On the lawn outside the villa, the two brothers Qiao Xuefeng and Qiao Xuerui were playing a game of throwing balls with the family's golden retriever, while several women under the awning were chatting casually while cleaning up the barbecue utensils. "Brother and sister, the young man who took Tingting out on a motorcycle just now is Tingting's new boyfriend, right?"

The person who asked was Xiaoting's aunt, a woman who was a little fat, and although she was nearly fifty years old, she looked like a thirty-seven or eighteen-year-old woman at first glance.

"Hehe, even if it'......" Liu Juan replied vaguely.

"What do you mean, even if it's it!" Xiaoting's aunt said dissatisfiedly: "Yes, yes, no, no, no! I think that kid is very good, if he is Tingting's boyfriend, forget it, if it's just an ordinary classmate and colleague, I want to introduce my niece to know!"

"Hey, how can that work!" Liu Juan was anxious when she heard this: "Although Xiaolong and Tingting have not yet formally established their relationship, this boy and girl are not in love as soon as they meet! Besides, he sent Tingting a birthday gift from abroad several days in advance, and he also flew from the United Kingdom to attend Tingting's birthday family party, doesn't this mean that he has thoughts about my family Tingting? I think, even if he and Tingting have not confirmed their relationship now, it is estimated that they will not wait for a long time!"

"Hey, brother and sister, look at you...... I'm just joking with you, you're serious! How can I help my niece snatch my niece's future boyfriend, this palm and the back of my hand are full of meat!" Xiaoting's aunt hurriedly smiled and changed the topic: "By the way, that child's name is Xiaolong, right? I don't know what the situation is at his family? I think this child is not only handsome, but also has a good demeanor and a gentle speech, and at a glance I know that it is not an ordinary child......"

"Of course!" As soon as she said this, Liu Juan immediately raised her toes: "Do you know whose family this child is?" His surname is Xia, and he is the third child of the younger generation of the Xia family!"

"What??, the Xia family?" Qiao Xuefeng and Qiao Xuerui, who were teasing the dog next to them, came over as soon as they heard this, and Qiao Xuerui interjected: "Auntie, the Xia family you are talking about, should it be the Xia family that has connections in the political, business, and military circles, operates heavy industry and real estate in China, operates ports and freight transportation abroad, and sells arms to the Middle East and Africa for the country in the name of a private company?"

"Uh...... Selling arms?" Liu Juan and Xiaoting's aunt were sweating a little on their foreheads when they heard this: "That's a crime, right? The Xia family can't do such a big thing that will kill the head, right?"

Qiao Xuefeng explained: "People are ordered to sell arms to foreign countries on behalf of the state, which can not only make money, but also save the country from the accusations of other hostile countries, and this is to serve the country's foreign strategy, understand? This kind of beauty difference that kills two birds with one stone is not something that ordinary companies can do, but if they can do business to such a point, they can definitely be regarded as having hands and eyes in the country!"

"Is it? their family is so powerful?" Xiaoting's aunt was taken aback when she heard this, although she had also heard some legends about the Xia family in her own circle, and she knew that the Xia family was rich and powerful, but she never knew that their family was so powerful. And Liu Juan was even more surprised and happy when she heard it, she was surprised that she didn't know that the Xia family had such a big power, and the happy thing was that if Xiaoting could marry into the Xia family in the future, then she, the mother-in-law, would inevitably double her value......

"Didi!" When everyone was gossiping about Xia Longfei's family, there were two car horns at the gate, Liu Juan turned her head to look, and saw Xiaoting driving her birthday gift Mercedes-Benz Smart parked outside the wrought iron gate of her house, and Xia Longfei driving a motorcycle accompanied her.

"Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive~" Liu Juan couldn't help but laugh proudly when she saw Xia Longfei, dropped the work in her hand and hurriedly ran over to open the door. "Tingting, do you like the birthday gift your parents gave you?" Almost unable to wait for Xiaoting and Xia Longfei to park the car, Liu Juan couldn't wait to ask.

"Of course I like it! thank you, Mom!" Xiaoting parked smart on the edge of the lawn, pulled out the car key and got out of the cab, and immediately gave Liu Juan a warm hug. "Mom, I love you to death!"

"Silly boy, look at your pleasure~" Liu Juan scratched Xiaoting's nose with her fingers dotingly, and asked, "How did you get the car key?"

Xiao Ting stuck out her tongue mischievously, and turned her head to look at Xia Longfei: "Fortunately, Brother Xiaolong went with me, and he climbed the tree to help me get the key." ”

"Climbing, climbing trees?" Liu Juan's eyes widened when she heard this, and she looked at Xiaoting and then at Xia Longfei next to her: "You didn't find the ladder we hid in advance? It's hidden in the grass next to it, it's easy to find!"

"And the ladder!" Xiao Ting and Xia Longfei exclaimed in unison, the two of them looked at each other depressedly, and then looked at each other and laughed.

"The two of us are going to die stupidly, we have to climb the tree even though there is a ladder next to us......" Xiao Ting covered her mouth and laughed.

"I should have looked around for more...... "Xia Longfei scratched the back of his head. "It's clear that it's drawn on the map, but I can't find it......"

