Chapter 98: Eating
He Shikai took the two of them to eat in the suburbs.
An elegant gray-white Chinese courtyard suddenly appeared on the edge of the row of white-walled and black-tiled buildings, and the pavilions and attics were hidden in the green hills, like a group of golden pheasants mixed with a crane, which was very conspicuous.
The house extends from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain, covering a wide area, surrounded by a high wall, which is very private.
The security guard at the door looked at the membership card handed over by He Shikai, and only after checking that it was correct did he let a few people in.
The quaint wooden doors of the courtyard are ajar. Pushing open the door, the first thing that catches your eye is the four-corner pavilion on the left side of the small courtyard, and there are stone tables and stone benches in the pavilion. In front of the pavilion is a row of green bamboos. In front of the green bamboo is a long stone bench distributed high and low.
The floor of the small courtyard is paved with bluestone, and in the middle of the road is a stone jar with a diameter of about one meter, in which water lilies are raised.
On the opposite side of the pavilion is a swing made of logs, on which vines are wrapped.
As soon as Chen Dong'er saw the swing, she cheered and rushed over, and couldn't wait to sit on the swing here and there, looking like a curious baby.
Magnolia covered her forehead and was a little funny.
He Shikai glanced at Yulan, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and his eyes were gentle.
Seeing that Chen Dong'er didn't want to leave for a while, He Shikai took Yulan and sat down in the pavilion.
Yulan glanced at the surrounding environment and felt that it had a classical charm, but she liked it very much.
She propped her chin and looked ahead, and said, "I used to think about buying a mountain by myself and then building a Chinese-style villa on the land. However, my aunt likes crowded places, and if she lives far away from the crowd, she will definitely get sick, so I didn't buy it. ”
She sighed, "I bought the villa without saying hello to my aunt today, and my aunt will definitely scold me when I go home." Hey, it would be nice if I grew up soon, my aunt always thinks I'm a child, and she thinks I'm wrong in everything I do, so I have to borrow the name of my eldest brother and sister every time I do anything. ”
She lay on the stone table, pouting unconsciously when she spoke, and the words she said were also soft and glutinous.
He Shikai was accustomed to seeing her calm and self-contained appearance, and when he saw the delicate state of a little daughter like her, his heart suddenly softened.
He smiled and saw that she didn't speak, and Magnolia just complained, and didn't need anyone to respond.
Chen Dong'er had a lot of fun on the swing alone, Yulan was envious, and the joy or sadness of her youth was very straightforward, Yulan hoped that she could always be so carefree.
She asked He Shikai: "Ah Shi, do you think Aunt He will go abroad?"
He Shikai shook his head: "Unless you smuggle in, you can always find traces." My old man has looked for someone to check, but he has not found any clues for the time being. ”
Yulan frowned: "It's impossible for the two big living people to disappear inexplicably like this, I think either they were forced to hide, or they were detained, or because they were in a place where transportation or communication was inconvenient?"
He Shikai didn't speak, he and Lao He discussed it according to the clues they found, and they both felt that it was unlikely that the two would survive, and it was likely to be artificial.
However, this cannot be said to either Yulan or Dong'er.
Since someone can make two big living people die without seeing the corpse, and can also wipe the traces clean, it shows that the energy of the people behind them is not small.
Dong'er is still young and can't hold her breath, and Yulan is too affectionate, and they don't have the ability to face the people behind them.
Chen Dong'er lost interest after swinging for a while, urging the two people in the pavilion to leave quickly.
"Brother, I'm so hungry, hurry up. What's there to eat here?"
He Shikai knocked her on the head, "Are you still playing there when you're hungry?"
The three of them entered the Moon Cave Gate and walked along the verandah by the lotus pond to the depths of the courtyard.
He Shikai didn't need anyone to guide the way, and led the two of them up the long stone steps.
Yulan asked curiously, "You used to come often?"
He Shi laughed and said, "Well, almost. This is Guo Xinlong's territory. ”
Magnolia knows.
