Chapter 166 Weird Dinner Party
Some people have said that people have begun to face parting inevitably from the moment they are born. People's life is very long. Not everyone you meet can accompany you to the end. There will always be people who will keep getting acquainted with you. Then fade out of your life.
With sadness and pain, we always have to pack our bags and start again. Only those who are not afraid of separation can face the future bravely.
As night fell, in the terrifying castle in the northernmost part of the Imperial Capital, the Ning family originally chose a suburb far away from the Imperial Capital when they built this castle. There was little land, but fortunately, the person in charge of the Ning family had a sharp eye and bought all the land within a two-kilometer radius.
Therefore, the nearest light source was the streetlights in the castle and the light from the windows. Bai Xun looked at the dark road outside through the car window, and the gloomy emotions in his heart rose more and more.
"Isn't this Ning family a big family? Why didn't even light on the lights along the way, it was pitch black." Bai Xun frowned.
Gu Jiusheng hugged her and glanced outside, his eyes were flat and unwavering, "Ning Zhen has a weird temperament and is famous for being a pervert outside, but now it seems to be true."
His words made Bai Xun's eyebrows and eyes rise even more, staring at the man in front of her with a funny look, she said, "It's just that the lights are not lit, why do you think they are perverted, didn't you like lighting lights in the East District before? "
Besides, they just didn't light the street lights, and it wasn't like he did not light up the whole house, and it was pitch-dark when he looked around. He was blessed with spiritual power, so he was more sensitive to hearing, smell, and vision than ordinary people. Many, he can see without turning on the lights.
I just feel sorry for the bodyguard who is on duty in the East District.
"Are you helping him?"
The man's voice was low, the corners of his eyes were lowered, sharp and stylish, and he didn't look angry and arrogant, but at this moment Bai Xun could see the meaning of threat.
"Baby, I remember he seemed to propose to you last time, right?" His fingertips slowly descended along Bai Xun's eyebrows and fell on her white neck.
Because of what happened last time, Gu Jiusheng originally refused to agree to her coming to Ning's house. If it wasn't for her stern face, Gu Jiusheng would not have agreed to her coming.
Bai Xun himself had forgotten that Ning Wei seemed to have really proposed to her last time.
"It's not like that." Bai Xun rubbed his face, "I saw last time that he didn't have that kind of sincerity in his eyes!"
Bai Xun clenched his fists and said loudly, "That kind of marriage proposal without any sincerity is not a real proposal!"
So you don’t have to worry about such trivial things, okay?
Gu Jiusheng raised the corners of his mouth, his brows stained with a smile, and leaned in to touch the tip of her nose with her eyes facing each other, "Baby, do you still have time to look at his eyes carefully?"
The development direction of this problem has been in a more and more crooked direction.
"I seem to have forgotten to ask. When you two get along with each other, besides seeing the insincerity in his eyes, what else do you see clearly?" The man raised his hand and pinched the back of her neck gently. It's like pinching a chick.
"No, I didn't see anything clearly, we had a fight, I told you." Bai Xun shrank his neck and looked at him with big watery eyes.
The man rubbed the soft flesh on the back of her neck with his fingertips, like in Ling Chi, when he was serious, Bai Xun really felt a little worried.
"Really, I thought you really liked him."
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so protective, would it?
Bai Xun thought of the 100 advantages of her husband that she wrote out under his persecution last time. Facing such a big jealous jar, she absolutely cannot understand it with a normal person's thinking, otherwise it will be over.
"how is this possible!"
The girl in the back raised her voice, which caused the driver to look back, but in the back compartment covered by a thick black screen, nothing could be seen. However, the relationship between Jiuye and his wife is getting better and better, which is a good thing. .
With his wife by his side, Jiuye usually looks much better, and he no longer tortures people casually.
"My husband is the most perfect person in the world, the most handsome, the best temperament, the best voice, and the best person to me!" Bai Xun hugged the man and rubbed it, as if hugging the master thigh cat.
Su Niannian said last time that this kind of contrast can only make men soft-hearted, so she just gave it a try.
