Chapter 1192: Matching Dresses, A Real Face-Slap 4

The reason why Lu Changcheng, as the chairman of Lu Corporation, is merely considered relatively important,

is because everyone present knows that although Lu Changcheng holds the title of chairman, he has no real power.

Everyone knows that the real power of Lu Corporation lies with Lu Hualiang.

The father-son relationship within the Lu Family is strained, and few know the reason.

After all, those were matters from over twenty years ago.

Over twenty years ago, the Lu Family hadn’t reached its current size; it was just an ordinary affluent family that few paid attention to.

Later, Lu Hualiang rose to power and single-handedly took Lu Corporation to the top position in Huaxia, drawing more attention to himself.

Under his aura, the Lu Family seemed somewhat overshadowed.

Moreover, few present were influential figures twenty years ago.

If someone has remained resilient in the business world for over twenty years without falling, they could be considered legendary characters, and such individuals typically don’t come too early.

Thus, the matters of the Lu Family, in the eyes of these people, can be said to be a secret history.

Buried under twenty years of time, few people know that Xu Qiurong rose to status as a mistress, instead believing she was Lu Hualiang’s mother who had passed away, leading to Lu Changcheng’s remarriage.

Xu Qiurong held onto Lu Changcheng’s arm, smiling gracefully and accepting the crowd’s flattery.

She greatly enjoys the feeling of being complimented, as if she was born to belong to the upper class, and this sense of honor fascinates her.

Xu Qiurong is actually very beautiful; otherwise, she wouldn’t have charmed Lu Changcheng so intensely back then.

Over the years, she has maintained herself very well, with the wealth of the Lu Family and ladies focusing especially on skin care, particularly because she rose as a mistress without any background. Her leverage to retain Lu Changcheng, besides her son, is her looks.

And her self-care is indeed successful; although she’s in her forties, she doesn’t appear aged at all, and her figure is impeccable, showing no signs of having given birth.

Having steeped herself in the social circles of high society over the years, she knows how to use designer brands to package herself, and her appearances at banquets, designed by famous stylists each time, always cause a sensation.

Tonight, her look is also unique, exuding elegance and poise.

However, it hasn’t attracted the imagined admiration.

Xu Qiurong is somewhat puzzled; she’s very satisfied with tonight’s look, and her gown was an expensive custom-made piece from a famous Italian designer’s hand, part of their black series.

She was amazed the moment she put it on and thought she would steal the limelight tonight.

Why is everyone reacting indifferently?

While still wondering, she suddenly saw Lu Huashan and Xia Weibao sitting side by side on the sofa in the lounge area.

Xu Qiurong suddenly caught her breath, realizing they were in matching outfits...

No wonder no one praised her look; it turned out Lu Huashan was also wearing a gown from the same series tonight!

Both black gowns were crafted by the same designer, making them sister outfits.

The only difference was that the slanted shoulder of Lu Huashan’s gown bore a purple rose, while hers had a large cluster of feathers.

Originally meant to be an eye-catching lush peacock tail, the comparison instantly diminished it to a rooster tail.

Clearly, many people had noticed her and Lu Huashan’s outfits and began whispering.

Without comparison, there is no harm...

Firstly, in terms of age, Xu Qiurong is almost twice the age of Lu Huashan, which isn’t even comparable.

Furthermore, when it comes to face and figure, no matter how well-maintained she is at forty-plus years of age, having given birth, she couldn’t possibly compare to Lu Huashan, who is in her twenties at the peak of youth.
