Chapter 161: Bai Jing's Motivation?
Xin Changjiang and Zhu Hongqin greeted Bai Jing, trying to hide their joy. Especially Zhu Hongqin, holding Bai Jing's hand tightly, chatting and laughing, her affectionateness almost called her daughter-in-law. Just think, which parent doesn't want to have a daughter-in-law like Bai Jing? She is beautiful and sexy, with an extraordinary temperament. The key is that she still has skills. She is the boss of a technology company at such a young age, with a net worth of hundreds of millions! Marrying her is almost equivalent to marrying New World Technology Company.
Xin Changjiang said something to Li Xiaofeng, "Xiaofeng, where is your father?"
Li Xiaofeng said: "My father made an appointment with a very important client today, but he gave me full control over the investment in New World Technology, so I don't have to wait for my father to come. I will talk about the same thing."
Xin Changjiang said with a smile: "It's really a tiger with no sons. You and our family's feathers are the best men in the world. The future belongs to you."
This sentence was actually addressed to Bai Jing, if you are paying for my son, you are marrying the best man in the world.
Li Xiaofeng said politely, "Uncle is too much, I dare not compare with Zhiyu, he has been a role model for me since childhood."
Xin Changjiang smiled, and his eyes finally moved to Ning Tao.
Ning Tao was dressed in plain clothes, with a medicine box on his shoulders and a folding fan on his waist. To be honest, this image is a bit strange. Compared with Xin Zhiyu and Li Xiaofeng, the nose is not the nose, and the eyes are not the eyes.
At this time Zhu Hongqin finally let go of Bai Jing's hand, temporarily ending the "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law" chat.
Xin Changjiang said: "Ah Jing, this is your bodyguard, I'll ask the housekeeper to entertain him later."
Bai Jing pursed her lips and smiled, "Uncle Ding, I can't afford to hire such a bodyguard. This is Dr. Ning Taoning, with superb medical skills. He is the living Hua Tuo in this world."
"Doctor?" Xin Changjiang's reaction was a little strange. He didn't think Ning Tao looked like a doctor, let alone a living Hua Tuo. If such young people are living Hua Tuo, then everyone in the pet hospital is living Hua Tuo.
"Ah Jing, is this Dr. Ning your friend?" Zhu Hongqin also asked.
Before Bai Jing could say anything, Xin Zhiyu said, "Mom, this Dr. Ning is a friend of Qing Zhui's sister, and I invited her here."
Zhu Hongqin said: "So that's the case, then..." She glanced at Xin Changjiang, as if asking for his opinion.
Xin Changjiang said indifferently: "Then let's sit at a table.
"
This reaction was obviously reluctance, but because of the face of his son and Bai Jing, he reluctantly agreed to let Ning Tao sit at the same table with him.
In the Chinese world, dinners have a unique culture, and people of different status cannot sit at the same table for dinner. And even if you sit at a table, how you sit and how you drink wine, there are quite a few things to pay attention to. With Xin Changjiang's status, if it wasn't for the sake of his son and Bai Jing, it would be impossible for him to sit at the same table with Ning Tao for dinner.
Ning Tao said indifferently: "Mr. Xin, I'd better sit at the same table with the housekeeper here. I don't understand how you guys are talking about business."
"That's fine, I'll ask the butler to treat you well later." Xin Changjiang said, he wished Ning Tao could speak out by himself.
Bai Jing looked at Ning Tao with curious eyes, as if trying to guess what Ning Tao was thinking.
Ning Tao actually didn't have any other intentions, he came here for the sake of Bai Jing and Qing Zhui, if not for this reason, even if he was invited to come to Ronghua Mansion with eight sedan chairs, he would not come. Xin Changjiang saw that he was a doctor in a clinic, and his attitude was contemptuous. Although he didn't care, he would not feel comfortable sitting at the same table with someone like Xin Changjiang, so he might as well stay away, out of sight and out of mind.
Qing Zhui said: "Then I will follow you..."
Ning Tao interrupted Qing Zhui, "Be obedient."
Qing Zhui closed his mouth obediently.
A glint of jealousy flashed in Li Xiaofeng's eyes, why couldn't he understand, how could a clinic doctor, He De, be able to make a top-notch beauty like Qing Zhui so obedient?
Entering the hall, the decoration and furniture inside are also antique, as if entering the hall of a certain court official.
More guests came one after another, most of the relatives and friends of the Xin family, these people probably came to see the future daughter-in-law of the Xin family. There are also some important people from the Hongtu Group, who came to discuss business with Bai Jing. When there are more people, the atmosphere will be lively.
Ning Tao didn't join in the fun, so he found a random seat and sat down.
Qing Zhui originally wanted to go with Ning Tao, but Bai Jing asked her to stay. Li Xiaofeng "sneaked in while taking advantage of the situation", pestered her to talk and talk, tried his best to win her favor. But it was an absent-minded attitude, with a pair of eyes always looking towards Ning Tao intentionally or unintentionally.
Ning Tao's eyes were on Bai Jing, and Bai Jing's various reactions along the way made him feel abnormal, and he became more and more suspicious of Bai Jing's ulterior purpose in contacting the Xin family.
Bai Jing and Zhu Hongqin were chatting and laughing, they looked very affectionate, and they really had a sense of "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law" getting along in harmony.
