However, before she could stand firm, a big hand suddenly grabbed her arm, and with a pull, she was pulled into his arms.
"Why are you here so late?" He lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
A low "tsk tsk" sound immediately sounded in the box.
"Junfeng and his wife have a really good relationship."
"It's too cruel to show affection in front of us old guys."
"It's better to be young."
Qi Xuechun:……
This is not the scene she expected.
"Junfeng, sit down with Xuechun quickly," Sifu said, "Secretary Cheng, right? My assistant will bring you wine later. Please go outside to pick it up and give him directions."
The meaning of the words is very obvious. Outsiders should not be present at the family banquet.
Cheng Shen'er nodded, turned and left.
Si Junfeng's lonely figure was reflected in the corner of his eye, and he couldn't help but feel his heart shrink.
What happened in his apartment that afternoon came to mind.
Her kiss was so soft and sweet, yet trembling like a rose blooming in the rain, which made people feel heartbroken... He wanted to hold her tightly in his arms, soothe her anxiety, and give her everything she wanted.
But the more he thought about it, the clearer his mind became.
Now, his heartache and reluctance will only harm her.
"Cheng Shen'er, don't be like this," he pushed her away firmly, "we can't be like this."
Cheng Shen'er also looked at him firmly: "Let me stay by your side, no matter in what capacity."
"You don't have to be like this..."
"Whether it's worth it or not, I have the final say." Cheng Shen'er bit her lip, "From now on, I will stay by your side in my own way. I am not afraid of what others think of me, and I don't care who obstructs me... until you are willing to accept it.
My day."
At this moment, he wanted to tell her the truth. He had to finish the matter before he could be free.
And the day he gets free, he can be with her.
However, telling her the truth will only put her in danger.
He can't be so selfish.
"It's up to you." He could only reply coldly, "But let me say it first, the person I want to marry is Qi Xuechun, you will never get anything from me."
Cheng Shen'er didn't speak, but her firm look gave her the answer.
"Junfeng, how are you preparing for the wedding?" Grandpa Si asked, bringing Si Junfeng back from his thoughts.
"We are scheduled to take wedding photos the day after tomorrow," Si Junfeng replied. "There will be interviews with financial media, and the wedding news will be released in the form of financial news."
Both families are businessmen, so there is nothing wrong with this.
"Find a better wedding parlor and let them dress Xuechun more beautiful." A trace of disgust flashed in Grandpa Si's eyes.
"I just like her the way she is now," Si Junfeng disagreed. "She is more beautiful, and I will feel a sense of crisis."
Qi Xuechun secretly sweated, Si Junfeng had to flirt with so many girls to make his mouth so sweet.
No wonder a little girl like Cheng Shen'er would be confused because of him.
However, Qi Xuechun felt that she had mastered a certain password...Grandpa Si didn't like her very much.
Compared with Cheng Shen'er, she really doesn't look "feminine" at all, so she might as well add a little bit more.
"Gudong, Gudong." She picked up the wine bottle and poured a full glass of wine into the glass. She stood up suddenly and raised her glass to Grandpa Si: "Grandpa, I'd like to propose a toast to you. I wish you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity as long as the Southern Mountains."
Then before anyone could react, she raised her head and drank the full glass of wine.
The whole place suddenly fell into a strange silence.
In full view of everyone, she burped, then turned her hand over and poured the cup down, grinning, "After a sip, grandpa, my sincerity has finally arrived."
Qi's father and Qi's mother suddenly just wanted to hide where they were.
Si Junfeng then picked up a glass of wine and said, "Grandpa, I also wish you a happy marriage. I hope you can be the officiant at Xuechun and I's wedding."
After saying that, he drank the full glass of wine in one gulp.
"Okay, good drinker!" The relatives of the Si family quickly clapped their hands to smooth things over. This is the purpose of sitting here.
"Grandpa, you are so lucky. Your grandson's daughter-in-law is happy and cheerful. She is guaranteed to have a son after she gets married."
"We'll drink again then."
"You don't have to wait until the time comes. You have to drink now. Come on, let's toast grandpa together.
A smile appeared on Grandpa Si's face and he picked up the wine glass, but there was no smile in his eyes.
Grandpa Si didn't eat much. Halfway through the meal, he went to rest next door.
As soon as the door closed, his face sank.
"This is the daughter-in-law you chose?" He glared at his son and daughter-in-law angrily.
Si Ma called Qu: "Dad, this is Junfeng's choice. Who among us can be in charge of him?"
"It's all your fault!" Grandpa Si slammed the table angrily.
Si Ma whispered in a low voice: "I think Xuechun is pretty good. She is a police officer and is very good at solving crimes..."
"What men in the Si family want is a good wife. Why do they want someone who can solve crimes and stay at home every day?" Grandpa Si asked angrily.
"Dad, what Xuechun does is very meaningful. As long as she encounters bad guys, no one can escape." Anyway, after being heard, Si Ma simply defended boldly.
"There are no bad people in the Si family, we don't need her! Cough cough cough!"
"Stop saying a few words," Sifu said goodbye to his wife, "Dad, I know you don't like it, but there's nothing you can do if Junfeng likes him, unless you can convince Junfeng. As for who Junfeng marries, we all
No comment."
