Xingnian Tea House

"The quickest way to know the truth is to get close to him, the closer the better!"

Looking at Qiao Xingnian who was close at hand, Lin Nanyue unconsciously held his breath, his face slowly turning red.Just when he was suspicious, Qiao Xingnian opened the distance between the two of them.

Qiao Xingnian pretended to be strange and asked: "Captain Lin, why are you blushing again? It shouldn't be hot in this private room."

Lin Nanyue looked directly at Qiao Xingnian. If he was only suspicious just now, now he is sure that Qiao Xingnian must have done it on purpose.He mustered up the courage to ask, "You know?"

Qiao Xingnian's heart tightened. He just wanted to tease Lin Nanyue just now, but he never thought that it would make him suspicious.

"what do you know?"

Seeing Qiao Xingnian's blank eyes, Lin Nanyue doubted his guess again, "I know who the person I like is."

Qiao Xingnian smiled wryly in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He pretended to be curious and asked, "Who is it?"

Lin Nanyue couldn't see what Qiao Xingnian was thinking at all, so he looked away in despair and said, "No one."

Seeing this, Qiao Xingnian felt a twinge in his heart, and suddenly realized that he had crossed the line just now. If he can't accept it, then don't let him have hope, after all, ambiguity hurts people the most.

Qiao Xingnian sighed, and said, "Captain Lin, I'm sorry, but I've already guessed who you like."

Lin Nanyue's heart rose instantly, and he murmured, "You guessed it..."

Qiao Xingnian nodded and said, "Actually, I noticed something was wrong when I was in Licheng, and I have been hesitating how to tell you. I crossed the line just now. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that..."

Lin Nanyue interrupted Qiao Xingnian and said, "Then who do you think I like?"

Qiao Xingnian looked at Lin Nanyue, he couldn't hide the panic in his eyes, and said, "It's me, right?"

Lin Nanyue's heart shrank suddenly, feeling a little hurt. He saw the answer in Qiao Xingnian's eyes, he forced himself to raise the corners of his mouth, and said, "You...why would you think so? What did I do to make you feel like this? delusions?"

Qiao Xingnian froze for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"It may be that I have been too close to you recently, so you have misunderstood, sorry, I will pay attention to it in the future." Lin Nanyue's heart hurts badly, and he got up and said: "It's too late today, I will go back first , you also get off work early, don't be too late."

Qiao Xingnian looked at the pain in Lin Nanyue's eyes that couldn't be concealed, and his heart ached. However, short-term pain is worse than long-term pain. Some things should be made clear earlier.

"Team Lin, there is something I want to tell you."

Lin Nanyue had already guessed what Qiao Xingnian was going to say, but he didn't want to hear it, and said, "Annan community has another murder case today. I've been busy all day, and I'm really tired. If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Another homicide in the Annan community?" Qiao Xingnian frowned slightly, and his attention was diverted.

"Well, he is also a man who lives alone. His death is exactly the same as Gao Yang's. The only difference is that today's victim had his tongue pulled out."

"The death patterns of the two men are exactly the same, so the possibility of love killing can be ruled out. If the murderer is the same person, the range of suspects will be much narrower, and it is very likely that the two victims have violated the person."

Having said that, Qiao Xingnian fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Lin Nanyue breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The case is very difficult. Two people have been killed, and they were all tortured. I'm worried that there will be a third person, so we must find out the connection between the two victims as soon as possible."

"When did the deceased in Annan Community die?"

"The time of death is almost the same as Gao Yang's, but the autopsy report has not yet been released, so the exact time of death is still unclear."

"It's almost the same?" Qiao Xing said to himself in a young voice, "Then he won't have time to commit the crime..."

Lin Nanyue didn't hear what Qiao Xingnian said, and asked, "What did you say?"

Qiao Xingnian looked up at Lin Nanyue, hesitation flashed in his eyes, Si Cen thought for a while, and said, "Captain Lin, sit down, I have something to tell you."

Lin Nanyue thought he wanted to continue the topic just now, and said, "Sorry, it's too late today, let's talk tomorrow if we have something to say."

