As a girl, Hou Yiying was more considerate than Xiong Jiandong. When she was going to Kent's house for a dinner, she suggested buying a basket of flowers to bring to the host.
After coming out of the hotel, the two of them found out that they could only find a flower shop nearby at a place called Shopping World between Weasley Avenue and Ronald Street.
In order not to waste time, they decided to take a taxi. However, within ten minutes, they were taken to the door of the flower shop they were going to.
As soon as she got out of the car, Hou Yiying said regretfully to Xiong Jiandong, if she had known it was only such a small distance, she might as well have walked here. The taxi fare today was a bit of a loss.
However, Xiong Jiandong did not speak. He had a gloomy look on his face and stared at a three-story French villa not far away.
That's Beverly No. 5.
Two months ago, the dying Lin Sirer was taken out from the basement of Beverly No. 5, naked and wrapped in a blanket.
"Where is that place?" she asked strangely. "Do you think there is anything wrong?"
"No, there's nothing wrong." Xiong Jiandong came back to his senses, "I was just looking at that building. It's a bit special. Let's hurry up and go in and buy flowers."
Then, he walked straight into the flower shop.
But Hou Yiying once again looked at the three-story French villa carefully, and then followed it in.
She keenly guessed from Xiong Jiandong's solemn expression just now that he might not have told the truth.
Obviously there will no longer be a fugitive hiding there, no. Huang Tong's number.
It took the salesperson more than ten minutes to compile an exquisite and beautiful flower basket. Hou Yiying was very satisfied with it.
"Excuse me, how can I get to my home at No. 21 Beverly from here?"
Hou Yiying asked the salesperson while paying.
"It's not far." The salesperson pointed out the window enthusiastically, "Have you seen the three-story house? That's Beverly No. 5. Just follow it for a few hundred meters and you can find Beverly 21.
Number."
"You mean, that three-story French villa is Beverly No. 5." Hou Yiying deliberately sounded envious, "Ah, that house looks so beautiful. I wonder what the owner does?
"
"I have owned this store for many years and I know that this family is from China. The hostess is a lady named Lin. She is very beautiful and she often comes to visit. However, the packaging ordered by Ms. Lin has never been
There is only one kind of orchid. However, I haven’t seen her for more than two years.”
It seems that this salesperson is still regretting the loss of a female customer whom she has been with for many years.
"Then you must be familiar with this gentleman, right?"
Hou Yiying asked again.
"Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with him at all. I don't even know his last name." The salesperson shrugged. "That's Ms. Lin, and she has never mentioned her husband."
"This is very strange!" Hou Yiying wanted to continue asking, "Could it be..."
Xiong Jian** suddenly spoke to stop Hou Yiying: "Now, it's time for us to leave."
After he finished speaking, he picked up the flower basket and walked out.
Hou Yiying had no choice but to chase him out.
"You are so angry. Could it be that I have done something wrong?"
She stared at Xiong Jiandong who looked unhappy and asked him.
Xiong Jiandong frowned and said nothing.
"Forget it, let's make peace!" Hou Yiying took Xiong Jiandong's arm, "We can't go to someone else's place with such an unhappy expression. What's more, in front of John and his son, you and I have to make the same decision.
The look of a pair of intimate lovers."
In fact, she was able to put down her posture and take the initiative to show her kindness to Xiong Jiandong because she was proud of herself. Just now, she had easily found out about Beverly No. 5 from the salesperson at the flower shop, and there was even a person named Lin.
Chinese women, although this is not very clear, it is a very useful piece of information.
Moreover, Hou Yiying had reason to suspect that maybe Xiong Jiandong was no stranger to this Beverly No. 5 before.
Because in Hou Yiying's view, when Xiong Jiandong first stared at Beverly No. 5, his gloomy eyes clearly contained strong grief, pain, and even jealous anger.
…
However, after arriving at Kent's home, Hou Yiying began to realize that her worries on the road were completely unnecessary.
At this time, Xiong Jiandong completely behaved like a guest in a foreign country, humbly and even touched by favors.
Kent had already returned home from get off work at the police station.
The American family banquet is exquisite but not extravagant. Old John prepared salad, barbecue, smoked fish, cold dishes, fruit plate, including drinks and wine, which was rich in variety but not complicated.
In addition to Xiong Jiandong and Hou Yiying, the others at the dinner were Old John and his wife, as well as Kent and his fiancée Nancy.
Nancy is still a college student.
During the meal, Hou Yiying noticed that Nancy would stare at her right hand from time to time for some unknown reason. Especially when Hou Yiying was adding rice, Nancy would pay more attention to the posture of her hand.
Hou Yiying thought in confusion that he had behaved very carefully and should not have lost etiquette somewhere.
Later, Nancy and Kent whispered a few words, and with the encouragement of her boyfriend, they finally brought up the topic.
"Miss Hou, can I ask you a question," Nancy said, "Kent told me that when he was rescued by Mr. Xiong and you in the Middle East, he had learned your Chinese Kung Fu. At that time, Miss Hou only used one
With a finger, he poked Kent's head lightly, and Kent immediately became mute. What kind of kung fu was that?"
Hou Yiying was stunned by the question and looked at Xiong Jiandong at a loss.
Xiong Jiandong immediately understood that Kent and Nancy had mistaken Hou Yiying for Taoist Master Miaoxin.
No wonder, he did not describe to Hou Yiying how Miao Xin had to use acupuncture in order to prevent Kent in the stable from making any noise during the Hulazid Front brigade in the Middle East.
"Oh, I understand." Xiong Jiandong seemed to suddenly realize it, and smiled at Hou Yi, "It turns out that Miss Nancy really wants to know the acupuncture technique of our country."
Hou Yiying reacted immediately.
Although she didn't know much about Miao Xin's Taoist martial arts, she had watched some martial arts TV series.
"I wonder if Miss Nancy knows about Chinese metaphysics and acupuncture, or has she watched Bruce Lee's movies?" Hou Yiying said, "The power of acupuncture comes from the principles of metaphysics and acupuncture. Chinese Kung Fu has always been
It’s not a legend, it really has a long history.”
Nancy shook her head and said she didn't know anything.
