"you……"
Before Gu Mo finished speaking, Fang Zhixu's blue suit suddenly blocked her eyes, and a familiar scent of sandalwood enveloped her.
Fang Zhixu gave Xie Tao a warning look, and without saying any more words, he grabbed her wrist and walked aside with the flow of people.
"You stay away from these people."
Gu Mo immediately pulled out his wrist, "I don't need Boss Fang to take care of who I am talking to and standing with."
Then he walked past Fang Zhixu wordlessly and walked inside.
He didn't stop but actively chased after her.
Chen Fei, who was following behind him, couldn't help but smack his tongue, he's already divorced and he still cares about her so much? Ah Xu is such an infatuated plant! Why haven't you noticed it before?
Xie Tao lagged behind the team, staring sharply at Gu Mo and Fang Zhixu not far away.
Interestingly, it seems that his incompetent brother did not win the beauty in the end.
Entering the tea tasting room, everyone found a place to sit down. The old lady walked to the middle with the help of the housekeeper and a cane.
In order to create an environment for drinking tea, the curtains in the room have been drawn and dim floor lamps are lit. Someone has been specially invited to play the guzheng. The atmosphere is quiet and comfortable. It is indeed a good place for drinking tea.
After the old lady sat down, she spoke:
"The usual tea tasting party is just to invite everyone to drink some tea. Everyone feels a bit boring. This year I changed the method."
"Later, two pots of tea will be served on everyone's table. Whoever can taste the name of the tea in the shortest time, I will give her a big gift."
Everyone who sat down suddenly became interested and started to cheer.
"Then I have to make a serious guess. The old lady's stuff must be good stuff!"
"Hahaha, old lady, don't blame me for taking your gift then!"
This short sentence heated up the atmosphere of the scene a lot. Gu Mo sat down and looked around boredly, but happened to meet the eyes of someone sitting on the right.
"There's a bag of candies in the drawer under your seat. Try it."
If you ask me to taste it, I will. That would be so shameless!
"I don't like sweets."
Gu Mo turned his head back in anger.
Fang Zhixu chuckled, but she was still the same as before. Why didn't she think she was so cute before?
He turned his head and looked at Gu Mo seriously, with a smile on his lips.
The tea tasting party officially began. Many women dressed as servants came in from outside and brought two pots of tea to the table.
Before pouring it out, you can smell the aroma of tea in it.
Fang Yuru, who was sitting on Gu Mo's left, was eager to give it a try.
She had long heard that there would be this part of the tea tasting party, and had memorized the taste of many tea leaves in advance, just to get the top spot in the conference to attract the attention of the old lady and restore her previous image.
Maybe I can move back to my old home after this time!
The guzheng played, a rockery was built in the corner of the room, and the sound of running water gurgled.
Everyone in the venue began to taste tea, and Gu Mo also casually lifted one of the tea cans and poured it out at an angle.
Light yellow tea pours into a small ceramic cup with white smoke.
The aroma of tea immediately hit her face. Before she tasted it, she roughly guessed that this tea was a type of green tea.
First, I took a sip. The tea was slightly astringent, but then it tasted sweet again.
She said without thinking, "Old madam, I guess this tea comes from mountain water."
Many people haven't even scratched the surface, but Gu Mo has already guessed the name?
"No, this should be July Snow!"
Fang Yuru immediately retorted.
Everyone around looked at them in surprise. There were many people who came to the tea tasting party who really knew tea, but no one could guess it. Instead, they were guessed by two young girls?
The old lady smiled and nodded, "Momo, you are so awesome. This mountain water is not an ordinary tea, and you can actually guess it right?"
Gu Mo lowered his head implicitly, "I just happened to taste it once or twice before."
"Consider me lucky."
Fang Yuru on the side twisted her hands tighter, but Chen Xue's words kept echoing in her ears, forcing herself to suppress her anger.
"It's just good luck. I will definitely guess it right next time."
She said unconvinced, and the old lady opposite looked at her, then waved her hand and asked the butler to distribute the remaining pot of tea.
The servants gently placed the tea cups on the table. The teapot was made of purple sand and had ancient glaze patterns on it, which was very beautiful.
Gu Mo smiled and picked up the teapot. Before he poured out the tea, his vision went dark.
The lights in the entire tea tasting room suddenly went out.
"what happened?"
I only heard the serious inquiry of the old lady directly in front, followed by the sound of footsteps.
"Old lady, there may be something wrong with the electrical box. I'll go check it out."
The tea tasting room was already dark because the curtains were drawn, and now there was no light. It was completely pitch black, and many guests complained.
"It's better to open the curtains quickly, it's so dark that you can't see anything."
"Yes, go and open the curtains."
The old lady said seriously and then comforted her, "Don't panic, everyone. This kind of problem rarely occurs in the Fang family villa. It should be because the line is short-circuited for a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, the curtains were opened, and the midday sun shone into the room through the glass, making the room suddenly brighter.
But before anyone could take a breath, they heard Fang Yuru's scream.
"My jade diamond is missing, who stole my jade diamond!!"
"There's a thief, there's a thief here!"
The guests in the room took advantage of the sunshine outside the window to look at Fang Yuru. The old lady was a little impatient, "What's going on?"
