Chapter 146: The Bai Family Banquet

He understands something.

Jiang Qingrui didn't understand what she was thinking.

In short, although I didn't watch a movie on this date, the relationship between Jiang Qingrui and Xu Shu is indeed one step closer.

The holiday is over, and everyone gets to work.

Jiang Qingrui found that Xu Shu was staying up late to read the files of the Bai family's murder case after work, and took the initiative to help him check the autopsy report and on-site trace detection.

More than seven years have passed since the case, and many traces have faded over time.

When Jiang Qingrui was catching up on sleep, she received a call from Gu Zhuo.

"Miss Jiang, that's the case, in a few days, I'm going to a dinner party, can I invite you to be my female companion?"

Gu Zhuo explained the purpose of his call.

Jiang Qingrui has been very busy lately, she has no time at all, and she has a general impression of Gu Zhuo, plus she has the warning of her brother Jiang Yunhe, and she doesn't want to have any contact with Gu Zhuo.

She refused without thinking, "I'm sorry, I haven't had much time lately, and I may have to live up to your kindness." ”

"Miss Jiang, can't you really spare a little time? The white kite also told me that I had a good communication with you and I really hope to see you again. ”

Gu Zhuo refused to give up.

Jiang Qingrui's action of preparing to hang up stopped, and surprise flashed in her bright eyes, "White kite? ”

"Yes, do you remember her, just last time ...... at the bar"

Gu Zhuo thought she didn't remember, so he took the initiative to explain.

"I remember."

Jiang Qingrui interrupted him.

"It seems that good women will always sympathize with each other."

Gu Zhuo's voice mixed with a smile came, "This banquet was held by the Bai family, and Bai Kite took the initiative to mention you to me, I think she should want to see you very much." ”

Why?

Jiang Qingrui thought to herself, every time Bai Kite saw her, she left in a hurry, and she spoke politely and detachedly, without any enthusiasm.

Jiang Qingrui couldn't see that she wanted to make friends with her.

"May I ask the time?"

Thinking of the Bai family's extermination case that was being investigated, she was really curious why Bai Kite took the initiative to mention her, Jiang Qingrui asked Gu Zhuo, and her tone was loose.

"It's the night after tomorrow, starting at eight o'clock."

"Yes, I'll see you the day after tomorrow."

Jiang Qingrui calculated the time, just got off work, and did not delay work.

On the day of the banquet, Jiang Qingrui went home early from work and found a dress to put on, and as soon as she went downstairs, she was targeted by Jiang Yunhe, who came back.

"Wear it so grandly? Where is this going to go? ”

Jiang Yun looked Jiang Qingrui up and down, and then looked out the window.

Jiang Qingrui was a little confused about what he was doing, and asked curiously: "What are you doing outside the window, what is there?" ”

"I'll see if the sun sets in the east tonight."

After Jiang Yun finished speaking, he heard the sound of cars outside.

Jiang Qingrui's mobile phone also rang at the right time.

Gu Zhuo's voice came from the other side of the phone, "Miss Jiang, I'm downstairs, are you ready?" ”

"Well, I'll come down now."

Jiang Qingrui didn't care about Jiang Yunhe's changed face and hurriedly went downstairs.

got into the car and found that Gu Zhuo was looking at her intently, Jiang Qingrui was puzzled, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”

"No, it's the first time I've seen you in a dress."

A gentle smile appeared on Gu Zhuo's handsome face, and he praised sincerely, "It's beautiful." ”

"Thank you."

Jiang Qingrui was a little embarrassed, pretending to look at the time, "It's not early, is it too late?" ”

"It's totally in time."

Gu Zhuo replied with kindness, started the car and left the community.

The banquet of the Bai family was held in the villa on the top of the mountain.

When Jiang Qingrui and Gu Zhuo arrived, there were already many people inside.

It was the first time she had come into contact with this so-called upper-class dinner, and found that no one knew anyone except the white kite, but unfortunately the white kite was surrounded by people, and after a brief hello, she walked away.

Jiang Qingrui felt very bored, and when she came back from the toilet, she didn't see Gu Zhuo, so she found a corner by herself, eating casually, and observing her surroundings.

