Dressed as a Stepson of a Wealthy Cannon Fodder[Transmigration Book]
Chapter 4 The Banquet
Xia Man: "..." The mouth is really poisonous.
He immediately raised his head, blinking his big eyes innocently, the mist in his eyes hadn't dissipated, like a bullied little rabbit.
Ling Zizhe lost his temper inexplicably, felt agitated for a while, and left without looking back.
Xia Man was left with question marks all over his head.
Brother, you are so nonsensical!
No matter how indignant Xia Man is, there is nothing he can do about Su Chunyi for the time being.
He is already 19, as long as he finds a way to gain a foothold, he should quickly stay away from the place of right and wrong.
It was Ling Zhenhua's welcome banquet in the morning, and he also wanted to introduce Su Chunyi and Xia Man.
After all, you have decided to get married, so there is no need to hide it all the time.
When Xia Man woke up, Ling Zhenhua, Su Chunyi, and Ling Zizhe had already left. If Ling Zhenhua hadn't allowed him to sleep more, Su Chunyi could have woken people up at six in the morning.
Putting on a custom-made suit, the light gray tuxedo suit is very decent, and the waist design outlines his slender waist, adding to his beauty.
If he didn't know what the content of the banquet was, Xia Man would have thought it was a beauty contest.
Along the way, he was a little drowsy, and he had great resentment towards his new WeChat friend Liu Lesheng.
When is not a good time to find him, it has to be late at night, and there are a lot of questions if you ask him!
But I'm on the Internet...... I'm a relaxed person, chatting endlessly, I don't go to bed until almost three o'clock!
It was only at this time that I deeply felt that my body, which had not been baptized with spiritual power, was really a bit spicy.
"Ding." The phone vibrated suddenly.
Xia Man glanced sleepily, and the drowsiness disappeared immediately.
It was a message from Liu Lesheng——
[Little brother, the investigation of yesterday's case is clear, because you handled it, I think you also have a certain right to know.The murderer was a casual cultivator who had learned a little bit, and then was humiliated by a disciple of a certain sect. He felt resentful, and happened to meet someone who gave him such a vicious method. ]
Although some things can be told to Xia Man, the key information has also been hidden.
Xia Man immediately replied——
[Who is that person?Have you checked it out?Or clues or something. ]
Sacrificing a hundred boys and girls, plus the lives of legal persons, this kind of vicious mysterious art has long been listed as a forbidden art.
When the master passed away, he left many things for Xia Man, otherwise Xia Man would not be able to see the function of the rune.
A kind of forbidden technique was given away casually, which shows that the person behind it may not be simple.
Unfortunately, neither Liu Lesheng nor the police had the slightest clue.
It was only when he arrived at the banquet venue, a high-end hotel in the Ling family, that Xia Man came back to his senses.
The banquet started at four o'clock in the afternoon, and people have already arrived one after another.
And the protagonists are also busy with their own work, but Xia Man is free.
Suddenly, Su Chunyi walked over stiffly, smiling very forcedly, and her eyes were full of malice where Ling Zhenhua could not see.
"Xiao Man, your Uncle Ling has already said that the watch was bought for you, so what are you doing with me? Take it and put it on."
Xia Man: "?"
He looked at Su Chunyi suspiciously, wondering if this person was possessed by an evil spirit, why did he change his face after one night.
In fact, Su Chunyi was very angry because Ling Zizhe ran up to Ling Zhenhua and babbled nonsense.
What did you say, "Xiaman thinks the gift is expensive, so I will keep it with Aunt Su."
What else is there, "Since it was given by Dad, it is better for him to wear it".
Where did Ling Zizhe, who had always been indifferent and distant to their mother and son, go?How could he speak for Xia Man?
No, this Ling Zizhe is probably playing some crooked idea, trying to drive a wedge between their mother and son!
Countless thoughts flashed through Su Chunyi's mind, and when she looked at Xia Man, her gaze was no longer piercing, "Xiao Man, you should know that in this family, only you and I are the closest, who treats you well and who treats you badly There are numbers."
Xia Man: "???"
Xia Man scoffed at Su Chunyi's words. In the whole world, Su Chunyi, the real mother, is the one who treats the original body the worst.
Where did she have the face to say such righteous words?
Goose bumps all over his body, he found a remote corner to stay quietly.
There must have been a lot of people at the banquet, it was Xia Man's life.
It's just that he wants to be quiet, and others don't want him to be quiet.
In the afternoon, a group of young men and women came, all well-dressed and extravagant.
When the group of people found Xia Man, they gathered around talking and laughing as if they saw something funny, and glanced at Xia Man from time to time.
They thought they were careful, but they didn't expect Xia Man to be very sensitive to the outside world, and they were very helpless in their hearts.
Why, can't you let me quietly be a handsome man?
Not only did they not let him live in peace, they even formed a group to come over to say hello.
A tall and slender young man looked at Xia Man with disdain, "Are you the young master who fell in love with the Ling family?"
Before Xia Man could speak, another soft-looking man pinched his throat and said disdainfully: "What are you talking about, young master? There is only one young master in the Ling family. Anyone can really think of themselves as someone else?"
