Chapter 19: The Ex's Wedding
The busy city seems to be clockwork, everyone is in a hurry, it is only past seven o'clock in the morning, and the streets are already full of traffic.
Walking in the crowd, I looked out of place and uncomfortable, which may be considered an occupational disease.
I didn't take a taxi, and walked the entire Tingtang Road on two legs, and I came to the highest multi-functional theme building in Jiangcheng New District, Century New Garden.
The main building has 26 floors, and there are two 13-storey auxiliary buildings next to it, and the overall building group forms the word "mountain" to suppress the leader of Jiangcheng.
This is the headquarters of Jiangjin Real Estate, one of the few five-star hotels in Jiangcheng, and the place where the wedding ceremony of Jiang Chen, the second son of the Jiang family, was held.
The wedding was set here, inviting dignitaries and dignitaries from Jiangcheng, which seemed to be a gathering of elite bigwigs, but it was actually a ceremony held by the Jiang family in order to officially introduce Ye Bing into high society.
"The pheasant becomes a phoenix, and our lives should never intersect again from now on." laughed at himself, his eyes swept over the rows of luxury cars at the door, Lamborghini, Ferrari, and even the Lord who started at five million saw two.
"Sir, today Century Xinyuan was chartered by the second son for a wedding, please show your invitation." The security guards are five big and three coarse, and they are polite on the surface, but they are actually very confident, and they are not afraid of offending people, because they are behind the Jiangjin Group.
"Look." I didn't have anything to say when I was stopped by the security guards, after all, I was the only one who walked slowly and leisurely in and out of the city.
"Sorry, guest, please inside."
"Huh? You are...... Gao Jian?! Finally entered the gate, and before he could take two steps, a well-dressed man ran over from the parking lot: "I really didn't expect you to come to Jiang Shao's wedding, haha, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
I didn't have much reaction with a cold expression, the familiar guy in front of me was my classmate at the Police Academy - Xu Xiuming, when he was in the Police Academy, he was a person who could speak well and be exquisite, sleek and sophisticated, don't look at his enthusiasm now, in fact, he is a beggar on the side of the road who has never known each other can pretend to be excited about the reunion of the old man.
"Hello." The two words of light are the longest words I have ever said to him.
"Yo, look who's coming, isn't this our ex-brother-in-law Gao Jian?" The woman who spoke was called Zhang Yuanyuan, who was also a classmate of my police academy, but contrary to Xu Xiuming, this woman loves to chew her tongue and likes gossip, which is extremely unlikable. I heard that she married a man from another school just after graduation, and now she has become a mother.
I frowned and walked away quickly, but I was thinking carefully in my heart: "Zhang Yuanyuan is a shrew, she is definitely not a successful person, and she left Jiangcheng with her husband a long time ago, why did she come to attend Ye Bing's wedding?" What she was most jealous of before was Ye Bing's beauty, and blessings should have nothing to do with people like her. ”
"Unless someone specifically invites her and offers a price that will make her happy." With a little brain, you can figure it out, and the person behind the command is the cautious groom Jiang Chen: "It seems that today's wedding will be very interesting." ”
The banquet hall was full of guests and friends, and at a glance, you could see several company executives, all of whom were business elites, and they had the flavor of businessmen in their conversation and behavior.
A wedding has been turned into a business event, most of the people who come are to broaden their network, and how many of them are sincerely blessed by the couple?
"Gao Jian, this way! Everyone is waiting for you! "Looking for the voice, there are two tables in the corner of the banquet hall to entertain me.
In other words, it is specially to entertain former police academy classmates.
There were delicate cold dishes on the large round table, and more than a dozen students greeted each other.
"I heard that your kid bought a house again?"
"How old is my son?"
"Ah, you're worth a lot of money."
I turned a deaf ear to the conversation, lit a cigarette, and smoked silently.
I have nothing compared to them, and they are just a bunch of passers-by to me.
It's just that people don't hurt the tiger, and the tiger is harmful to people's hearts, and some classmates who are very poor and unsatisfactory gradually lead the topic to me.
In their opinion, I, a down-and-out dog who attended my ex's wedding and achieved nothing, is the saddest person today.
