  Although the Tang Corporation is no longer what it once was at its peak, this dinner party is still quite prestigious.

Now that the empire is here, the old nobles need to inject new blood, and the new nobles need more stable connections and more noble titles. Tang's dinner has undoubtedly become a social venue for old and new nobles and powerful and wealthy businessmen from all over the world.

As soon as Bai Li and Lu Zhao boarded the Emerald Star cruise ship, they already attracted the attention of many people.

Apart from the two handsome faces, which are flamboyant and stern, the medals hanging on Lu Zhaojun's uniform are enough to attract attention.

"See?" Bai Li still had the smile of Young Master Bai on his face, but lowered his voice and said to Lu Zhao, "I told you earlier, if you stop here, the whole place will be a piece of cake." Lu

Zhao Zhao didn't understand: "Incense... what?"

Bai Li realized that there is no such thing as a sweetheart in the empire. After thinking about it, "It means that you are a flower, and anyone who sees it will want to come and tear off a piece of your petals."

This description made Lu Zhao quite speechless, and Young Master Bai bumped him with his elbow, "So if you are surrounded later Now, you have to get closer to me. The parents I photographed for you won't recognize you."

He made a gesture of making a decision.

Lu Zhao has no doubts that Bai Li can do what he says. Before he got married, he heard about the glorious history of Young Master Bai. This grandson is not stingy, and he can lift the table and beat people in front of everyone at the banquet. .

However, the news was spread in a vague way. The gossip about Bai Li was very speculative. At one moment, it was said that he beat up a little noble bully of a certain affiliated star, and at the same time, he said that he beat up some uncontrollable alpha. It can be regarded as expressing bad anger for others, anyway, Lu Zhao has heard several versions in this episode alone.

As soon as I thought of this, I saw Jiang Hao squeezed out from the siege of four or five people, with an awkward yet polite smile on his face, he collapsed when he turned his face to Bai Li and Lu Zhao, and walked two or three steps forward. Walking this way: "I'm really convinced. Just a while ago, three waves of people have asked me about their children's entry into the army." "Isn't it

good?" In fact, Bai Li was willing to talk to him, and he was relieved at the moment, "I was just looking for you to get acquainted with, and I didn't think about finding you a partner."

Jiang Hao said coldly: "They want their children to join the army, and they can increase the number of friends with them." The time I spend together, the original saying is 'career and love will not be delayed'."

Bai Li and Lu Zhao were convinced. Bai Li said: "Mistake, I didn't expect the enemy's tactics to be upgraded."

"I'd better go with you," Jiang Hao greeted Lu Zhao, "I can also let Major General Lu share my troubles." He is a young officer in the military, with a bright future, so many people have to come up to make friends.

Lu Zhao shook his head: "No one usually looks for me."

He was born as a civilian, and he entered the military directly when he reached his age. He basically never participated in this kind of dinner party. Even if he attended once or twice, he rarely met Jiang Hao who was kicked out situation.

"A few years ago, you were an ordinary low-level officer. This group of people had high vision. They definitely didn't want to have a relationship with you at that time." Jiang Hao took a glass of wine from the tray in the hand of a passing waiter, and put it in front of his mouth. He said in a low voice, "Now that you're messing around, they want to have a relationship with you, but they have to find an excuse?"

Lu Zhao said, "An excuse?"

After speaking, he saw Bai Li pointing at himself: "Isn't that me? ?"

When a celebrity in the military circle marries a noble young master, those who want to get in touch with Lu Zhao will naturally have a breakthrough. On the day of their wedding, the presence of some military figures, including the marshal, undoubtedly gave the little nobles who could not find a way to the military world a new opportunity.

Seeing Lu Zhao's clear expression, Bai Li smiled and said, "Do you think this kind of banquet is boring?"

Lu Zhao didn't deny it.

The legion's monthly gatherings allow them to eat and drink freely. When they arrive here, everyone is well-dressed, and they have to pay attention to their manners even when drinking under the bright lights.

"You have to get used to it," Jiang Hao said hello to several noble ladies and young masters who greeted him with an angry smile on his face. "Our group has long been used to it."

Bai Li also took two glasses of champagne, one Handing it to Lu Zhao, he casually said, "My brothers' childhoods were all made up of gorgeous banquets."

