Chapter 72 Li Qihan's Friends
Old Mrs. Bai’s group of close friends hear her talk every day about how the whole family met the lucky star Xia Lili. Old people and businessmen are more or less superstitious, so who doesn’t like a lucky star?
"Xiao Yue, I'm here at the entrance of the Dragon Palace Hall, come here quickly!"
The old lady of the Pei family called her grandson Pei Qinyue in a hurry.
Old Mrs. Bai smiled like an auntie: "Lili, are you a fan of Xiaoyue? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"I'll also arrange some more activities for you to get familiar with."
Xia Lili quickly waved her hands: "No, no, you misunderstood. I just have some questions for Mr. Pei."
The old lady of the Pei family smiled even more brightly: "Don't be shy, we are all family here."
In less than three minutes, Pei Qinyue came over with his long legs. When he saw Xia Lili surrounded by the "elderly girlfriends group", a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Pei Qinyue saw Xia Lili and raised the corner of his lips, revealing a cynical smile: "It seems that I have the charm that makes people fall in love at first sight."
Xia Lili: I really want to call the police.
Oh, she's a police officer now.
Old Madam Pei took Pei Qinyue's hand and said, "Xiaobao, this is the lucky star that Old Madam Bai has been talking about, Comrade Xia Lili."
Pei Qinyue's smile froze on his face: "Grandma, didn't I tell you not to call me Xiaobao in front of outsiders?"
Xia Lili tried hard to hold back her smile, and she finally found a way to control this male vixen!
The old lady of the Pei family pushed him to Xia Lili's side and said, "Get to know Miss Xia better and enjoy her blessings."
Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "Take Lili around the venue first. This is her first time here, and she's not familiar with the situation here yet."
Pei Qinyue naturally followed the orders given by his elders.
Xia Lili was very happy to be able to follow the victim closely.
Xia Lili stood in front of the transparent floor-to-ceiling window watching the great shark, Pei Qinyue stood beside her, and their shadows were reflected on the glass, one tall and the other petite.
"Miss Xia, do you like this dress, or the person who designed it?"
Xia Lili speechlessly withdrew her hand that was poking the glass.
"Of course I like you, Brother Xiaobao." She turned around and smiled, "I think the name Xiaobao is quite intimate. It's as down-to-earth as Erniu and Goudan in our village."
Pei Qinyue's raised mouth corners immediately fell, "Don't mention this nickname!"
Xia Lili shrugged: "Then speak properly."
Pei Qinyue frowned slightly and rubbed his cuffs with his fingertips in annoyance.
It was the first time that a woman looked at him with such lack of interest, as if she was looking at a cabbage.
I guess the big shark outside the glass attracted more of her attention than herself.
At this time, a waiter came to Xia Lili with a tray in his hand. On the tray was a pair of exquisite white satin lace ladies' gloves and a gift box.
"Miss Xia, Mr. Ling asked me to bring this to you."
Xia Lili was surprised and confused: "Mr. Ling?"
The waiter turned around and said, "That's the one sitting on the sofa."
Xia Lili followed the waiter's gaze and caught a glimpse of a man with a business elite style sitting on the sofa, talking to the person opposite him.
I don’t know this either.
At this moment, the phone in her hand vibrated. Xia Lili saw that it was a message from Li Qihan:
"Put on your gloves."
"Cyanide can penetrate the skin, be careful."
Xia Lili was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that Li Qihan was so resourceful that he could send her protective gloves in this way.
That Mr. Ling is probably Li Qihan’s friend.
Xia Lili put on gloves quickly.
She then looked at the gift box.
Li Qihan sent the next message: "The box contains the test reagent. Spray it on something. If there is cyanide, orange-red spots will appear."
Xia Lili opened the rectangular box, which contained a bottle of beautifully shaped "perfume".
This disguise is amazing!
——"Do you know Ling Yanchuan from Lingfeng Investment Group?"
Pei Qinyue's tone was a little surprised. He had no idea how the girl in front of him was connected to Ling Yanchuan, who had a Beijing background.
Xia Lili looked up in confusion, feeling that the name Ling Yanchuan seemed familiar.
She had an excellent memory and recalled that the last time Li Qihan went to the Bitian Villa concert to investigate a case, he used Ling Yanchuan's business card.
It turns out there really is such a person.
Xia Lili replied perfunctorily: "I guess we know each other."
Pei Qinyue's eyes fell on her gloves. "What's your taste? These gloves don't look good with the dress I designed."
Xia Lili chuckled: "My hands are cold, what's wrong?"
Feeling the thick rubber material inside the gloves, Xia Lili immediately felt at ease.
When it was time for the guests to take their seats, Pei Qinyue and Xia Lili sat down at the main table.
The old lady of the Pei family smiled and said, "Lili, just sit with Xiaobao."
"Okay~" Xia Lili was just hoping for that. Now she could carefully check everything in front of Pei Qinyue.
Pei Qinyue glanced at the sincere smile on Xia Lili's face and became even more suspicious.
Why did this girl approach him? Did she have something to ask of him?
Tang Mingqian came with his wife Qin Songxue.
Qin Songxue had a kind and gentle appearance. When she saw Xia Lili, she shook her hand with gratitude and said, "Lili, I just recovered from my illness. I've been busy with a lot of things at the company lately, so I haven't had time to meet you formally. Thank you."
Xia Lili shook her head: "It's okay, Mr. Tang has already thanked me, and he has helped me a lot."
Qin Songxue said softly, "Please stay for a while after the banquet. We have something to discuss with you."
Tang Mingqian and Old Mrs. Bai also looked at her with a smile.
"good."
Xia Lili nodded, feeling anticipation rising in her heart. Could it be that she had contacted the medical project team that was researching her brother's rare eye disease?
The nanny was holding Tang Mingqian and his wife's daughter Chu Qing. The little girl smiled as soon as she saw Xia Lili.
Qin Songxue smiled gently: "This child knows that you are her savior."
Xia Lili entertained the child for a while.
Pei Qinyue was left aside again. Xia Lili's hot and cold attitude made him a little irritated.
The guests took their seats one by one. Even Pei Qinyue's father, Pei Yong, chairman of the Pei Group, shook hands with Xia Lili and greeted her after learning that Xia Lili was the noble person Tang Mingqian had mentioned.
As the waiters began to serve pre-dinner fruits to the guests, Xia Lili entered a state of 100% alert.
The waiter brought Pei Qinyue several appetizers one after another, just as he was placing the knife and fork.
Suddenly, two children appeared out of nowhere, laughing, chasing and playing all the way, and bumped into the waiter.
With a "clang", the fork that the waiter was about to give to Pei Qinyue fell to the ground.
Many people looked over.
"Sorry, sir!" The waiter hurriedly bowed and apologized in a panic tone.
