Chapter 305 The three pretenders are here

As the eldest daughter of the Li family, Li Mengluo received strict family education since childhood. Her every word and action must be careful about her appearance and manners. Even eating and dressing have rules.

After graduation, she joined the family business, working diligently and never slacking off. The men she met were intimidated by her family background and her dignified aura, and were all polite and courteous, fearing that they would displease Li Mengluo.

Li Mengluo has long been fed up with the stereotyped image of men.

Her life was dull and orderly, but suddenly she met Li Yan, a mischievous and unruly boy. His behavior was completely unexpected, just like a stone thrown into the lake, causing ripples in all directions. It was unforgettable and Li Mengluo could not forget it for a long time.

I have never seen such a person, it brings me a different kind of excitement.
Even in the subsequent dreams, Li Yan was not so hateful anymore. Instead, he made Li Mengluo blush and her heart beat fast.

After a long time, Li Mengluo found that she no longer hated him. Instead, she was vaguely grateful to Li Yan for adding a bold and colorful stroke to her dull world, adding a few different colors to her memory.

So in subsequent meetings with strange men arranged by her family, she always couldn't help but compare the other party with the young man at the beginning.

I find the other person very boring and I just can't get excited.
In the past two years, Li Mengluo suddenly found that her life was so boring. She used to go home after studying, and later she went home after work.

Li Yan's passing by in his life seemed to have become one of the few interesting scenes worth recalling in his memory, letting him know that life could be so different.

Compared to my own dull life, that kind of free and easy life full of playfulness might be more exciting, right?

Li Mengluo's desire to experience another life became stronger and stronger, and she could no longer bear the repetitive work life day after day and year after year. Finally, when Hong Kong Island attracted the attention of the whole world, she returned to China.

Li Yan was just a passer-by in her life, and Li Mengluo never thought that she would see this person again. It was just that the thrilling incident made Li Mengluo want to try a different lifestyle.

When she saw the young man who had impressed her so deeply at the cocktail party just now, Li Mengluo's heart began to beat violently and her breathing became rapid even from a distance. Li Mengluo thought it was anger and the unwillingness deep in her memory.

So, on impulse, I stepped forward to ask.

Even if that bastard turned into ashes, I would never forget him. I don't know how many times he has appeared in my dreams.

For this reason, Li Mengluo also learned painting in her spare time.

In his spare time, he drew Li Yan's appearance in his own studio.

There was the initial curiosity of looking at the scenery outside the window, the resentment after being despised by oneself, the smugness of standing aside and gloating, the pretended innocence after being exposed, and the final grimace of complacency.

Li Yan’s paintings filled the entire studio. How could Li Mengluo have recognized the wrong person!
But Li Mengluo never dreamed that the other party was still as shameless as he was back then. Even when they confronted each other face to face, he still pretended to be innocent, which was exactly the same as his reaction when he was caught by her on the plane.

This made Li Mengluo laugh, angry, and feel a kind of inexplicable excitement.

After Huang Zhicheng came to rescue, Li Mengluo also found that the other party did not admit it and there was nothing she could do, and there was no other witness at the scene.

The other party kept denying it. This unexpected yet reasonable way of handling the crisis was exactly what the little bastard was good at at the time. It was simply a replay of the scene that day, with a familiar sense of déjà vu. Just based on this point, it was definitely him without a doubt.

But now that you know the other party's identity, there is no need to rush. There will always be a chance to expose the other party.

snort.
Since you pretend not to know me, I will play with you slowly!

In the end, you end up trapping yourself in a trap and shooting yourself in the foot
"Eh? Cousin, you're back?"

"I just heard from my mom yesterday. I said I would go see you when I was free in the next two days. I didn't expect to meet you today?"

A voice rang out, waking Li Mengluo who was lost in thought.

Looking up, Li Mengluo smiled warmly, "It's Qiqiang. You've grown up so big now. You've become a grown man."

Li Mengluo habitually reached out her hand and rubbed Huo Qiqiang's hair, looking at him lovingly as if he were a little brother.

"Oh, cousin, I'm an adult now!"

Huo Qiqiang looked around impatiently, dodging and stroking his hair: "There are so many people here today, don't treat me like a child, I have to save face, okay?"

"Humph, no matter how old you are, you are still the same naked kid with a runny nose and crying in front of me?"

Huo Qiqiang hung his face as if he had lost his parents, and his eyes rolled back.

"Ah!, Lao Chen, long time no see!"

Pretending to meet an acquaintance, Huo Qiqiang wanted to find an excuse to leave. He said that he was promoted to superintendent today and he came here to show off, and he couldn't be disturbed by these people.

Li Mengluo stretched out her hand and nimbly and accurately grasped Huo Qiqiang's tie, and said coldly, "Don't give me that. Do you think I'm your cousin because I haven't been in Hong Kong Island for the past few years?"

Huo Qiqiang said with an embarrassed look on his face: "How could that be? Cousin, I respect and love you as always. It's just that I came here today for a task assigned by my superiors, and I can't be careless!"