Qiao Xingnian felt a little distressed when he heard the words, and said, "Team Lin, running away will never solve the problem. You are so smart, don't you understand such a simple truth?"

Lin Nanyue looked at Qiao Xingnian and said with a wry smile: "Since you know that I don't want to face it for the time being, why do you still force me and give me some time, can't you?"

"Team Lin..."

"I understand what you mean." Lin Nanyue interrupted Qiao Xingnian, took a deep breath, looked into Qiao Xingnian's eyes, and said, "Don't worry, I will adjust my mentality and won't cause you trouble ,I do not want to lose you as afriend."

Seeing him say that, Qiao Xingnian felt uncomfortable, and said, "Captain Lin, I want to talk about Wu Hai, can you sit down and listen carefully?"

Lin Nanyue was startled, and after a short silence, he sat down again and said, "Let's talk."

Qiao Xingnian poured him a cup of tea again, and said, "I promised Wu Hai that I would not tell anyone what he said, but today he also told the police about it, and telling you now is not a violation." promise."

Qiao Xingnian told Lin Nanyue verbatim about Wu Hai's past.Lin Nanyue's expression was complicated after hearing this, he never thought that Wu Hai had such a painful past.

"His tragedy started with his stepfather, and the pain that continues to the present is caused by those who bullied him in high school. I have an indescribable feeling. I think the two recent murders should be It's related to Wu Hai."

"But when the crime happened, Wu Hai was being raped by Han Chong, and he didn't have time to commit the crime at all."

"I know." Qiao Xingnian pondered for a while, and said, "First investigate whether these two victims have anything to do with Wu Hai, and whether they are Wu Hai's high school classmates, and then investigate further."

Lin Nanyue nodded and said, "I understand. If you suspect that he is related to these two murders, then Han Chong violated him..."

"I understand what you mean. The police station has passed a drug test. There is indeed chlorine/form in Wu Hai's body." Seeing that Lin Nanyue wanted to refute, Qiao Xingnian continued: "Wait until you find out the two victims." It’s easy to explain whether the author has anything to do with him.”

"Okay, I'll check this out myself tomorrow."

"Well, it's late, Team Lin should go back and rest early."

Lin Nanyue, who obviously wanted to escape just now, felt sore when he heard Qiao Xingnian say that, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go first."

Qiao Xingnian didn't speak any more, and took a sip from his teacup in a disguised manner.

Seeing this, Lin Nanyue took a deep breath, calmed down his turbulent emotions, got up and left the private room.When he came to the door, he couldn't help but glance back, but Qiao Xingnian had no intention of turning back. A wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he opened the door and walked out without hesitation.

After the door was closed, Qiao Xingnian turned around and raised his hand to cover his chest. His heart was not calm, and the pain in his heart was so obvious.

"Could it be that I've really been tricked? But he's a man, not to mention my side, or his side, and he's going to have to make trouble."

With the power of the Lin family, it was easy to deal with him, the owner of this small tea house. Although Qiao Xingnian was not afraid, the troubles caused by this matter were not limited to these.Qiao Xingnian would never have accepted Lin Nanyue easily if he hadn't been convinced that it was him.

Qiao Xingnian rubbed her hair irritably, and said to herself, "Emotions are really troublesome!"

Two days later, Wu Hai was discharged from the hospital. Qiao Xingnian came forward to help him find a house, and he lived in Heping Community, the same community as Qiao Xingnian.

Lin Nanyue didn't come back these two days, the two just kept in touch with vx. After Lin Nanyue's investigation, it was found that Gao Yang and Liang Chao were both Wu Hai's high school classmates.

Liang Chao is also Liang Hui, Liang Hui is his pseudonym, a name specially used for online dating, and Hu Haili is just one of his many online girlfriends.

Liang Chao is a native of Hucheng. His family is not rich, but he does not have to worry about food and clothing.After he graduated from college, his parents gave him money to open a mobile phone supply store in the Lake City Department Store.But after two years of operation, the store has been in a state of loss. Liang Chao can only rely on his handsome face to cheat girls out of money online. With those girls' money, he can live like a fish in water.

