C79 (1/2)
Even though she was bored, Xia Xiaoxi still stood there with the book in her hand, waiting for him with a smile on her face.
After he walked closer, he asked with a smile, ”Is there something that JASON wants to talk to me about?”
In gold. In the bright sunlight, JASON, dressed in a well-made black dress sewn by the Italian master's own hands, looked tall and straight. Pull, handsome, handsome, outstanding.
He wore a white shirt under the black gown, and a milky-white vest over the white shirt, looking solemn and dignified.
She remembered that she had only seen this kind of attention in English dramas. Those were all royalty with noble blood.
It was the first time she'd seen JAOSN dressed so grandly.
With a smile, she revealed eight snow-white teeth, ”I won't be able to find the white tie for a while. I remember that Zi Xiao has it, so he decided to borrow it.”
”Must you wear a white bow tie? So grand, and I feel as if I have returned to the Middle Ages, when you were the elegant British royalty. ” ”What kind of dinner is it that makes you dress up like this?”
”Didn't Zi Xiao tell you?” JASON looked at her in surprise, then laughed. ”That's right, he can't invite you. It would only make you angry if he told you.”
She smiled. ”I'm not angry. I know I have to be patient enough to wait for him. ” He led him into the bedroom, opened the drawer, found a white tie and handed it to him.
”Hmm. ”Yes.” He took it and hit it himself in the mirror, saying casually, ”The guest of honor was General ROBERT, who was of great importance in American politics. His grandfather was a royal member of the British royal family, so certain traditions were passed down, and even though ROBERT was born and raised in the United States, it was said to be very careful with the red tape of the British royal family. If we ask for his help, we will naturally have to follow his wishes. ”
”A favor?” she asked doubtfully.
With regards to the Mo family, she always felt that she was a mysterious existence. Mo Zixiao never liked to talk about it, so she had no way of understanding him. Now that it was rare for him to be in a good mood, he started gossiping.
Besides, if she knew more about the Mo family, it might be of great help to her in the future! There's an old saying in China, 'Know yourself, know your enemy, and be invincible in a hundred battles!' Is it?
”Didn't you read yesterday's paper?” How could you not know such a big thing happened? ” JASON frowned at her as if she were a monster.
”Ugh …” I've never really cared about current affairs. ” She was a little ashamed of herself.
After coming here, her mind was filled with all sorts of messy things that she needed to worry about. She was busy with her own things, so how could she have the time to care about these foreign news?
”Sigh!” That is related to Zi Xiao! ” JASON sighed.
”About Zi Xiao? ”What is it?” She was stunned. Thinking about how he was recalled by the Mo family, her already uneasy heart became even more anxious.
”I don't like to talk about people. If you want to know, go find a newspaper and read it! I'll be leaving first! ” As if aware of his slip of the tongue, JASON simply said a few words before leaving in a hurry.
His hesitation made her feel uncomfortable, but it also made her more anxious to know what had happened.
He hurriedly ran downstairs to the living room, grabbed a large stack of newspapers from under the tea table, and flipped through the pages from yesterday. However, he couldn't find a single piece of information that mentioned Mo Zixiao's name.
Had JASON intentionally set up a bewitching array to make her worry about Mo Zixiao?
Or was it because Mo Zixiao had missed something important?
He must have missed something!
Thinking of this, he watched all the news, be it political, financial, or entertainment, once again. He read them all carefully.
After two or three more selections, all attention was finally focused on the news that the mayor's wife had been shot in the bedroom for an affair.
After thinking about it for a while, he realized that this was the only line that was shocking enough.
JASON said it had something to do with Mo Zixiao, could it be that this mayor's wife was having an affair with someone like Mo Zixiao?
Her tragic death directly affected Mo Zixiao, and that was why he was recalled by the Mo family yesterday?
The purpose of holding such a grand banquet immediately after recalling the event was only to ask for help from ROBERT, hoping that he would help to eliminate any hidden dangers.
I wonder how he is doing now?
After such a huge incident had occurred, they must have faced all sorts of blame from all the forces when they went back, right?
He must be in a terrible mood.
Would the Mo family take the opportunity to force him to do something terrifying?
Her heart inexplicably pounded violently. She only felt that there was a terrible thing like a monster hiding nearby and secretly spying on her. It was as if it would open its bloody mouth and swallow her whole anytime and anywhere.
Fear made her want to go to his side and see if he was all right, even if she just stood there and looked at him for a moment and then left.