"That's right. After all, you can't get into the upper circles just by wanting to." A woman in a gorgeous dress showed off her freshly made manicure and didn't give Xia Man a single look, but she couldn't do without him. , "I heard that Su Chun... Ms. Su has a troublesome son. I don't know... I stay at Ling's house every day, and I'm finally going to become a regular."
Xia Man felt irritated for a while.
Although he is socially fearful, it doesn't mean that he can do nothing in the face of malice. He glanced coldly at the people around him, "Are you all here for the banquet? Dressing up so brightly, really makes the family look good."
"You!" The woman who made fun of Xia Man suddenly changed her face and glared at him fiercely.
After all, this group of people has a family background, and Xia Man taunted them, but they couldn't scold them out of face, it was really aggrieved.
But before they could continue their jokes, Ling Zizhe appeared.
Compared with Xia Man's light gray tuxedo suit, Ling Zizhe's suit was a bit black, luxurious and stylish, making him more capable and sharp.
The group of young masters and ladies were immediately frightened and dispersed one after another.
Although they looked down on Su Chunyi and Xia Man, it didn't mean they dared to make fun of them in front of the Ling family.
Ling Zizhe's facial features are profound, his aura is cold and aggressive, and he can attract everyone's attention wherever he goes.
He walked towards Xia Man with a blunt tone, "You are representing the Ling family now, and you are standing here trying to be seen as a monkey? Didn't you see the rest room?"
Xia Man: "..." I really didn't see it.
Seeing Ling Zizhe leave, leaving behind an extremely indifferent back, Xia Man realized later: Is he caring about me?Can you see I'm not used to it?
After all, Xia Man's expression just now, could be as helpless as it is, even, life has nothing to love.
The lounge was indeed very quiet, and it was specially provided for the members of the Ling family. Originally, Xia Man was worried about meeting Ling Zhenhua, Su Chunyi, or Ling Zizhe, but none of the three came to rest.
He is the most idle.
After spending some time with no psychological burden, the banquet finally started.
Xia Manwo stayed in the lounge and didn't want to go out. She could hide as much as possible, but she waited until the housekeeper urged her again and again before going out.
Then...he was brought onto the stage, shoulder to shoulder with Ling Zizhe.
Xia Man: Thank you for the invitation, I don't want to go to heaven.
The dense crowd below, cast their gazes, almost made him unable to walk.
There is not a muscle in the whole body that is not tense, and the heart beats faster, and you can feel the rapid flow of blood.
His mind went blank, he couldn't hear what Ling Zhenhua said, and he didn't hear what Su Chunyi said, he just remembered Ling Zizhe whispering in his ear, "What are you doing in a daze, you can go down."
The tense strings were not broken, and he got off the stage in a daze, and quickly slipped away when everyone didn't notice him.
Stay any longer and he'll suffocate!
Behind him, Ling Zizhe stopped the servant who wanted to go forward, and looked at the direction Xia Man was leaving with deep eyes.
Xia Man unknowingly walked to the arched balcony, which was far away from the main venue and there were no people there.
Taking a few deep breaths of fresh air, he finally felt alive again.
Plan to stay here until the party is over.
Before he could take out his mobile phone to kill time, a gust of cold wind blew, and a chilly feeling emerged spontaneously.
Xia Man put away his phone, looked around, and quickly locked in one direction.
"Did you come out by yourself, or did I pick you out?"
A dark shadow gradually appeared, hiding in a place where the sun could not shine.
The black shadow could only roughly see a human figure, and it didn't even dare to touch the sunlight directly, so it seemed to be very weak.
Xia Man asked suspiciously, "Are you looking for me? Do you have a need? Tell me."
Facing ghosts is much easier than facing living people, and they can speak very neatly.
It's just that the black shadow stood there, fiddling with his hands, very eagerly.
It turned out to be a dumb ghost.
Xia Man touched the bridge of his nose embarrassingly, "Don't sign, I don't know sign language." He made a talisman out of thin air and hit Hei Ying.
Immediately, the black shadow finally heard a voice, hoarse and stuttering, like a crow whose neck had been choked, scratching people's ears sorely.
"Save... save me... I want... protect... him."
Xiaman:......
Barely understood.
However, this ghost is not far away from dissipating. He can purify hostility and resentment, subdue ghosts, but he can't strengthen ghosts!
Moreover, it is not so easy for a ghost of unknown origin to suddenly ask him for help.
"Who are you? What grievances? Or do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"
Although this soul is full of ghostly aura, it has no hostility and resentment, and there is no sin on its body.
Since no one has been harmed, it is easy to say.
Heiying paused, covered his head suddenly, and squatted down in pain.
The words were already ugly, but the screams became even harsher, almost causing Xia Man to die on the spot.
In desperation, Xia Man had no choice but to shield his hearing for the time being, and then released it after the shadow stabilized.
However, when Hei Ying opened his mouth, Xia Man was stunned.
"Ling...... Ling...... Zizhe......"
"?" What the hell?Ling Zizhe? !
He immediately raised his head, blinking his big eyes innocently, the mist in his eyes hadn't dissipated, like a bullied little rabbit.
Ling Zizhe lost his temper inexplicably, felt agitated for a while, and left without looking back.
Xia Man was left with question marks all over his head.