Like Gao Yang, Liang Chao is both male and female, and he is a frequent visitor to bars and nightclubs, bringing different men and women home every now and then.It's just that there is something wrong with Liang Chao, it's unbelievably fast, and I wish I had just reacted here, and vented before I had time to go in.

Therefore, Liang Chao would take medicine every time he brought someone home, and the amount of medicine he took was twice that of ordinary people, and the forensic examination of the drug ingredients in his body also confirmed this.

On the night Liang Chao and Gao Yang were murdered, all the surveillance videos of the community were out of order, leaving no images. This situation is definitely not a coincidence, but the murderer destroyed the surveillance system of the community in advance.

After confirming that Liang Chao and Gao Yang were Wu Hai's high school classmates, Qiao Xingnian suggested that Lin Nanyue further confirm that they had sexually assaulted Wu Hai. At the same time, a new autopsy was carried out to determine the time of death of the deceased again.

Today is Wednesday, and Lin Nanyue's mother's birthday party is tonight. Before Qiao Xingnian went to the tea house, he specially brought a formal attire. This was his only formal attire, just not wanting to look out of place at the party.

The banquet officially started at seven o'clock. The venue was in the Lin family's villa. It would take at least four or ten minutes by taxi from the teahouse to the villa. If there was no traffic jam, Qiao Xingnian went upstairs to change at five o'clock.

When he walked down the stairs, everyone was stunned. Putting on him in a straight suit, his demeanor immediately changed, and he became like a domineering president in a novel in minutes.

"Boss, once you appear on the stage like this, you still have to stun a lot of young ladies." Liu Man couldn't help admiring.

"Yeah, yeah, I've already fascinated a lot of people." Liu Meng smiled and looked at the tea customers in the individual customer area.

Qiao Xingnian smiled helplessly, and said, "If it wasn't for the occasion where it is not easy to wear casual clothes, I wouldn't wear them like this. There is always a sense of restraint."

"I wish the boss all the best tonight."

"Maybe after tonight, our tea will be sold out."

"The bonus must be quite a lot, boss, come on!"

Just as Qiao Xingnian was about to book a car, Lin Nanyue, who had disappeared for three days, suddenly walked in. When he saw Qiao Xingnian.

His expression was startled, his eyes flashed with amazement, but he quickly came back to his senses and said, "Today I asked for a short leave of absence, and I'm here to pick you up."

"Then trouble Team Lin."

Qiao Xingnian followed Lin Nanyue out of the store, and said, "Will Team Lin change clothes?"

"It's the same as changing it when you get home."

The two came to the car and got into the car one after another. Although they were not far away, they felt a little strange and awkward. For a while, only the sound of the engine was left in the car.

Qiao Xingnian leaned against the car window as usual, but he didn't fall asleep as quickly as before. He could clearly feel Lin Nanyue's gaze cast on him, although it was short, it was extremely hot.

It's just that I haven't seen each other for three days, but Lin Nanyue feels that it has been a long time, and he deeply understands the pain of lovesickness.When he stepped into the tea house and saw Qiao Xingnian, that kind of longing reached its peak, but he still tried to keep calm, which was simply a kind of torture.

"Be friends." He once persuaded himself like this, but the desire for Qiao Xingnian in his heart really made him unable to be friends like before.It's just that Qiao Xingnian's attitude made him hesitate again. He had already tasted enough lovesickness in three days, and he couldn't imagine what would happen to him if he really cut off contact.

For Qiao Xingnian, the short four to 10 minutes was a bit torturous and felt a bit long; but for Lin Nanyue, the time passed too quickly, and he wanted to watch it for a while longer.

The car didn't drive into the villa, but stopped at the door. Lin Nanyue looked at Qiao Xingnian, and didn't call him until someone came over.

"Xingnian, wake up, we are here."

Qiao Xingnian blinked his eyelashes, opened his eyes, looked at Lin Nanyue in a daze, then turned his head to look out the window, and said, "We'll be there soon."

As soon as Qiao Xingnian finished speaking, the car window was knocked. Lin Nanyue lowered the car window, looked at the man outside, and said, "Uncle Zhang."

"Master, why don't you drive in?"

"Go in here."

