Chapter 426 One Person Is Missing
Yun Xiangxiang glanced over and frowned, Song Mian was always watching her every move: "What's wrong?"
"I feel like I'm missing someone." The seat was already full, and only the main seat of Mr. Shi was left unoccupied.
It's impossible for the Shi family not to arrange the number of people, but Yun Xiangxiang didn't see the little girl who bumped into her in the toilet.
After all, Yun Xiangxiang had been in the fashion circle for so long, and followed Song Mian for so long. From the clothes, he could tell at a glance that the other party was from a wealthy family, and he was either a guest or a member of the Shi family.
No matter what kind, it is impossible not to be on the table at Mr. Shi's birthday banquet.
Even Shi Youxuan, an illegitimate daughter, is eligible to sit on the table. Could it be that the identity of the other party is more embarrassing than the illegitimate daughter?
If so, how could he get into the Shi family? Or is there something else in it that she doesn't know?
"Huh?" Song Mian also glanced, "The Shi family is all there except for the old man."
Yun Xiangxiang's heart sank a little, she couldn't bump into a ghost in broad daylight, right?
Song Mian said that they are all there, his understanding of the Shi family is definitely not one-sided, it must be that all members, even if they don't know each other, must remember it well, so that they will not be unfamiliar when they meet outside.
"When I called you before..." Yun Xiangxiang told Song Mian the matter.
Just as Yun Xiangxiang finished speaking, Shou Xing Gong walked in with a sandalwood crutch with a dragon head carved on it.
Although he was wearing a cane, he walked steadily. He was already eighty years old, and his hair was not completely white, showing a gray state.
And the hair is dense, his face has many wrinkles, but he doesn't look weak, and his eyes are still sharp.
Everyone stood up, because of Song Mian's high status, he sat on the left hand side of the old man, and on the right hand side of the old man was Shi Youxuan's father, the elder of the Shi family.
Yun Xiangxiang followed Song Mian, probably because of the principle that husbands are honored and wives are noble, so she sat next to Song Mian, and Chang Yuan sat on her right.
Originally, it was supposed to sit Chang Tao, but considering Yun Xiangxiang, Chang Yuan, who was also a woman, was arranged.
"Everyone, don't be cautious, treat it as a family banquet, and have a meal with me, an old man." Old Master Shi was still very kind, "Sit down and sit down."
As he spoke, he sat down first, and the rest followed suit.
Huaguo's inheritance is to eat without talking and sleep without talking. This kind of big family naturally upholds these traditions, and the things that need to be discussed must have been discussed before meals.
So the whole dinner table was very quiet, but Shi's food was delicious, and everyone didn't feel depressed, it was like enjoying a delicious meal quietly.
Song Mian completely ignored the gazes of so many people, so he almost spoiled Yun Xiangxiang so much that he couldn't take care of himself. He picked the cleanest dishes and put them in Yun Xiangxiang's bowl.
For example, the seafood always picks out the meat, and the dishes with peppercorns all pick out the peppercorns...
As a result, many people looked at him frequently. No matter how thick-skinned Yun Xiangxiang was, he couldn't bear it, so he secretly grabbed the hem of his clothes a few times.
Song Mian didn't seem to feel it, and didn't cooperate at all. Yun Xiangxiang couldn't stare at him blatantly, let alone warn him.
I can only accept it with a smile, bite the bullet and ignore other people, just concentrate on eating.
After finally finishing their meal, everyone rested for a while, and these juniors were going to celebrate Old Master Shi's birthday.
Everyone will send congratulatory gifts at this time. Although Yun Xiangxiang came with Song Mian, he is not married yet, so he is not considered a family.
Song Mian asked her if she wanted to help prepare the gift, but Yun Xiangxiang refused. She asked Qian Yongnian to buy a good-quality chicken blood stone through some of the few remaining connections from previous years.
Old Master Shi took it in his hand and smiled: "I have a heart, I don't know if my old bones can drink your wedding wine."
Old Master Shi was teasing Yun after thinking about it. He would also ask the person who gave the gift before, but no one found it awkward.
"Old man, you are in good health, so you must have a long life." Yun Xiangxiang said auspicious words.
"Hahaha." Old Master Shi laughed happily, "Many people have said these things to me, but it's a different feeling when you say them from your mouth."
Yun Xiangxiang smiled shyly in return.
Old Master Shi said: "You and Youxuan are classmates, and you often come to visit when you have free time."
"If there is a chance, I will come to bother you often." Yun Xiangxiang replied politely, and then gave up his seat.
After the rest of the people delivered the gifts, old master Shi started talking to them, and Yun Xiangxiang didn't quite understand what they were talking about.
Yun Xiangxiang took the opportunity to ask Shi Youxuan: "Is there anyone in your family who hasn't come yet?"
Shi Youxuan glanced at Yun Xiangxiang inexplicably, and shook her head: "Who would dare not come on such an important day for Grandpa?"
Unless it is someone who is not recognized like her mother, no matter how busy she is, her cousins are still studying abroad, and they don't have vacations, so they have to ask for leave to be there.
Yun Xiangxiang felt even weirder, this person seemed to have appeared out of thin air, and disappeared out of thin air, she couldn't continue to inquire, or she might be suspected of digging into Shi's family's privacy.
"Accompany me to the bathroom?" Yun Xiangxiang asked Tang Suran with his head tilted.
Of course Tang Suran would not refuse, and the two of them quietly exited the lobby.
"Where are you going?" Tang Suran wondered, obviously there was a bathroom on the left.
When they came out, the servants naturally asked them what they needed, and when they said they were going to the bathroom, the servants pointed to the nearest one.
Yun Xiangxiang refused the servant to lead the way, and did not go to the location pointed out by the servant: "When I was playing mahjong with you before, I also went to the bathroom. I was worried that something might be left behind."
Yun Xiangxiang really wanted to go to the bathroom, but she still decided to go to the previous bathroom to have a look, not because she really wanted to dig into Shi's family's privacy, but because she always felt that something abnormal must be caused by a demon.
It would be fine if she hadn't met this person, but Yun Xiangxiang had a deep impression on her when she met Yun Xiangxiang.
Tang Suran didn't think too much, so he accompanied Yun Xiangxiang, and the two went into the bathroom.
Yun Xiangxiang and Tang Suran each found a cubicle, and halfway up, Yun Xiangxiang smelled a fragrance.
"Think about it, hold your breath!" Tang Suran's voice came from the next door.
Yun Xiangxiang immediately held his breath, got up quickly and wanted to leave the bathroom, but felt dizzy when he opened the door.
She bit her tongue and pushed the door open. Everything she saw was a double image, her feet were soft, and she finally jumped onto the sink.
She reached out to grab the water, but after all, she was unable to stay awake due to fatigue and passed out.
In the little bit of consciousness left, she felt that someone approached her, raised her up, and then she was swallowed by the boundless darkness.
She was woken up by screams, felt her hands were sticky, opened her eyes reluctantly, and her eyes turned out to be blood-red.
She held a knife in her hand, and beside her was a dead person lying in a pool of blood.
Recently, there is a strict investigation, some updates have problems, chapters may also be locked, and the rest will be updated during the day...
