The dinner was held at the Li family's villa in Repulse Bay. It was a banquet held for Li Qingyu's return to China. Since Xia Shao was Li Qingyu's bodyguard, she naturally wanted to stay with him. Li Qingyu had his own residence outside, but since Li Boyuan knew that he was in danger, he became more and more concerned about his safety and asked him to live back in the main house of the Li family. Therefore, Xia Shao's residence was also arranged here.
Her bedroom is a small lounge set aside in Li Qingyu's room. It has private space and is convenient for protecting him.
After taking the salute to the room, Xia Shao closed the door and called her parents and master to report that she was safe. After listening to the three people's instructions, she hung up the phone and finally dialed Xu Tianyin's number.
"Senior brother, I'm at Li's house. I haven't contacted Maxim and Mo Fei yet. There is a dinner party tonight. I did some divination. It's nothing important." Xia Shao said. But in fact, she didn't do divination at all, but used her clairvoyance to predict what would happen that night - a banquet that was said to be held for Li Qingyu's return to China, but was actually a blind date in disguise. It was like choosing a concubine, and there were many ladies from famous families gathered there, and there was nothing but jealousy among the women.
However, there may be something trivial at the blind date banquet. In the foresight of the Heavenly Eye, one can only see the picture but not hear what was said. We can only watch it then.
However, this dinner was an opportunity for Xia Shao. After all, everyone at the Li family's dinner party came from a proud family background, and Xia Shao could use this opportunity to get to know the bottom of Hong Kong's upper class society.
"Yes." Xu Tianyin's cool voice came from the phone, a little deep, "Contact them as soon as possible and pay attention to safety."
"Well, I will let them know my schedule. If I use Dragon Scale, don't worry, I will contact you afterwards. If you are in the army, don't worry about me too much. Come back when the matter is settled. Also," Xia Shao looked at Looking out the window in the direction of Qingsheng, he smiled softly and said, "Go to bed tonight, do you hear me?"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, no one spoke, but the man's deep breathing could be heard. Xia Shao waited until she heard him say "hmm", then smiled and said: "Okay, I have to go to the dinner party in a while. Let’s talk when we come back tonight.”
"Yes." The man kept saying the same thing, "Be safe." Then he waited for Xia Shao to hang up the phone before hanging up.
The moment Xia Shao hung up the phone, there was a knock on the door. The servant brought five dresses, which meant that Xia Shao could choose from them. Xia Shao chose a short black dress with a knee-length skirt and high slits on the thighs. Xia Shao tied a belt around her legs, put the dragon scale dagger inside, then packed up and walked out.
Li Boyuan and Li Qingyu were sitting in the hall downstairs waiting for her. When they saw Xia Shao coming downstairs, they turned to look over.
I saw the woman slowly coming down from the stairs. She had no makeup on, only her hair was gently rolled up, her neck was slender, and her skin was extremely beautiful. It was extremely rare skin, as beautiful as the shadow of the moon, like the pearly light that suddenly emerged from the deep sea, hazy and elegant. Although she didn't put on makeup, she looked extremely beautiful the moment she appeared. This kind of beauty makes people ignore her slightly ordinary appearance. She wears a short black dress with a rose-stained skirt and a pair of smiling phoenix eyes, which adds a mysterious charm. Especially the looming dagger hidden in her skirt makes her look mysterious and elegant with a bit of wildness, which is unforgettable in people's eyes.
"Haha, I think there is no need to find Qing Yu's dance partner tonight, Miss Li is quite suitable." Li Boyuan laughed first.
"Chairman Li is joking. I'm just a bodyguard. There must be many famous ladies for Mr. Li to choose from tonight." Xia Shao smiled, which meant something profound.
Li Boyuan knew Xia Shao's identity as a Feng Shui master. When he heard her words, he knew that she had figured out that tonight's dinner was a blind date party, and he immediately laughed. Li Qingyu saw his grandfather and Xia Shao looking at each other next to him. Looking at her, she thought her grandfather had told her about this in advance, so she didn't pay attention.
