Chapter 796 Attending the Banquet

Xia Ling walked back with the servant.

She asked the servant: "The young master has been keeping the old man under house arrest?"

The servants who can be placed beside her are all Li Lei's confidants. Hearing this, he replied: "Yes, since the reform was launched, the old man has been asking the old man to rest in the Yangxin Garden. Now the situation is not stable, and there are still people in the Li family. He is ready to make a move, the eldest young master is missing, and there are many eyes outside looking at the second young master. Therefore, the second young master cannot let the old man out yet, and must be careful in everything."

She nodded, his life was not easy.

She didn't want to cause any trouble for him, so she went all the way back to Leiming Courtyard. During the rest of the day, she planted flowers, looked at the decorations, and didn't wander around. Otherwise, if he encounters the same thing as the last time he came to the headquarters, and someone accidentally bullies him, wouldn't it distract him?

Very late at night, Li Lei came back.

Xia Ling was leaning on a imperial concubine's couch in the living room, waiting for him. She was covered with a thin blanket and looked like she was sleeping. Seeing him coming back, he rubbed his eyes and said in a daze, "You're back."

Li Lei felt distressed and bent down to give her a hug. His voice was very soft: "Why don't you go to bed and sleep?"

"Waiting for you." She said with a nasal voice.

It had been a long time since she had waited for someone like this, and everything seemed to have returned to the good times in her previous life. She was waiting in the living room for her beloved man to return late at night. At that time, her biggest worry was what to eat for midnight snack. She asked him: "Have you eaten? I asked the kitchen to stew chicken soup and heat it on the fire."

In fact, he was too busy to eat. He had a haggard look on his face, but he said, "I've eaten."

He kissed her and said, "But I'm a little hungry. Let's have a midnight snack together."

She smiled and said, "Okay."

Under a dim light, the two of them sat at a wooden table in the restaurant, sharing chicken soup. No matter how heavy the outside world is, they are so peaceful and tranquil at this moment.

It would be perfect if Shaohui was by my side.

Gradually she became worried.

I heard Li Lei ask: "Did you go to see grandpa during the day?"

His spies were everywhere in the headquarters. She knew she couldn't hide it from him and had no intention of hiding it, so she said, "Yeah, it's not the way to go on like this. We have to live in peace with your grandfather. I told him that I hope we can live well in the future." Water does not touch the river." She didn't say more about the dirty things between her and the old man, because she didn't want to upset him.

Li Lei understood her temperament very well. If it weren't for the fact that the old man was his grandfather and was as proud as her, he probably wouldn't have bothered himself to chat with someone he didn't like.

He said softly: "I'm sorry for you."

She smiled softly, no matter how much suffering she suffered, he just understood.

Li Lei said: "Axiang said that you are becoming more and more powerful as a mistress." Axiang is the servant who accompanied her to see Mr. Li today.

Xia Ling smiled and scolded him softly: "Who is your mistress?"

"You," Li Lei's eyes sparkled, "By the way, I plan to hold a banquet in a few days and invite all the partners in the Li family to gather together. Will you go with me?"

"Me?" Xia Ling was confused, "What should I do?"

"Let's have a meal together and let them meet you." Her love affair with him was widely spread. Both the black and white parties knew clearly who he was seizing power for this time. In addition, Xia Ling was a big star and her goal was too big. It's easy to recognize him. Instead of having any trouble later, it's better to get to know the people on the road first.

Xia Ling was a little worried: "I don't know what to say to them."

Li Lei chuckled: "Just treat it as an announcement. I'm here, so you just sit and eat."

She said: "Okay."

When the day comes, she puts on the clothes he gave her - this time, it's a silk satin embroidered long skirt and a delicate fringed shawl, which makes her look noble, elegant and elegant.

Li Lei looked at her: "You are so beautiful."

She was a little doubtful: "Really? Will other people bring women? Will they be more beautiful than me?"

Li Lei walked out side by side with her: "Those who are more beautiful than you are not as dignified as you, and those who are more dignified than you are not as beautiful as you." His words were spoken from the bottom of his heart. Those who are prettier than Xia Ling are often the lovers kept by big bosses. , more than gorgeous but not enough prestige, and what about those principal wives? Even though she has momentum and experience, no one remembers falling in love with her when it comes to her temperament that mixes beauty and nobility - she is a diva, how can a diva be so easily compared to someone else?

Even in the underworld, it's the same.

His firm words gave her a reassurance. It was her first time to go to the Black Dao Banquet, and the faint anxiety in her heart was suppressed. She was fearless around him.

When they arrived at the outskirts of the banquet hall, it was Li Xiaoyao who stepped forward to open the door for them and lead the way.

Xia Ling looked him over and asked Li Lei, "Is he here too?"

Li Lei said: "Well, Xiaoyao is very skilled and is responsible for the security of the venue."

Li Xiaoyao glanced at Xia Ling unhappily and said harshly: "Don't worry, I will fulfill my duties faithfully and will not retaliate against you here because of personal grudges."

"Why should I be worried?" Xia Ling smiled lightly, "Your young master said that you are a loyal person."

Li Xiaoyao was stunned, he didn't expect that she would praise him, he tightened his face, stopped talking, and led them in.

The banquet hall was already filled with bosses from all parties and their women.

Most of the men are well-dressed and wear expensive watches, bracelets or rings on their hands. Many of them are quite old. Being able to sit in a high position is not something that can be achieved overnight, like Li Lei. Those who take charge of power at such a young age are definitely rare.

The women around them have also been carefully dressed. Most of the women who can follow the men here are the wives of the royal family, who are graceful and luxurious. The few mistresses are also the most trustworthy women of the big bosses. They know what to do on any occasion. Everyone looks quite decent.

Seeing Li Lei and Xia Ling come in, everyone's eyes fell on them.

Li Lei is someone everyone has met on a regular basis. The second young master of the Li family has a good reputation and is first-rate in terms of ability and means. There have long been rumors in the world that after a hundred years, Mr. Li will probably not pass the throne to his biological son. Instead, the throne will be passed directly to this proud "little grandson" who was raised by one hand.

It's a pity that no one expected that Mr. Li was still in bad health and the little grandson couldn't wait to seize the throne.

The person who can snatch food from Mr. Li's tiger's mouth is extraordinary.

They looked at the women around him. To be honest, since they learned that Li Lei was so angry that he launched a rebellion to seize power for a woman, they had checked Xia Ling's information in detail. According to the information, she is an ordinary woman - she was born in a commoner family, was selected into the Tianyi training camp, debuted as a singer and became a diva. She has a very simple and clean life. Even if she reaches the top of the entertainment industry, her experience is not complicated. Compared with them These people involved in gangs have no connection at all.
