Chapter 429 Sang Yingjie’s Phone Call
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The charm of a mature woman should not be underestimated, especially for such a noble and beautiful woman. Father Shu deliberately avoided Ruo Ya, as if he wanted to prove something; but the more he tried to avoid her, the more people felt that he was too nervous.
Being a man, I understood that watching beautiful women was actually just one of men’s instincts.
“Xiao Chu, where is the bathroom?”
“The bathroom is…” I was stumped by this question. Where is the bathroom? Father Shu was embarrassed to ask Ruo Ya and the maids, so he came to ask me. But how would I know where the bathroom was? Chu Yuan, Shu Tong, and Dong Xiaoye didn’t want to help me. When I turned my head to look at them, they had already moved far away from me, for fear that Father Shu would ask them.
Seeing the suspicion in Father Shu’s eyes, I cleared my throat calmly and said to the damn woman who wanted to see me making a fool of myself, “Min Rou, please take Uncle Shu to the bathroom.”
Min Rou was stunned for a few moments. When she finally reacted, she glared at me fiercely.
It was just a simple question – where the bathroom is, but it could make me break out in a cold sweat. I wiped the sweat on my forehead secretly and couldn’t help but smile, ‘This lie is getting bigger and bigger, I don’t know if we will be able to carry on lying to them like this…’
What Mother Shu made were really home-cooked dishes. Stewed pork vermicelli, fried braised octopus, braised carp, homemade tofu, fried mutton with green onion, fried beans, fried pork with mushrooms… Although they were regular dishes that people often eat at home, the dishes made by Mother Shu looked like delicious delicacies. Even Min Rou also couldn’t help asking Mother Shu if there were any tips for cooking.
What I didn’t expect was that Min Rou could also cook. During the meal, she was exchanging some of her personal experience in preparing some dishes like stewed meat and stewed fish with Mother Shu, and the housekeeper Ruo Ya would also add a few words from time to time.
With them talking enthusiastically at the dining table, the atmosphere at the table was particularly relaxed. I was an out-and-out layman at cooking, who was even named “Prince of Instant Noodles” by Liusu, so I could only focus on eating.
After finishing the second bowl of rice, I noticed that Chu Yuan hadn’t even touched her bowl and chopsticks. As I turned to look at her, I noticed that she was doing something under the table. Only after I curiously leaned back slightly to see what she was doing, did I find out that she was actually noting down all the cooking tips that Mother Shu taught Min Rou and Ruo Ya using her phone. While doing so, she also muttered to herself, “Oh, so that’s how it should be done. The eggplant needs to be peeled first and then cooked in low heat for it to have a tender texture. And for it to have a sweeter taste, I need to cut some minced garlic… Mhm, mhm, to stew, it is best to do it in a clay pot or a casserole, and the meat should be pork belly… But he doesn’t like to eat meat that is too fat. Ah, that’s right. I can buy some meat that has less fat. Mhm, I will do it this way…”
While listening, she also summed up what she learned, looking very serious and humble. She was probably much more serious than listening to her teacher in the class. Although everyone had their own interests and hobbies, Chu Yuan, who was indifferent and arrogant outside and sloppy and lazy at home, was so devoted to cooking, which always surprised me. Was it her dream to be a chef? I couldn’t tell if I was trying to escape from being moved or escape from something else, because I knew who the “he” Chu Yuan said was…
Suddenly, a cell phone ringing interrupted the women’s conversation. I smiled apologetically and checked the caller ID, but the moment I saw who it was, my expression became stiff. I stood up and walked away from the table. Only after I left the table for some distance did I answer the phone call.
“Brother Chu, are you free to come out and sit down to have a conversation with me?” It was Sang Yingjie’s voice that came from the phone.
I turned around and took a peek secretly. Seeing Dong Xiaoye not paying attention to me, I asked in a low voice, “Is it about what happened last night?”
“Mhm,” Sang Yingjie’s tone became even more stern, “This matter is both simple and complicated, but it is not something I can handle, so I need to get some opinions from Brother Chu.”
I didn’t understand what Sang Yingjie meant by this, but I still asked, “Where are you?”
“The KFC restaurant next to your company.”
KFC? Did gangsters like Sang Yingjie like fast food restaurants? I said, “I’m not in the company right now, wait for me for a while, I will arrive in half an hour.”
“Okay… Oh, one more thing,” Sang Yingjie added, “Better bring Officer Dong and Miss Mo as well…”
“Why?” I was secretly surprised. The people that the students hired by Lin Yun’an wanted to stab were me and Yang Wei, so why did he ask me to bring Dong Xiaoye and Mo Fei. Moreover, how did he know that I could bring Dong Xiaoye?