"He can't even compare to my husband's fingers, how could I be in a relationship, it's impossible." Bai Xun vowed.
As if making an oath in front of him, Bai Xun almost raised three fingers to swear.
"Oh? Really?" The man looked at her with a half-smile.
Bai Xun smiled and hugged his neck desperately, "I'm not stupid, don't worry, even if there is someone more handsome than you in this world, I will never leave you, I will never leave you. It's up to you."
Gu Jiusheng hugged her arms, rubbing her chin against Bai Xun's fluffy hair, and the smile on her thin lips was incomparable.
"Okay, this is what you said, I'll believe you." Gu Jiusheng hugged her hand tightly.
Bai Xun raised his eyebrows, this person is really, I don't know how to be so happy, and now he is still pretending to be calm, really.
"This evening is not an important occasion. You don't have to come here. You can rest with Yan Xi at Quan's house. What are you doing here?" Gu Jiusheng rubbed her chin on the top of her head.
"Ning Zhen can go to Bai's house to attend a banquet across a country, and he is also a spiritualist. I even doubt that he knows my origin."
This is the purpose of her coming here. Forget about the evil spirits who appeared in country A, the people who appeared here must have something to do with Ning Xiao. What she wanted to know from Ning Xiao was why Ning Xiao found her .
"You are suspicious. Those who attacked Yan Xi are also from the Ning family." Gu Jiusheng said.
"Yes, according to the information we have now, we can confirm with a 70% probability that the person who attacked Yan Xi is the Ning family."
But Ning Wei is also an ordinary person with a mortal body. Even if there is a chance to practice some power with Xiuling, it is still impossible to know too much. Even, with his power, it is impossible to see It can be seen that Yanxi has a soul attached to Qiao'er.
Behind this Ning Zhen, I'm afraid there are still experts.
"Ning Wei dared to invite us directly like this, I'm afraid he will do it without leaking, and it may be difficult to find out." Bai Xun said.
"It's just a little boy hiding behind his back and doing some small things, don't worry." Gu Jiusheng comforted.
Bai Xun is actually more, in addition to curiosity, he also has some worries. What are the origins of those people, he can know the origins of her and Gu Jiusheng, and he keeps an eye on her, and even wants to kill her several times.
If she couldn't find it clearly, she would feel like a big rock was pressing down in her heart, and she could never feel at ease.
A row of army green cars drove the road. There were eight cars in total. All of them were soldiers under Quan Jingting, who were responsible for protecting their safety. The world, the entire M country, he can swagger to and fro freely.
The winding road passed quickly, and with a distance of about 2,000 meters, Bai Xun saw the lights lit up not far away, the only warmth in this wilderness.
A gate with a carved fence appeared in front of them. The huge courtyard was snow-white. Under the illumination of all the lights in the courtyard, all the conditions in the courtyard could be clearly seen. A road that was swept out led straight to the innermost castle, the castle. The surging fountain in front brings the sparse rigidity.
The butler stood at the door with two rows of servants, smiling and waiting for the distinguished guests to get off.
The two black car doors in the center opened, Gu Jiusheng got out of the car first, and reached out to half hug the people in the car. All four of them were wearing casual clothes, but Quan Jingting was wearing a straight military uniform.
Yan Yi and Mo Han handed over the gifts they brought, and the servant behind the housekeeper came over to receive the gifts and quietly returned them to stand.
"Dignified guest, please come with me." The butler stepped forward and led them into the hall.
Bai Xun raised his eyebrows, this Ning Xiao didn't come out to meet Quan Jingting. I don't think he is someone who would bend his back for power, but would this birthday be too casual? The feeling of Hongmen banquet.
Will the four of them be served in one pot at the end?
"It was really a light meal. It was very quiet along the way. I didn't see any other cars parked here. Why is the birthday of the head of the Ning family so low-key?" Qingyue said.
Ning Zhen's arrogant temperament, even if his birthday is not big, he can be so low-key, instead of inviting people who are too close, he invites them. What's going on?
"There won't be anything strange here." Bai Xun replied.
