C19 Previous weddings
The bustling city seemed to have been wound up, and everyone was in a hurry. It was only around 7 in the morning, but the streets were already packed with people.
Walking through the crowd made me feel out of place and uncomfortable, which was probably an occupational disease.
Without taking a taxi, I walked the entire Tinton Road with my legs swinging behind me. I arrived at the tallest multifunctional theme building in River City's new district — — New Century Garden.
The main building had a 26th floor, while there were also two 13th-floor side buildings beside it. The building's structure formed a "mountain" character that pressed down on River City's dragon heads.
This was the Jiangjin Real Estate's headquarters, and one of the few five-star hotels in River City, as well as the place where the Second Young Master of the Jiang Family, Jiang Chen, and Ye Bing's wedding ceremony was held.
The wedding was set up here and all the rich and influential officials of River City were invited. It looked like a gathering of elite leaders but in reality, it was a ceremony held by the Jiang Family in order to formally introduce Ye Bing into the upper class.
"A wild chicken becomes a phoenix. From now on, our lives should no longer intersect." With a self-deprecating smile, his gaze swept across the rows of luxury cars at the entrance. Lamborghini, Ferrari, and even the five million starting viscount had seen two of them.
"Sir, New Century Garden has been betrothed by Second Young Master today, please show your invitation." In truth, they were very confident. They were not afraid of offending people, because they had Jiangjin Group backing them.
"Take a look." I had nothing to say when I was stopped by the security guards. After all, I was the only one who walked in and out of the luxurious car.
"I'm sorry, customer, please come in."
"Eh? You are. Gao Jian?! " After walking for a long time, he finally arrived at the gate. Before he had even taken two steps, a well-dressed man ran over from the parking lot: "I never thought that you would actually come to attend Jiang Shao's wedding, haha, long time no see."
My expression was cold, but I didn't have much of a reaction. The fella I knew well was my classmate at the police academy, Xu Xiuming. Back at the police academy, he was a person who was good at arguing.
"Hello." Faint was the longest sentence I'd ever said to him.
"Yo, look who's here, isn't this our former brother-in-law, Gao Jian?" The woman's name was Zhang Yuanyuan, and he was also a classmate of mine at the police academy. However, contrary to Xu Xiuming, this woman likes to gossip and is extremely unpleasant to people. I heard that she had just graduated and married a guy from another school, and now he was a mother.
I frowned and quickly left, but I was thinking in my heart: "Zhang Chong Yuan is a shrew and she couldn't be counted as a successful person, moreover she left River City with her husband, why did she come here specifically to attend Ye Bing's wedding? What she was most jealous of was Ye Bing's beauty, blessing things shouldn't have anything to do with people like her. "
"Unless someone specifically invited her and offered a price that would move her heart." With just a slight thought, he could guess that the one who was behind this was the narrow-minded Jiang Chen, the groom: "Looks like today's wedding will be very interesting."
The banquet hall was filled with people. At a glance, he could see several executives from different companies. They were all business elites and had the air of merchants, whether they talked or acted.
A wedding had been turned into a business event, and most of the visitors had come to broaden their connections. How many of them had sincerely wished the newlyweds happiness?
"Gao Jian, over here! Everyone is waiting for you! " Looking for the voice, there were two tables in the corner of the banquet hall specially for me.
Or rather, it was meant to be used to entertain former students of the police academy.
On the big round table, there was an exquisite cold dish. A dozen or so students greeted each other.
"I heard you bought a house again?"
"How old is your son?"
"Ah, that watch of yours must be worth a lot now, right?"
I ignored the conversation, lit a cigarette, and smoked in silence.
I had nothing compared to them, and they were only passersby to me.
It's just that people don't hurt the tiger's will, the tiger is harmful to the human heart, some of the students who muddle along badly, everything is unsatisfactory, gradually brought the topic to me.
To them, I was the most pitiful person they had ever seen.
Was there anything more lovable in this world than an ex-girlfriend marrying a man she could only look up to?