Ning Tao's eyes fell on Zhu Hongqin, and suddenly he remembered something, and said secretly in his heart: "No, Zhu Hongqin, Zhu Hongqin... Her name is only one letter different from Zhu Hongyu, so is it true that she and the third prince Zhu are married?" What does your daughter Zhu Hongyu have to do with it?"
Then, he thought of the character who never showed up, Bai Sheng.
Assuming that Bai Jing followed Bai Sheng's instructions to get in touch with members of the Xin family, then what Bai Sheng and she want is money from the Xin family? I'm afraid not necessarily!
That is to say, after thinking and analyzing, Ning Tao couldn't help but see the skull fragment with Xunzu Dandan formula written on it. He couldn't help getting excited, if the Xin family had Zhu Hongyu's other skull fragments, he would have a chance to get the complete formula of Xunzu Pill!
Afterwards, Ning Tao calmly awakened the state of seeing and hearing skills of the eyes and nose, and a large innate qi field suddenly entered his sight. Everyone's innate qi field is different, and when he is crowded in one space, he will It's like being in a thick dye pool. There are also smells, the smells from different people and different objects poured into his nasal cavity like a flood, without missing any.
However, after some "detection and investigation", he did not catch the smell of Zhu Hongyu's skull, nor did he see any other evil spirits except Bai Jing and Qing Zhui. But he was just trying, and didn't give up. If the Xin family really had Zhu Hongyu's skull, it must have been hidden in a secret room and a safe. How could it be so easy to smell it?
Ning Tao ended his observation and hearing skills, and just quietly observed Zhu Hongqin.
Everything about Zhu Hongqin is normal, she just looks like a pampered woman.
Bai Jing and Qing Zhui naturally became the focus of the audience. Many people were talking about them, and some even boldly guessed when Xin Zhiyu and Bai Jing's wedding would be held. As for Qingzhui, many people think that she is Li Xiaofeng's girlfriend, and Li Xiaofeng is a beautiful couple.
These comments made Ning Tao want to laugh.
When the banquet started, Bai Jing and Qing Zhui were sitting together, and next to the sisters were naturally Xin Zhiyu and Li Xiaofeng. Bai Jing was able to deal with it freely, but Qing Zhui seemed very uncomfortable, and still glanced at Ning Tao from time to time.
Ning Tao sat at a table with a few people he didn't know, and he didn't bother to get to know these people, so he ate something casually and left the banquet hall.
After going out, Ning Tao wandered around the Ronghua Mansion, using his powers of sight and hearing to look for Zhu Hongyu's skull fragments that he guessed might exist.
Unknowingly, Ning Tao came to an ancient building, the door was locked, and there was a plaque on the door, which read the words "Xin Clan Ancestral Hall". In addition to this plaque, this ancestral hall is also a real ancient building. The bricks and tiles are all ancient relics with a history of hundreds of years. It seems that they were bought from somewhere and transported here to be rebuilt.
Ning Tao's nose moved, but he didn't smell anything unusual. But he was still very curious, would there be spirit tablets of people related to Zhu Hongyu enshrined in the clan ancestral hall of the Xin family? Driven by this curiosity, he walked to the locked door.
Suddenly, a sense of crisis hit, it felt like someone was following him with a knife!
Ning Tao turned around abruptly and looked in one direction.
It was a mountain forest behind Ronghua Mansion, with dense trees. A tree swayed for a moment, but was soon still. Apart from this little movement, there is no movement, no innate aura released by life, and no strong evil spirit. What's even more strange is that the sense of crisis that suddenly appeared just now has also disappeared, as if it was just an illusion by chance.
"Mr. Ning, so you are here." A voice came.
Ning Tao looked around and saw a man in a tuxedo walking towards him. It was the housekeeper of the Xin family, and he had given him the seat at the banquet, so I recognized it, but I didn't know the name.
The housekeeper of the Xin family stopped in front of Ning Tao, and said politely: "Doctor Ning, my son invites you to Tingyin Building for tea."
Ning Tao nodded, "Okay, please lead the way."
The steward of the Xin family walked forward to lead the way, and Ning Tao followed slowly, pulling out the indestructible fan with one hand, and gently fanning the wind.
Was the sudden sense of crisis just now just an illusion?
He didn't think so, he'd rather believe it was true.
But just after he left with the steward of the Xin Mansion, the tree shook slightly again...
The housekeeper of the Xin family led Ning Tao to the Tingyin Building, which was a small building built next to a pond, with an antique look. If it were placed in ancient times, it would probably be the embroidery building of a certain Miss Qianjin.
A few girls in palace costumes in the Tingyin Building were performing Kung Fu tea for the guests. Bai Jing and Qing Zhui were sitting at a tea table. Not only were Xin Zhiyu and Li Xiaofeng beside them, but also several young people who rushed over at some unknown time. Male and female. Those young people were all well-dressed and had an extraordinary temperament. Even if they could not compare with Xin Zhiyu and Li Xiaofeng, they would not be far behind.
"Mr. Ning, this is the place, I won't take you in, you can go in by yourself." The housekeeper of the Xin family said.
Ning Tao nodded and walked over.
"Brother Feng, you're not talking about that kid, are you?" A young man saw Ning Tao and said such a sentence.
"Oh, you're still playing with a folding fan, you're really an elegant person." A girl said.
