Chapter 1613
bai wanxi had been very nervous. when she heard that she qi had left, she finally heaved a sigh of relief. ” that scared me to death. i was worried that i would be exposed! ”
“the most dangerous place is also the safest place. she qi probably didn’t expect things to develop like this. however, he’s not a fool and will come back soon. we have to investigate as soon as possible to determine the real purpose of his banquet tonight.” after quan yuan finished speaking, he looked around.
at this time, almost all the guests had arrived, but the scene still looked harmonious, as if nothing was wrong.
however, she qi’s extravagant preparations for such a grand banquet meant that his goal was definitely not as simple as dealing with bai wanxi.
moreover, ever since quan ye had arrived at the venue, he had always felt that there was something wrong with the magnetic field here. as time passed, this feeling grew stronger and stronger, making quan mo unable to ignore it.
“let’s split up and investigate. sister wanxi, you follow me. don’t worry, our people have sneaked into the sheng family and are also investigating. we just need to make sure what’s going on in the venue, and we don’t need to run around.” chi jiao looked at bai wanxi and comforted her.
bai wanxi was indeed a little nervous at first, but when she looked at chi jiao, the uneasiness in her heart quickly dissipated and disappeared completely.
bai wanxi held chi jiao’s hand affectionately and started to walk around the venue with her.
quan yu and beitang lie also split into two groups to investigate.
chi jiao and bai wanxi approached the women and soon noticed something unusual.
it was a banquet held by the sheng family today, and the sheng family was naturally the focus of the entire venue. among them, sheng qian’s aunt, sheng ping, was the strongest woman in the sheng family, and she was always in the limelight at banquets. but today, sheng ping did not seem to be in a good state. she looked ill at ease as she stood in the middle of the crowd. there was not a single trace of her usual natural and unrestrained appearance.
the restrained sheng ping quickly caught chi jiao’s attention.
the women around sheng ping also felt that sheng ping was a little strange today.
mrs. gao from the gao family hugged sheng ping’s arm. ” ” little ping, i know that you are worried about leaving the sheng family to sheng qian. but that is what the old man told you before he died. you can’t disobey him. ”
“ah? oh ... yes, grandpa sheng said it. we should listen.” sheng ping said in a panic.
madam gao was confused by sheng ping’s words.”little ping, are you alright? you’re calling the old man grandpa? he’s your brother.”
“ah ... i, i accidentally forgot.” sheng ping stammered and said with a nervous expression.
“you can even forget this?” among the beautiful women, a young woman looked at sheng ping suspiciously. ” aunt shengping, you look really strange today. ”
“i, i’m fine! “i’m fine. i’m just a little uncomfortable ...” sheng ping stammered, her face flushed with nervousness.
mrs. gao tugged at her companion and said in a low voice, ” ” you said you’re fine, but now you’re saying you’re not feeling well. are you fine or not feeling well? ”
mrs. gao’s companion also lowered her voice and said, ” ” i think she’s gone crazy because the old master didn’t pass the position of the family head to her before he died. ”
“it’s not that bad, right?” as mrs. gao spoke, she did not forget to glance at sheng ping.
and it was also this glance that made sheng ping feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
she was done for. she was exposed!