From the moment they were born, a series of family banquets had been arranged on the itinerary. Childhood playmates are the help for the future family, your playmates are not your playmates, your playmates are the exchange of interests between adults.

A banquet is not a banquet. A banquet is a map full of passages. Whichever way you want to go, go to the person who can give you the way.

"Forget it," Jiang Hao couldn't help but slapped Bai Li in the face, "Your old man is so interesting, how many banquets did you smash in the first few years of adolescence, you hit him with your front foot and chased you with his back foot, hitting you There was no sign of him - both of them ran away! Who in the aristocratic circle doesn't know about this!"

Before Bai Li had time to cover his mouth, Jiang Haoquan was shaken out.

Lu Zhao laughed out loud, he had never seen old man Bai, this dead military legend cruised around in the early years, and rarely had fun on the main star, when his partner died, others were floating in the universe and did not have time to land, that is, Miss Bai and Mrs. Tang now need relatives to support them, so he gradually shifted the focus of his work back to the main star.

Even so, old man Bai spent most of his time working. After Bai Li was born, he completely put down his career and concentrated on cultivating the only heir of his family.

That's how it was raised.

"Hua Hua, don't listen to this grandson's nonsense," Bai Li pushed Jiang Hao aside, and quickly changed the subject, "Banquets are quite boring, but we can entertain ourselves!" He shook the box in his

hand , the beautifully packaged gift box is quite conspicuous under the lights of the banquet hall.

Lu Zhao felt dizzy when he saw the box, so he endured it and didn't snatch the small box from Bai Li in front of so many people.

As the box flickered, Jiang Hao followed suit, curiously saying, "Yes, Major General Bai, you remembered to prepare the gift this year, why didn't you put it in the gift storage place over there?" Jiang Hao's habit took a

while He couldn't change his title, so he still called Bai Li a major general.

Bai Li didn't bother to correct it, he weighed the box in his hand: "The gift must be delivered by hand to show sincerity." After a pause, he asked, "Where is that bastard Tang Xiao...?

" Changing the words, Lu Zhao and Jiang Hao each drank champagne and pretended not to hear. Jiang Hao pointed with his hand: "You can find where there are many people."

Looking up, Tang Xiao was standing in the center of the crowd. Mrs. Tang was wearing a dress with a high collar and long sleeves, holding his arm, The smile is gentle and decent.

The news that the royal family will be present at this dinner came out a few days ago, causing many nobles and wealthy businessmen who had originally planned to deal with it casually to temporarily change their minds. They even changed a batch of congratulatory gifts. A lot of people gathered around the couple to inquire about the news.

Situ and Si Dao boarded the boat before Bai Li and the others, and they had already greeted Tang Xiao, and it took a lot of effort to get out of the boat.

Although it can't compare with Tang Bai's family's existence time, the background of the two brothers of the Si family is not bad, and halfway they have to deal with some "enthusiastic people" who enthusiastically inquire about their respective relationship status.

As soon as Situ had time to come out, he saw Bai Li and Lu Zhao walking this way, and hurried over to intercept Bai Li: "Then what, there are quite a lot of people at the moment, why don't you go later?

" Speaking, Jiang Hao stretched out his head to take a look, and said, "Let's go later."

This time Lu Zhao also heard something wrong in the tone of the two people, and when he looked up, he saw Tang Xiao standing next to him. The two closest people look familiar, aren't they Gao Ye and his father, Mr. Gao.

Because of Lu Zhao, Bai Li beat Gao Ye up. Although the incident was not made public, both Jiang Hao and Situ knew about it. Situ inquired about it from Bai Li. He didn't ask specifically, but he also knew that Bai Li didn't deal with the Gao family. The Gao family even hated Lu Zhao because of the riots in the legion, so he stopped here. Let's talk about the white calendar, so as not to make it difficult to get off the stage.

Jiang Hao and Situ talked hard for a long time before seeing Bai Li finally made a move.

Bai Li looked at Lu Zhao: "Flowers, you have to fight for it yourself."

"Well," Lu Zhao straightened his cuffs, and said calmly, "They have to walk around me."

After the two finished speaking, they didn't wait. Jiang Hao and Situ gave a few more words of persuasion, then stepped forward.

Under the bright and eye-catching lights, Bai Li and Lu Zhao walked towards the gorgeous center where nobles and wealthy businessmen gathered.