Quan Jingting raised his eyes, and the epaulettes on his shoulders flickered in them, "Never mind, Ning Xiao won't be stupid enough to attack us, just treat it as a meal and eat it."
No matter how much Ning Xiao wanted to compete with Gu Jiusheng, he would not be stupid enough to count Quan Jingting into account. This is not something a smart person would do. He couldn't handle offending a Gu Jiusheng, let alone still with him. Quan Jingting, whose own country occupies an important position.
The housekeeper brought people into the hall. The magnificent decoration was astounding. Unlike the traditional pavilions and pavilions of the Gu family, the style of this place was mostly ornate. Crystal chandeliers underline the taste and lustre here.
"Young Marshal Quan, Jiuye, it's been a long time." Ning Wei, dressed in a white tuxedo, walked downstairs slowly.
The tail of the man's eyes is flying, his silver-white pupils are extraordinarily arrogant, his figure is very good, and he is also a natural clothes hanger. God has given Ning Qian such a family background and appearance, which is considered to be the best of benevolence and righteousness.
"Thank you for your appreciation, it is a great honor to be able to receive your blessings." Ning Wei said and saluted properly.
Bai Xun looked at this person, and at first glance, he thought it was very polite, and he didn't seem like someone who would do cunning things. Those so-called rumors above are not too gullible to the other party's words.
"Don't be so polite, it's not necessarily here to bless you." Gu Jiusheng, who was beside Bai Xun, seemed to speak unintentionally, but in fact his words were full of provocation.
Ning Zhen smiled without saying a word, and didn't mind at all, "Jiu Ye still likes to joke so much."
Gu Jiusheng didn't like Ning Xiao at first. People like him are always arrogant. If he doesn't like it, he doesn't like it. In addition, the incident at the last banquet made his favorability for Ning Xiao drop from zero to a negative number. If it wasn't for Bai Xun today Come over, he will not choose to accompany him.
So don't delusionally think that he came with a blessing, and he came here without a curse, that is, he has done the best of righteousness.
"Did we meet this young lady at the Bai family's banquet last time? Miss Bai? Welcome to the Ning family." Ning Xiao stretched out his hand, and the jade-white palm was particularly beautiful.
People are saying hello. Before Bai Xun could reach out, Gu Jiusheng hugged her and said aloud.
"This is my wife. You can shake hands to say hello, and I didn't have a good introduction to Mr. Ning last time."
"Is that Mrs. Ninth?" Ning Zhen's face remained unchanged, as gentle as jade, "I'm rude."
Qingyue raised her eyebrows, what kind of miraculous relationship is this? Ning Xiao paid more attention to Bai Xun than to them. In a trance, he thought that the main guest of his banquet tonight was Bai Xun. .
They are all foils.
"Mrs. Quan, hello." Ning Wei didn't stop too much on Bai Xun, and turned his eyes to Qingyue.
Bai Xun looked around the entire hall. Although it was a retro and pure European architectural style, Bai Xun saw a lot of Feng Shui furnishings from the moment she entered the door. She had read about Feng Shui from books.
This Ning Zhen is real, quite superstitious.
"Everyone, please come to the table, let's chat while eating." Ning Xiao said and led the way to the restaurant.
Bai Xun squeezed Gu Jiusheng's hand tightly, she vaguely felt something was wrong here, the man looked down at her and patted the back of her hand soothingly.
The dining table is seven meters long, covered with a red gilt-patterned tablecloth, with golden tassels hanging from the bottom. The candlesticks on the table are neatly placed, including the knives, forks, and dishes. The thing is handmade by an expensive master.
There are several famous paintings hanging in the restaurant, mainly abstract paintings. They were all masters who once dominated the auction market, but they all appeared in the Ning family's home.
"It's the first time I've come to my house, so I don't need to be restrained, so I'm free." Ning Wei smiled brightly in the main seat.
"Mr. Ning doesn't have to be so polite, we are honored to have your invitation, and you don't have to be too restrained." Quan Jingting replied formulaically.
Everyone talks with a smile, but who knows how deep the smile is.
