After a simple lunch, An Qi began to wait for a long time. For the first time, she felt that waiting was also a kind of happiness. From time to time, she ran to the dressing room in the bedroom to touch up her makeup. Her breasts were beautifully dressed up and made of pink and jade.
Taku, sitting on the sofa like a doll, would raise his head every few minutes and ask: "Mom, why hasn't uncle come yet?"
An Qi said: "Uncle will be here soon." At the same time, she paid attention to the nanny's movements. The nanny in the family was Jin Xudong's spy, and every move she made was probably reported to the past, but An Qi had a clear conscience.
You En, and besides, they came together as a couple, and their social status was not lower than that of Jin Xudong. She was not afraid even if the nanny snitched on her.
Around 3:50, An Qi also became a little restless. Why hasn't he come yet? Maybe the other party has changed temporarily. She picked up the phone and wanted to call to ask, but she felt it was too abrupt, so she put it down.
At three fifty-nine, the doorbell finally rang. An Qi secretly sighed that Mr. Liu was indeed a British gentleman and kept his appointment in no time. She quickly told the nanny: "Lulu, go and open the door."
As expected, it was Mr. Liu and Mrs. Liu who came. They brought a large bouquet of flowers and a box of exquisite Swiss handmade chocolates. An Qi welcomed the guests into the living room. After a brief greeting, the guests and the host took their seats. She couldn't help but look at Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu is about 27 or 27 years old, has a good temperament, and looks like a member of the upper class. An Qi looked at her clothes for a long time and couldn't identify the brand of her clothes. She probably has clothes that are handmade in a private tailor shop in Europe.
"Your husband is not here?" Mrs. Liu asked.
"Oh, Mimi's father has gone to Europe and it will take some time to come back. He works in an investment bank and flies around a lot. He is very busy. By the way, what does Mrs. Liu do?"
"I work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." Mrs. Liu's voice was soft, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
An Qi was in awe, the other party turned out to be a female diplomat, no wonder she had such a good temperament.
The two parties hit it off and chatted happily. After tasting the coffee brewed by An Qi herself, they visited the room under the guidance of the hostess. Jin Xudong’s home in Gubei New District is a single-family villa with a garage and garden, and a car.
Three cars, a nanny car, a small sports car, and Jin Xudong's Mercedes-Benz sedan. The interior decoration is luxurious, which shows that the owner is powerful. During the visit, Liu Ziguang noticed a row of frames on the fireplace, and there was someone he knew in one of the photos.
.
There were three people in the photo. It was An Qi who was leaning in the arms of a wretched man and smiling a little awkwardly. At that time, her eyes were more innocent. Standing next to her was a blond white girl with a vague resemblance between her eyebrows.
It was Demi Thorpe who had a passionate night with Liu Ziguang in France.
An Qi noticed that Liu Ziguang was observing this photo and introduced: "This is my former neighbor, an American. Her father works in a foreign-funded enterprise in Shanghai. The little girl is very cute, but she has returned to the United States now. I really hope to see her again."
to her."
Liu Ziguang said calmly: "You are so hospitable."
An Qi said: "Mimi's father likes to make friends. He has friends from all over the world. When he comes back, I will introduce him to you. You will definitely become good friends."
"That's such an honor." Liu Ziguang said politely.
After chatting for two hours, Mrs. Liu looked at her watch and gave it to Mr. Liu with a look, indicating that Mr. Liu could leave. An Qi was observing his words and could not have noticed this detail. Before Liu Ziguang could speak, she said coquettishly: "
You are not allowed to leave today, try my cooking skills."
Mrs. Liu said politely: "It won't be a problem."
An Qi winked at her daughter quietly, and Mimi cooperated: "Uncle, don't leave~~"
Liu Ziguang smiled: "Well, since we are so destined and we are neighbors, I will treat you to this meal and let's find a restaurant."
An Qi said: "Now, no matter how high-end the restaurant is, I don't feel confident. Food safety is very problematic. What I buy are all pollution-free vegetables and imported olive oil. I don't care about anything else. I just want to eat with confidence. Is Mr. Liu treating me?"
Do you have any doubts about your cooking skills?"
After saying this, everyone laughed. Mr. Liu and his wife no longer insisted and stayed in the living room to play with Mimi. An Qi went to the kitchen in person. The ingredients were all ready-made, and the nanny helped, so she cooked a lot of food in a short time.
After a table of exquisite meals and a bottle of red wine produced by Chateau Lafite from the wine cellar, the guests and hosts sat down in the restaurant and began a pleasant dinner.
An Qi was highly educated. During the first few years when she followed Jin Xudong, she traveled abroad every year, especially to Hong Kong. She was quite experienced. But compared with Mr. Liu and his wife, An Qi simply felt like a
A country boy who has never seen the world.
Mr. Liu and his wife spoke elegantly, and they inadvertently mentioned the names of some important figures, all of which were familiar to An Qi. She did not have much contact with her husband's social circle, but she also knew a few red descendants in the capital.
