Chapter 318: Trouble
There is a special place for banquets in the garden villa, with an area of more than 500 square meters, which is very spacious.
But even so, space is still limited. Therefore, most of the people in the banquet hall are powerful people from Dongjiang Province, or monks who have long been famous. It is a bit dwarfed by the average nouveau riche to drill into their circle.
Mi Yulan's current position is the secretary of the vice president, and it is because of Chu Li's relationship that she can mess around in the banquet hall.
It's just that the banquet hall is very large, and there are still a lot of people, not long after entering the hall, Chu Li and Mi Yulan are separated.
"Alas, I said okay to let me do this and that, but when I came in, I didn't know where I was stupid. ”
Chu Li, who was muttering in a low voice, also deliberately went to find Mi Yulan, but took some pastries and red wine in the buffet area, and found a place to sit down and eat in a daze. Looking at the people around him who were not too noisy but came and went, the scene when he participated in Grandpa Xiaohe's birthday when he was a child came to mind.
"Lord Chu Li. ”
Just as he was thinking about it, Chen Beiluo sat down next to Chu Li.
Chen Beiluo was met by Chu Li on his last trip to Yannan, he was the underworld of Yannan City, the eldest son of the Chen family among the four major families in Yannan, and the big boss behind the scenes of Yunlong Game Group.
Chu Li is playing the game "Alliance of the Chosen One" recently, which is a MOBA online game produced by Yunlong Game Group.
However, Chen Beiluo, who is the underworld, should have retreated into the background by now and no longer cares about the family business.
So Chu Li was a little surprised when he saw Chen Beiluo: "I didn't expect you to come too, I thought you would leave this kind of thing to the rest of the family." ”
Chen Beiluo took a sip of red wine, and his tone was as flat as ever: "Old Man Xiaohe always has to give face, but I didn't expect you to come, I thought that Lord Knight would continue to investigate the matter of the Dragon Vein Eight Laws." ”
"The matter of the Eight Methods of the Dragon Vein is now a bit eyebrow-raising. ”
After eating the last bite of the cake, Chu Li asked, "Why didn't I see you report to me about the things that asked you to investigate the movements of the Spirit Clan before?"
"I have the impression that all the information I have obtained from the investigation has been sent to the adult's mailbox. Chen Beiluo smiled lightly, very elegant, "But there is not much useful information." We have found a lot of strongholds of the Spirit Race in human cities all over the Qianguo, but as soon as the Spirit Race is discovered by us, they will immediately destroy the stronghold and leave, without any mud and water. We can only find clues through the clues in the stronghold, and progress is slow. ”
"It's really troublesome to make a conspiracy that looks like a tunnel war. ”
Chen Beiluo put down his knife and fork: "But seeing that the group of people of the Spirit Clan are so vigilant, they should have a lot of plans, do you need me to increase my efforts." ”
Chu Li shook his head and said calmly: "Don't be so troublesome, the affairs of the Spirit Clan can be put aside first, and let the Hades Division do what needs to be done." When the time comes, I will send the information to the spiritual practitioner, and the spiritual officer will do the rest. ”
"I see. Chen Beiluo nodded.
The two didn't talk for long, and Chen Beiluo was called away by a few monks who looked quite young, saying that they were going to listen to a lecture secretly given to the monks.
Chu Li didn't follow, for Chu Li, who was already a monk in the Sage Realm, the pastries in the banquet hall were much more interesting than any cultivation lectures.
The wealthy Xiao family will not restrain when it comes to spending money, this birthday
The chefs invited to the banquet are all at the level of a state banquet, and the price of each side dish is absolutely unbelievable to the ordinary people.
Although it seems that the Xiao family is showing off their family property and is extravagant and wasteful, in fact, most of the treasures sent by the guests are priceless things.
Feeling that the pastries in the banquet hall were quite appetizing, Chu Li decided to get some more, but he had just stood up and turned around, and Mrs. Ning, who had come to the banquet but didn't know Chu Li, bumped directly into his side.
"Yikes!"
Mrs. Ning, who bumped into Chu Li, took two steps back, and the red wine in the wine glass in her hand flew out. Chu Li has resentment on his body, and red wine can't stain his body at all. But Mrs. Ning was not so lucky, the white and yellow evening dress on her body was stained with red wine, which looked ugly.
Chu Li glanced at Mrs. Ning, who was stunned, and had no intention of dealing with her in his heart, so he turned around to leave.
At this time, Mrs. Ning was not happy, she stepped forward and grabbed Chu Li's shoulder: "Hey, I said what happened to you as a waiter, don't you know how to apologize if you hit someone!"
Chu Li glanced back at the woman, and said lightly: "It was you who hit me, I didn't apologize to you, don't be anti-guest." ”
Although Chu Li was right, the lady who thought highly of herself would never admit that she had hit someone, let alone a "waiter".
"I hit someone, and that eye of yours saw that I hit someone. Mrs. Ning clasped her hands to her chest, and her attitude was quite arrogant, "Oh, I know, you don't want to pay compensation, so you make it up, right?" Don't even think about it, hurry up and lose money!"
The noble lady Mrs. Ning's voice was very sharp, and it immediately attracted the onlookers of the surrounding people.
Ning Zhi, who noticed the abnormality, walked over quickly, he was about thirty years old, he was Mrs. Ning's husband, and he was also the eldest son of the Ning family in Dongjiang City.