At this time, the housekeeper came in and said that the car was ready. Xia Shao followed Li Qingyu outside. The sky darkened and the rain was still falling. The two of them got into a black Rolls-Royce and the car drove away. The Li family mansion.
The car drove smoothly, with Xia Shao and Li Qingyu sitting in the back seat. As soon as the man got in the car, he gently closed his eyes and rested his mind. He was still wearing a dark gray suit and had not changed. His hands were folded on his lower abdomen, and the dim light of the streetlight reflected on his gold-rimmed glasses. The light and shadow along the road passed over the man's sculpted and profound features, as if an emperor was leaning on his throne. Even with his eyes closed to meditate, it still made people feel unfathomable.
Xia Shao glanced at him, then smiled softly, turned to look out the window, paying attention to the feng shui of the buildings along the road. The feng shui problems she told Li Boyuan before could actually be resolved through some large-scale buildings and the planning of the entire city. The buildings seen along the road have indeed resolved a lot of the dragon's aura. Looking at the layout of these large buildings, you can tell that the Feng Shui masters of Hong Kong Xuanmen are very good. Some of these buildings are not stand-alone, but are arranged in formations to resolve them. It can be seen that Feng Shui masters have contributed a lot to the overall planning of the city.
Xia Shao lowered her eyes. Just by looking at these, she could predict that there would be a fight to the death in Hong Kong this year.
She took a deep breath, and when she raised her eyes again, she was stunned. A man's face was reflected in the car window. Li Qingyu turned his head at some point and was looking at her.
Xia Shao turned her head and raised her eyebrows slightly. Seeing Li Qingyu nodded politely to her, but his unpredictable eyes still stayed on her face, he asked, "Which company does Ms. Li work for?"
"South Africa, Edie." Xia Shao replied with a smile.
Li Qingyu nodded lightly. His attitude was quite gentle, but it made people feel alienated. "How long has Miss Li been working as a bodyguard?"
"Mr. Li wants to know this, you can go check my information. My information has been submitted to Chairman Li." Xia Shao nodded and smiled. His smile was light and he was not very approachable.
"For this security work, your company only sent Miss Li?" Li Qingyu was not angry at Xia Shao's answer. His brows were still unpredictable and he looked at her intently.
This man is only twenty-three years old, but he has the demeanor of a mature man who has experienced the world for a long time. One look in his eyes can give people a sense of oppression.
It's a pity that this sense of oppression is ineffective for Xia Shao. She knows that Li Qingyu is testing her, and he seems to be unable to trust her, but she doesn't explain much. Anyway, no amount of explanations can compare to the imminent changes. . Li Qingyu would naturally know if she was qualified for this bodyguard job.
"I have two other companions here, but our division of labor is different. They are only responsible for peripheral support, and I will be responsible for Mr. Li's personal bodyguard work."
Xia Shao felt that her words were enough. Unexpectedly, the man moved his eyes to her thighs, and his eyes fell on the dragon scale dagger tied to her legs.
"Ms. Li used to be responsible for client security, and she used daggers?"
"I'm used to using daggers. Maybe Mr. Li thinks guns are easier to use, but it just depends on personal habits. You can only know which one is better after using it. As long as I can protect Mr. Li's safety, it doesn't matter what I use. ." Xia Shao said slowly, raising her eyebrows and asking, "Mr. Li, is there anything else you want to ask?"
The two people's eyes met, the man was solemn and unpredictable, while the woman smiled leisurely. After looking at each other, Li Qingyu lowered his eyes, and then smiled lightly.
He has never smiled since he appeared in Li Boyuan's study. He has always been serious and deep. Unexpectedly, this smile is actually a bit gorgeous, like a noble emperor showing off his face. Although it is light, in the light and shadow of the car's neon light, it looks like It is a soul-stirring painting that even the most expressive pen in the world cannot describe. He didn't ask any more questions, just turned his eyes outside the car and said lightly, "We're here."
