The cat ghost's vitality was seriously injured and he was imprisoned in the Golden Jade Exquisite Tower. Xia Shao wanted to find the person who caused the poison, but he needed to find someone.
In just over a month since I arrived in the capital, I have encountered two cases of poisonous magic. The probability is not high. And for long-lost spells like cat ghost Gu, Xia Shao intuitively should look for Yi Ni.
But it was a holiday. Xia Shao returned to Capital University early in the morning and came to the dormitory building of the Department of Biology, only to be told that Yi Ni was not in the dormitory. Where she went, her roommates said they didn't know, but they just said she disappeared after the holiday.
Xia Shao did not reveal what he was looking for for Yi Ni. He just smiled and nodded to his roommate, thanked her and left.
On the other hand, the roommate looked at Xia Shao's leaving figure and curled his lips. He really couldn't understand how Yi Ni, a lonely girl with a sharp look, a poisonous mouth, and not being so gregarious, could win Xia Shao's favor.
After Xia Shao left Beijing University, she and Xu Tianyin went to the mall to buy some gifts. They were going to Xu's house for dinner at noon, so it was not easy to go empty-handed.
As for Mr. Pan's son, Xia Shao injured the cat ghost at night, which was of great help to his health. If she guessed correctly, he should get better today. After she came out of Xu's house, she planned to go to the hospital to send Zhang Lingfu there.
The itinerary was arranged in this way, but when Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin were shopping in the mall, they received a call from the manager of Huayuan Private Club, saying that an official named Zheng wanted to see her. Only then did Xia Shao remember that at the dance the day before yesterday, she had seen signs that this man's relative was possessed by evil spirits, and gave him the business card of the Huayuan Private Club, because she was going to Professor Zhou's house the next day, and Xia Shao went there with someone. Made an appointment today. But something bad happened today. The old man invited her to visit Xu's house.
Xia Shao had no choice but to reschedule the appointment for tomorrow. After hanging up the phone, she felt a little lost.
Xu Tianyin accompanied her and asked, "What?"
Xia Shao came back to her senses and said: "Brother, do you still remember Director Zheng who came to see me on the day of the dance? I saw that his relatives showed signs of being possessed by evil spirits, and he and that person both had financial problems. Do you think... will it happen again? Is it Gu?”
Xia Shao had to think this way, it was all such a coincidence. Cat ghost Gu is a magic that seeks wealth and harms life, but the things encountered in the past two days are all related to human life, evil spirits, and finances, which makes it difficult for people to think about it.
"It's possible." Xu Tianyin reached out to help her put away the phone, raised his hand to straighten the soft hair beside her ears, and said, "Don't think too much before going to see it."
Xia Shao immediately smiled, her eyebrows warm and soft, "I know, don't be distracted. Today's time is all yours."
The man looked at her with a faint smile on his lips, and his soft eyes that were completely inconsistent with his aloof temperament attracted the girls in the mall to turn around frequently with stunning eyes.
Xia Shao raised her eyebrows slightly, took Xu Tianyin's arm, and the two of them continued shopping.
And while the two of them were busy shopping in the mall, the Xu family was also busy.
Xia Shao came to have dinner today at noon. It was the first time for three generations of the Xu family to bring a girl to the house. The old man was very happy and called the security guards early in the morning. The old man, who had always been simple, began to pick on the color of his clothes.
"No, no, no, it's navy blue. It makes me, an old man, too serious." Xu Kangguo looked at the navy blue Tang suit in the guard's hand and waved his hand.
The guard stared at him and held back for several moments before he said, "You are always serious."
Ma Liuer exchanged for a red Tang suit, but was rejected again.
"No, no, no, it's too eye-catching. It's a joke to that girl." Xu Kangguo waved his hand again, rejecting it!
The guard choked and said, "Old chief, are you overthinking it? Miss Xia came to see you today. You are an elder. How can she laugh at you? Do you think you are still in the park?"
Xu Kangguo glared, straightened his face, and said seriously, "How dare you guarantee that she won't laugh? If she laughs, my old face will be lost, and will I lose my job as a security guard?"