"Master and Madam are waiting for the young master to come back."

Lin Nanyue responded, restarted the car, and drove slowly into the villa.

After the car was parked, Lin Nanyue loosened his seat belt, turned sideways and took the gift bag on the back seat, handed it to Qiao Xingnian, and said, "This is a gift I prepared, open it and have a look."

Qiao Xingnian looked at it, and took out a black velvet gift box. After opening it, there was an emerald green bracelet.He carefully took out the bracelet, looked at it, and said, "Captain Lin, this bracelet is in very good condition, so it shouldn't be cheap."

"Not expensive."

Qiao Xingnian put the jade bracelet back into the box and put it back into the gift bag, and said, "I also brought a gift. Although it's not as expensive as Team Lin's, it's more practical."

Qiao Xingnian took out a box from his pocket, opened it and handed it to Lin Nanyue, saying, "This is a red agate. I spent three days carving the runes on it. It can drive away ghosts and evil spirits."

Lin Nanyue took out the bracelet, looked at it, and said politely, "Thank you, you took the trouble."

Hearing Lin Nanyue talking to him so politely, Qiao Xingnian felt uncomfortable, closed the box, and said, "Let's go, you haven't changed your clothes yet, so don't waste time."

Qiao Xingnian got out of the car with Lin Nanyue, and the man who spoke to him just now was waiting outside.

"Master, is this your friend?"

Lin Nanyue nodded and said, "His name is Qiao Xingnian. He is my friend and invited by my father. Xingnian, he is Uncle Zhang."

Qiao Xingnian said hello, "Hello, Uncle Zhang."

"Hello, the young master rarely brings friends here. You should have a good relationship with him."

Zhang Gang's polite words made the two of them a little embarrassed, and Lin Nanzhou's appearance broke the weird atmosphere.

"Brother, Brother Qiao, you are here."

Qiao Xingnian looked at Lin Nanzhou. Today, he was wearing a white formal suit, and he looked more refined, like a little prince in the royal family who was loved by thousands.

"Nan Zhou is really good-looking, and he is destined to be the focus of tonight."

Lin Nanzhou smiled embarrassedly, and said, "I'm not as handsome as Brother Qiao. If you say that the focus should be Brother Qiao."

"Okay, okay, let's stop flattering each other, go in quickly, your brother hasn't changed his clothes yet."

"Yes, yes, brother is the focus of tonight." Lin Nanzhou blinked at Qiao Xingnian, and whispered, "There are so many beauties tonight, maybe one of them will become my sister-in-law."

Qiao Xingnian's heart twitched at Lin Nanzhou's words, and the smile on the corner of his mouth almost couldn't hold back. He glanced at Lin Nanyue, saw that he was looking at him, and said with a smile: "Let's go in quickly, don't delay the business."

Lin Nanyue lowered his eyes and suppressed the disappointment in his eyes. Even though he already knew the answer, he still couldn't help but look forward to it, telling himself that what if he changed his mind.

Qiao Xingnian forced himself not to look at Lin Nanyue, and walked with Lin Nanzhou, through the bustling crowd, into the hall.

The movement here has attracted the attention of many people, mainly because of the identities of Lin Nanyue and Lin Nanzhou, and secondly because of their three outstanding appearances.

"Look, look, that's Lin Nanyue, the eldest son of the Lin family."

"Which which?"

The celebrities gathered together in twos and threes, and they naturally saw the three people coming in, because Lin Nanyue was almost isolated from the business district.

Therefore, most people have never seen his true face. This appearance naturally attracted the attention of many celebrities. After all, their main purpose of coming to the banquet this time is to become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family.

"The one who didn't wear formal clothes." The girl who knew Lin Nanyue proudly looked in Lin Nanyue's direction.

"The one without a formal suit?" The girl next to him asked strangely, "Have you seen him?"

"Of course I know each other. We are childhood sweethearts who grew up together."

"Sun Yi, you're lying and you don't even write drafts. You and Lin Nanyue are five or six years apart. Who would believe you were childhood sweethearts who grew up together?"