When he got out of the car, he returned to his indifferent and distant look. Xia Shao followed him and entered a single-family villa with a servant holding an umbrella.
Tonight's dinner was held for Li Qingyu's return to China, but all the guests attending the dinner brought their female relatives. This was what Li Boyuan hinted, and it was undoubtedly sending a signal to the outside world that this dinner was for him. The beloved grandson Li Qingyu chooses a wife.
Li Qingyu is the most respected by Li Boyuan among the three generations of the Li family. He has taken him with him and taught him personally since he was a child. There have been rumors that Li Qingyu is likely to become the heir to the Jiahui Group. But Li Boyuan still has his eldest son alive. According to tradition, the eldest son usually inherits the company, and the Li family's wife and children are healthy. Even if the eldest son is gone, there is still a second bedroom, and it will not be the third family's turn. The third bedroom belongs to the Li family. The most ineffective thing is that Li Qingyu is the eldest son of the third wife. If Li Boyuan hadn't taken him seriously, he wouldn't have had this opportunity at all.
But Li Boyuan valued his grandson, which made the eldest and second bedroom jealous. As Li Boyuan got older in the past few years, the matter of heir had to be put on the agenda. The outside world speculated a lot about his intentions. Three days ago he He recalled Li Qingyu to the country and entered the company to hand over some affairs. He also held a dinner specially for Li Qingyu tonight and invited Shu Yuan, a famous woman from Hong Kong, to attend. This had to make the outside world speculate about Li Boyuan's intentions.
Is it possible that Li Boyuan is really interested in letting Li Qingyu inherit the company
The Jiahui Group is a giant in the world, a huge consortium. Needless to say, the benefits of marrying with the Jiahui Group. Therefore, for tonight's dinner, all those who have unmarried daughters at home have brought them. Those who did not have daughters at home also brought nieces and daughters of distant relatives to come dressed up.
When Xia Shao followed Li Qingyu into the lobby of the villa, what she saw was such a grand scene full of flowers. The young women were holding the arms of their uncles and elders and were greeting other guests. As soon as they entered the door, they could smell the powder. The fragrance, the splendid hall, the golden and red carpets, the ladies and ladies are elegant and dignified, and the champagne glasses in their hands rotate gently, creating a picture of revelry and wealth.
If the appearance of Li Qingyu brought this moving picture to a halt, then the appearance of Xia Shao made the scene slightly trembling and strange. Speculation, attention, vigilance, and hostility all surged in when Xia Shao stepped in. Come.
Xia Shao raised her eyebrows and smiled, accepting the gazes calmly, but in her heart she mourned for Li Qingyu. I'm afraid there are only a few of these women who are true ladies. This kind of blind date party is undoubtedly causing trouble for themselves.
But in the upper class, marriages are very common, and blind dates like this are commonplace, so Li Qingyu grew up in such a big family, and he had to adapt to this. Therefore, Xia Shao's silence lasted only three seconds, and then she unkindly went to the side to enjoy the cool weather and watch the show.
Li Qingyu does seem to be very used to these things. This man's movements are calm and noble, indifferent and distant, yet polite and well-educated.
And the performance of these famous Shuyuan was even more interesting. When they saw Li Qingyu, their eyes were so stunning that they almost shone, but they still maintained a dignified and elegant posture. They came forward with a smile and nodded in greeting. He also made insinuations about Xia Shao's identity. When they learned that Xia Shao was just a bodyguard hired by the Li family, many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and some even showed arrogant and contemptuous eyes, but they just slightly concealed it in front of Li Qingyu.
But the corporate CEOs who attended the banquet were all surprised when they heard about Xia Shao's identity as a bodyguard. They could not help but guess - Mr. Li even hired Li Qingyu's personal bodyguard? Is this too much regard for him? Does this mean that the rumor that Mr. Li called him back to China this time to announce that he will inherit the company is true
After thinking about it like this, all the bosses winked at their daughters one after another, and a battle started secretly.