The guard choked again. Although he knew it was a joke, he was still helpless. The old chief is acting like a child today, look at how happy he is. This is just his grandson bringing his grandson-in-law back to visit him. If it were really time to get married, wouldn't he be so happy that he couldn't smile from ear to ear
Xu Kangguo is usually frugal, and he still maintains the old tradition. His clothes are mostly white and gray, and there are really few other styles. Finally, the guard found a light brown short-sleeved Tang shirt with a dark red Chinese quintessence pattern printed on it. The old man looked at it and then sighed, "That's it."
After putting it on, he went to the study with his hands behind his back.
When he arrived at the study, the old man did not sit down. Instead, he walked straight to the window, put his hands behind his hands and looked away, looking in the direction outside the red wall.
Blue sky, red tiles, and quiet sunshine.
It was only half morning, so Xu Tianyin and Xia Shao would not come so early, but Xu Yanshao and Xu Yanying arrived early.
The old man personally told Xia Shao to come to Xu's house for dinner. Regardless of whether they wanted to or not, they must arrive early today. Lest the old man say they are neglectful.
Xu Yanying was happy today and wore festive clothes. On the other hand, Xu Yanshao's family looked much calmer. Especially Xu Tianzhe, standing at the back, seemed a little silent. The Xu family all thought that he was in a low mood because of the criticism from the old man yesterday. However, they did not know that Xu Tianzhe received a piece of news when he went back yesterday.
On the night of the dance, something happened to that official who was talking nonsense!
car accident.
People died.
When Xu Tianzhe received the report, he was stunned for a while. Thinking of Xia Shao's words, he intuitively felt that this matter had something to do with her. But he also felt that even if she was brave enough to beat Liu Lan at the dance, she wouldn't dare to kill a capital official, right
Thinking about it this way, Xu Tianzhe felt that maybe he was overthinking it, and maybe it was a coincidence.
However, when he got the detailed car accident report, he was stunned in the study.
The officer was involved in a car accident, but it was not a car accident. As the old folk saying goes, this person deserves to die. The King of Hell wanted to take his life, and he couldn't escape no matter what.
This man came out of his home in the morning and was inexplicably injured by a flower pot falling from a tall building. After being sent to the hospital, his injuries were not serious and he could go home after a few stitches. But unfortunately, on his way home in the car, he had a car accident. The driver was fine, but he was seriously injured. The traffic police came to deal with the accident, and the driver called an ambulance. After the hospital car arrived, it was logical that he would be taken to the hospital for treatment.
But the strange thing is that the ambulance also had a car accident halfway!
What's even more strange is that all the people in the car, including the driver, were fine, but he was seriously injured and died.
It is strange that three accidents happened to the same person in one day. Everyone in the car with him was fine, but it was strange that something happened to him.
However, such accidents were treated as ordinary traffic accidents. Because there were no human traces, it could only be treated as an ordinary accident. No one would doubt that the surveillance cameras on the road clearly recorded the tragedies caused by two very ordinary traffic accidents.
But Xu Tianzhe sat in the study, staring at the accident report in his hand, and did not move for a long time.
At this moment, his mind was blank for a moment.
At this moment, after the blank space, the only images in his mind were Xia Shao's meaningful smile, her fingers with strange patterns, and the gentle flick of her fingers.
Leisurely and casually, he just had a deep meaning at that time. At this time, along with the accident report on the table, a murderous aura appeared.
The wind blew in from the window and stirred the accident report on the table. The clattering sound was so scary in the silence that it actually made Xu Tianzhe break into a cold sweat for the first time in his life.
He is not a greedy and timid person. He was born in the Xu family, scheming and scheming amidst political strife, walking on the edge of intrigues and traps, falling into the trap himself, or letting others fall into the trap. When he raised his hand, the knife fell, but this knife was invisible. He could smell the blood, but he didn't need to see the blood with his own eyes.
But today, he saw the pictures of the accident scene on the table with his own eyes, and his eyes were filled with blood. If it were just an ordinary car accident, a person's death, no matter how bloody, might not stir up a wave of waves in his heart. But at this moment, his heart was in chaos, all because he knew the inside story of the accident.