The three of them chose a box and sat down, He Shikai understood the preferences of Yulan and Chen Dong'er, and did not look at the menu, casually reported a few dish names, and instructed: "Don't use meat oil for vegetarian dishes." ”
The waiter in the cheongsam smiled and retreated.
Chen Dong'er asked curiously: "It's the long holiday now, why is it so deserted here?"
He Shikai didn't explain, but Yulan knew that where you could enter the door and have a priori identity, how could business be bad, and it must be because of the layout that you can't meet others.
The speed of serving the food was very fast, and Chen Dong'er couldn't close his mouth when he looked at the dishes one by one.
"I'll go! This is so pretty, I can't even bear to put down the chopsticks!"
The mouth says this, but the start is not slow at all. While eating, I couldn't stop praising it inarticulately.
Yulan Wan'er, eating with Chen Dong'er, felt a little better appetite. She only picks vegetarian dishes to eat, and does not touch the meat at all as usual.
After eating until she was full, Magnolia put down her chopsticks.
He Shikai hasn't finished eating yet, and he looks very elegant.
Magnolia looked at him intently, and said casually: "People say that it is beautiful and delicious, but I finally saw it today." How did I notice it before, did I see you for too long?"
He Shi shook his hand, was he teased?
But the little girl opposite had clear eyes, appreciation but no infatuation, and He Shikai felt uncertain again.
Alas, the little girl has not yet opened her mind, and some are waiting.
Chen Dong'er collapsed on the chair and said, "Why don't I feel it?" If you look at my brother's face every day, you will be immune to his beauty sooner or later. Really, trust me. ”
He Shikai couldn't eat anymore, put down his chopsticks and was about to speak, when someone turned in at the door and laughed loudly: "He boy, you are willing to come back to see me." The tone is familiar and intimate.
He Shikai said to the waiter at the door, "Take them out for a walk." ”
Guo Xinlong sat on the low couch by the window, turning an object between his fingers with an object in his hand, watching He Shikai whisper to one of the little girls.
This kid used to always look cold and unapproachable, but now he finally has a little more fireworks.
A few people walked away, and He Shikai walked to the other side of the low couch and sat down.
Guo Xinlong asked with interest: "Sister?"
He Shikai replied: "Cousin." But he didn't say which one was his cousin.
Guo Xinlong didn't believe it, but he didn't debunk it, and said with a smile: "If that kid Chenglin doesn't say it, I don't even know that you're back." ”
He Shikai glanced at him obliquely, "Is there anything else in City C that you don't know about?"
Guo Xinlong laughed: "We are serious businessmen. ”
He Shikai: "Hehe. ”
Guo Xinlong laughed heartily: "Say, you kid has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, what are you looking for me?"
He Shikai handed him a piece of paper, and if Magnolia was here, she would have seen that this was one of the pictures she had drawn of the accident scene.
Guo Xinlong waited for his following.
He Shikai nodded at one of them: "Find evidence of this person's violation of the law and hand it over to the police, and send him to prison, the longer the better." ”
He Shikai was still afraid that Yulan would put himself in danger, so he wanted to solve this trouble.
And for Guo Xinlong, it's just a matter of raising his hand.
Guo Xinlong said angrily: "I am a businessman!"
He Shi gave him a white look, who was it?
"I know which stocks are going to go up in the near future. ”
Guo Xinlong smiled, "Deal! I said how long you have a brain, can this be calculated? The ones you told me before have all risen, good guy, the money you make is almost catching up with the profit of this store for a year." ”
He Shikai frowned: "You take it easy, there is a risk in stock trading, and I am not 100% right." You don't have any pants left for you to lose. ”
Guo Xinlong's heart sank, he had indeed been a little carried away recently and lost his sense of proportion.
He asked He Shikai, "When will you want it?"
He Shikai said: "The sooner the better." ”
Guo Xinlong didn't talk nonsense, and threw the things he was playing with to He Shikai: "Meet the gift, give it to your little girl." ”
He Shikai took it and said, "Thank you." ”
Guo Xinlong smiled: "It's not easy to hear you say thank you." ”