Sun Yi's face froze, she turned her head to look at the girl behind her, and said, "Zhen Caiqing, you are everywhere, even if I am five or six years older than Brother Nanyue, so what, at least I am younger and more beautiful than you, It doesn't look like you are almost 30, and no one wants you to be old."

Zhen Caiqing is the eldest daughter of Zhenxian, 28 years old this year, and Sun Yi is the youngest daughter of Sun Yao, 24 years old this year.

Although the relationship between Zhenxian and Sun Yao is good, the relationship between Zhencaiqing and Sun Yi is like fire and water, not for anything else, just because they both like Lin Nanyue.

"Who are you calling 30? Say one more word, and I'll tear your mouth apart!"

"What about you, what's the matter, it's a fact, don't let people say it."

"you……"

"That's enough. What kind of occasion is this? Isn't it embarrassing to allow you to be so noisy?"

"Sun Qiaoyin, stop putting on airs, your sisters are just ganging up to bully me."

Sun Qiaoyin is Sun Yi's sister, two years older than Sun Yi, 26 years old this year, the same age as Qiao Xingnian.After Sun Yao returned home that day, he gave Qiao Xingnian's contact information to Sun Qiaoyin, and even praised Qiao Xingnian to the sky.

But the more he behaved like this, the more disgusted Sun Qiaoyin became. When he left the room, Sun Qiaoyin directly deleted Qiao Xingnian's contact information.

"Zhen Caiqing, you are really biting Lu Dongbin like a dog - you don't know a good heart. Then make trouble, and see who suffers in the end."

"That's right." Sun Yi replied in harmony.

Sun Qiaoyin glared at Sun Yi, and said, "You still have the nerve to talk about her, see if I don't complain to Dad later."

"Sister, I was wrong. Don't tell Dad, or he will nag me again."

……

The small commotion here did not attract Qiao Xingnian's attention. Lin Nanyue led him upstairs, and Lin Nanzhou naturally followed.

"Hey, who is that boy next to the Lin brothers? He looks so handsome!"

"It's him! It's really him!" A girl in the crowd watched excitedly with her mobile phone.

"Who? Are you so excited?"

"The boy who was following Young Master Lin just now is the owner of Xingnian Tea House."

"Xingnian Tea House? Is that the very popular Xingnian Tea House?"

"Does the person in the video look similar to the boy just now?"

"Wow, it's really similar, but the temperament is completely different."

"Isn't it? The texture of each of his clothes is different. Look at his casual clothes. There are cute, cool and handsome styles, and a handsome and handsome style. Each one is different."

"Really, how did he manage to change clothes like a different person?"

……

Compared to Lin Nanyue, Qiao Xingnian also attracted everyone's attention.

"Isn't he just a small boss of a tea house? The current achievements are mostly due to Lin Shao's relationship." Zhen Caiqing liked Lin Nanyue since she was a child, and couldn't stand others stealing his limelight, so that Qiao Xingnian Without knowing it, he offended a savage young lady.

"If he and Lin Shao didn't come together today, who knows their relationship, how could you say that." Hua Linlin likes Qiao Xingnian very much, and goes to the tea house every weekend, but she is more introverted and never has a relationship with Qiao Xingnian. Years have spoken.Hearing Zhen Caiqing slander Qiao Xingnian so much, the introverted she couldn't help but speak up for Qiao Xingnian.

"There is no help on the surface, not necessarily in the dark, maybe the Xingnian Tea House is invested by the Lin family." Zhen Caiqing has always looked down on Hua Linlin, thinking that she is a member of a big family, but she is timid and afraid of others. She can't get on the stage, so every time she meets her, she will always be sarcastic.

"Even if Lin Shao invested, so what. The business is so good, it's not because of the management of Mr. Qiao. As we all know, Lin Shao has never set foot in the business circle." Although Hua Linlin was timid, but this time for herself For the person she likes, she didn't back down, but fought hard.

"If you talk for him like this, you don't like this tea maker, do you?"

Hua Linlin blushed and said, "I like him. There are millions of people who like him online."

"Yo, he's not just a tea maker, he's also a traitor." Zhen Caiqing had an undisguised disdain on her face.

