442 Good thing comes in pair (2/2)

As Lexi sipped another round of wine, she didn't pay attention to the current occurrence inside the same space as her as she was deep in her thoughts. Every person who sees her could not help but admire her from afar.

Lexi was just too elegant, especially when she was nonchalant; she's akin to a masterpiece. They could only grace their eyes by looking at her beautiful existence but reluctant to approach her, afraid they would ruin the art.

Just as Lexi was deep in her own thoughts, she snapped from her trance when she heard the Lu's name over the mic. Arching her brows, she turned to the stage where an unfamiliar-looking man stood in front of Mr. Tang as he slowly bowed his head.

'Who is this?' Lexi inquired inwardly as she hadn't seen this person's face. Aside from Lyrick Jiang, Jarred Guo, Nico Zhuang, and a few men of her husband, Lexi could not remember that she had seen this man before.

”Good evening, Mr. Tang. Our Master, Mr. Ethan Lu, is sending his apologies to Mr. Tang because there were conflicts with our master's end, so he could not attend this special day. Thus, to express his sincerity, he sent a little gift to Mr. Tang.” The man tonelessly spoke as he gestured the gifts to be carried in. Since there wasn't just one gift, the other men in a uniformed suit just like the one who spoke helped the lone butler that had been carrying each guest's gifts.

”Hahaha! Mr. Lu is always as grand as ever!” Seeing seven gifts being carried towards him, Mr. Tang heartily laughed. His reaction wasn't the same reserved attitude he bore earlier as he showed an excited response.

”I see, his chosen theme is 'good things come in pairs'!” Nodding in satisfaction, Mr. Tang gleefully remarked as he appreciated the fact that Ethan Lu recalled that he believed in superstitions.

However, just right after he chuckled, his brows knitted as he realized that they were only 7 gifts instead of eight. Not that he was being greedy, but if Ethan Lu wanted to wish him good things by his gesture, his numbers were inaccurate or rather, it gave off a different unpleasing meaning.

Upon this realization, Mr. Tang frowned while a batch of murmurs slowly filled the whole place.

”Mr. Tang might wonder why there are just seven gifts instead of eight; the eighth and most precious one was already in your possession — our Madam's present, Miss Yang's. On behalf of our masters, we wished Mr. Tang for abundant fortune and great health.” The man courteously bowed his head as he relayed Ethan Lu and 'Lexi's' regards.

For a moment, the crowd including Mister Tang took a minute to process the Lu Corporation's representative said. Some that saw where Lexi was standing earlier, slowly turned their attention to her direction in a daze.

'In the end, he would let no one think that they could snatch what's his…' Meanwhile, Morris Liu slightly shook his head sideways as he had foreseen this coming.
