Dawn's reaction was also what I expected. To be honest, although she took the sandalwood box from under my nose, it was not mine after all, and I had no right to ask Dawn to return the sandalwood box to me.
Now that I'm in danger, if Dawn gives me the box, it means that she is kind-hearted and willing to help me, but if she doesn't want to give it to me, it can't be said that she's wrong.
I hung up the phone, I had a very complicated mood, if I didn't take out the sandalwood box within a week, something would happen, but depending on Chenxi's meaning, she was not ready to hand over the sandalwood box.
After a while, Su Su sent me a text message saying that the dinner in the evening was very important and that his father would be there. The object of the banquet is called Chen Yuntian, who is the person of Sun Tianyue, the "King of Wu".
In the evening, Panda and I rushed to the venue of the banquet early.
I had no idea that Su Su would be ready to introduce me and Panda to her father so soon. Although I did help Su Su before, this is just a small favor and not worth mentioning. What kind of power the Qin family has in Sioux City, if a little-known small character like me appears rashly, there will always be a feeling of abruptness.
The place to eat is on the edge of Yangcheng Lake, which is quite elegant and noble. People like me, who have never seen much of the world, always feel ashamed of themselves when they see this kind of hotel, and feel that my appearance in such a hotel is simply smashing other people's signs.
The panda was even more embarrassed, and the panda had never been so nervous when facing more than a dozen people under Wang Tengyun's hands.
He took out a pack of cigarettes for more than ten yuan in his pocket, lit one and smoked, and said while smoking: "It seems that we still have to cultivate, and the aura of this hotel has stopped the two of us......"
I smiled and nodded: "We are used to hanging around at the bottom, and we really can't integrate into the upper class of society at once." โ
As we spoke, a fair lady walked towards us not far away. At first glance, I thought it was a female star, but when I looked closely, I recognized it as Qin Susu.
Su Su is wearing a burgundy waistless dress today, which is indescribably charming and dignified, which is completely different from the queen's aura before. I didn't expect her to be able to control so many different temperaments, she is really a versatile girl.
Su Su walked closer, looked me and the panda up and down twice, shook her head and said, "Oh, it's my sister's mistake, why didn't I take the two of you to buy a few suitable outfits, if others see it, I think my sister is stingy." โ
I quickly apologized: "It's not that you're stingy, it's that the two of us are too abrupt." โ
Su Su smiled slightly: "It's okay, fortunately, there are no outsiders today, it's my father who invited Uncle Chen to dinner." This Uncle Chen is Mr. Sun Tianyue's right-hand man, because my father helped him a little before, this is close to our Qin family, he is considered his own person, but he is also a distinguished guest, so he can't be too contemptuous. โ
After all, Sun Tianyue is the number one figure in Su Cheng, and since this Uncle Chen is Sun Tianyue's right-hand man, he is naturally also a figure with status. The Qin family can only be ranked third in Suzhou City, and in addition to King Wu, there is also an arrogant and domineering Tang Wangye, and Chen Yuntian's importance to the Qin family is naturally self-evident.
After chatting for a few words, I was just about to tell Su Su about Tang Xiaobo today, when suddenly a car drove not far away, Su Su looked up, and said excitedly: "This should be Uncle Chen, speaking of which, this is the first time I have seen him." โ
"For the first time?" I asked, surprised.
Su Su said with a smile: "Yes, Uncle Chen and our family became friends late, only two or three years, and I was still ...... at that time is still a daughter-in-law in the Cao family, so naturally I don't have a chance to see it. However, I have often heard of Uncle Chen's name before, and Uncle Chen is still the main force in the battle against the fierce men in Shanghai on the edge of Taihu Lake! โ
As he was talking, a high-spirited man stepped down from the car, looking at his age of about fifty years, tall and armed, and strong physique, if it weren't for the gray hair and wrinkled face betraying his age, judging from his back and figure, I would have believed him as a young man.
The panda is a practitioner, and after a glance from afar, he immediately said in amazement: "This Mr. Chen is indeed a good player, and you can see that his leg skills are quite good by looking at his walking posture." What's more, the southern fist and the northern leg, as a southerner, the leg skills are so extraordinary, and the ability on the fist is naturally even more terrifying. โ
"If you do it with him, who is more powerful?" I asked curiously, Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, this is an indisputable fact, Panda and Mr. Chen must have strength and weakness.
Unexpectedly, the panda took a slow puff of cigarette and shook his head with a smile: "I'm a junior, no matter who is strong or weak with him, it's not polite to compare it like this." โ
If the panda doesn't say it, I won't ask anymore. However, I vaguely felt that Chen Yuntian looked a little familiar, very much like a friend of mine. I can't remember exactly who it was.
Su Su saw that the guests had arrived, so she hurriedly took us away and walked around the back, and finally led Chen Yuntian into the box.
As soon as I entered the box, there were already a few people sitting inside.
One of them was a majestic elder, who looked to be about fifty or sixty years old, the same age as Chen Yuntian, but far less tough than Chen Yuntian.
