Chapter 53: Confused, innocent, and aggrieved
On July 3rd, Cao Dahua came uninvited and brought an invitation, asking Liao Wenjie to attend King Madam's celebration banquet on the evening of July 5th.
This time it's real, it's not a blind date.
The terrorist case at Aiden Smith School had such a huge impact that even London was trembling. When the superiors saw this situation, they asked Madam King to make the celebration banquet more grand. They directly booked a hotel and upgraded it to a commendation ceremony.
Journalists were also invited to attend to reward police officers with outstanding performance.
Liao Wenjie nodded and promised that he would not be absent that night.
Before leaving, Cao Dahua told his address and seat location. Liao Wenjie sat at the family table. There were only relatives and friends at that table, and there were no outsiders.
At the same time, Cao Dahua also warned Liao Wenjie not to dress up deliberately and just look as handsome as usual, so as not to steal the limelight from the tiger of the crime team.
Liao Wenjie repeatedly said yes, saying that he would keep a low profile that day, and then went to attend the celebration banquet the next day.
After July 3rd, July 5th comes right after, and July 4th is completely unreasonable.
Liao Wenjie was not surprised. When he was dating Ali and Sandy, he often encountered dates skipping. If he hadn't developed a good habit of reading the newspaper every morning, pigeons would have been flying all over the sky.
…
Outside the hotel, dozens of police cars parked, and police officers came in one after another, either in civilian clothes or in uniforms, and there were also patrols with loaded guns and ammunition to maintain order at the scene.
Needless to say, the security in the nearby streets must be very good tonight.
Seeing this scene, anyone who had any idea at all would have no idea at all.
Police officers and hotel staff set up a registration desk at the entrance of the hotel. Except for invited media, all other casual visitors were prohibited from entering.
Liao Wenjie took out the invitation, signed his name at the registration desk, and followed the staff's instructions to enter the venue, which was the largest banquet hall in the hotel.
Most of the people had arrived and the scene was very lively.
Because of the presence of media reporters, the scene was not as noisy as Liao Wenjie imagined. Everyone spoke elegantly and behaved generously. At first glance, they were elites in the police community. They were all highly educated and frequently visited high society.
Liao Wenjie found his seat according to the number. The left side was still empty, and the right side was an acquaintance.
He Min.
"Hey, Amin, are you sitting at this table too?"
Liao Wenjie asked in surprise. After He Min answered, he realized that this table was originally occupied by relatives and friends of Cao Dahua and Madam Wang. However, Cao Dahua had enough food for the whole family, and the seats were not full at all. It happened that Zhou Xingxing was in a similar situation, so they were merged into the same table. table.
"Beautiful boy, who are you?"
Across the wine table, an old man thought to be in his seventies asked.
"I am Liao Wenjie, Cao Dahua's nephew. Just call me Ajie."
Liao Wenjie answered politely. He and He Min were the youngest ones at the table. The others, who were in their forties at least, should all be relatives of King Madam.
"Oh, it turns out he is Ada's nephew."
The old man nodded: "Xiao Lian mentioned Ada in front of me and praised him to the sky. She said that he was upright, dedicated to his job, and a rare good police officer. I didn't believe it at first, but I felt relieved when I saw you. ”
Liao Wenjie: (一`一)
What are you worried about?
"Uh, I wonder what your last name is, old man?"
"People become forgetful when they get old. Let me introduce myself. I am Xiaolian's father."
"It turns out it's Wang Weng. I'm rude. I'm rude."
"Haha, you are such a lovable kid, but you don't have to be polite to me, we are all family members."
Wang Weng smiled and narrowed his eyes, and continued the previous topic: "Xiao Lian is very career-minded and has never started a family. She has not arranged blind dates, and no matter how hard she urges her, it is useless. Now she suddenly has a boyfriend, and I am worried that she will be cheated... ...I'm ashamed to say that I thought your uncle was a softie at first, after all, his position is much lower than Xiaolian."
Liao Wenjie: (一一;)
Then your vision is so accurate!
"After seeing you, I feel relieved. Xiaolian said that Ada raised her nephew while working. You are so good, Ada's character will definitely not be bad."
