Chapter 173: Lang's heart is like a knife
About half an hour later, a crisp bell rang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The guests in the courtyard were curious to find the location of the bell. In the open space in the middle of the courtyard, there is a stunningly tall Christmas tree, and countless small golden stars are shining on the tree. These little stars are made of crystal clear, and they shine like stars, shining so brightly that the leaves seem to be invisible. In the space between the crystal stars, hundreds of snowmen, angels, robins, etc., made of ruby sapphires, diamonds, and pearls, are decorated.
In addition, the weather bottles in the courtyard are also wrapped with golden string lights. The lights come on at the same time, creating a dazzling array of lights, transforming the crown into a dreamy fairytale world.
Before the guests could find the bell, five planes painted red and white suddenly appeared in the sky. These planes, dressed like Santa Claus, flew up and down, as if to cheer for Christmas Eve.
Then, many people exclaimed, because the planes spray-painted a line of white neat words in the sky: Merry-Christmas-Eve!
Against the backdrop of the blue sky, the crystal white characters appear particularly clear and elegant. Gao Jin and the others glanced at each other, and then they understood why Wan Guohou wanted to arrange people to carry out artificial rain removal.
The guests applauded. Yue Shuluo glanced at Wan Guohou in surprise, because she didn't know about the arrangement of these spray planes in advance. "But why did Master Hou bypass me and make such a design?"
As she pondered, the applause grew louder, and Yue Shuluo watched in amazement as the second line of words appeared in the sky.
"Happy-birthday!" At the end of this line, there is a crescent moon.
Wan Guohou walked up to her side and said softly, "Happy birthday." β
Yue Shuluo was stunned for five seconds before she reacted, today was her birthday. Her eyes suddenly heat up because she hadn't celebrated her birthday in years.
She tilted her face and looked at the smiling man in front of her. This handsome face struck her as familiar and strange as she could, and though she had seen this man in the morning and dusk, she had seen him every day, but she did not know him. Although there was a hug in the depths of winter, a kiss on the beach, a tribulation in the underground palace, and the joy of Halloween, she still couldn't enter the heart of the marquis. And her own heart, unconsciously, quietly fell.
"Thank you. Yue Shuluo said in a daze, "Really." β
Wan Guohou patted her gently, "Don't you open the gift?"
Yue Shuluo looked in surprise at Wan Guohou's line of sight and saw a clearing in front of the Christmas tree. She turned her head to look at Wan Guohou, who smiled and nodded.
The moon slowly walked towards the Christmas tree, and the guests spontaneously made way for her.
When she walked three or four meters away from the Christmas tree, a rumbling vibration suddenly sounded, and she subconsciously took a few steps back.
I saw two doors slid open on the ground, revealing a hole of more than ten square meters, and then, an automatic lifting platform slowly rose up and filled the hole. There was a car parked on the lifting platform, covered with a piece of golden silk, which was tightly shielded.
"Ho. Wan Guohou's birthday present to his mistress on Christmas Eve was a car. "Someone is whispering.
Yueshu stepped forward and pulled hard, and the silk fell to the ground, revealing a black Lykan-Hypersport.
"Wow!" cried out many of the men who were closer.
"Is this car very powerful?" Tao Baihe asked a little unconvinced, "It looks like it was driven by a man, the color is dark, and the lines are hard." β
Nan Zeyu smiled bitterly, "People who know cars probably know that there are only seven of these cars in the world." β
"And then?" Tao Baihe asked.
"The car accelerates to 100 km/h in 2.8 seconds. Yu Jingbo glanced at Tao Baihe, "Mrs. Nan, the top speed of this car can reach 395 kilometers per hour, which is very good." β
"If I'm not mistaken, the engine was supplied by Porsche, and the company seems to be from Dubai. Gao Jin said, "The price, I don't know if the Hou Ye bought it in China or brought it from abroad." If you buy it directly in China, plus tariffs, it is estimated that it will be close to 70 million. β
At this moment, even You Jinlan couldn't help but exclaim, "What an expensive car." β
"Well, the characteristic of this car is that it is expensive, nothing else. Gao Jin said.
Nan Zeyu glanced at him disapprehantly, "Don't you see? All the lights of this car are inlaid with gems. It is said that there are about 200 of them in each lamp. In addition, the interior of the car is basically made of titanium alloy and carbon fiber, and the stitching on the chairs is pure gold. β
You Jinlan thought of the cheongsam that Yue Shuluo had fallen, and suddenly felt a little sour in her heart. "Master Hou is so generous. β
"Miss You, are you complaining about Mr. Gao?" Yu Jingbo joked.