Si Ma thought to herself, it was her husband’s clever move and he kicked the ball back to his son.
Grandpa Si's face turned red with anger: "I knew you were useless, so I had to come!"
At the same time, in a remote part of the hotel corridor, Qi’s mother was walking around frantically.
"Mom, aren't you tired? It makes me dizzy." Qi Xuechun curled her lips.
"How dare you say that?" Qi Ma's eyebrows were so furrowed that she could kill a fly, "Don't you see that Grandpa Si doesn't like you and is still very annoying to you."
Qi Xuechun saw it, but wasn't that a good thing?
She was thinking about how to make use of the topic.
"Why are you laughing?" Qi Ma stared at her.
"I didn't laugh."
"I obviously saw you smiling!"
"I...I have a way to make Grandpa Qi like me, don't worry." Qi Xuechun comforted Qi's mother.
"real?"
Of course it's false, but if she didn't say so, Qi's mother wouldn't let her have the opportunity to cause damage.
"Xue Chun, Xuechun!" At this time, Sima ran over in a hurry, "Go and have a look, grandpa has lost something."
"What's going on?" Qi Xuechun was confused.
"I don't know either," Si Ma said anxiously, "but grandpa said his jade tiger was missing."
The Jade Tiger is a hand-held piece, carved from the finest Hetian jade. Grandpa Si has been playing with it in his hand for more than three years, and it has already formed a layer of patina.
Its value has increased a lot compared to when I bought it, making it very valuable.
Qi Xuechun remembered seeing him playing with the jade tiger while eating, which meant that it had only been fifteen minutes since it was lost.
"Close the door of the box, and no waiters are allowed to enter or exit. Everyone cannot move in their seat." Qi Xuechun walked into the box and immediately entered the case-handling state.
Everyone looked at each other and were all a little confused by Qi Xuechun.
They knew that Grandpa Si had lost the jade tiger, but Qi Xuechun did this because he regarded them as suspects.
"Wife Junfeng," an elder said in a deep voice, "I have no objection to you looking for something for grandpa, but do you regard us as a target of suspicion now?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was talking about it and their opinions were quite big.
"Junfeng, your wife is not doing something right. You don't want to talk to her either."
"We are all from the Si family, how can we still be jealous of grandpa's things?"
"You want to say that we are jealous of grandpa's stocks and real estate, and we agree. You suspect that we are jealous of a jade tiger. This is dragging down our situation!"
The more people talked, the angrier they became.
"This is how investigation works. The more cooperative you are, the faster the investigation will be." Si Junfeng said quietly, indifferent to their anger.
Seeing this, the relatives became even more angry.
"Junfeng, you have to have a limit when you indulge your wife. We are all your elders!"
"Just now your wife made a fool of herself in front of grandpa, and we all helped smooth things over. Now you're going to do this to us?"
"In the future, do you and your wife still want to establish themselves as relatives of the Si family?"
"..."
The more people talked, the more excited they became, and they gathered around Si Junfeng.
Qi Xuechun stood in front of Si Junfeng and faced the crowd with a proud expression, showing no anger or authority.
Everyone was stunned involuntarily.
Qi Xuechun's aura has scared off many criminals, and her deterrent power is perfect.
"The more you cooperate with the investigation, the faster I can find the Jade Tiger," Qi Xuechun said loudly: "Only by finding the truth can we truly clear away the suspicions of everyone present. Otherwise, everyone will guess who the thief is and keep guessing.
, everyone will be considered a thief, do you want this?"
Everyone was slightly stunned, obviously no one wanted to do this.
"Now I am asking one by one, please tell the truth, and try to find the Jade Tiger in the shortest time." Qi Xuechun said, "There is no need for you to regard yourself as a suspect, but as a helper to help me solve the case, wouldn't it be good?"
"Grandpa said that there will be rewards for those who provide valid clues." Si Junfeng continued.
The situation immediately reversed, and everyone raised their hands to be questioned first, fearing that the clues they knew would be revealed by others first.
It doesn't matter what kind of reward grandpa gives, it's important that you can take this opportunity to leave a good impression on grandpa.
"Grandpa didn't say anything about rewards, right?" Qi Xuechun asked Si Junfeng privately.
Si Junfeng made a serious face: "Handle the case well."
As he spoke, a hand put his arm around her waist, and his hard lips came to her ear: "Let's see how you thank me."
His hands actually grabbed two handfuls on his waist dishonestly.
In front of everyone, Qi Xuechun could only glare at him fiercely.
Turning his head, he saw Cheng Shen'er standing at the door of the box, her big bright eyes filled with disappointment.
Making eye contact with Qi Xuechun, she immediately turned away and closed the box door.
Qi Xuechun curled her lips, what a coincidence.
She sat down at the dining table without moving, asked others to sit in their original positions, and started asking questions one by one.
"I've been sitting here without moving. The person next to me... I'm sure he hasn't gone out either."
"The person on my left didn't go out, but on the right...Uncle Third, you've been to the bathroom once, right?"
"I have been there, but grandpa was still at the dinner table at that time."
"When Uncle San went to the bathroom, I saw grandpa holding a jade tiger."
"Yes, when grandpa was talking to me, he put the jade tiger on the table."
A big game of guessing "who is the undercover" begins.