Xia Shao, who was following Li Qingyu, didn't care how others looked at her. Her attention was on the people attending the banquet tonight. These people were almost representatives of Hong Kong's upper class. After she avenged her master and took back Xuanmen, these people were all her connections. Xia Shao secretly remembered the companies and families attending the banquet, but she didn't notice that the man in front of her occasionally glanced at her when he was introducing her to others, and saw the unfazed look on her eyes, and his eyes were slightly drooped under the gold-rimmed glasses.
After Xia Shao remembered these guests, she just stood aside to enjoy the cool weather and watch the show. The highlight of the banquet is the dance. In ordinary dances, men always invite women to dance with them in a gentlemanly manner, and this dance is naturally the same. But the wonderful thing is that there are a group of women and only one man.
Xia Shao watched these ladies and ladies stepping on high heels and holding up their skirts, like warriors in combat mode, constantly dangling in front of Li Qingyu. The roles were reversed, Li Qingyu sitting on the sofa looked like a lady, and the wealthy daughter who came to chat with him looked like a gentleman, holding up his skirt and bending slightly, as if to say: "Beautiful Miss, can I ask you to dance?"
Whenever a woman came over on high heels, Xia Shao lowered her eyes to hide the smile in her eyes. But no matter how hard she tried to hide it, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
Li Qingyu seemed to respect the women who came to suggest him to dance and did not embarrass them in person. He would get up and go to the dance floor to dance with any woman who had this intention. But when he stood up, he would always glance at the woman sitting next to him as his bodyguard, intentionally or unintentionally. The more the corners of her lips curved, the more inexplicably the lenses of his gold glasses reflected.
Li Qingyu's dance steps are elegant and composed. He seems to take every dance seriously and does not end hastily, but he still gives people the feeling of indifference and alienation. You can feel that he is taking something seriously, but you can't feel his intentions. Even when he is dancing with all kinds of beautiful women, he seems to be a deep and unpredictable king, whose thoughts are elusive. But the women still looked proud to dance with him, and gave each other a look of victory to the enemy. The women who hated him for not breaking out of the encirclement were so angry that they itched their teeth.
Xia Shao was sitting in the rest area, watching the show happily. When she saw Li Qingyu coming back from the dance floor, another woman came to strike up a conversation. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, waiting for another round of good show. But the man glanced at her without leaving any trace, and before several daughters came over, he got up and walked towards the bathroom.
Xia Shao was stunned for a moment, then stood up and followed her to the bathroom door. Li Qingyu stopped and turned around, looking down at the woman following him and raising her eyebrows slightly.
Xia Shao also raised her eyebrows and shrugged, "I don't want to follow a man to the bathroom, but that's the job of a bodyguard." After saying that, she opened her clairvoyance and took a look inside, and found that nothing unusual happened. Then she smiled leisurely and said: He made a gesture of invitation, "Please."
Unexpectedly, Li Qingyu didn't go in. He just looked at her with raised eyebrows and asked, "Is the bodyguard's job just to take a look at the door?"
This villa is often used for banquets. The bathroom is similar to a hotel and is used by several people. Xia Shao didn't think Li Qingyu was really timid enough to ask her to go in first for a checkup even when going to the toilet, but he was obviously making things difficult for her. This made her raise her eyebrows, a little surprised. This man seemed calm and mature, and he didn't look like someone who would take the opportunity to seek revenge.
In response to the man's difficulty, Xia Shao just looked at the sky calmly, staring at the ceiling with a leisurely attitude, "You can determine whether it is safe inside by just looking at the door. This is the standard of a professional bodyguard."
Li Qingyu raised his eyebrows, with an imperceptible smile between his eyebrows, turned around and walked in.
Xia Shao was waiting at the door, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, when several daughters came over from a distance.
These daughters were the ones who had just come to strike up a conversation with Li Qingyu. When they saw him going to the bathroom, they pretended to come to the bathroom as well, hoping to have a chance encounter.
From a distance, Xia Shao heard the conversation of several people.
