A loud rumble exploded in the ears, but it was not the door that opened where Amelia Bright was.
Her face pale, forehead seeped a layer of cold sweat, clearly heard just a wall next door, came a sharp woman’s voice, “You let go of me!”
“I knew it was you, why are you here? What are you doing pretending to be a ghost?”
The man’s harsh insults were incessant, and through the doorway, Amelia Bright clearly saw him grab the woman by the hair and slam her down on the floor.
“I’m not pretending to be a god, I’ve been inside for a long time, you … two people dare to do such a thing at the party, Dru Qiu, you … you want some more face?”
“Is this something you should be in charge of? Do what you should do is enough.”
“The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of these people, and you will be able to get a lot more than just a few of these people. I’ve never turned a blind eye, did I say anything?”
“Shut up!”
The man chided coldly, “What are you yelling about? Do you want everyone to hear you?”
“…”
Even if the woman was not willing to do so, she could only choose to hold her tongue in such a situation.
Amelia Bright waited for a long time after the three people left before she came out and took a long breath in the mirror, her mind reverberating with the conversation they had just had.
Adjutant Xun was looking around the ballroom because Amelia Bright had been gone too long, and was relieved to see her return.
“Where has madam gone? What took you so long?”
“I was delayed by something.”
It’s hard to say when you think of the embarrassing scene in the bathroom.
In the distance came the sound of talking, she sounded familiar, looked up towards the distance, the first to see the ‘Admiral Liu’ with whom she had a grudge, surrounded by several men and women, the voice of the man who was talking made Amelia Bright’s body shake slightly.
“Adjutant Xun, who’s that?”
Following Amelia Bright’s gaze, Adjutant Xun glanced over and whispered.
“That’s Admiral Liu’s brother-in-law, Mrs. Liu’s own brother Dru Qiu, a diplomatic interpreter for the Foreign Ministry to the Czech Republic, and those two people beside him, one is his wife and the other is his assistant.”
“Madam, why are you asking about him all of a sudden?”
“I’m just asking, how is his relationship with his sister?”
“I’m not sure about this, it should be quite good, Dru Qiu, this person has been in the Foreign Ministry for so many years, but still an ordinary translator, I heard that there were several diplomatic translation accidents, if not for the good relationship between siblings, in a place like that, he would have been eliminated long ago.”
Amelia Bright nodded thoughtfully.
Dru Qiu’s sister, Caden Qiu, was a woman with a very strong personality, and she had thought through all the possibilities when she first got out of jail with the intention of getting to the bottom of what happened back then.
The person who killed Barbi Paisley, if it was a deliberate murder, was bound to have a grudge against her, and the person who had the greatest vested interest in killing her would have the greatest motive for the crime, and the first person she considered at first was Caden Qiu, the original wife of Admiral Liu.
But the information she found, even if her own son has been the Liu family approved to live in the Liu family, Admiral Liu also let Barbi Paisley to live in the family, she did not agree, but to keep to the original never set foot in the Liu family step, and even to reduce the trouble, live in Yunnan all year round, even the son are not seen, left to Caden Qiu raised him.
A few years of information, these two women are not even half crossed.
So Amelia Bright ruled out the possibility that the incident had anything to do with Caden Qiu.
After being seated at the banquet, the waiters came in order to serve the food.
The dishes were beautifully presented and plentiful, and when all the dishes were finished, the party was over.
After getting into the car, Amelia Bright leaned back in her seat and sighed.
“I’m not even full, so cheap, just a small bite of something inside each plate.”
Farren Austin gave her a teasing look.
“It’s not a bad portion, you’re not full because you slept all day and didn’t eat anything.
“I slept all day because of who?”
Amelia Bright swallowed the second half of her sentence when she saw the back of the driver’s head in front of her, and glared at Farren Austin in annoyance.
“I don’t care, I want to eat mutton noodles, Uncle Wang, go to Zhao family mutton noodle house.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to go home and change your clothes first?”
Farren Austin reminded, a slight glow in his cool eyes, his voice calm and strong.
“No,” Amelia Bright glanced at herself, then at Farren Austin.
“You should change instead, just take off your jacket, don’t go and scare people’s bosses then.”
“Do not be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, if he operates regularly and legally, what is there to be afraid of?”
“The roadside stall, Mr. Chief,” Amelia Bright said helplessly, winking, “is certainly not formal, and why are you comparing yourself to a ghost.”
Farren Austin looked puzzled.
“Just take off the jacket,” Amelia Bright does not talk nonsense with him, there is a button seems to be stuck, how can not be unlocked, unlocked half a day, she came over to study.
“What’s going on?”
The hair smells like jasmine shampoo, passing through the tip of Farren Austin’s nose, he looks down at the woman close at hand, the original cold eyes gradually tinged with a little warmth.
“What are you doing?” Amelia Bright’s forehead came a warm kiss, she let out a low cry, a face of caution, covered his forehead and sat up straight, discontent glared at Farren Austin.
There are still two people in front of them, how to say kiss?
Farren Austin, however, was amused by her wary look and laughed lightly as he ordered.
“Go to the Zhao family mutton noodle house.”
The owner had a fluorescent board on his stall, with the words ‘Zhao Family Mutton Noodle House’ written on it, and would only come out at night to set up his stall.
This place is particularly famous in the neighborhood of the original Chambers family.
The owner, who looked like he had seen the world before, was very calm when he saw Farren Austin in his wheelchair, and asked in a loud voice.
“What are you two having?”
Amelia Bright happily took a small bench and sat down.
“One bowl of lamb noodles with spicy sauce and one bowl of fresh meat wontons, no spicy sauce.”
“Okay.”
She knew Farren Austin couldn’t eat anything too spicy, let alone smell the stink of lamb.
Just as she was seated, a startled voice came from the next table, “Amelia, why are you here?”
Amelia Bright turned around and saw Emily Guan in a casual outfit with her sunglasses on the bridge of her nose under her duck-tongue hat, pulling them down to reveal her big eyes, looking at her with a twinkle.
“What a coincidence.”
This place was where Lucy Chambers and Emily GuanBohdi Olson used to have their late night snacks, but it was a coincidence to meet them both.
Amelia Bright froze for a moment, Emily Guan already sat directly over, “Share a table.”
Bohdi Olson frowned, heart Chambers concern glanced at Farren Austin, if thoughtful, but a few seconds later also followed and sat over.
