Hu Weibang exhibited extreme humility, even personally guiding Lu Xuan to his seat, arranging him in the honored guest position at the head of the table.
What drew the most attention was the woman Hu Weibang deliberately placed beside Lu Xuan.
This woman appeared to be about sixteen years old, wearing a light moon-white qipao embroidered with twin lotus flowers. The fabric was exquisite, the cut impeccable, perfectly outlining her stunning curves.
Her brows and eyes were picturesque, her skin fairer than snow, her apricot eyes and peach cheeks radiated a soft vulnerability, exactly the kind of Jiangnan beauty that the original Lu Xuan favored most.
Before Lu Xuan could inquire, Hu Weibang introduced her with a knowing smile in a tone all men understood: "Commander Lu, this is Miss Su Wan, a renowned talent of ours from Sanshui County, skilled in all arts, especially proficient with the pipa."
