Chapter 774 Not from the same batch
I paused and stopped pushing the door open. I couldn't hear what they said because of the door, but I could see it clearly.
Lu Yuanqing looked around and saw that there was no one around. He smiled very gently, and that expression made me feel that it came from the heart. He even reached out and rubbed Si Kouting's hair.
His acting is damn good! With that kind of acting, any girl would think she is the most special one.
When did they get together?
Although the police investigation has not yet produced any results, I have already determined that Lu Yuanqing is not a good person. Si Kouting has coveted my son Xiao, but she has not done anything bad after all. It would be too tragic if she was deceived into taking her abroad to be dismantled and sold for parts.
Lu Yuanqing met her so secretly, probably because he was afraid that others would see them together.
This scumbag is definitely a Poseidon. He hooks up with women everywhere and pretends to be single to the outside world.
Si Kouting and I have no friendship, so naturally I won't remind her. However, she used to be Xiao Shiqiu's assistant. Although she was transferred away, I should still have some friendship with her.
Especially since the person she was dating was Lu Yuanqing, a guy who the police were paying close attention to.
After they left, I sat back in my seat. The party was already coming to an end, and my cousin came over with her husband. "Mengmeng, I see you've been so busy today that you didn't even bother to come and talk to me."
At this time, Xiao Shiqiu's cell phone rang, and the screen showed that it was Xiao Yang calling.
He raised his phone towards me and said, "I'm going to answer a call. Let your cousin sit here and talk to you."
"Okay~" This call came at the perfect time. Otherwise, it would have been awkward for her to stand while I sat.
"Mengmeng, tell me the truth. How old is Xiaoxiao? He already has such a big daughter. Isn't he born in the Year of the Horse?"
It was only when my cousin saw Xiao Tiantian today that she realized that Xiao Shiqiu's zodiac sign of "horse" was not from the same batch as hers.
I thought it was a little funny, so I forced myself to say, "He's a horse, sure, but he's a lot older than you."
"Ah? So he really is that old. No wonder my daughter, oh, should I say, my niece is that old now.
By the way, the girl who ran away just now was his niece, right?
Alas, that child is quite pitiful when I think about it. I don’t know who is so mean to do such a thing at your engagement party. That girl must find it unacceptable, alas~”
I suddenly realized that my cousin is very kind, too kind. How come she didn’t guess who was going to do this?
I was helpless, "Sister, have you ever thought that she was the one who did this?"
Her eyes widened. "Ah? Is she that bad? She deserves it! It must be her mother who taught her bad things!"
The change of attitude was quite quick. After chatting for a while, Xiao Shiqiu came back. Somehow, there was a red mark on his neck, as if he had been scratched by something. The collar of his suit was a little wrinkled, and a button on the collar of his shirt was missing.
Are you going to fight with someone?
There were a lot of people around, so I didn't dare to ask too many questions and just pretended not to see them.
Seeing Xiao Shiqiu coming back, the cousin hurriedly stood up to give her seat to Xiao Shiqiu, but Xiao Shiqiu stopped her, "It's okay, you sisters can chat for a while, I'll go to the door to see you off."
The guests had already started to leave, and my cousin was too embarrassed to hold me over to chat: "Mengmeng, you should come along and see the guests off. It's not appropriate to let Xiao and my brother-in-law do it alone.
By the way, don’t be soft-hearted. You don’t have to be a stepmother anymore, which is great.”
I was a little amused and helpless. As soon as I stood up and turned around, I saw my parents, my uncle's family, and my grandmother coming towards me.
Grandma and my cousin couldn't be together, so they were deliberately arranged in the east and west respectively. There were so many people in the banquet hall, and I thought they wouldn't see each other.
Unexpectedly, they met at this moment.
I was afraid that they would start arguing here, so I quickly pulled my cousin away.
Unexpectedly, when grandma saw my cousin, her eyes immediately turned red with anger, and she stretched out her hand to start scolding as usual. My father was quick-witted and saw that the situation was not good, so he pulled his mother over, covered her mouth with his hand, and used his eyes to signal us to leave quickly.
My cousin wasn't afraid of her, but she couldn't bring herself to argue with the old lady at my engagement party, so she just glared at her. I quickly pulled my cousin towards the door, and I could still hear grandma's struggling sound behind us.
My cousin curled her lips and muttered angrily, "This old woman is really lucky..."
I quickly smiled and comforted her, "You taking her house and savings will do much more harm than putting her in jail."
As we were talking, we walked to the door of the hall, where Xiao Shiqiu was chatting with several political bigwigs.
Seeing me coming over, he naturally put his arm around my waist and introduced me one by one: "This is Grandpa Huang, this is Grandpa Li, and this is Grandpa Wu. The three of them are my grandfather's old comrades-in-arms."
I greeted them one by one politely and was about to say a few pleasantries when I heard a commotion behind me. I turned around and saw that my grandmother had somehow broken free from my father's hand and was trotting towards me angrily.
Xiao Shiqiu also saw it and took a step forward calmly, "Three old men, I will see you out."
Those old men were all smart people. Although they didn't know what happened, they pretended not to see it and still walked out with a smile.
"You heartless, money-losing bastard!" Grandma rushed over and pointed at my cousin, cursing, "I should have thrown you into the piss bucket and drowned you! I raised you, and you actually dared to make your parents and brother sit... Ugh~~"
My father rushed over and covered grandma's mouth again, making the guests around him laugh awkwardly. "Grandma, you've had too much to drink. Sorry for disturbing everyone."
Grandma's mouth was covered, but she was still swearing incoherently, which attracted the attention of many guests.
Xiao Shiqiu made a prompt decision and instructed the staff beside him, "Send the old lady to the lounge and prepare some soothing tea to sober her up."
Wow, whose sobering tea is this one?
I didn't bother to figure out what he was planning to give the old lady to drink; all I wanted was for her to stop causing trouble.
When most of the people had left, I whispered to Xiao Shiqiu, "What did Xiao Yang want to talk to you about just now? I saw that you didn't look very well."
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Xiao Yang told me that he found the person who changed the video."