“This thing can’t be explained in one sentence or two, you will know everything when you come.”
I hung up the phone and turned around. Just when I was hesitating on how to talk to Dong Xiaoye, I saw her put down her bowl, got up, and said, “I’m done, grandma, uncle, and auntie, you can take your time, I need to leave and do something with my cousin first.”
Er… Did she hear everything? But how could she hear it from such a faraway distance?
Chu Yuan asked curiously, “Elder Brother, what are you going?”
“There is something in the company, I need to head back to deal with it…”
Grandma Shu said, “Since it’s work, then go, don’t worry about us. Be careful when driving on the road, and don’t drive too fast.”
The old woman’s words finally made me realize why everyone was looking at me with a worried face. It turned out that I had revealed everything on my face.
“Mhm,” I simply nodded and then looked at Min Rou and Shu Tong, “Call me if you need anything. I will try to get back as soon as I can.”
Shu Tong nodded, “It’s okay, don’t worry about us.”
Min Rou saw through my worries and smiled, “Mr. Chu, you can leave them to me. So don’t worry.”
It was exactly because they were staying with her that I was worried. However, I didn’t have much choice. I could only hope that she would not do anything that was too exaggerated.
With Dong Xiaoye’s police car, the journey that would normally take me more than half an hour only took us fifteen minutes. The moment I got out of the car, I saw Mo Fei standing outside KFC. It seemed that she had arrived for a while, but probably because she was afraid of Sang Yingjie, she didn’t dare to go inside to wait for me…
“Chu Nan, why does Sang Yingjie want to invite us to a place like this?”
Like me, Mo Fei was also confused about why Sang Yingjie would choose a fast food restaurant as our meeting location. But before I could say anything, Dong Xiaoye said coldly: “Huh! I don’t care why he invited us here, but if he dares to mess with me, I won’t let him go easily!”
Because I had concealed the incident that Lin Yun’an hired a group of students to stab me last night from Sister Tiger, Sister Tiger had been in a terrible mood along the way. I was so scared of her livid face that I didn’t even dare to take the initiative to speak to her on the way here. I knew she disliked Sang Yingjie, but her words were clearly not something that a police officer should say, so I said hesitantly, “Xiaoye, I think as a good police officer, you shouldn’t say something like this…”
“Huh!” Dong Xiaoye glared at me fiercely and said, “Don’t let me find out what you two are doing, otherwise, you are dead!”
It turned out that she was not angry at Sang Yingjie but me…
After arriving on the second floor, I looked around, trying to find Sang Yingjie among many customers inside the KFC. But immediately, a girl in a blue suspender dress stood up from the corner table by the window, waving her hands at us exaggeratedly, “Uncle, here, here!”
Seeing the girl, I was so shocked that my eyeballs almost popped out of my eye sockets and fell to the ground. ‘Why is Xiao Yike here?!’ When I saw Sang Yingjie sitting on the opposite side of her with a wry smile, I finally knew why he would choose KFC. That ferocious and cruel gangster was like a servile eunuch in front of Xiao Yike at the moment. He didn’t have the scary look that he showed last night at all.
The atmosphere was very awkward. There were noises and laughter all around, but our table was very quiet. Even Xiao Yike, who was calling me excitedly earlier, was also only focused on biting chicken wings in small bites now. Even though she had greeted Mo Fei nonchalantly, from the fact that she sat in between Mo Fei and me, it could be seen that she still disliked her.
Sang Yingjie sat on the opposite side, with a restrained look, as if he didn’t know how to explain why Xiao Yike was also here, while Dong Xiaoye had a gloomy face and stared at Sang Yingjie sternly.
I knew that I had to break the ice, but the moment my lips moved, Dong Xiaoye said, “Sang Yingjie, you really have some nerve. Do you think because we got nothing on you so we are not able to do anything to you? Asking me to come here. Are you trying to provoke me?”
“Officer Dong, calm down, I didn’t mean that at all,” Sang Yingjie shook his head and said, “The reason why I asked Brother Chu to bring you here is that what I’m going to tell him today may also be something that you want to know. After all, this matter is within your scope of work…”
“He is not your brother, okay! He will never associate with a person like you.” I knew Dong Xiaoye was trying to draw the line between me and Sang Yingjie so as to protect me, but what she said was still too abrupt.
Like me, Sang Yingjie also knew Dong Xiaoye’s intention, but he only smiled apologetically and said, “Yes, Officer Dong, you are right, he is not my brother. I should call him Mr. Chu… Hehe…”
Seeing Sang Yingjie lowered himself and gave her enough face, Dong Xiaoye eased her expression and said, “Lin Yun’an hired seven students to attack Chu Nan, and you illegally detained those seven students are both within my scope of work. So which one do you mean specifically?”