"Zhen Caiqing, don't go too far! Boss Qiao's success today is all due to his own hard work. It's not like you just go shopping in the mall to find a man. , you are nothing." Hua Linlin was so angry that her face was flushed, and it was the first time in her life that she had an argument with someone who was blushing and had a thick neck.

Zhen Caiqing's face was livid when she was told, and said: "Hua Linlin, you are capable, you dare to talk to me like this."

"She's telling the truth. You've been out of college for so many years, have you ever worked? Every day, besides shopping, you hook up with men. You don't know how many people have slept with you, how dare you miss Nanyue Brother, I really have no self-knowledge."

Seeing Zhen Caiqing being scolded, Sun Yi felt very happy. For the first time, she felt that Hua Linlin was quite pleasing to the eye.

"You wait for me, Brother Nanyue, I am sure to win!" Zhen Caiqing saw that the two were in an alliance, and she couldn't take advantage of it, so she left the hall with cruel words.

……

In Lin Nanyue's room on the second floor, Qiao Xingnian was sitting on the sofa chatting with Lin Nanzhou when Lin Nanyue, who had changed his clothes, opened the door and walked in.

Qiao Xingnian turned his head and glanced, but couldn't take his eyes off anymore. He wore a black tuxedo, a silver silk shirt inside, and a black bow tie at the neckline, which made Lin Nanyue's complexion look even better.The well-fitting trousers perfectly outline the curve of the buttocks, and the long legs are more straight.

"Sure enough, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. This outfit is very suitable for Team Lin."

Lin Nanyue naturally also saw the amazement in Qiao Xingnian's eyes, and his originally depressed mood eased a little.

"Brother, if you go out wearing this dress, you will definitely be fascinated. It's no wonder that Mom and I have been choosing the dress for a long time."

Hearing what Lin Nanzhou said, and thinking about the purpose of this banquet, Qiao Xingnian suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, as if something that originally belonged to him was being peeped by others.

Sensing the change in Qiao Xingnian's mood, Lin Nanyue was a little puzzled, but soon he figured it out, and couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, maybe it's not impossible between them.

Lin Nanyue looked at Lin Nanzhou and asked, "Who are you inviting today?"

Lin Nanzhou said suspiciously: "Didn't I send the banquet list to brother?"

"Two murders happened one after another. I don't have time to watch that. Tell me about it."

"There are the Sun family, the Zhen family, the Hua family, and celebrities from all walks of life in Hucheng. There must be hundreds of people here." Speaking of this, Lin Nanzhou gloated and said: "Brother, Sun Yi and Zhen Caiqing But they are all here, they have been my brother's little fans since they were young, and they are bound to win you, and they will definitely pester you again tonight."

When Lin Nanyue heard their names, he couldn't help frowning, but when he saw Qiao Xingnian, he calmed down and said, "Both of them are young lady tempered, if they marry back home, they must If there is no peace, leave it to others."

"What about Hua Linlin?" Seeing that Lin Nanyue was really thinking about picking a girlfriend, Lin Nanzhou couldn't help being overjoyed, and said, "Although she's a bit introverted, she's cute and pretty, and I think she's not bad."

Lin Nanyue thought for a while and said, "Hua Linlin is indeed a better candidate, but we need to get along with each other and see."

Seeing what Lin Nanyue said, Qiao Xingnian frowned subconsciously, and a sour feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

"Nanzhou, there are many female guests among the guests. Let me introduce you later. I also want to find a girlfriend."

"Okay." Lin Nanzhou readily agreed, and said, "But with Brother Qiao's current reputation, I don't need to introduce him. Someone will take the initiative to strike up a conversation with Brother Qiao later."

Lin Nanyue looked at Qiao Xingnian and then at Lin Nanzhou, and his jealousy was overturned in his heart.

"Dong dong dong", there was a knock on the door, Lin Nanzhou hurried to open the door, and when he saw the person at the door, he said, "Mom, why are you here?"

Hu Minhua said with a smile: "This is my home, I can't go anywhere."

Qiao Xingnian stood up quickly and said hello, "Hello, Auntie."