Liu Juan watched coldly from the sidelines, and was secretly happy when she saw her daughter and the son of the Xia family "getting along very happily". I remember the first time she saw Xia Longfei or took Xiaoting on a blind date, she felt that this young man was very good, no matter the appearance, figure and temperament, it was by no means vulgar, except for the family background, there was really no way to compare with others, and her daughter Xiaoting was indeed a perfect match in all other aspects, and now she learned that the power of the Xia family was so powerful, and seeing that Xiaoting and Xia Longfei gradually got along, she was naturally optimistic in her heart.

"By the way, Aunt Liu, Xiaoting's new car doesn't seem to have a license?" Xia Longfei reminded: "Although smart is very small and not easy to attract attention, but there is no way to get on the road without a license plate, you should first go to get a temporary license plate hanging, and then go to get a formal license plate as soon as possible......"

"Oh...... The license plate is ...... There should be, it seems that Tingting's father took it back from the DMV and put it away, and it hasn't been hung up. Liu Juan really liked Xia Longfei more and more when she looked at it. "I'll go to him in a while to come over and load Tingting into the car. Xiao Xia, Tingting hasn't driven a few times since she got her driver's license, I'm really not worried about letting her drive to the street by herself, can Auntie please ask you, and then guide her in driving skills later......"

Liu Juan now deliberately wants to create an opportunity for her daughter to be alone with Xia Longfei, but Xiaoting is immediately unwilling. "Mom--" Xiaoting dragged out her voice and complained: "I'm a three-year-old driver, okay, really! I always treat your daughter as a stupid...... Where is my dad now, I'll go find him and get the license plate and put it on, and then I'll take you around the street to show you that my daughter's driving skills are not foolish!"

Seeing that her daughter was unwilling, Liu Juan quickly began to think of the next idea in her mind so that she could be with Xia Longfei, and said vaguely and casually: "Your father, your father and your colleague, the girl named Xiaolan, went to the reception room for tea, should still be there at this time......"

Oh no! Xiao Ting's heart was cold when she heard this, oh my God! Dad and Xiao Nan are alone! It is almost certain that the exchange between them will turn into a dialogue between the judge and the prisoner - of course, it also depends on Xiao Nan's endurance, if Dad says something inappropriate and breaks through the critical point of Xiao Nan's patience, with Xiao Nan's personality that will explode violently under excessive repression, maybe Dad's interrogation will eventually turn into a confrontation and merciless debate!

I have to stop my father from interrogating Xiao Nan, otherwise everything will be over!Xiao Ting turned around and rushed towards the hall on the first floor of the villa, leaving Liu Juan and Xia Longfei looking at her hurried back with a confused expression.

"Tingting, where are you going?" Liu Juan shouted from behind, but Xiao Ting's steps did not stop at all, and she ran into the door of the first floor without looking back, bypassing the relatives and friends in the hall who had not yet dispersed and the tables and chairs that had not yet had time to clean up, and took three steps and two steps and went straight to the small reception room.

Xiao Ting felt that her heart was beating wildly, and she couldn't wait to step in front of the door of the small reception room in one step - the distance from the lawn to the small reception room was less than fifty meters, but in Xiao Ting's eyes, it seemed to be ten thousand kilometers away.

It's finally here! Xiao Ting held down her heartbeat with one hand, and held the doorknob with the other hand and pushed open the door of the reception room suddenly, and suddenly a strong smell of cigarettes came to her face, in the swirling smoke, I saw Xiao Nan tugging the sleeve that was pulled up to her elbow, covering the palm of her right hand, together with her little arm whose skin was as white as snow, revealing only the tips of four jade shoot-like fingers, while Lao Qiao sat opposite Xiao Nan across the table, at this time his face was full of shocked and suspicious expressions, as if he had just seen something incredible……

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After listening to Lao Qiao's story about Cheng Xiaonan in his eyes, Xiao Nan's eyes, which were sitting opposite him and listening, gradually became empty and desperate, and his little face became pale due to the lack of blood, showing a sickly beauty. Her lips moved a few times, but she never could speak, she was silent for a long time under Lao Qiao's gaze, and finally sighed lightly, raised her face and looked at Lao Qiao opposite, and said faintly: "Thank you, Uncle Qiao, these things you told me are things that I will never hear from Ting'er...... Well, we made an appointment beforehand, and in exchange, now it's your turn to ask me questions, Uncle Joe......"

Lao Qiao nodded: "Okay, what I want to ask, I guess you can guess, now please tell me, who are you, why do you call yourself Xiaolan in front of us, pretending to be Tingting's colleague?

"That's all?" Xiao Nan laughed miserably, "I thought you would ask more...... Well, I'll tell you all about it, but where do we start? Well, let's start with this scar......"

Xiao Nan said, gently rolled up the sleeve of her right arm, spread out her slender right hand with five fingers and stretched out her palm in front of Lao Qiao, only to see a pink scar that meandered in the palm like a centipede, standing up and running through Xiao Nan's entire palm, which looked particularly shocking under the illumination of the indoor lights.