"Gao Jian, I haven't heard from you for the past few years. I wonder how you are doing now?"
"That's right, that's right. After that incident that year, we never contacted each other again."
"Sigh, I wonder if the real culprit has been caught or not?"
The matter they were talking about was the serial murder case that shocked River City that year. Back then, it was because I was involved in this case and got into big trouble, that's why I was expelled from the police academy.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's talk about something happy." Gao Jian was one of the top ranked in terms of overall results in the past, such an outstanding person would definitely do anything that is better than us. "
"No way, how come I heard that he's been buying that kind of stuff and living in a tight corner?"
"Really? No wonder Ye Bing left, even if it was me, I wouldn't live with this kind of man. Look at Jiang Shao, he is handsome and elegant, so much like the male lead in the Korean dramas. "
"That's right. The key is that they still have money. Haven't you heard? A Jiang Family can support half of River City! "
"Ye Bing's life is really good."
A group of people were whispering to each other. Some of them were jealous of Ye Bing, while some were gloating while staring at me.
There's nothing to refute about the fact that I've seen too much dirty stuff.
"It seems that compared to the living, you are better at dealing with the dead." Laughter came from the side, and the tip of my nose floated a unique and wonderful fragrance.
"Tie Ningxiang?" I didn't look back, because I had already memorized this body fragrance in my mind: "Why are you here too? The case of the Anxiang Hotel is over? "
After extinguishing the cigarette, I turned my head to look. Although I had mentally prepared myself, I was still shocked by Tie Ningxiang who was wearing the formal attire. "So beautiful …"
Her fragrant shoulder was like a top-grade congealed jade revealed on the outside. Her long skirt that was like water gently swayed, and her police uniform was taken off. Only then could she truly see how naive she was.
The other men at the table were all stunned, the women also stopped talking and stared at Tie Ningxiang with unfriendly eyes.
"Can you step aside? I have something to say to him. "
"Yes, yes." Xu Xiuming, who was sitting beside me, immediately stood up and pulled out a chair in a very gentlemanly manner.
Tie Ningxiang nodded her head and sat beside me: "You guys chat. We're classmates, so don't ruin your mood."
What kind of joke was this? What else can we talk about when a goddess like you is sitting next to a destitute dog?
Just as they were talking about how right it was for Ye Bing to leave him, a female spirit that was even prettier than Ye Bing to come up to them.
What kind of luck did this brat have?
The older students started to whisper among each other. Tie Ningxiang playfully looked at me: "Sorry, I took up a bit of your time."
I'm bored to death here anyways, but why are you here to attend Ye Bing's wedding?
"My family and Jiang Family are very close. I had no choice but to be forced by that stubborn old man."
Tie Ningxiang looked left and right, then moved the chair to my side. Half of her body pressed down and whispered into my ear, "Anxiang Hotel's landlord's goddaughter, Xiao Feng wants to see you."
"She?" Although I had already guessed that Tie Ningxiang had something to talk to me about, I didn't expect it to be because of Xiao Feng.
"I don't know what happened between the two of you, but she asked to see you, and she said there were some things I could only tell you." Tie Ningxiang squinted his eyes and thought of the fox that had become a spirit. "The two of you can't be that kind of relationship, right?"
Her expression was subtle, and I didn't care, but the other men at the table were very impressed.
It was an expression of jealousy, a look of jealousy. The goddess was obviously dissatisfied with him for attending her predecessor's wedding! Madan, what is so good about this guy that can make a goddess like me so dead set?
"You're thinking too much. Xiao Feng and I only met once, we probably haven't spent as much time together as you have with her."
"No matter what, why don't you come back with me this afternoon and do me a favor?"
I rarely see Tie Ningxiang begging for help, so I joked: "No problem, if I were to commit any crimes in the future and enter it, I would have to rely more on senior."
The two of us spoke in whispers, not because we were close, but because we didn't want anyone else to hear about the murder.
However, this scene was misunderstood by the older classmates and they began their endless guesses.