Hu Minhua looked Qiao Xingnian up and down, and said: "You are Xingnian, we met once, but I almost didn't recognize him because of the change of clothes."

"Auntie has a good memory, she still remembers me."

"You are the star of our family. Everyone, old and young, is full of praise. If I'm not too busy, I also want to go to the teahouse to have a cup of tea and enjoy my leisure."

"I'm here, I'll make whatever tea my aunt wants to drink."

"That's a good relationship. But today you are a guest, so we can talk about drinking tea another day."

"Auntie is a birthday star today, so I should make you a pot of tea." Qiao Xingnian took out a gift box from his pocket and said with a smile, "But before that, I have to give you a birthday present."

Hu Minhua took the gift box, opened it and fell in love with it, and said: "This bracelet is really unique."

"I carved the pattern on it myself. It is a part of the Buddhist scriptures. It is said that it can keep you safe. I can't give you anything good. This is my wish. Auntie, don't dislike it."

"Why would you dislike it? This agate is transparent in color and looks good at first glance. Besides, you carved it yourself. This kind of heart alone is much better than those expensive gifts." Hu Minhua said, and took out the bracelet worn on the wrist.

"Auntie likes it."

"This pattern is so beautiful! Brother Qiao, you can make one for me some other day."

"Okay, but you have to provide the materials. I don't have any good materials here."

"no problem."

Listening to the two talking, he knew that their relationship was very good, and Hu Minhua liked Qiao Xingnian even more in his heart.She turned to look at Lin Nanyue and said, "You are a busy person, you finally have time to go home."

Lin Nanyue picked up the gift box and handed it over, saying, "Mom, this is my birthday present for you."

"Sure, I actually know how to prepare a gift." Although Hu Minhua complained, he was still happy to see Lin Nanyue, and took the gift box with his hand.

Opened it and looked at it, it was a diamond brooch in the shape of a plum blossom, and the expensive pink diamond was embedded on it.

"Wow, so beautiful!" Lin Nanzhou reached for the brooch and said, "Mom, I'll put it on for you."

Lin Nanzhou pinned the brooch on Hu Minhua's dress, looked it up and down, and said, "Brother has such a good eye, this brooch matches Mom's temperament very well."

"The vision is good, but it's a bit high, but sometimes you have to lower your requirements a little bit, after all, nothing is perfect." Hu Minhua's words are meaningful.

All the people present were smart people, how could they not understand the meaning of Hu Minhua's words, Lin Nanyue subconsciously looked at Qiao Xingnian, just happened to meet Qiao Xingnian's gaze, the two turned their heads in embarrassment, the atmosphere became a little weird .

Seeing that Lin Nanyue didn't say a word, Hu Minhua sighed helplessly, and said, "Don't play dumb with me, you are already 29 this year, and the friends who grew up with you already have children, but you don't even have a girlfriend None, today my birthday party is just for you, this year you have to bring me a girlfriend home no matter what."

"Mom..." Lin Nanyue's retort came to his lips, but he swallowed it back when he came into contact with Qiao Xingnian. He changed his voice and said, "Okay, I will pay attention."

Hu Minhua was stunned, but Lin Nanyue did not expect Lin Nanyue to agree so readily, and said, "You said this, but you can't play it lightly. If you don't get it back before the Chinese New Year, I will find it for you personally. Then you can directly get the marriage certificate." .”

Lin Nanyue nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Seeing that he agreed readily, Hu Minhua felt that something was wrong. He was about to speak when he heard a knock on the door. Everyone turned their heads and saw Lin Zhaoming pushing the door and walking in.

"You are all here." Lin Zhaoming looked at Qiao Xingnian and said with a smile, "Xingnian is here too."

Qiao Xingnian greeted with a smile, "Uncle Lin looks really good today."

Lin Zhaoming looked at Qiao Xingnian, his eyes were full of admiration, and said, "Today, I'm well dressed, and I have completely grasped my temperament. It has the demeanor I used to have."

When Hu Minhua heard it, he was amused and said, "Are you boasting, or are you boasting?"

"Thank you, Uncle Lin, for your compliment. Maybe in a few years, I will be able to monopolize the tea market in Lake City."

