Chapter 5 Beauty Revisited
It was originally Friday, and by eleven o'clock, everyone was already unintentional to work. They sat together and chatted. At ten minutes, ten o'clock, Song Youwei walked out of the office, and then they took Song Youwei's special car to Tianque Tower and sat in a box that had been booked long ago. Song Youwei was in the mood to have a meal. After just taking a few bites, he refused to leave the seat early. The remaining four people laughed tacitly.
The meal was eaten until after two o'clock, and everyone left the table with enough food. Liu Zhenhua asked Liu Xiangying for leave for some time in the evening, so he took the three of them into a taxi and left alone.
Liu Zhenhua went home and fell asleep. He woke up until dusk, took a cold shower, felt shocked, took out the business card left by Jiang Shuixin and called.
"Hello, Mr. Liu!" Jiang Shuixin's voice came from the phone.
Liu Zhenhua smiled and said, "Miss Jiang is indeed powerful. I don't seem to have given you or me a call, but you know it's me. Tsk tsk, it's really not simple!"
Jiang Shuixin's sneer came from the phone: "Mr. Liu is clear in thinking. He knows that I have some background, but he is not afraid at all. In my opinion, it is quite good!"
"Miss Jiang, don't be angry. A capable person like Miss Jiang combines wisdom and beauty. It is natural for the mayor and son to pursue you. In my opinion, even a three-year-old boy would think Miss Jiang is extremely charming." Liu Zhenhua said with a smile.
A light laugh sounded after the phone, and Jiang Shuixin's voice sounded again, but it was less cold: "Mr. Liu was very chic at the Imperial Tower at noon. Now I call me, don't you also want to invite me to have a meal at the Imperial Tower?"
Liu Zhenhua's voice stopped, and a cold voice roared behind him: "Miss Jiang, don't be hitting me, I am a timid, I have just returned from hell, but I don't want to be a regular customer!"
"Okay, then just say it, what's wrong with you?"
"If Miss Jiang hasn't had dinner yet, you might as well come to my house to try my skills!"
"What will you do? Can you impress me?" After a while of silence, Jiang Shuixin's voice came again.
"It's simple to talk to smart people, I think you will be satisfied!" Liu Zhenhua said.
"Okay, I'll be here at half past eight. I hope you won't let me down!" Jiang Shuixin hung up the phone, and couldn't help but smile.
Liu Zhenhua shouted happily: "Laohe, you really have a clever plan. You follow your plan step by step. The boy is so impressed!"
"Hehe, little guy, you are also very sensible. In my opinion, the future is bright!"
Liu Zhenhua laughed out loud, put on his clothes and walked out. After all, he agreed to let Jiang Shuixin come for dinner, and he could not say that Liu Zhenhua would have to make some sumptuous meals.
Time passed by little by little. At 8:30 on time, three clear knocks sounded outside the door. Liu Zhenhua looked at the time and nodded in admiration. Opening the door, there was the beautiful and charming Jiang Shuixin outside.
In order to welcome the beautiful girl to dinner, Liu Zhenhua had already cleaned the house, at least the area was not cleaned and would not leak on the surface. The beauty was "appreciating the light". Liu Zhenhua was naturally happy: "You can do whatever you want, and you will be like your own home, and the food will be ready soon!" Say it, and walked into the kitchen.
Jiang Shuixin sat on the sofa and looked at Liu Zhenhua who was in and out serving dishes, looking around with a scarf. She couldn't help but look a little gentle. There were five dishes on the table, all of which were home-cooked dishes, steaming hot and fragrant.
Liu Zhenhua brought the last dish of egg and seaweed soup. Jiang Shuixin's eyes finally couldn't help but turn red. She took out a towel to wipe her eyes.
Jiang Shuixin smiled at Liu Zhenhua: "It makes you laugh, but you are wearing a scarf in the kitchen, busy like my brother. When I was in college, every time I came back from holidays, he would cook a sumptuous welcoming banquet for me. He didn't know much dishes, but I like to eat them. Whenever I wanted to enter the kitchen, he would drive me out and ask me to study hard..."
It was obvious that Jiang Shuixin fell into the memory of her brother. Liu Zhenhua didn't say anything, but listened quietly and handed the tissue box silently over. Jiang Shuixin slowly said: "That fool likes the most is fried eggs with tomatoes. But the tomatoes are so broken, and in the end, there are only skins left. The meat is fried with garlic shoots. The garlic shoots you choose are always freshest, and then they are always crispy, just like fried ones, but they are really delicious..."
Jiang Shuixin's face showed a happy smile from time to time, but tears rolled in her eyes, her voice became more and more choked, and she finally burst into tears.
This is the first time Liu Zhenhua saw Jiang Shuixin crying. Jiang Shuixin gave him the feeling of being a tough strong woman, an iron lady. She didn't expect that she would have such a weak side. Her pear blossoms were raining, and her thin body was slightly trembling. Liu Zhenhua unconsciously sat next to Jiang Shuixin, gently hugged Jiang Shuixin, and whispered: "Cry, cry out, cry out all the sadness, will you be happy every day in the future? Happy!"