"Mr. Zou from Huaxia Mining is very familiar with our family, Lao Jin. Every time we go to the capital, we always visit their home. Mr. Zou's wife likes Mimi very much. Last time she said she would recognize her as her goddaughter." An Qi interrupted at the right time.
This sentence shows that the relationship between my family and the upper class is not shallow.
After the meal, the nanny served tea. Mrs. Liu saw a piano in the living room and asked who used it. An Qi proudly said that she graduated from the Conservatory of Music and that this piano was used to teach her daughter.
As he spoke, he played an impromptu song called "Blue Danube". When the song ended, everyone applauded. Liu Ziguang couldn't help but get excited and said, "I'll show my shame too."
"Mrs. Liu" was shocked. There was no such link in the plan. Moreover, according to the information, Liu Ziguang's music class grades from childhood to adulthood were only passing. It can be said that he has no talent in music. Suddenly he wanted to play the piano. It was really a success.
It's embarrassing.
It was too late to stop him. Liu Ziguang sat on the piano bench and began to have feelings. Shangguan Jin could only smile and said to An Qi: "He hasn't touched the piano for a long time and is a little rusty."
An Qi hugged her daughter and looked at Liu Ziguang with a smile, obviously full of confidence in him.
Liu Ziguang started playing. As Shangguan Jin said, the movements were very unfamiliar. Everyone responded with a tolerant smile. For an expert in ancient literature and history, piano is completely a side job.
But Liu Ziguang's movements gradually became more proficient. The piano sound was soothing and melodious, with an ancient charm. Later, it became tragic and passionate. Liu Ziguang was also completely immersed in the atmosphere of the music. Every movement seemed to be full of deep feelings. Listening to
In the end, the emotional An Qi burst into tears, and Shangguan Jin's expression became a little weird.
"Mr. Liu, you played so well. This piece should be "Man Jiang Hong", right?" An Qi looked at Liu Ziguang with a look of admiration.
Liu Ziguang nodded and said, "Yes, I have always felt that Chinese classical music performed with Western instruments has a unique charm, so I have done some research in this area."
Seeing An Qi's fascinated look, as if she wanted to discuss this issue in depth, Shangguan Jin quickly interrupted: "It's getting late, let's not disturb Mimi's rest."
Liu Ziguang walked down the slope and said, "Well, thank you very much for the dinner. Let's take our leave now. When Mr. Jin comes back, can we make an appointment to get together again?"
"Okay, I'll see you off." An Qi took Mimi and sent them out of the door.
…
In the car, Shangguan Jin said sarcastically: "If I stop you, I don't think you are going to leave."
Liu Ziguang retorted while driving: "It seems that you made this plan, I just implemented it seriously."
Shangguan Jin said: "I didn't decide to add a temporary performance. If your piano performance fails, your perfect image will be shattered and the plan will be changed. I don't want it to happen again."
Liu Ziguang said: "Am I not good at playing?"
"I don't deny your piano playing skills, but the problem is that you didn't communicate with me in advance. The two of us are now an action team. I don't want to compete for dominance, but I think the most important thing for a partner is tacit understanding."
Liu Ziguang shrugged and stopped arguing.
Shangguan Jin paused for a moment, then said in a gentle tone: "You play really well. I seem to see a strong and powerful family, and a long love between children. It seems that a magnificent historical picture is slowly unfolding in front of me."
Speaking of this, Shangguan Jin secretly observed Liu Ziguang. His eyes were deeper than usual, as if there were endless stories buried in them.
At this moment, Shangguan Jin concluded that "Man Jiang Hong" was the key that could truly unlock the depths of this man's soul.
After a while, Liu Ziguang said slowly: "I have already guessed who is behind the scenes?"
"who?"
"An American named Richard Thorpe. We have fought each other for more than one round, but I win every time, and this time is no exception."
Shangguan Jin was a little surprised: "Where did you draw the conclusion?"
Liu Ziguang said bluntly: "Jin Xudong and Thorpe were once colleagues. Thorpe did not hesitate to use mercenaries and Predator drones for the iron ore in West Sadamoya, but still fell short. Such people will never give up easily.
, they will get things they can't get on the battlefield from other places. I suspect that Thorpe and Ma Fengfeng are colluding and want to embezzle other people's property in the name of the country, and Jin Xudong is the comprador, running around to bring them together, expecting the tycoon.
They picked some scraps from under their fingernails and gave them to him."
"It sounds very logical, but what we need is evidence rather than reasoning, and it is conclusive evidence. I don't think I need to remind you how high our opponent's level is." Shangguan Jin said.
"This kind of thing that threatens the national strategic security level is definitely not something that Director Tan and Ma Fengfeng can do at will." Liu Ziguang sneered.
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Expose this matter and report it directly to General Luo Kegong of the General Staff. The military has spent so much manpower and material resources not just to make wedding clothes for others."
