Xichuan Villa, seeing these four glittering big words, I vaguely remember that I seemed to have heard of this place somewhere. Before I could think about it, the car door was already opened by the doorman, and Wei Xueman and I walked into the antique courtyard. There seems to be a faint smell of pine in the air. According to Ms. Wei, it was an old manor house that her friends had bought with their money, and after some renovations, it had been turned into a resort. In addition to a new six-storey modern hotel building facing the gate, there are more than a dozen villas scattered in the courtyard, which has now entered the trial operation stage. The reception was held in the lobby on the first floor of the modern hotel. Although it is a cocktail party, there are not many guests because the guests are all familiar people.

As soon as I stepped through the door of the hotel, I was grabbed by someone. When I turned around, I saw Becky in a red off-the-shoulder dress standing in front of me with a smile on her face, holding a golden clutch in her hand, and Xiao Tian was standing behind her, he was wearing a very formal tuxedo. Becky smiled, "You're here too?" I didn't think I would meet anyone I knew before. ”

I was also stunned, and before I could speak, I saw Yu Kexin, Gao Fei, and Xiao Tian standing not far away, all dressed very formally, obviously the guests invited to this cocktail party. Without waiting for me to speak, Biqi smiled and said, "Oh, I'm really surprised, I didn't expect Sister Tingting to have so many friends." We were planning to have a party here, and since we were the guests on the first day, we were specially invited to this reception. Look, we're here to join in the fun. If we can meet you, then we won't be too bored. ”

After Wei Xueman greeted them, he went straight to find his friend. I, on the other hand, was happy to sit down by the floor-to-ceiling window. And Becky clearly liked the occasion, and she happily bobbed through the crowd like a bird. It wasn't until Pantene, dressed in a long white dress, appeared in front of me that I finally came back to my senses.

"Such a coincidence? I would have liked to have come with you earlier. I should have thought that most of this villa complex are Wei Xueman's friends, I should have thought that she would come, and she would definitely bring you with her. Pantene raised her glass and raised it towards me.

I was a little helpless, but I had to reluctantly accept it. That's when I noticed that unlike the amber or red liquid in other people's cups, the water in hers was transparent. Liquor? Unlikely, on such an occasion, how could liquor be offered? I guess it should just be water.

"Didn't you see Xiao Tian with you?" I asked with a smile, it was just a matter of trying to chat with Pantene and find a random topic.

But when she said this, Pantene's expression became a little weird, and she opened her mouth with a hint of disdain on her face. But that flashed quickly, and she smiled: "My father-in-law likes such a lively occasion, so where can I sit still?" Men, always more ambitious, he is probably also looking for opportunities, right? After all, most of the people who come in and out of here are rich people, but I don't like this kind of occasion very much. ”

Xiao Tian has always been by Yu Kexin and Biqi's side, and occasionally one or two people will greet them, but obviously it is just a polite gesture, and there is absolutely no more conversation. On the contrary, Wei Xueman has been surrounded by everyone since he appeared, that is the stage that really belongs to Wei Xueman, right? She should be the queen surrounded by everyone, and she does have that kind of momentum.

There was a slight commotion in the crowd. I turned my head and saw a woman in a short black dress and red heels walking in with a man about forty years old. Everyone's eyes almost stayed on them.

"Hongzi?" Pantene, who was sitting next to me, whispered: "Isn't this the female star who suddenly retired in the last year or two?" ”

Female stars? I was stunned for a moment. No wonder it looks so familiar. Probably because my whispering with Pantene caught the man's attention, and he pretended to look back at us casually as he walked past us.

Xiao Tian has always stood there very relaxed, which is not the same as the image of always sitting upright on weekdays. And Pantene, obviously a little out of place, looked at me thoughtfully, and after a while said, "Aren't you going to dance with them?" ”

"I'm not used to such a lively occasion." I said lightly, this time, I was dragged here by Wei Xueman to fill the number. Seeing the waiter walking towards me, I raised my hand to grab a drink from something. It should be champagne in it, right?

Unexpectedly, I was stopped by Pantene, who smiled and said, "It's alcoholic there, so don't drink that." Shall I bring you a glass of water? Haven't you always been used to drinking plain water? ”

Without waiting for me to speak, Pantene naturally walked over and fetched me a glass of water. I sighed slightly, maybe it was because she liked to take care of people, and she didn't have many familiar people here, so she was so enthusiastic about me, right? I gratefully accepted the cup from her hand, and she smiled at me and said, "I seem to see familiar people, go over and say hello to them." ”

Before I could speak, Pantene left with a smile on her face. She attracts everyone's attention everywhere, maybe because of her near-perfect image? And I, coming here, seemed so out of place. Sighing helplessly, I could only sit there and watch the costumed people discussing something lively, and the laughter that came from time to time made me feel like my head was about to explode.

I walked outside with my glass in hand, it was another world, and the time was already pointing to 9 o'clock in the evening. Just as I looked back at the hall, the middle-aged man who had been with the female star before suddenly fell to the ground with his hands on his chest. The people who were guarding him were in chaos. I heard someone shouting, "Who's the doctor?" Who is a Doctor? Come and help......" The woman screamed, and the man quickly retreated. I was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly pushed the door and walked in. Look at the man like that. Pantene didn't know when she appeared next to me, with an indescribable shock in her eyes, clutching an empty cup in her hand.

After a while, I saw a tall man walk in quickly, and after a while, he shook his head with a sad face. From the sad and shocked gazes of the crowd, I felt that something might have happened. Then, someone picked up the phone, apparently calling the police.

"Everybody stay calm." A man about fifty years old said in a loud voice, "Something has happened suddenly, so please gather in the rest area on the east side and don't leave here." ”
