As a well-known luxury community in Shangcheng District, the courtyard environment of Jingyue Homes is naturally impeccable.
After entering the community, Chen Xiaoxiao was attracted by the greenery in front of her. The greenery was carefully designed and full of beauty without causing aesthetic fatigue.
Bai Mo has no feeling for these scenery. From his painter's point of view, he can even find many flaws.
Chen Xiaoxiao glanced at Lu Wan, who was walking in the front, and whispered to Zeng Hao next to her: "I didn't realize that Captain Lu is still an invisible rich woman!"
Over the past few days, Chen Xiaoxiao has discovered that Lu Wan wears almost the same clothes every day. The upper body is a T-shirt with a dark jacket, the lower body is black sports pants, and high-top sneakers or short boots. The most eye-catching thing is that she wears it. Lips with bright lipstick.
In addition, Lu Wan did not have any accessories on her body, and the car she drove was a Buick Envision. Based on these judgments, Chen Xiaoxiao thought that Lu Wan's family conditions were average in Meihai City.
But now? Lu Wan actually lives in a luxury community in Shangcheng District? Considering Lu Wan's income, Chen Xiaoxiao can only suspect that Lu Wan is a rich second generation.
For this kind of problem, Zeng Hao is the best person to ask.
Bai Mo also had such doubts in his mind, so he got close to the two of them.
Zeng Hao immediately asked Chen Xiaoxiao for some information. Lu Wan's income is not high, but her husband Teng Jie is a well-known mystery novelist. It is said that Teng Jie earns several million every year from the royalties alone. This does not include His income as a psychiatrist.
After hearing this, Chen Xiaoxiao, who lives in an ordinary family, looked at Lu Wan's back with envy, but it was just envy.
Although they have not worked together for a long time, Chen Xiaoxiao can feel that Lu Wan is a very considerate person. Lu Wan will not lose her temper with her subordinates and will not have the airs of a leader. When faced with the mistakes of her subordinates, she will Be patient and guide.
In addition to being a good person, Lu Wan's work ability is beyond Chen Xiaoxiao's reach.
For such a perfect woman, only an outstanding man like Teng Jie is worthy of her.
A group of people followed Lu Wan into Building 10 and reached the top floor. Zeng Hao told them on the way that the small high-rises here are all duplex structures, with two households on one staircase. Lu Wan’s home is on the top floor of Building 10, and the top floor The two houses belong to Lu Wan's family.
As soon as the door opened, Bai Mo could smell the aroma of the food. The aroma was so fragrant that Bai Mo couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"No need to change shoes." Lu Wan confessed and walked in, followed by others.
Bai Mo was the last one to go in. He walked through the entrance hall and came to the living room. He saw a little girl in a skirt running towards Lu Wan.
"Mom!" The little girl's voice was as clear and sweet as a silver bell.
Lu Wan picked up the little girl, turned around and looked at the people behind her, "This is my daughter Teng Yujing, just call her Jingjing."
Xiao Jingjing blinked strangely, and smiled happily when she saw Zeng Hao, "Hello, Uncle Zeng!"
Zeng Hao walked up and touched Xiao Jingjing's head, "Okay! Xiao Nizi has grown taller."
Lu Wan put Xiao Jingjing down, squatted next to Xiao Jingjing, and pointed at the two people walking at the end, "That's Uncle Bai Mo, and that's Aunt Chen Xiaoxiao."
Xiao Jingjing followed Lu Wan's finger and looked towards Bai Mo. She first looked at Chen Xiaoxiao and said hello to Chen Xiaoxiao. When she saw Bai Mo, her eyes suddenly lit up and the smile on her face became even sweeter, "Uncle Bai Mo so hot!"
Being complimented on his appearance by a seven-year-old girl, Bai Mo felt his face burning up and he smiled awkwardly.
"Well, Teng Yujing!" Zeng Hao looked unhappy, pinched his waist and said, "You know who the handsome guy is at such a young age? Am I not a handsome guy?"
Xiao Jingjing pursed her lips arrogantly, pinched her waist and looked at Zeng Hao, "No!"
Everyone in the living room was made to laugh. Fortunately, the person being laughed at was Zeng Hao. He shook his head, walked to the sofa and sat down, pretending that he didn't hear anything.
Bai Mo also came to the sofa and sat down. He was immediately attracted by the drawing board on the coffee table, which was a watercolor painting.
The content of the painting is very simple. It depicts a family of three walking hand in hand on the beach. The painting style is immature and many common details are missing. It was obviously painted by Xiao Jingjing.
"Uncle, do you like painting?" Xiao Jingjing stood beside Bai Mo at some point, with a hint of expectation in her voice.
Before Bai Mo could speak, the big-mouthed Zeng Hao immediately said, "You don't just like painting? Your uncle graduated from a famous foreign art school and is a painter!"
"Wow!" Xiao Jingjing showed admiration in her eyes for a moment, and tugged on Bai Mo's sleeve with her little hand, "Uncle, can you help me finish this painting? This is an assignment assigned by the teacher. I always feel that I can draw it well. not good."
Speaking of the latter part, there was a hint of grievance in Xiao Jingjing's tone, which made Bai Mo not know how to refuse.
Bai Mo looked at Lu Wan for help. This was Xiao Jingjing's homework, and Bai Mo didn't know if he could help.
