Chi Jiao had just thought of Chi Mingwei when Chi Mingwei, who was eating instant noodles at home, suddenly sneezed.
It was the new year, and all the servants at home had gone home early for the holidays. Chi Mingwei was the only one left in the huge villa.
This made Chi Mingwei feel the loneliness of an empty nest in advance.
At the thought that Jiaojiao should be having dinner with Quan Jue, her god grandfather, and god grandmother, Chi Mingwei suddenly felt that the instant noodles tasted even more sour than lemons.
On the other side, Yan Zhengchen and Gong Lu were rather satisfied when they saw how respectful Quan Jue was towards their grandfather.
Therefore, they dismissed the idea of forcing him to drink.
Jiang Shen and Jiang Xiaoli sat beside Ou Zhenglin. Jiang Shen accompanied Ou Zhenglin as they ate and drank. Yan Zhengchen and Gong Lu would chime in from time to time.
Jiang Xiaoli had no chance to interrupt at all. As she ate, her gaze wandered back and forth between Yan Zhengchen, Gong Lu, and Quan Jue.
These three men were better looking than any she had seen before.
Moreover, they didn't seem to have simple identities.
Especially the young man opposite her. He had clear features and was so handsome that he looked like he had walked out of a painting. He was her favorite type.
"Jiaojiao, eat more." Liu Ruhua was closer to Chi Jiao and picked up a cola chicken wing for her.
"Grandma, try this soup made by Brother Quan. It's super delicious." Chi Jiao scooped a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Liu Ruhua.
Quan Jue looked at the interaction between the two with a doting gaze. His lips couldn't help but curl into a faint smile.
Jiang Xiaoli stared straight at him. When she saw that his gaze was following Chi Jiao, the corners of her thin and shriveled lips twitched in disdain.
It seemed like all the men in this world were the same. They liked little white flowers like Chi Jiao who didn't seem to have any brains or substance.
Chi Jiao, who was talking to Liu Ruhua, suddenly looked up at Jiang Xiaoli.
Coincidentally, she saw her staring at Quan Jue in a daze.
"Grandma, why is my Hong Zai missing?" Chi Jiao suddenly raised her voice and asked.
Instantly, everyone's gazes gathered on Chi Jiao.
"What's Hong Zai?" Jiang Shen asked curiously.
Chi Jiao sensed that Quan Jue was also looking at her in confusion. She turned to look at him and said, "Hong Zai is a medicinal flower I'm raising. I don't know if you've seen it before, but it's in the flowerbed in the courtyard. The most beautiful red flower is Hong Zai."
Quan Jue nodded.
Sitting beside Jiang Shen, Jiang Xiaoli's expression changed.
"Gone?" Liu Ruhua's expression was full of confusion. "I was watering it this morning. How did it suddenly disappear? “
"I only realized that Hong Zai was missing before dinner. It looks like someone took it away," Chi Jiao said slowly as her dark eyes looked at Jiang Xiaoli, who was sitting opposite her.
Jiang Xiaoli was already feeling a little guilty. When she met Chi Jiao's sharp gaze, she couldn't help but panic.
Chi Jiao observed Jiang Xiaoli's expression and saw the panic that flashed across her face.
Ou Zhenglin's expression was also very serious as he looked at Jiang Xiaoli.
Hong Zai was very important to Jiaojiao. It was her painstaking effort. He, his wife, Yan Zhengchen, and Gong Lu all knew about it.
Therefore, they wouldn't touch Hong Zai.
Although Quan Jue was also an outsider, he was brought back by Jiaojiao. Ou Zhenglin believed in his character and felt that he wouldn't pick the flower.
Jiang Shen had always been with Ou Zhenglin. Ou Zhenglin felt that he didn't have time to pick the flower.
In that case, only Jiang Xiaoli was left as a suspect.