Fang Yuru suddenly felt aggrieved, "Old madam, someone stole the jade diamond I wanted to give you. The thief must still be in this house!"
She suddenly stood up and looked around, her eyes immediately locked on Gu Mo. Just now I saw a figure flashing in front of me. It must have been Gu Mo who stole it!
"Don't talk nonsense without evidence!"
The old lady clapped the table at hand angrily and scolded her, but Fang Yuru seemed to have lost her calmness and started biting, "I put this thing on the right hand side, who else could it be if it wasn't her?!"
She and Chen Xue were kicked out of the Fang family and their lives were already very tight. In order to buy this jade diamond, it can be said that they relied on connections and gave money. They originally planned to deliver it to the old lady in person after the banquet to make a sense of presence and then sell it miserably. , so I didn’t give the gift to the butler to keep.
Unexpectedly, during a power outage, this thing was gone!
Who else but Gu Mo was looking at the whole room to see her make a fool of herself!
She ignored the strange looks from around her.
"Gu Mo, take out the things for me, it must be you!"
The old lady showed an impatient expression, raised her hand and was about to stop her, when out of the corner of her eye she saw Fang Zhixu getting up and walking out.
Where is her grandson going?
Gu Mo was too lazy to fight with her to open his hands, "Miss Fang actually said that I took your things, so search me."
"Okay, just search!"
Fang Yuru gestured to move forward, but Gu Mo shrank back, "If you don't find anything, please apologize to me on the spot."
"you!"
Fang Yuru hesitated for a moment, "If you apologize, apologize, you must have stolen this thing!"
She clearly saw a dark shadow flashing past her! It must be Gu Mo at such a close distance!
"Okay, since Miss Fang is so sure, then it's up to you."
Gu Mo took a step forward indifferently, ready to let Fang Yuru search her body. She looked at the time on her watch from time to time, as if she was expecting something.
"Nonsense! You already handed the box to the housekeeper when you first entered the door. I think you have a memory disorder! You still want to search someone else's body!?"
The old lady sat on it and scolded her righteously.
She shouldn't have called Fang Yuru to the tea party. As long as she was there, it wouldn't make people worry! I thought my granddaughter would change, but who knew she would still target Gu Mo for no reason! ?
"No, Madam, I specifically..."
Fang Yuru still wanted to defend herself, but she felt someone slapped her left shoulder hard, and then heard Chen Xue reminding her in a low voice.
"Shut up, have you forgotten the purpose of coming today? Sit down!"
Chen Xue signaled with her eyes, and then pretended to speak softly.
"Yuru, you may have remembered it wrong. I also saw you gave that thing to the housekeeper."
Fang Yuru accepted the words aggrievedly, and had no choice but to follow Chen Xue and said: "Old madam, maybe I remembered it wrong. The box should have been given to the housekeeper for safekeeping."
"Sorry sorry!"
She apologized, then sat down and smiled "hehe", but her eyes turned sinister after scanning Gu Mo.
Gu Mo curled his lower lip and sat down nonchalantly, "It seems that sister Yuru's memory is not very good. Do you want to take some melatonin to replenish your brain?"
Fang Yuru was ridiculed for not finding the missing jade diamond. Fang Yuru was so anxious that she wanted to arrest someone, but Chen Xue beside her reminded her in a low voice, "Just stay here!"
"Miss Gu Mo, Yuru has not been in a very good temper recently, please forgive me."
Gu Mo looked at the two people here casually. It seemed that Chen Xue had improved a lot now and would not fall into her trap easily.
She lowered her head and glanced at the jade diamond in her bag. Taking advantage of the dim light, she gently used her wrist to throw it quietly under the curtain.
Then he stood up and said, "Old madam, let me go to the bathroom. Maybe it's because I drank too much tea."
The old lady nodded in response and glared at Fang Yuru in the distance. Fang Yuru was so stared at that she shrank and dared not say a word.
After leaving the tea tasting room, Gu Mo quickened his pace.
At this time, most of the bodyguards and servants in the Fang family villa were on standby in the tea tasting room, and there was basically no one in other places.
I don’t know if the plan is going smoothly or not.
As soon as she walked outside the villa, she felt something cold approaching her neck, her hair stood up instantly, and a cold voice sounded in her ears.
"Don't move or I'll kill you."
*
In the dark basement, a damp and rotten smell filled the air. There was a person sitting on a rusty stool.
The man's hands were tied behind his back to the back of the stool. His head was drooping with wounds all over his body, and his face was bloody and bloody, making it difficult to see his face.
With a "squeak" sound, the heavy iron door slowly opened.
Da da da……
The delicate leather shoes made a crisp sound when they stepped on the wet ground.
The exquisitely ironed suit trousers were slightly pulled up as he walked, revealing the tattoo on his ankle.
A blooming butterfly, covered in black, with wings spread out like a ghost in the ice.
The person on the stool opened his eyes slightly, but still did not raise his head. He saw the pair of leather shoes getting closer and closer, and the bloody corners of his lips split instantly.
When the man took the last step, he chuckled sinisterly.
"Haha, it is indeed you."
"Double update today~~"
