Chapter 565: Broken prayer beads
Jiang Lingxi was wearing the same clothes as before at the event, but she had taken off all the makeup on her face when she was taking off false eyelashes next door.
But this does not prevent him from being recognized at a glance.
There was a "pop" sound, and she looked over subconsciously, and met two pairs of eyes that were obviously full of energy but were extremely dull at the moment.
This reaction…
She turned her eyes to Xu Ling'an who was sitting next to her, "Don't they know?"
Even Xu Ling'an didn't expect that his two friends, Ka, would have such a big reaction when they saw his sister. He nodded a little guiltily, "Not yet..."
After hearing the conversation between the two, the two finally woke up from their sluggish state: "..."
When Jiang Lingxi looked at them again, her body reacted faster than her brain, and she stood up from her seat, "Sister, ah no, sister Jiang, hello."
"Hello, sit down. Seeing that you all know me, I won't introduce myself. I'm Sister An An. It's time to eat, so I asked you to come over and join us. Remember to eat well later."
The two of them sat back down and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I must be full."
Jiang Lingxi walked to the main seat and sat down. Seeing that everyone had arrived, she nodded to Tong Yue, "Let the kitchen serve the food."
After the two sat down again, they couldn't help but grab Xu Ling'an's hand under the table.
“Youngest!”
These two words are said with a bit of gritted teeth.
On their way here, they expected to see a rich lady later, but they never expected that the other party would be Jiang Lingxi.
The main goal is to be caught off guard!
Now they also know why the name ‘Shen Chuyue’ seems familiar to them. They are the founder of Shanyue Zhiheng brand. They just watched the event held by him.
Who would have thought that they would be eating at the same table with these two people at this moment.
It feels like a dream!
Xu Lingan shook the hands of his two friends and defended in a low voice: "You didn't even ask."
Two people: “…”
It seems to be true.
But is this a question that should be asked or not asked?
It wasn't until the delicious and exquisite food was put on the table, and the atmosphere was relaxed, especially since the person sitting at the main seat didn't pay any attention to them, and only regarded them as friends of their children, that the tension in their hearts slowly calmed down. Go down.

It was clearly lunch time, but Bai Shengyu was sitting in the police station's inquiry room with a dark face.
Even though there are famous lawyers in the family outside, my ears are still quiet. But just sitting here and waiting for the dealings outside to end so that he can get out as soon as possible was already unbearable for him.
Bai Shengyu didn't eat, and naturally neither did the policeman in charge of the case.
Both parties are in no mood.
After getting the name Bai Shengyu from Han Dashan, the police knew that this case was difficult.
They have to follow procedures and regulations, but there are always people who try to take advantage of loopholes in various ways. Even though they knew that the real murderer was the one sitting inside at the moment, they still couldn't arrest him directly without sufficient evidence.
Both sides in this battle are already exhausted, but no one can retreat!
Time is still passing by minute by minute.
Bai Shengyu looked up at the clock hanging in the inquiry room when the bell rang. It was one o'clock in the afternoon!
He was brought here by the police car at around ten o'clock, and it had been almost three hours since he arrived!
When did your own team of lawyers become so useless?
He was about to stand up when he saw the policeman who was watching him and was about to stop him.
There was a "pop" sound, and the two men stopped in unison. Bai Shengyu lowered his head and looked at the Buddhist beads that suddenly broke in his hand.
He begged this prayer bead from his grandma. He had always treasured it. Every time he felt restless, he would hold it in his hand and twist it.
He changes the threads that thread the beads himself, never by others.
If he remembered correctly, the line was changed less than a week ago.
It is impossible for it to break suddenly.
But now, as he watched the more than a hundred small beads quickly fall from the broken line to the ground that was stepped on by people, with a series of tiny falling sounds, Bai Shengyu felt that his heart was beating faster and faster. The more I jumped, the more panicked I lost my rhythm.
Soon, all he had left was a brand-new long rope. The cut was flat as if it had been cut with a knife. Beads were rolling everywhere around his feet, and some even rolled under the sofa and coffee table.
The policeman watched Bai Shengyu's expression change from stunned to confused, then he looked at a few beads that rolled to his feet. After hesitating, he knelt down and picked them up, "Mr. Bai?"
But after Bai Shengyu saw the Buddhist beads in his palm, his already ugly face became even more ugly.
The old lady has been caring for this prayer beads for a long time. He finally got it and never let anyone else touch it.
Even the woman who had been favored by him for the longest time and wanted to touch her because of his favor was rejected by him and he chopped off her hand mercilessly.
Now, they are lying in the hands of the kind of people they hate the most!
Bai Shengyu felt the panic in his heart getting stronger and stronger.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally forced himself to squat down and pick up the fallen beads one by one. Just as he frowned at the dirt on his hands, the door to the inquiry room was finally pushed open from the outside.
The policeman standing outside the door said expressionlessly: "Mr. Bai, you can leave."
Bai Shengyu couldn't hold his composure anymore. He breathed a sigh of relief and walked out. Only when he passed by the assistant who had already put on a pair of silver bracelets and looked gloomy, he paused and turned his head to look at him. Step away.
The bearer check had only the assistant’s fingerprints on it.
But after leaving the police station and getting into the car, he frowned and looked at the lawyer sitting in the front passenger seat, "What's going on? Why did it take so long this time?"
He originally thought that even if he was summoned, the matter would be completed in less than an hour based on the ability of his lawyer, but now it has taken three times as long!
The lawyer answered the question inappropriately: "Second Young Master, the old lady wants you to go back to your old house."
Bai Shengyu suddenly paused while wiping his fingers with a wet wipe.
Came back to his senses, "Then hurry up and leave!"
The vehicle drove away, and police officers ran after it, but they could only see the exhaust fumes of a few luxury cars.
“It’s too late, forget it.”
He spread out the three missing Buddhist beads he picked up from the corner and turned back.
After wiping his hands, Bai Shengyu took out his cell phone that he had turned off before entering the police station. After he turned it on, a large amount of information poured in.
Most of the people in the circle who heard about his summons came to ask if he was okay. Normally he would have replied, but now he was on the way to his old house and he was not in the mood.
Then there was a report on all the work in the company. Seeing that everything was normal, I was relieved.
But when he returned to the old house, he saw that the old housekeeper who had been following his grandma was waiting for him. He was heading not to the main courtyard where grandma lived but to the ancestral hall of their Bai family. Bai Shengyu's face became paler.
“Second Young Master, I can only send you here. Please come in.”
Bai Shengyu looked at the figure standing in the ancestral hall with his back turned to him. When he crossed the threshold, he stumbled due to nervousness. As soon as he stood firm, he heard a majestic voice enter his ears.
“Kneel down!”