"Zhishu, let's watch for you. You go to the bathroom. Young Master Li will come out in a while. We'll let you know!" said a woman in a pink dress.
Another woman in a dark blue dress next to him snorted, "Bang Zhishu is sure, but I'm afraid some people have bad intentions, so I can't help but have a chance encounter."
"What are you talking about!" The daughter in the pink dress frowned. She first glanced at the woman walking in the middle with a sharp look on her eyebrows and eyes, and then glanced sideways at the daughter in the dark blue dress. "Don't think everyone is like you. . I have no desire to covet Mr. Li, so please stop sowing discord!"
"Coveting? You mean, Miss Dong also covets Young Master Li?"
"You! I, what I mean is that the assets of the Li family can only be matched by someone like Miss Dong." The daughter of the fans glared angrily, and quickly smiled unnaturally at the daughter of the Dong family.
Dong Zhishu's eyebrows were charming, but the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, with a stern look. She glanced at the two daughters beside her and chuckled, "It's good to be self-aware. Remember those who dance with Mr. Li tonight. I'll tell you later." Liquidate slowly!"
"I've remembered everything. Zhishu, don't worry. As long as we help you, Mr. Li will definitely be yours."
"That's right! In terms of family background, talent and appearance, how can our Zhishu compare to those vases? If you don't say anything else, you will come out of the bathroom and meet Mr. Li by chance. As long as you smile at him, he will definitely lose his soul. ."
The two daughters were praising each other, but Xia Shao couldn't help hearing it at the bathroom door. The corners of her lips could not help but curl up, and her shoulders trembled slightly.
Coming out of the bathroom to seduce a man? These daughters are so funny! Is there no other place to choose
Xia Shao lowered her head, her smile not obvious, but she was still spotted by Dong Zhishu when she walked to the door.
She frowned immediately, and the two daughters next to her immediately changed their expressions when they saw her frowning. The daughter in pink skirt was the first to attack, "Why are you laughing!"
Xia Shao was stunned and raised her eyes. The smile on her lips did not disappear, but she slightly raised her eyebrows, "Did I laugh at you?"
The daughter in pink skirt was stunned and frowned, "Then who are you laughing at?"
"As long as I'm not laughing at you, who am I laughing at, does it have anything to do with you?" Xia Shao still looked at her with a smile and asked slowly.
The pink-skirted daughter was suffocated. She thought she had offended Dong Zhishu just now, so she stepped forward for her and wanted to teach this bodyguard a lesson. Unexpectedly, she was sharp-tongued and silenced her with two words. .
The daughter in the dark blue dress next to her sneered, glanced at the daughter of the crowd, with an expression as if she was looking at trash, then pushed her aside, raised her chin, and pointed at Xia Shao, "You are not laughing at her, then you are laughing. Who? Laughing at me or Miss Dong? "
Xia Shao still had a leisurely attitude and asked instead, "Why do you think I am laughing at you? Is what you just said funny?"
The three people were stunned by this question, but Xia Shao continued to smile, but the smile was a little deep.
"If you think what you said is not funny, then what is funny about me? Unless you also think what you just said is funny, you will think I am laughing at you."
"You!" The daughter in the dark blue dress did not expect Xia Shao to be so eloquent, and immediately became angry. She originally wanted to suppress the other daughter and vent her anger on Dong Zhishu's behalf, but she did not expect to be counterattacked by an army. She looked at Dong Zhishu and frowned. She couldn't help but glared at Xia Shao angrily, "Do you know who you are talking to? Do you know who I am? Do you know who she is!"
Xia Shao smiled and raised her eyebrows.
The other party glanced at Dong Zhishu and raised her chin proudly, "She is the daughter of the chairman of Dong's Chinese Shipbuilding Group, Dong Zhishu!"
China Shipping Group is a leading enterprise in the domestic shipping industry. It produces cruise ships, cargo ships, coastal and ocean ferries, and the group is extremely strong. Although its assets are not as good as those of Jiahui International Group, it is still ranked among the top five in Hong Kong. Anyone who hears such a group can't help but be surprised. The three of them looked shocked and flattered after hearing Dong Zhishu's identity. They also waited for Xia Shao to nod and bow.