It won't take long for this matter to be treated as an ordinary traffic accident, filed, finalized, and sealed. No one would mention it again, and even if they did, it would just be a strange thing and a bad luck thing.
He is the only one in the world who knows that things are not simple.
But he couldn't say it, and he couldn't speak to anyone even though he was dead in his stomach. He was the third generation of the Xu family, how could he say such a thing
Besides, even if he could, Xu Tianzhe wouldn't know how to say it.
"Mayor Xu, you are not a smart sister, you should be a smart person. Pay attention to the man who mentions his death anniversary today."
This was what she said to him in the bathroom that day. Until then, Xu Tianzhe understood what she meant - this was her threat. She had an unpredictable ability and could cause people to die inexplicably with just a flick of her finger. She was warning him not to do anything a smart person shouldn't do. But this is also a signal she gave him. Is it a demonstration of the benefits she can bring to the Xu family by marrying into the Xu family
Xu Tianzhe closed the document, and his normally gentle and smiling brows were now deep and unpredictable.
Tomorrow, she will be a guest at Xu's house. It seems that we need to talk.
…
It was eleven o'clock when Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin arrived at Xu's house.
Earlier, a Hongqi car drove into Xu Tianyin's community and stopped at the door of his villa. Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin not only bought gifts, but also bought clothes for the family banquet. They returned to the villa to change, but unexpectedly, the old man actually sent a car to pick them up.
The guard who got out of the car looked familiar. He was one of the office workers jogging in the park that day. Xia Shao looked familiar, but she just smiled and nodded without saying anything. The guard was stunned when he saw Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin coming out of the house.
The two of them were not dressed grandly. They thought they would be a couple wearing suits and leather shoes, but they turned out to be just wearing casual clothes.
Xu Tianyin was not wearing a military uniform, but a simple black shirt, with the cuffs rolled up casually and the collar unbuttoned, completely homely.
Xia Shao wasn't wearing a dress either, but instead wore a long white skirt, a white T-shirt, and a short-sleeved pink shirt. Her hair was not tied up, but it just hung naturally down her shoulders. When she smiled, her eyes were slightly curved, quiet and soft. .
Not to mention what kind of family the Xu family is, even if it is an ordinary family, when a girl meets her husband's family for the first time, it is logical that she should dress up in a grand manner, but Xia Shao did the opposite and just wore ordinary clothes.
This surprised the guard, but then he smiled and nodded slightly.
I have to say, this girl is really transparent and smart. The old man was an upright and simple man. He disliked his younger children dressing like nobles in front of him. The family banquet was very ordinary. If any younger man dared to show up wearing a dress for a ball, he would definitely receive a political lesson from the old man.
This girl has just met the old man once, and she already knows what he likes. I have to say that she is really smart.
The Xu family came to pick her up in person. If the outside world knew about this, it would be a shock. It is a great honor for the old man to take it so seriously. But when Xia Shao came out of the villa until she got in the car, she always had a smile on her face. She was not surprised or proud, and her demeanor of being unfazed by humiliation made the guards a little impressed along the way.
I remember when he became the old chief's guard, when they met for the first time, he was so nervous that he couldn't sleep at night. This girl, no wonder the old man said she has the bearing of a mistress.
The black Hongqi car drove smoothly on the bustling streets of the capital. Although people coming and going could tell at a glance that it was an official's car, they had no idea that the car would drive into the towering red wall. That very few national leaders A place where people come and go.
The car drove into the red wall smoothly and was not blocked except for routine inspections. Xia Shao was sitting in the comfortable back seat, next to a man with a lonely temperament. She just looked at him and smiled.
This place was so far away from Xia Shao in her previous life. But for her in this life, with people by her side, she is not afraid of wherever she goes.
Xu Tianyin looked at Xia Shao, held her hand, and said, "I'm here."
Xia Shao understood what he meant. He was afraid that she would be in trouble if she went to Xu's house, so he mentioned it to support her. Xia Shao smiled warmly, and when she looked up again, she found a renovated Chinese-Western style house in front of her. There were guards at the door, standing straight, and the car slowly stopped at the door.