The housekeeper led someone to start serving the food. Bai Xun sat quietly on the seat and looked at the servant who started serving the food. Compared to her vigilance, the man beside her was more relaxed, resting her chin with one hand.
"Let's have a drink at the bar first. These are all good wines in my collection. Last time I couldn't have two drinks with Jiuye, but I always remembered it in my heart."
The servants beside Ning Xiao wore white gloves and quietly walked over with wine bottles in their hands and started adding wine one by one. Although Bai Xun didn't know much about wine, he knew the smell of grapes from the red wine. The price is not low.
Bai Xun sniffed the aroma in the wine glass, the aroma was good, she liked it very much.
"Ninth Master, I'll give you a toast. What happened last time was a misunderstanding. It's because you and Miss Bai didn't announce their marriage at that time. I thought that Miss Bai was unmarried, so naturally I couldn't help it." Raised the cup in his hand.
Bai Xun listened to this, why did it feel so wrong? It really doesn't seem to be the case in other people's ears.
"What misunderstanding?" Gu Jiusheng stared at the person opposite, his eyelids moved lazily, and looked at Bai Xun beside him, "Wife, what does he mean by that?"
Bai Xun smiled, "Mr. Ning and I had a bit of a misunderstanding last time. Now that we have solved it, I didn't tell you about the non-important things."
Being able to let Ning Yu use the words he said on the table on such an occasion, but was taken away by the other person's understated sentence that was not important, I am afraid that any man would feel uncomfortable.
But who is the person on the opposite side, the person who can lead the Ning family, I have never seen such a small scene, but I know how to go down the steps for myself.
"Mrs. Jiu doesn't blame me. Naturally, there is no misunderstanding between the two of you. Of course, it is very good." Ning Xiao raised the glass in his hand, "I will finish this wine first."
Looking at Ning Xiao who drank the wine in his glass, Quan Jingting sat upright and his eyes were full of excitement. This Ning Xiao and Gu Jiusheng can be considered to be mutually supportive. After fighting for so many years, he didn't watch it that time. lively.
However, if he can become Gu Jiusheng's opponent, this Ning Zhen is naturally not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he is very accurate.
"Looks like it's the right time." He chuckled softly.
Qingyue looked at him and smiled while dangling the glass of wine, although it was not clear why Ning Wei invited them together, but she and Quan Jingting came to join in the fun, which is true.
It doesn't matter how this evening develops, they just sit and watch the play.
When the appetizers came, Bai Xun stared at the lamb chops on the plate. The taste of these foods was definitely not as good as that of Chinese food.
Gu Jiusheng moved gracefully and slowly cut the meat on his plate into small pieces and moved it to Bai Xun skillfully.
Ning Zhen held the knife and fork and saw the man's movements in a high-pitched tone, "I didn't expect Jiuye and his wife to have such a good relationship, I really envy others."
"It's a bit surprising for you to say such a thing. Outsiders don't know that the famous women's cave of the Ning family is full of stunning beauties. Your peach blossoms have never been broken."
Hearing Gu Jiusheng's words, Ning Xiao burst into laughter, "How come Jiu Ye believed the rumors outside, if I really have a woman's cave, why am I entertaining the two of you tonight, I don't have anyone to accompany me? on."
"I think there are too many people you are in love with, so you can't pick them out." Gu Jiusheng was talking to Ning Xiao now, and it seemed like an old friend.
"Haha." Ning Zhen laughed heartily, "Jiuye doesn't know the pain in my heart."
"Indeed, I don't know the suffering, it's enough to have my daughter-in-law by my side."
After this, Qingyu and Bai Xun were busy eating. What they said was a thorn in the dark, and it sounded extremely uncomfortable. Now they only need to have enough to eat, and the rest is not within their consideration.
Qingyue chewed the lamb chops in her mouth, her brows and eyes twitched happily, Bai Xun also had the same expression, she never liked eating these things, but this time, the meat melted in the mouth and tasted great.
"Is it delicious?" Gu Jiusheng held the napkin and gently wiped off the oil stains from the corners of the girls' mouths, with a very intimate gesture.
