Qin Xiao volunteered to help and followed behind Song Wei. Every time he pulled out the lotus roots, they were broken. They looked very ugly.
Song Wei did not want to see him spoil the food. She said with disdain, “Stop. Go up and wait.”
Qin Xiao felt wronged. This was the first time in his life that he had plucked lotus roots. “Master, I can learn it. Give me another chance.”
Song Wei ignored him.
The lotus roots were almost done. Just as Song Wei was about to go ashore, a black car stopped in front of her. A man in a suit got out of the car. “Excuse me, is this Miss Song?”
Song Wei climbed out of the pond. Her hair was messy, and her face was covered in mud. She fiddled with the hair that was covering her face and nodded. “Yes.”
“Master Lou wants you to send venison to the Shuiyun Courtyard Holiday Villa. We need it for tonight’s banquet.”
Song Wei felt that she owed Lou Junchen a favor, so she agreed to it. “Okay, I’ll go right away.”
Afraid that Lou Junchen would need the food in a hurry, Song Wei did not even change her clothes. She wore the clothes that were covered in mud and rushed to the villa with Qin Xiao in her slippers.
When they reached the entrance of the holiday villa, there were top-class luxury cars everywhere. The holiday villa was filled with laughter. Song Wei looked at the driver who was leading the way and asked, “Is there an event here today?”
“Old Master Lou’s 80th birthday is being held inside. Master Lou asked you to send some venison over to let him have a taste.”
Song Wei nodded. “Then park the car near the kitchen. I’ll send the venison directly to the kitchen.”
The Shuiyun Courtyard Holiday Villa occupied a large area. The car traveled quite a distance before it was stopped inside. The man in black directed Song Wei. “There are only small roads ahead, so the car can’t enter. Follow me.”
Qin Xiao acted as an invisible tool, carrying a large box of venison and following behind Song Wei.
On both sides of the small road were lush trees that blocked the hot sunlight, bringing a hint of coolness in the midsummer. As the three of them walked deeper, the laughter got louder. Finally, Song Wei was brought to the side of a small lake. The surroundings were bustling with people. On the green lawn were more than a dozen white round tables. The tabletops were covered with exquisite tablecloths, and on the round tables were vases and hydrangeas. They were very beautiful.
The men were in suits and leather shoes, while the women were wearing custom-made gowns. They made the banquet look more beautiful. Everyone here exuded a noble and elegant glow.
Song Wei, who was still covered in mud, did not fit in with everything here.
