Why are you all trying to win over me, the male supporting character?

What time is it? Hurry up and come over to pay your respects to his father-in-law!

……

On Lu Chengzhou's side.

He just walked around this building in the manor.

If the crisis warning did not materialize, it means the danger has been averted.

However, as he stepped into the banquet hall, that sense of crisis immediately rose again.

what happened?

Miss Yan has already been detained by him, and bodyguards have been added to the door. Why is there still danger that has not been eliminated?

Lu Chengzhou's gaze darkened.

My heart, which had just settled down, is now on edge again.

"It's getting late, I can't wander around any longer, I need to get to them quickly."

Lu Chengzhou quickened his pace.

After crossing the last door, you officially enter the hall.

The hall was filled with nobles dressed in fine clothes.

Lu Chengzhou's outfit was so casual that it seemed somewhat out of place.

"Oh no, I forgot to change into the outfit that Meng Wanyu bought for me."

Lu Chengzhou rubbed his forehead and sighed helplessly.

It's too late to go and exchange it now.

We're about to cut the cake.

He could only make do with this simple outfit and walk into the crowd.

"Hey, that looks like the son-in-law of the Meng family."

"Are you kidding me? Wearing clothes from a street stall!"

"Meng Yong is a proud man. If he sees him coming over dressed like this, he'll definitely turn on him on the spot."

"I don't know whether to say this young man is really brave or that he is ignorant."

Some of these whispers reached Lu Chengzhou's ears.

However, he didn't care.

He had already learned from Sister Meng that Master Meng's greatest hobby in his life was drinking.

Those two jars of wine would definitely be enough to successfully bribe him.

Even if he had come dressed in cheap clothes from a street stall, or even dressed as a clown, I doubt Master Meng would have made things difficult for him.

Soon, Lu Chengzhou walked up to the Meng family.

Master Meng looked him over and frowned slightly.

"Lu Chengzhou, why did you come dressed like that?"

Lu Chengzhou said calmly, "I just came out of the wine cellar and didn't have time to change my clothes. Please forgive me."

In fact, he hadn't been to the wine cellar yet today.

It's just a convenient excuse.

as predicted.

Upon hearing this excuse, Master Meng's furrowed brows relaxed.

"Oh! It's definitely not appropriate to dress too nicely for a place like a wine cellar."

As he said this, he patted Lu Chengzhou on the shoulder.

There was a hint of relief in his smile.

"This wine is quite good. Is it from your winery?"

Lu Chengzhou nodded.

A shrewd glint flashed in Boss Meng's eyes.

"Then tell me, how did you manage to recreate the flavor of a 30-year-old vintage in such a short time?"

"Mr. Meng, this is a trade secret."

Lu Chengzhou couldn't very well tell him that this was a skill enhancement from the system.

The system's secrets, of course, must be preserved forever.

Unfortunately, Boss Meng had no intention of letting this secret go so easily.

If the wine was indeed made by Lu Chengzhou, then this secret will completely overturn the traditional brewing industry!

At that time, the Meng family's position will be even more unshakeable.

"Can't you even tell me about our relationship?" Boss Meng's words carried a hint of threat.

Lu Chengzhou is a wild kid.

He cannot be tied down by any woman.

Even his two beautiful daughters probably wouldn't work.

Driven by a fervent passion for secrecy, Boss Meng was eager to know it!

You only feel safe when you have something in your own hands.

Lu Chengzhou clearly sensed the unspoken meaning behind Master Meng's words.

He smiled but didn't say anything.

Master Meng's gaze toward him gradually turned hostile.

Just then, Meng Wanyu suddenly spoke up, saying, "Dad, you're not trying to steal your daughter's things, are you?"

Meng Yong: "..."

That spendthrift daughter!

Why do you like to side with outsiders so much?

What's infuriating is that, of all times, Meng Jingting also got involved.

"Dad, that's their trade secret. It's really inappropriate for you to just take it for free."

Meng Yong: "..."

Okay, so both of them were raised for nothing.

Speaking of which, could it be that my father's wolf-raising parenting methods were wrong?

These two girls have both grown into real wolves.

But being a doting father to his daughters, he couldn't bring himself to actually discipline them harshly.

"Oh dear, you two, you're exaggerating."

Without batting an eye, Boss Meng slowly said, "Why would I really want Xiao Lu's trade secrets?"

As he spoke, he gave Lu Chengzhou a wink.

Hopefully, Lu Chengzhou will be sensible enough to smooth things over for him.

Lu Chengzhou: "..."

What should he say?

Just as the situation was at a stalemate, a sound of shattering glass suddenly came from the outdoor terrace.

Lu Chengzhou rushed over immediately.

Looking up, I saw that the huge light bulb had exploded.

The ground was covered with shiny shards of glass.

The panicked guests were pushing and shoving each other.

The scene was extremely chaotic at one point.

"Something bad has happened."

Lu Chengzhou's heart skipped a beat.

He instinctively felt that this was a premeditated accident!

However, he could not see the person who created the danger.

Just then, someone in the crowd quietly took out a super high-wattage flashlight and turned it on.

The illuminated area sparkled everywhere.

The pushing and shoving among the crowd was finally stopped.

At this moment, Lu Chengzhou's premonition of danger completely disappeared.

Looking at the girl in the trench coat, Lu Chengzhou felt a slight stirring in his heart.

Is it Jiang Aiyu?

She saved me.

But is she on the list of invitees?

Her father, Jiang Heng, is no longer in Yicheng's celebrity circle, and she is an unknown rich and beautiful woman. Meng Yong shouldn't invite her, right?

……

Half an hour later.

The broken glass on the ground has been cleaned up, and new lights have been installed.

Jiang Aiyu was invited to the main hall to participate in a more upscale banquet.

The recent incident left many guests feeling uneasy.