Liao Wenjie: (_)
It is true that Cao Dahua is a soft-hearted person who insists on eating. He has ulterior motives in arranging the seats.
"Ahahahaha————"
A burst of exaggerated and explosive laughter came from a distance. Because it was so devilish, it subconsciously reminded people of derogatory words such as 'daydreaming', 'a toad wants to eat swan meat', and 'a villain becomes arrogant when he succeeds'.
The banquet hall fell silent. When everyone heard the sound, they looked around and saw the area where the Flying Tigers were.
Zhou Xingxing held the wine glass and stared straight ahead. He was so addicted to the dream of the Chief Superintendent that he couldn't help but laugh so much that he lost contact with reality and forgot his last name.
The former colleagues or superiors in the surrounding area all lowered their heads to look for ants. When the reporter's camera turned around, they all shrunk down and tried to hide themselves. They looked embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in on the spot.
What a shame!
Also feeling embarrassed was He Min, who took one look and then stopped looking, for fear that others would know that she was Zhou Xingxing's girlfriend.
My mother is well-educated and beautiful, why did she fall in love with him at that time?
"Don't panic, remember not to look in Ah Xing's direction, otherwise everyone will think we know him."
Liao Wenjie's expression remained unchanged and he whispered a few words. He Min nodded repeatedly. As long as she did not leave the banquet, even if the sky fell, she would still be a passerby with Zhou Xingxing.
"Mr. Liao, what a coincidence, you are here too?"
Liao Wenjie was chatting with He Min when suddenly a strange energy came from behind him. He turned around and saw that it was Long Jiu.
Dress up and look beautiful.
It's a pity that Bingshan's face was arrogant and colder than when they first met, as if Liao Wenjie owed her millions that he hadn't paid back.
"Ajiu, why are you so unfamiliar all of a sudden...Have I offended you?"
Liao Wenjie looked confused, confused, innocent, and quite aggrieved.
"snort!"
Long Jiu glanced at He Min calmly and sat down in the empty seat to Liao Wenjie's left.
After the last meeting, she and Liao Wenjie exchanged phone numbers, but after so many days, Liao Wenjie never contacted her once.
We obviously had a great time chatting at that time, but in the end...
It's quite unpleasant.
Long Jiu felt unhappy. If he didn't feel anything, he wouldn't feel anything. It would be inappropriate to make an appointment for dinner, but everyone should be polite before talking about it. At least it would be acceptable in terms of face.
There was no movement at all, so he left her alone to blow the cold air. Who are you looking down on!
Now seeing He Min, Long Jiu instantly realized that Liao Wenjie was as beautiful as a flower and was just going through the motions with her.
Fortunately, she waited for a call for two days, which means the occasion was not suitable, otherwise she would have turned around and left.
At the wine table, Madam Wang's relatives were sitting upright, chatting about some uninteresting topics, but their attention was entirely focused on Liao Wenjie and the three of them. The handsome man and beautiful woman, the triangular relationship, this gossip was so interesting.
Want to see it, look forward to it.
Even the young king is no exception. His face is solemn, as if he is wandering in the world, but in fact, he pricks up his ears and waits for the next development.
"Ajie, don't you introduce this beautiful girl to you?"
He Min looked strange, and could not help but smile a little at the corners of his slightly narrowed eyes.
"Well, her name is Long Jiu, she is..."
Two minutes later, when he learned that Liao Wenjie and He Min were not a couple, and that He Min's boyfriend was at the scene, Long Jiu was extremely embarrassed and apologized repeatedly for the gaffe he had just made.
So shameful.
With her jealous behavior, she made it clear that she was not asking for trouble. Now she insists that she and Liao Wenjie are ordinary friends. No one probably believes it anymore.
"Don't get me wrong, Ah Jiu and I are really just friends, not what you think."
Liao Wenjie made another move to mobilize the enthusiasm of the onlookers, causing everyone to praise him and Long Jiulang for their talent and beauty.
A mature scumbag never takes the initiative and is only responsible for being handsome. The rest relies on the opponent's own strategy and the assistance of enthusiastic citizens.
