Leng Rongrong looked in the mirror. She was stunned.
Li Ruhua was tall and strong. He looked like a regular man at first glance, but Leng Rongrong didn’t expect that his taste was different. Moreover, his hands were too skillful!
He knew how to fight and cook well. Now, he had a new skill and could even style!
What kind of bodyguard was he? He had to be trained well.
“Huahua, I’ll sign you up for a training class later. You’ll learn about makeup, styling, and the like. From now on, you’ll be my personal bodyguard and personal stylist. I’ll take you wherever I go!”
Li Ruhua was speechless.
He didn’t think Leng Rongrong needed any bodyguards or stylists...
Her own Kung Fu was better than his, and she already knew how to style herself...
“I’ll give you a raise later,” Leng Rongrong added.
......
Li Ruhua’s eyes immediately lit up. “Alright!”
After Leng Rongrong had finished packing, Mo Linyuan also changed into a suit. It was a dark-colored suit with a wine-red tie that matched Leng Rongrong’s gown very well.
It was almost time, so the two of them set off.
Li Ruhua and Nanyu stayed at home. Tang Luo drove Mo Linyuan and Leng Rongrong, so he naturally had to follow them to the banquet.
The Mo family’s banquet was held in Mo Ziming’s villa.
Compared to Mo Linyuan’s villa, Mo Ziming’s was much more luxurious. After entering through the carved iron gate, the car still had to drive for half a day before reaching the parking lot.
Along the way, there were neat and beautiful street lamps. Because of the banquet, the entire courtyard was decorated with lanterns and streamers. It was magnificent.
Leng Rongrong puffed up her cheeks and glanced at Mo Linyuan. “You were once the head of the Mo family, but in the end, the Mo family only gave you such a small, broken building to live in. I heard that this Mo Ziming doesn’t have much status in the Mo family, but he has such a luxurious house to live in?”
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone for Mo Linyuan.
No matter what, Mo Linyuan was still Leng Rongrong’s husband. Regardless of whether he was real or fake, the stark contrast really made her a little unhappy.
Mo Linyuan looked at Leng Rongrong with a faint smile, “Because I’m disabled. A disabled person doesn’t have value in their eyes. Without the protection of my parents, I would naturally be abandoned. Are you angry?”
Leng Rongrong glanced at Mo Linyuan’s perfectly fine leg. “You might be able to endure it, but how long do you plan to keep up the act?”
“It’s almost time,” Mo Linyuan said calmly. His squinted eyes suddenly lost their twinkle and became extremely cold.
Leng Rongrong was speechless.
What did ‘almost’ mean?
Was Mo Linyuan going to end his days as a disabled person soon?
After the car stopped, Tang Luo opened the door for Leng Rongrong first, then helped Mo Linyuan out.
Mo Linyuan was still sitting in his exquisite wheelchair. Sitting in the wheelchair, he automatically assumed the role of a disabled man. He even looked a little sickly.
Because Leng Rongrong was wearing an evening gown, it was naturally inconvenient for her to push Mo Linyuan’s wheelchair. So, she walked beside Mo Linyuan, and Tang Luo pushed the wheelchair from behind.
When a beautiful woman like a fairy, a sickly but devilishly handsome man in a wheelchair, and an attractive assistant who was pushing a wheelchair but exuded a gentlemanly aura appeared in the villa’s living room, they still attracted a lot of attention.
Leng Rongrong and the other two were very quiet. Their appearance also caused the entire banquet hall to fall silent.
In the originally boisterous hall, everyone’s eyes were focused on Leng Rongrong and the other two.
“What a pity. If Master Linyuan weren’t crippled, he would also be a proud son of the heavens.”
“I heard that he couldn’t recover after being crippled. It’s true. He has a gloomy aura all over his body.”
“Is that Mo Linyuan’s wife? I didn’t expect his wife to be so beautiful! Isn’t she too beautiful?”
“Even a fairy descending to the mortal world cannot be compared to her.”
“Fairy? Why do I feel she’s more like a demoness who can seduce people’s souls?”
The crowd was rendered speechless.
After a moment of silence, the entire banquet hall was filled with all sorts of discussions.
They were originally discussing business and other matters, but once Leng Rongrong and the other two appeared, all the attention was naturally focused on them. Even the topic of discussion instantly shifted to them.
“Oh right, isn’t today the birthday of the Mo family’s young master? Didn’t they bring any gifts?”
“Don’t tell me they’re so dejected that they don’t even know courtesy?”
It was not known who had brought it up, but everyone’s attention was once again focused on Leng Rongrong and Mo Linyuan.
Tang Luo was speechless.
He had made a mistake. He had actually forgotten to prepare a gift!
Leng Rongrong glanced at Mo Linyuan and asked in a low voice, “Have you prepared the gift?”
“No, I didn’t,” Mo Linyuan spat out two words lightly.
Leng Rongrong looked back at Tang Luo again. “Luoluo, you’re not prepared either?”
“I’m sorry, Miss Rongrong. I forgot...” Tang Luo looked ashamed.
Leng Rongrong was speechless.
At this moment, the birthday celebrant appeared. Mo Ziming had probably heard the discussions of the people around him, so he quickly turned to Leng Rongrong and the others.
Ziming said, “I don’t need any gifts. It’s fine as long as they’re here. Ah Yuan, Sister-in-law, I’m delighted that you came.”
“Brother Ziming, happy birthday,” Leng Rongrong thought for a moment and said, “Well, it’s not right to attend without a gift. I’ll give you a red packet.”
When the people around them heard that Leng Rongrong was going to give out a red packet, they could not help but laugh.
This was the first time they heard someone giving out red packets on the spot without bringing a present to someone’s birthday party.
Most importantly, everyone knew the situation of Mo Linyuan and Leng Rongrong. It was said that they had been driven out of the Mo family. Mo Linyuan was already disabled and had been unemployed for a long time. Leng Rongrong came from the countryside. She did not seem to be favored by the Leng family.
It was said that these two people were living in poverty, so how could they give out red packets?
Red packets that cost tens or hundreds of yuan would probably be laughed at.
“I really want to know how many red packets Miss Rongrong will give to the birthday celebrant!”
“I’ll bet no more than two hundred!”
“No, no, no. Two hundred is too much. This couple is so miserable. They might even give a red packet of 8.80 yuan.”
“I’m guessing they’re here for nothing but food.”