Jiang Shuixin's tears seemed to burst into pieces, and finally shedded her tears uncontrollably. She lay in Liu Zhenhua's arms and cried: "Today is my birthday. Although I don't have mom or dad, my brother has been with me all the time. But this year, this year, he will no longer, wuwu..."
Liu Zhenhua's eyes couldn't help but burst into tears, and he tried to prevent him from falling. Liu Zhenhua suddenly felt that he was a bastard. All of this today was conspired by him and Heshen. Jiang Shuixin lost her parents since she was a child and depended on her brother for life. It must be Zhang Mingjiang who pulled her up with her hands. Naturally, the important task of cooking and cooking fell on Zhang Mingjiang. But what kind of dishes would ordinary men cook? It was mostly home-cooked dishes, so that Jiang Shuixin would become a monk. The taste of relatives, and even Liu Zhenhua's outfit today was imitating Zhang Mingjiang's appearance, just to move Jiang Shuixin, but he didn't expect that it would be her birthday, which made her miss everything she had with Zhang Mingjiang, which made her very sad.
"Zhang Mingjiang, I'm sorry, I swear to you that I will definitely protect your sister's happiness!" Liu Zhenhua swore in his heart and gently patted Jiang Shuixin's back.
It took a while for Jiang Shuixin to calm down and realize that she was actually lying in a man's arms. She suddenly raised her head and hit Liu Zhenhua's chin heavily. Liu Zhenhua groaned, opened her mouth, sobbed and bit her tongue.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Looking at Liu Zhenhua's painful tongue trembling, Jiang Shuixin apologized repeatedly.
"Ma Chi!" Liu Zhenhua spit out two completely distorted words, picked up a glass of water and poured it in, relieved for a while, and said with his tongue wide: "It's okay, your head will not hurt!"
"It's okay, I'm really sorry!" Jiang Shuixin said with a red face, remembering the previous scene again, and a hint of blushing on her cheeks was particularly tempting.
Liu Zhenhua's eyes were straightened. Jiang Shuixin lowered her head and finally couldn't help but snorted coldly. She raised her head and her face was filled with frost. Liu Zhenhua shuddered and came back to her senses. She picked up a clip of eggs and fried tomatoes, stuffed them into her mouth, and started chewing them.
A smile flashed in Jiang Shuixin's eyes, and then she became serious again: "Mr. Liu, can you tell me now, are you calling me here for the purpose?"
A trace of disappointment flashed in Liu Zhenhua's eyes, and he cheered up his spirits and said, "I already know the cause of your brother's death, but those are all speculations, so I need you to stay with me tonight and watch a show!"
Jiang Shuixin stared at Liu Zhenhua for a long time and finally said, "Stay here?" Jiang Shui thought for a while, and finally spoke firmly: "I'll stay with you for a night. If your show is something I don't want to see, the consequences will be very serious!" The last sentence was extremely cold.
Liu Zhenhua laughed: "You will be satisfied. You can eat some dishes, but it's still hot. Although there is no birthday cake, I hope you don't mind."
Jiang Shuixin lowered her head slightly: "It's good enough, thank you for everything you did for me today!" As she said that, she started to eat in small mouthfuls.
Neither of them spoke again. Liu Zhenhua tried to raise a topic several times. However, seeing that Jiang Shuixin seemed to be completely immersed in the enjoyment of savoring these home-cooked dishes, knowing that she was immersed in the memories of his brother again, Liu Zhenhua closed his mouth smartly and did not disturb Jiang Shuixin.
Jiang Shuixin entered the door at 8:30 and ate until after 9:30. Jiang Shuixin finally put down her chopsticks. In fact, she didn't eat much, but just picked up the vegetables, stopped at her mouth, looked at them for a long time, and then put them in her mouth. Liu Zhenhua said something in her heart, "What she ate is not the vegetables, but memories."
"The show will probably come very late. Why don't you take a break first? I'll call you then!" Liu Zhenhua said.
Jiang Shuixin refused without hesitation: "No, I have never slept for three days and three nights at work. This little sleepiness is nothing!"
"Okay." Liu Zhenhua turned on the TV, handed the remote control to Jiang Shuixin's hands, walked into the kitchen and started cleaning. He heard Jiang Shuixin turning the channel outside the kitchen, until a children's program, stopping, turning the sound a lot lowered, watching, and from time to time, a silver bell-like laughter came.
Liu Zhenhua felt sad again. Their childhood must have been very miserable, and there was no entertainment program, so she was more interested in children's programs! After cleaning the bowls and chopsticks in ten minutes, Liu Zhenhua didn't want to go out, for fear of disturbing Jiang Shuixin's happiness.
Until Liu Zhenhua felt a little anxious to pee, she walked out of the kitchen and found that Jiang Shuixin was already asleep on the sofa. A smile appeared slightly from the corner of her mouth. Liu Zhenhua took out a brand new blanket from the cabinet and gently draped it on her. Although it was the April weather in Jiangnan, the temperature was still low.