But Xia Shao raised her eyebrows first, then smiled, and said, "What a long name! This is the first time I heard someone's name is so long. Is her surname Dong's Chinese Shipbuilding Group? Or is her surname the chairman's daughter?" "
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then they all became angry. The daughter in the dark blue dress bit her lip and quickly looked at Dong Zhishu. Dong Zhishu's face turned red, and the pink-skirted daughter next to her said angrily: "What do you mean by this! Are you insulting Dong Qianjin? Don't forget your identity! You're just a bodyguard! Believe it or not, Miss Dong asked Mr. Li Fire you?"
Xia Shao smiled and declined to comment.
"Forget it." Dong Zhishuo spoke at this time. She smiled and maintained her arrogant posture, but there was a mocking look in the corner of her eyes. "The so-called beating of a dog depends on the owner. A bodyguard is just a dog of the employer. But we still have to look at Mr. Li’s face and not argue with her.”
The two daughters next to him smiled and nodded happily. Xia Shao just lowered her eyes at this, not annoyed or angry, but kindly reminded, "Miss Dong, if you don't go into the bathroom, Master Li will come out. By then, the drama of encountering a charming man with a smile in the bathroom will be enough. It’s going to be ruined.”
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then they got down to business. But Xia Shao's words were obviously sarcastic. Dong Zhishu's face turned ugly, but she looked at Xia Shao with a smile and nodded, "He is indeed a good dog."
Xia Shao just smiled and said nothing. Dong Zhishu didn't say anything. He glanced at her and turned around on high heels to enter the women's bathroom opposite. When he turned around, he winked at the two daughters beside him. They nodded and followed her. I entered the bathroom, but didn't go inside. I just wanted to look at the door and stare.
However, when the three of them turned around, no one saw Xia Shao's fingers lightly clasp the dragon scale dagger tied to her leg, and then she made a finger gesture, and her hand trembled!
The open bathroom door was slammed shut by An Jin. The moment the door closed, the screams and miserable cries of three women falling could be heard from inside.
The moment the door closed, Li Qingyu came out of the bathroom opposite and walked to the sink to wash his hands. Xia Shao leaned against the wall and smiled leisurely, but the man gently raised his eyes while washing his hands and looked at the bright mirror at the corner of a black skirt outside the corridor.
When he came out of the bathroom, Li Qingyu walked back to the hall calmly as if he didn't hear the screams coming from the bathroom opposite. But when walking back, the man's deep voice came from behind, "I thought bodyguards rarely talk."
He obviously heard the argument between Xia Shao and Dong Zhishu. Xia Shao actually knew that he was coming out. His footsteps could not be heard by others, but they could not be hidden from her ears, so she seized the opportunity so well. Okay, the moment the door was closed, Li Qingyu came out.
She smiled at this. Li Qingyu continued: "You are really good at offending people."
Xia Shao then smiled and said, "In our profession, we are meant to offend others, and we are not afraid of offending others."
"But you are causing trouble for your employer." The man frowned almost incomprehensibly. She had offended those women. If they refused to let go and asked him for an explanation, it would be in vain for them to pester him. Chance. Moreover, if they fell inside and fell on his dance, there was a high chance that they would get stuck together.
This woman can really cause trouble for him.
"I believe Mr. Li will handle these three women. Look, you handled them much better tonight." Not only did Xia Shao not apologize at all for this, but she smiled and looked at the dance floor, implying that he was going to continue dancing again, and She had another good show to watch.
The man's steps didn't stop at all, but his lenses shone blue under the lights of the dance floor, and a bulge appeared on his forehead.
At this moment, two women walked into the lobby of the villa. They were obviously late. But as soon as the two stepped in, everyone in the hall was stunned and the atmosphere became quiet.
Li Qingyu's steady steps also paused for a rare moment. Xia Shao, who was following him, raised his head...