You Jinlan panicked, she instinctively glanced at Gao Jin, but saw that the latter was looking at her thoughtfully, and that look frightened her. She suddenly remembered her dead daughter, so she quickly explained: "No, I just said it casually." Mr. Gao is also very generous to me. β
"Mr. Gao. Yu Jingbo smiled narrowly, "Isn't it time to send a car?"
You Jinlan was so frightened that she waved her hand again and again, "I don't know how to drive, Dean Yu, don't make fun of me." β
Gao Jin hugged her shoulders, "Lan Lan, Xiao Yu is teasing you, don't take it seriously." β
At this moment, it is already dark, and the car looks particularly luxurious under the glow of the Christmas tree lights. Yue Shuluo wondered in her heart: How did Wan Guohou know that she liked cars, and that she liked this kind of hard-line sports car full of futuristic technology? She had never talked about similar topics on any occasion, could it be that Wan Guohou could read minds?
While she was still thinking, a drone flew over her head. In the midst of everyone's laughter, Yue Shuluo took down a small box from the drone, opened it, and saw that it was the car key.
Tsukishu walked to the left side of the car and opened the door.
In the driver's seat, there is a pyramid about the height of a human half. At first glance, the pyramid is made up of several separate boxes put together. At the bottom, the box is recognized as a perfume, in the middle is a box of cosmetics and skincare products, and on the top is a jewelry box.
She carefully took the pyramid out and placed it on the hood.
"Wow. "This time, it's the women who are screaming.
At the very top of this pyramid is a box without a brand logo.
Yue Shuluo curiously took off the box, opened it, and she immediately pursed her lips and smiled.
Lying quietly in the box was a delicate Damascus knife.
Tsukishuluo took out the knife, and the beautiful pattern on the blade looked like the sea that had been blown by the wind. There were several lines of extremely small words engraved on the handle of the knife, and when she looked closer, it was two sentences in Chinese.
"Use it lightly, it will hurt when you move, and it is a murder weapon;
It is a sharp weapon to hide it and decide on the spot. β
Yue Shuluo's heart moved, she hadn't read these poems before, but obviously Wan Guohou would not order someone to carve a few words on it.
She held the knife, looked at the pyramid, and couldn't help but smile slightly: this is really a wonderful birthday present.
At this moment, the jingling bell rang again, and Wan Guohou raised his cup, "Thank you for coming, and may you all have a happy Christmas Eve!" His voice echoed throughout the courtyard, as if he were beside each guest.
Yue Shuluo beckoned a few servants and ordered them to put away the cart and the rest of the things, and then, with the dagger in her hand, she returned to Wan Guohou's side with a smile. "Master Hou, you really understand me. β
"My woman, I don't understand, who understands?" Wan Guohou's words sparked a heartfelt laugh.
"Master Hou, I'll miss you first. β
Wan Guohou knew that she was going to put down the knife, so he nodded, "Don't make me wait too long. He saw that Yue Shuluo's face was slightly red, so he wanted to tease her.
He pulled Yue Shuluo to the side, "You really shouldn't have left the car so quickly." β
"Why?"
"You should look at the trunk, it's full of bags, and there's surprises in it. Wan Guohou seemed a little dissatisfied, "But you hurriedly closed the car door. β
Yue Shuluo was slightly embarrassed, "I forgot that today is my birthday." To be honest, your arrangement makes me a little flustered. β
Wan Guohou looked at her deeply, "But I just like to see you flustered." β
Yue Shuluo bowed without saying a word, then turned to leave the crowd. She held the cold dagger, and only felt her heart beat so hard that she had to force herself to take several deep breaths before she calmed down a bit.
She originally wanted to go to the empty building to change a pair of dancing shoes, and put away the knife by the wayβwith the permission of Wan Guohou, Yue Shuluo had already moved to the first floor of the empty building. But she also thought that after the guests were gone in the evening, K1 and Z2 would definitely want to see the knife. After thinking about it, Yue Shuluo decided to go to the Crown's study first, put the knife there, and then go to the empty building to change shoes.
When Yue Shuluo walked up the stairs on the first floor of the crown, someone stopped her.
