“Why is Little Bai dressed so plainly today?” Cui Yu’s cousin asked Bai Yi.

Her tone was a little reproachful, but she was not angry.

Bai Yi’s appearance was not inferior to Cui Yu’s, but her simple and low-key dressing naturally would not overshadow Cui Yu’s limelight. She could also remind Cui Yu in time not to lose her composure. Cui Yu’s cousin also hoped that Cui Yu could interact more with friends like Bai Yi who knew how to read people’s expressions.

“The person celebrating their birthday today is a big shot in the design world. Although they’re not from a rich family, everyone attending is from a rich family, especially the Lu family. Hurry up and seize the opportunity to build a relationship with the Lu family. Aunt will definitely be very happy,” Cui Yu’s cousin instructed.

“The Lu family?”

Bai Yi was a little puzzled.

“The two of you haven’t come into contact with such a circle. The Lu family is a big family in Hai City and is the richest family in Hai City all year round. Their family is rich and powerful. Their Young Master has a good upbringing and is a good person. All the young ladies and socialites in this circle want to marry into the Lu family.”

“Eh? Isn’t your husband’s surname Lu…” Cui Yu turned to ask Bai Yi.

Lu Qi was only a high-level executive. How could he be related to the famous Lu family?

Cui Yu’s cousin also cast a questioning look.

“No, how could he be a descendant of the richest family? My… husband is just an executive of an internet company. Although the surname Lu is rare, there must be others with the surname Lu who isn’t from the richest family, right?”

Cui Yu’s cousin retracted her suspicious gaze and thought to herself that she had almost thought that this little girl was not simple. But now, it seemed like she had only married into an ordinary family.

“Little Bai, then I’ll go with my husband to go around and socialize first. You two go around more. If there’s anyone you think is not bad, quickly help matchmake Cui Yu with them. She’s not worried about her own marriage, but I’m worried sick. Thank you. When it’s over, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Bai Yi nodded and looked at her frowning best friend. “What’s wrong? Don’t you want to marry the richest man?”

“If you want to marry him, go get a divorce and marry him. I’m not going.”

Bai Yi looked at her friend’s bitter face that looked even more aggrieved. She could only comfort her. “Alright, alright. Let’s freeload. Ignore them and let the richest man marry whoever he wants.”

Today’s birthday star walked onto the stage and the audience fell silent.

“Hello, everyone. My VIP is arriving soon. Our Hai City’s richest family, the Lu family. A few of their young masters are coming to my birthday banquet today. We welcome them!”

The quiet crowd became noisy. Everyone took the initiative to make way for the richest man.

Cui Yu and Bai Yi did not participate. Cui Yu was playing with her phone in boredom, and Bai Yi was holding a plate and eating away at a plate of seafood happily.

What richest man? No matter how good he was, he was not as good as the top-grade abalone in front of her.

Lu Qi led Lu Ci and some other brothers into the banquet hall.

He was not interested in these banquets, but the new products designed by this designer today had earned the Lu family hundreds of millions. Lu Qi admired talents.

Hence, he specially took time to bring his brothers to attend, revealing the Lu Corporation’s love and respect for talent.

He walked through the crowd under everyone’s greetings and spoke to some of his partners. The crowd gathered around him, and the black mass of heads could not be differentiated.

Naturally, Lu Qi did not notice that his new wife was enjoying delicious food at the dining table in the corner.

“Do you want to see the richest man?” Cui Yu asked Bai Yi secretly.

Bai Yi turned to look at the noisy crowd and hiccupped. “No one is eating now. How about we go to the dessert counter and get that opera cake? I saw that it was made very well. Don’t let it be emptied later.”

Cui Yu nodded and agreed to Bai Yi’s suggestion.

The richest man had nothing to do with them, but they naturally could not miss out on such delicious food that they could enjoy now.

Bai Yi stood up and walked to the dessert table with Cui Yu.

At this moment, an assistant of Lu Qi’s was choosing something at the dessert counter, preparing to send it to the young masters of the Lu family later.

He was stunned to see Bai Yi.

Wasn’t this the new wife that the staff around Lu Qi had been discussing recently?

Why was she here and not with CEO Lu?

When Bai Yi saw the stranger’s gaze, she asked in confusion, “What’s the matter, sir?”

The assistant shook his head and left with a few snacks. He had to report to the Young Master first.
