Chapter 158 Little Detective Comes to Play
Jiang Xia felt a little embarrassed after hearing this: "It's not easy to refuse a client's invitation."
Suzuki Sonoko looked heartbroken.
...But she thought, no matter what, it's a good thing to be ambitious.
At worst, I could go and watch to prevent Si Jing Lihua from using her status as an employer to bully Jiang Xia and make any shameless and excessive demands.
Jiang Xia secretly observed Suzuki Sonoko and felt that she suddenly became very motivated.
Although the script was completely different from what he expected, and he always felt that something was odd...but never mind, as long as someone was going with him.
…
It was the day of Shijing Lihua’s birthday party.
Jiang Xia arrived at the door of the detective agency and saw the car sent by the Shijing family.
Jiang Xia was not surprised by this: the specially made invitation said that a car would be sent to pick him up.
But what Jiang Xia didn't expect was that Shijing Lihua herself was also sitting in the car.
She sat in the back row, raised her chin and pointed at the seat next to her, indicating Jiang Xia to sit there.
Jiang Xia opened the car door with a click.
Before I could sit down, three people suddenly jumped out from the side.
——Suzuki Sonoko, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed to the car with Conan in her arms and Ran Mouri in her drag. She got in before Jiang Xia and sat next to Yoshii Rika.
Suzuki Sonoko took out an invitation letter and waved it, her face full of pride: "Thanks for the invitation - do you mind if I give you a ride?"
Of course her family also received an invitation, but she had not planned to go before.
However, after finding out that Jiang Xia would go to the appointment, Suzuki Sonoko changed her mind.
…
Beside her, Mao Lilan smiled sheepishly and followed in. Suddenly, the only empty seat was the passenger seat.
Sijing Lihua watched Jiang Xia sit in the front row and her eyes twitched.
She turned her head and glanced at Suzuki Sonoko who had intruded into the situation. Her anger began to soar - it was a good plan to liven up the atmosphere, but who knew such a thing would pop up halfway through.
But no matter how angry she was, Shijing Lihua was already an adult wearing a hypocritical mask, and she knew what was important and what was not. She would only vent her temper on those who were not as powerful as her.
Now, if she were to confront the daughter of the chairman of the Suzuki Group...
In the end, Sijing Lihua could only turn away angrily and comfort herself in her heart: Forget it, she is just a high school girl, why bother with her.
She looked at the driver and said in a bad tone: "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
The driver responded hastily and started to leave.
Next to her, Suzuki Sonoko secretly made a victory "V" sign to Mouri Ran, and at the same time poked Conan, trying to instigate the naughty kid to make trouble for Yotsuga Rika.
Conan pretended not to see it. He sat down quietly and adjusted his earmuffs.
…
In the evening, the banquet began.
Jiang Xia came prepared this time and brought a lot of business cards. He walked around the crowd and brought back more business cards.
Jiang Xia's mood kept increasing +1+1+1, and he carefully put away these spare cards for picking up ghosts.
In the middle of the banquet hall, a large circle of people gathered around Sijing Lihua, all of them were young talents - Sijing Lihua suddenly said just now that she held this banquet not only to celebrate her birthday, but more importantly to "find a suitable husband".
Most people who came to the party knew that Sijing Lihua was not impatient to manage the company and did not have the talent. In other words, whoever married her would be marrying the entire Sijing Group. Therefore, a group of people were particularly attentive.
…
Sijing Lihua held a glass of red wine and looked proudly at the men around her. Then, her eyes passed through the crowd and fell on Jiang Xia who was counting business cards not far away.
After just two seconds of watching, two high school girls with children suddenly appeared in her field of vision. The three of them stood right between Jiang Xia and Sijing Lihua, blocking most of her view.
Sijing Lihua snorted and looked away in boredom.
To be fair, she still prefers Jiang Xia's type compared to the group of "young talents" around her who have obvious goals and are too serious.
If possible, I really want to bring Jiang Xia here to marry into my family... But unfortunately, even the chairman of Sijing doesn't know that her marriage has already been decided.
Thinking of this, Shijing Lihua's face gradually became gloomy.
The change in her expression was very obvious, but the group of "young talents" closest to Shijing Lihua who could see her expression clearly were actually her acquaintances. They had long been accustomed to the moody temper of this young lady, so they didn't pay much attention and continued to promote themselves enthusiastically.
…
The banquet soon came to an end and the guests left with great satisfaction.
The guests left one after another, and Shii Lihua also planned to leave.
But at this moment, the driver rushed in: "Miss! Your tire has been punctured!"
A group of young talents: "!"
They immediately rushed over and scrambled to say, "Let's go back in my car!"
But just as he finished speaking, he heard the driver cautiously say, "Your cars also have punctured tires."
Young talents: "..."
Chairman Sijing sighed, "I'm so sorry, I didn't expect this to happen. Why don't you share a car with the other guests?"
Sijing Lihua was already in a bad mood. When she heard this, she immediately became furious: "It's just for my birthday, and I have to share a car with others? I won't! I will stay here with Granny Mi for one night. You can send a car to pick me up tomorrow morning."
“…”
Chairman Sijing couldn't persuade her and agreed to this request.
When the other young talents whose cars broke down heard this, their eyes lit up: "It's too unsafe for you to be alone here. I'll stay with you!"
"I'll stay too!"
"And me!"
Si Jing Lihua was surrounded by them and entered the villa, proud like a princess.
“…”
In the yard, Suzuki Sonoko silently watched the group of people and muttered in a low voice: "A dog licking in the end will have nothing."
As she spoke, she was about to call her own driver and ask them to pick her up.
But this villa is located in a remote area and there is no signal.
Suzuki Sonoko could only put down her phone, sighed, and looked at her friends: "Let's go and borrow her phone."