Tang Xiao had a good few days, because of this dinner, those families whose feelings had gradually faded after his father's death began to have contact with the Tang family again, and he seemed to have returned to the glorious years when he was young.

It felt so good to be surrounded by people and stand under the light. Tang Xiao felt Madam Tang's soft body clinging tightly to him. He knew that he was her floating board, her life-saving straw, and the God who ruled over her. From this omega with a noble surname, Tang Xiao can get the pleasure he wants to be in control of everything.

He felt that when Tang Kaiyuan returned to the main star, Tang's future would be bright. By then, he would not only get this sense of control from Mrs. Tang, and Tang's standing would be even higher.

This elated feeling didn't last long, and was interrupted by Bai Li's half-smile face.

Eldest Young Master Bai still looked like a fool. Although his every move could not be said to be reckless, it was still far from the decency that the nobles had always pursued.

Even so, as soon as he and Lu Zhao walked over, they still attracted everyone's attention.

"Hey, Mr. Tang," the Baili people shouted loudly before they approached, "You are really well dressed today!" The

dress Tang Xiao is wearing today is exquisitely crafted and expensive , In order to make his image more eye-catching, Mr. Tang flattened his stomach after starving for several days, in order to appear more temperamental.

The surrounding nobles also knew of Young Master Bai's habit of talking and doing things, and when they heard him speak, they all shut up and watched the excitement.

Lu Zhao and Bai Li walked side by side, and nodded to Tang Xiao and Mrs. Tang: "Congratulations."

His tone was light.

Mrs. Tang hasn't looked away since Bai Li appeared, she kept staring at Bai Li until she heard the "congratulations" before reacting, she smiled softly and said, "Thank you, Major General Lu Zhao.

" Mr. Bai, Major General Lu," Tang Xiao straightened his collar and straightened his waist a little, "Thank you Mr. Bai for your compliment just now." Bai Li waved his

hand: "Aren't you out of touch? The dress, did it cost a lot of money? There are probably not many masters who can make this kind of workmanship." Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard the

words, and it was rare for Tang Xiao to hear the praise from Bai Li, and said in a daze: " It's okay, it's okay."

"A man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle. You can do the same thing in this line of business. Hey," Bai Li raised a thumb, "You are a man!"

Everyone: "Indeed."

Everyone: "...Wait, this boast Why doesn't it look right?"

Tang Xiao's face turned red and black, and finally it was fixed on the bruise, and he choked out a sentence from between his teeth: "Mr. Bai's boasting is still so...unique." Lu Zhao clenched his fist to cover his

mouth , coughed lightly before not laughing.

This grandson has to turn several corners and bring a group of people into the pit to finish his cursing.

From the corner of the eye, Madam Tang also turned her head, covering her lips with one hand at an angle Tang Xiao couldn't see, lowering her eyes and trying to press the corners of her upturned mouth.

Lu Zhao didn't have a deep impression of Mrs. Tang. He didn't have much contact with the Tang family after he was transferred to the main star. He only went to the Tang family's old house a few times, and basically only met Tang Xiao, occasionally once or twice. After Mrs. Tang, only a soft and gentle shadow remained in the memory.

I met again today. From the first time I saw Mrs. Tang, Lu Zhao felt that heredity was really amazing. Bai Li actually looked a little more like Mrs. Tang, especially those eyes, the subtle tenderness at the end of the eyes was unforgettable.

It's just that Mrs. Tang's eyes don't have much light, maybe it's because she's old, she looks a little tired and submissive, the action of holding Tang Xiao is like a Siluo who grows attached to him, weak and powerless, and she doesn't even say a word Similar to Baili.

Lu Zhao couldn't figure out how a couple like Tang Xiao and Mrs. Tang could give birth to such a domineering son as Bai Li.

But at this moment, Mrs. Tang turned her head to snicker, and Lu Zhao actually found a little shadow of Bai Li secretly having fun after finishing his work on Xingwang.

"Mr. Bai, I haven't seen you for such a long time. You are still so unique in what you say and do." Mr. Gao's voice brought Lu Zhao back to his senses. He was looking at Bai Li with a smile on his face but no good intentions in his eyes "I've been educating my son recently, asking him and Mr. Bai to study hard, don't be bullied, and pay attention to noble qualities, and don't want to fight back." The words were vague, and the people around didn't know the

real truth. The situation is unclear.