"What's the matter, you don't look at the occasion when you shout. Ning Zhi stepped forward and grabbed Mrs. Ning's hand.
"Ning Zhi, you're here just in time. Mrs. Ning grabbed Ning Zhi's hand, pointed her finger at Knight and shouted, "It's him, not only stained the new clothes you bought for me, but also refused to admit it, it's really a stinky and shameless poor thing." ”
Ning Zhi patted the hand of his wife, who had come from a commercial marriage, and looked Chu Li's demeanor and clothes up and down with his eyes.
Ning Zhi, who didn't want to make trouble at the Xiao family's banquet, sighed and said, "You are the waiter here, right, my wife's dress is very expensive, and I don't think you can afford it." In that case, if you go outside and kneel down and kowtow to my wife to admit your mistake, this matter will pass like this, and there is no need to make everyone unhappy. ”
"That's right, that's right!" Mrs. Ning continued, her face becoming strange, "Come outside with me, if you want to apologize sincerely, I don't mind forgiving you." Remember, it's about apologizing sincerely. ”
Chu Li looked at the two members of the Ning family quietly, the expressions on his faces did not change, and he didn't take them into account at all.
Putting the plates and glasses in his hand on the table, Chu Li held his glasses and said lightly: "I have already said that it was not me who hit people, so there is no need to apologize." ”
"What kind of dong are you-"
Halfway through speaking, Ning Zhi hurriedly grabbed the lady who was about to be rude, Ning Zhi frowned and said to Chu Li: "Since this is the case, it will be easier to deal with it, lose money." My wife's gift is not expensive, I am looking for a designer private custom, there are 180,000. ”
Chu Li sighed, and he no longer had the heart to talk to the other party: "I don't give a penny of money, and I don't have anything to do."
Stand as an eyesore. ”
"Hey, you!"
Just as Ning Zhi was about to hold Chu Li, who was about to turn around and leave, the guests in the banquet hall suddenly sounded the sound of commotion.
"Yes, it's Miss Xiao Yi. ”
"Wow, that's beautiful. ”
In order to match the garden-style banquet hall, Xiao Yi, the eldest lady of the Xiao family, who came down from upstairs, was wearing an antique-style long skirt-style dress. The makeup and headwear are specially designed and custom-made, so it is matched with Xiao Yi with the cute taste of being a student, and the charm of the ancient style of the eldest lady.
There was also a girl behind Xiao Yi, who was her best friend Ling'er, wearing the same costume as Xiao Yi.
When Ning Zhi turned around and saw the charming and touching Xiao Yishi, his heart immediately became nervous, and there was a feeling of love at first sight in his heart.
What surprised Ning Zhi even more was that when Xiao Yi's eyes fell on her side, a happy smile appeared in her expression, and she also trotted towards him with a jump. Ning Zhi suddenly had a delusion, he felt that the peak of his life was coming.
But just as Ning Zhi was about to walk towards Xiao Yi, the eldest lady of the Xiao family actually passed him directly and threw herself into Chu Li's arms.
Seeing such a scene, not to mention Ning Zhi was surprised, all the guests present who didn't know Chu Li had their mouths open, and their eyes were about to protrude.
The guests really couldn't understand why the daughter of the Xiao family was so favored by the hairy boy who was a "waiter". Could it be that the eldest lady fell in love with the poor boy's bloody drama?
Xiao Yi, who hadn't seen his brother for a long time, shrank into Chu Li's arms and said, "If you don't reply to my message, I thought you wouldn't come." ”
Chu Li smiled and stroked Xiao Yi's hair: "Someone pulled me here, by the way, come and see the old man of Xiao He." ”
"That's... That one... Miss Siu. The corners of his eyes twitched, and Ning Zhi, who was sweating on his forehead, wanted to come forward and talk.
"Hey, who are you?" didn't mean to be rational at all, Xiao Yi asked Chu Li, "Is this your friend?"
Chu Li raised his head and said disdainfully: "It's someone I don't know at all, just now he wanted me to kneel down and kowtow to him to apologize, there is no other intersection except this." ”
"Kowtow, apologize?" Xiao Yi said with a smile, "There are still people who don't have long eyes." ”
Hearing that the tone was wrong, Ning Zhi hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "No, it's not like this, Miss Xiao, don't listen to this kid's nonsense, he hit people first." ”
"Get down on your knees and apologize!"
Before Ning Zhi finished speaking, Xiao Yi's tone became sharp, and the source power was released at the same time, "Otherwise, your family won't want to mix in Dongjiang Province!"
Now this banquet hall is the land of the Xiao family, bullying the Xiao family in the Xiao family's territory, Xiao Yi must make a statement whether he is a sister or a child of the Xiao family.
That Ning Zhi is also a monk, but his strength is much worse than Xiao Yi, he carried the source force oppression and gritted his teeth and said: "Damn, Xiao Yi, your Xiao family is just the king and hegemony in Fengling City, don't think that our Dongjiang Ning family will be afraid of you." It's a big deal that we'll see you in the mall to see who tears whose face. ”
"The Dongjiang Ning family is really arrogant enough. ”
Ning Zhicai finished speaking, and someone walked to Chu Li's side: "Then what if you add the words of our Xu family?"
