Mo Xiaoqing followed Aunt Liu, went around several archways, and finally arrived at the huge restaurant.
She didn't quite understand. For her, a house is just a place to live, so it's fine as long as it's simple and comfortable.
But she looked up at the intricate and exquisite crystal lamps hanging from the ceiling of the living room, several priceless artworks hanging on the walls, and the solid wood European furniture, all of which showed luxury.
The restaurant was located on the right side of the living room. Without looking up, Mo Xiaoqing saw familiar police officers and Mr. Chen's family gathered in the living room.
And today, Li Tianfeng was wearing a white suit, which was particularly eye-catching in the crowd, standing out from the crowd.
Mo Xiaoqing was well dressed today. She wore a tight black dress that showed off her curvy figure and her fair and translucent oval face. Her appearance immediately attracted the attention of the people in the living room.
Mo Xiaoqing felt very awkward. She walked slowly and waved to greet people with a smile.
When she walked to the middle of the living room, the faces of those who were smiling at her suddenly changed, making Mo Xiaoqing confused.
She heard many people shouting at her, "Be careful!"
Before Mo Xiaoqing could react, she felt a loud bang above her head. She quickly raised her head and saw that the huge chandelier shook a few times and fell down.
Mo Xiaoqing was so frightened that she stood there stupidly, and even forgot to dodge.
At this moment, a white shadow flashed by, and while Mo Xiaoqing was still in a daze, she felt that she was being held and thrown out by a strong force.
"Bang."
The huge crystal lamp was smashed to pieces next to her, and the fragments flew everywhere, but these fragments did not hit her.
After Mo Xiaoqing came to her senses, she found that the white shadow that just flashed by was Li Tianfeng. He was now holding her in his arms with both hands to protect her from being stabbed by the fragments.
At this time, Mo Xiaoqing realized that their current actions were particularly ambiguous, and there were already many people around them. Mo Xiaoqing could feel a murderous look in the crowd that shocked her.
She looked up and her eyes met Xu Yao's. Mo Xiaoqing struggled to stand up from the ground, and Li Tianfeng beside her also stood up slowly.
Mo Xiaoqing was at a loss and said a few words of thanks. Sister Huang and Yu Manman also came over and greeted her with concern.
"Xiaoqing, you are not hurt, are you? It was really dangerous just now! If Professor Li hadn't rushed over, you would have been seriously injured."
Several servants in the villa were about to move the broken chandelier away, but were suddenly stopped by Xu Yao who rushed out,
"Don't move here."
Then, Xu Yao stood in front of the chandelier and observed it carefully, looking here and there, without saying a word.
Just like that, everyone in the living room followed Xu Yao in silence. After about three minutes, he stood up and clapped his hands,
"Okay, you can clean up now. It's nothing. It should be because of the strong wind last night that the iron chain fixing the chandelier rusted and broke."
At this time, Butler Zhang hurried over to clean up the mess, "I'm sorry, everyone. This is really my negligence. Officer Mo, are you injured? How about I call an ambulance right now?"
Mo Xiaoqing said quickly, "No... It's okay, I'm not injured. But my friend, Professor Li, may have a lot of lamp fragments pierced into his body in order to save me just now."
As she spoke, she looked at Li Tianfeng next to her, but she didn't expect Li Tianfeng to button his sleeves in the most elegant way and said calmly:
"Don't worry, I'm wearing thick clothes, so the broken glass didn't get into me."
At this time, the eldest daughter-in-law, who was dressed elegantly and hardworking, came over to take control of the situation. She called a few servants, quickly moved the chandelier in the living room, grabbed the broom herself, and bent down to sweep the broken glass into the trash can.
Inadvertently, her finger was pricked by the sharp crystal lamp. She frowned, pulled her hand back unconsciously, and cried out in pain from her red lips.
"Ah."
Suddenly, a man in a dark suit quickly walked in front of Huang Ming, his face full of worry, "Sister-in-law, are you hurt?
Someone, bring the first aid kit quickly."
Mo Xiaoqing looked up and immediately had doubts in her mind, because the man who rushed out was not Chen Xinyu, but Chen Xingfu, the third son of Mr. Chen.
Although they are a family, why is Tian Ju the daughter-in-law of Chen Xinyu's eldest brother, but he is more nervous than her husband. Is this kind of concern a bit too much?
Soon, the messy scene was cleaned up in an instant, and an unexpected storm came to an end.
Butler Chen led everyone directly into the restaurant, while Mo Xiaoqingqin was looking for Xu Yao in the crowd.
She tried to squeeze in next to Xu Yao, but when Mo Xiaoqing walked over, Xu Yao avoided her without leaving any trace, not even looking at her.
Mo Xiaoqing felt guilty in her heart, because the posture of the two of them falling together after she was rescued by Li Tianfeng was indeed too ambiguous.
She wanted to find a chance to explain to Xu Yao, but when everyone sat at the table, she realized that she had no chance at all, because Xu Yao chose to sit next to Lin Yalin.
There were no empty seats on either side of Lin Yalin. Although Li Tianfeng kept smiling at Mo Xiaoqing and invited her to sit with him, Mo Xiaoqing would never go.
Fortunately, there was an empty seat next to Liu Xiaobo's girlfriend Yu Manman. Mo Xiaoqing sat next to her with a depressed heart, and glanced at Xu Yao from time to time, but was disappointed that Xu Yao did not even look over.
It was almost seven o'clock now, and the children at another table were clamoring for dinner.
Butler Chen shouted, "Aunt Liu, go and call the second young master to come down for dinner."
"Butler Chen, I went to call him, and more than once, but no one answered the second young master's room." Aunt Liu replied.
When Mo Xiaoqing heard this, she suddenly recalled the moment when she ran into Chen Xinhua and was taken advantage of by him today, so she couldn't help but carefully observe the people at the table.
As expected, Chen Xinhua was not there, and Old Chen's fifth daughter was still absent.
Butler Chen ordered Aunt Liu to notify everyone again, and turned back to say apologetically: "I'm sorry, there was a little accident before dinner today. Everyone must be hungry. Let's start now. Mr. Chen is not feeling well and cannot accompany you. Officers, please forgive me."
Xu Yao quickly replied, "Butler Chen, please don't be so polite. Just be casual and don't treat us as VIPs."
So, dinner officially started.