"Help her draw!" Lu Wan took off her coat and hung it on the hanger at the door. "Family members can help with this homework. The focus is on the speech next Monday. It won't be in the way." After that, Lu Wan walked into the kitchen. .
Lu Wan was really attentive, and she could tell Bai Mo's thoughts just by looking at him.
With the captain's approval, Bai Mo directly picked up the drawing board and looked at Xiao Jingjing tenderly, "Tell me about your mood when you were at the beach with your parents that day."
Later, Xiao Jingjing began to recall the scene of playing with her parents at the beach that day. Lu Wan rarely accompanied her daughter due to work, so this rare family outing left a seven-year-old girl fresh in her memory.
Others became spectators, watching Bai Mo help Xiao Jingjing complete a beautiful memory.
During this period, Teng Jie, wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen carrying a large plate and greeted everyone with a smile.
After a while, the table was filled with dishes.
Teng Jie came behind Bai Mo and Xiao Jingjing while inviting everyone to come over for dinner, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Bai Mo's painting has been completed. He did not repaint it, but made modifications based on Xiao Jingjing's original painting, including the coloring of the sea and beach, the sunset about to set on the sea level, and the family's stay on the beach. footprints······
What shocked Teng Jie was that when he looked at the painting, he seemed to feel the happiness of the family in the painting. Vaguely, Teng Jie even felt that this happened just yesterday.
"Uncle, you are really amazing! Not only are you handsome, but your paintings are also so handsome. I will definitely get the first place in the speech next Monday!" Xiao Jingjing held the painting to her chest excitedly.
Apparently even Xiao Jingjing felt the magic in the painting, and the painting made her full of confidence.
"Awesome!" Teng Jie patted Bai Mo on the shoulder and exclaimed, "I never thought that a painting with this kind of artistic conception could be painted with just some watercolor brushes."
Bai Mo looked at Xiao Jingjing with a doting look on his face, "Jingjing described it well, I just drew the scene she described."
"Haha!" Teng Jie took Bai Mo's arm and helped him up, "Let's go! It's time to eat."
After coming to the table and sitting down, Teng Jie took out two bottles of white wine from the wine cabinet.
He asked Lu Wan: "Who will be on duty tomorrow?"
Sun Xiaokai quickly raised his hand. This is a habit among everyone. You can drink on weekends, but the people on duty don't drink.
Teng Jie took out another wine glass and started pouring wine. Bai Mo roughly counted, except for Xiao Jingjing and Sun Xiaokai, each of them had a wine glass.
Just when Bai Mo was hesitating whether to refuse the drink, Teng Jie had already handed a glass of wine to Chen Xiaoxiao, "Girl from Meihai City, don't you know how to drink?"
Chen Xiaoxiao smiled and took the wine glass without hesitation.
Bai Mo was embarrassed now. He never expected that the gentle Teng Jie would believe in the saying that people in Dongtai Province drink alcohol just like Bai Yonghui did.
What made Bai Mo even more embarrassed was that Chen Xiaoxiao actually drank. Wouldn't it be too disappointing if he didn't drink at this time?
Even though he felt miserable, Bai Mo still took the wine glass from Teng Jie.
Thinking about the embarrassing scene when he drank with his father at home last time, Bai Mo couldn't help but sweat for himself. Now he could only pray that these people don't drink as much as Bai Yonghui.
It's a pity that Bai Mo only knew how to draw in the first twenty years without any study of human nature. As a newcomer to the police force and an important figure in solving Lu Yajun's serial murder case, how could he escape?
In less than half an hour, the two bottles of liquor had reached their bottom. Teng Jie took out two more bottles from the wine cabinet without any intention of ending.
Bai Mo was already unconscious. He only knew that everyone was happy. During the year Lu Wan was studying in Kyoto, everyone had no chance to drink together.
Fortunately, after the third bottle of wine was opened, no one took the initiative to ask Bai Mo for a drink. Everyone's targets became Teng Jie and Lu Wan.
I don’t know how long it took, but little Jingjing had been sent to the bedroom to sleep. Bai Mo glanced at the small bottle of Corona beer that appeared on the table, picked up one, and walked to the balcony with staggering steps, overlooking the community. night view.
"The environment here should be in line with your aesthetics, right?" Teng Jie's voice sounded in Bai Mo's ears.
Looking from the side, Teng Jie was leaning against the window holding a bottle of beer.
"It's really good." If Teng Jie didn't have beer in his hand, Bai Mo would tell him his opinions in detail. Now he just felt that Teng Jie came to him for a drink.
Teng Jie smiled, moved towards Bai Mo, and lowered his voice and said, "There is a very interesting painting in my study upstairs. Would you like to go over and take a look?"
When he heard about the painting, Bai Mo's eyes were as excited as Zeng Hao when he heard the gossip, and most of his drunkenness disappeared.
Teng Jie didn't care about the people who were still drinking and chatting in the restaurant, and led Bai Mo upstairs.
Seeing Bai Mo and Teng Jie going upstairs, Zeng Hao suddenly felt like gossiping. He held the wine glass and looked at Lu Wan opposite.
"Sister! Why is Bai Mo following his brother-in-law upstairs?" Zeng Hao asked.
At this moment, Lu Wan's face was slightly red. She held the wine bottle and groaned dissatisfiedly, complaining, "Why don't we go see his painting where no one can find the murderer?"
