Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s-Chapter 816 - 814, Chinese New Year’s Eve Dinner (Part 2)

Luo Zheng felt someone watching him and when he looked up, he saw Ling Tianyu smiling at him. Right now, he was looking forward to a fight with Ling Tianyu when they got back to school. Just last night, his strength had increased significantly, and after drinking "One Drunken Morning" today, he felt an almost imperceptible flow of energy in his body.

Ling Tianyu, with a wicked smile, lifted his glass from the table and gestured towards Luo Zheng. Tonight, his challenge was aimed at Lu Hanmo. As for Luo Zheng, he didn’t even take him seriously. When he said that he wanted to challenge Luo Zheng before, it was just teasing. Of course, if Luo Zheng was willing to accept the challenge, then he would be up for a little fun.

Seeing this, Luo Zheng also reached for the wine glass in front of him and raised it towards Ling Tianyu.

After taking a sip of the wine, Luo Zheng slightly frowned. He found that after having "One Drunken Morning," this liquor was barely palatable.

Looking at Mo Shaoze and Lu Zhengyang, he noticed that they had a similar reaction.

The classmates next to Ling Tianyu, upon seeing him raise his glass and then looking at Luo Zheng, were somewhat surprised.

"Isn’t that Luo Zheng? What’s he doing here?"

"You forgot, his brother-in-law is Lu Hanmo, and Lu Hanmo’s current position is the Commander of the Jiangzhou Guard District."

"That guy’s life is really good! I wish I had a brother-in-law who is a Commander too."

"It should be said that Luo Zheng’s sister is the lucky one, marrying Lu Hanmo," everyone joked, their tone full of envy and resentment. They were well aware of the difference between having connections and not.

Ling Tianyu sipped his wine, with a dismissive smile on his lips. The lucky one should be Lu Hanmo, who by marrying Luo Shu, elevated the Lu family’s status even further.

The Lunar New Year’s Eve dinner ended in a cheerful atmosphere, with everyone feeling fully satisfied. Such fine food and drink were usually beyond their wildest dreams.

"What a waste to throw these away, I’ll take them home," a Guard’s Wife said, her eyes gleaming as she looked at the leftover dishes on the table and took out a bag she had prepared earlier. Even leftovers were a treat compared to what they usually had at home.

"Don’t do such a disgraceful thing, let’s go to the conference hall and watch the performance," her husband said displeased.

"How is that disgraceful? Look, aren’t the other Guard’s Wives packing up too?" the Guard’s Wife said while packing. She hurried, fearing there wouldn’t be much left if she was too slow.

Her husband looked up and indeed saw many Guard’s Wives with bags, dumping food into them.

A Guard’s Wife approached the table where Luo Shu and the others were seated, and asked timidly, "May I take these dishes to pack up?" With so many tables, this one was almost untouched. She had her eye on it for a while but hesitated because of the status of Lu Hanmo and the others. Now that the Commander and his wife, as well as Lu Hanmo’s parents, had already left and Lu Hanmo and the others had stood up, she mustered the courage to come forward. If she hesitated any longer, the food would be taken by other Guard’s Wives.

"Help yourself!" Luo Shu replied. They, of course, had no interest in taking leftovers.

"Thank you, Sister-in-law Lu, then I won’t be polite," the Guard’s Wife hurriedly scooped the dishes into her bag.

The surrounding Guard’s Wives looked on with envy. If only they had stepped up sooner.

The crowd moved to the conference hall, which was already beginning preparations for the event.

Upon reaching the front row, they saw Bai Tinggu and his wife having a pleasant conversation with Lu Zhengyang and his wife.

"Please sit, the performance is about to begin," Zhu Huizhen called to the others. Originally, if she wasn’t attending the Guard District event this year, she planned to stay home and watch the New Year’s Gala, which was happening for the first time this year. She heard that a celebrity she liked was also going to make an appearance. But watching a live performance now was also quite exciting.

Everyone settled into their seats, and soon after, music filled the venue.

Two beautiful young women walked onto the stage, one in a red down jacket spoke first: "Respected leaders, honorable Guard Members, dear Guard’s Wives, good evening! We, the 277th Performance Team, are honored to perform for you all today!"

"Clap, clap, clap!" Warm applause erupted.

"This performance team’s members are so pretty, their looks, their figures, are just eye-catching."

"Isn’t it? Unlike us Guard’s Wives, cooking and taking care of kids at home all day, look at my belly, like I’m five or six months pregnant."

"What’s the use of envy? We don’t have that kind of destiny."

"It’s starting now, wow! These girls’ outfits are really beautiful."

On stage, a group of young girls in emerald dance costumes danced gracefully, their flexible bodies and enchanting dance moves like butterflies fluttering through flowers, mesmerizing the audience.

"Luo Shu, last time when the performance team went to the Northwest Guard District for a morale-boosting performance, didn’t you organize a fashion show? I heard that you left the performance team’s members utterly convinced in defeat," Shen Anning asked with interest.

Luo Shu smiled and nodded, "That was kind of thrown together last minute." Had it not been for the other party’s constant provocations, she wouldn’t have gone up against the performance team.

"Usually, those performance team members are very arrogant. After your setback, they were like defeated roosters. I heard they all want to challenge you again," Shen Anning laughed. She knew this because last time, a girl from their Guard District team felt unwell, went to the hospital for a check-up, and discussed this matter with a companion, which is how she found out.