"Are you still in the police force?"

"Cousin, what do you mean by 'mixed'? I am now a high-ranking officer in the police force, a superintendent, okay?"

"Then can you help me investigate someone?"

"No problem, cousin, your business is my business. Just tell me who has offended you and I will help you." Huo Qiqiang, who had forgotten the lesson from last time, patted his chest complacently and agreed.

Li Mengluo's eyes lit up, she pulled Huo Qiqiang aside, and carefully pointed at Li Yan in the distance: "That's the young man."

Huo Qiqiang looked carefully and wondered if that was his brother-in-law and Mr. Huang.
'No way? '

'So small?'

'.'

Huo Qiqiang pointed at another gentleman and asked uncertainly: "Is it the one in white clothes and glasses in the distance?"

"No, it's the one standing in front of him, pretending to be holding a glass of champagne, wearing black clothes, and wiping his sweat." Huo Qiqiang suddenly felt that nothing good would happen when he met the cousins ​​of the Li family. They always made him do what they wanted.

So he shrank back and cautiously asked, "Well, how did my brother-in-law offend you?"

Huo Qiqiang's words "brother-in-law" sounded very strange to Li Mengluo, but her heart skipped a beat.

With a "plop" sound, his expression froze.

Her face was slightly hot, her beautiful eyes widened, she glared at Huo Qiqiang fiercely, and angrily said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"What brother-in-law?"

"Uh"

Huo Qiqiang looked at Li Mengluo curiously and asked in surprise: "Cousin, you don't know?"

"what do you know?"

When Li Mengluo saw Huo Qiqiang looking at her as if she were an alien, she felt an ominous premonition looming over her heart. It seemed like she had missed something.
"The man you just mentioned is my brother-in-law, Xin'er's cousin's husband. They got married three months ago. You were in Victoria at the time and didn't come back. Didn't you order a dress for them?"

"Even if you haven't seen him in person, you should have seen his photo, right?"

Li Mengluo's somewhat embarrassed and angry expression suddenly froze and her face turned pale.

Huo Qiqiang's answer was like a thunderbolt from the sky, striking Li Mengluo's heart heavily and rolling through her mind.

"Click..."

It felt like something broke in my heart!

It also seemed as if I had lost something very precious to me, as if the bright color in my life had also been taken away.

Li Mengluo was a little unsteady on her feet and staggered back two steps.

Huo Qiqiang stepped forward to help her: "Cousin, what's wrong with you?"

"Um"

Seeing Huo Qiqiang's suspicious expression, Li Mengluo forced out an ugly smile: "I drank a little too much today. I didn't expect the red wine here to be so strong?"

"Then cousin, can I help you go to the side and rest for a while?"

Li Mengluo was afraid that Huo Qiqiang would notice something, so she calmed herself down and insisted, "No need, it's almost time for today, I'll go back first, you can have fun by yourself."

After saying this, he turned around and left without waiting for Huo Qiqiang to try to stop him.

"about there?"

"Didn't the cocktail party just start?"

Huo Qiqiang asked doubtfully. What he didn't see was that after Li Mengluo turned around, her face was miserable and there seemed to be something wet in the corners of her eyes, which was about to drip under the light.

Seeing his cousin raise her head slightly and walk towards the gate, Huo Qiqiang scratched his head in confusion.

He then put Li Mengluo's matter behind him, straightened his suit, and walked towards Li Yan and Huang Zhicheng.

The three pretenders are all here.
"Inspector Huang, Inspector Li"

"Hey! Inspector Huo is here!"

The three of them looked at each other and instantly understood each other's thoughts. Huang Zhicheng and Huo Qiqiang both had proud and smug expressions on their faces.
Only Li Yan seemed to be thinking about something, as if he was worried about something!

"By the way, brother-in-law, did you just run into my cousin? Why does my cousin not seem very happy?"

Huo Qiqiang brought up something that was not relevant to the topic, and instantly hit the nail on the head for Li Yan.

Li Yan's face suddenly fell: "Children should not meddle in adult affairs?"

"Brother-in-law, you seem to be only one or two years older than me?" Huo Qiqiang said timidly.

“If you’re not married, you’re just a child.”

"Look at your current appearance, you have a frivolous and dissolute air on your face. Young people are not stable. Didn't you get promoted to superintendent?"

"What's there to be proud of? Look at your arrogant behavior now."

"If my aunts saw this, I don't know what they would say to you." Li Yan scolded Huo Qiqiang, making him look embarrassed.

Huang Zhicheng knew where Li Yan's anger came from. Huo Qiqiang was just unlucky and suffered the consequences.

After seeing Li Yan venting his anger, he laughed and said, "Qi Qiang is still young, it's normal for him to be a little impetuous."

"Today we are here to have fun, let's put aside the unpleasant things, come, let's drink."

Li Yan sighed upon hearing this, and said with a look of regret: "Qi Qiang, my aunt has entrusted you to me, so I will be strict with you."

"For Mr. Huang's sake, I'll let it go this time. I won't do it again next time!"
