Chapter 68 Engagement Banquet Incident!!
Li Xiaoyao carried the stinky tofu to the small table next to him, sat down on the sofa, and opened the box.
He frowned slightly, but still picked up a piece and took a bite.
“This is the authentic taste.”
After taking a few big bites, the flavor drifted towards Fu Sinian with a bold and overbearing momentum.
He frowned and looked over, staring at the things in the box.
Li Xiaoyao's heart skipped a beat, and he inexplicably felt that his young master would come over and snatch the stinky tofu from his hand.
He ate faster.
If you don’t eat it, you might not have the chance next time.
Fu Sinian was always picky and extremely sensitive to the smell of food. For example, the last time he ate hot and sour noodles, it was so pungent that it got on him, so Fu Sinian ordered him to take a shower.
From then on, he dared not touch anything with such a strong smell.
Today is a rare opportunity.
He even ate up all the soup.
Fu Sinian's eyes looked at him even more deeply.
Li Xiaoyao quickly wiped his mouth with a tissue before speaking, "Miss Gu has been investigating Zhao Niesen's company. Also, Miss Nan went into the hotel earlier and hacked into Zhao Niesen's laptop. She gave the USB drive to Miss Gu, and the contents are probably quite shocking."
He paused, then added, "As for our investigation into Miss Gu's past, there have been some clues from her father's side recently."
Li Xiaoyao stood up and handed a document to Fu Sinian. "Also, we found out that the 20 million that Miss Gu received back then was actually used to give to her uncle and aunt."
So what she said in the hospital was true, her uncle and aunt were vampires.
"What happened next..." Li Xiaoyao looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Fu Sinian raised his eyes and said, "Speak."
Li Xiaoyao glanced in the direction of the second floor and whispered, "It might be related to Madam. But when our people tried to find this line, it was always cut off. Later we found out that it was the eldest young master who stopped us from investigating further."
Is it related to his mother?
Fu Sinian's fingertips gripping the document suddenly tightened, creating deeper wrinkles on the edge of the paper. He lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes casting a shadow under his eyes, hiding the surging emotions in his eyes, revealing only his tightly pursed thin lips, the lip line stretched straight, with a bit of coldness and hardness.
After a moment, he tapped the table twice with his knuckles. His voice was not loud, but it was filled with unquestionable coldness: "Got it."
——
The days passed in silence.
Early in the morning on January 15th, Gu Xiangsi was awakened by the ringing of her cell phone.
The moment she saw the caller ID, Gu Xiangsi was stunned. Why would she call her?
When I picked up the phone, the voice on the other end was still that familiar, arrogant voice: "Gu Xiangsi, tonight is my engagement party. For the sake of our college classmates, I'm making an exception and letting you attend."
The tone was so bright that it pierced the ears.
Gu Xiangsi was in a trance and thought she was having a nightmare.
"Can I choose not to go?" She didn't want to spoil him. "I'm not that familiar with you. I can save some money by not going."
"You..." The other party choked for a moment, then said fiercely, "Anyway, you have to come! Otherwise, like that idiot Qin Shiwei, do you believe I will kill her tonight?"
"Okay, I'll do it." Gu Xiangsi agreed, wanting to see what this Hongmen Banquet was all about.
After hanging up the phone, a message popped up in the group of three, and Qin Shiwei asked.
[Have you received Sun Shangxiang's invitation to her engagement party? ]
Gu Xiangsi replied.
【received,】
She didn't tell her that Sun Shangxiang threatened her.
Qin Shiwei exploded in the group.
【Doing side science?】
Is she crazy? Are we familiar with her? She's engaged to the class monitor and sent me an invitation...
An angry meme.
[I don't know what the squad leader's vision is. He's the only one willing to take over for someone like that!]
A series of complaints came out one after another, with great firepower.
Gu Xiangsi couldn't help laughing, but also felt helpless.
At this time, Nanyu sent a message: [I saved the membership fee.]
When Gu Xiangsi arrived at the Peninsula Hotel, the entrance was already filled with luxury cars, and the exclusive luxury car parking spaces were almost full. Waiters who were there to receive guests were shuttling back and forth, creating a lively scene.
She saw Qin Shiwei waving at her from the side.
She was wrapped in a beige windbreaker, with her scarf tightly wrapped around her chin, and she looked like she was really cold.
Gu Xiangsi nodded, and the two of them reported their names at the door, received admission cards, and walked to the side of the hotel to hand over the money.
Qin Shiwei pouted, looking unhappy. "I have to eat more tonight! This is too much! I worked so hard to earn my royalties, and they're being 'exploited' by Sun Shangxiang like this."
Gu Xiangsi was amused by her: "It's socialism now. If you don't want to give it, what can she really do to you?"
"Hmph, I just can't stand the look on her face." Qin Shiwei curled her lips.
They walked into the banquet hall side by side.
Neither of them took the initiative to congratulate Sun Shangxiang.
There was a group of people around her, all complimenting each other, and it was very lively.
Li Hao standing next to him was also wearing formal clothes today, with a smile on his face, looking more respectable than usual.
Qin Shiwei took Gu Xiangsi and walked around the dessert area first. She put the food on her plate when she saw something that suited her taste. She then walked to the beverage area and got two drinks. Then she took her to sit on the small sofa nearby and started eating slowly.
The two of them wanted to hide away quietly, but trouble came knocking on their door.
As soon as the host finished guiding the exchange of engagement rings, Sun Shangxiang suggested playing a game and turned around and walked straight towards the two people hiding in the corner.
She was wearing a bright red cheongsam with a slit reaching her thighs, which perfectly outlined her figure.
"Hey, Gu Xiangsi, Qin Shiwei, are you two the reincarnations of starving ghosts?" Chen Xiaoxiao said with contempt in her tone.
Qin Shiwei immediately stood up and looked up to meet her gaze. "Your sister is getting engaged today, so you can't be so stingy, right? I contributed my share of the money. But you, you'd better put out more food in various corners of the hotel, so that some starving ghost won't come to haunt you in the middle of the night."
Gu Xiangsi, stifling a laugh, tried to smooth things over, "Mr. Sun, congratulations on your engagement."
Her eyes inadvertently swept towards the main table, and she was slightly startled.
The people sitting at the main table were actually Fu Sinian and Jiang Xinghe.
Why would they come to such an occasion?
On second thought, Fu Sinian and Sun Shangxiang were quite related, and with his status, he could go anywhere.
Chen Xiaoxiao's face was very interesting after being criticized. She pointed at them and said, "You eat so much, aren't you afraid of getting fat to death?"
"What? Didn't you get enough of the fight last time? Do you want to use the Nine Yin Bone Claw at your cousin's engagement party?"
Gu Xiangsi raised an eyebrow, his eyes swept over Chen Xiaoxiao's slightly stout figure, and then deliberately glanced at himself and Qin Shiwei's figures, smiling wantonly, "Shiwei and I will never gain weight no matter how much we eat."
Qin Shiwei immediately understood and cooperated: "Some people only grow flesh but not brains, but we are born with a physique that can't gain weight. I envy you so much!"
Chen Xiaoxiao's face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and she stamped her feet and screamed, "Don't be so complacent!"