"Haha, you have ambition! If we want to drink tea in the future, don't we have to buy it from you."

"Look at what you said, you drink tea now, don't you buy it from me, you are my big customer, no one can do without you." Qiao Xingnian smiled obsequiously, but completely let him People can't hate it.

"Hahaha, yes, I'm still relying on this." Lin Zhaoming paused, and then said: "The tea I bought from you last time tastes really good, I showed it off for a while, and then someone took it away Two catties, I am reluctant to drink it now. If there is such a good tea in the future, just call me directly, and you can’t make it cheaper for others.”

"I'm planning to go to Anxi in two days and come back to buy some good tea. I must prepare it for Uncle Lin first."

The smile in Lin Zhaoming's eyes deepened, he patted Qiao Xingnian on the shoulder, and said, "If my two sons are half as sensible as you, I will be satisfied."

Qiao Xingnian smiled and said, "Uncle Lin, you don't know that in my mother's eyes, I'm also a careless master. I was chased all over the house by my mother with a broom since I was a child."

"Really? You are so sensible, your mother still beats you?" Lin Zhaoming obviously didn't believe it.

"How can I lie to you? This child, it is a last resort to be well-behaved and sensible in front of outsiders. Only in front of his parents can he reveal his true temperament. That is to say, he has rarely seen you. If he is really familiar with you, you can't tell It's time to bother me."

Lin Zhaoming and Hu Minhua were amused by Qiao Xingnian, and they liked him more and more.

"Let's talk later, the banquet is about to start, and it's time for us to show up. Xingnian, come with us."

"it is good."

Hu Minhua and Lin Zhaoming walked in front, Lin Nanzhou and Lin Nanyue followed closely behind, and Qiao Xingnian walked in the rear.

Lin Nanyue deliberately slowed down and walked side by side with Qiao Xingnian.

Qiao Xingnian looked at Lin Nanyue, but he was thinking about the conversation he had with Hu Minhua before. Could it be that because of his refusal, he planned to give up on himself and find a random woman to marry?

Lin Nanyue also looked at Qiao Xingnian inadvertently, thinking that he deliberately provoked Qiao Xingnian just now, and he didn't know if it worked.

A group of five people came to the hall, and the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent.

Uncle Zhang handed the microphone to Lin Zhaoming, who took it over and said with a smile, "Thanks to everyone for coming to Man Wah's birthday party. We are all friends here today. You don't have to be polite, just have fun."

"Thank you, President Lin, for your hospitality."

Hu Minhua picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "I will bring the first glass of wine today. Thank you for coming to my birthday party. I wish you all the best in the future. Cheers."

Everyone raised their wine glasses one after another and said in unison: "Cheers."

Everyone drank a glass of wine with Hu Minhua.

Lin Zhaoming also took a glass of wine and said, "I will take the second glass of wine to help today's birthday star live a long life."

Everyone said in unison: "I wish Mrs. Lin a long life!"

Seeing Lin Zhaoming looking at him, Lin Nanyue took another glass of wine and said, "Mom, I wish you a happy birthday."

Hu Minhua understood Lin Nanyue's temperament, he didn't like this kind of occasion, but he didn't make things difficult for him, and said, "Be good."

Lin Nanzhou also joined in the fun and said, "There's me, and me, Mom, I wish you a happy birthday!"

Hu Minhua smiled dotingly and said, "Good boy."

Lin Zhaoming said with a smile: "Everyone don't need to be restrained, just have fun by yourself."

Everyone stepped forward to wish Hu Minhua a happy birthday.

Seeing this, Qiao Xingnian took the wine glass and walked towards the long table for eating. Chicken, duck, fish, seafood, desserts, fruits, etc., all kinds of delicacies are available.

Qiao Xingnian put down his wine glass, took a saucer, and went straight to the lobster. The lobster was the biggest he had ever seen so far. The pincers alone were bigger than his palm.

Qiao Xingnian was thinking about where to start, when suddenly there was another person beside him, he turned his head and looked over, it was a beautiful woman, wearing a smart suit, with the sleeves rolled up, holding a plate in her hand.She saw Qiao Xing
