Mysterious creature sightings

The Ling family did arrive early, and together with the dealer, they sat in the corner of the VIP area in silence, with no smiles on their faces, causing everyone else to glance at them indifferently.

In this kind of gathering of business partners, only small company owners who are in urgent need of expansion need to come early to socialize. Arriving late and taking time to show up are the tacit habits of everyone to show their status.

The internal conflicts of the Ling family were not publicized. What everyone saw was that the Jindong Group was growing stronger, Ling Jiangyu was showing his talents, and the successors of the Ling family had good sides. Therefore, according to custom, the Ling family should not be free to work so early. Sitting.

Everyone was talking in low voices, and suddenly saw them looking in the direction of the door. Looking along, they found that it was the daughter of the Ling family who had just found them half a year ago.

She was a girl wrapped in thick clothes, who looked like a creamy ice cream cone. She was pretty, but she felt like she was in the wrong place.

Ling Zhicheng and Zhuang Mei got up and walked to the door. They found that their daughter had not yet changed into her dress. They felt relieved and felt that they had a ready-made topic to talk about.

Zhuang Mei also said to Ling Jiangyu behind him: "Jiang Yue didn't bring a dress, so I asked someone to give her a few to choose from. Some of the jewelry your grandma left behind is still at home, and I asked Uncle Fu to deliver it."

After the arrangements were made, they met face to face next to the indoor fountain. Ling Zhicheng and Zhuang Meiyang laughed and called: "Jiang Yue..."

Ling Jiangyue held Lin Zheng's hand and walked past without looking away, his expression very calm.

Their smiles were frozen on their faces.

Ling Jiangyue seemed not to notice and walked past them to Yu Lin who was entertaining the guests.

Yu Zhang, who was traveling with him, pressed the pause button on his prepared speeches and social expressions. He was confused in his heart, smiled and nodded at Ling Zhicheng and Zhuang Mei, and hurriedly followed her pace.

Ling Jiangyue looked down upon his biological parents, but smiled broadly at the Yu family.

"Uncle Yu, Aunt Zheng."

Yu Lin also noticed the strangeness of the Ling family, but did not show it at all. He treated her solemnly as an important partner, with an attitude of respect for an adult independent individual.

He also said to her: "Do you still like the middle part of the birthday cake? Yu Zhang said that he specially asked someone to add a King Cherry to save it just for you. Remember to stay and eat it."

Whether you like it or not, whether you can eat it or not, these words are quite satisfying.

Ling Jiangyue made a rare wisecrack: "Then I will pass it on to Brother Yu Zhang. He is the birthday boy and should have the most delicious piece of cake."

Yu Lin smiled and touched her head: "I heard you are sick? Then dress like this and don't change into a dress. Is this policeman your boyfriend?"

"Yes." She introduced Lin Zheng to them, and the group of people talked and laughed, as if they were a family.

The Ling family members looked unhappy, and the curious looks from other people in the banquet hall made them feel uncomfortable.

"When did Jiang Yue have such a good relationship with the Yu family?" Ling Zhicheng asked in a deep voice.

Dad didn't even shout twice, but Uncle Yu shouted affectionately. The scene of talking and laughing made his eyes sting.

Ling Jiangyu said later, calmly: "It's always been good. She likes Uncle Yu's family, and she told them in advance when they fell in love."

"What? Did you tell Zheng Qiuyi?" Zhuang Mei was in a daze. The guilt and expectation of forgiveness that had been tormenting her day and night recently were shattered by this fact, and her heart felt sour.

"Shouldn't this kind of thing be told to the nearest family members? I am her mother."

When Jiang Yue was young, she imagined how her daughter would tell her about her adolescent worries, being pursued by boys, body changes, and appreciation of the opposite sex when she grew up...

But she lost this right before she knew it, and her daughter became closer to her unrelated neighbors.

Zhuang Mei knew what the problem was - I don't know if she was shocked by the few shots that day. She had been in a trance recently and thought of some things repeatedly -

The situation when my daughter disappeared; she was very uncomfortable when she returned home and would rather run around than stay with Jiang Nian; she pursed her lips and listened to their sermons indifferently; and she was lying in bed that day so weak that her vitality was drained. .

Looking beyond the identity, she suddenly realized that no one was happy in the past six months, and everything had slipped into the worst state. Maintaining the balance she wanted was simply impossible.

After ten years of searching and expecting, they ended up like this. No wonder she often dreamed of Jiang Yue shouting at her recently, "It would be better to die outside and never come back."

These contents were repeated in Zhuang Mei's mind, making her feel a little dazed again, and she stood still in trance. Ling Zhicheng pushed her, and she came back to her senses. She touched her handbag tiredly and said, "When they finish talking, let's talk to Jiang Yue about going home for dinner. Let's talk at home. You ask Yu Lin Just tell me and we won’t stay too long.”

Ling Zhicheng nodded. When the guests had almost arrived and Yu Lin was free, he went to say hello in advance. When he discussed it with Ling Jiangyue, he was told that she had no time.

Ling Jiangyu, who was silent for half the night, asked in detail: "What are you going to do tonight?"

"Have a meal."

"With whom? Him?" He was referring to Lin Zheng.

"Yes, there are others."

"Who is there?"

"A few other police officers."

She answered all the questions obediently, and smiled naturally when she thought of something happy, like a distant relative with whom she had a good relationship.

"They prepared a copper pot for shabu-shabu...is this it?" She raised her head and asked Lin Zheng with a wink.

Lin Zheng nodded, and she continued to tell Ling Jiangyu: "I heard it's delicious, but it can't be too late, so we'll leave soon."

Zhuang Mei asked: "Can't we change the time? Let's go home and have dinner first. Jiang Yue, our family hasn't sat down to eat together for a long time. We just want to chat..."

"No, I promised them and I can't let them down. If you can't do it well, you can't ask me to do it well either." She said lightly.

Zhuang Mei and Ling Zhicheng were speechless.

After speaking, Ling Jiangyue smiled at them with curved lips and said politely: "Sorry, we're leaving first."

The "experimental data" has been obtained, and there is no reason to leave it behind.

The experimental results of the Ling family and the Zhuang family were very good, but everyone was a little mentally and emotionally unstable.

She was familiar with this level. Giving them space and time to work through it themselves, and creating a special environment similar to "time deprivation" would have better results.

As for Yu Zhang, she thought regretfully, business was important and she had no time to play the emotional petri dish game for the time being.

When they left the hotel, they stood at the door and watched, hesitant to speak. Their complicated emotions were like cobwebs in an abandoned building, getting stuck together as they walked by, which was annoying.

After the car drove far away, she gradually left the range of emotional induction, and all her energy shifted to the next dinner party.

"Do we need to bring a gift to Jiang Yuxing?"

"No, I just approved a bonus for him." Lin Zheng said.

Seeing her smile return to her face after leaving the hotel, she looked very excited and asked again: "Are you looking forward to it?"

"of course."

"Have you never done this kind of activity before?"

"Before—" Ling Jiangyue imagined a group of experimental subjects sitting in a room eating. That scene was really...

She couldn't help it and couldn't stop laughing.

Lin Zheng: "Why are you laughing again?"

"No, how could such an event have happened before? But if everything goes well, there might be one in a month or two. I'm looking for them."

There will be a little warm dinner party tomorrow, and we will get back to the main thread and start wrapping up the whole story.