Don't worry about Jiang Hao and Situ who squeezed in and rubbed fire when they heard it. Is there a mother who talks like that? Obviously it was his son who was beaten because of his cheap mouth, but he just said that he has quality and doesn't care about those who have no quality! Immediately, the two of them couldn't help but want to block forward, but Si Dong grabbed them one by one.

Lu Zhao glanced back, and heard Si understand whispering: "Don't affect Brother Li's performance." Turning his

head around again, he saw Bai Li rubbing his chin and glanced at Mr. Gao several times, hesitatingly said: "You still have Son?"

Good guy, the others waited for him to speak for a long time, and then came this sentence.

The smile on Mr. Gao's face couldn't hold back anymore, and he pulled Gao Ye who was silent at the side: "Mr. Bai has a bad memory, you met Gao Ye a while ago, don't you remember?" Bai Li's

gaze Walking around Gao Ye, he turned to look at Lu Zhao: "Do you know him?"

"Well," Lu Zhao said calmly under the eyes of everyone flickering with their own thoughts, "You know me too, and you have fought before."

Mr. Gao : "..."

Bai Li suddenly realized: "Oh, oh, I didn't recognize it."

Lu Zhao followed the interface: "Maybe your face is covered with blood, you can't remember."

Jiang Hao and Situ did not move forward.

They started to back away covering their faces, unable to listen anymore.

The people around were talking about it, Tang Xiao's face was not very good-looking, and he said coldly: "Mr. Bai, please pay attention to your words." Bai Li ignored him at all, walked over and

patted Gao Ye on the shoulder: "Brother Why didn't you say that your father is Mr. Gao?"

It was obvious that Gao Ye disliked Bai Li's actions, he moved, but his shoulder was pinched by Bai Li, so he could only frown and impatiently "Hum" sounded.

Bai Li turned his head and said happily to Lu Zhao: "Lu Zhao, did you hear that, I always thought this kid has no father!" After

saying this, the nobles immediately fell silent.

In the entire magnificent banquet hall, this luxurious emerald star ship, only Bai Li can wear luxurious clothes, put on that handsome and flamboyant face, and scold the loudest street.

"I hate you..." Gao Ye was so angry that he clenched his fist and wanted to hit Bai Li's face when he was shivered by Bai Li's pheromone.

He was an alpha who was defeated by Bai Li once, even though he was angry, his memory and body still remembered the pain of the last time. Fear is the emotion that is most likely to be imprinted deep in the mind. Bai Li let go of the hand pinching his shoulder, and patted Gao

Ye's face: "Look, the face looks better without blood, right?"

Take a small step back.

"Bai Li!" Tang Xiao was the first to come back to his senses. He endured the provocation of the alpha pheromone whose level was much higher than his own. "Today is your mother—" Bai Li glanced over, and he immediately changed his words , "It's my wife's birthday, everyone is here to celebrate, don't make trouble."

Bai Li sneered, and before he could speak, he heard Lu Zhaohan's indifferent voice: "Mr. Tang."

Everyone couldn't help but look at this young major general. He rarely showed up on such occasions. Bai Li appeared together on this occasion.

Lu Zhao summoned a waiter, took a piece of disinfectant tissue to clean his hands and handed it to Bai Li.

Bai Li reacted for two seconds before taking it with a playful smile, and wiped Gao Ye's hand that he had just patted.

"Mr. Tang," Lu Zhao continued, "Bai Li and I made time to celebrate, so don't make us unhappy." The

surrounding was quiet, and only the laughter of people around who were still drinking and chatting unsure of the situation could be heard.

Tang Xiao's face was quite ugly, he subconsciously wanted to ask what it meant, glanced at the faces of the Gao family and his son from the corner of his eye, and when he saw the angry but slightly guilty expression, his heart skipped a beat.

Originally, it was just a habit of responding to Bai Li's words, but now Lu Zhao spoke up. Even if Tang Xiao didn't know the inside story, he could more or less guess that Lu Zhao was not very satisfied with the Gao family. I couldn't help but feel a little regretful, I shouldn't have refuted the face of a major general in the military world just because of a little nobleman who couldn't get on the stage.

Tang Xiao was forced to slow down his tone, and said with a smile: "Of course, of course." He

stabbed Mrs. Tang indiscriminately, blaming her for being dull and not knowing how to smooth things over for him.

