Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Man Behind the Black Veil
At the banquet, everyone was dressed up and dressed in jewelry. Almost all the places that could be hung with jewels were used by them.
The light of the crystal lamp shone down and hit their bodies, refracting all kinds of flares.
The sound of dreamy music blends with laughter.
Complex perfume notes, mixed with champagne, wine and food.
The banquet had only lasted for more than half an hour, and I didn't know if it was due to the effect of alcohol or lack of oxygen, everyone's faces became red, and their eyes were foggy, as if they were wandering in an ethereal paradise.
Is this the royal banquet of dreams?
It looks so unreal.
This was Qin Pei's first feeling when he changed into a relaxed dress and came to the banquet hall.
If the city does not land, the remaining energy reserves will only be able to supply for a month at most.
However, Qin Pei could not see the slightest sense of oppression on the faces of these nobles, and the focus of their words was still the power struggle and gossip between inside and outside the family.
The maneuvering between men is still inseparable from the mutual encirclement and suppression of the powerful.
Women are still inseparable from men, shapes, jewelry, and designer brands......
Everyone's words and deeds seem to have been deliberately trained and very decent. The atmosphere of the scene was joyful and harmonious on the surface, but it was secretly full of invisible swords and swords.
Occasionally, I hear someone talk about the city's energy shortage, and the guests around me don't seem to pay much attention.
Someone asked, "How's it going today?" ”
"I heard that more than seventy percent of the people in the major families have signed the consent form, even if the Tian family and the military region do not agree, I am afraid that it will not be able to change the situation."
"It's long overdue to expel all the useless garbage out of the city! You say that raising a pig can still eat meat, what is the use of consuming energy to raise these garbage? ”
After hearing this, Qin Pei raised his eyes and glanced at the person who spoke, only to see that he had fine skin and tender flesh, his hair was as glued as an onion, his figure was thin, and he wore uniquely shaped eyes.
According to the chip information, the person's name is Wang Chong, a side branch of the Wang family, and he is a complete gentleman.
I couldn't help laughing in my heart, laughing at others for being useless garbage, and I didn't necessarily have any ability for him.
Qin Pei took the plate in his hand, turned around and moved from one table to another, listening to everyone's topic while eating without stopping.
Alas, prices have soared recently, and food is getting more expensive every day.
Although the housekeeper let Furu secretly buy a lot of stored grain, and the granary gradually filled, it was used to prevent future troubles.
She still has to keep so many mouths in the playground, and the amount of food can't help but be halved when she thinks about it.
Looking back at the endless buffet at the banquet, in fact, these distinguished guests didn't eat much, and if they didn't eat cooked food, they couldn't store it for long, wasn't it a waste?
Thanks to the built-in stealth mode, almost no one cared about her, so she had to aggrieve herself to eat more.
Occasionally, someone noticed her eating appearance, threw a surprised look at her, and was stunned and didn't speak, so she smiled back and said, "Hello, Tian's live game understand?" ”
Then the people at the table would look at each other with disdain, and then disperse. Qin Pei also turned around and walked to the next table.
After turning around, my stomach was also full, and I didn't hear any valuable information, and the key person of the chip-locked gold family did not appear.
Without the temptation of food, the smell of perfume in the air became more pungent, so she turned around and went back to the exclusive rest room arranged for her by Furu's butler.
The design of this lounge is also very wonderful, not only away from the hustle and bustle, but also to keep an eye on the banquet at all times.
Qin Pei was still wondering, didn't she say that everyone in the Golden Family wanted to see her? Why is it gone?
Then a coquettish voice sounded outside the door.
"Hello, Butler Furu." The voice said.
"Miss Xiaoyu." Butler Furu immediately responded politely.
"Is Mrs. Tian in there? I just seem to have seen her come back, can I go in? Li Xiaoyu asked politely.
When Qin Pei heard this in the lounge, he couldn't help but feel a numb scalp.
She...... See you've just returned?
......
In the dark room, all the windows were covered with black cloths, and only the candlelight of the crackling stars gave off a glimmer of light.
"Which one?" A man's nonchalant voice came from behind the black curtain.
On the other side of the black veil, under the steps, knelt a man with his shoulders shrunk and a woman trembling all over.
When the man heard the voice, he hesitated and secretly raised his head, and happened to see the two intertwined figures in the black veil, and his throat couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then he thought of something, and immediately lowered his head, and at the same time reached out and secretly bumped the arm of the woman next to him.
The woman was shocked, took a sharp breath of cold air, quickly raised her head and glanced at the holographic picture, then quickly lowered her head, and replied in a trembling voice: "Blue ...... ...... of blue dress That ......"
"Blue dress?" The man in the black gauze muttered, "It can't be the average-looking one, right?" ”
"Yes...... Be...... She ......., "The woman was almost crying.
The man in the black gauze frowned: "What do you say, it's also a woman I have loved, are you so scared to talk to me now?" ”
As soon as the woman heard this, she instantly collapsed, kneeling and taking a few steps forward: "Master, I was wrong!" Spare me! ”
The man in the black gauze sighed deeply.
He had another woman in his arms, and the woman was trying to please him.
But he began to reminisce about the past as if absent-mindedly, thinking about it, and there was still a smile on his face.
"I've forgotten what you looked like when you first came to Liu......," he said, "and I barely recognized you when Tian sent you back."
At that time, I was still thinking, Tian is not going to be able to find relatives, right? Such a good beauty, you actually sent me back?
You know, I was really happy at that time!
You are such a lively and straightforward personality, and you are also very grinning in front of me, laughing when you want to laugh, and losing your temper when you want to.....
Unlike other people, who only flattered me when they saw me, their faces trembled even though they were smiling.
I really like you, it's a pity......
Now look at you like this, it just makes me sick. ”
When the woman heard this, she fainted, crying and shouting: "Master, I was really wrong, I don't dare anymore!" ”
The man behind the black veil stopped talking, raised his hand and waved it impatiently.
Out of the darkness came a man in a black cloak whose face he couldn't see, and he stood still at the foot of the steps and glanced at the kneeling man.
The man behind the black veil said lightly: "Gouge out your eyes and bury ......"
When the kneeling man heard this, he immediately shouted that he was wronged: "Young master, I was wronged, it was this woman who seduced me and drugged me!" ......”
When the woman heard this, she raised her head and glanced at the man incredulously, sneered, and her eyes instantly became indifferent......
The black-cloaked man dragged one out of the door with one hand, the man's shouts of grievances still echoed in the corridor, but the woman seemed to have become a dead corpse, falling into a dead silence......
In a moment, the man behind the black veil came back to his senses from his sorrow, and in the blink of an eye, his face returned to a cold and unforgiving expression. The woman in her arms tried her best, but she couldn't make his expression change in the slightest.
After a while, he raised his eyes to look at the girl in blue in the hologram, and suddenly laughed with a "poof".
The woman in her arms was stunned for a moment, looked up at him, and saw that he didn't look at herself, her eyes were still staring at the hologram, and she sighed with a smile: "Tian Taiye's vision is too bad!" ”