Bai Xun nodded, this is the best food she has ever eaten, and the taste of a five-star chef is not as good as this.
This chef's craftsmanship even surpasses that of the Gu family's chef, which is quite rare.
"Looks like the two ladies really like the taste." Ning Wei said, looking at the expressions of the two.
Qingyue said politely, "I don't know how this is made, it tastes great, and the best chef's lamb chops I've ever eaten have never been able to do this."
Ning Xiao shook the wine glass on his hand, and the bright red liquid brought out the fragrance, "What kind of meat are you two eating when you eat this meat, there are always delicious foods that humans have never tasted in this world, for example, humans themselves may be the best delicious foods. Woolen cloth."
Bai Xun was stunned for a while, then looked down at the contents on the plate, even Qingyue was the same.
"What does Mr. Ning mean?" Bai Xun asked.
"Isn't the cooking process all the same? Since people do it the same way, the problem must be the material. If you choose the most delicate part of a fifteen-year-old girl and cook it by the best chef, Wouldn't it be delicious when served on the table?"
Bai Xun held the knife and fork for a while, but she would not be stupid enough to think that the meat on this plate was human flesh. She is a doctor, and mutton can be used as medicine to a large extent, so she has been making prescriptions for a while. Have had lamb for a while.
The missing fifteen-year-old girl, her hand holding the fork clenched tightly, what Ning Xiao said meant something.
"Pop" Quan Jingting placed the cup in his hand neither light nor heavy, and looked at the person opposite quietly, "Mr. Ning, what do you mean by this?"
"What do you mean? I think Master Quan is the clearest. Quan Jun traced the missing girl and found my Ning family along several lines. Don't you think that this person was taken away by my Ning family?" Ning Xiao leaned back and sat lazily against the back of the chair.
The case of the missing girl, Bai Xun also heard Yan Yi talk about it twice. In the case of missing girls in country A, most of the girls had worked in entertainment venues and companies under the Ning family's name. They must be in country M. The same is true.
All the spearheads were directed at the Ning family. If Ning Wei asked this question, I am afraid that the investigation during this period of time was too much, and they couldn't bear it anymore.
"My people all act in accordance with the rules and regulations, and they will not wrong a good person." Quan Jingting said calmly.
This kind of thing is not something he can interfere with. The people under his command follow the evidence and find out whoever is in the head is who it is. If their evidence is sufficient, I am afraid that Ning Xiao will not sit still intact now. here it is.
"Really?" Ning Wei chuckled and looked at Gu Jiusheng.
"Then what about Jiuye, your subordinates cut off five of my cargo ships in Mingyuan in a row, with five billion worth of goods in a row. Does Jiuye also suspect that I have any signs of wrongdoing?"
The business exchanges are naturally rewarding. Ning Xiao can invite them over tonight, naturally it will not be as simple as a meal.
"The Ning family and the Gu family have never lived together peacefully. As for why, you should think about it before asking me. What happened to the supply of goods that was cut off for my Gu family? If you come to join me to start a teacher and ask for guilt, the debt between us will not be clean." Gu Jiusheng teased.
Listening to the words of the two of them, Ning Xiao nodded, his face changed like a breeze passing the border, and his face was warm, "Yeah, I'm too stingy, but I'm not inviting you here today for these things, business is business. , our friendship is friendship, and naturally it cannot be broken."
The meals were served one by one. Qingyue and Bai Xun ate quite well. Both of them were big-hearted people. Don't say that human flesh is not human flesh. Start with them.
Almost when the dinner was about to end, Ning Wei raised his hand and called the housekeeper to come over, not knowing what to say in a low voice.
"Since the two ladies are so curious about this meal, I will ask the chef to come and meet you."
Soon the person who made these meals came out quickly. Bai Xun saw the white chef's uniform on him and the black apron tied around his waist. The boy's facial features were exquisite, and upon closer inspection, he looked a little childish. Black and white short hair, fair skin, and this castle, if the lips are brighter, I am afraid it is similar to the vampire in the dark night.
