Xiao Tong returned to the Si residence. The old man and the old lady were taking a nap, while Si Han went to work, and Gluttony was still in kindergarten. The house was quiet, and Xiao Tong unconsciously lowered her footsteps.
He quietly entered the hall and was about to go upstairs, but when he arrived at the study, he suddenly saw a shadow appear at the corner of the staircase — —
It was Xia Qiu Ling!
As always, she was adorned with exquisite makeup and wore a dignified dress. Her hair was neatly combed, giving her the appearance of a rich and noble lady. Despite her age, she was still very charming.
Xiao Tong was startled by her sudden appearance. Although she didn't show it on her face, she couldn't help but be shocked. Why did Xia Qiu Ling suddenly appear? He usually didn't see her at the old house, but he felt it was strange recently. He would always appear in front of Xiao Tong from time to time, but he didn't know if it was just his imagination.
"Little Tong, you're back!" It just so happens that I went shopping today and wanted to discuss some things with you guys that I need for the wedding. I'll go upstairs to take them off now, wait for me in the living room! " Xia Qiu Ling's face was full of smiles. After saying that, she turned around and went to her room to get something.
Xiao Tong had no choice but to stop and stay where she was. When she looked at Xia Qiu Ling's smile, she couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. Especially when she thought about the fact that Lin Hua's death was related to her, Xiao Tong was almost unable to face that terrifying woman peacefully.
Thinking about Lin Hua, Xiao Tong's heart was filled with the information left in the mailbox. What was it? Xiao Tong just wanted to quickly go to the study room to open her computer mailbox to check what Lin Hua had left behind, but Xia Qiu Ling had kept it for her. She had no idea what she wanted to do with it …
Sitting quietly on the sofa, Xiao Tong was extremely anxious. Not long later, Xia Qiuling came down, holding a bunch of things in her arms. Unlike Xiao Tong's indifference, she said in an unusually warm tone, "Little Tong, look, this wedding shop … I think the dresses in this house are pretty good. This time, our Sisi family is having a happy occasion. We must have a good show and not let you down! What do you think of this one? "Ai, this set is pretty good too …
Xiao Tong was a little absent-minded as she continued to flip through the books by herself. She merely nodded her head at the right time to indicate her response. She still didn't understand why Xia Qiu Ling would suddenly leave her here to talk about such insignificant matters … Right now, all she wanted to do was to go to the study room. She didn't know when Xia Qiu Ling would finish speaking …
"Little Tong, this is your wedding. This is the only time in a woman's life, so you should put your heart into it. Don't run around outside anymore. Come with me and see what you want to buy …" But she only mentioned a few sentences before changing to the wedding arrangements, "Oh right, I've also contacted a few wedding companies. Look, I think this one is the best, their wedding arrangements are all quite high-end and look luxurious, it suits the style our Si Family wants … "However, this house is not bad. You can take a look and see which one you like the best …"
Xiao Tong only noticed the first half of Xia Qiu Ling's words and subconsciously frowned. She didn't know what she meant … Had she noticed that she was investigating Lin Hua? Or could it be that Xia Qiuling already knew that Xiao Tong had investigated her?
Xiao Tong's heart couldn't help but feel a bit apprehensive, but she maintained her composure on the surface. She smiled as she replied to Xia Qiu Ling. "Thank you, Aunt. I understand. I will pay more attention in the future …"
"It's good that you know. After all, this is your own wedding. It's not good for an old man like me to get involved too much, so I still have to listen to what you youngsters have to say." Xia Qiu Ling was still flipping through the brochure of the company that planned the wedding, and said casually but sincerely, "But I can understand you. Young people always like to run around outside. However, Little Tong, you must know that you are Si Han's fiancee. Before long, you will marry into our Si family. Of course, I don't mean to denounce you. As someone who has gone through many things, I just wanted to remind you a few words. Alright, let's stop talking so that it won't look like I'm being long-winded. Look, on the day of the wedding, all the flowers are arranged. I plan to order this shop, even though this shop isn't big, but their flower arrangement and bouquet are all very good! "Last time, a celebrity arranged a wedding, and they also ordered a flower from their family. I've seen it before, it's really not bad …"
"Thank you, Auntie. I will definitely keep this in mind." This time, if Xiao Tong didn't hear it, she would really be a fool. No wonder Xia Qiu Ling had called for him to stop all of a sudden. She was purposely warning him not to run around outside and make any moves …
On the surface, Xiao Tong maintained her smile, but in her heart, she couldn't help but sneer. Did she think she could stop herself by saying that? Ah, that was too naive. How could she, Xiao Tong, admit defeat so easily! Xia Qiu Ling had hurt people she cared about time and time again, and she was going to pay them back one by one!
After a while, Xia Qiu Ling finally finished talking. She closed the brochures, handed them over to Xiao Tong, and instructed her, "Look, take them back and look them over. Although I feel that these are pretty good, it's still your wedding. Remember, go out with me one day and see what you need. Well, then, I'll go upstairs and rest. "I've talked for so long and I'm tired …" After saying that, Xia Qiu Ling got up from the sofa and yawned gracefully. She looked like she was really tired, so she went back to her room …
"Yes, thank you, Auntie." After saying that, Xiao Tong stood up and politely bowed to her as he watched Xia Qiuling leave.
It was not the time for them to shed all decorum yet. Wait, wait. Once she completely grasped the evidence of Xia Qiu Ling's crimes, she would personally tear off the mask on Xia Qiu Ling's face! Looking at Xia Qiu Ling's back, Xiao Tong's expression darkened and his eyes became cold.
After Xia Qiu Ling left, Xiao Tong hurriedly packed up the stairs. Hurry up! I can't waste any more time...
When she arrived at Si Han's study, Xiao Tong casually piled up the brochures that Xia Qiu Ling had given to her and sat down at her desk. She opened her computer mailbox and took out the slip of paper that Lin Xia had given to her and entered it according to its contents.
Xiao Tong saw that an unnamed draft with an attachment had been saved in the mailbox. Xiao Tong downloaded the attachment and opened it. After reading it carefully, his heart was filled with shock and disbelief.
