"But then, Li Qiusheng will also be there."

Mo Nian pondered for a moment before remembering which character Li Qiusheng was. It has only been less than a month since the incident, and presumably Li Qiusheng will not be so forgetful, so he forgets the pain of losing his son: "What is Mr. worried about? ”

"I'm worried that I can't say it, I just want to remind Miss Mo in advance, and then decide whether to go or not." Duan Huaining naturally hoped that Mo Nianning would go, if Li Qiusheng saw it at such a drinking party, the person he was looking for was right in front of him, but he didn't dare to do it.

He couldn't miss such a wonderful expression.

"Didn't the gentleman say that he would bring his wife to attend? If I don't go, do I want that Mr. Duan Nian over there to disguise himself as a woman and enter with you? Mo Nianning's tone was calm when he spoke, Duan Huaining glanced back at Duan Nian beside him, he didn't know what picture appeared in his mind, and laughed "poof".

"A few days ago, Mr. Li did trace me, and I have heard about it, but when the young master was killed, I was entangled by Mr. Li's people, if I am the murderer, I am afraid that I will be unskilled. That being the case, with a clear conscience, why hide and hide, isn't there no three hundred taels of silver here? ”

Mo Nianning said sincerely, but Duan Huaining listened carefully, and a satisfied smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Then what if I tell Li Qiusheng that Miss Mo is a person from the soul pawnshop?" ”

"Then, sir, it should be you who should be worried."

"Oh? How so? ”

Mo Nianning looked at the person in front of him, and couldn't figure out whether he really didn't understand, or if he was deliberately pretending to be stupid to test her: "A businessman who has something to do with a soul pawnshop, no matter who he is or what his identity is, will be jealous." ”

He was worried for a while when he heard that a woman had been sent to follow him, but now it seems that he was too worried.

"Ah Nian, how is the room prepared for Miss Mo?" Duan Huaining suddenly changed his words, diverted the topic, and asked Duan Nian on the side.

Duan Nian was obviously stunned for a moment, and put down the teacup: "I have been ready for a long time." ”

"Then please Miss Mo be aggrieved and stay in the cold house for a while." Duan Huaining stood up as he spoke, "There are still some trivial matters to deal with here, Miss Mo, please take care of yourself." ”

"Mr. Duan." Mo Nianning also stood up and stopped him, "You should know that once this transaction starts, no one can stop it." For the price to be paid in the end, I would like to ask you, do you really not regret it? ”

The person in front of him is still very young and in his prime, and it is the time to display his ambitions, is what he is clinging to now really worth exchanging with his soul?

"What my heart desires, why should I regret it?"

Duan Huaining laughed at it, leaving only a short eight words.

Since she has no regrets, then she doesn't have to have any psychological burden, and everyone takes what she needs and takes what she needs......

Two days later, at the reception.

"Fu Dutong, Mr. Li."

Mo Nianning was wearing a pearl-colored Western-style cheongsam, with a blue and exquisite hand-embroidered chest, her long hair was coiled up by a golden jade hairpin, and a green jade bracelet on her wrist, holding Duan Huaining's arm, standing quietly aside, elegant and beautiful.

Li Qiusheng, who had been talking happily with Fu Kaiting, turned his head when he heard the voice, and saw Duan Huaining and the others at a glance.

This woman ......

"Ah Ning......?"

Li Qiusheng squinted slightly, and didn't react yet, but Fu Kaiting froze in place as if he had lost his soul, his eyes were staring at Mo Nianning, and his mouth seemed to be whispering.

Several people present, including Zhou Fanglan, fell into an indescribable subtlety for a while.

"It turns out that Fu Dutong knows my female companion?" Duan Huaining snorted, first broke the embarrassment, such an intimate title, I am afraid that it is not just so simple to know.

Almost instantly, Fu Kaiting immediately retracted the distracted appearance just now, and re-examined the woman beside Duan Huaining, very similar, especially the pair of eyes, but what is certain is that she is by no means Liu Ning.

After so many years, even if she came back, she should be as old as him.

"Who are you?" Fu Kaiting turned his gaze to Duan Huaining.

Duan Huaining saluted several times: "Junior Duan Huaining, this is Duan Nian, my younger brother." Fu Dutong came to Night City, and the two of us brothers should have come to visit as soon as possible, but something delayed, it was really rude. ”

"If you don't get in the way, you don't have to be rigid about this kind of false courtesy." Zhou Fanglan greeted her first and looked carefully at the two young people in front of her, "Your great-grandfather, Mr. Duan, is my benefactor, so everyone is a family, why are you so polite?" It's rusty. ”

As he spoke, Duan Huaining peeked at Li Qiusheng's face, his gaze always lingering on Mo Nianning's body, with faint vigilance and hostility.

"Shulang and Anne are over there, you young people get together and have fun, treat this place as your home, don't be too restrained." Zhou Fanglan smiled and grabbed Fu Kaiting's arm, these two young people, she was full of joy when she saw them.

When it was over, Duan Huaining still saluted gracefully, and watched Fu Kaiting and the others walk into the crowd.

The melodious dance music sounded at the right time, Duan Huaining couldn't help but say that he brought Mo Nianning in, but Duan Nian didn't know when, and he didn't know where he was: "Miss Mo, don't you explain?" ”

"Explain what?"

"I haven't heard of Miss Mo having such a deep friendship with that Fu Dutong before."

She couldn't figure this out herself, this Fu Kaiting should have arrived in Night City half a year ago, and there could be no intersection before, let alone call her so affectionately.

"There are many people with the same name and similar appearance in the world, and they are all afraid that they have drunk too much, looked dazzled, and recognized the wrong person."

"Really? A capital is drunk at the beginning of the reception, and he also talks to the guest's female companion in a grand manner, which is new. Duan Huaining followed her words, slightly aggressive.

At this time, the music changed, and the rhythm became faster, Mo Nianning was absent-minded, he didn't keep up for a while, and almost tripped over.

"Mr. Duan." Mo Nianning suddenly calmed down, "There is no doubt in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people, this kind of truth should not need me to reiterate here." If the gentleman is worried that I will hinder his plan because of personal grudges, you can relax and the soul pawnshop is not at the point of such a decline as smashing the signboard. ”

She said it so directly, Duan Huaining was relieved.

"Where." Duan Huaining diverted the topic, "Mr. and Miss are commensurate, it is too rusty and suspicious, if Miss Mo doesn't mind, in front of people, just like Ah Nian, call me Huaining, and I will also call Miss Ah Ning, how about it?" ”

Mo Nianning just nodded, did not speak, and at the end of the song, the two of them exited the dance floor, and she asked puzzledly: "Mr. brought me here tonight, won't it be just because of the lack of a female companion?" ”

"Of course." Duan Huaining had a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes looked straight ahead through the bustling crowd, "Isn't this coming?" ”