But the most surprising thing is that he looks very young, probably in his early twenties.
"This is the chef who is cooking for us tonight. You can ask him any questions you have." Ning Xiao snapped his fingers.
Ning An bowed to the four of them and stood quietly beside Ning Zhen. In contrast, the facial features of the two were somewhat similar.
"What is the relationship between the two of you?" Bai Xun asked.
At first glance, you can tell that he is Ning Zhen's brother, he looks so similar.
"Mrs. Jiu has a good look, this is indeed my brother, Ning An."
Bai Xun glanced at Gu Jiusheng. In all the information given by the outside world, Ning Qi was the only child of the Ning family. When will there be another Ning An.
And, if it is a well-hidden child, why would Ning Zhen let him out?
"Brother?" Ning An looked at her brother in surprise.
It’s clear that I’m just out to cook. Even if I introduce him to a guest, I won’t introduce his identity. Why does my brother speak evil now?
"It's okay, you should know both of them." Ning Wei pointed at Quan Jingting and his wife, and then introduced Gu Jiusheng, "That's Gu Jiuye and his wife, Miss Bai, who I mentioned to you."
Ning An looked at Gu Jiusheng with more hostility in his eyes, this is the opponent that my brother told him about, right?
"You made all these meals?" Qing Yue asked.
This Ning An looks young enough to be able to make such delicious food. The star chefs in the restaurant are not as good as him. He looks like a very capable boy.
"Yes." Ning An bowed his head.
Big brother said, this is a very important guest, he has to be obedient, and no matter what, he can't trouble big brother.
"It's amazing." Qing Yue praised her twice.
Bai Xun stared at Ning An for a long time, until the man under the table squeezed her hand tightly, and she came back to her senses.
"Do you really like these meals?" Ning Xiao asked.
Quan Jingting replied following Qingyue's words, "It tastes really good."
After all, the wife's face is to be given. If the wife says it is delicious, it must be delicious.
"Ninth Master is my honorable guest. Let me see it this way. You go in and make two desserts and bring them back to the two wives later." Ning Yu said.
Bai Xun and Qingyue looked at each other and didn't say anything to refuse, they saw the boy obediently walk back into the kitchen.
After all, it’s someone else’s territory, so they can’t say anything, they eat whatever they give.
"My little brother likes to run into the kitchen when he has nothing to do. He learned two tricks from the chef at home, and the food he cooks now is quite delicious." Ning Wei looked back at Ning An and said.
"Indeed, it is really amazing to have such achievements at such an age." Bai Xun said along the way.
Ning Yan's eyes fell on Bai Xun, "I heard that Mrs. Jiu entered the Gu family by herself to see a doctor for Mrs. Gu, and there are many rumors outside that the Miss Bai recovered by the Bai family has far superior medical skills. You have passed the original Bai family, and you were once the winner of the first place in the International Medicine Competition, so your achievements are much higher than your younger brother."
This Ning Zhen has collected quite a lot of information.
"There are achievements in each industry, and we can't compare them like this." Bai Xun said with a smile.
In just five minutes, the housekeeper hurried over, "Patriarch, the second young master vomited blood and fainted."
Ning Zhen's face changed, and he hurriedly got up and rushed over. Bai Xun curiously glanced at it, but was detained by the man beside him.
"You also think it's weird here, don't you?" Bai Xun grabbed him and asked curiously.
Gu Jiusheng's face was cold and hard, he pushed the dessert in front of her, and reached out to touch her face, "Eat well."
Seeing the unpredictable look on the man's face, Bai Xun snorted, lowered his head and started scooping the pudding with a spoon, this man really is.
I don't know what the situation over there is like. She is a very curious doctor. When I first saw Ning An's face just now, I felt that something was wrong. The complexion of a normal person would not be that white.
The housekeeper hurried back to Bai Xun again, "Our master asked me to come over and ask Mrs. Jiu to take a look, and ask Mrs. Jiu to save our second young master!"
Bai Xun raised his head and glanced at Gu Jiusheng, the man put down the cup.
"Since people have sent an invitation, let's go and see"