After a while, she saw a white kite.

She was holding a glass of red wine and talking, and there was a tall and straight middle-aged man beside her, the other party was in a suit and leather shoes, and his temperament was elegant and soft, Jiang Qingrui recognized him as Bai Kite's uncle, and now Shi Jitong, the real ruler of the Bai family.

If she didn't know him, Jiang Qingrui felt that Shi Jitong was more like an elegant scholar.

She even felt that maybe her previous guess that Shi Jitong was suspicious might be wrong.

But......

Jiang Qingrui frowned slightly, is this Shi Jitong a little too close to the white kite?

Just now, Shi Jitong, who was still talking normally, smiled and grabbed Bai Kite's shoulders and pointed to the pastries on the table, as if he was saying something.

Although the white kite was smiling, Jiang Qingrui could see that she was quietly staying away from Shi Jitong.

Something is wrong.

They don't seem to be as harmonious as they seem.

Jiang Qingrui was holding a wine glass, and was about to step forward to help the white kite, when a girl wearing the clothes of the Bai family's maid passed by them with wine.

"Smack!"

The wine glass fell to the ground, alarming the people around.

While everyone looked over, Shi Jitong let go of the white kite.

"I'm sorry, sir, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

The maid panicked and apologized.

"It's fine!"

Shi Jitong was not only not angry, but also helped the maid up, and said in a gentle tone, "You still have to be careful next time, go ahead." ”

found that the white kite took the opportunity to walk away, and Jiang Qingrui also took the opportunity to follow.

She slowed down and saw the maid and the white kite standing together, and the two of them didn't know what they were talking about.

They seem to have a good relationship, Jiang Qingrui thought, maybe she just dropped the drink, or maybe the maid deliberately relieved the white kite.

It's obviously an aunt and uncle, but she has to be so careful.

The people of the Bai family seem to be harmonious and close, but in fact the relationship is complicated.

"So you're here."

A familiar voice sounded behind her, Jiang Qingrui turned around, and saw that the people behind Gu Zhuo were gradually leaving, only to know that the banquet was about to end.

"I'll send you back."

Gu Zhuo took the initiative to say.

On the way, Gu Zhuo spoke, and Jiang Qingrui answered one after another, still thinking about what she saw in the Bai family.

Many details are because of constant consideration, magnifying the kind of disobedience that she ignored.

For example, Shi Jitong deliberately approached the white kite.

For example, the white kite was in a state of relief after being rescued by the maid.

"It's here!"

Jiang Qingrui heard Gu Zhuo's words, only to find that the car had arrived at the door of the house.

"I'm sorry today, I'm not very involved in this kind of occasion."

Jiang Qingrui knew that she was patronizing and observing the Bai family, and as Gu Zhuo's female companion, her performance was very average, and she took the initiative to apologize to Gu Zhuo.

Gu Zhuo shook his head, and the smile in his eyes was even stronger, "No, it's my fault, I was called away by them to talk about things, and I didn't take care of you, so it's better like this, when are you free, I'll invite you to dinner." ”

"No need."

Jiang Qingrui immediately replied, realizing that she was too eager, and made up for it, "That, there have been a lot of cases recently, and I guess I have to work overtime." ”

"It's not early, be careful on the road, goodbye."

Jiang Qingrui quickly finished speaking and turned to leave.

As soon as she got home, Jiang Qingrui was frightened by Jiang Yunhe's serious expression.

"Did I tell you, don't get too close to Gu Zhuo?"

"I'm working, brother, don't think about it, I'm not interested in Gu Zhuo."

Jiang Qingrui explained helplessly.

"In short, remember the words of the eldest brother."

Jiang Yunhe reluctantly believed it, and then changed his words, "I thought the captain was good last time, how about it, did he confess to you?" ”

"What are you mentioning him for?"

Suddenly mentioning Xu Shu, Jiang Qingrui's heart skipped a beat, and she turned her gaze, "That, I'm tired, I'll go rest first." ”

Seeing her go upstairs, Jiang Yunhe had a look that saw through everything.

It seems that tomorrow he will have to find an excuse to go and take a good look at the captain.
