Chapter 70 Poisoning
"Tan Man, what's wrong?"
Lin Jiaojiao also walked to the door of the club at this time. She had not recognized Xia Lili yet and thought she was the daughter of the president of some group.
Tan Man pointed at Xia Lili and said, "Jiaojiao, someone saw your Moments post and came uninvited."
Lin Jiaojiao stared at Xia Lili carefully, her tone filled with disbelief: "Xia Lili?"
Her eyes swept over the white pearl necklace on Xia Lili's neck and the fishtail dress she was wearing. It was a style she had never seen before, probably designed by some unknown designer.
I can only say that this unknown brand of fabric is quite good and has a nice texture. It seems that Xia Lili spent a lot of money to get into a wealthy family here.
"Tan Man, don't say such harsh words. Everyone who comes is a guest."
Lin Jiaojiao turned and looked at Xia Lili with a smile, "Lili, I'll call the planning team to see if we can still arrange a spot."
After that, she picked up her phone and walked aside to make a call.
Tan Man pursed her lips and said, "Jiaojiao, this woman obviously can't find a job. She came to your grandfather's birthday party to take advantage of him. She wants to hook up with a rich second-generation man and doesn't want to work hard herself."
——"Can you shake your brains out before you speak?"
Seeing the two of them singing the same tune, Xia Lili said, "I'm here to attend Old Lady Bai's birthday party."
Tan Manhe said as if she had heard something funny: "Mrs. Bai? Don't lie to me. Those who can attend Mrs. Bai's birthday party are all entrepreneurs with a net worth of tens of millions. When did you get involved with Shengtang Group?"
"I don't need to make connections like you do."
She looked Tan Man up and down and said, "A stinky loach that got a little bit of sea water really thinks it's seafood?"
Tan Man, who had always been Lin Jiaojiao's follower, was completely defeated: "You!"
Her face flushed red as she said, "I'm a hundred times better than a jobless vagrant like you!"
At this time, Lin Jiaojiao finished her call and walked over with a fake apology on her face: "I'm sorry, Lili, my grandfather's birthday party is not like the buffet you usually hold in ordinary hotels. The seats are all arranged."
"I'll transfer fifty yuan to you, and you can take a taxi back."
Lin Jiaojiao looked at the rectangular box in Xia Lili's hand and said, "Lili, this is a painting you drew yourself, right?"
She had a fake smile on her face and a look of disdain: "No need for gifts, I appreciate your kindness."
Tan Man sneered, "Who do you think you are? Grandpa Jiaojiao is not only a calligrapher but also a great painter. You'd better not show off your childish doodles."
Lin Jiaojiao's tone was filled with false concern: "I've transferred the taxi money to you. You should take a taxi earlier, it's hard to get a taxi here."
She did the same thing when she was in college, joining others in isolating Xia Lili.
"Are you done?" Xia Lili glanced up at Lin Jiaojiao and said lightly, "Loading."
Lin Jiaojiao couldn't believe her ears. The quiet and obscure girl in college actually talked back?
"Xia Lili——"
Lin Jiaojiao was about to get angry, but immediately fell silent after catching a glimpse of a figure.
Xia Lili followed her gaze and saw a high-profile and eye-catching red Ferrari LaFerrari parked at the entrance of the club.
A tall man in a deep V silk shirt got out of the car. His perfect figure looked like a model.
He threw the car keys to the parking guy and took off his sunglasses, revealing a face that looked very mixed-race.
The guests who were chatting in the club hall suddenly became noisy when they saw the newcomer.
"Is Mr. Pei, the designer, here today too?"
"Wasn't Pei Qinyue still on stage at Paris Fashion Week yesterday to give a thank-you speech? And today he's on a private jet back home?"
"Isn't the Pei family a major partner of Shengtang Group? They've recently promoted a lot of collaborative projects in fashion and beauty, so it's normal for Young Master Pei to come."
......
Tan Man gasped at the newcomer, "Is this Pei Qinyue, the top designer who has designed award-winning evening gowns for both Best Actress and Best Actor?"
Lin Jiaojiao's eyes were also fixed on Pei Qinyue. The bags designed by Pei Qinyue in collaboration with luxury brands were often out of stock, and she couldn't get one even if she saved her pocket money.
Xia Lili's gaze had already turned elsewhere. Anna was coming with the club's housekeeper, who was driving a mobility scooter.
Wow, that’s so thoughtful, otherwise her legs would have broken walking in such a big banquet hall.
Pei Qinyue walked into the club hall under the attention of everyone, but when he passed by Xia Lili, he stopped in front of her.
His peach blossom eyes slightly raised, his eyes sparkling with a smile: "This fishtail skirt looks more soulful on you than when it's displayed in the studio."
"It's very suitable."
Xia Lili was confused by the sudden praise from this stranger.
Someone around immediately understood, "Wow, this is the latest design by Designer Pei, and he's wearing it for the first time!"
"Whose daughter is this? Such a grand occasion."
Lin Jiaojiao and Tan Man, who were being used as background members, were so shocked that their pupils dilated and they stared at Xia Lili in disbelief.
A dress that even the celebrity team might not be able to borrow was worn by an unknown person like Xia Lili?
Xia Lili heard the discussion around her and realized that the handsome mixed-race man in front of her was the designer of the dress. She looked up at the handsome man who was almost 1.9 meters tall and said, "The dress you designed is really beautiful--"
Xia Lili was just about to say a few polite compliments when her eyes met the other person's amber eyes and her vision became blurred.
Xia Lili's heart skipped a beat. Could something happen to this great designer?
Hallucinations appear in the mind.
The great designer named Pei Qinyue attended Mrs. Bai's birthday party. He sat at the banquet table and ate slowly and leisurely.
This kind of high-end banquet usually adopts the separate dining system. The waiters serve the dishes to each seat. Each dish is served on a small plate and replaced after each meal.
The hallucination cuts to the next scene, where Pei Qinyue and his father toast to Old Mrs. Bai to wish her a happy birthday.
It was a lively scene, but Pei Qinyue took a sip of wine and suddenly fell to the ground while chatting and laughing with everyone.
Everyone was terrified, and the club quickly sent a doctor and even a helicopter.
The scene switches to outside the hospital's emergency room.
Pei Qinyue's father, Tang Mingqian, Old Lady Bai and others were waiting for the results outside the emergency room.
The lights in the operating room went out.
The doctor came out and shook his head at everyone: "The patient is suffering from cyanide poisoning."
"I'm sorry, we've tried our best."
Pei Qinyue died of his injuries.
Pei's father, at an old age, could not bear the blow of seeing his son die young, and fainted on the spot.
The only son of the Pei family died of poisoning at Mrs. Bai's birthday party. Pei's father took his anger out on Shengtang Group and canceled all cooperation projects.
The cooperation between Pei Group and Shengtang Group broke down, and Shengtang Group suffered a heavy blow.
Pei Group was not much better off, and the business conditions of both parties were deteriorating.
The illusion ended, and the world in Xia Lili's eyes gradually came into focus, and the blurred outlines became clear again.
This won’t do. Nothing can happen to Shengtang Group!
This is their whole family’s medical insurance!
Mr. Tang also promised to help my brother connect with the top ophthalmology team!