Is there anything more heartwarming in this world than an ex-girlfriend marrying a man you can only look up to?
"Gao Jian, I haven't heard from you in the past few years, and I don't know how you're doing now?"
"yes, yes, I haven't been in touch since that incident."
"Hey, I don't know if the real murderer was caught?"
The incident they were talking about was the serial murder case on a rainy night that shocked Jiangcheng back then, and it was because I was involved in this case that I caused a lot of trouble that I was expelled from the police academy.
"Forget it, don't mention it, don't mention it, let's talk about something happy. Gao Jian's comprehensive results were among the best before, and such an excellent person is better than us in anything. ”
"No, how did I hear that he had been buying that kind of stuff, and he was living very poorly."
"Really? No wonder Ye Bing will leave, I won't live with this kind of man. Look at Jiang Shao, handsome and chic, much like the male protagonist in Korean dramas. ”
"Isn't it, the key people still have money, haven't you heard? A Jiang family can support half the sky of Jiangcheng! ”
"Ye Bing's life is really good."
A group of people were muttering to each other, some were envious and jealous of Ye Bing, and some were gloating and staring at me.
Puff out a cigarette and work as a private detective I've seen too much dirty stuff and there's nothing to refute with that.
"It seems that you are better at dealing with dead people than living people." A chuckle sounded next to me, and a unique fragrance wafted through the tip of my nose.
"Iron incense?" I didn't look back, because I had already remembered this smell that seemed to be body fragrance: "Why are you here too?" Is the case over for the Anxin Hotel? ”
Extinguishing the cigarette butt, I turned my head to look, although I had been mentally prepared, I was still shocked by the iron incense in the dress: "It's so beautiful......"
The fragrant shoulders are like the best condensed jade dew outside, the long skirt like water is gently swaying, and the police uniform has faded, and she is really innocent.
The men at the same table were all dumbfounded, and the women also stopped talking and stared at Tie Ningxiang with unkind eyes.
"Can you give me a moment? I asked him something to say. ”
"Okay, okay." Xu Xiuming, who was sitting next to me, immediately got up and pulled out the chair very gentlemanly.
Tie Ningxiang nodded and sat beside me: "You talk about yours, class reunion, don't disturb your interest." ”
Are you kidding? What are we talking about when a goddess like you sits next to that down-and-out dog?
is saying how right it is for Ye Bing to leave him, you A female goblin who is more beautiful than Ye Bing came to the door and demolished the stage with a pure heart?
What kind of shit luck did this kid take?
The old classmates turned from talking to whispering, and Tie Ningxiang looked at me playfully: "I'm sorry, it's taking up a little bit of your time." ”
"It's okay, I'm bored here anyway, but why did you come to Ye Bing's wedding?"
"My family and the Jiang family are very close, there is no way, I am forced by the old stubbornness of the family."
Tie Ningxiang glanced left and right, then moved the chair to my side, leaned over half of his body, and said close to my ear: "Xiaofeng, the goddaughter of the landlord of the Anxin Hotel, wants to see you." ”
"She?" Although I had guessed that Tie Ningxiang was looking for me, I didn't expect it to be because of Xiaofeng.
"I don't know what happened between the two of you, but she named you to see you, and said that there are some things that can only be said to you." Tie Ningxiang's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking about the fox who had become a fine spirit: "You two shouldn't be that kind of relationship, right?" ”
Her expression was subtle, and I didn't care, but the male compatriots at the same table made huge waves in their hearts.
It was a jealous expression, it was a jealous look, and the goddess was obviously dissatisfied because he came to his ex's wedding! Ma Dan, where is this kid better than me, who can make such a goddess die.
"You think too much, Xiaofeng and I only have one side, and we are probably not as long together as you have been with her."
"Anyway, if you come back to the bureau with me in the afternoon, you should do my senior sister a favor, okay?"
I rarely saw Tie Ningxiang begging for help, and quipped: "No problem, if I commit a crime in the future, I will have to rely on my senior sister more." ”
The two of us whispered and talked, not because of their closeness, but because they didn't want to be heard by outsiders.
But this scene was misunderstood by the old classmates present, and endless speculation began.
