As the wedding was drawing to a close, Qi Mingyuan asked Qi Guangyao in a low voice with a worried look on his face:
"Where's your mom? She hasn't been seen all afternoon!"
After Qi Mingyuan calmed down and thought about it for a while, he immediately realized that there was something wrong with what Qu Jingyun said at the time. It was hard not to suspect that the photo incident was related to her.
But since the wedding was still going on and entertaining the guests was the most important thing, he didn't rush to confront her. Unexpectedly, Qu Jingyun gave up first and was not seen the whole afternoon.
The only thing that surprised him was that Qi Guangyao stayed by his side obediently. This made Qi Mingyuan, who had originally suspected him, a little shaken. Perhaps the child was just ignorant and wanted to stand up for his brother, so he said something he shouldn't have said.
Qi Guangyao replied according to what Qu Jingyun had instructed him:
"My mom said she had a headache and went to the hospital to see a doctor and get some medicine. Maybe she's still in the hospital."
Headache?
Qi Mingyuan's eyes were full of suspicion. He thought she was afraid of confronting him face to face, so she made an excuse to hide!
If Qu Jingyun really did this, then she is becoming more and more out of control and bolder!
Qi Mingyuan usually turned a blind eye to minor quarrels at home, but today, in such an important occasion, such shameful things happened, which would bring shame to his Qi family. He would never let this matter go easily.
As night fell, the guests gradually dispersed, and Xiefang Garden, which had been bustling all day, finally became quiet.
At the end of the corridor, separated from Fengxi Hall by a wall, there was a room with lights on.
Du Anping raised the corner of his mouth, walked leisurely through the corridor and opened the door. Sure enough, he saw Qu Jingyun sitting at the table waiting for him.
To his surprise, Qu Jingyun also ordered a table of food and wine, and when he saw him come in, he smiled and invited him to sit down and eat.
Du Anping immediately became suspicious. Every time Qu Jingyun met him in the past two years, he wanted to just throw down the money and leave. Why was he so kind today and even ordered a table of food to treat him?
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. There must be something strange about the food on the table!
Du Anping sat down with a forced smile, and raised his chin towards the table of food in front of him:
"Sister Yun, are you setting up a Hongmen Banquet for me, or a final feast?"
Qu Jingyun's face trembled when he heard this, and he forced a stiff smile from the corner of his mouth:
"Brother Du, you're kidding me again! Even if you gave me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare do anything to you!"
"It's all my fault for not being clear-headed lately. I've been overthinking a lot of things and causing some unpleasantness with you. Consider this table of wine and food my apology to Brother Du!"
Qu Jingyun's words sounded nice, but Du Anping had been dealing with her for more than ten years and had suffered a lot because of her nice words, so naturally he would not believe everything she said.
What's more, he came uninvited today, snatched her bracelet, and asked her for money.
Qu Jingyun must be hating him to death right now. It would be strange if she could have a change of heart at this moment.
Du Anping decided not to pick up his chopsticks and just wanted to take the money and leave:
"I don't deserve an apology from Deputy Commander Qu. No need for the food and drinks. Just give me the money, and we can be as harmonious as before."
Seeing that he was unwilling to pick up his chopsticks, Qu Jingyun's eyes flickered and he smiled:
"Brother Du, the food and wine at Xiefang Garden is unparalleled in Ning City. Since you're here, you should try it. It's much better than the small stir-fries at state-owned restaurants. It would be a shame not to eat from such a large table of food."
"Come, I'll pour a glass of wine for Brother Du. After he drinks this, he'll forget all the unpleasantness from the past. Let's continue our happy cooperation in the future!"
Seeing Qu Jingyun, contrary to his usual behavior, take the initiative to sit over and attentively pour white wine into the glass in front of him, he almost picked it up and fed it to his mouth -
Du Anping was almost certain that there was something wrong with the food and wine on the table.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes. He certainly knew that Qu Jingyun wanted to get rid of him, but he also calculated that Qu Jingyun had no choice but to let him ask her for money again and again.
Qu Jingyun is his "treasure pot" for making money in this life, how could he let go?
But before today, he really had no idea that Qu Jingyun was now so bold as to kill him.
Du Anping suddenly picked up the wine glass, put his arm around Qu Jingyun's shoulders, and said with a wicked smile:
"Okay, Sister Yun is pouring me some wine, how can I not give her face?"
"Since this is for a pleasant cooperation in the future, let's drink a toast today. Come, pour some for yourself too!"
Qu Jingyun's expression suddenly became unnatural. She moved but couldn't break free from Du Anping's arms. She could only force a smile and said:
"Brother Du, you know I can't drink, and I don't have any extra glasses..."
"It doesn't matter if you don't have a wine glass. Just pour it into the bowl. At worst, I can use the bowl and you can use the cup."
Du Anping waved his hand and placed a bowl in front of Qu Jingyun:
"fall."
Qu Jingyun hesitated to make a move and wanted to argue a few more times, but he heard Du Anping suddenly roar fiercely in his ear:
"I'll make you fall!"
She was so frightened that her whole body trembled violently. She looked up at Du Anping, but found that he was staring at her as if he wanted to eat her.
Qu Jingyun could only reach out to the wine bottle tremblingly and pour the wine into the bowl under Du Anping's intimidating gaze.
Du Anping kept his word. He put the wine glass in his hand into Qu Jingyun's hand, picked up the bowl himself, and completely ignored Qu Jingyun's ugly expression, and intertwined their arms.
He stared at Qu Jingyun's expression intently, and saw a complex mixture of nervousness, disgust, and fear in her eyes. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart -
With her limited skills, she wanted to imitate Pan Jinlian and murder her husband. She has already revealed countless clues!
Qu Jingyun's eyes were a little evasive, as if he didn't dare to look directly into Du Anping's eyes, but his eyes were staring at the edge of the bowl in his hand intentionally or unintentionally, while he held the wine glass in his hand a little far away, as if waiting for Du Anping to drink it all.
Du Anping saw through all her little thoughts and raised his hand as if to drink. Almost at the same time, the corners of Qu Jingyun's mouth curled up.
But the next second, Du Anping suddenly stopped and said to Qu Jingyun with "sincere and heartfelt feelings":
"Sister Yun, you know what? I don't regret rescuing you from the wall at the train station. In fact, I was planning to live a good life with you from the beginning."
"It's all fate. I lost my job, and now I have to ask you to follow me around and show off your smiles to those old perverts. You have no idea how heartbroken I am."
"Look, tonight is such a beautiful night, with delicious food and wine, and you, my beauty, by my side. Doesn't it feel like we can have a wedding night together?"
Qu Jingyun was terrified by his sudden "affection" and had to suppress the strong disgust that welled up in her heart. She smiled apologetically and said:
"I will always remember the great kindness that Brother Du has shown me, and I will never forget it in my lifetime."
"Just remember—"
Du Anping's expression suddenly changed, his whole face looked as ferocious as a devil. He suddenly raised his hand and poured all the wine in the bowl into Qu Jingyun's mouth.