As soon as Su Su saw this elder, she immediately ran up and coquettishly said, "Dad, my life-saving benefactor is here!" โ
It turned out that this one was Su Su's father. I remember Su Su told me before that her father's name was Qin Yang, and he started a steel business, but in recent years, the real economy has declined, and his father has started a tertiary industry under his hands, and now it is also booming.
The panda and I hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, and Qin Yang also hurriedly got up and said politely, "Yang Ye and the panda? I've heard Su Su say about you a long time ago, and Su Su was able to escape from the countryside thanks to you, and I will definitely hold a banquet another day to thank you. โ
Panda and I were very humble.
Mr. Wei once said that Qin Yang's temper is very great, in fact, I can also see that people with a larger temper often have dark faces and red eyes when they get older, which is all the sequelae caused by anger.
Qin Yang does have this characteristic.
But when you're not angry, you're kind, and your heart is warmed when you laugh.
Without waiting for us to say more, Chen Yuntian had already entered through the main entrance. As soon as they entered the door, Qin Yang and Su Su greeted them, and the panda and I were a little embarrassed, so we could only stand next to us and hang our heads silently.
Chen Yuntian's voice was loud, but he didn't talk much, and when he talked to Qin Yang, he seemed to have something on his mind, and his brows were always twisted.
After a few polite greetings, we sat down.
Chen Yuntian had never seen Su Su, so he inevitably chatted with Su Su for a while.
Qin Yang was also as discerning as a torch, and he could see that Chen Yuntian was preoccupied, so he came up and asked, "Old Chen, I see that your brows are tightly locked, have you encountered anything difficult?" There are very few people in our Sioux City who can make you embarrassed? โ
Chen Yuntian smiled bitterly: "Alas...... I really can't hide it from you, it's my girl's business. โ
"Your girl?" Qin Yang was stunned, a little unexpected.
Chen Yuntian sighed: "Alas, you also know that my son-in-law's job is not very good, he is away all the year round, and it is very dangerous...... I thought that during this time, I would ask him to change his job in Sucheng, and he would be able to bring his daughter back to live with him, but I didn't think that this kid was blessed...... "Speaking of this, Uncle Chen couldn't go on.
Qin Yang was stunned when he heard this, and the rest of us also heard that this problem was quite serious.
"Lao Chen, your son-in-law...... It can't be an accident, right? โ
Uncle Chen nodded lightly: "It's bad luck, a few days ago, my daughter's house was haunted, so that my granddaughter has been going to live at my grandmother's house, and then a neighbor was kind enough to help, and finally settled down the house, but I didn't expect that as soon as this matter subsided, my son-in-law had a car accident outside, and now the whole person is rescuing, and the doctor said that even if he wakes up, he may be in a vegetative state." โ
What I said in this passage made my heart tremble, not that I was frightened by the matter of Uncle Chen's son-in-law, but how did I listen to the previous narrative and how did I think I knew Uncle Chen's daughter......
The husband is away all the year round, and the house has just been haunted, and the granddaughter is sent to her grandmother's house, thanks to the help of a neighbor.
Is Uncle Chen's daughter my next-door neighbor Chen Yifei?
"Uncle Chen, is your daughter's name Yifei?" Qin Susu also heard the mystery in the story and hurriedly asked.
When Uncle Chen heard this, he nodded and asked, "Yes, Lao Qin told you about her?" โ
Qin Susu was also very surprised: "Uncle Chen, it's too coincidental, your daughter lives in Le County, right?" Guess who the neighbor used to help your daughter get rid of ghosts in the house? โ
As she spoke, Su Su glanced back at me.
Uncle Chen is also a smart person, and he saw me and the panda at this time. Both of us, both in dress and temperament, are incompatible with the local tyrants at this table, obviously outsiders, and the "neighbors" in Su Su's mouth are of course us.
Uncle Chen hurriedly stood up, held the wine glass and said, "I didn't expect that it was really fateful to meet my girl's benefactor here." โ
Panda and I hurriedly stood up with our wine glasses, and I excused myself: "It's not enough to worry about it." โ
It seems that Chen Yifei did not tell Uncle Chen the truth of the matter, if Wang Tengyun knew that he had offended the daughter of the Wu Wang brothers, it is estimated that he would have already done his own thing.
Uncle Chen raised his glass and drank it all, and said, "It's a coincidence, my son-in-law has such a thing, and no one takes care of my poor granddaughter...... After eating for a while, if you are free, you might as well accompany Yifei to talk, it just so happens that she is also in a low mood these days. โ
I just remembered that when we were leaving Lexian that day, Yifei's expression was indeed very depressed, it turned out that her husband had an accident. She is a very shy woman who doesn't want to cause trouble to others, but it's easy to suffocate herself with such a character.
I hurriedly nodded and said, "Of course, Yifei is also our friend, and if something happened to my friend, of course we have to go and see." โ
Unexpectedly, before I could speak, Uncle Chen's mobile phone rang harshly, and Uncle Chen whispered sorry to me and pressed the phone.
Yifei's panicked voice in the earpiece immediately came: "Dad! Yaoyao has an accident! Come home! โ