"I'm sorry for the trouble. β
Yue Shuluo turned around and saw a middle-aged man. Although he was wearing a neat uniform, his appearance made Tsukishuluo feel a little uneasy. Because, this man has a conspicuous scar on his brow, which looks like it was caused by a knife wound.
Yue Shuluo quickly recalled. For the Christmas Eve banquet, Crown borrowed dozens of employees from "Your-Table" to help. Although she had seen the list and photos of all the employees, she could not remember the face in front of her in any way.
She glanced at the man's badge, "Your-Table?"
"Hmm. β
Yue Shuluo frowned, she didn't like this man very much, but she couldn't make sure that her memory was not wrong. Thinking of this, she asked with a polite and detached smile, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
The middle-aged man grinned, "I saw a person passing out at the corner of the stairs, and he looked like his clothes were like your staff. I'm also not good at hitting 120 or something. β
Although the middle-aged man's words were a little strange, Yue Shuluo immediately understood what he meant. She smiled gratefully, "Thanks for the reminder, I'll take a look right away." On which side of the stairs?"
"I can't say either, you're too big here, please come with me. β
When Yue Shuluo followed the middle-aged man to the corner of the stairs on the second floor, she saw a cart parked not far away. Next to the cart, a man sat on the ground with his head hanging against the wall. Yue Shuluo was very puzzled, she couldn't understand why this person would push the dining cart to the second floor, obviously the guests were in the courtyard at the moment.
"Sir......" As soon as Yue Shuluo opened her mouth to speak, she was hit the back of the head, she turned around in surprise, then shook a little, fell to the ground, and fainted.
"Get up, quick. The middle-aged man immediately shouted at the person sitting on the ground, "Xiaobao, hurry up." β
Xiao Bao suddenly bounced up, and he quickly helped Hua Chang, that is, the middle-aged man, to tie Yue Shuluo to the lower level of the cart, and then stuffed a large ball of napkins into Yue Shuluo's mouth, making sure that she couldn't speak when she woke up.
Then, Xiao Bao took out the tablecloth tied in advance from his waist and covered it on the dining car. The cloth was so large that it completely covered the dining cart.
While the two were busy, a young girl asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
This voice almost scared Hua Chang and Xiao Bao away. Hua Chang subconsciously turned his head and saw a girl wearing a cherry pink gauze skirt, he frowned, and then immediately squeezed out a smile, "Little sister, can you do us a favor?"
The girl is Gao Xiangqi, she was originally going to go to the bathroom, because there are many people on the first floor who are using it, but she didn't expect to meet Huachang.
"Are you in trouble?"
"Yes. Hua Chang pretended to be embarrassed, "The two of us wanted to push the dining cart out, but it seemed that we couldn't push it." β
"The dining car has wheels, is it broken?" Gao Xiangqi enthusiastically suggested.
"I don't really understand. Huachang deliberately smirked and said, "It's my first time working here, and this car seems to be very complicated." β
"What's so complicated about a dining car?" Gao Xiangqi sneered.
"I'm weird, too. Hua Chang held the dining cart with his hand, "Can you help me look at the wheels?" I have to hold on to the cart, I'm afraid it will run around. β
Gao Xiangqi gave him a strange look, but still bent down to check the wheels of the dining car. At the moment when she bent over, Hua Chang hit her head with his elbow without hesitation. Gao Xiangqi didn't even have time to scream, and collapsed on the ground.
"Now, we have to prepare two food trucks. Huachang said.
"It's annoying. Xiao Bao sighed, "No, Brother Chang, why do we tie up one more?" He seemed to have a cold, and his speech sounded like an urn.
"Look at her clothes, she must also be a rich man's child, if she can ask for more money, why not?" Hua Chang stiffened his face, "Don't mess around, hurry up and go to the kitchen and steal a food truck again!"
Xiao Bao didn't say anything, turned around and went to the kitchen.
A few minutes later, two men in "Your-Table" uniforms each pushed a dining cart covered with a tablecloth and walked out of the main building of the Crown.
In the courtyard, the clothes were fragrant, the sideburns were shining, and there was laughter, and no one noticed these two guys.
They pushed the dining cart to the side door of the crown, where a pickup van was parked. When the driver saw the two of them, he immediately got out of the car and opened the rear compartment, then took out a wooden board from the compartment and put it on the edge of the carriage. The two pushed the dining cart onto the pickup van and put away the planks. Then, after a few words to the driver, they closed the door of the rear compartment.
The driver happily sat in the cab, started the truck, and drove out into the night.