After getting off the car and entering the door, the guard's gaze remained motionless, his military posture as majestic as a mountain. Xu Tianyin and Xia Shao carried their luggage and were led in by the security guard. Along the way, they listened to him introduce the history of the house, its cultural customs, the story of the renovation, and the distribution of the house. Then we went to the Xu family living room.
In the living room, there is a red screen, mahogany sofa, light gold carpet, and Chinese-style decoration. The grandeur reflects the solemnity of the founding father's family.
On the sofa, the old man, wearing a solemn short-sleeved Tang shirt, sat in the center. Under him were the Xu family seats. On the left were four elders, two men and two women. On the right were Xu Tianzhe and Liu Lan.
Xu Tianyin came in holding Xia Shao's hand. Both of them were holding gifts. The guard invited the person in and said goodbye before retreating to prepare for the luncheon.
In the living room, as soon as Xia Shao came in, the old man spoke first before she could see him.
The old man's eyes fell on the expensive gift in Xia Shao's hand, and he taught him a lesson as soon as he spoke, "Young people, when you make some money, you don't know how to be frugal. If you have money to buy these useless things, it is better to do more charity. Buy more textbooks for those children who don’t have enough to eat and don’t have money to study.”
These words sounded normal, but the Xu family was shocked!
Logically speaking, Xia Shao should have paid her respects to the old man first, but the old man spoke first. Although his words were meant to be admonishing, he gave her great face. This sounds like he is instructing Xia Shao, but in fact it is telling the whole family a signal - he can not show off and let the whole family put away their high self-esteem.
The Xu family could not help but be frightened, and they all looked at Xia Shao and looked at her.
Duan saw that this girl had picturesque features and a soft temperament. She was more attractive than she looked in the reports. In terms of appearance, I have to say that it deserves full marks. It's just that what you're wearing today...isn't it a little too homely? A little less respectful
Xu Yanshao looked at Xia Shao with a smile and a deep look in his eyes. He knew that this girl was young and accomplished a lot. But because of this, she has been in the upper class circles for many years, so she should understand the ways of the world. Why did you come to the Xu family like this today? Even if the old man doesn't like the younger generation to wear those dresses, it doesn't hurt to wear them when meeting the elders for the first time. Does she really not understand this, or does she have ulterior motives
Hua Fang couldn't help but curl her lips slightly. It really was related to his birth background. No matter how good he looked or how high his achievements were, he was still a petty person on the inside.
Liu Zhenghong glanced at the second wife and his wife and said nothing. The old man likes this kind of thing, and it’s not like they don’t know it. Although I don’t know why this girl is dressed so homely today, she undoubtedly suits the old man’s liking.
But, did this girl do it by mistake, or did she do it on purpose
If it was done on purpose, then it was quite thoughtful.
The family looked at Xia Shao, their thoughts turning around, and waited for Xia Shao's reply.
I wonder how she would respond to the old man's instructions
But what the Xu family didn't expect was that Xia Shao raised her eyebrows when she heard this, looked at the old man and smiled, with her usual expression and a joking tone, "I know that when I enter the door, I will have to receive an ideological education from you, isn't that right? Look, I brought him Gifts are meant to soothe the nerves and eliminate anger.”
Xu Kangguo glared and almost choked. His eyes fell on those gifts, which was really soothing. This girl, when she gave him a gift, she didn't forget to trouble the old man, making him face these gifts every day and reflect on how little ideological education he had given to others
"Hmph! You haven't even entered the house yet, and you think my old man is nagging you?"
"How dare you nag me so much? If you don't ask me to get up at five o'clock in the morning, I can just play Tai Chi with you all the time." Xia Shao said with a smile.
Seeing her smiling face, Xu Kangguo became very angry and scolded her with a straight face: "Is it wrong to ask you to get up at five o'clock in the morning? Young man, you should get up early!"
Xia Shao seemed to be waiting for the old man's words, and immediately brought up the gift and smiled, "It's okay for young people to get up early. You are old. You are weak when you get up early. Taking some soothing supplements is good for your health."
"Letting you practice Tai Chi with an old man will teach you to be filial!"