Mrs. Tang took a hit, shrank her shoulders subconsciously, and soon smiled again: "It is also my honor to invite Mr. Bai and Major General Lu. Don't stand here, everyone. We have specially prepared various delicacies, and The special products of the affiliated star are delicious, and the Emerald Star will set sail in a while, I hope everyone can have a delicious and wonderful night."

The aristocratic merchants around nodded their thanks. Mrs. Tang's reputation in the aristocratic circle has always been very good. After a few words, the atmosphere of the stalemate just now relaxed a lot. He kept staring at Lu Zhao.

"I almost forgot," Bai Li didn't intend to shut up, and he passed the gift box in his hand forward, "a gift." In the past,

every year when the Tang Corporation held a birthday party, Bai Li either didn't attend or came here empty-handed. Seeing him preparing a gift, Tang Xiao was quite surprised: "I'm angry, Mr. Bai."

A trace of excitement flashed across Mrs. Tang's face, and a pair of big eyes that were originally dead had a little water, and she looked at Tang Xiao's face. , Hastily reached out to take Bai Li's gift box: "Thank you, I like it very

much!" Mr. Tang."

Tang Xiao and his wife were stunned for a moment, and looked at each other. Mrs. Tang unwrapped the gift box under Tang Xiao's signal, and the people who had already dispersed were attracted to come over to take a look.

Inside the box was a plain silver necklace with a small silver cherry blossom in bloom and a sparkling diamond in the center of the flower.

In addition, there is a small bag of unidentifiable things, with a small bow tied on it with a small ribbon, and the package is quite fancy. There is also a small note underneath.

Madam Tang picked up the necklace, her fingertips were trembling. Her eyes were red, and she was choked up when she spoke again: "Thank you, Li...Mr. Bai, I like it very much, I really like it."

This necklace is simple in workmanship and simple in style. It seems unremarkable in comparison.

There were some trivial discussions around, but they didn't understand why Mrs. Tang was so excited.

Lu Zhao glanced at Bai Li, his lips moved, but he didn't make a sound.

He knew that Mrs. Tang's name was Bai Ying.

As long as an omega is married, how many people will remember her name?

Tang Xiao picked up the small bag wrapped with a ribbon, and rubbed it with his hands curiously. Look at the little note again, there is a line of small words written on it: B17 is a special product of affiliated stars, after taking it, it can keep your face radiant and bring you back the experience of youth.

"..." Tang Xiao felt quite subtle.

Turning over the small note, there were a few words written on the back: Mrs. Tang's 50th birthday party, we had a great time, and I hope it will still be the same today.

Tang Xiao felt his nose start to hurt again.

When Mrs. Tang was fifty years old, Bai Li had a big fight at the banquet, and the first punch hit him in the face, which made Tang Xiao unable to get off the ground for a long time.

This note broke Tang Xiao's ecstatic state for the past few days, and he fell back to the ground suddenly.

Tang Xiao hesitated for a moment, then opened the packaging bag, took out a small bag of snacks inside, and looked at Bai Li: "What is this?" Situ who was standing behind Bai Li glanced at it, and immediately lowered his head and

scolded "Damn it."

"Snacks," Bai Li smiled, "It's poisonous, do you dare to eat it?"

Madam Tang felt Tang Xiao beside her tremble, the reaction was exactly the same as before every time she got angry. . Subconsciously, she wanted to raise her hand to cover her face, and as she pulled the long-sleeved dress, Lu Zhao keenly saw the bruises on her snow-white arms.

Even though he knew that Bai Li would not do anything at this time, Tang Xiao still felt extremely angry. He almost immediately thought of the face of old man Bai, who had asked similar questions with such a superficial smile, saw him uneasy, admired his struggle and hesitation, and laughed at his timidity and cowardice.

He tore open the packaging bag and swallowed it in one gulp.

Bai Li grabbed Lu Zhao, put one hand on Situ's shoulder, turned and ran away: "He's been fooled, he's been fooled!"

Although Jiang Hao and Si Xiao didn't understand what was going on, when they heard Tang Xiao's earth-shattering After coughing violently and Mrs. Tang's exclamation, she immediately ran away with her legs.

A few of them ran and laughed, like a few silly dogs, out of tune with this banquet, and they were all quite happy because of it.

And immoral.
