This also made Ye Chen more cautious. As long as the performance was not over, he would not walk out of this door unless necessary.
In the box next door.
The old man and the old lady were sitting on the sofa. An Chongqiu and his wife were next to them. Opposite them were An Kaifeng, An Zhaonan and his wife, and Ye Chen's aunt An Youyou.
As for Li Yalin, he went directly to the bar to pour a glass of whiskey, sat on the bench at the bar and started drinking by himself.
In addition to the four brothers and sisters of the An family and Ye Chen's three aunts, those coming tonight are An Kaifeng's two sons, An Zhaonan's eldest daughter, and An Youyou's twelve-year-old only daughter.
These juniors are all Ye Chen's cousins, and they can all be considered fans of Gu Qiuyi, so they followed him from Los Angeles.
An Chongqiu's two daughters also like Gu Qiuyi very much. However, the eldest daughter is studying for a Ph.D. at Stanford, and the second daughter is studying in the UK. She is relatively busy with her studies. The old man was seriously ill before, so they asked for leave to come back to accompany them, which delayed a lot of their studies, so today
They all rushed back to school early in the morning.
However, An Chongqiu's two daughters also specifically asked several other brothers and sisters to take as many concert videos as possible for them in the An family's internal family chat software.
Although Ye Chen couldn't sense their identities, after listening to them chatting for a few words, he almost determined everyone's identity.
Among them, the eldest son of his second uncle An Kaifeng's family was whom he had met before when he was a child, but this cousin was still an infant at that time.
As for the eldest daughter of his uncle An Zhaonan's family and the only daughter of his aunt An Youyou, Ye Chen has not met yet.
At this time, An Chongqiu saw that Li Yalin was a little bored drinking alone, so he walked to the bar, sat down next to him, and asked, "Why, your mood hasn't eased a little yet?"
Li Yalin smiled bitterly and said: "Calm down, we have known each other for so many years, and you know me. I am really confused when I suffer such a big loss but have no chance to get it back!"
An Chongqiu poured himself a glass of wine, clinked glasses with him, and said, "Old Li, look forward. Although your days as a police officer are long, they have passed."
Li Yalin nodded slightly and sighed: "You are right, you have to look forward..."
An Chongqiu asked him: "You said you wanted to go to Houston to be with your wife and children, did you tell them?"
"Not yet." Li Yalin said with a bitter smile: "Isn't this because I am still unwilling...I always feel that there may be a chance for this case to come to light..."
An Chongqiu said seriously: "Old Li, listen to my advice, pack your luggage when you get back in the evening, and book the earliest flight to Houston tomorrow morning."
After saying that, An Chongqiu said again: "Forget it, I'll arrange a plane to take you there!"
Li Yalin said with a somewhat hesitant expression: "This is too fast..."
An Chongqiu said seriously: "Cut the mess with a sharp knife!"
Li Yalin couldn't make up his mind for a while.
He wanted to leave, but he was really unwilling to do so.
At this moment, Li Yalin suddenly received a message on his cell phone. When he opened it, his expression quickly became excited and he quickly said to An Chongqiu: "Did you just say that you would arrange a flight to take me to Houston?"
An Chongqiu nodded and said, "That's right, I just need a word from you!"
Li Yalin said without thinking: "Then tonight! I will go to the airport after the performance!"
An Chongqiu asked in surprise: "You are kicking me in the sky and kicking me on the ground. Why are you so urgent all of a sudden?"
Li Yalin grinned and said: "My daughter just sent me a message saying that she is pregnant!"
