The next day, Zuo Li and Gu Beibei went out to the banquet venue in Beijing.
The banquet was held in a restaurant. This restaurant was obviously old and had been around since the Republic of China.
However, there were many vehicles on this road, and we saw guards on site to maintain order.
Zuo Li had already learned about the situation last night, so he was not surprised to see such a scene.
This man was once a big shot in the military, but now he has retired, not to mention that he has a very senior position in Beijing circles.
Let’s just say that his past contributions are worthy of such treatment.
Zuo Li and Gu Beibei did not attract any attention before entering the restaurant.
Everyone took the invitation and entered the restaurant after passing the inspection at the door.
In the restaurant, as soon as you enter, you will see a huge crystal light and a variety of food and drinks prepared in two rows.
There were singers performing on the stage, and the entire scene looked a bit like scenes Zuo Li had seen in some movies in the 21st century.
This made Zuo Li feel for a moment that he had traveled back in time, because everything here looked so modern.
It wasn't until she saw how the guests were dressed that she had a sense of reality that it was just the 1980s.
Zuo Li sent Gu Beibei somewhere else.
Gu Beibei was not worried about Zuo Li. She felt that Zuo Li would be cleaner if she was not by his side.
She will attract more attention when she is around Zuo Li.
However, before leaving, Gu Beibei still said, "We can't just walk away like yesterday."
Zuo Li nodded obediently, then ran to the side, took a glass of sweet wine and took a sip.
Immediately afterwards, he began to take food and eat without caring about the image.
"It's delicious!" Zuo Li's eyes lit up.
Her cooking skills are already very good, but the food in this show is also extremely delicious.
I have to say that I feel most at ease now when I haven't been recognized by anyone.
Even though many guests looked at her strangely, Zuo Li didn't care at all.
She knew that these people didn't come here just to eat, and they might have eaten before they came.
For these people, coming here to meet more people and expanding their circle of friends is the most important thing.
Maybe someone will directly make a business deal in such a scenario.
This is all normal.
She sat in the corner and looked at more and more people in front of her, gathering together in twos and threes, discussing something.
It was quite enjoyable to watch.
She used to be an author, so she was very interested in observing these people.
If Zuo Li comes here today, he will definitely not stay here quietly.
But before going to this social occasion, it’s good to enjoy this time first.
Just as Zuo Li was thinking this, she saw the back of a woman from the corner of her eye. This back made her stunned.
Then he frowned and said, "Could it be her?"
Zuo Li thought it was very similar, but also felt that she might have seen it wrong.
But thinking of something, she stood up and walked in that direction.
When I reached the corner, I saw a long corridor with no one else around.
Anyway, I didn’t see the person I saw before.
But he saw a person dressed as a waiter, and immediately grabbed him and said, "I just saw a woman wearing clothes like yours. Do you know where she is?"
"Women?" Hearing this, the man was stunned, and then said, "We have both male and female waiters. Which one is this guest talking about?"
Zuo Li frowned, feeling that the range he gave was indeed too large.
She sighed, thinking again that she had just seen it wrong.
After all, the entire capital is so big, how could she meet someone familiar?
But she didn't know why, but she still took a few steps towards the long corridor where there was no one.
I found nothing and was about to turn back when I heard crying.
This was the cry of a woman, with an extremely sad feeling, and the sound was a bit familiar.
Zuo Li immediately walked a few steps towards the direction of the sound, and finally found a person in the stairwell.
The man was sitting on the steps with his back to Zuo Li, crying.
"Sister Shen."
With a hesitant cry, the woman who was sitting there crying silently turned her head suddenly.
The moment she saw the other person's face, Zuo Li completely confirmed that this person was none other than the Shen Cuilan she met on the green train.
She also has a son named Jinzi!
Zuo Li was surprised, "Sister Shen, it's really you, why are you here?"
Shen Cuilan didn't seem to expect to see Zuo Li here.
Surprised, he stood up suddenly.
But it shook for some reason.
"Be careful, Sister Shen!"
If Zuo Li hadn't stepped forward quickly and grabbed her, she might have rolled down the stairs.
"Be careful, how could this happen? Why are you working as a waiter here?"
Is it possible that you came here to supplement your family income?
Zuo Li was thinking in her mind, but soon her expression turned serious.
Because she saw that one side of Shen Cuilan's face was slightly swollen, and there were faint traces of bruises between her neck.
Her expression changed drastically, and she suddenly pulled up Shen Cuilan's sleeves, and saw bruises all over her arms.
He was obviously beaten!
"Sister Shen, what on earth is going on?!"
Zuo Li was very angry. Not to mention that she knew this person now. Even if he was a stranger, she would probably be angry when she saw this situation.
Shen Cuilan: "I didn't expect to see you here, Lili."
Shen Cuilan was very anxious and wanted to pull her hand back to cover up the scars, but Zuo Li held it tightly and looked at her firmly.
"Sister Shen, what is going on? Can you tell me? There is still gold."
Shen Cuilan burst into tears when she heard Zuo Li's words. She almost collapsed and said: "Jinzi, Jinzi is sick!"
Zuo Li's expression turned serious, "What on earth happened?"
what is going on?
This woman was on the train before, although she looked very country-like.
Perhaps to city people, she looks like a country girl.
But at that time her eyes were bright and her face was full of expectation.
She is memorable and beautiful like that.
How does she look like the woman in front of me now? Not only her body is covered in bruises, but even her eyes are dim.
Shen Cuilan shook her head, but couldn't say a word.
After a while, he said: "Lili, don't worry about it. This matter has nothing to do with you. You'd better not know anything, otherwise it won't be good for you at all."
Zuo Li didn't understand anything after hearing this.
I am afraid that the person who caused Shen Cuilan to become like this is not a simple person.
Zuo Li immediately said: "Sister Shen, do you believe me? If you believe me, tell me everything that happened to you.
If I can help, then I will definitely help. If I can't help, I won't embarrass myself.
And tell me, you will feel better, right?"
Shen Cuilan probably had been depressed for too long. After staring at Zuo Li for a while, she hugged her and cried: "Li Jun has another woman, and that woman is very noble..."
